'SEIZURE OF BOTTLES HELD ILLEGAL; JUDGE El Dayton Asserts Search War rant Did Not Allege Theft of Milk Flasks. DAMAGE SUIT IMPENDS Junk Dealers' Contention Sustained by Court That Ho Criminal Act Was Alleged In Constable's Said. The action begun by the Portland Dairy association to recover 4 000 milk bottles, which had been seized at the places of business of six bottle supply houses and Junk dealers, was thrown out of court yesterday afternoon by District Judge Dayton. Two bottles were ordered returned to the Junk dealers. Judge Dayton sustained the conten tion of Attorney Dan Malarkey, who argued the case in behalf of the junk dealers, that the court had no Jurisdic tion because the search warrants upon which the bottles had been seized by the constable did not allege that the bottles had been stolen. The court held that the execution of a search warrant Is a criminal process and a crime must b charged. Otherwise, said the Judge, a replevin action would be the proper procedure. Bell Seeks to Stay Order. Attorney Chris Bell, representing the creameries and dairies, sought to stay the court from ordering the bottles re turned, lie contended that if the court had no Jurisdiction it could not make such an order. As a result of the raid on the Junk dealers, Malarkey stated that action for damages would be Instituted against the dairies aJid creameries responsible for it. The raid was made about two weeks ago. Most of the search warrants were issued on the affidavit of Claude Huff man, representing the Portland Dairy association. The dairymen contended that the bottles were being stolen from them and the Junk dealers were buying them, thus encouraging boys and others to steal the bottles from porches. The places searched, where bottles were found, included The American Bottle company. 315 Front street; City P.ottle Supply company, 231 Front; A. B. Junk A Hardware company, 260 Front; Portland Bottle Supply corn Puny, 304 Front; D. Nemerousky Fur niture & Hardware company, 265 Front, and the Hose City Junk & Bottle com pany, 212 Front. Mwj Creameries Complain.

Washington, July 8. (IT. P.) The Interstate commerce commission today authorized the establishment of com modity rates from Pacific coaet ter minals and intermediate points In Art zona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, 1'tah, Oregon, British Columbia. Idaho. Montana and Washington to points In Florida. Georgia. South Carolina. Tennearee ard Alabama, In disregard of long and rhntt haul provisions of the act to regulate commerce By a decision today in a case brought by railroads of the southeastern terri tory, the Interstate Commerce commis sion has established the principle that where water competition actually ex ists, the railroad rates to terminals may still remain lower than rates to Intermediate pointu, regardless of Its decision In fhe Spokane interniountain case. Appeal was made by these rail car riers for relief from the provisions of the fourth section of the act to regulate commerce, which forbids the publication of lower tariff rates to a more, remote destination than to a less remote des tination. This application was mnde to the commission through It. H. Countlss agent of the Transcontinental Freight association. The commission today granted the prayer of the southeastern carriers, which Is for establishment of rates on specific commodities from Pacific Northwest points to the southeastern territory. Among these commodities are fresh and dried fruits and canned goods. It was shown at the hearing thnt actual water competition does exist; that steamer lines from New York do invade the gulf ports and thereby affect the rail shipment. The situation is strikingly similar to that of the Spokane controversy, the principles involved being Identi cal. In the latter case, however, tha commission held with the Spokane in terests that water competition at Pa cific ports has been interrupted hy the closing of the Panama canal and by the withdrawal of ships from the intercoastal trade to foreign trade. Avowedly for that reason, the com mission ordered the strict application of the fourth section by September 1. subject to review, however, when water traffic conditions are readjusted.
