IS RECAPTURED W. Bauer Caught by Prison Guard Near Jefferson. SALEM, Or., May 15. (Special) F. W. Bauer, alias Fred Reisenghn, who escaped from the penitentiary brickyard Thursday, was captured at Jefferson late last night and returned' to . the prison today. Officer Hub bard captured theconvict as .he was walking along the Southern Pacific railroad tracks. Bauer was sent to the penitentiary from Linn county on September 2, 1916. to serve an indeterminate term of from two to five years for bur glary. Previously he was committed to the prison from Washington coun ty on -March' 2. 1909, following con viction on a charge of larceny, but escaped from the: Institution- in Au gust of . that year.

Furniture' company, was served with a warrant yesterday by Freight increases for which appli cations were recently filed by the railroads -with the interstate com merce commission at Washington will, if granted, work a particular hard ship- to the people of the Pacific coast, according 'to J. N. Teal, wjio has . just returned from a month's trip to Washington and other eastern points. Mr. Teal brought back word with him that the hearing on the ap plication of the railroads had been set- for May 24, and he also brought with "him what Is believed to be the first copy of the application for the rate increase seen In Portland. The railroads are asking freight in creases which, if granted, will mean an increase of approximately $1,000,- uoo.uoo a year in income, Mr. Teal said yesterday." ' The applications are listed under three classification! those affecting the initial or eastern roads, the southern roads and the roads west of Chicago, and it is prob able that the anolick tions will be taken up at the forthcoming, hearfhg in the order named, he said.. Study of Problem Urged Regardless of the question as to whether or jnot the increase is justi fied and even assuming that uch an increase in revenue is necessary for the roads, it behooves the people of the Pacific coast to study the matter of rate increases thoroughly, as such a percentage of increase as asked for will affect the far west "both coming and going" he said. Far western points, located much farther away on the average from both the point of origin of the vast quantity of goods brought here for consumption and from the point of marketing to which much of the goods produced here are shipped, suffer by a much greater freight increase under the application than do points in which only short distances are involved in the inter change of goods. "The increases in revenue, to the railroads may be necessary," said Mr. Teal, "but we should be sure that the increases are made in an equitable way and in a way that will disturb conditions the least. No increase on passenger service is asked, for in stance, and it might well be asked if freight should bear the entire burden of increased rates." Traffic Committee to Hear Talk. A meeting of the Portland traffic and transportation committee will probably be held during the coming week, at which time Mr. Teal will read extracts from the application and discuss the problem. The meeting will be open to the public. A deplorable feature of the situation is, in the opin ion of Mr. Teal, that the hearing at Washington has been set for such an early date that it is practically im possible for the proper investigation to be made and facts obtained -which would enable the sending of a rep reservation from the Pacific coast to Washington -for the hearing. A 'hearing on the intermediate rate case will be held at Spokane on Mon: day and another hearing on the case at San Francisco a weeK from Mon day.- This case is ai outgrowth of the old Spokane rate case, and be cause of these two sessions, befth of which are considered highly impor tant by transportation men, it will be impossible for Pacifeic coast represent atives to attend the Washington ses sion, unless tney aDsent tnemseives from the Spokane and San Francisco meetings.

Washington, Senator Opens Cani paign With Address at Walla Walla Before Republicans. WALLA WALLA, Wash., May 15. (Special.) The Carlyon road plan was attacked and a budget system of state finance favored by Cena-tor Coman of Spokane, who opened the gubernato rial campaign in southeastern Wash ington here last evening. The meet ing was held under the auspices o the republican club "of Walla Walla county. Senator Coman Insisted he is enthu 8iastically in favor of good 'roads and of extending the states system o hard surfacing, but he declared th Carylon plan w,ould embarrass the state by limiting building, material t cement, would saddle a burden upon the state of $30,000,000 bonded indebt edness requiring an additional $12,' 000.000 in interest and would only speed up the present road buildm programme five or six years at th most. Owing to the present shortage of labor and road-building machin ery. he said current road taxes an revenues from automobile ' licenses would, provide - funds as rapidly as they could be expended, efficiently. In referring to the state's present system of finance, he declared there was much duplication of effort an that waste was rampant. The presen method of collecting revenues for the state nublic school system and th manner in which thes'e funds are dis tributed were ' denounced. He ex pressed the belief that by the adop tioa of a revised school system code, higher salaries could be paid to teach ers and better educational opportuni ties afforded more of the children, CURRENCY REPORT ASKED Deflation o'r Credit "'by Federal Reserve " Is Basis.
