JOINT COMMITTEE TO j
INVESTIGATE NATIONAL '
COMMERCE CONDITIONS
. Washington. Aug 5 A blff job has
Been given to a joint committee of
congress that will Investigate condi-
; tions of Interstate and foreign com- :
rneree and the authority that should
be vented In tho Interstate Commerce:
Commission. I'renident Wilson sug- '
gested that It would be well to inves- !
tisate the whole question of extend-!
. ing- railroad regulation and this com- i
'- mittee is the outcome.
.It will be composed of Senators!
Newlands of Nevada, Robinson of Ar
kansas. Underwood of Alabama r.,m. !
. mlns of Iowa, and Rramjeitee of Con
f necticut. Representatives Adamson of
V Georgia, Sims of Tennessee, 0illop of
Indiana, Ksch of Wisconsin and Ham
; llton of Michigan. Senator Cummins
, and Representative Tsch are expected
to be especially active, because of
their past activities in the same di
rection. There has been a tendency in late
' years to pile more and more work on
F the interstate commission, of a wlde-
ly diverse character. Valuation of
'.-mil the roads of the country was
i na of the big tasks given a few years
ago, and the fixing of railway mall
"vpay, which proved too distressing for
- congress to settle this year, was
passed on to the commission.
The regulation of railroad securities
And investigation of wage disputes are
" other things on the horizon and be
" yond these the regulation of public
"utilities and of water lines of tranc-
portation.
';- Bome senators express belief that
l railroad recognition itr "breaking
.down," or at least not achieving the
results that ought to come. The joint
committee will be expected to tell
.'congress whether the duties of the
J commission should be extended or
Any radical departures made.

"The department's recommendations
to congress In reference to the loca
tion and establishment of bases of
various types are based on the recom
mendation of the general board s strat

desirable locations of such bases, ar.d
naturally they are limited to as few
as possible on account of their great

Johnson in Good Position.
Washington, Aus. C. Representa
tive Albert Johnson of Washington in
his campaign for renominatlon is plac
ing particular emphasis upon the fa
vorable position he claims he will oc
cupy in the nxt house if that body
has a Republican majority. Through
rapid changes in the RcpubMcan mem
bership of the committee on Immigra
tion, Hayes of California Is the only
Republican who ranks him on that
body, and it is assumed that Hayes
would prefer to be chairman of bank
ing and currency, where he stands at
the flead of the Republican list, leav
ing Johnson, in the natural order of
thlnus, the chairman of immigration.
The Immigration coinmiitee has
been .one of importance for several
sessions, because of the struggle over
the pending immigration bill and the
literacy test. If the present congress
disposes of this bill or the next house
is I emo'ratlc, the advantage of John
son's position will be lessened or lost.
New Postmasters Appointed.

Washington, Aug. 5. Printing of

Commerce commission against the in
crease In freight rates which go into
effect September 1 is the plan of the
Jobbers" association here, according to
F. P. Gregson, traffic manager of the
association. It is claimed the rates

creases are attributed to the lack of
water competition.
The commission already has set Au
gust 14 for a hearing of protests by

SPOKANE RATE CASE
TO BE TAKEN UP AT
T 14
Railroads and Coast Shippers
Cited to Appear Before the
Commerce Commission,
Railroads as well as Pacific coast
shippers will come before the Inter
state Commerce commission, August
14. in connection with the Spokane
rate case hearing. A telegram received
by the Portland Traffic and Trans
portation association from (J. B. Mc
Ginty, secretary uf tne commission,
reads: "Hearing assigned August 14
in Washington to hear objections to
and explanations of proposed transcon
tinental rate."
The objections have feen filed by the
shippers' organizations of -the Pacific
coast, as is their right when rates are
increased, and responsibility rests
upon the carriers to explain certain
Increase in their tariffs as made under
authority of the intermountaln rate
order or the Interstate Commerce com
mission. For instance, the 40.000
pounds .carload 'minimum allowed Spo
kane and the 70,000 pound carload min
imum Imposed on Pacific coast points
in order to get the carload rate.
One of the first steps in the fight
against the Increases in transconti
nental rates under the Spokane rate
decision will be an effort to Induce
the Interstate Commerce commission
to hold the hearing on the Pacific
coast. This was urged in a telegram
from San Francisco shippers yesterday
evening. Seattle. Tacoma, Portland,
San Francisco and otner terminals will
stand together In protest against the
rate and in demand for a Pacific coast
hearing.
J. H. I.othrop. secretary of the Port
land Traffic and Transportation asso
ciation, may go to Washington in a
few days as one of Portland's repre
sentatives. Seth Mann and witnesses
who will testify to business losses that
will be caused by the increase of rates
will leave San Francisco for Washing
ton August 9.
Nothing to Do But
Look for Trouble
Duties of Streetcar Conductors in Oak
land Are to Make Things Pleasant
for Passengers That Heed Help.
Oakland, Cal., Aug. 5 (P. N. S.)
Oakland today has a streetcar con
ductor who collects no fares, calls no
streets and issues no transfers. He
Just looks for trouble, riding up and
down all day on the streetcar lines of
the San Francisco-Oakland Terminal
railways.
Here are some of his duties:
To hold babies.
To open windows.
To answer questions, sane or foolish.
To tell how, when, where and why
cars run.
To play squire to aged dames and
nurse to traveling children.
To listen to complaints, return a soft
answer and smooth out the kinks.
His name is William Neidrich and
he's the first traveling conductor ever
to form a third of a crew in the coun
try. If the innovation is a success,
there probably will be one such con
ductor appointed for every carllne.

