Public Service Commission of
Oregon Demands That Line

. f3lera. Jan. 21. Demanding that the
Pacific A Eastern- Railway continue
operation juntit the people of 'theterrl
lory4served" by the" utility T have been
given a bearing- on the matter, the pub
. Ho service commission of Oregon is con
: testing the Jurisdiction of the federal
'railroad administration over this In
trastate line.
An order promulgated by W. F.
Turner, receiver of the Pacific & East
ern, a. copy of which was sent to the
public service commission, pointedly sets
-fortli taat "Operation of the Pacific A
Eastern will cease at 8 p. m., January
; 0. 1919."
In a telerram addressed to Mr. Turner
t)i nmmlslnn informs the receiver that
a protest has been filed against the
"suspension order and intimates that the
'.commission will expect the order to
take the usual course, which Includes a
public hearing.
, ! . CommUilOB Opposes Plan
, .This telegram is supplemented by a
letter which reads as follows :
We do not accord with your order
or the attempt at its enforcement, for
the law certainly contemplates that the
patrons of the Pacific & Eastern rail-
way, as well as the citizens of Jackson
county and any other person or persons
interested, shall be heard, let alone such
a drastic order as proposed. Under your
" order you would preclude the commis
sion from exercising its Jurisdiction, and,
as we view it. that would result in cir
cumscribing both this tribunal and the
people of the districts served by this
railroad. ...
"Until a further showing and until
those interested, including the petition
ers, have their 'day in court,' the order.
is received for reference only, subject
to such further proceedings as may be
met In the premises."
: Claim Iadattrles Menaced
The protest which was filed by Sen
v ator C M. Thomas of Medford, in be- j
half of the patrons of the Pacific &
Eastern Railway, states that if the op
- eration of the road ceases It will mean
the absolute destruction of a number of
important Industries located along the
road and the complete Isolation of the
towns of Butte Fans and Eagle Point.
The road was primarily constructed,
so the protest says, for the purpose of
providing an outlet for an immense
-amount of timber tributary to the city
of Medford, and with the ultimate view
'of extending to Bend, thus providing an
"outlet for that vast territory east of the

Many Families Interested
On the strength of" these announced
plans extensive contributions were made
toward the construction of the . road.
Hundreds of families have located in
this territory since this line was put
Into operation and many Industries have
been established, all of which are de
pendent for existence upon the mainte
nance of operation by the. road.
Members of the public service com
mission, who cqntest the jurisdiction of
the federal , railroad administration in
Mils case, state that at least they should
be heard In an advisory capacity inas
much, as tho line is a strictly Intrastate
utility with both terminals in Oregon
They also contend that as a public util
ity it cannot cease to .serve the public
until its right to do so has been estab
lished at a hearing in which the people
have had a chance to present their side
of the case.
Wage Jurisdiction Denied
Salem, Jan. 23. The public service
commission, although claiming regul
tory powers over rates and service of
public utilities within the state of xOre
gon, denies, any jurisdiction over wage
disputes between capital and labor.
In a telegram sent to the Sumpter
Valley employes committee, in reply to
an appeal for assistance in settling the
wagei dispute which Is tying up opera
tions of the road, commission states:
"The commission does not have Juris
diction over labor warn differences.
Jurisdiction over rates and service. Since
government aid has been promised, see
no reason for commission to investigate.
Upon complaint as to rates or service
hearincr would be promptly held.
The appeal from the employes or tne
line set forth that the deadlock be
tween the employers and employes Still
exists in soite of the promised govern
ment aid in financing the operations of
the road.
Water District Created
Salem. Jan. 23. Notice has been re
ceived by the state water superintend
ent's office of the creation of the Upper
Langell Valley Irrigation district In

