The; plaintiff owned large tracts of
Umber in Columbia county, in the region
served by j the Columbia 6c Nehalem
itiver Railroad company, a logging road
extending, some 27 miles in Columbia
county. The railroad-company had filed
with the public service commission a
schedule of frefsht rates which was con
tested by the plaintiffs as to the rate to
be charged on lops. After a hearing the
commission 'fixed a rate on logs to 'which
the plaintiffs objected, instituting suit
in the Marion county circuit court in an
effort to have the rate order set Aside.
In their complaint the plaintiffs al
leged that the commission had no ripht
to conslderithe amortization of the rail
road property ' or the discount on the
bonds, in fixing the rate to be charged
for carrying logs but that this rate
should be based solely on a sufficient
return to fia'y si fair interest on the in

G. O. P. CONVENTION FORECAST
Chicago, May I 10. (U. P.) The selec
tion of Senator I Henry Cabot Lodge as
temporary chairman of the national Re
publican convention was predicted here
today. ' i
It was believed the senator, who led
the treaty, reservations fight, would be
chosen by . the committee on arrange
ments without a dispute. President Wil
son's message to Oregon Democrats urg
ing that the League of Nations be made
the campaign . Issue ' was . believed to

Committee .will meet here May 31 hear
contesting delegations.
Six women attended the national com
mittee meeting here today. Mrs. Frank
Dobson of. Iowa and Mrs. A. H. Breug
german of Missouri were proxies for
reguiar committeemen. Other women
were proxy members also.-
Seating arrangements for the conven
tion bothered the committee. Claims to
convenient locations were urged by all
delegations. A novelty in seating' plans
suggested was to chart the floor in imi
tation of the geography of the United
States and seat the delegations accord
ing to the map. 1 '
Committee members,"" accustomed to
the handling1' of large sums of money,
got ' a sensation . when they found the
cost of arranging the Coliseum here for

JOHNSON MEN CHALLENGE
TO PEACE LEAGUE DEBATE
The- Johnson, campaign managers
want j to debate the League of Nations
issue j with all comers, and also to dis
cuss the merits and qualifications of
all Candidates In i comparison with
those : of Johnson, according to a gen
eral challenge , just issued by Sanfiefd
Macdonald, Johnson's Oregon manager.
In his challenge Macdonald contends
that the country in : the present presi
dential contest is ' confronted with ' "a
crisis comparable in importance to the
most serious ever presented to our peo
ple," land that "all right-thinking citi
zens place the good of the Union above
personal ambition, private interest or
pelf in , office " He says "there, is such
a wide diversion of opinion, "through
lack of authentic information upon the
personality of the candidates, their per
sonal ' and official records, and particu
larly j upon the proposed covenant of
the league of Nations, which strikes
at and affects the very fundamentals
of American governments in its do
mestic relations as ! well as its. rela
tions I with foreign governments," that
it is I "essential that the electorate of
this state, more pronouncedly than ever
before, cast its ballot understanding
and knowingly."
, Accordingly, in order that the great
est number of . people may be reached
between now and the date of the pri-
maryl election. May 21, Macdonald pro
poses "a series of Joint debates to be
held throughout the state, at times and
places to be mutually agreed upon, be
tween speakers representing Hiram W.
Johnson and any other candidate as
piring to the Republican presidential
nomination." '
The challenge is issued to the editors
the state and to the organizations
handling the . campaigns of other presi
dential candidates.

ACROSS STREET- HARMONIOUS
Springfield, 111.. May 10. (I. N.S.)
Contrasting the turmoil in - the Repub
lican j convention' just across the street,
state j Democrats in session here today
worked in perfect ; harmony as they
elected the following delegates-at-large
to. the San Francisco national conven
tion without instruction :
r Former Mayor Carter H. Harrison;
Chicago : former Governor Edward F.
Dunne: Robert Switser, Chicago; John
F. O'Malley, Chicago ; . Frank Quinn.
Peoria; Francis S.i Peabody, Dupage
county ; Congressman Henry T. Rai
ney ;i- National Committeeman Charles
Boeschensteiri, EdwardsviUe. "
' .United States Senator James. Hamil
ton Lewis, the chief speaker, was in
dorsed for ' vice presidential nominee,
following a unanimous Indorsement of
the Wilson administration, the peace
treaty and the League of Nations.
Efforts by Chicago's delegates to in
corporate a "wet" plank in the platform-failed.
This and the woman rep
resentation were the only ripples in
.' the convention. The women, who were
1 denied a place among the delegates-at
i large, were ameliorated in a measure
by being given considerable recogni
tion j in other ways. It was proposed
to permit them to have two presidential
electors, and this question was still
under dispute "during the early afternoon.

E
(Continued Prom Pace One)
' Grenfell as soon .as he arrived and con
1 tinued after the fire had been almost
extinguished, revealed, he said, that all
I the windows on the east side fire escape
; landing on the top floor were completely
! blocked with furniture. .
.' Firemen seeking- entrance to the fire
1 from this point, one of the closest avail
able, had great dlfticulty getting into
the building, and many pieces of . furni
ture were hurled from the windows o
the railroad tracks below.
As a result of this- condition, Grenfell
said that prosecution against the occu
pants of the building for violation of
the fire marshal's ordinance would be
started Immediately.
: "And if he doesn't we will," said Dep
uty Coroner Leo Goetch, who made an
investigation in connection' with the
death of Kamps. ' 1
t Grenfell said that Fireman Reise of
truck company 3 inspected the building
in March and ' found the fire escapes
blocked. He warned the manager of
KI vlrklntton. TlAtiiminer rfinr davn lter.
Grenfell declared, the firemen found
that the condition had been remedied. ;
; "We cannot- inspect these buildings
oftener than once in three months," said
Grenfell, "and as you see here, many
J things can be changed within that pe
riod, wnen 1 arrivea, tne winaows on
the escape at the top floor were impas
sibly blocked."
A: heavy firewall prevented the slight
est damage occurring to the plant of
the ; Central Door & Lumber company,
although the buildings adjoin, and the
fire! raged at its height directly against
this- fire wall. The Central Door side of
the i wall was not ever warm, although
some smoke got through.
