Attorney-General Promises to Pre
vent Proposed Increase in Tariffs
by Proceedings at Chicago Rail
road Baiting Day in Senate Fight
Against Octopus On in Earnest.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 31.
Following shortly after the introduc
tion of a resolution by Senator La
Folletto denouncing the proposed in
crease of freight rates tomorrow as
nu evidence of combination and call
ing upon the department of justice
for action, Attorney-General Wick
crsham assured certain senators to
day that suit would be filed before
night in Chicago to stop the enforce
ment of the proposed increase.
La Follctte's resolution came after
a protest registered with congress
yesterday regarding the proposed
freight rate increase. The rales pro
tested against arc general increases
planned to go into effect tomorrow,
June 1. The shippers declared that
these rates wero fixed in an effort
to head off interference by the inter
state commerce commission under the
new rmlrond regulation bill, which
would jdve the interstate commerce
commission power to suspend in
creases. Increase Announced.
It has been known for a mouth
that the increased rates would take
effect Juno 1. Tho railroads have
announced them. They apply large
ly to rates between Chicngo and
Mississippi river points to points
west. The rates wcro oven and uni
form for the clnsscs of froight to
which they npply. It wns this fact
that led to Scnntor La Follett's reso
lution, lie declared that tho rates
themselves ns announced by tho rail
roads wero sufficient evidence of
collusion nnd combination and de
manded notion nt once by tho de
partment of justice to prevent their
enforcement.

FfSHWAY
AT AMENT
NOT BUILT
Thousands of Salmon Held by Use
less Dam and Nothing Done to Aid
Them Over Obstruction Which Is
No Longer Used Immense Run

"The fish situation at tho Ament
dam is a disgrace. Literally mill
Ions of fish aro beating their brains
out in nn endeavor to make their
way up the river. And thero Is noth
Ing being done to provide an ade
quate flshway for them."
So states J. C. Aiken of WoodvJHe,
who visited the Ament dam on Sun
day and who is visiting in Medford.
Since the floods of tho winter par
tially destroyed the dam and wrecked
the flshway as far aa its usefulness
la concerned, salmon and steelheads
have been prevented from making
their way up the river but lose their
lives in a vain attempt to get over
the structure. No fish-way Is being
built there, though Mr. McAllister
promised one two weeks ago.
"There are millions of fish below
the dam. I never saw anything like
It in my life." states Mr. Aiken, "and
It Is ono of the most pitiful sights
a person can imagine. Great steel
heads rip their sides open in their
endeavor to make their way up
stream and finally perish. Something
should be done and at once.
"The fishermen in Grants Pass are
catching ton after ton of fish. It la
no wonder that fishing ia good now
that the Ament dam so effectively
blocks their progress to the waters
above.
Tho matter waa taken up by
phono with Maater Flah Warden Mc
Allister who had just returned to
Portland from a ten days trip on
the Columbia. He stated that ho
had ordered tho building of a flshway
when here and had supposed it al
ready constructed, and would come
down here at onco to see tho flah
lndder waa constructed and tho fish
now behind the dam dipped up In

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 5L
The power of the inter-state cs
merco commission to enforce railway
rates of its own making was affJnsetl
today in an opinion handed dow. by
Justico McKenna of the supreaM
court of tho United States. The rata
making power of tho commlnfiss
was questioned bytho railroads as

ground that the law authorizing Vkm
rate-making power to the commisriawL
was a delegation of the legtaUtf
power vested in congress by the cb

was unconstitutional.
The supreme- court restored t

that the caso will go over until aaat
