FEBRUARY 8, 1820.; HEARING ON RATE CUICTO tn DCI ICC ll 111 1.1 III III I II I : FOR CAR RIDERS Comp any Needs Aid, but Burden Must Not Be Put on Shoulders cf Workers, Commission Finds. j The hearinjr before the public i service commission of the Portland ' railway rate case . during the last : week, developed into an inquisition as to moans of relieving the ear riders of the entire burden of main taining the transportation corporation. Little debate as to whether or not the company was entitled to Increased fares occurred the utility presented Its exhibits, the Newell report was sub mitted and commission engineers and auditors laid their reports" before the commission. Limited discussions and Interrogations, of course, were thrown Into the deliberations, and J. p. Newell, the predominating figure at the hearing. ' explained hi report, but practically I arnVMrY T1AW rilFfl - In a 1laniia. aj el on of means of solving permanently Chairman Butchel directed testimony along those lines. JtlBER IS BLED No one denied that the car rider Is bled white, nor that he is entitled to relief from the burdensome position of producer of all Income of the corpora tion. Newell testified that the rider ahould be given relief from bridge tolls and maintenance of tracks. Hopnon de clared a charge Is essential. Klmmel pointed out that 7 per cent of the aver age man's lnonme Is paid into the cof fers of the car company, whereas others benefit equally, If not more, from main tenance in Portland of a rapid transit system. Levlngs' entire testimony was an appeal for relief for the car rider. He suggested that bridge tolls, be re moved, that the city take the tracks and that city employes, who are not now compelled to pay fare, be charged for their rides. If essential that the car company have Increased revenue, he proposed even that the city might be required to make up the difference after j various fixed charges were removed j from the expense account of the utility. It was even suggested that the car j Company be made tax free a laby I rlnthene task at best If necessary, to ; lower the transportation cost. : BATS COMPANY EFFICIENT Relief from payment of bridge tolls and. maintenance of tracks would not !n themselves, engineers testified, fully 'make up the defici that company fig ures Indicate it Is facing. Newell testi fied that the company is efficient, that It Is questionable if a great sum might be cut from the cost of operation and tendency to burden the shoulders of the general public, who. It was argued, de rived benefit from the railway company approximating those of the car rider. The business man's caponiers and em ployes are transported to and from the city, it was pointed out. by the car com pany. Without the company their profits would slump enormously, W. F. Woodward stated. Property owners are also beneficiaries of -the existence of a . transportation corporation. witnesses asserted. In the increased valuation placed -on contiguous land. One property owner stated that the first question asked by a prospective purchaser .Is Have you good car service?" If the answer is negative, the purchaser drops negotiations. SEEK RELIEF FOB RIDER The entire hearing was an apparent effort 10 find relief for the car rider. If expense of the company could -not , be curtailed and service maintained. If more passengers could not be secured, if ' no other way could be found to shave( i the expense or add to the revenue, the ! discussion invariably returned to means i cf throwing the cost onto the general I public. The- overshadowing anxiety to relieve the car rider exhibited at the hearing Indicates that the commission's order may attempt to remove part of the coat from the heavily taxed rider. It would be far from surprising If measures drawn for that' purpose are found on the May ballot Grey Denounced by Lewis for Meddling In U. S. Pact Fight Chicago, Peb. 7.-(L ST. S.) Viscount Grey of England was pictured as a "meddling international busybody" and his stand for the Lodge reservations o the peace treaty as "the decision of Great Britain that the reservations would play Into her hands," by former Senator James Hamilton Lewis upon his return from Washington today. Lewis asserted that at the White House and in congress friends of Presi dent Wilson resented the conduct of the British ambassador. "Viscount Grey In interfering In Amer ican politics," 'declared Lewis, "com mitted an offense now equal to that which England , charged against our minister, Phelps, under Cleveland, who, ivhiiA nn a. visit to this country, ex pressed his sympathy for the Gladstone : that a particular case did not put an position In his home rule fight for Ire- J obligation on the United States, It could cation that they stand any better chance of . acceptance today. POWER IN CONGRESS How far the president is witling to go on Article X6 indicated clearly by his acceptance of the Hitchcock reservation on this point, which reads : "That the advice mentioned in Article X of the covenant of the league, which the council may give to the member nations as to the employment of their naval and military forces. Is merely ad vice which each member nation la free to accept or reject, according to the con science or judgment of Us then existing government and in the United States this advice can only be accepted by action of the congress at the time In being, con gress alone under the constitution of the United States having power to declare war." This does not reject the obligation