GHEHALIS TO COMPLAIN
JOINT KATE TO BE DEMAXDED
OF RAILROADS. '
Transcontinental Lines Charged
With Retarding Cowllts Territory
by Ignoring Road.
CHEHALIS. Wash.. May 10. (Spe
cial-) Complaint against the Northern
Pacific, the - Great Itorthern and the
W. R. & N. companies soon will be
made by Chehalls citizens to compel
the roads to enter Into a Joint rate
greement with the Chehalls & Cowllts
line. The action will be planned by
the Cltisena' Club. The Chehalls A
Cowllts is the local railroad line that
was started here about three years
go, when business men of this city
subscribed about 890.000 In bonds to
begin work on the line. It is now
operated 10 miles out of here under
the management of the Washington
Electric Company. That development
of the country south and east of Che
hallsls being retarded as a result of
the refusal of the three transcontlnen
tal roads mentioned to make allowances
to the Chehalls & Cowllts will b
charged In the complaint that will be
presented to the Public Service Com
mission of Washington.
Local shippers on the Chehalls
Cowlitz now must pay the local rate
charged by the company Into Chehalls,
then the main line rate to other points.
Inasmuch as In other localities in
Washington and elsewhere where there
are tap lines the local rate is absorhe
by a joint rate agreement. Chehalls
citizens feel that the local line here is
Justly entitled to the same consldera
uoiu
It Is proposed that If the Public
Service Commission directs the instal
lation of the Joint rates requested,
further complaint will be presented to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
asking that the same kind of on order
be made on Interstate business.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
tngton. May 10. As he was leaving to
night for Chicago to attend the Repub
11 can "get-together" conference, Sena
tor Borah, of Idaho, said: "I think
everyone realises that a great many
mistakes were made at Chicago last
year and that something must be done
to remedy the situation, unose e-
nubllcans. therefore. In favor of
changing the plan of Southern repre
sentation and in favor of recognizing
all primary-elected delegations and In
favor of writing a progressive platrorm
and nominating progressive candidates
In 116 are beginning to hold council,
and we hope to make a start in the
right direction at the coming conference."
Senator Jones, of. Washington, in
tended going to Chicago to participate
in the Republican conference, as he is
In entire harmony with the plan of re
organisation, but he found at the last
minute he must remain In Washington.
Senator Jones said that inasmuch as
there was little difference In the
principle between the two wings of
the Republican party, there should be
no serious obstacle in the way of get
ting together, and he predicted- that
when tho party did come together it
would be under the leadership of Re
publicans who were progressive In
their beliefs and that the old leaders
would be relegated to the ranks.

Young Swiss Grapples Man Using

Times by Confederate and
Relieved of Money.
Faced by a robber with two revolvers,
Charles Waltle, 25 years old, a land
scape gardener employed In Rlvervlew
Cemetery and living on Carson Heights,
last night decided to "take a chance,'1
as he expressed it, In a lonely spot 200
feet west of the end of the Fulton car
line. As a result he Is lying in SL Vin
cent's Hospital with Ave stab wounds
In his head, neck and arms, inflicted by
a second holdup man, who leaped upon
him from behind with a pocket knife.
Waltle, who Is a Swiss and had passed
the evening at Swiss. Hall, alighted
from a Fulton car and started to climb
the hill to his home about 10 o'clock.
From a dark spot a man stepped and
pointed two revolvers at him ' with
orders to hold up his hands. Waltle
grappled, and the robber's companion,
coming from behind, grasped Waltle by
the throat and stabbed repeatedly at
head, neck and shoulders. Placing his
knee in Waltie's back, he threw him
to the ground and took $2 from his
pocket Waltle regained his footing
and tried to grapple again with his as
eallant. The gun man took no part in

smashed it over his head. Both men
then broke and ran, and Waltle, hurry
ing to the nearest store, telephoned for
the police. -
Police Captain Riley and Patrolman
Holland, in the police touring car, has
tened to the scene, verified Waltie's
story, and a squad of police was sent
through the district to look for the
hold-up men. Waltle received emerg
ency treatment from City Physician

Republicans May Rally Enough
Democratic Support to Inter
rupt Programme -Some In
dustries Ask for Delay.
WASHINGTON, May 10. Chairman
Simmons, of the Senate finance com
mittee, sees merit in an amendment to
the tariff bill, suggested today by As
sistant Attorney-General Denlson and
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Curtis, to authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury to proclaim valuations on lm
ports. It is asserted that would pre
vent undervaluations and avoid con'
fusion resulting from fluctuating for
eign market value and ad valorem
rates.
'The bill as It is,' Chairman Simmons
said, "has many safeguards against un
del-valuations, but the proposal to em
power-the Secretary of the Treasury to
fix import values In the American mar
ket would be an additional check. It
would answer the principal objection
advanced against an ad valorem tariff
system. The suggestion will receive
the most serious consideration."
Underwood Is Consulted.
The plan will be taken up by the
committee next week. Chairman Un
derwood, of the ways and means com
mittee, also was consulted by Mr. JJeni-
son and Mr. Curtis.
Chief interest In the tariff now lies In
the contest over the question of public
hearings, precipitated by Senator Pen
rose. There Is a possibility the Repub
licans may rally enough Democratic
support to their plan to defeat the ma
jority party In its tariff programme at
this Juncture. Such a development un
doubtedly would result in slowing up
consideration of the measure in the
Senate. That Is the Democratic chief
objection to public hearings. They feel
that hearings would not result in m-
terlal alterations of the bill, and that
the country Is entitled to the new law
as soon as It possibly can De made
ready for the statute books.
Lonlslanans Favor Hearings.
Senators Ransdell and Thornton, of
Louisiana, are openly in favor of the
hearings. Senator Martine and others
have expressed themselves favorably to
them, but the Democratic leaders as
sert that they will have enough votes
to defeat the Penrose amendment when
it comes up Tuesday. The bill then will
be formally- referred to the finance
committee.
Secretary Redfleld today suggested to
Chairman Simmons that tne committee
consider the advisability of changing
the date that some of the schedules be
come eirective. una textile inuustry is
particularly desirous of gaining a little
time to adjust ltsen to ine new con
dltlons and to get rid of valuable ma
terial on which high duties have been
Dald.
Another suggestion made Dy feecre-
tary Redfield referred to the advisa
bilitv of having tne income tax com
nuted from July 1. 1913, instead of
January 1. 1813.
