HEARING NEARS CLOSE
Time and Speed on Runs Between
Two Cities Shown to Be Worse
Than in Other Big Zones.
THEORKGONIAX NEWS BUREAU,
"Washington, D. C, Dec. 11. In .
1oint of time and speed passenger ;
train service between Portland and ,
Seattle over the tracks used jointly
by the Oregon-Washington Railroad
& Navigation company, the North
ern Pacific and the Grat Northern
i.s virtually the worst in America
between any two important cities,
K. N. Finch, superintendent of the
O.-W. R. & N"., which is a part of
the Union Pacific system, admitted
on the witness stand today before
the interstate commerce commission, j
Joint Track ape Opposed. I
The examination of Mr. Finch 1
was a feature of the hearing on the :
Southern pacific company's applica-;
tion for authority to retain parts1
of its system in the corporate name
of the Central Pacific until the !
commission determines what dispo-,
sitiort shall be made of the Central
Pacific in the final railroad con- i
solidation plan. j
The Southern Pacific contends that 1
joint use -of tracks would be one of
the unsatisfactory results the pub-!
lie would face if tn Central Pacific j
were divorced from the Southern:
Pacific. j
Mr. Finch's admission as to the j
slew service given over the joint
tracks of the three railroads, be- 1
tween Portland and Seattle, was
made in reply to questions by Fred
H. Wood, attorney for the Southern
Pacific.
Speed of Trains Slow.
The questions and answers were
as follows:
Q. What speed does your fastest train
over that line make?
A. Six hours and 40 minutes.
J. And howymuch is that an hour?
A. Close to 1!S .miles an hour.
Q. Close to US miles an hour over a
track with seven miles of 1.2 pe:- cent
grade and the remainder level?
A. Pardon" me, Mr. Wood, how was
that?
tj. Po you know of any place in the
1 r.ited States between two cities of equal
importance where there is worse passen
Kt train service from the standpoint of
t ime and speed thaij there is between
Portland and Seattle?
A. Yop are. taking in a pretty wide
territory. 1 haven't checked up all the
passenger train service in the United
States. Mr. Wood.
tj. Do you know of any place in the
United States between two cities of
tquat importance where the passenger
P'avH requires the running of at least
sIa trains a day each way, where the
fastest train between those cities runs
ut as low a rate of speed as miles
an hour on a double track?
A. Why, no; I don't recall any.
Hearing In Final Ntntc'.
Mr. Finch was recalled for cross
examination by the Southern Pa
cific representatives.' At consider
able length Mr. Finch was ques
tioned as to his assertions that joint
use of railroad facilities in the
northwest on any extensive scale
had proved practical, efficient and
satisfactory to the public.
Mr, Finch originally was called
by the Union Pacific, which is op
posing the Southern. Pacific's at
tempts to regain control of the Cen
tral Pacific, despite the supreme
court's separation order.
Hearings before the commission
entered the final stages today when
introduction of direct testimony was
completed. .Attorneys representing
the various interests concerned,
however, arraneed to call new wit
nesses in rebuttal.
In addition a tentative agreement
was reached for extensive oral argu
ment before the commission after
th briefs in the case have been com
pleted and filed.
the court had held In the case of
Lipke versus Leddrer, collector, de
cided last June, that a collector of
internal revenue could not punish by
fine and penalty for an. alleged
criminal offense without hearing, in
formation, indictment or ,trial by
jury.
Trial in Held Necessary.
r The function of a tax, the court
said, "is to provide for the support
of the government; the function of
a-penalty clearly involves the idea
of punishment for infringement of
the law." To impose a penalty
notice must be given, it added, and
there must be a hearing. "Even
though the imposition is considered
a tax," it stated, "if it has punitive
purposes, it - must be preceded by
opportunity to contest its validity."
Congress never intended, the court
continued, that penalties, for crime
should 'be enforced through the se
cret findings and summary action
of executive officers. The guaran
tee of due process of law and trial
by jury, the justice stated, are not
to be forgotten or disregarded.
The collector of internal revenue
should have been restrained by the
courts through an injunction, he
added, from seizing the property and
attempting to enforce the so-called
taxes and assessments he had levied.
ELECTION ROUSES POLES
Nationalists Say They Will Xot
Support Executive. .
WARSAW, Dec. 11. (By the As
sociated Press.) The election Satur
day of Gabriel Narutowicz as presi
dent of Poland continued today to
excite hostile demonstrations and
there were many predictions of the
culmination of a serious situation.
The nationalist deputies have an
nounced officially that they, will re
fuse to support Xarutowicz or any
cabinet appointed by htm. He is
declared by the nationalists to be
hiherly unsatisfactory to them. They
'assert that he was elected by the
votes of the Jews, Ukrainians, Ger
mans and Kus-sians, receiving 186
Polish votes.

RELIEF ! EUROPE
5 URGED BY POPE
First Consistory Is Held by
New Pontiff.
EIGHT, CARDINALS -NAMED
Monsignor Giovanni -llonzano,
Apostolic Delegate in Wash
ington, Is Elected. '
ROME. Dec. 11. (By the Associ
ated Press.) In his allocution at his
first consistory today Pope Pius XI
referred to the conference at Genoa
and s-imiiar meeting's, asserting that
he would reiterate o the forthcom
ing Brussels conference his exhorta
tion to the Genoa delegates, to con
sider remedies for the sad condition
of many of the world's peoples. He
said that conferences such as the
proposed Brussels meeting Tvere
useless and likely to cause bitter
and dangerous disappointment un
les the governments decide to tem
per justice with charity.
