T I IIP FOB T ROADS GIVE THREAT AVI Mi CANCEL WORK IF INCREASES ARE BLOCKER Believe Gathering of Railway Force Foreshadows Effort to Induce Pres ident to Call Off Injunction Suit Provisions of Railway Measures Now Before Senate and the Houh. New York. N. Y., June 4. The great Interests are lining up for a ti tanic; struggle between the govern ment and the railroads over the rate Increases. The first big meeting of the railroad Interests will be held Wednesday at the Belmont hotel when the railway business association meets to consider plans of aiding the rail roads with a view to preventing the cancellation of orders for equipment. The association represents the manu. facturers of railway equipment for 25 states. Their action will probably guide tho decision of other organiza tions whose Interests are allied with the railroads. Railway officials declare they can not operate profitably and make Im provements unless the increase Is granted. If not granted they will can cel orders for equipment, thereby throwing hundreds out of employment. The effect on the country Is a problem. It- Is believed the gathering of the rail road forces foreshadows a concerted move to exert pressure on President Taft to compel Wlrkersham to with draw the Hannibal injunction suit now preventing 2B railways from In creasing rat. 3. Regulatory Law. Washington. June 4. The number of the Identical provisions of the ad ministration railroad regulation bill In house and senate drafts makes It probable It will be altered little by the Joint conference committee when sub. mltted. Both bills permit the rail roads to Issue passes to families of train accident victims; to provide If the railroads lower rates to kill wa ter competition they can not raise rates without the consent of the In terstate commerce commission; pro vide for the establishment of a com merce court, that companies cannot make through raes greater than ag gregate local rates, provide heavy penalty to prevent employes from falsifying to shippers asking rates. The Interstate commission Is given wider general authority, and Is em powered to suspend new rates. Senate Passed Rill. Washington, June 4. The senate passed the administration railroad bill at 9:55 o'clock last night. It had been under consideration for more than 12 weeks and practically no other business except appropriation bills were considered In that long period. Only 12 votes, all by demo crats, were recorded against the bill. The practical unanimity with which the measure was passed was due to radical changes made In the measure from the form In which It was drafted by Attorney General Wlckersham fol. lowing numerous conferences at the White House on the subject of am ending Interstate commerce laws. All the "Insurgents" who opposed many features of the original bill, voted for It last night. Taft Will Confer. Detroit, Jan. 4.

JACK JOHNSON DID NOT DRAW LARGE CROWD San Francisco, Juno 4. Before a crowd considerable smaller than the one that came out to see James J. Jeffries box In the same arena n week ago Jack Johnson tonight sparred six rounds with his regular partners George Cotton and Marty Cutler. Johnson displayed all the form of a heavyweight champion of the world, according to the fight experts who crowded the ringside. Ho was clever and fast In his work and the crowd applauded him generously after each round. He did not let out any hard punches, however, and failed to cre ate any excitement by his exhibition. Plainly he was under "wrapping," holding his blows at the crucial mo ment and mauling his opponents ar. ound at will. Cries for Sam Langford resounded throughout the rink when Johnson appeared In his fighting trunks and red and white sash. The crowd want. ed to see a real fight. Langford was In the crowd but ho did not come Into the spotlight until Johnson had step ped out. Then he simply was Intro- duccd. Abo Attell, the featherweight champion, was also Introduced.

' STATUE OF GENERAL CTSTER Nat Kimball went to Nolin this morning on the Portland ocal. CHANGE IN Ml There Is much dissatisfaction in rendleton ns well as in Adams, Athe na, Weston, Milton and Frcewater, with a recent ruling of the postal de. partment. The ruling In question is the one which does not permit mall being carried in either direction by the Tendlcton-Walla Walla local with l he single exception of a closed pouch from here to Walla Walla. The new order went Into effect yes terday and the mail clerks who have been doing duty on the local have been transferred to tho new trains and ore being run through to Spokane. As the night train does not even take pouch mail at Adams, Weston and Athena and as tho morning train leaves at 7 o'clock In the morning the service Is very unsatisfactory. For Instance very few people get their letters written in time to get them off on the seven o'clock train and as the night trains do not carry mall to the east end towns, with the exception of Milton and Freewater, the letter must wait over until 7 o'clock the next morning. The ser vice or the towns of Adams, Athena, and Weston It therefore fully as bad aa In the days of the old stage coach before the coming of the railroad. It is believed, however, that the de UNSATISFACTORY LOCAL TEAM IN DEBATE High School Debaters Cap tured State Championship at Eugene. DECISION UNANIMOUS FAVOR OF PENDLETON DiMiCMhing Negative of lUink Guaranty Question Local Orators Defeat Eu gene High School Regents Cup Ircsentcd Team by President Camp lel! of I'nlversity of Oregon. Eugene, Ore., June 4. By defeating the debating team of the Eugene High school tonight, the trio from Pendle ton won the Interscholastic champion ship of the state. The decision was unanimous but the contest was char, acterized by speeches on both sides, of unusual excellence. Pendleton had the negative side of the "State Guaran. tee' question and won by superiority oi' argument. The Judges of the de bate were: Prof. G. P. Mathews, of O. A. C; Prof. Kirk of Willamette University, and Prof. Elizabeth Irving of Albany College. The Pendleton de baters were Peter Crockett, Lyman Rice, James Hartwell. The Eugene debaters were Jesse Kellus, Victor Morris and Harold Young. At the conclusion of the debate the Pendleton team was presented with Campbell of U. of O. There Is much rejoicing in Pendle ton today over the winning of the championship. Though the local de baters have steadily marched up the ladder by winning contest after con test, both at home and abroad, It Is not believed possible that they could go to Eugene and win the highest honors from the home team in the very shadow of the state university. When asked for a statement this morning. City Superintendent Landers said, "I have nothing to say. The thing speaks for Itself." Neverthe lss he is immensely proud, as is every other citizen, of the showing made. It was considered remarkable that a Pendleton team should twice in suc cession win the honor of contending in the final contest but there were few who dared hope for final victory. Possibly the most remarkable feature of the final result, as well as the sea. son's succession of victories. Is the fact that never before this year has any member of the team ever participated ir debate, and for one member of the team. Lyman Rice, last night's debate was the very first forensic contest. The Pendleton dehaters had previ ously won from Athena, Weston, the Gilliam county high school and La Grande. The latter contest decided . phamnionshln of Pflstern Oreeon UNVEILED AT MONROE Monroe, Mich., June 4. President SERVICE IS TO r I partment can be prevailed upon to moutry this ruling enough to permit of pouch mall being carried on the lo cal trains, each morning and evening, to the towns affected. As the mall service to and from Pendleton now stands, the Pendleton Walla Walla local and No. 7 the west bound limited are the only trains which do not carry mall. The fast mail, going west at mid. night carries pounch mail from the local office and mall clerks also col lect mall from the boxes at the de pot. Mall Is received from train No. :.. going west at 1:30. The mail clerks on that train also collect from the depot boxes but no mall is taken from the office. Eastbound train No. 6. arriving In Pendleton at 2 o'clock brings and takes mail and the clerks also collect at the depot. Train No. 6, arriving at ." o'clock, brings a closed pouch from Portland to Pendleton but docs not handle way mall. Train No. 8, ar riving at 5:00 p. in., also carries mall as do trains one and two, being the Portlond-Pendleton locals, leaving at ! o'clock and arriving at 6:10 p. m. The Pilot Rock trains ns well as the Northern Pacific trains carrv nmieh mail but they do not have mail clerks.