un der Article X, but leaves to the congress In power at the time any particular case arising under the right to decide about the means to be employed to fulfill such obligation aa may exist. In other words, if congress should decide land." H HITCHCOCK'S RESER VAT10NS ARE FAVORED (Continued From Ptf Ou) Cleveland Food Prices Drop Cleveland. Ohio, Feb. 7. (U. P.) The drop In the foreign exchange market was reflected here today in the easing off of retail prices of a large line of foodstuffs. Eggs sell off 8 andJlO cents on the dozen. Vegetables, meats and fruits showed de cided reactions. Butter was the only staple to resist the downward trend. add, therefore, that I have once more gone over the reservations proposed by yourself, the copy of which I rettfrn L herewith, and am glad to say that i can accept .them as they stand. ASSOCIATES TRUSTED , "I have never seen the slightest rea son to doubt the good faith of our asso ciates in the war, nor even had the slightest reason to fear that any nation would seek to enlarge our obligations tinder the covenant of the League of Nation, or to seek to commit us to lines of action which, under our consti tution, only the congress of the United States can, in the last analysis, decide. "May I suggest that, with regard to the possible withdrawal of the United States, It would be wise to give to the president the right to act upon any res olution of congress in the matter of withdrawals? In other words, It would seem to be permissible and advisable that any resolution giving notice of with drawal should be a joint rather than a concurrent resolution. I doubt whether the president can be deprived of his veto power under the constitution, even with his own consent The use of a joint resolution "would permit the president, who is, of course, charged by the con stitution with following the policy, to merely exercise a voice in saying whether so important a step as withdrawal from the League of Nations should be ac complished by a majority or by a two thirds vote. The constitution Itself, pro- refuse to authorize the use of armed force, even though the league ad vised it. COOPERATION URGED Senator Hitchcock's reading of the i letter to the Democratic senators at to day's conference was followed by an unanimous agreement to go Into the senate Monday and cooperate in every possible way with Senator Lodge when he asks that the treaty be taken up. Democrats. Hitchcock said', will vote with the Republicans to suspend the rules, that the treaty may come up; they also will support the motion Lodge is expected to make to recommit the treaty to the foreign relations commit tee with Instructions to report it back at once. This motion is designed to remove the cloture which applied last session,. Lodge said today he probably will have a meeting of the foreign relations committee Tuesday and report the treaty back the same day. Democrats did not attempt at today's session to formulate more definite plans than those above referred to. Hitchcock saldthey .could not until they know definitely what Lodge is going to do. He indicated another conference may be heft to decide on later action. HOW THEY VOTED At today's session several Democrats spoke in favor of ratification without reservations ; others urged mild reser vationo and two others Smith of Geor gia and Pomerene. Ohio urged accept ance of thg Lodge reservations. Boll) Smith and Pomerene voted for Lodge's program last session. Irreconcilable Republicans failed to hold their meeting today as scheduled. They have virtually been assured that no attempt will, be made to Impose clo ture and with that assurance they said It would not be necessary for them to meet. Mild reservationists met and drew up CHAMBER VOTES AGAINST ZONING Result Shows 270 Opposed and 65 for City Planning Com mission Measure. vlding that the legislative body was to j,hT V vv .uuuuum.. ,., i of Article X reservation, which they submitted to Lodge. They urged Lodge to accept one of them as part of his program when he presents rewervations next week. Lodge agreed to submit the proposals to those Republicans who are standing pat on the Lodge reservations and to abide by their decision. The mild reservationists assured Lodge that in any efforts to compromise in the fu ture they will deal with him. They will not, they said, negotiate with the Demo crats nor fornr a coalition with them at any time. be consulted in treaty making and hav ing prescribed a two-thirds vote in sUch cases it seems to me that there should be no unnecessary departure from the method there Indicated. APPROVAL BY CONGRESS "I see no objection to a frank state ment that the United States Can accept a mandate with regard to any territory In Article XIII, part one, or any other provision of the peace treaty, only by the direct authority and action of the congress of the United Statea "I hope, my dear senator, that you will never hesitate to call upon me for any assistance that I can render in this or any other public matter. "Cordially and sincerely yours, "WOODROW WILSON." In giving .out the text of the letter for publication. Senator Hitchcock said, "The president's letter, dated January 26, was called forth by a letter which I wrote him on the evening of the day In which the bi-partisan conference in Senator Lodge's office came so near to agreeing to a reservation on Article X. ' The reservations which the president refers to as mine were the five reso lutions which I presented to the senate November 19. after they