To Bring Fight
Portland, Dec. 31 Uft Plans for
a fight against a proposed 15 per
cent Increase in rail freight rates,
on which an Interstate commerce
commission hearing will be held here
In January, were formed at a meet
ing of farm and commodity group
officials Monday.
Spokesmen declared the Increase
would close eastern markets and
threaten destruction to fruit, live
stock, poultry, canned goods and
other industries in the northwest.
Arthur M. Geary, attorney for
the farm rate council, said that
farmers and stockmen had cut pro
duction costs to a minimum, "while
the railroads continue to be milked
In tens of millions by Wall street
manipulators and by unnecessary
duplication of service, and through
preferences granted near food mono
polies and others organized to de
mand special favors."

paying too much for transportation

Monday afternoon Fred carter,
route 8, box 70, a half-brother, and
others called at the police station
to learn more details about Chaf
fee's death.
Looking across the counter they
spied a brown traveling bag, silt
along one side of the top. They
Immediately identified it aa Chaf.
fees property. An overcoat that
he was supposed to have was miss
ing.
Today Carter declared that aearcn
so far has failed to reveal a bun
dle of personal papers, known to
Include a deed to 180 acres of farm
land in Mexico. Missing also, Car
ter declares, is a pocket notebook
which he always carried. Whether
anything was missing from the tra
veling bag he could not state, for
he was not sufficiently xamutar
with the dead man's personal ef
fects.
Chaffee, according to many who
knew him, could "handle his liquor"
and none, who have known him
for a period of year,, said that
they had ever seen him "out" in
any manner or that he had ever
become sick as a result of drinking.
He was not a "heavy'' drinker, they
state.
An intimate friend for a number
of years, Rom B. Clark, route 8, Box
S79, declared that h. had been
with Chaffee almost every Saturday
night since July 1. He asserted
that "Chaffee was able to take care
of any two men" In event ha was
attacked. Chaffee lost an eye in
an accident about a year ago and
since then has been a little cau-
tlous about driving at night, and
generally asked him, Clark, to
drive for him. Chaffee, who form.
erly lived on route 8, had been
working under Glen price, fore
man at the Sllverton Planning
mills..
Additional Information was giv
en by Mrs. Halite Lynch, 850 Broad-
way, who aald that aha had occu
pied an apartment tn the same
building where Chaffee roomed for
three years while working here, and
that while aha had had fullest op
portunity to observe him at all
times, she had never seen Chaffee
well under the influence of liquor.
Because of these known facts.
the authorities are proceeding
along the line that Chaffee may
have been the victim of "knock
out" drops administered to him hi
a drink. Ha was seen in front of a
South Commercial street establish.
ment around 10:30 o'clock Saturday
night by several acquaintances, all
of whom pronounced him sober at
that time.
Price this afternoon wu unable
to state how much cash Chaffee
was carrying when he left Silver-
ton. Price said he gave him a check
for 818, which was cashed Saturday
here In Salem and a pre-dated
check because Chaffee did not want
to have so much money with him.
How much coin or currency he pos
sessed or might have acquired after
leaving Sllverton, he was unable to
guess.
Chaffee had laid off work for two
weeks and was on his way to south
ern Oregon where he had an In
terest In a amall mine near Orants