UTILITIES MARSHAL
DEFENSE FORCES
(Con tinned From Pass On)
bill was a subject of no litle concern in
their ranks.
"I had always assumed that the pub
lic utility commission had the right to
raise or lower rates of public utilities,"
stated Senator Huston in defending Tils
amendment. "If conditions were such
that a B-cent fare was too high, I had
assumed that the public service com
mission could reduce them. However,
after carefully investigating the situa
tion. I find that I have been mistaken
in the assumption. I find that a con
tract entered into between a municipal
ity and a corporation Is protected by
the constitution of the United States and
the rates specified therein cannot be
lowered. Under existing conditions these
rates can be raised, but not lowered.
Griffith Shows Fight
"This condition is indefensible. It is
not justified. It puts a club into the
hands of every Bolshevik in the country
X know public sentiment 'in this matter
and I know that unless some action is
taken to protect the interests of the pub
lic the people will take the matter Into
their own hands and wipe out the pub
lic service commission entirely."
Franklin T. Orifflth, president of the
P. B. L. & P. company, emphatically
disagreed with Senator Huston on the
point that the public service commission
did not possess the power to reduce
rates air well as raise them when con
ditions justified such actions.
"There is no case in existence to show
that the public service, commission can
not raise rates," declared Mr. Griffith.
"We have never contended that the state
of Oregon does not possess the power to
reguiate rates cnargea ny uuuues wiw-
In the state. No attribute of sovereignty
can ever leave the state. It can dele
gate the power to make contracts but
the power of the state is not involved.
. Higher Fares Indicated
"Fight it r Interrogated Mr. Griffith.
"Ivwould enjoin its enforcement on the
grounds of confiscation. You are otj
inviting a, condition of chaos, wretched
service and litigation by this bilL I
admit the power to regulate utilities, bat
not to confiscate." ' . .
Prospects of another raise in farea
on the Portland street railway lines were
held out by Mr. Griffith when he de
clared that the existing rates were not
adequate.
R A- Letter, attorney for the P. H
X & P. Co. . supported th contention
Rem EC.'
of Mr. Griffith that under existing law
the public service commission has power
to lower rates as well as to increase
them. This power, however, accordtfts
to Mr. Lelter. hinges upon tbs grant
at power from the state to the munici
pality and upon the language contained
in the contract between the municipality
and the corporation. Mr. Iiter cited
a number of decisions handed down by
the supreme court of the United States,
as well as by the district court of Ore
gon in support of his contentions.
Tacoma Case Cited
Mr. Lelter contended that notwith
standing the home rule laws of the state
of Oregon the municipality continues a
subordinate power and that -a clear, ex
pressed, specific way to regulate rates
was lacking in the Portland city charter.
John A. Laing of the Pacific Power &
Light company also appeared in behalf
of the public utilities, citing the case of
the. Tacoma streetcar situation as an ex
ample of what might be expected when
arbitrary laws dented utilities a rate
sufficient to meet existing conditions.
"This bill will emasculte the Oregon
public service -commission," declared
Judge Charles H. Carey of Portland,
who states that he appeared in behalf
of no corporation or client, but in behalf
of the people of the state of Oregon.
"It will really curtail the usefulness of
that commission. If we are to concede
that the commission is of no use. why
not abolish it entirely?
Public Utilities Loe Money
"One hundred and fifty-six million dol
lars are invested in public utilities in
Oregon," according to Judge Carey, who
asserted that nine out of ten of these
utilities are not able to pay a reason
able interest on their investments.
To the contrary he declared they are
facing desperate financial reverses and
some tribunal is needed to give them the
assistance which will permit them to
survive.
Ben Day, chief counsel for the South
ern Pacific, entered a protest in behalf
of his company, pointing out the fate
that had befallen the street railway sys
tem of Albany and intimating that a
similar fate might be in store for .the
systems of Salem and- Eugene in tithe
event an increasedWate of fare should
ever be found necessary and no- pro
vision existed whereby this relief could
be obtained. Even now, he declared,
these systems did not pay, their main
tenance under, present conditions being
possible only because of the other rev
enues of the Southern Pacific
Small Companies Protest
Charles E. Wells of Hillsboro, presi
dent of the Oregon local telephone as
sociation, entered a protest against the
bill in behalf of the' small, independent
telephone companies operating within the
state, and E. G. Robinson, president of
the Molalla Electric company at Canby.
.appeared in behalf of the owners of the
smaller utilities.
Senator 'Huston agreed to take the
amendment up in committee again in an
attempt ito arrive at some solution to
the problem which would satisfv th
public utilities as well as protect the
rignus or the people of the state.
HOOVER'S WORK DEFENDED
BY SENATOR HITCHCOCK
(Continued From Pace One)
stabbed in the back by his enemies on
this floor."
Replying to Senator Borah's charges
that packers were enabled to make in
ordinate profits because of the system
Hoover built up as food administrator,
Hitchcock declared the profits would
have been much greater had Hoover not
been in charge.
"Does ihe , senator deny the profits
were inordinate 7 asked 'Borah.
"I repeat, said Hitchcock angrily,
"that they would have been much higher
but lor Hoover."
"I deny it," said Borah.
"It's true," countered Hitchcock, de
claring Hoever will come out "vindi
cated completely."
"Any member of the senate who would
run against Hoover for president would
poll a much smaller vote," said Hitch
cock.
"I don't deny any senator would be
awe to raise a much smaller campaign
fund," said Borah.
Borah declared he had never attacked
Hoover's personal integrity, but the sys
tem he built up.
"I am not willing to vote $100,000,000
to the man who built such a system,"
said Borah.
Hoover Replies to Critics
Paris, Jan. 23. (I. N. S.) Herbert
Hoover, American representative on the
inter-allied food committee, replying to
criticism by members of the American
senate, issued the following statement
today :
"I apparently emerge In a new light
as a friend of the Chicago packers. At
the same time my mail brings a report
that Swift & Co. are blaming the food
administration for reducing their profits
$10,000,000 during the past year. I don't
imagine that the packers would appreci
ate a wide circle of such friends. '
"I notice, also, that I committed a
crime in holding the October Joint con
ference of farmers' representatives and
representatives of 40 small packers as
well as the big packers together with
delegates from allied governments for
the purpose of setting a price for ex
ports of pork that would give the Amer
ican farmer a square deal, insure equality
of distribution "and also protect th
small packers.
"We have even tried to secure the con
tinuance of these war arrangements
throueh the armistice nerinA an si tv.
opening of other markets, because the
American rarmer am ma duty and pro
duced the goods.
"If the American farmer and the small
dealer now feel that these arrange
ments are wrong it would be the great