PROGRESSIVES
ASKED
TO VOTE FOR WILSON
IE OF
Chairman of National Demo
cratic Committee Wires to
Party in California,
New York. Aug. 5. (I. N. S.)
Chairman Vance C. McCormlck of tho
rational Democratic committee, has
wired an appeal for Bull Moose aid for
Wilson to the Progressives of Cali
fornia. Expressing his regret that he could
not participate in the Woodrow Wil
son independent Progressive confer
ence set for San Francisco Saturday,
Chairman McCormick telegraphed
President Joseph S. Thompson:
"Permit me to call your attention td
Woodrow Wilson's definition of a pro
gressive given by him in an address
before the Kansas Society of New
York, January 29, 1911. before the
Progressive party was brought Into
being. Then Governor Wilson of New
Jersey said
'By radical, I under-
stand one who goes too far, by ccn
servative one who does not go tar
enough, by reactionary, one who won't
go at all. I suppose I must be a
progressive which 1 take to be one
who insists on recognizing new facts,
fdjusting policies to facts and circum
stances as they arise.'
Wilson and Progresslvaism.
"This spirit of progresslveism has
actuated all of Woodrow Wilson's
public service. Under his administra
tion the major part of the program
proposed in the Progressive national
platform of 1312 has been enacted
into law. 'Invisible government,' which
is now making desperate efforts to
'come back,' was driven from power
by his administration and -will have
no place In Washington so long ai
he is in the 'White House.
"The Democratic party welcomes
the support of all independent citizens
who share its ideals and purposes. To
the men and women of California
represented at your conference, it suo
mits itself on its record as the one
available instrumentality for progres
sive service."
Wilson Strong In Maine.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant sec
retary of the navy, stopped to call on
McCormick on his way to Washington
from Maine.
"Mains is normally a Republican
state." he said, "but from present In
dications the president will receivs
such a great number of Republican
and Progressive votes that he will
come very close to carrying it, if he
does not actually do so by a substan
tial majority. I was surprised at the
number of people in Maine who felt
Hughes' speech of acceptance was
wholly inconclusive."
Representative Alfred G. Alien of
Ohio who has also toured Mains said:

Boys Are Included
fn 16-Year-01d Law
Attorney General Brown Informs Mrs.
Millie X. Trumbull, Portland, That
Bill Was Hot Meant for Girls Only.
Salem, Or., Aug. B. When the law
says that "no child under the age of 16
years shall be employed, permitted or
suffered to work In the telegraph, tele
phone or public messenger service," it
meant boys as well as girls. Attorney
General Brown told Mrs. Millie R.
Trumbull of Portland Friday.
Mrs. Trumbull sugested that the lan
guage was intended to apply only to
girls. Brown says that the law Is not
ambiguous and the intention of the
legislature is plain.
Wanted to Play So
Girls Could Sing
Jack Sprott of Spokane Taken Prom
Train at The Dalles and Believed He
Drank Zioaded Whiskey.
The Dalles, Or.. Aug. 6. Jack
Sprott, Spokane, was taken from the
train here tonight. It- is believed he
drank "loaded whiskey." He begged
the officers to allow him to "play the
piano while the girls sang," and beat
the air with his fingers, imitating a
piano player. He has a railroad ticket
to Calgary, Canada, from Spokane. It
Is not believed he is demented.
Divorced Wire Movie Actress.
Los Angeles. Cal.. Aug. 5. (P. N.
S.) Mrs. Charles W. Smith, divorced
wife of a New York millionaire and
said to be the daughter of the late
Ernst von Seipoldt. 8an Francisco
banker,' was discovered here Friday in
the role of a motion picture actress.
She said that she was taking this
means of providing for her two small
children.
"Conditions are very satisfactory for
the Democratic ticket, especially since
the Hughes' acceptance speech.
President Gaining in Ohio.
"How about Ohio? Both Senator
Pomerene and Governor Cox will be re
elected. The president Is stronger than
he was six months ago Hughes and
the Republicans have presented only
one criticism. They favor destruction
Instead of construction."
After a talk with National Commit
teeman Norman F. Mack, of New York,
Chairman McCormick said he would go
to Washington tomorrow and see the
president. His campaign committee
may be revised on his return. The
chairman declined to say whether Mr.
Mack will be a member of it.
"The Indiana Progressive meet
ins turned down Hughes and de
cided on not running- a third
ticket; therefore' the deduction is
plain that the Progressives are for
Wilson," Democratic National Chair
man McCormick said.
"The Progressives refused to halter
themselves."

