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. It Is reported here
that Tnft has consented to confer
personally with the presidents of sev
eral western railroads affected by the
recent Injunction. They want to give

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.

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

before the coming of the railroad.
It is believed, however, that the de

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

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

The Pilot Rock trains ns well as the
Northern Pacific trains carrv nmieh