had been ap proved by the Democratic caucus. In the senate they, received 41 votes." READY FOR FINISH FIGHT With the president's cordial and whole-hearted acceptance and approval of his stand on reservations, Hitchcock Is prepared, he Indicated tonight, to go Into the senate to battle to the fin ish against acceptance of any reserva tion on Article X which runs counter to the president's position. This means that Hitchcock will have to fight to keep men, within his own party In line, fcr among the Democrats there are those who Want - the Lodge program adopted. The president's undeviatlng adherence to his position on Article X does not in crease the hopes of ratification, senators said. But his willingness to accept the Hitchcock reservations will put the Re publicans in the position as turning down a definite proposal from the president. Democrats said, if the supporters of the Lodge program refuse to take the Hitch cock reservations. These reservations were once rejected and there is no lndi- Members of the Portland Chamber of Commerce are opposed to the proposed plan to establish restrictive building zones throughout the city as outlined by the City planning commission. Tabulation of the vote, which closed at noon Saturday, showed 270 votes against the measure and 65 In favor of it. The subject was debated by the Mem bers' forum of the chamber at its weekly luncheon last Monday and balloting has beer going on throughout the week. Only about one-tenth of the 8200 mem bers of the chamber voted on the meas ure. J. P. Newell represented tlje city planning commission as a witness to the counting of the ballots ; Roger Sinnott appeared for the Portland Realty board and other opponents of the ordinance, and H. B. Van Duzer and D. H. Ed wards represented the Chamber of Com merce. A committee of the realty board was appointed several weeks ago to make an investigation of the ordinance and the work accomplished by the city plan ning commission. At a recent meeting of the board this committee presented an adverse report and the board went on record as opposed to the ordinance. The principal objections raised by the realty board were based on the alleged unscientific methods pursued by the framers. It was declared by opponents in the debate that certain provisions of the measure would tend to protect the interests of large estates rather than those of small home owners. Preparation of the ordinance has been under way for 16 months and has cost the city over , $16,000. The measure is now before the council, but a movement which has the Indorsement of Commis sioners Pier, Mann and Barbur would pass the decision as to its adoption up to the people at the next regular elec tion. Intense Interest In the zoning ordin ance has been aroused among all classes of business men and property owners. Proponents of the measure emphasize its benefits to home owners as preventing the. intrusion of residence districts by manufacturing plants, garages, laun dries and other undesirable neighbors. Similar protection would be afforded by the ordinance to industrial sections of the city. Opponents of the ordinance declare that they are not so much op posed to the theory Involved in the ordinance as to the methods pursued by the planning commission. PROSECUTION BRANDS REDS AS ASSASSINS (Con tinned From Pace One) Men Qff -Stranded Shifr Still Adrift Rockford, Maine, Feb. 7. (U. P.) The 10 men of the crew of the stranded steamship Pelias, which went aground off Clllcy reef, 20 miles south of here, were still adrift, "somewhere off the coast or Maine," atcording to radio messages received here early tonight. , Bandits Rob Near Brer Saloon Detroit. Feb. 7. (I. N. S.) Five armed bandits today entered the near-beer saloon of George Elckorn, lined 45 cus tomers up against the wall and escaped with $2000 taken from the cash register. Thier Takes Bathtub Compton, Cal., Feb. 7. (U. P.) Some thorough burglar, equipped with trucks, stole everything movable from the first story of the Compton ranch while the boss was asleep upstairs. He took even the bathtubt an well as I would like to before making my statement.". He added, however, that he would make the opening statement Monday morning. Immediately after the adjourn ment, he left with two Investigators for Central !a to study Uie scene of the shootings. COURT IS CEJfSOR Cautioning the jurors again about re ceiving any information of the case, ex cept in the courtroom. Judge Wilson said that while they might have reading matter, such as newspapers and maga zines, any other matter would be care fully censored by the court This afternoon the court signed an or der designating Dr. Donald A- Nichol son, alienist of Seattle, to examine and inquire Into the mental condition of Lo ren Roberts, one of the defendants, whose defense, It Is said, will be Insan ity. Roberts, Proeecutor Allen said In his statement, had voluntarily surren dered to the authorities and made a complete confession not only as to the actual shooting, but as to the plot. R. C. Dohn, state engineer of Olym pia ; Sidney Gallagher, assistant en gineer ; O. M. Bevans, a photographer, and Sheriff John Berry of Lewis county, the prosecution announced this after noon, will be its witnesses to identify all the maps and plots that are to be Introduced eariy next week as evidences It la not believed now that the jury will go to Centralis, as neither side Is anxious for it The defendants would have to accompany the Jurors on this trip, and Judge Wilson is