Four prisoners, confined on se rious charge In the Umatilla County Jail, escaped today by digging their way through the three-foot thick east wall and taking a 15-foot drop to the ground out of a small hole five feet above the floor of the jail corridor. It is evident that the men were at work on their outlet unsuspected for some time. As the brick were removed they were carried to an upper corridor room formerly used as women's quar ter, but now only a bath room, where th brick were accreted.

(3 I'M uroe nmra POLITICAL BEE IS BUSY CANDIDATES ARE GROOMING FOR RACE IN PENDLETON. Dotes Aspirant Are Expected t Be In Ring for Mayoralty and Conncibnanic Jobs Soon. PENDLETON. Or.. Aug. 24. (Spe cial.) Although election is four months distant, the political pot in Pendleton is beginning to simmer and the buzz of the political bee is plainly audible. Already a number of candi dates for the several city offices are announced and still others are being groomed for early entry in the ring, with as many owners ready to shed their coats and do battle for the mayoralty and councilmanic vacancies. Four councilmen and a successor to Mayor John D. Dyer are to be elected, the first Monday in December. Coun cilman D. D. Phelps, who ha moved from the ward he was elected to repre sent, also may resign and this will create a fifth councilmanic vacancy. Among the names most prominently mentioned just now, for Mayor are those of Dr. James A. Best, a mem ber of the Board of Water Commis sioners; Charles A. Cole, whose term as councilman expires; Joseph A. Blakely, ex-sheriff of Umatilla County, and ex Judge James A. Fee, who has previ ously served as the city's chief execu tive. It is probable that there will again be presented to the voters a charter amendment providing for commission government. This amendment has twice been defeated in Pendleton, once by a slight majority and once decisively. Its defeat before was ac complished largely through the per sistent water board fight, but the water fight has now been settled and the commission government proponents are ready to take up the cudgels again for their measure.

Reversal of Interstate Commerce Commission Would Mean Re adjustment of All Trans continental Tariffs. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 17. The recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission In the Pacific Coast Back-haul case, wherein the commission enumerated the Western ports entitled to terminal rates, is being assailed in the Federal Court at San Francisco. -The cities of Sacramento. Stockton, San Joso and Santa Clara have joined in an appeal to the courts for modification of the Commission's ruling. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion held that these cities not being terminals, in the true sense of the term. In that ocean carriers do not deliver freight at those points, were not entitled to terminal rates, but could be charged transcontinental rates made by adding to terminal rates not more than 75 per cent of the local rates from San Francisco to each of the respective points. While the case now being argued at San Francisco affects only the four cities which have appealed, the deci sion of the case will have widespread effect. If these interior cities are held by the courts to be entitled to terminal rates, then numerous other points In Oregon. Washington. California. Idaho, Montana and other mountain and inter mountain states will be Justified In asking for lower rates than have been accorded them by the commission. General Change Involved. This case has been declared to In volve the entire transcontinental rate structure. Should the decision of the commission be reversed, a general re adjustment of all rates to the Pacific Coast from Denver, Ogden. Omaha, Chi cago and points east would necessarily follow. In a way this contest is the result of the opening of the Panama Canal, affording actual and substantial water competition in coast-to-coast trade. It follows the enactment of the Panama Canal act which subjects ocean car riers, via the canal, to the Jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission if they participate in a Joint rail and water rate. For many years the water carriers absorbed the inland local rates from San Francisco and other Pacific Coast points to certain inland cities. The rail carriers, to meet that competition, gave several hundred cities in the Coast states the same rates as applied to San Francisco. Portland and Seattle. When the canal act went into effect, the ocean carriers, not wishing to be come subject to the Interstate com merce act. discontinued the practice of absorbing the inland locals. Terminal Porta Named. It waa then that the rail carriers filed application with the commission for permission to charge less to Pa cific Coast points than to intermediate points. The Commission passed upon these applications In its decision in the back-haul cases and it then decided that terminal rates should be allowed only to Portland and Astoria in Oregon; to Seattle. Tacoma, Vancouver, Belling ham, Everett, South Belllngham, Aber deen. Hoquiam and Cosmopolis. Wash., and to seven ports In California. The commission, in effect, held that only those places situated on tidewater at which ocean carriers docked and de livered and received freight directly, ware properly ' terminal points. This cut out several hundred Interior cities and towns that had previously enjoyed terminal rates, and fixed the rates for those points at the total of the rate to the nearest terminal, plus 75 per cent of the local rates from the terminal to the interior points. Former Governor Joseph W. Folk, chief counsel for the Interstate Com merce Commission, is in San Francisco to represent the commission in the hearing before the Federal Court. LEMON PIE DENOUNCED William Allen While Says Pastry Has "So Justification. EMPORIA, Kan., Aug. 20. William Allen White, who stirred all Kansas to the grass roots by denouncing fruit salad, now demands that lemon pie be eliminated. He says: "Lemon pie is one form of food which has no justification. It does not cheer nor inebriate; it furnishes neither nu triment nor digestive assistance. It has not enou.gh acid to produce a well defined tummy ache nor starch enough to produce Indigestion. The person who discovered lemon pie turned into a culinary blind alley, from which there is no escape. "The miserable pie casts a blight upon cookery, puts a blot on the es cutcheon of pie industry and. because . It is introduced into bills of fare of misguided households, it descends from sire to son and from mother to daugh ter, shedding its baneful influence upon generation after generation. The same goes for lemon cream pie, lemon meringue, lemon cocoanut pie and lem on custard pie. They are all no good is our verdict." GOOD WILL SET AT $5000 Plaintiff Asks Sum for Kaeh Said to Have Heard Charges. OAKLAND, Cal., Aug. 20. For each witness alleged to have been heard defamatory words spoken about him by John A. Jurgensen, James A. An derson has sued for $5000 for defa mation of character. He says there were three witnesses. On January 15. says Anderson, Jurgensen said: "An derson has systematically robbed me," before Charles Joseph. Anderson asks for $5000 for his fall in Joseph's esti mation. says Anderson. This is also a $5000 mat ter. On r eDruary jurgensen is ttiiencu to have said the same to Jacob Pan toskey, whose good will is also esti mated "at $5000. Farmers to Buy Schoolhouse.
