II. Lothrop.' manager, of the Portland Traffic and Transportation association. Lothrop was one of the principal wit nesses at an interstate commerce com mission .hearing, 'which closed here to day, on the application of the railways for a freight rate, on transcontinental shipments which would give them an even break In competition with ; water carriers..'-. r HEARING IS FI5ISHED j j The hearing closed soon after the noon hour and W. A. Disque, Interstate com merce commission examiner, left this afternoon for , San Francisco, where a hearing on other phases of the same case will be held Thursday. Other hear ings will be held at Reno, Nev. ; phoe nix. Aria. ; Atlanta, New Orleans and New York city, where a final hearing is scheduled to open January 18. Following the hearings briefs must be prepared by attorneys for the railroads and for the shippers and the final dis position of" the case would not be reached before the late summer or au tumn 'of 1922. Lothrop stated. The forenoon session of the hearing was taken up with testimony from Loth--rOp, P. C. Patterson of the W. P. Fuller company. K. H. Parker, of the Marshall Wells Hardware company and K. N. Wetnbaum of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. The witnesses declared that water .competition does cut in on the transcontinental shipping of the rail . roads and that a return to pre-war re lationships would prove beneficial both to the roads and to Pacific coast busi ness interests. KOAD FLEA FOCGHT " Opposition to the application of trans continental railways for permission to put into effect a lower freight rate on shipments from points in Atlantic coast states to Pacific coast terminals was raised by representatives of Intermoun- mm oumiiYTBB unci coui Kb uio licax ui. The. railroads ask a rate to Pacific , coast terminals which would alloyr them to compete on equal terms with water transportation via me ranaiiu canai. . Secretary Meacham of the Baker Cham- oer or vommerce id. w. r Tencn, pres ident of the Basche-Sage Hardware com pany of Baker, and R. H. Bollman, a "Walla Walla ..manufacturer, were the principal opponents of the proposed rate. Application of the lower rate on trans continental shipments to Portland than to points in Eastern Oregon would put the Jobbers and wholesale men of Baker and other towns in that section out of business, Meacham declared. Evidence given at the hearing showed that the intermountaln interests were not opposed to a lower freight rate, . provided they 4re given an equal advantage with ter minal points in the proposed new rate. Low freight rates to Pacific coast terminals In effect prior to the war were annulled when water competition ceased nun uid uaiuuor Ul Biuiiiis iruui uic Pacific to the Atlantic for naval and military transport duty. Since the , re turn of the roads from the government to their owners and the reestabllahmenT of competitive dater transportation, the rail .carriers have asked that the pre war coastal rate be agan made effective. HfcAEIXGS ABE HELD . .. : Previous hearings on"lhis application have been held at Salt Lake City. Spo kane and other points in, the Intermoun- lam territory. At the hearing held Monday J. N. Teal 1 " appeared as attorney, for the Portland Traffic and Transportation association Witnesses called were L. A. Lewis of Allen & Lewis, H. B.

Burroughs, representatives of the standing rate com mittee of the transcontinental rate bu reau, presented the carriers' reasons for " asking the lower rate. The Union Pa cific railway was represented 'by II. A. Ecandrett and the Northern Pacific by B. W. Scandrett. LARGE CCT IS ASKED An indication of the sweeping nature of the reduction asked In the application : of the roads is Indicated by the prevail ing and proposed rates on iron and steel J shapes and bars. The present rail rate on these products, according to Secre ! tary Lothrop of the traffic and trans- portation association, is $1.66 per 100 tho rate asked by the railroads to meet i water competition would be v per 100 . from the eastern to the Pacific coast terminal. i R. L. Shepard of the Hawley Pulp & : Paper company of Oregon. City appeared : as a witness at the hearing and ob : Jected to the rate on sulphur which had been put Into effect from Louisiana to California coast points, unless the North 1 west could have equally favorable rates.

