TELEGRAPH FIELD
New Company to Profit by the
Troubles of the Western
Union and Postal.
STARTED BY CHICAGO MAN
I'se Telephone Wires at Firs and
Build Thousands of Miles to
Extend the Service "After
X'ext January. -
CHICAGO. Sept.' ' 7. tSpe.-ial.i Word
was received by the officials of the strik
ing Telegraphers' Cnlon today that a new
telegraph, company was being formed to
compete with the Western Union and the
Postal. The new ' company Is said to
have been In the process of formation
nearly a month. While Its inception is
declared to have had no bearing on the
strike, the fact that the two big com
panies are 1n trouble Is said to have
added impetus to its growth.
I K. Davis.-president, of the Rock Is
land Construction Company wfth general
offices In the First National Bank build
ing, is promoting the company.- The name
adopted is the American Unioii Telegraph
Company, and its' promoter declares that
within 90 days It will be prepared to do
a local business. Mr. Davis also says
that by January 1 the company will be
gin building and leasing its own wires for
business, between Milwaukee. St. Ijouls
and other large cities naar Chicago.
Who are; back of the new fopjpany. Mr.
Divis will 'not say.; fctit intimales- that

asserted that $300,000 of the $.r,0n0.000 stock
ulready has been subscribed. - 'i he capital

MAY CLEAR ROPER MURDER
II A R H V - A TTp EXPECTED . TO
TI RX STATE'S EYIDEXCK.
Betrayed by Woman With Wliom He
Lived Dell s Trial Will Be
Called Monday.
BELLIN'GHAM. Wash., Sept. 7. (Spe
cial. ) Harry Watts, betrayed by the
woman with whom he lived and with
whom he had planned to escape, is now
In the Whatcom County Jail charged
with murder in the first degree for the
slaying of A'ddie Roper, at Blaine, Jan
uary 19. Doane Dell is also held for
the same crime and it is believed that
Watts will escape by turning state's
evidence.
Sheriff Williams obtained informa
tion that Watts and Rae Brown, a
woman of the under world, were liv
ing together at Anacortes. He next
heard that the woman had told a friend
that Watts had been talking: about the
murder. Officers arrested the pair on
the dock just as they were about to
board the boat.
Since her arrest the woman has done
little but cry. That she has made a
confession of Watts' complicity ig the
murder Is .almost certain, but the
authorities refuse to affirm or deny
this and they will allow no on to' tajk
with her.
Watts was seen by a woman running
away from the Uoper house on the
night of the murder. On this testimony
he was held and given a preliminary
hearing. He was dismissed on the
ground of insufficient evidence. Dell,
his alleged accomplice In the crime,
was held. The handkerchef which
was found stuffed into the girl's mouth,
was at first thought to have belonged
to Watts, but since it has been, found
that it is impossible to estsblish the
ownership of the handkerchief.
More than 100 witnesses have been
summoned-for the trial of Dell, which
begins Monday morning In the Superior
Court.
various factions are-so far' apart as to
make an agreement possible no one on
the inside seems to know. , -. s
The essence of the whole situation is
about as follows: Protesting bond
holders won' their point, bnt must tiow
either work out a solution in connec
tion with- the Interests with' jvhich
they have not been friendly or- take
chances on getting what they ca"n out
of the jumble; They have one week in
which to reach some sort of an agree
ment or to decide to travel the cotirse
alone. They may unite with 'other
I'nion Traction interests and petition
the City Council for further grace 'and
thus .secure enoush time to Complete
a new scheme of organization. 1
Failing to do any of these-- hings,
they will face the contingency of see
ing the Chicago City Railway tympany
pushing Into the North and West Sides,
displacing their tracks where .the
franchises have lapsed or paralleling
neighboring streets. I'nder the, ordi
nance already accepted by tlie City
Railway Company, the South" Hde
corporation ' contracts to extend ', its
lines to the North and West Shi" In
case thiv city and the I'nion fraction
Company or its successor fail to. come
to terms. Thus, while the protesting
bondholders of the Union Traction
Company scored a legal victory before
the. United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals, they found thoniselves tonight
in about as fferlous a predicament, if
some of the attorneys are to be be
lieved, as they ever-have been, i -
The city. . too. is Interested ln: an
early finality to the traction .mix-up,
and this adds to the perplexity of the
situation so far ast the Union Traction
people are concerned. - s
The court's decision was, in brief,
that bondholders of the North and
West Side systems, owning about
$13,000,000 of outstanding- securities,
have -a first Hen on the properties,
and that their -rights are prior, to any
other. It followed then that, when
Judge Grossciip ordered the proper tle
turned over to the Chicago Railways
Company and authorized a new (mort
gage of something llk $12,000,000 for
rehabilitation of the lines-, he was In
fringing upon these prior rights. ' Oil
this ground, the Appellate Court held
Judge Orosscup's order Ineffective.

