Another legal entanglement in con nection with a resolution adopted recently by the public service com mission, looking to a- reduction in the rates of the Pacific Telephone &' Telegraph company in this state, came to light here today, j In-a letter addressed to the pub i lie service commission. I. H. Van Winkle, attorney-general. Indicated that the' Oregon statutes do not pro vide any authority whereby he may withdraw his answer to the com plaint in the suit initiated by Robert G. Duncan and others of Portland to set aside an order issued by a previous commission on February 28. 1921, authorizing an increase in the telephone rates, without filing in the courts an amended or substi tute answer. KerrUcan Resolution Affected. The resolution to which the attorney-general's letter refer was pre pared by T. M. Kerrigan, one Of -the recall members of the public service commission, and provided merely for the withdrawal of the answer to the complaint In the Duncan suit which would have allowed the case to go by default. The resolution was adopted at an executive session of the commission held this week. Newton McCoy, also a recall mem ber of the commission, supported the resolution, while It was opposed by H. H. Corey, third member of the commission, who participated in preparing the order of the previous commission allowing an increase in the telephone rates. "I have your letter of August 9." said Attorney-General Van Winkle,' in his letter, "transmitting a resolu tion passed by your commission on that date in which you request that I withdraw the answer filed by this office in the case of Robert G. Dun can and others against the public service commission, in the Multno mah county circuit court. Legal rrorrdire In Doubt. "Responding. I have to advise that upon looking into the statute relat ing to such matters, it is not entire ly clear what !s the exact procedure to b followed in complying with your request. "In order for me to do this in telligently and effectively, it would seem advisable for me to request o( your commission information as to the nature or contents of the amend ed or substitute answer to be filed in the case. As I understand the pro cedure in such cases, it would be necessary for me. in compliance with your request, to apply" to the court for leave to amend or withdraw said answer, and substitute another. This- should contain a statement of the facts which you wish to set forth In said amended or substitute answer. More Information Requested. "I wish to assure you that it- Is my desire to comply fully with the requirements of the law and to co operate with you in every way in which I can. or In which I ani authorized, in the execution and ex ercise of the Vrnportant powers and wide discretion vested by law in vour commission In the establish ment of Just and equitable rates of public utilities, and in all other respects relating to the lawiui dis charge of your duties. leaving to you, of course, full exercise of such discretion." None of the members of the com mission was in Salem today, but attaches of the department Indi cated that the information asked by the attorney-general probably would be supplied early next week. Blackfeet Chief Champion Gopher Killer of World. Spilt Bars Slays 160O Little Pesta Since Last Snow. WEST BEATS SOUTH TS 1 EXPOR Northwest Movements in 6 Months 624,367,409 Feet. GAIN IN 1922 IS LARGE G1 LACIER PARK. Mont., Aug. 12. Montana thinks that it has fcund the -world's champion gopher killer in Chief Oscar Split-Ears, a Blackfeet chieftain on the reserva tion at Browning near here. ' Recently at a tribal council in the Office of F. C. Campbell, the reser vation agent, several of the chiefs turned the talk to gopher killing, each reporting the extermination of lage numbers of the prairie.rodents this season. Split-Ears startled the group when It came his turn, by calmly announcing that he had killed 1600 gophers since the ' snow left the ground this spring. The others asked for proof of this and laughed polite ly when Split-Ears said he had turied the tails always retained for proof and would have difficulty ir. locating them. After the conference SplitrEan disappeared and was, not seen around the reservation until a few days ago when he came to Mr. Campbell's office carrying a 35-foot rope to which were attached 3215 gopher talis. "I couldn't find the tails I buried." th,e chief told Mr. Campbell through an interpreter, "so I went out and killed some more-gophers." Split-Ears' remarkable 'String of gopher tails will be kept for exhi bition at the Montana state fair.- in September.

Ming "Wo Ko, a dealer in electrical equipment, is authority for the statement that most of the radio sets in Chinatown are owned by boys from 10 to 18 years old. Many of the receiving sets are of the crys tal variety, although some of the older youths have acquired audion detectors and amplifiers. Two Chinese electrical firms in Chinatown receive the concerts that are broadcast in San Francisco and vicinity from 9 o'clock in the morn ing until 9 o'clock at night and en tertain their patrons with concerts by means of loud-speaking devices.
