Some Exempt Seattle Lugs Spokane Into Rate Case Fight By Misrepresentation Spoksne, Wash., June 3. The first action against the Columbia basin rate case to be taken by any Spokane inter est was started Monday, when the agri cultural bureau of ; the Spokane Cham ber of Commerce jwent on record as opposing a preferential grain rate to Portland and referred the question to the freight rate bureau for their action at the hearing in Portland. July 21. , This action developed as a result of a communication from Seattle to the man agement of the 'Centennial mills here. The letter set forth that Portland was asking for a preferential of 2 cents a hundred on carload , shipments of wheat and of S cents on shipments of less than a carload. This preferential is asked in the territory of the Colum bia basin as defined by the Portland petitioners. , This is the only issue so far in which the Puget Sound cities have been able to line up any Spokane interest against Portland in the Columbia basjn rate controversy. Spokane will be represented by At torney J. B. Campbell and Traffic Ex pert C. O. Bergan at the Portland hear ing. The facts in this grain issue have not been thoroughly studied and Bergan will make no statement until he has the question digested, j V " That Seattle influence would seek ' to line up against the Columbia river rate case , any Spokane interest responsive IEHS ISIST 01! MOST Wilson Calls Conference of Brit ish, French Italian and Amer ican Peace Treaty Experts. Intentions Are to Make Certain Modifications Found Necessary for Huns to Meet Terms. Paris, June 3. Following a meet ing at the Hotel Crillbn this morn ing, attended by President Wilson and the entire personnel, the Ameri can peace mission called an Immedi ate conference of British, French, Italian and American experts in an endeavor to secure a compromise agreement, whereby a concerted front may be presented to the Ger man demands for amendment of the peace treaty. The object is to in sure an early signing of peace. President Wilson, who presided at the meeting, declared : "Time is now' the greatest essential. We must get the world back to work. It is necessary that America mediate the mooted problems, secure an agreement with the French and British and then insist that Germany accept the treaty." The British and American delegates are demanding radical changes in the treaty. France is opposing. Italy is sanctioning America's action. The United States commission is thereby faced with the greatest task it had un dertaken, but all five members are hope ful that an agreement will be reached in the near future.

From 8 -o'clock Wednesday morning, when ' they are , due to arrive, till 1 o'clock the next ! morning, the 278 men of the Twentieth engineers, forestry, will meet fatted cows at every turn. The foresters were among the earliest to leave for France and the men have done hard and tedious work of the sort that didn't bring medals but that count ed vitally in winning the war. The boys will be met at the station by their relatives and friends as well as by a band furnished by the reception committee. From the station they will march to the Portland hotel where they will have breakfast and hear official words of welcome from Acting Mayor Bigelow. The boys will then have the morning to themselves. For each meal after breakfast the boys wHI congregate at the Liberty Temple; going to the Portland for lunch and the Benson for dinner. In the evening there will be a dance at The Auditorium to which all men in uniform are invited. Girls will be on hand for the boys who do not know any in the city. LThose with girl friends here are invited to bring them. When the men pull out of the station at 1 o'clock they will be bound for Camp Lewis for discharge. Many will be on their way home from there by Wednesday evening and Thursday. to its appeals has been expected but that Seattle would feel compelled to resort to misrepresentation is a surprise to attorneys for the.ort and business in terests of Portland. Portland has asked in its petition before the interstate com merce commission for a preferential fa voring this city in terminal rates from the Inland Empire. But Portland has not asked for a preferential of 2 cents a hundred pounds on carload and S cents a hundred pounds on less than carload lots or for any other amount. The Inland Empire Shippers' league, the original petitioner in the Columbia river rate case, has not even designated a terminal but has asked for a rate based on the cost of transportation, j ; c It is rather startling, to those familiar with the contest, for recognition xf the Columbia; river water, grade that Se attle should- be able to win to its sup port any element of any Columbia river basin community, and especially - by such misstatement", of the facts as would only mislead ttrose who had en tirely failed to read the petitions filed by the Inland Empire Shippers league and port bodies and business organiza tions of Portland. Spokane's position hitherto has been that of neutrality In the action, and the Spokane petition in intervention ..as filed . some time ago simply states - that that , city wishes to have applied to it any, o-der reducing rates the - interstate -commerce commis sion may issue as a. result of the hear ing here July .-SI.
