"By the decision of the Interstate
commerce commission in th ("urNt.'iis'
Packing company case, tln .liiilninent of
the men who selected l'ortland as the
best place in the far west for a packing
confer is Justified an.l confirmed," pays
I. O. Llvrly, vice president of thn Port
land I'nion Stock Yards company.
' In this decision, announced in Well
ington yesterday, the commerce com
mission dismissed the complaint of a
firm of Tacoma packers, who sought to
have the carload rate on shipments of
livestock from Portland to Tacoma ami
Seattle reduced from J3S to $23. Tli
commission denied that" the rates nre
unjust, and declared that it is not the
function of the commission to equalize
differences In the natural advantages
of communities.
"The men who picked Portland as the
livestock center of the northwest Rave
four or five years to study of the con
ditions," said Mr. Lively. "Because of
the downhill haul to Portland and the
(Treat country tributary to this market.
It was decided to make the Investment
here. The decision In the Carstens case
upholds the Judgment of the packers In
selecting- Portland.
Should Increase Buying.
"Its effect should be to more firmly
establish Portland as the central mar
ket and distributing point. It points
out that the cities on the sound are not
entitled to the same rates possessed by
Portland, since Portland has natural ad
vantages the other cities cannot claim.
It should Increase the buying; In Port
land for shipment to Tacoma and Se
attle. "Livestock dealers on the sound have
made most of their purchases by sending-
buyers Into Montana, Idaho, wher
ever the stock could be obtained. This
has increased the cost of the product.
The decision should result in bringing
more business to Portland. At present
about 30 per cent of the sales here are
to buyers outside of ibrtlanL"
In Its decision the commercd commis
sion found that the rates mae hy the
railroads were voluntarily established,
and were not instigated by the beef
trust to discriminate against Independ
ent packers on Puget Sound. The rail
roads were justified in fixing; rates for
distribution to the northern territory to
meet the peculiar conditions Involved. It
Is declared, and the commission would
not be Justified In restricting the Port
land distributive territory, even though
It permits Invasion of the Puget Bound
markets.
Advantages of Portland.
In its decision the commission said:
"The conclusion is Inevitable that the
complainant Is seeking to have the
commission equalize Tacoma and Seat
tle with Portland as a slaughtering
center. Doubtless due to her natural
location, Portland has certain advan
tages as a livestock market and the tes
timony Is that the prevailing prices of
livestock are somewhat lower there than
at cities on the Sound. The record does
not show that this condition Is due to
any unjust arrangement of rates, and
It Is well settled that it Is not the func
tion of the commission to equalize com
munities In matters of this character.
"Testimony In this case Is that the
cost of transportation In the case of
livestock and products of livestock Is
approximately the same and this Is not
at variance with our general knowl
edge of the situation.
"Based on the same minimum car
load rates for both movements of 25,
000 pounds, at the per car rate on live
stock of $35 per 36 foot 6 inch car, the
rate would be 14 cents per 100 pounds
for movement to Tacoma and 3 6 cents
to Seattle. When these rates are com
pared with the rate on fresh meats from
Portland to Tacoma and Seattle of 20
cents per 100 pounds. It will be seen
that at the present time the rates on
livestock are lower than tlie ratis on
fresh incuts. It is our conclusion that
the adjustment complained of has not
been shown to be unreasonable and the
complaint will therefore be. dismissed."
John 11. Goddard, real estate dealer
In the Yeon building. Is on trial today In
the circuit court for a statutory offense
against a IT year old girl. Judge Camp-
hell of Uregon City is hearing the case.
This forenoon was taken up In the se
lection of a Jury.
Attorneys Howerman, King and Long
fur ;.il(!ard are using extreme care In
selecting Jurymen to hear the evidence,
Special attention is given to the family
relations of t lie prospective juror. The
defendant is apparently seeking to avoid
iilMainlng u Juror who has children in
liis family.
I'eputles District Attorney Fitzgerald
ami Lennl.son are prosecuting the
charge. Their questions to the Jurors
have much to do with law enforcement
and especially the one against young
Klrls. A Jury will very likely be se
cured late this afternoon.
Three Kills of tender years have In
formed against Goddard." one came
from a small country town a few
months ago, and secured a position in
Cioddaid's office soon after her Hrrlvnl.
She has told that Goddard Induced her
to lead a wayward life, and gave her
several new dresses. She relates that
lie first took her to the cafes, where
wine flowed freely.
One of the other girls claims God
dard became acquainted with her when
he sold her mother a home. She says
he induced her to come to his office
alone. The stories of how the girls had
been treated reached the Juvenile court,
and Chief Probation Officer White made
an investigation upon which the three
Indictments were returned by the grand
Jury.
The mothers of both girls are with
thorn In the court room. The brother of
the IT year old stenographer has made
threats of whipping Goddard, and extra
precaution Is being taken during the
trial. The mother of the girl has also
threatened Ooddard.
Ooddard was formerly a minister In
the Methodist Kplscopal church, but
was expelled from the church on ac
count of trouble with a woman. Soon
after his expulsion his wife secured a
divorce from him in Seattle. She will
be a witness against him In this case.