VALUABLE LOOT IS
LOCATED IN ROOM
OF DEAD
Captain Circle and Two Detec
tives Spend Day Checking Over
Property; Trunk Not Touched.
VALUE ESTIMATED AT $5000
List Already Totals 386 Pieces;
Portland People Seek Chance
to Look Over Stolen Goods.
Captain Circle and two detectives
spent nearly all day Wednesday check
ing over the property found in the
room at 117 Lombard street of K. C
Lancaster, the burgler, killed at Second
and Alder streets Tuesday, but were
unable to finish the task. So far they
have checked on 386 pieces of property,
but still have one large trunk to go
through. Captain Circle said this
morning that he believed $a000 would be
a . very conservative estimate of the
value of the loot.
Sealskin coats, furs, muffs, silk bed
ding, silk clothes, silk In the bolt, ex
pensive jewelry of every description
high grade linen, first class wearing
Apparel, electric irons, oriental rugs,
Suitcases and silverware are among the
things contained In the lone list pre
pared by the police. So far none of
the property has been identified a hav
ing been stolen locally. Many of the
clothes found in the room bear Minne
apolis dealers' marks, which leads the
police to believe that the stuff was
stolen in the East. Other cities mentioned
besides Minneapolis are St Paul, Kan
sas City, St Louis and Chicago. Type
written lists of the stolen property are
to be sent to these cities by the police.
Ermine Coat It Is. Loot
So far no further identification of the
dead burglar has been made. The po
lice are still calling him E. C. Lancaster.
Following are a few of the things re
covered by the police as taken from the
list of Captain Circle:
White ermine fur coat no tailors
mark, worth probably $2000 ; pair of
natAnt lpathpr shoes, marked Minne
apolis; salad spoon engraved F. J, P.,
olive fork' engraved t., napum nng