MUST RUN FOR OFFICE
WITHOUT PARTY'S AID
Either of Two Methods May
Be Followed by Candi
dates for the State Senate.
No way, it appears. Is provided In
the election laws for filling a vacancy
as has occurred through the resigna
tion of George M. McBrlde as state
senator for Clackamas, Columbia and
Multnomah counties, according to Dis
trict Attorney Walter H. Evans, who
rummaged through the election laws
yesterday in an effort to find an an
swer to the question put to him by a
reporter for The Journal.
But common sense dictates that the
vacancy must be filled and Mr. Evans
decided that undoubtedly two wys
would be open for a person to get his
name on the general election ballot as
a candidate for the Joint senatorship.
Two Methods Are Available.
One of these will be by nomination
by an assembly of 100 or more elec
tors of the senatorial district and the
other by petition of not less than 3
per cent of the voters in the district.
Candidates thus nominated, however
will be required to run as independents.
Mr. Evans said he could find no pro
visions in the law which would make
it possible for a candidate to be placed
on the ballot as a party nominee.
The contention has been advanced
that it would be necessary for the gov
ernor to call a special election to fill
the vacancy. To substantiate this
claim, section 3431 of the statutes has
been cited.
Section 3431 Doesn't Apply.
That section provides that when a
vacancy occurs in the senate "and a
session of the legislature is to take
place before the next biennial election,
the governor shall issue a writ of
election directed to the sheriff of the
county," etc.
Mr. Evans pointed out that this sec
tion applies only when a session of the
legislature is to be held before the
next biennial election and does not fit
the present case.
There is no limit to the number of
candidates who may have their names
placed on the ballot by complying with
one of the two methods pointed out
Senator McBrlde resigned in order to
accept an independent nomination for
county Judge in opposition te George
Tazwell, the Republican candidate.
Noyon Is Raided by
French Air Fleet
Paris. Aug. 6. (I. N. S.) Announce
ment of a French air raid upon mili
tary works at Noyon was made In the
official communique Issued Friday.
"On the night of Augusj; a." said
the ktatement, "our air squadrons
dropped 80 shells upon the railway sta
tion at Noyon and ammunition fac
tory. Fifty shells were thrown upon
other railway stations and camps in
the Somme region."

r
Portland children brought the
dances and songs of Shakespearean
days closer to the present century
yesterday. In the pageant presented at
Peninsula Park.
The parts were played by children
of the Peninsula Park playgrounds,
trained by J. Lee Thompson, director
of the public playgrounds, and Mrs.
Eleanor Sanford-Large, . E. Murphy,
Miss Marion Allhands and Miss Jessie
Thayer.
That the pageant was a great suc
cess was evident from the rapt atten
tion with which the thousands pres
ent gazed on the froliclng of the Pic
turesquely garbed children.
The pageant opened with a grand
march led by Mr. Thompson and Mrs.
Sanford-Large. The prologue was
delivered by Mrs. Sanford-Large and
the dancing then commenced.
The first number was the dance of
"The Seven Jumps," ludicrous but
gracefully executed. The boy dancers,
garbed as knights of ancient days,
staged a tilting match so well exe
cuted that many wondered if indeed
there were not ill feeling.
The feature dance was probably the
Witch dance, In which a bevy of pretty
little mlsse portrayed the fabled an
tics of "the old witch who rode on a
broom." This dance was greatly en
Joyed. Three more excellent dancing
numbers completed the program.
The cast of characters was as fol
lows: Herald, Queen Cheadle: Master Sky
lark (Nicholas Attwood), Floretta
Lowlt; Mr. Attwood (father of Mas
ter Skylark), Tolnie West; Mrs. Att
wood (mother of Master Skylark),
