Thtff the Adamson right hour law Is
closely linked with the application of
the railroads for a IS per cent increase
in freight rates was indicated by ad
dresses delivered Monday before the
momhora' council of the cnamber of

sel of the 8.. P. & S- and Frank W.
Koblnson. traffic manager of the O-W.
K. & N.
The effect of the Adamson law. the
railroad representatives stated, was to
increase the wage of trainmen about
23 per cent. In addition, Mr. Robin
son pointed out, the prlee of supplies
and materials has Increased all alonff
the line from IB to 100 per cent. The
15 per cent increase, asked, he de
clared, will not meet the increased
cost of operating.
rair Treatment Sought
"We ask the Increase not to increase
dividends but to meet a crisis.

Mrs. Margaret M. Dufur
the state railroad commission; we
hiust trust to the Justice, fairness and
sense of responsibility of the people.
We must have the increase if we are
to pay our bills and continue as a
going concern."
Mr. Kerr made some rather start
ling statements about the S., P. & S.
railroad. "Since 1913 the S., P. & S.
has earned only 2 V4 per cent on an in
vestment of $61,000,000." he said. "h
Oregon Electric is now paying less
than 2 per cent and Oregon l runn. i
United Railways and the Pacific A
ICasterri have never paid operating ex
penses. rignres Show losses
"To net 4 per cent Income we should
have had to receive $460,993 additional
revenue in 1913, $876,831 in 1914, $943,
0&9 in 1915. $681,216 in 1916 and $98,
938 for the first three months of 1917.
The cost of fuel oil to the S.. P. & S.
by reason of the expiration of a con
tract on March 31 advanced from 72
cents to $1.45 a barrel, and this alone
means $365,000 a year Increase In
operating expenses, or 14 per cent on
our last year's gross freight earnings
of $2h97J.O00.
"If we are unable to secure the ln
. crease asked It means a trend toward
bankruptcy, decrease of capacity for
service and the creation of a situation
that will come home seriously to every
shipper."
Both speakers said the railroad
properties have been made especially
available for government use and that
to decrease the carriers' ability to
serve may hamper the government In
meeting its military exigencies.

Mrs. Margaret M. Dufur died at Du

the funeral was held June 1. from
the J. P. Flnley & Son chapel. Rev. W.
E. Kloster. pastor of the Woodlawn,
M. E. church, officiated. Interment
was in the Lone Fir cemetery.
Mrs. Dufur was the daughter of
John and Ann Stansbery, who came
to this state In 1862. and settled on
what was known as the Stansbery
farm and is now the Woodlawn addi
tion to the city of Portland. The father
and mother were active members of the
Methodist church, and were widely
known in church work. The children
were all brought up in the Methodist
faith.
Five sisters and brothers survive
her. The'slsters are Mrs. Milton Sun
derland. Mrs. Susan Wlndle, Mrs. Lou
Foster, widow of the late John Fos
ter, all residing in this city; Mrs.
Belle Zellar, of Hermlston, Or., and
Mrs. Francis Zellar of Hood River. The
brothers are John E. Stansbery, state
horticultural inspector; Edward and
William, all residing in this city.
Margaret M. Stansbery was mar
ried to Andrew J. Dufur Jr., May 1,
1869, and in 1872 removed with her
husband to what is now known as
Dufur, Or. Being early settlers In
that country, they were largely iden
tified in Its development, and Mrs. Du
fur contributed largely in the work of
assisting and bettering the conditions
of those In need of help and wise coun
cil in that then sparsely settled coun
try.
Here was laid out by her husband
and his brother, E. B. Dufur, in 1877,
what is now the city of Dufur, and
was named in honor of the father, A.
J. uurur Jr., who had made such a
successful exhibit of Oregon's prod
ucts In 1876 at the Centennial exhibi
tion of the world's products.
Her husband was the first mayor of
Dufur. He served twd terms. Late
in the fall of 1896 the ami! y removed
to this city. Mr. Dufur died June 19,
1914, and is, burled in the Dufur pint
In Lone Fir cemetery. Mrs. Dufur wu
67 years a f age.
She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Lois
Dufur Balch of Dufur and Mrs. Harry

I Toklo, June 6. (U. P.) Th Chinese
revolutionary movement today Is tend
ing toward the restoration of a mon
archy and the enthronement of the
old dynasty.
Latest reports received here from
Peking deny that President Ll Yuan
, Hung has resigned under pressure of
.the militarists who have established
a provisional government at Tientsin.
Hsu Shi Chang, head of the revolu
tionists' provisional government, is
known to have monarchistic leanings.
BerolTxtionlst Assumes Duties
Hsu Shi Chang has assumed his du
ties and Is preparing to demand the
resignation of President Ll Yuan
Hung. j
The disruption of parliament today
threatened to block the plan of Presi
dent Ll to rush through an immediate
declaration of war against Germany.
Eighty members of parliament have
resigned and several members of Ll
Hung's administration have fled from
Peking, according to cablegrams re
ceived here. This leaves President H's
government practically paralysed.
Old Chang- Dynasty rarored
The movement toward a monarchy la
further emphasized by the fact that
General Chang Sun, military governor
of the province of Anhwei. favors reviv
ing the old Chans dynasty. It was
General Chang.- who virtually placed
Hsu Shi Chang at the head of the pro
visional government in Tientsin.
Two thousand rebel troops from the
province of Anwei, belonging to the
command of General Nl Shi Chun, have
arrived near Tientsin on a special
train. Two thousand more are report
ed to be en route to Tientsin from an
other province. No other movement of
troops is reported.
The belief in Toklo Is that China
will be plunged into anarchy.

Washington. June 6. (I. N. 8.)
The California corporation license tax
law, enacted In 1911, Monday was held
constitutional by the United States
supreme court. The law brings a rev
enue of about $1,000,000 a year to Cal
ifornia, chiefly from foreign corpora
tions. The decision of the supreme

Pick & Co., wholesale crockery firm
of Chicago. The court held that the
tax was really an excise tax, and
though based upon the corporate stock,
is applicable to corporations engaged

Bopp and Assistant
' May Serve Terms
Convicted German Neutrality Violators

Present Detention Camp.
San Francisco, June 6. (U. P.)
FTanz Bopp ana ECKhardt 11. von
Schaack. former German consul gen
eral and vice consul here, came to San
Francisco today to talk with their at
torney, Theodore J. Koache.
Since their conviction of violating
American neutrality they have ben
held in a detention camp on Angel
island. They were sentenced on Janu
ary 22 to two years' imprisonment
each.
Bopp and Von Schaack probably will
begin serving their sentences at once.
This is believed to be the object of
their conference with Roache. They
figure that their internment as "enemy
aliens" may last as long as their prison
sentences, and they might as weir be
in a federal prison as in a detention
camp.