known to con sider the proposition Inadvisable. SOT TO VIEW SCENE As things now stand, the prosecution will open Its case ' Monday morning-, either immediately after court convenes or after Vanderveer gives his statement. Some 262 witnesses have .been subpoe naed, and if all are heard, at 'least three weeks will be required for their hear ing, it is said. The defense will then put Jn Its ease, and with over 150 witnesses to be called, two mor eweeks of the trial on this phase is being forecasted. -A verdict is not expected in less than six weeks. STUDY OF FACES Throughout the speech, the defendants, ranged on the long bench back of their counsel, and facing the Jury, offered in teresting study. All listened Intently. Some smiled cynically, some nervously. Some listened to the statement studiously It seemed, and others evidenced apparent unconcern. The actions of Loren Roberts were most noticeable, gazing Intently at the prosecutor, his chin cupped in his left hand, the muscles of his face and throat working convulsively, he was very pale. Eugene Barnett sat with a smile, almost a sneer, throughout Elmer Smith, one of the defendants, paid close attention, and when the prosecutor spoke of 'his alleged part in the conspiracy, he took many notes. GUILTY SATS ALLEX "Incredible as it may, appear that a crime so heinous and evincing so much moral depravity should be perpetrated, nevertheless, the evidence will irresisti bly lead to the conclusion that the pris oners are guilty of th offense charged," said Allen, in opening. The prosecutor considered the alleged conspiracy and crime in three divisions, outlining them as follows: First things leading tq formation of the parade, line of march and arrangements of parade divisions; second occurrences at I. W. W. hall, and third, plans made by the de fendants preparatory to firing on the parade, their conversations, how armed and where stationed. Considerable , attention was devoted to Attorney Elmer Smith, whom the prose cutor accused of representing the I. W. W. at Centralla, of being In the hall just prior to the shooting, and of ad vising the other defendants as to their course of action. "The- boys were halted and marking time when the first shots were fired." Allen said. "Everyone thought at first fire crackers Were being discharged, but it was only a moment until they were showered with lead from four directions, and which was concentrated on the sec tion of the street where they were standing." FUSILLADE OF SHOTS The prosecutor told of women and chil dren being in the streets, watching the procession, and of the automobiles filled with Red Cross nurses and other women not far from where the shots were fired. Not less thah 50 shots, and possibly 150 were fired, he said. The shooting came from four different places, Allen continued, the I. W. W. hall, the window of a hotel across the i street and from another hotel situated some distance up the street and from Seminary Ridge. 1000 feet away. Warren O. Grimm, whom the defend- ' ants are specifically charged with kill ing, Allen asserted, was shot by one of the defendants posted in the Avalon hotel. Two' others, killed, said, were not shot from the hall because of the protection of intervening buildings. On the ridge, he continued, were Loren Roberts and Bert Bland, two of the defendants, and a third man, Ole Hanson, who has not yet been captured. Arthur McEIfresh, one of the victims, according to Allen, was shot from the ridge. Discussing the conspiracy, the prose cutor said that a meeting was held in I. W. W. hall Sunday, November 9, when It was determined that the participants- Bhould arm after statements were made that the ex-seridcepsen were planning to raid the hall armistice day. "ONLY DEFENDANTS KNEW" "Whatever information the defendants received regarding any raid came from the defendants themselves," said Allen, "or some one in sympathy with them, who gave the Information In order to have some defense for the shooting they were preparing to do. The evidence will disclose that none of the ex-service men had anjj- such Information." Allen concluded with reference to the pari taken by Elmer "Smith. That the attorney knw of plane for the- shooting, and aided in them, Allen predicted that the evidence would amply prove. Con versations with the defendant Britt Smith, then secretary of the L W. W., In Centralla, in regard to the attack, were described, and as Elmer Smith left the hall, Allen said, he gave in structions to Britt and the others "to do their duty." ' w TAKEN ON LOOKS ' The Jury was finally completed Sat urday noon , when James A. Ball, black smith of Montesano, was selected as al ternate without questioning by either side, "I'll take the Juror on his looks," said Vanderveer, as Ball entered the enclos ure, and for once the prosecution agreed with him.' Bail was the last man of. the venire that had been summoned for the trial, to be called for examination. , The other alternate, AJ R. Johnson, former cigar, dealer of Hoqulam, was selected Friday afternoon. Twelve veniremen were examined Saturday morning. The total number questioned to complete the jury was 123 men and women. Attorneys for the prosecution tonight said that E. C Dohn, state engineer, Olympla, will be the first witness to testify. He will be followed on the stand by Sidney Gahlagher, city engineer, Cen tralla, Sheriff John F. Berry of Lewis county and C. M. Bevans, photographer. These men will Identify plats and maps of the scenes of the shooting.