The ceremony for the creation of
new cardinals was held in the pres
ence of all the cardinals living in
Rome. They were headed by Car
dinal Vincenzo Vannutelli.
The pontiff delivered an address
in Latin describing and praising
those whom he intended to raise to
the purple and ending with the tra
ditional formula wherein the con
sent of the sacred college for the
appointment of new members is re
quested. .
A'ew Cardinals Are Listed.
The eight cardinals created today
were:
Monsignor Achille Locatelli, nun
cio in Lisbon; Monsignor Giovanni
Bonzano, apostolic delegate in
Washington; Monsignor Henriquez
Rey y Casanova, archbishop of
Toledo; Monsignor Alexis- Charost,
archbishop of - Rennes; Monsignor
Arthur Stanislaus T.ouchet, arch
bishop of Orleans; Monsignor Eu
genio Tosi, archbishop of Milan;
Monsignor Giuseppe Mori, secretary
of the congregational council of
Jesuits, and the Rev. Father Franz
Ehrle, 'formerly the Vatican libra
rian. At 10 o'clock the pope, attended
by his ecclesiastical court, entered
the hall of the consistory wheTe
the cardinals assembled and seated
himself on the throne covered with
crimson damask. He wore the
"mozzetta," a short red velvet fur
trimmed cape; the falda, a white
taffeta train, and a red stole.
Palestine Protest Made.
In his allocution the pope pro
tested against the conditions in Pal
estine, where the large Catholic in
terests were not being sufficiently
safeguarded; pointed to the need for
continued help for Russia, in view
of the distressing conditions there,
and urged re-establishment of peace
and order throughout the world.
In regard to Palestine, he recalled
the allocution of the late Pope Bene
dict In the consistory which, charged
that the Jews were "taking advan
tage of the suffering of the inhab
itants, due to the war." He de
plored the privileged position en
joyed by the Jews in Palestine,
"which is dangerous for Christendom."
Pope Pius added that he adopted
this as his protest and that he would
carry out his predecessor's inten-1
iions as expressed on that occasion
so that "in the settlement of the
holy land the rights of the Cath
olics and all other Christians may
be safeguarded."
. Happiness Is Voiced.
The pope voiced his happiness at
welcoming the cardinals, who were
assembled for the first time since
his elevation. He also delivered a
eulogy on his"'predecessor.
He announced his coming Chris
tian encyclical, containing the pro
gramme of his pontificate, which
he summarized in these words:
"The peice of Christ in the king
dom of Christ." ,
The pope voiced his great anxiety
for the pitiable condition iitfo which
the eastern peoples were thrown
"by the recent catastrophes.1 He
recalled what the holy see had done
in the way of alleviation, though
remedies' are always, alas, inade
quate in such an extreme condition
of things. Nor was there much
less cause for sorrow regaruing the
case of unhappy Russia.
Exhortation to Be Repeated.
With regard to the coming allied
conference at, Brussels the pope said
he would address the delegates
there the same exhortation directed
at the -Genoa conference, namely,
"that they might consider the sad
conditions in which all peoples are
struggling, and what are efficacious
remedies to bo applied to such. grave
calamities."
"Indeed," he added, "such con
ferences will be, useless and will
develop into a bitter and dangerous
delusion for the suffering nations
until such time as the governments
decide to temper justice with char
ity, which policy will finally re
bound to the advantage of the vic
torious and the vanquished."
He pressed the hope that the ef
forts of the church would be com
pletely successful in restoring
peace and order.

, (By Chicag-o Tribune Leased Wire. j
NEW YORK, Dec. 11. The invis
ible empire was the object of 'vitri-'j
olic anti-Ku Klux Klan sermons de-
livered in several churches as a re- j
suit of an announcement by Assist-
ant, District Attorney Ferdinand Pe- j
cora that he will resume his probe i
into klan activities here.
While pastors denounced the klan
from their pulpits, Pecora declared
that he was not fully satisfied with
his recent interview with Rev. Osoar
Haywood, leading Ku Klux organ- :
izer in New York, and will recall j
the minister for a more complete ex
planation of his connection with the
klan.
At the Hotel McAlpin, where the
Rev. Mr. Haywood stayed for severs-. I
weeks after being requested to leave
the Hotel Hermitage, it was said
today he had checked out Saturday
and left no forwarding address.
Pecora stated that he had in his
possession the names and addresses
of many leaders of the klan in New
York and that he would request
these men to appear to give an ac
count of .their activities and sub
pena them if necessary.
Among the sermons delivered here
Sunday excoriating the klan were
those given by the Rev. John Roach
Stratou, pastor of Calvary Baptist
church, which recently dropped the
Rev. Mr. Haywood from its calendar
as general evangelist, and by the
Rev. Ralph W. Sock man, pastor of
the Madison-Avenue Methodist Epis
copal church.
Dr. Straton characterized the Ku
Klux Klan in the south and west as
a "white terror" largely under the
"domination and leadership of a lot
of 'lame duck'- preachers."
"They play out in the ministry,"
said Dr. Straton, "and then, instad
,of . selling insurance or peddliitg
churns as they did in former times,
they devote their time and talents to
'saving the country' by organizing
men into secret, disgusting societies
and dressing them up in, nightgowns
and dunce caps."
Speaking as a southerner himself.
Dr. Straton declared that he does
not believe the klan movement rep
resents the .better thought of the
souyi.
