Secre tary of State of California, in a unanl mous report of the Joint legislative committee which investigated the pay mcnt of fees Into his department. The committee reported this morning and recommends that the case be put In the hands of the Attorney-General. The collection of money for copies of automobile registrations furnished to v Insurance companies and others during the time Jordan has been at the head of the department is the basis of the - finding against him. Imsuarity Folate Oat. According to the report, the invest! patlon brought out the fact ht&t at least 17700 was collected In this manner during the If months of Jordan's in cumbency. and thai none of It was turned into the state treasury, where It should properly have gone. The committee report declares that ' Mrs. Anita A. Brewer, stenographer In Secretary Jordan's office, sold carbon copies of dally reports she made on behalf of the Secretary of State to th State Controller, and that the practice was carried on "with the knowledge and consent of Frank C. Jordan, who, in some instances, solicited certain per sons or corporations to purchase said reports." The information furnished In this way. the report says, was valuable to those who were willing to pay for it, only when obtained on the day that the applications for motor licenses were filed, and it is charged that the orlg inal records were taken by Mrs. Brewer into the private office of Secretary Jordan on the day that they were filed, in order that the public might not see litem. Jordan's Son Involved. Similar conditions obtained In the branch office of the registration bu- reau in Los Angeles, conducted by Jor dan's son. Frank M. Jordan, where ap proximately szioo was collected in a similar manner, according to the report. No action was taken on the report In either house. It was ordered printed in the journals of the Senate and the Assembly and will be considered tomor. row. Late todav the Board of Control which also made an Investigation into j tne atiairs of Secretary Jordan's office, will report Its findings to the Governor. After reading the report of the legisla tive committee. Secretary Jordan said: uy menas may rest assured that I will be ready to meet any legal steps mm may De iaicen in mis matter, and I do not fear the outcome. The testi mony does not warrant the conclusions of the committee, and statements made in tne report are not warranted by th. records. con Short Line owns 112.134,200 in pre ferred and S7.206.400 in common stock of the Baltimore & Ohio: that the Union Pacific owns S10.343.100 of Chi cago Sc. Alton stock and 322,600.000 of Illinois Central stock and that tne Oregon Short Line owns 317,857,100 of New Tork central stock. Inasmuch as the relationship between the Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and O.-W. R. & N. Company is af fected only through stock ownerships, he contended, the ownership of stock in these Eastern roads would make pos sible a closed through route from the Atlantic to the Pacific. At a brief session last night S. V. Carey. Assistant Attorney-General for the State of Washington, introduced witnesses to show that the lumber In terests of that state are vitally affected by closing the Spokane and Silver Bow gateways. Before the session closed Clyde B Altchlson. State Railroad Commissioner for Oregon, said, as a matter of rec ord. that the Oregon Commission Is opposed to the closing on the theory that it wants all through routes to remain open. He said that he spoke In like effect on authority for the Washington Public Service Commission. SHIPPERS DEMAND CHOICE (Continued From First Pate.) association want competition eliminated in that way," replied Mr. Donaldson. Mr. Scandrett inquired at length re garding the history and purposes of tne Lumbermen's Association and Mr. Donaldson told him that one purpose was to co-operate in securing redress -in matters like this." "Have you any other purpose than to harrass the railroads?" Mr. Scandrett asaea. "I don't like the term 'harrass.' " re plied the witness. "We intend, though, at all times to defend ourselves from railroad encroachment." "Well, is your object then to elim inate competition?" "Not that I know of." It Isn't to Increase competition. IB It I "I hope not." "There are two reasons, then, for con testing this case," suggested Mr. Scand rett, "the matter of service and the mar ket for car material." "There is the further reason of want. ing through rates. We think every av&uaoie reaa-t tween two given points should be left open to the ship per." Importance of Industry Given. To show the Importance of the lum ber Industry In the Northwest, Joseph N. Teal, attorney for the Protestants, asked Mr. Donaldson to state the annual production of lumbet in Oregon and Washington, which the witness said Is 4.000.000,000 feet, or 160.000 cars. Of this aggregate, approximately 120,000 cars move by rail. Eighty per cent of Oregon's tonnage, he said, consists of forest products. Fully 84,000 people of the state are employed in the lum ber industry. , J. II. Lothrop. traffic manager for the Portland Chamber of Commerce, said tnat his organization objects to the gateway order on the grounds that It wants all possible competitive routes to remain open to shippers. He said that some of the Colorado roads are contemplating cancelling the through rates to and from the Northwest it the Commission allows the gateways -to close, but would not give the authority for his statement. J. C. Robinson, traffic manager for the Northwest Fruit Exchange, ex plained that fruit must have a wide range of market and that by closing the Denver gateway the fruit industry of the Northwest will be deprived of a market at many points east of that city. He said that It Is essential to the fruit industry that through rates be contin ued In effect so that "tramp" cars may be allowed to move from point to point until their contents are sold. All the witnesses said that the roads east of the Missouri River will be unwilling tq furnish cars for the North west unless they get the long haul. This condition, they declared, will bring about car shortages. W. H. Garrett, of Omaha, assistant general freight agent for the Union Pacific, testified yesterday morning, giving as the reason for closing Che Denver gateway the belief of the Har rlman officials that they are entitled to the long haul on all business which they originate or for which they fur nish the market. He said that superior service can be rendered the shippers If they are not required to Interchange cars at points intermediate their termini. For the purpose of showing that if :he Harrlman lines are justified In clos ,ng the gateways at Denver and other points they also, would be justified In closing them at Council Bluffs and Kansas City, Mr. Teal read Into the record, from the Union Pacific annual reports, the statements that the Ore- FESTIVAL FUND GROWS CONTRIBUTION'S AMOUNT 180 IX THREE DAYS.