After the Stewart Iron works had

evening, the prisoners opened the cell

"Just to show you that we can un

Mayor Rushlight believes the problem
of how to take care of the armyxf un

can be successfully solved by the coun
ty administration. He has asked the
Board of Associated Charities, which
appealed to the city council for aid for
the unfortunate, In the shape of an ap
propriation, to confer with County Judge
Cleeton and the county commissioners.
"The county Is better able to provide
work for the Idle," said the mayor,
"than is the city. The county roads
require the attention of workmen and
the county could give employment to
hundreds of laborers and thus save the
taxpayers a lot of money, as a small
wage could be fixed for those employed.
Any help extended to the homeless at
this time would be in the nature of an
emergency with which the county can
come to better advantage than can the
city, bound as It is by the red tape of
civil service rules.
"Even if the suggestion that the city
employ the men to work In the parks
and on the streets were followed out.
only these whoso names appear on the
eligible list or the civil service com
mission could be employed at present.
Of course, it would be possible for the
commission to create a separate classi
fication of laborers and for me to make
temporary appointments, but I am of
the opinion that the better way to deal
with- tlie situation Is for the county to
take charge of the task. The city pays
90 per cent of the county taxes, anyway.

IMPORTANT WITNESS IN
F
LOCHARD
CASE
OUND
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
today received Information Indicating
that "Jack" Logan, much wanted as a
witness in the ease of Leond Lochnrd,
who Is suspected of the murder of Har-
bara Holtzmaii. Is now living in a town
up the Columbia river. An officer will
be sent to secure his statement.
Reports have been given the district
attorney that Logan knows Lochard to
have visited the rooming house where
the little lloltzman girl was killed. Ills
testimony in that event would go far
toward fixing the crime on Lochard.
T. Ambrose, a laborer of 687 Michi
gan street, yesterday reported to the
sheriff's office that Lochard closely re
sembles a man he saw near the place
where the girl was killed about 3 o'clock
one morning, either the day the crime
was committed or the day after. The
body of the girl was not discovered un
til the day after the crime.

VANDALS NEEDLESSLY
DESTROYING TREES
Property owners in Rose City Park
and other districts surrounding Port
land are indignant about the acts of
vandals in cutting the small fir trees
on their property for Christmas trees.
The greater part of the shrubs is pri
vate property and many of the property
owners take pride in the trees on their
places, hoping that as they grow they
will beautify their homes. One woman
was heartbroken on going to look at the
lot she had purchased for a home to
find two small trees cut off close to
the ground. These trees had been one
of the attractions which had induced
her to buy the lot and her sorrow on
finding them gone was pathetic.
Many of these acts of vandalism are
done by people who do not stop to
think that the property Is private, but
the majority aro men and boys who
do not care. Trees cannot be grown
in a short time and the cutting of these
trees la a permanent loss.
