"Wlllielm II Is a popular Idol In France

"I remember when Ferdinand learned
that Prince Alexander of Bulgaria was
kidnaped In tho '80s. That gave Fer
dinand his chance. Bulgaria was left
without a ruler, and aa nobody else
seemed willing to touch the job, Fer
dinand took It, ,
"Ferdinand went to Sofia by river,
In secret, at nifiht. In August, 18S7.
We of the diplomatic service never

-not much more for his life; for Bul

"Desliny, though, was on Ferdinand's
side destiny and his French mother.
A perfumed aristocrat of most dainty
manners, th ruler of a rough and ready
folk, he had need for a backer of the
rough, brutal type, one who knew audi
could manage the Bulgarians; and des J
liny furnished Ferdinand with Stam
bouloff, the bloodthirsty eon of an Inn-
keeper.
Btambouloff for Rough Work.
"Stamhoulol'f, as premier, ruled with
a brace of revolvers in hi.s hands and

The second gentleman took several
lps of a wonderfully potent Burgundy
and a tiny bit of flavor enhancer in
the way of Camembert on a bread
crust, before he replied. Then he said,
It seeme-d to me with Just a trace of
malice:
'Put Ferdinand made good, didn';

The. othr snoTtcd.
"He began an unrecognized prince,
whose throne and Ufa werenf worth a

The Blood of Louie Philippe.
"Yes, that was the blood of Txmls

"And forced a hotUe Russia to look
at things his way; freed bis country
from the Turk, threw off the Stambou

work, put railways and schools in the
land; made Bulgaria, Instead of the

licked the Turks In battle as he had
In diplomacy."
"The blood of his mother, Prlnceas

"Well?'' Plainly, the old gentleman
wa poking sticks at the animals.
"Well!" echoed tlie other angrily.
"You must be blind! French blood
made Ferdinand. It was his Austrian
blood that turned him renegade and
made hint ally himself with his oppres

TESTIMONY TAKEN
IN THE WILLAMETTE
VALLEY RATE CASE
Case Is Now Ready for the
Filing of Briefs and Later
Argument. .
EVIDENCE IS REVIEWED
Local Mllia Claim Four Cant Differ
ential Will Prove Injury to
Tli air Lumber Bualsaaa.
Taking of testimony in the Willam
ette Valley lumber rate case was con
cluded Just at noon yesterday. The In-man-Poulsen
Lumber company and the
Kastern & Western Lumber company
completed their testimony in rebuttal
before Interstate Commerce Commis
sion Examiner Butler. The case is
now ready for the filing of briefs and
later argument.
The case' is one involving the rela
tion of rates into the northern Califor
nia territory from the Willamette. Va
iey ana rrom Portland. By a new
tariff that became effective the middle
of October rates of 17 cents per 100
pounds prevail from Willamette Valley
mills, while rates from Portland are
-IVz cents, or four cents higher. Al
leging that this four -cent differential
w ill be 'disastrous to their business in
this territory, the Portland mill men
appealed to the commission to restore
the old rate, which was -5 cents per
100 pounds from botli Portland and
Willamette Valley with some modifica
tions in favor of the valley mills on
rough green fir.
B. P. Defend a Action.
The Southern Pacific, which was
called upon to defend its action in
changing the rate relation, contended
that it was forced to put in a lower
rate from the valley as a protection
to the mills tributary to its lines, as
serting that the change was a result
of years of study upon the lumber
situation.
With mills being closed down
throughout the valley because of a
luck of business and other disadvan
tages that made inroads upon its ton
nage, the railroad officials testified
that they had made a systematic in
vestigation beginning in 1912 and de
cined that the only way to remedy the
evils was to alter the rates.
The Portland mills brought wit
nesses to show that a lower rate from
the valley would so much overcome
thf rates by water that had allowed
them a foothold that they could no
longer compete in northern California
markets. Numerous Instances were
cited to show this.
Discussion Za Broadened.
Before the testimony was all in, the
whole rate fabric was under discussion,
including rates on commodities of a
dozen different kinds. It was also
shewn that the Southern Pacific makes
a practice of handling some cf the
cars from Willarmitte Valley branch
lines right Into Portland, where the
. . . ..
c c tt "uu,1,ul"u nanunngu were re
quired to get: ine cars into main line
trains.
One point dwelt upon at length was
the fact that the Willamette Valley
I rate extends as far north as Oregon
City, a few miles from Portland, north
of which place the rate "breaks" to
the higher level.

