J.
P. Newell Joins Corps of
Experts Sitting With
Commissioners
The technical aide of the testl
nony In the telephone late case
became ultra technical yesterday
fternoon - when Attorney Shaw,
, during the cross-examination, was
boring Into Major , Hancock, wit
nets for the city of Portland.
Uabcock referred to toll charg-
ea before the airline rates were In
vogue as tTatchwork" charges.
"Tha't term.", said Shaw seems
something Akin to ray term "ding
bat" to which you . objected so
strenuously this morning when 1
was referring to the article your
company makes In Seattle."
: bhaw Vocabulary Good
"No, I am not even with you
yet." laughed. Babcock.
I think you ought. to, be fa
miliar with 'digbat'," Shaw said.
"Surely you remember all of tbote
, good old descriptive terms like
'doodad.' 'cadoory,' . 'doorlicker.'
dingus,'. 'hickey and dlncbaf."
All of these scientific words-
went Into the records.
Cartentler had his round. So
did Attorney Shaw In Salem yea
- terday. Me had Major Babcock
on the defensive all afternoon and
apparently so tangled (n (he ropes
at times that It was necessary for
Attorney Tomllnson now and then
to drop a remark to tfulde.hlm out
of ' the ma of harrassing ques
tions that were being shot at tnc
witness by the telephone lawyer
! Attorney mays to labile
Attorney Shaw's main play yes
terday, wag made with a view to
its effect on the newspaper read
ing public as well as the effect the
i recorded proceedings will have on
.the commission. .This was an at
tempt to drive the representatives
of the city of Portland into an ad
mission that they are seeking an
Increase in the telephone i toll
charges for the relief of the gen
eral mass of users. This he at
tempted to do throtrsh the quoa
" tlans which he was prodding the
witness.
. This caused Attorney Tomlln
f' son to Intervene with this explan
ation:; "Our contention is not that any
' rate be Increased- But If It
' should be necessary to Increase
' any rate In trder to afford an ad
i eq-uate return to Ahe company we
, contend tbut the burden should
fall on the toll lines Instead of on
' the small users." :
i'i NO incrimination Intended
' !Mri Tomllnson explained fur-
ther that this could not be brand
, edl a discrimination because of the
, TM,hit Tiatnra of toll line usage.
This was preceded by an attack
by Shaw on Major Babcock's sugr
t peation.. made on direct examlna
t tlon, that tool lines would be the
'logical point of Increase, and cu
bing the fact that the toll charges
'of the Puget Sound Telephone
'.company are 40 per cent higher
'than the toll chargesf the Pa
' citlc company In Oregon. Shaw
'did not succeed In trapping the
' Witness Into an Inadvertent state
' ' ment that he had recommended
40 per cent Increase in Oregon in
toll line charges.
("Have you made any study.
Snaw tasked the witness, "relative

that?" u-. . .
Attorney Tpmllnson came In
, with the Ptatement that Major
Dabcock had made no study or
' any particular points. -
i "That Is becoming very appar
ent," Shaw answered sarcastically.
! Unfair. Says Tomlinson.
He tasked the witness If he
would be willing to work out
. what he considered a fair sched-
. ale between Portland and any
'other city. '
"I "contend that It Is unfair,"
Tomlinson interrupted again, "for
counsel to demand that a sched
ule be .worked out between any
s two given points. That Is for the
, engineers of the commission to

weary weeks after this rehearing

ed, "that this Is the first time In

Arctic Ex
plorer, Here Tonight
Some or mis marvelous story of
the part electricity played in war
was presented at the hautauqua
last night, wheniiurnell Ford, late
of the government service, snowed
a few of the achievements of Am
erican electricians. The war quit
almost too soon for the good of
science, for, driven by the fierce
spur of war, they were preparing
a series ol electrical surprises
that had all the terror of the su
pernatural and the realities of
mathematics. Electrical science
made the greatest progress in -the
few years of the war, than for a
century before, Mr. Kord saidj
and the science has only gotten
far enough along to show what
vuster marvels yet remain un
proved. Wonders Yet to Come
"These boys who rear that all
electrical wonders have already
been discovered by Edison and
Marcont needn't worry a Uit," he
said. "There is infinitely more
ahead of them than there Is al
ready known, and it is infinitely
easier to get, with the momentum
already gained.
"There are millions of hor3ei
power all around us. that we need
onlyAo know the secret of to un
loose for the benefit of all man
kind. Water power is not sur
ficient. The sun, with its ligbi
and heat, will be a vast source of
power; yet there are other giant
powers that we can develop t
and we are developing them now."
Marvels Demons! fated
The speaker presented many
marvels of high tension electric
ity. The high tension current
that he used carried 3,000,000
volts and it looked and sounded
as scarey as a cave full of rattle
snakes. But with it the speaker
performed many startling experi
ments, demonstrating how this
high voltage current can be made
to serve the arts, the sciences and
the trades. With it he was able
to show how the submarine boat,
torpedo, or even the cruiser or
other boat can be controlled from
cne central station. Mr. Ford
was one of the governments
right hand men in developing the
electrical defence and offense ag
ainst the German submarine. The
process has been carried to such
perfection that only a few days
ago one of the British dreadought
battleships was maneouvered by
wireless through the whole fleet,
without a soul on board to con
trolu Its course"
Wireless Photography Iredictod. ;
Wireless messages. wireless

were presented on the stage by
various forms of apparatus. he
less telephony was explained,
and wireless photography a thou
sand miles away was predicted.
A clever expose of slate writing,
"weejee" board prophecies and
various spiritualistic .phenomena
was given. It was simple enough
once one saw it; the electrical
apparatus, and the trick slates ex
plained themselves, once the clue
was given. '
Tent Is Citmded.
"But you wunt to keep away
rom thisi spiritism,'' warned the
speaker. "The spirits of Chris
tians could not' como back. If
they could, they would not coniS;
in these foolish ways, if they j
could and we would have them.
The ouija board and the things
it represents account for a vast
and growing amount of mania.''
Almost every seat in 'the great
tabernacle was filled, and many
people were standing at the rear.
It was a remarkable opening
night the greatest in the history

"We feel that if we had pre
sented any one other than Mr,
Ford for an opening night, we
should have robbed the public

Taylor, in introducing the prin

listened to with breathless at
tention, with round after round
of appjlause for various startling
experiments, and no one chal
lenged the introductory speech.