PUBLIC LANDS NOT AVAILABLE 10 POOR Borah Finds Little Chance of Relieving Congestion ' of Large Cities. HARDSHIPS ARE MUTUAL Persons on Public Domain Suffer Almost Equally With Those Who Are Chafing In Overcrowded Centers of Population. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 10. The administration of the public land laws Is scathingly ar raigned in a letter written by Sena tor Borah, of Idaho, to Samuel Fried man, -chairman of the American Anti Congestion League of New York City. Knowing the Senator's interest in de veloping the West." Mr. Friedman wrote him asking his co-operation in the work of the league in diverting to western lands thousands of people now crowded into the large and con gested cities of the East. The Senator, in reply, assures Mr. Friedman that it is useless to take up his plan until such time as the theoretical conservation ists untie the . resources of the West and provide some place and means for the settler to make a nome. 'His letter Is as follows: "I am in receipt of your letter In which you describe the condition of the congested districts In New York City and ask- for assistance to send these people into the states that they may aid in 'developing the large tracts 6f uncultivated lunds.' I certainly sympathize with these poor people. I have seen enough of their condition' to know how miserable It is. I am more than willing to give any aid I can in a practical way to relieve tne situa tion. Poor People's Chances Small. "But In dealing with so serious matter we ought to be practical as well as sympathetic. I doubt very much whether, under present condi tions, it would be wise to send these poor people into the West to aid in de veloping the large tracts of unculti vated lands. ' The situation In which we find our selves in the West at the present time does not justify us in transporting poor people to public lands. It re quires, under the present administra tion of public land laws, men of wealth to get a home on the public domain. I do not desire you to understand that I am writing this letter in a spirit of captious levity, but New York City and other Eastern cities are greatly 'con gested' with a class of people who have been actively engaged in tying up the public lands of the West for the last 10 years. Thousands and thousands of acres of agricultural lands are in the reserves, and as a practical proposition are not open to settlement. vv hile the law technically permits settlement, the operation and adminis tration of the law is such as wholly to discourage people from the attempt. It nas come to be that every man who undertakes to acquire a piece of pub lic land is looked on with suspicion. Impeded and embarrassed by procrasti nation, technical objections and strained construction of the law. Hun dreds of settlers on our public domain are enduring hardships almost equal to those of your own people, and for the sole reason that the Government of the United States, instead of aiding and assisting the bona fide settler, throws about him almost every con ceivable embarrassment. People Driven to Canada. My files are full of letters from homesteaders who are at a loss to know how they shall ever be able to acquire title and stand out against this delay and constant embarrassment. "Statistics show that at least 100,000 of our people are going into Canada every year for no reason, in my judg ment, other than the manner in which our public land laws are administered. It may be that we are approaching a change. It may be that the -East, in her congested condition, will see the common sense and common justice of opening up the public lands to every bona fide settler, every man who goes there in good faith to acquire and make a home, and to aid him Instead of retard him in his effort. If the new era is at hand, then I can say to you that you can flndJiomes for thousands of your people upon lands which will make most desirable farms and upon which families may be reared with accompanying prosperity and happiness. But before you send your friends West, out of mercy to them I suggest that you join with some of us In an effort to stop this ever lasting hounding of people who are in gooa raim trying to seme up me uuw worthless lands of the West. i-im )fihf4'i- flu tejVi MmSttil iff f f -life HiiiAfii' ?rl ( t V V SM 1 Wit V r if lMkf- I - i I: i ' i "i :.J. vCV .y'l, ; ,'00 'V' V Featuring Newest Apparel For Ladies and Misses' OUR ladies' shop specializes in fine suits, coats and dresses made by men tailors.
