saving a great deal of study and have
received a great, number of petitions
both for and against, which have been

a good Idea and would be excellent if
adopted nationally,- but to adopt it as
a community proposition is wrongs in

T7nt0 a detailed 'report of the supreme

- If the mountain section of the Klam
ath Falls branch between the ! Oregon
state line and Tehama were torn out of
the operattnr system it is highly prob
able that the Southern Pacific would

section. . i ( ' ,
Washington, May 29. (U. P.) The
federal government, by decision of the
supreme court, today won its his anti
trust suit against the Southern Pacific
railway and associated' interests.
The court held that the acquisition,
ownership and control ' of the Central
Pacific line from Ogden to San Fran
cisco, by the Southern Pacific, restrains
competition in interstate commerce and
therefore violates the Sherman anti-trust
law.
" As a result the court announced the
Southern Pacific must divorce itself
from the old Central Pacific line.
The court decision was six to one.
Justice ' McKenna dissented and Judges
McReynolds and Srandel took no part
in consideration of Oe case. ;
v Forcing the dissolution of the two rail
roads is unfair, McKenna. declared. The
leasing- of the Central Pacific by ' the
Southern Pacific he said, had the im
plied approval of the government at the
time and enabled the government - to
.collect $58,000,000 which it otherwise
could not have collected, v
San Francisco, May 29. The supreme
court's decision . today in the Southern
Pacific anti-trust suit probably will mean
bringing the Central Pacific railway
lines between Ogden and, San Francisco
under the control of the Union Pacific,
it was believed at the Southern Pacific
offices here today. i :
The ease Is of vast Importance In that
it will take from the Southern Pacific
some of the most important lines used by
It in handling transcontinental traffic,
'Some of the results: of such a physical
separation. it was declared, would be:

Suit for $100,000 was filed in circuit

former president of I the : now defunct
State f Bank , of. Portland, and Antbon
Kckern, vice' president, by Conrad P.
Olson, present; "president,? who Charges
the two .with: selling him 675 shares in
the bank' at $132.50 a share by means" df
the grossest .misrepresentations. - x.
Olson,: an attorney, compiler of Olson's
Oregon laws, . makes confession in1 bis
complaint of being the victim of what
he alleges was a huge swindle and which
he 1 was led into through - his belief that
Walker 'and . Kckern 1 were- friendly ' to
him,, when -In reality, they were simply
trying to get out of the way before the
bank closed. .-
: ; Olson " was so gullible, according to
his complaint, that he took for truth
the unsupported statements of Walker
and Kckern as ' to the" indebtedness 'of
the bank, never pushing aay personal
Investigation. '
- According to Olson, 'the plot of the
two 4 bank officials was thlsi About
July 1 they approached ' him with - the
sucgestion that be bay from .them 1000
of the 2000 bank shares outstanding".
"Defendants represented to plaintiff.
according- to ,the complaint, "that they
were both in extremely poor health and
by i: doctor's orders - were compelled to
quit the banking business; that they
were' making--, the offer to : plaintiff be
cause of friendship : and" ' poor health -,
they were prepared to deal with plaintiff
not at arms length, but on the basis of
complete - frankness and the full dis
closure of the condition of the bank,
so that said plaintiff could c'rely com
pletely on the- information furnished by
them and purchase said 1000 shares with
'complete knowledge , of- the condition
thereof. - '
t Walker - and -Kckern - then told - the
convinced Olson, it Is-. alleged,- that
shares were -worth $150 per share, but
that -they would sell to-him at S132.S0
a share. ' " ' . 3 ,
. Olson appears, to., have , been enthusiastic-
, The others then supplied him with
a list; of 'all -the loans outstanding,-: held
by; the , bank, - of more than . $10,000.
Xos8es on all . loans below the sum. o

seqpential and could be safely disre
garded as "being' nothing " more than , the
losses incident to the-carrying' on of any
business.', the officials are charged with
saying-. -" - -
Olson In his complaint claims to have
paid for the -shares $10,000 on July 12.
1921; $15,000 ort July 18.. 1921: $30,000
on October S, 1921; $20,000 by assuming

- Frank , C. Brammwell, I superintendent

HALL'S NEXT MOVE:
IS UHOUHGED
With the primaries 10 days gone and
the completion of the official count sev
eral v days in future.'' the Republican
gubernatorial nomination has all the as
pects of an endurance contest. Although1
Governor Olcott has a plurality over Sen
ator Hall of a. little over 500 votes on
the face of the official count from more
than 20 counties and , the complete and
unofficial count in the others, there are
those in the Hall camp 'who refuse to
admit defeat, 1 -
i Whether or not there. wflt be a re
count depends upon the attitude of Hall
himself, 'it was stated today -by a: close
adviser. ' "The-: aenator - is en ' route - to
Portland, , where the situation will be
gone Into. ' In the meantime no one is
delegated to speak for Mr. Hall.