ALLIES SLIP IT OVER
ON THE STEEL TRUST?
Portland Man Bases Affirm
ative Answer on Sudden
Soaring of Prices of Steel,
Dld the Anglo-French allies "slip
one over" on the steel interests of the
United States?
It begins to loo'.c as though that
was just what happened, according
to Portland steel men.
They base their conclusion on the
soaring of steel prices the past few
days. One local agent received a tel
egram from his eastern source of sup
ply yesterday saying that the price
had been advanced 2 a ton for guar
anteed mill shipments, to be made in
ten weeks. The 12 advance, however,
will .hold only until December 1, when
another advance is expected.
In the last 90 days steel has gone
$18 above its normal price, due to the
abnormal demand created by the war.
"But the reason for this immediate
bharp advance," said W. H. Cullers,
chief engineer of the Northwest Steel
company, "is undoubtedly the enor
mous quiet buying of the allies.
"I think the steel makers have Just
found out that they are oversold."
BaUroada How Buying.
Anothey factor In the advance is
that tho railroads, after a period of
retrenchment, are now buying a lit
tle more than they would demand nor
mal 1 v.
"All reports from the east are that
the steel situation is tight, and likely
to be a lot tighter," said another local
steel man. "With the $2 advance, the
price for bars is $34 a ton, which
means $50 in Portland.
"There has also been a big advance
in steel sheets, and I am looking for
n $7 jump. This means that all ma
terials in sheet steel has likewise ad
vanced, particularly in the lighter
sheets. For instance, metal lath is
now 2 cents a yard higher in Port
land."
It is reported that the output of
the Pacific Coast Steel company's
rolling mill at San Francisco is taken
until next spring with orders from the
Orient.
Running at Forced Capacity.
Local steel brokers say. that the
product of eastern mills running at
forced capacity is sold for a year
ahead the result of the allies' "quiet
buying."
A promising factor in the situation
is that lumber prices always follow
those of steel upward. The steel jump
has been so rapid that its influence
has not yet been felt in the lumber
market, but it is expected that it soon
will be.
As an example of what the steel
rise means, it is estimated that the
steel for the interstate bridge if
bought at present prices would cost
at least $150,000 more than what has
Leen paid.

death. He was ordained as a minister
by the Brownsville church In 1S71.
Most of his life since that time has
been spent in pastoral service or relat
ed work. His chief work in recent
years has been the compiling of two
volumes of the history of Baptists in
the northwest, tinder the title of "Bap
tist Annals of Oregon."

weeks ago tonight. Is either not
guilty or else his trial In Cir-

Late last night the Jury had,

and Judge Gat ens agreed on
condition that Deputy City At-

JUDGE GATENS SAYS
HE DID NOT EXPRESS
ANY VIEWS ON FILMS
Motion Picture Censorship Is
Discussed Before the Ore
gon Civic League,
SEVERAL SPEAKERS HEARD
Mrs. Oolwell Declares Haw Tork Peo
ple Unable to Paaa Intelligently on
Pictures to Be Shown Hare.
When Mrs. A. C. Newlll, chairman
of the board of moving picture cen
sors, read a purported newspaper ln
tervlew given by Circuit Judge teatens '
before the Oregon Civic league yea
terday, the Judge was quoted aa eay-
ing:
"There is too much prudery about
the censoring of pictures in Portland
to suit me. Too much narrow minded'
ness and too much paternalism. There) 1
Khnuhl at leant ha a board of appeals
that exhibitors could be given a squar
deal in the mutter censorship."
Before Mrs. Newlll had finished
reading, Judge (Interns, a member of
the audience, was on his feet protest
ing.
"I never Rave nny such Interview,"
he declared. "When the reporter called
on me I told him I wouldn't discuss
the subject.
Denies Making Btatemeat.
"I made no statement whatever, let
alone that which I wan quoted aa hav
ing made. Furthermore. I want to eay
that some of the pictures which ara
exhibited In this city are unfit to be
shown. They ure harmful in their in
fluence, anil a shame to thoae who aea
them. I consider those Keystone Pic
tures unfit to be shown."
Dr. George Rebec of the University,
of Oregon accused the censor board of,
mildness rather than of the ruthleaa
strictness in eliminations with which
it has been charged by some exhibi
tors. Isaac Swett said he thought ther
ought to be a lioard of appeal abova
the board of picture censors.
Postmaster Myern declared exnmi
tors should be compelled to provide
better places for viewing pictures.
Mrs. E. B. Colwell, secretary of the
hoard of censors, presented a statement
In behalf of censorship which was to
have been answered by Paul G. Noble,
district matin ger of the Metro Picture
service, but Mr. Noble, without send
ing any .explanation, failed to appear.
Mrs. OolweU Olves rnres.
Mrs. Colwell said that from March
to October 3301 subjects and f621 reels
were viewed by the censors, and of thla
number there were but 229 eliminations
and 16 't condemnations.
"Ninety-nine per cent of the pictures
condemned by the local board have
been passed by the national board,"
she said.
She insisted a group of New orK
people could not pass intelligently on
pictures shown here. She criticised
the facilities afforded for the viewing
and censoring of pictures, saying:
"It Is either in a cold, damp base
ment, or one In which you have a free
Turkish bnth. or in a little room par
titioned off and reeking with cigarette
smoke." 1
limphasizlng the importance of cen
sorship, she concluded:
"A bad motion picture does ten
times as much harm among children
us a bad book."
