THE NEW ELKINS . LAW
PROVIDES PEXALTBES FOR SHIP
PERS AS "WELL, AS CARRIERS.
Under This Act Proceedings May Be
Kcr-hii in Conrt "WithoHt PrevieHa
Hearing by Commission.
The new Elklns law hits directly at the
practice of favoritism and discrimination
In the matter of transportation, providing
penalties for the shipper who solicits or
accepts illegal favors as well as for the
company that offers or grants Xhem. In
asmuch as there is much interest in this
measure in the business world. The Ore
Ionian here republishes the new law in
full:
"Section L That anything done or omit
ted to be done by a corporation common
carrier, subject to the act to regulate 'com
merce and acts amendatory thereof, which,
if done or omitted by any lessee, trustee, re
ceiver, agent or representative of such cor
poration, would constitute a misdemeanor
under said act, shall be held to be a mis
demeanor by such corporation, and, upon
conviction thereof, -it shall be subject to
like penalties as are prescribed in said
acts with reference to individuals, except
as such penalties are herein changed. The
willful failure upon the part of any car
rier subject to said acts to file and publish
the tariffs or rates and charges, as re
quired by said acts, or strictly to observe
such tariffs until changed according to
law, shall be a misdemeanor, and, upon
conviction thereof, the corporation offend
ing shall be subject to a fine of not less
than 51000, nor more that $20,000; for each
offense; and it shall be unlawful for any
person, persons or corporation to offer,
grant or give, or to solicit, accept or re
celvo any rebate or discrimination in re
spect to the transportation of any proper
ty in interstate or foreign commerce by
any common carrier subject to the acts to
regulate commerce, whereby any such
property shall by any device whatever be
transported at a less rate than that named
in the tariffs published and filed by such
carrier, as is required by said acts to reg
ulate commerce. Every person or corpo
ration who shall offer, grant or give, or
solicit, accept or receive any such rebates,
concessions or discriminations shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof shall be punished by a
fine of not less than $1000 nor more than
$20,000. In all cases occurring after the
passage of this act for offenses under
said act to regulate commerce (whether
committed before or after the passage of
the act), or offenses under this action, no
penalty shall be passed on the convicted
party other than the fine prescribed by
law, imprisonment wherever now pre
scribed as part of the penalty being here
by abolished.
"Sec. 2. That in any proceeding for the
enforcement of the provisions of statutes
relating to Interstate commerce, whether
such proceeding be instituted before the
Interstate Commerce Commission of be
gun originally in any Circuit Court of tho
United States, it shall be lawful to In
clude as parties all persons, in addition
to the carrier, interested in or affected by
the rates, regulation or practice under
consideration, and inquiries, investiga
tions, orders and decrees may be made
with reference to and against such addi
tional parties In the same manner, to the
same extent, and subject to the same pro
visions as are or shall be authorized by
law with respect to carriers. ,
"Sec. 3. That whenever the Interstate
Commerce Commission shall have reason
able ground for belief that any common
carrier is engaged in the carriage of pas
senger or freight traffic between given
points at less than the published rates on
file, or is committing any discriminations
forbidden by law, it shall be authorized
to present a petition to the Circuit Court
of the United States having jurisdiction
of the parties alleging such practice;
whereupon it shall be the duty of the
court summarily to inquire Into the cir
cumstances, 'and. upon being satisfied, as
to the truth of the allegation, to enforce
an observation of the published tariffs or
require a discontinuance of such discrimi
nation by proper orders and process, which
said orders and process may be enforcible
as well against the. parties interested in
the traffic as against the carrier. It shall
be the duty of tho several District At
torneys of the United States, under the
direction of the Attorney-General, to in
stitute and prosecute such proceedings,
and the proceedings provided for by this
act shall not preclude the bringing of suit
for the recovery of damages by any party
injured, or any other action, provided by
said act, approved February 4, 1SS7, en
titled an act to regulate commerce, and
the act amendatory thereof, and in pro
ceedings under this act and the act to
regulate commerce the said court shall
have tho power to compel tho attendance
of witnesses, both upon tho part of the
carrier and the shipper, who shall be re
quired to answer on all subjects relating
directly or indirectly to tho matter In con
troversy; and to compel the production
of all books and papers, both of the car
rier and tho shipper, which relate directly
or indirectly to such actions; but all car
riers, corporations or shippers whose
books and papers are produced in evidence
in said proceedings, and all persons re
quired to testify, shall have the same Im
munity from prosecution and punishment,
and to the same extent and subject to the
same provisions as is provided for in an
act approved February 11, 1S3, entitled
An act in relation to testimony before the
Interstate Commerce Committee,' and in
cases or proceedings under or connected
with an act entitled 'An act to regulate
commerce,' approved February 4, 18S7, and
the amendments thereto.
"Sec, 4. That all acts and parts of acts
in conflict with the provisions of this act
are hereby repealed, but such repeal shall
not affect causes now pending, nor rights
which have already accrued, but such
causes shall be prosecuted to a conclusion,
and such rights enforced in tho manner
heretofore provided by law, and as modi
fied by tho provisions of this act."
TRAINS IX COLLISION.
Passenger Overtakes Freight Near
Cottage Grove None Ilurt.
