the capacity of the- Pacific Car &
Foundry (company's plant here, and also
that of the plant at Seattle, to' meet
the demand for new cars which will
follow the- revival of business., during
the current year." .1
Uevelopment of the millions of acres

takings of the next decade, second only
to the Irrigation of arid lands in the
two states..
"Clearing- of logged-off land could bej
more economically accomplished it it
were possible to organize districts
among holders of these lands similar to
drainage and Irrigation districts." said
Twohy. 1 "The districts could be bonded
to pay for clearing the land of stumps
and building roads, and the cost spread
ever aj period of years. This work
could be accomplished in shorter time
and at less expense by a properly
equipped construction corporation than
by. individual effort on the part of
small holders." " ""

P.) How Lofie Louise Peete gave
alleged conflicting statements to
relatives of Jacob C. Denton regard
ing the latter's whereabouts while
Denton'a body was lying secreted in

today was regarded as the most
damaging'evidence yet introduced in

Mrs. Ida Aument, niece of the slain
man, testified that Mrs. Peete asked her
not to bring her uncle's disappearance
to the attention of the police, and that
Mrs. Peete urged her not to go to Den
ton's bank to inquire about his checks.
Mrs. Peete, according to the witness.
said she had permission to sell Den
ton's home. The prosecution will at
tempt to prove by other witnesses that
Mrs. Peete did not have permission to
sell the house, and that the reason she
did not want inquiries made at the
bank was because she had cashed two
forged checks on Denton's account
The bloodstained noose with which
Denton's body was dragged to the base
ment after he had been killed was to be
introduced in evidence today.
great; crowds curious
Mrs. Peete's nebulous narrative con
cerning the possibility that Denton had
been murdered by a mysterious "Span
ish woman" with whom the defendant
said he had quarreled, was related on
the witness stand today by detectives
to whom Mrs. Peete told the story fol
lowing her arrest.
Judge Willis, who is presiding at the
trial, is considering barring from the
street outside the hall of justice huge
crowds which gather there daily to see
Mrs.' Peete as she Is taken from the Jail
to the courtroom. About 3000 were on
hand yesterday.

in the cellar of a customer. He was
later sent to the emergency hospital.

MRS
INTER-COASTAL SHIP
RATE WAR IN SIGHT
Withdrawal of the United Ameri
can steamship lines from the inter
coastal conference, with the Isth
mian line now on the outside and
the Luckenbach steamship line
ready to withdraw at any time, a
rate war is in sight for the' eight
lines plying between Pacific Gulf
and Atlantic ports.
Local shipping interests are greatly
interested in the outcome and the re
sult in a matter of grave concern. The
rate on general commodities coast to
coast castbound, runs close to $11 a
ton on conference rates. With the three
big private operators out of the confer
ence and free to act, a drop of 20 per
cent, is looked for within a short time.
FIFTY TESSELS INVOLTEH v
The intercoastal conference originally
embraced eight lines, operating about
50 steamships. These embraced the
United American line formerly the
American-Hawaiian, the Luckenbach
line. Pacific Mail. Matson Navigation
company, Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific.
North Atlantic & Western. Swayne Sc.
Hoyt Isthmian f line and the Williams-
Diamond company.
Of the lines involved the Luckenbach
is probably the largest operating con
cern under private ownership. Five ves
sels are now running to the . Pacific
coast and the company has 10 others
which are available if business demands.
The Isthmian line is - handled at San
Francisco by K. C. Evans and the Port
land end by Norton, Lilly. C D. Ken
nedy, agent for the latter line, is now
in San Francisco at a meeting of the
conference.
Steamship men are of the opinion that
five of the eight lines will be eliminated
and that the coast-to-coast business will
shortly be handled by the Luckenbach.
Isthmian and United American lines.
Out of the conference and away from
the shipping board the three competing
lines will have a free hand to bid for
both east and westbound business.
LIKES AFFECTED
Of the lines affected by the move at
the conference only the Pacific Mail and
the Matson lines do not touch at Port
land. Swayne & Hoyt, Williams-Diamond
and the Atlantic, Gulf and Pa
cific call only on order when sufficient
cargo offers.
Trouble in the conference started on a
question of rates on shipments moving
from the Orient via the Panama canal
to Gulf ports and the Atlantic side. The
big question of in transit shipments via
steamship and rail lines put the Ad
miral and North China lines up to a
question of rates or no business. These
lines are operating shipping board boats.

Repeal Prolii Law
Or See Revolution,
Says Kansas Judge
Denver, Colo.. Jan. 25. (I. N. S.)
The- present wave of legislation curbing
the, liberties of the people must be
stopped 'while there is yet time if the
United States is to avoid a. serious revolution,-"
Judge John O. ' Pollock of the
Kansas federal district court declared
here today.
"Repeal of the eighteenth amendment
and other prohibition measures is abso
lutely necessary, or we will face a rev
olution that may destroy all the ctaer
ishd institutions of the country," Judge
Pollock said. ."Men cannot continue to
obey prohibitory laws and retain their
liberty and contentment of mind.
"Many people believe that such a
thing as a revolution in America is im
possible, but I want to say that it can
come just as quickly and just as terri
fyingly in our land as it did in Russia.
And oppressive laws will bring it about."
Judge Pollock declared that the wave
of crime in Denver, Kansas City, Chi
cago and other large communities was
due to the elimination of the public sa
loon. "I do not uphold the saloon as it was
formerly conducted," he said. "But the
properly conducted saloon would be in
finitely preferable to the present system
which produces the; skulking bootlegger,
the secret whiskey! distiller and the
home brewer, all handling and dispens
ing a product that reeks with crime, dis
ease and death."

Five officially designated speakers
for, and f iye against the Staples
teachers' tenure bill will be heard
before the Multnomah delegation
meeting in Joint session on Monday
next at 8 p. m. No other speakers
will be heard.
The rules of combat which will govern
promise the peppiest verbal battle of the

Toad of teachers who came up to have
their say when the tenure bill' was up
for consideration two years ago.
Gordon of Multnomah gave notice that
he intends to offer an amendment to the
Staples bill which would provide in substance-
that all teachers coming under
the act be required to pass an examina
tion every five years, which amendment
would abolish life certificates.
It is expected that the speakers at
the meeting of Monday night will tell
what they think of the Gordon amend
ment. '
Gordon also contended that, while it
had been charged that the boalrd of
directors of the Portland district was a
political body, it was also true that
the teachers were some politicians them
selves. And he gave notice that he
intended to) make the attempt to formu
late an amendment on the Staples, bill
which would give the public a ; say
about the conduct or. tne scnoois, as
well as the directors and the teachers.

After a lot of discussion and argument
for and against the bills, they were
referred to the judiciary committee of
