si in m.
St. Louis, June 24. Dead though
he is, E. H. Harriman, once railroad
king of the United States, scored a
gre.it victory here today in the Unitei
States circuit court of appeals when
the court dismissed the suit which
the government had undertaken in
an effort to disrupt the great combi
nation of transportation lines, whose
union was the life work of the de
ceased wisard.
Xot a Conspiracy.
The court decided that Harriman'
pooling of the stocks of the Union
raclflc and Southern Pacific ilnei
and their five subsidiary roads does
not constitute a merger for the con
trol of western traffic.'
The defeat of the government's
chief allegation of the suit: That
Harriman conspired to monopolize
the raclflc coast traffic, is a distinct
ralroad victory. Justice Hook alone
dissented.
Public Satisfied.
The tourt opinion says that the
proof shows that after 1901, as well
as before that date, rates for trans
continental traffic were the same
over the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific and Hint clnce that time
there have been po impairment of
the service or effort to satisfy the
public.
The decision goes on to say, that
business for both lines is sought; that
physical conditions of the roads have
been improved and their efficiency
enhanced.
It ends with: "The wholo ' proof,
token together, we think falls to dis
close any conspiracy to restrain com
merce." Government Will Appeal.
Washington, D. C, June 24. De
partment of Justice officials today
declare that the government will im
medlntely take an appeal from the
Harriman decision. Attorney Gen
eral Wlckersham is absent from the!
city and It Impossible to obtain an of
ficial statement. It appears certain
that the case will be carried to a
higher court.

Washington, D. C, June 24. Con

to cover the added cost of the dry
dock new being built at Pearl Har

REDUCTION IN LIGilf RATES IS PENDLETON
BECOMES EFFECTIVE SOONER THAN EXPECTED
The new schedule of rates for light
patrons of Pendleton will go Into ef
fect July 1 Instead of August 1. This
announcement was made by Dr. F.
W. Vincent, manager of tlio local of
fice of the Pacific Light & Power
company, this morning. "The com
pany had intended," said Dr. Vincent,
."to wait until August 1 in order to
allow the patrons to 'become thor
oughly acquainted with the new
rates, but owing to the demand for
a reduction, the change will take
place a month earlier. These rates
will be Identical with those of Walla
Walla, but ns the schedule has not
yet arrivad, I cannot state the definite
reduction which have been made. The
new rntJa will not affect the June
bills as our meters wore read on the
18 and 20 of the month and our bills
have already been made out. A copy
of the new schedule will be sent to
each consumer as soon as they ar
rive." Smythe Is Pleased.
"Naturally we are pleased to hear
of the announcement that a reduc
tion in light rates is to be made at
once," says Dan P. Smythe, who as
president of the Commercial club has
been active in the move for lower
rates "Just what effect the Com

his army of 1500 federals is demor

say of.course, but to me It looks sib
nificant that an immediate reduction
has been ordered so soon. The other
day it was explained that no reduc
tion could be made until August."
To Continue Investigation.
"However the Commercial club will
continue its Investigation of the elec
tricity and gas charges made in Pen
dleton as compared with those of
other northwest cities, even though
a reduction has been ordered at
once. We have started upon this
matter and we will fijiish it. Secre
tary Keefe will make a thorough in
quiry." "It has been reported," saya
Smythe, "that Pendleton has been
charged a higher rate than other
northwest cities. Acting on this re
port the board of managers ordered
ar. investigation to ascertain the true
facts. No definite remonstrance has
been made but if the result of this
investigation should prove that we
are charged a higher rate than other
northwest cities I shall certainly fa
vor the publishing of the exact facts
and asking the Pacific Power &
Light company for a further reduc
tion. But if the new rate given Is a
fair and Just one this should be pub
lished also and the company com
mended for their prompt action.

a demented state and physically
weakened, George Marshall, a well
known Indian, attempted to crawl
under a barb wire fence, was caught
by the barbs and, unable to release

of those who found his body this

tiate it.
Marshall had been staying at the
ranch of Billy Craig between this
city and the agency recently, but dis
appeared sometime Thursday li ght
attired only in a shirt and a blanket.
A search was conducted all day yes
terday for him as it was feared, from
his actions of late, that he had lost
his reason. His body was discovered
cold and still tlii-i morning by two j
lislicrmen on the banks of the Uma