TERSTATE COMMISSION.
TRACTION -MUDDLE AGAIN
Appeal Court's Decision Blocks CIiN
cago Scheme of Reorganization.
CHICAGO. Sept. 7. (Special.) -
Judge GroBscup's order of August 12,
by which It was designed to unify the
North and West Side car lines lr;to a
corporation known as the Chicago
Railways Company, thus virtually set
tling the venerable traction muddl,
was annulled by the United States Cir
cuit Court of Appeals today. Justice

United States, delivering the-opinion.
Judges Seaman and Baker concurring.
The effect of the higher-court's de
cision is to give the warring factions
within the old Union Traction Company
only until next Saturday to patch up
their differences and accept the ordi-
nance already, framed. 'Whether the
Association Savs Railroads , Reduce
Rates on Other Commodities at
Expense of Their Trade.; '
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 7. (Special.)
No complaint of greater scope has ever
been presented to the Interstate Com
merce Commission than one Just decid
ed on by the Western Fruit Jobbers'
Association, the executive committee
of which has Just, completed a two-day
session in- this city. The basis of the
complit-t.lt' that the rfctesl on
fruit ln!:Ycr-yr P-at of the Unlteji States,
from coast to coast and from Canada
to Mexico, are out of all proportion
to what Is paid for the transportation
of other commodities.
They have taken up as an Instance
the Icing of cars, and allege that the
charges for icing a car of meat half
way across the continent is $15. w'hll
for a car of fruit covering the sam
distance a charge of $) Is made, i
The association will at once put a
number ot experts to work searching
the points on which to base its formal
complaint, which It hopes to be able to
present within t"0 days. The associa
tion wl'l allege that the great corpora
tions, like the beef trust, have been ablq
to force rates down on other commodi
ties at the cost of the fruit business.

Railroad Company's Freight Agenf
Defends' Rates Complained Ot
Commissioners Aitchiscm. and Campbell
of the Oregon Railroad'Commlsslon. gave
a hearing yesterday fo the onlongrowers
of Washington .County oh the Southern
pacific, who complained regarding ; the
rates on ouions Crom Seaverton. 3fllls
boro. Reedvillq andJualatin to Fortiand.
The rates on Ibis commodity were raised
the first of the year by General Frolsht
Agent Miller.; of the Southern J Pavifii;
Oregon lines. Plie change. In the rate was
effected by making a class rate instead of
a commodity rate.
J. G. Thompson, an oniongrower' of
Tualatin, was a witness for the complain
ants, and R. B. Miller, general freight
agent, took the stand for the railroad.
He said this advance is reasonable for
the former rate was-far too low on this
class of business, but was made to meet
wagon competition. He quoted from the
tariffs of the company to show the onion
rate is .about , equal to. freight rates In
other districts where water competition
has to be met. ' ' S '
W. D. Kenton, attorney for the Southern
Pacific, appeared, for the carftpanyi nd
Oglesby Younc was the attorney1 for; the
onlongrowers. It was agreed that the
two attorneys should prepare briefs on
the subjoct and submit them to the (Jm
mission by. September 20, which would'; de
cide the case on that basis. . -' e '-
Coupled with the onion rate to Portland
is the complaint of the growers that 'the
Southern Pacific has raised the fertilizer
rate back to the onion fields from Port
land. This Increase has been from;$6 to
$9 a car.
