MEET TO DECIDE
Honolulu, Hawaii, May 1 (By
Associated Press) Eight bund
red army and uavy officers repre
senting vprt opinion on the sub
ject of United State defenses, as
emblod here today for round tab.
le discussions to ascertain which
force the blue or the black won
me recently fought aham battle
for possession of the inland of
Oahu.
The assemblage, off teal ly term
ed as "critique," was an executive
one optn only to army and navy
participants. Hocrecy will be main
tained because of the fact that de
tails of tho landing of a construc
tive force of 40,000 marines at
Haleiwa on the north cosst of
Oahu woul 1 be aired today. The
landing of the marine force is un
derstood as thi punch that end
ed the "war. Details of this sur
prise landing by kca forces at
tempting to take the Island are
considered imaluable by military
men.
No civilians will be permitted to
attend the critique, but the present
plans of the umpires contemplate
the issuunci of a short summary
of the results of the attack on the
Island. The main findings will be
roetusc 1 in Washington after re
view by the secretary of war anJ
the secre'ary ot the navy.
Results of the critique are an
xiously awaited by residents of the
Hawaiian island because of the
comparative toso with which the
oomn.aitder nf the marine landed
hi force, thereby dic!onlni- what
to characterized unofficially as the
"faults of Oahu defenses."

Berlin, April 30. (By Associ

Hlndenburg today formally ac
cepted his election to the German
presidency.
Announcement of the amount
ot business done by th Salem
Transportation company during
99 days operating a river boat
between Salem and Portland was
made yesterday by F. W. Karr.
head of tbe company. The North
western, the largest shoal water
el afloat, baa been in use 84
of the 99 days. During the 84
days 40 round trips have been
made, carrying a total ot slightly
over 7000 tons. Ot this amount
approximately 4000 tons went
down the river to Portland, 3000
coming up, from Portland to Salem.
The boat line, although oper
ated as a private enterprise, la
backed by various Salem firms,
particularly tbe Salem Pulp and
aper company. One main Idea In
establishing th line has been to
turnltih competition for railroad
lines running north from Csllfor
nla, with the Idea of obtaining
terminal rates for Salem. Under
present freight rates, a carload of
goods coming north le uncoupled1
from the train at its destination
here, but the rate charged Is the,
same as though the car were tak
on to Portland and then sent back
to Salem. For years Salem ship
pers have been paying rates on
goods from southern points which
are In excess of rates paid by
Portland shippers. It Is believed
that It will be powtlble to secure
terminal rates to Salem if the
boat line Is placed upon a basts
such that the Interstate commerce
commission can he convinced of
the genuineness and permanence
ot competition by the water line.
The Salem Transportation com
pany has been using the dock
hullt and- originally used by the
Inland Water . Transportation
company, which became defunct
following Inability of Its owners
to secure payment on the insur
ance of their boat, the Relief, i
The Salpm city council Is elat
ed to decide Monday night on n
petition asking permission to use
the property on which the dork
Is built. The property, located at
the- foot of Court street, was used
without charge by the Inland
Waters Transportation company,
having been granted to them for
a period of 6 years as a concession
to get them to establish the line.
The present company asks a
similar concession. It Is under
stood that after the five year per
iod has elapsed they will begin
to pay rent on tbe land.
The Salem Transportation com
pany was recently Incorporated
at $20,000. F. W. Karr,. shipping
manager for the Salem Pulp and
Paper company, Is president of
the company and owns two thlrdfl
nf the stock. Dean Vincent of
Portland owns the other third.
Karr states that eventually he
hopes to put another boat Into
service between Salem snd Port
land, furnishing daily service
both ways. He also has plans for
carrying passengers, but It Is
questionable when passengers
will bs carried. Under his present
regulations he is allowed to carry
as many as 10 passengers on a
trip provided they pay him noth
ing. He states that he is glad at
any time to take shippers to and
from Portland free of charge.
Concerning terminal rates for
auiem, rvarr ueueves mat it win
be possible to secure the rates if
the matter Is pushed properly,
meaning by that that some high
powered representative should be
secured, preferably by the Salem
chamber of commerce, to repre
sent the city before the Inter
state commerce com mission at
Washington, D. C.
"They won't give It to tbe city
unless the city goes out and asks
tor it," says Karr. "So far as I'm
concerned It would suit our bus
iness all right. We could still cut
under the railroad rates and get
the business.
The Interstate commerce com
mission will recognise nothing
less than actual, not theoretical,
competition, and then only when
its presence is impressed upon the
commission In the proper way,
Karr believes. 8o far as tbe rail
road lines art concerned, it Is
Karr' opinion that they would
welcome orders from the commis
sion to lower their rates to Sa
lem. They cannot do so without
orders.
Granting of terminal rates to
Salem shippers would save them-
thousands of dollars annually.
and make of the city a distribut
ing center in many ways on - a
par with Portland.
