POTATO CROP IS IMMENSE Transportation Companies Making Extensive Preparations to Handle Business Promptly Expect to Have Better Facilities. CHICAGO. July 20. (Special.) The Western railroads are facing the problem of assembling thousands of cars at vari ous points during the next 30 days for the purpose of transporting the crops to mar ket. Nearly every big railway system has received detailed reports from its agents In every part of the West, Northwest and Southwest regarding crop conditions. probable yield and the prospect for fu ture business. From these statements es timates are made of the number of cars which will be needed to take care of the various crop movements along the' line of each road. The agents are required to give some estimate of the time when the different crops will begin to move and how great the early movement- will be. This is done so that the railroads may avoid, if possible, taking cars out of other service and rushing them to the West, there to remain idle for days await ing loads. Early Movement Heavy. It is believed from the reports received thus far that the early crop movement this year will be heavy and therefore an unusually large number of cars will have to be assembled. Some idea of the task that confronts the railroads can be gath ered from the Northwestem's -report of the situation. On a new line of that com pany in the West there will be needed 100 boxcars alone to transport a potato crop which will be shipped from three new towns. Officials of the Northwestern insist that their road will be in better shape to han dle this year's crop than It was last year's. A great amount of new equipment has been added and business in other di rections promises to be less imperative than last year. The company is also mak ing an effort to have a larger percentage of its own cars upon its rails this year. With this purpose in view, fewer North western cars will be loaded to go off their own rails. Will Be Banner Year. Burlington officials stated that they have Just now. a surplus of boxcars and are accordingly assembling many cars to take care of their share of the Nebraska crop. They expect the wheat to begin to move between July 25 and August 1. and declare that before the first date arrives they will be In good shape to handle all that will be offered. It is probable that a conference of traffic officials will be held soon to talk over the crop movement and to make plans for co-operation of Western roads with respect to promnt handling of for eign cars and their prompt return to the home lines. The railroads desire to make this a record year for prompt and expeditious handling of the Western crop. WANT COMMERCE ACT CHANGED Railroads Say Shippers Pro'it by Damages They Pay. NEW YORK, July 20. (Special.) Several of the most Influential rail road -nen of the East have started a movement to secure the amendment of the interstate commerce act provision requiring the payment of damages to shippers for the imposition of freight rates declared excessive by the Com mission and the courts. This change they ask on the well established ground that the shippers raise prices at least correspondingly, and never suf fer. The agitation was started as a re sult of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in what Is knon as the Yellow Pine case, under which the railroads of the ' South, notably the Illinois Central and the Louisville & Nashville, are liable to the shippers of yellow pine for between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 damages. Now it appears that the loss occas ioned or the damage endured by the attempt of the railroads to charge a rate which the courts held to-be ex cessive, was suffered not by the ship pers, but by the consumers of yellow pine lumber. The absurdity of the situation and Us Injustice to the railroads is said to be apparent, when it Is stated that, despite the fact that the shippers of vellow pine made an estimated total of between $6,000,000 and $8,000,000 by the attempt the railroads made to in trease the rates, and that the con sumers suffered to that extent, the law says that the shipper is-entitled to re cover that difference between the pro posed rate and that which the courts declare to be Just and legal. Commerce Commission to be allowed to make a reduction in its rate In order to get the co-operation of dealers in ship ping the fuel now, when the railroads are in good shape to handle it promptly. RIOT IN SAN FRANCISCO Streetcar Attacked, Building Badly Wrecked, Many Injured. SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. As a re sult of an attack upon the strike breaking crew of a car late tonight, two men were shot and wounded, three persons were injured in the wrecking of a building by a runaway car, many others were severely clubbed, by the police, and more than a score of ar rests made for rioting. When a car of the United Railroads, in charge of J. Taltskong and Morris Fellel, motorman, reached the end of its run on top of the hill at Twenty ninth and Noe streets, about 9:30 o'clock, and the crew was Just starting: on the return trip, three unknown men- standing in the darkness about 15 yards away opened fire on the car with revolvers. Mr. Taltskong had Justl raised nis left arm to signal the mo torman to go ahead when a bullet smashed his elbow. Almost at the same moment Mr. fellel dropped to the floor of the car with a bullet In his right thigh. Another car was coming tip the hill at the time and, upon arriving at the top, the ciew left it standing and took the car with the wounded men with all possible speed to the car barns at Twenty-ninth and Mission streets. As they turned the corner at that point, they saw their car coming down the hill at a terrific rats of speed. Arriving at the turn, the runaway car Jumped the track and plunged into a small toggery store owned by II. Bernstein, completely wrecking the building. Sophie Bernstein, a daughter of the proprietor, Ralph D. Hoff. wife and child and customers were painfully cut and bruised by breaking glass and falling timbers. An immense crowd immediately gath ered and a fire alarm and riot calls were turned in. The police reserves charged the crowd, which had become turbulent, and used their clubs freely. Many heads were cracked and 20 arrests were made for rioting. Police Sergeant Lane was struck In the back of the head by a stone and seriously hurt. He fired three shots at two men, one of whom, he charged, threw the missile. The two wounded men were taken to St. Luke's Hospital. Their injuries are not dangerous. It is supposed that the men who at tacked the crew released the brake on the car and started It down the hill. HARRIMAN LOWERS COAL RATE Makes 25 Per Cent Reduction Into Northwest States. NEW YORK. July 20. To stimulate the purchase of coal during the Summer months when the greatest number of cars for this purpose are available, the Inter state Commerce Commission, at the re quest of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Oregon Short Line, have especially authorized a reduction of 25 cents a ton on coal shipped to Washington, Idaho and Nevada between July 19 and September 1. For the last two months officials of the Harrlman lines have been endeavoring to Induce western coal dealers to make their shipments this Summer in order to avoid a recurrence of last Winter's fuel scarc ity. The difficulty then in supplying coal to the Western Btates grew partly out of shortage of equipment and partly from the fact that orders were delayed until weather conditions made freight move ment slow and difficult. The Union Pacific, therefore, took the unusual step of applying to the Interstate MORE HELP AT P0ST0FFICE Shipley's Salary Raised and More Assistants Allowed. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 20. On recommendation of Senator Bourne, the Postofflce Depart ment today authorized an Increase in the salary of Assistant Postmaster Shipley ot Portland from $1900 to $2500, to be ef fective July 1, 11X17. The Senator strongly urged the De partment to create the offices of as sistant superintendents of delivery, reg istry, malls and money orders, bnt funds are well-nigh exhausted, and this request cannot be granted at the present time, but the Department Is willing, by re quest of Postmaster Minto, to designate four clerks at $1200 salary or higher to act as assistants to the various superin tendents until such new offices can be created. Postmaster Minto was much gratified last night to hear of the advance in the salary of his assistant, Mr. Shipley, and of the changes made in the other departments. He had asked the Depart ment for the appointment of assistants to the superintendents of delivery, reg istry, mails and money orders, and still hopes that these may soon be allowed. In the meantime it will greatly facili tate the work of the office to have the four clerks appointed to act as assistant superintendents. The grpat Increase of business in the office has crowded the heads of the various departments for some time. Mr. Minto believes that ex tra clerical help will be allowed to take the place of those made acting superin tendents, but will not be certain of thir point until he receives advices from the Department.
