Petrograd. March 2L (I. N. S.)
Russian troops advancing southward

Bad weather has et in on the south

traffic has been at a standstill for
weeks.
Besides, for tha first time in her
history, Russia Is face to face with
famine. The reasons for this are ob
vious. Asi another well-informed dip

of millions of men and the huge losses

The great rate lawyers of the country
will again battle over the transconti

when the Interstate Commerce com
mission will hear argument In Wash
ington on the fourth section applica
tions Involving schedule B and C com
modities. These are the commodities which or
dinarily may be carried either by wa

wnicn tne railroads desire to maintain
less than Intermediate rates to the
coast terminals, where rail and water
lines meet.
The commission's examiner. Thur-
tell. who took the voluminous testi
mony In the case, has made a tenta
tive report, which has been widely dis
seminated In the press on the mistaken
idea that It amounted to the tentative
findings of the commission.
Beport Zs Wot Blading.
This Idea Is repudiated at the office
of the commission, where it Is stated
that the commission is not bound by
the report made by Its examiner, and
while this report forms a basis for dis
cussion, no assumption can be made
that It will be adopted by the com
mission. It Is explained that the system of
having a complete report made by an
examiner in the form of findings, which
set forth fully his conclusions, is being
tried out in the beller that it may as
sist in confining the issues and sharp
ly developing the points to be consid
ered. This is one of the first cases in
which the method has been recently
put into practice, and the commission,
it Is stated, did not desire to give pub
licity to the report, fearing it would
be misconstrued. There was a "leak,"
however, and the entire report was
then made public.
If Examiner Thurtell's conclusions
are accepted, there will be a general

Th effect is to propose what all ad

Borne existing rates are unreason

and no relief should be granted On such
commodities. So It Is proposed that
there shall be a revision of the sched

What the commission will finally do

Three ballots In all were taken, two

Mr. Lockwood'a resignation. .-.". t - v
Many of Mr. Plumraer's supporters
have urged him to take this latter
course, believing that he would be jus
titled In so doing, despite the fact that
it would be a pure circumvention of '
the law. Ilia friends contend that he
more than anyone else waa responsible
for bringing the convention of the Na
tional Education association to Port
land and that he should be , on the
board at the time of the gathering. The
convention, however, cornea in July aad -Mr.
Plumraer's term expires In June. .
Oae Term All Desired,
When Mr. Plummrr was elected fo
the five-year term he made a state-;
ment that this one term wss all he
desired and for this reason It is un
derstood he Is not willing to go before
the voters for another term in June.
Many of hla supporters feeL too.
that the tenure of office law was
puahed through tha legislature for the
sole purpose of ousting him from the
board and that therefore he would be
justified in holding his place on the
board through resigning now, and then
receiving an election to fill the Lock
wood vacancy.
On the other hand there Is conalder- -
able sentiment that the law la the law
and that Mr. Plummer should be bound
by both Its letter and spirit. The law.
says his term shall come to an end In
June and this being the law ha should-.
abide by Jt, putting his case before the
voters of the school district in June It
he desires to continue in office.
The board ia evidently hopelessly,
deadlocked at the present time. At last
week's meeting the directors held a
caucus for 60 minutes befote opening
the regular session. The mev!lng was.
scheduled to begin at 4 o'clock, an'l
they kept a room full of people wait