M. HH burt. president of the JState Sheriffs as sociation. The committee consisted of John W. Orr of Polk, ex-Sheriff Campbell of Til lamook and S- N. Warfield of Benton. It was appointed to Investigate the beet method of enforcing traffic laws. An increase In the stats force of traf fic officers from I to IS was recom mended by the sheriffs. This force should pay particular attention to licens ing provisions and to seeing that loads hauled over the highways are not heav ier' than the law allows, they stated. Cars from outside of Oregon should be forced to register within 48 hours after crossing the state line, the com mittee said. Such a law Is in effect in California. DAIRYMEN FIGHT TO RETAIN LEAGUE (Continued from Pis One) the resignations of the board of direct ors, elect a temporary board, charge the new board wish the duty of securing a complete statement of the league's af fairs and hear Its report at an early day. CRITIC IS BALKED He, also dismissed from the floor E. J. Brocks of Washington county, who de sired to present in critical vein a fi nancial statement which had been fur nished him. "I can't understand these figures and I want to see if the'rest of you can," declaimed Brocks. Westcott recognized the demand for some kind of a statement from the man agement and called upon F. A. Baker, a member of the board of directors and the executive committee. BELIEVES BOARD 815 CERE Baker gave It as his opinion that the cnembers of the board were sincere in their efforts to hold the league together. It is his opinion that the directors did not vote to dissolve the league In order to retaliate against the action of the Washington county dairymen who voted some time ago to force the directors to resign. That the league can go ahead and be successful is the opinion of Baker, pro viding a means of financing the busi ness until it can get on its feet is pro vided. One means of financing that was suggested was the capitalisation of the money now due dairymen with the pro vision that this money be later paid them in full. It is almost certain the membership could again be brought back strong, providing future payments could be assured. By bringing back the membership the volume of business would be increased with the result that costs per unit would, be lowered. FINANCIAL ANGLE SEEN He also believes that if all the mem bers could be paid for the milk that Is now going to the market and with assurance that back payments would be settled for In the future, that the membership could be brought back near 100 per cent, with the result that the league with a full active membership and a sure system of financing would undoubtedly be again on the road to prosper. The loss of membership was attrib uted by Baker largely to the fact that lack of finances had prevented the prompt settlement for pools, that the overhead was too great and that even though steps were taken in the spring of 1921 to decrease these expenses and they were cut down some $10,000 per month, yet the expense of operation this fall was about as great for each unit pound because of the great falling off in the quantity handled. OTHERS GITE TIEW8 Other directors who had spoken up until noon were J. S. Capps of Coos county, Theo. Brugger of Gresham, Multnomah county ; Mark Johnson of Clatsop, A. B. Flint of Washington county. I. V. Condon of Coos Bay, was emphatic in his statement that the league would not get another pound of milk from his county until steps were taken to correct conditions which he said had been going from bad to worse and the dairymen were not now making enough to pay a fraction of their ex penses. Most of the directors speaking backed up what Baker had said, many being of the opinion that there was a possibil ity of success, providing a means of financing could be secured. All stated their sincerity in trying to help the league but agreed that It was a big un dertaking to even try to understand every phase of the business. CIGARETTES STOLEN For the second 'time recently a store operated at 650 Mllwaukie street by Mrs. M. Deuboer was entered Monday night and a quantity of cigarettes and tobacco stolen.

Skin Troubles Soothed With Cuticura HMTIilE FAMILY LITIGATION ENDS; The Haseltine family, which has been quarreling, in the courts over the divi sion of the remnants of the fortune of the late J. E. Haseltine, founder of J. K Haseltine Co., got together in chambers and settled Its differences, ac cording to announcement' made this morning by Circuit Judge Wilson. Two of the sons, J. Ambrose and Cart Haseltine. who haven't been on speak ing terms for a long time, walked out of Judge Wilson's courtroom arm in arm. It looked as if the family would have Christmas dinner together. After hearing half of the plaintiffs evidence. Judge Wilson got down off the bench and told the attorneys in the case, W. Mi Cake, Casslus R. Peck and John A. Beckwith, that he wanted to see them in his chambers. "This is simply a family row," he told them when he had them 'alone. "I want to know what has been done to settle It" The attorneys were anxious for a set tlement, they said. Judge Wilson then called In the heirs, one at a time. He told them the litigation was casting shadows on the memory of their parents. He pointed out that he had been im pressed with . the respect with which they had spoken of their parents on the witness stand. When the situation was driven home to them., in this way, the sons and daughters appeared sorry and decided they would all make conces sions to settle the matter out of court. The suit was brought by Carl Hasel tine and the executors of the estate against Ambrose Haseltine, to recover 70 shares in J. K. Haseltine & Co., given to Ambrose by his father in 1916. The plaintiffs claimed Ambrose brought un due influence to bear on his father, who was then 83 years old. The defense was that though Haseltine was incompetent for several years before his death in January. 1921, he was competent when he made the gift in J916. The same 70 shares of . stock had been left to Carl Hasejtine by the provisions of a will made by the father In 1914, which will was never altered. The case was settled, according to the attorneys, by Ambrose giving Carl $5000. The stock was valued at about $7000. Incidentally the other heirs. Harry Haseltine, a son; Mrs. L. H Schmeer, a daughter, and Mrs. Gage Haselton, a daughter, passed quit claim deeds around so there would be no dan ger of future litigation over gifts made .C0.UljPE PILOT Commanding Features of the Apex Washer The copper tub will never rust and will not accumulate the slimy, soapy deposit which clings to wood or gal vanized metals.

Dec' C First definite news of the fate ef the tug Sea Eagle on November 20, south of the Columbia river, was given by Captain H. C Lund of the five-masted schooner Eeola, which docked this morning at the C A. Smith mill. The Ecola entered Coos Bay Mon day. - Captain Lund said there was a furious gals on the day of the disaster. The tug whistled to cast oft the hawser, h said. While this was being done the cable broke. The tug swung around with Lltead to the wind and was apparently all right, high in the water, and riding fine. Ten minutes later the tug swung around and headed for shore and it was but a short time until it was .seen that the tug's bow was In the air. A few seconds later nothing of the tug was in sight. The mate offered to take a small boat and men in the hope of rescuing some of the ' tug's crew, but the captain said it would have been impossible, for a small boat to live in such a sea. The Ecols lost some of her sails in the gale and was up and down the coast for 14 days until she came into. Coos Bay. The Kcola will load lumber for Australia. Captain Lund's statement was the first definite inrormatlop. received as to the fate of the tug's crew, as the Ecols has no wireless and nothing had beea learned of Captain Gove and the six other men on the Sea Eagle until the schooner arrived.