ground ; mandolin. Irish linen table cloth
and napkins marked F. C. H.. 12 nap

four pillow cases and two doilies marked
F. H. C.
Many Seek to See Property
A large amount of the Jewelry recov
ered is engraved, but the police have
not had the time yet to decipher these
initials. They are "almost certain that
none of Lancaster's stuff came from
local homes, as none of It has tallied
so far with the description given of
local missing property. About 100 peo
ple called at police headquarters Wednes?
c"ay and this morning, asking to see the
property, but the police denied them
the privilege. "
As soon as the police have the prop
erty checked, the public wHl be notified
Nid those whose homes have been en
tered will be allowed to present their
claims in writlnc. Thoie who have lost
anything Jike the property found in Lan-
caster 8 room wui men De anowea m
look at articles that compare with
theirs. Owing to the value of the re
covered property, the police say they
cannot allow the general public to enter
their storeroom. . -
Believed Brother of Bandit
That E. C. Lancaster was a brother
of "Kansas City Blaokie," a notorious
train robber, and a member of his
brother's gang of outlaws and crim
inals, is the opinion of the Portland
police. t
"Kansas City Blackie," whose right
name was Roscoe Lancaster, had sev
eral brothers, all of whom had been In
trouble with the police of various East
ern cities, and newspaper clippings con
cerning the burial of the noted desper
ado were found In the pockets of the
man shot by the local detective. From
clothing and papers found in the pos
session of Lancaster the police learned
that he recently came to this city from
Minneapolis and St Louis.
CHANGES MA0E IN
SYNDICALISM BILL
(Continued From Pase One),
fecting labor that had come before, the
legislature. The Bolsheviks .were feed
ing on such legislation: The greatest
cause of discontent among" the ranks of
the unions was the charge that labor
could gain no recognition before the
legislatures of this and other states and
this was continually being 'fanned by
the contentions of the agitators that a
man who took office on the Republican
or Democratic tickets was a traitor to
the cause of labor.
Chairman Bean of the committee
asked the two men what they could sug
gest as a remedy, and Smith answered :
Smith Suggests Remedy
'"If the legislature." he said, "will pass
a' bfll against criminal syndicalism that

Mad Americas Worst Bolshevist
"The big mistake you men are mak
ing," he said, "is that you are .going on
the assumption that Bolshevism is being
recruited from the ranks of the foreign
born. That is not true ; the most violent.
ana tne most revolutionary radical you
have In the country today is the mad
American, and the maioritv of these
fellows are Americans and they are
maa. j.
Following the hearings the commit
tees went into the u amendments sug
gested by Smith and Home.
These in brief were that the bill should
be made to prohibit the "advocacy,
teaching or affirmative suggestion" of
criminal syndicalism and sabotage. The
amendment was In the addition of the
word "affirmative." Another was the
'prohibition of the advocacy, teaching
or suggestion of crime or physical vio
lence as a means of industrial or politi
cal reform. The amendment here was
In the addition of the word "physical."
Another amendment added the words
"or for profit" to the clauses prohibit
ing the advocacy of violence or other
acts for purposes of. bringing about
political or industrial reform.
As the law read it said It should be
unlawful- to "advocate, teach, or sug
gest the commission of crime, violence
or the commission, of any unlawful act
as a means to accomplish Industrial or
political . ends, change or ..revolution"
and the amendment adds the words "or
for profit" it being the contention of
Smith and Home that this brings "with
in the scope of the act any employer
who might foment industrial unrest an
brlng about the destruction of property,
owned by him, to advance his cause by
the creation of public sentiment in his
favor and advance his contentions.
These amendments were ' adopted by
the committee and the bill came before
the house for final action with them
written into the measure. .
Proposal Made to
Merge Positions of
Commissioners
Salem, Jan.' 23. George T. Cochran.
water commissioner, and Percy Cupper,
state engineer, appeared before the con
solidation committee Wednesday after
noon, to ask that the position of witter
Cpmmissioner of the first district! be
merged with the second district and the
official be known as the water superin
tendent to be appointed by the gov
ernor at the expiration of Cochran's
present elective term.
The two officials explained that one
official could handle the work now un
der way. and that it was contemplated
that the state engineer should take over
the duties of the office as soon as -the
remaining adjudications f water rights
were finished.
They represented that the consolida
tion would mean a saving in money of
about $4500 a year. The committee took
the suggestion into its keeping, for con
siderable in connection with the general
consolidation program which it now has
ineubating.
