Her only brother The right of shippers to participate in rate making under the federal railroad administration Is recognised in the ap pointment, announced today, of John: H. Lothrop as a member of the Port land district "freight traffic committee. Mr. Lothrop is secretary of the Port land Traffic r Transportation associa tion, and a widely recognised authority on rate matters from the shippers point of view. - The announcement from C. A. Prouty, director of the division of traffic for the railroad administration, also includes notice of the appointment of C. O. Ber gen, traffic manager of the Spokane Merchants' association, as a member of the committee, whose members already appointed are Frank W. Robinson, traf fic manager of the O-W. R. A N.. W. D. Skinner, traffic manager of the S., P. 9l S., and Frank D. Burroughs of Seattle. The Portland, district includes the area west of Butte, in Montana, Idaho, parts of Wyoming and Utah, Oregon and Washington. A meeting of. the reorganized committee will be held early next week. When general order No. 28 of the rail road administration was issued, it was anticipated that it would be, necessary to make numerous readjustments for the purpose of carrying out the spirit of that crder, and at the same time avoiding in equality ' and Injustice. It' wss pointed out by numerous shippers and shippers' organizations that substantial Justice to the shippers could not reasonably be ex pected when the same men who made the freight rates sat in Judgment upon the question of the reasonableness of those rates as such questions might be raised by the shipper. It therefore was decided by the railroad administration that the committees should be reorgan- Ised and should include representatives of the shippers. Mr. Prouty says that "shippers' partici pation on traffic committees marks a new . departure In ratemaking. . and I trust that the experiment will be a com plete success." The district committee will investigate the matters brought to their attention. those1 sent ot them by general commit tees or from Washington, or such as in their opinion require investigation and recommendation. Los Angeles, Cal.. July 27. (U. P.) Governor Stephens today acted in the case of Thomas J. Mooney. under sen tence of death as a result of the pre paredness parade dynamiting, and granted a stay of execution until De cember It. . Stephens Issued the following state ment : "I have decided to grant a reprieve to Thomas J. Mooney, whih will oper ate as a stay of execution until Decem ber 13, 1918. "It is true that the Mooney case still Is in the supreme court of California, but I take this action at this time in order that all persons in this state and elsewhere throughout the United States may be assured that the fullest consid eration will be given to this case by the executive and the Judicial branch of the government of California. "The Mooney case has been in the courts of this state for more than two. years. The records and briefs are voluminous. It will require all of the time between now and the thir teenth day of December to give to this matter that careful consideration which justice both to Thomas J. Moo ney and the people demands shall bt given." Germans Grabbing Food From' Russians Washington. July 27. (L N. &) Ths state department today received confirmation-of the refusal of allied diplo mats to move from Vologda to .Moscow, at the invitation of the Bolshevik gov ernment The diplomats refused be cause of the presence of German soldiers who are supposed to be guarding the German embassy there. The communication also added that the food situation between Russia and Ger many was becoming acute and that Ger mans were in many cases requisitioning timber, horses and cattle from Poland and Lithuania without giving the cus tomary "receipt."" Os way in which the Teutons have been securing their gram is to send sol diers with threshing machines to the fields and to help themselves.

Mooney, was undetermined today whether Governor Stephens' re prieve will help Mooney's cause or not. "I have not yet had an opportunity to study the governor's statement fully," said McNutt. "Cut from first glance I would say that whether or not this ac tion is to materially aid Mooney depends entirely on the interpretation placed on the second paragraph. "It will be noted that the following phrase is used : "I take this action at this time In order that all persons in this state and elsewhere may be assured that the fullest consideration will be given to this case by the executive and the Judicial branches of , the government of California.' If the governor means by this that the executive branch will take steps toward securing a new trial. I think the governor's attitude is a most fair one." Depuiy City Attorney TomUnson is looking into the legal angles of the pro posal of the city to take over the tracks of the old United Railways and issue therefor public utilities certificate!. The question as to the legal status of the city has arisen from the negotiations now going forward looking to-a possible acquirement of the electric line by the city. The road, if taken over, would be put into shape to carry passengers to and from the industrial section of Linn ton. According to the provisions of the city charter, the city la empowered to take over and operate any public utility. Issu ing therefor certificates which shall not be an obligation against the city. Mayor Baker has arranged for a meet ing between officials of the North Bank and others for a Joint conference at the city hall Monday, at which time the val uation of the electric line, now the nroo- erty of the North Rank road, will be gone into. Commissioner Dan Kellaher will investigate the financial phase of the question and Commissioner Mann will look Into the traffic end.
