The commerce commission took the caf-e under advisement after the Salt lake hearins and has not handed down its decision. The rehearing. Seattle men interested in the case say, may give the Facific coast cities ODnortunity to strengthen their posl tiou in opposition to any change in rail rates to their disadvantage. Tho basis of the case, which has een widely discussed in western newspapers, was a campaign made by commercial bodies of the inter mountain cities for a revision of trans-continental freight rates to give the inter-mountain cities a lower rate than is now enjoyed by the I'acific seaboard cities. I'acific seaboard cities protested against the change on the ground that ocean carriers ire in competition with the railroads for the business of the I'acific coast seaports, and that the coast cities are therefore entitled to these present rates. PclHIons Protested. The whole structure of trans-contl rental rail rates, the coast ctties con tended, is based on competition be tween rail and water carriers, an they protested against consideration of the petitions of the intermountai cities durinsr government control the railroads, arguing that the mat ter properly should be left for th railroads .to consider after resump tinn of private control. To make a readjustment durin government control, they contended would disturb traffic conditions un necessarily.

Twenty-four convictions obtained before the 1900 anti-profiteering tribunals set up throughout England have cost more than 1000 each, it was declared by Captain Wedgwood Benn in the house of com mons during discussion of a proposal to extend the profiteering act for another period ot six months. Captain Benn summarized the re sults of the act. during- Its first six months of life, by stating: "Nineteen hundred committees have been appointed; -1935 cases have been heard one case per committee: 2i convictions have been obtained; 25, 000 has been spent. And the cost of living has gone up." Supporters of the bill argued that six months had not given the ad ministrators of the law fair oppor tunity of demonstrating .ts worth". The proposed extension of six months was voted. Teachings of the Apostolic Faith mission wrecked the borne of Frank M. Chance, is the allegation in a J23.000 suit filed in the circuit court yesterday against the mission chare ngr aleniation t1 the affections of Mrs. Edith H. Chance. Doctrines of the cult instilled the belief in Mrs. Chance, a devotee, that it was wrong for her to live with a husband who was an unbeliever, causing her to desert her husband more than a year ago after more than 20 years of happy married life, it is asserted. The suit is very similar to an action filed against Florence Crawford, bet ter known as "Mother" Crawford, and her son, Raymond Crawford, "co partners under the firm name of 'The Apostolic Faith Mission,'" by Luke Thornton on November 3, 1919, except that the THorton action alleged theft of the affections of a beloved daugh ter. The case was dismissed by Pre siding Circuit Judpe McCotirt, who sustained a demurrer last January on the ground that the girl was of age and was a free agent. In the action 'filed yesterday by At torneys Leroy Lomax and B. W. Tay lor, it is contended that the mission was founded "for the sole purpose of pecuniary benefit to the Crawfords." and that "wrongful, wilful, pernicious and superstitious doctrines and prac- cites" were taught to draw members into the society, where the Crawfords might acquire undue influence over the members, for the purpose of ob taining from followers money, prop erty and services." Doctrines Declared Harmful. Doctrines espoused are alleged which are harmful in that they taught that Mrs. Crawford was possessed of supernatural power, by means of which she could dispense eternal sal vation or damnation to faithful or disbelievers, as well as heal the sick. She taught, it is alleged, that her fol lowers must obey her commands in all worldly matters, particularly in the treatment of unbelievers and their families, inducing Mrs. Chance to be lieve that it was wrong for her to raise children and love a man who was not a follower of the faith. Chance insists that his wife was made to think that he was unclean, unholy and possessed of the devil, so that, after 18 months of waning af fection, her mind was so thoroughly poisoned that she left him in Febru ary. 1919. Mr. and Mrs. Chance were married December 25, 1898, and !iave two chil dren. Beryl, aged 20, and Delbert, aged 14. Mrs. Chance embraced the teach ings of the Apostolic faith mission in May, 1914. it is said.

Toledo Hold Election. CENTRALIA, Wash., March 6. (Speqlal.

Thousands of port able "knocked-down" houses and parages manu factured in Oregon are distributed throughout the west. Our ready-cut houses, too, have found their way to most of the western states and even to the Philippine islands. ALTHOUGH UNTIL RECENTLY HANDI CAPPED b government lumber restriction, four pioneer plants of this new industry employ 200 men and distribute an annual payroll of $;it'0, 000. This payroll is guaranteed an immediate substantial increase. THE ALADDIN COMPANY, the world's larg est builders of ready-cut houses, have taken advantage of Oregon's unmense lumber supply, and established their western offices and mills in , Portland. The local plant already supplies window frames, doors and casings for eastern plants of the company. Within the year the Portland branch will be equipped and manufacturing com plete "Readi-eut" buildings. THE PRACTICALITY OF THIS INDUSTRY insures its permanency. Large production in systematized factories curtails lumber waste. Power-driven machinery does better work at a lower cost than hand labor. Complete material for each building is consigned in one' shipment, thereby the usual building delays are eliminated for the purchaser. DWELLING SHORTAGE throughout America and Europe will create the greatest building activities the world has ever known. To meet this demand our factory-cut building industry must multiply production from year to year. Thus Oregon is assured another substantial addition to her existing industries and a great outlet for her lumber supply. THE NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL BANK PORTLAND. OREGON.