Tho passenger train that left Portland
Friday evening for San Francisco was
delayed 12 hours at "Walker, a station four
miles this sido of Cottage Grove, by col
lision with an extra freight train. The
passenger train ran into the rear of the
freight about 1 o'clock yesterday morning,
badly wrecking the caboose and two cars
laden with lumber. The locomotive of the
passenger was seriously damaged. No
person was hurt.
The freight train had stopped prepara
tory to taking the switch, according to
orders. It was slow about it, however, and
there is a question as to whether its rear
was properly protected by a flagman. At
any rate when the passenger engineer dis
covered the other train there was not
time to stop, thought the speed of the
train was checked so that the impact
was comparatively light.
The track was blocked 12 hours. Trains
got through shortly after noon yesterday,
and lost evening both trains of the day
from the South reached Portland near
together.
EXPRESSION FROM IXDBPEXDEJfCE.
Change of Train Schedule Will Give
All Better Service.
INDEPENDENCE, On. March 10. (To
the Editor.) That an improvement in
train service south of TThltcson Is needed
is recognised over the whole of the "Wil
lamette Valley. The shippers from Cor
vallls, Parkers. "Wellsdale, Independence,
Rlckreall. Amity. McCoy and McMlnnville
recognize the poorness of the present
service. Some consideration should be
given these towns, but to tack a small,
overworked, dilapidated, little motor on
this run comes almost as a standing Joke.
TVc hold that Dallas and Sheridan, Per
rydale and Balls ton will have much bet
ter service on the plan outlined by the
Improvement League here, .and we think
that every fair-minded map recognizes it.
The "Willamette Valley is passing from its
Infancy, and the Southern Pacific should
do its best to help the growth of the Val
ley. Tho feeling is unanimous in Inde
pendence that the proper service Is not
given, and we ask for the best possible.
What is the use of pushing forward a
valley when the transportation is as poor
as it is? The "Willamette Valley has
passed from a stock range, and trains are
needed. G. A HURLEY, ,
Secretary of Independence Improvement
League.

THE INQUEST ON BURD1CK
(Continued from Page 9.)
"Then I said we had better send lor Dr.
Marcy."
"Why did you not go to the den that
morning?"
"I was too nervous."
"What did you think?"
"I did not know what had happened. I
thought perhaps it was Ed on the couch."
"But you had seen him sleeping there
before? Why were you afraid to see him
sleeping?"
"If he had been sleeping, my screams
would have awakened him. I wt56 afraid
to find him dead in there. Of course, H
did not know it."
"Then you did scream?"
"Yes; as loudly as I-could. I did not
arouse him, and I was frightened."
"You had no reason for expecting to find
him dead in there?"
"No, except that he did not respond to
my screams."
She did not use the telephone in the
house to call Dr. Marcy because it was
close to the children's room, and she did
not wish them to hear her. When Dr.
Marcy arrived, she told him she was afraid
something had happened.
Looks Calmly at Pictures.
Previous to Dr. Marcy's arrival, Mrs.
Hull said she had just stepped over the
threshold and looked in. At this point
Mr. Coatesworth handed Mrs. Hull a pho
tograph of the den with the body of the
murdered man lying on the couch, covered
as Dr. Marcy found It. Mrs. Hull took
the photograph without a tremble of her
hands and looked at It Intently and calm
ly. Then she discussed the picture and
pointed out the familiar objects In the
den. Mr. Coatesworth's examination was
conducted all through with the evident
purpose of breaking down the witness.
She kept the photograph before her for
many minutes.
Mr. Coatesworth then showed the wit
ness a photograph of the den after tho
covering had been removed from the body.
It showed the body of the murdered man
on the couch, with the battered and bloody
head. Mrs. Hull took the photograph
from Mr. Coatesworth and looked at it.
Her hands trembled a trifle.
"I8 that the way the den looked after
Dr. Marcy got there?" asked Mr. Coates
worth. "I never saw the room after he got
there." replied Mrs. Hull, looking the Dis
trict Attorney squarely In the eye.
Continuing, tho witness said she had
never asked and had never been told the
details of the tragedy. She denied having
said that she thought she knew some one
who might have done It. She had had no
conversation on the subject except with
the officials.
Xo Quarrel With. Bur dick.
Witness said she and Burdlck had never
quarreled. In response to a question from
Attorney Hubbell, Mrs. Hull said Bur
dlck had always treated her kindly and
with great consideration, and addressed
her as "mother."
"Isn't It a fact that you only stayed In
that house after your daughter left on ac
count of love for the children?"
"Yes; and for Mr. Burdlck's sake."
Maggie Murray, the cook at the Burdlck
house, was the next witness. She detailed
her movements as previously published, as
to seeing Burdlck in his underclothes and
afterward hearing some one working at
the furnace. She heard no further noise
in the house that night. She contradicted
Mrs. Hull's story of what transpired on
the morning of the murder. She said she
went to Mrs. Hull's bedroom and told her
about the door and window being open.
She swore positively that she did not call
to Mrs. Hull from the first floor. She also
contradicted Mrs. Hull, who had testified
that she did not look over the ballustrade.
She said that she, and not Mrs. Hull, sug
gested that Dr". Marcy be called. She
knew of no one who held any animosity
toward Burdlck.
