about 100 liiBurrtetoi ncatterod
about Junrei today. It looked ns
though tho alege of the city had be
gun. Oruuxi'n force were iprmd out
In a wide seml-clrcle, eloudlng from
lieur SftrHgowR, and every piece of
cover In the hllli wu tetiHiitod with
luutrii of reb&U,
All through the night suudl baiuUj
(m4 In to the support of Orotru
nudjtlie leader of the UiBiiriwto
neem'ud to have tnde up hla mind tlmt
nothing waa to be gained by rurther
dolHj. It waa believed probable that
at l&at there would be "aoinethlng
dolug." In the city the Tederala o.
erctaed marttul law mid made every
effort to t lengthen their defeuae
Hgaltist the aeemlugly' InipeuUlug at
tack IMlea of aandbuga and of adobe
bricks were heaped up In the inoal
exposed atatloua of tho derendera and
' the uaual lethargy of the troops was
today transformed Into an activity
which Is taken to mean that tholr
aptes had brought woid of a move
ment for the capture of the city.
QlHreuurdlng a warning by Ameri
can Consul Ndnards uot to venture
into Mexico, two Americana. A. Cog
net and Thouias arirflu, went ncroaa
tl river last night and were arrest
imI bv the federals In Juarei. After
from San Francisco and wan told that
the reduction reflected on the rate
fioiu the south here at. that rate is
bused by the company on the tuinor
rate from Snn Francisco added to the
local rate from Portland to tho ship
ping point.
The only exception to this rule,"
ho Hold "Is the established rate from
San Frnnclsco to Mcdford, which was
found to be lower than It would be
under any such computation."
Contradicts Self.
Under cross examination by Mc
Cune, I.ounsbury frriiiitly contrad
icted himself and at ono time, whon
risked if hlb theory of lowost rate to
greatest population held good In New
York city he stammered a reply, and
nt the mention of Chicago, answered
bluntly that the rates In and out of
that city were not then undor discus
sion. "Under your theory, Mr. Uu mi
liary." questioned JKCitnu "should
not San Francisco luivo a .lower
freight rate from tho east than Port
land." "No" was tho answer "thorc are
many other thlriKS than population to
be taken liito consideration."
Admits Mcdronl Klc.
I.ounsbury admitted that Medford
has a larger population than any
other city In southern Oregon, put
required to be told what constituted
southoru Oregon bo'oro ho would
consent to nnswor tho question.
According to hla lino of theorizing,
Jledford Is entitled to a lower rate
than any city south of Ungeno, but
this feature he refused to admit when
put to him in u direct question.
That the present adjustment Is un
fair to this city wiib brought out In
Mr. Lounsbury's testimony when the
question of rates on furniture from
Portland south were brought up.
"Upon u minimum shipment of 'J0,-
000 pounds," lie said, Mho present
rale is (10 cents per hundred to iMod-ford."
Memory roor.
Later, under direct questioning, he
ndmittcd that thin same rate applied
lo points south of Mcdlord oven liu
yond tho California lino, but ques
tioned as lo what particular point, lie
could not remember.
Gaining permission from the com
mission, Kdward A. Welch, a nieni
hcr of the .Mcdford traffic bureau,
took up the questioning of tho wit
ness. "What is the freight rate from
l'oiillnnd to Yolo l'al.7" he askud.
Yolo is npproximntoly l.'lt) milch from
Han 1' raneisco.
"1 believe that it is (il cents" an
swered Mi'. IiOiuisbury.
"Why, when Yolo ir so much fur
ther south than .Medford should the
rule be' less'" asked Welch.
."I don't know," was the onlight
euJlg nnswur given by tho railroad
num.
"Illg Inteicsts."
.Speaking of the subsorvinnco of
flie'riiilroad to big interests,, and re
lating particularly to a cube in
which local merchants were discrim
inated against' in favor of Portland
jobbers, Welch aked :
"Is it not true, Mr. Lounsbury,
flpil four yenrs ago the firm of M.
I. TheibH of thifc city wore doing
business in cereals in carload lots at
tho rate of 71) cents"
Lonnsbiiry believed that such
might huve been tho cusu.
"Well, then is it not true that
Portland fiiuis, fiujling that they
vou.Nl not compete in lhi torritor.
requested the railroad to reduce the
rate," asked Welch.
The Unto on Ucer.
"1 don't know, but 1 believe not,"
was the reply.
"Well, wlisjt is the present mto on
beert"
"Thirty-five cents."
"What wus it thent"
"Heenty-nine cents."
"Whnl made it drop!" aked
Welch.
snnio, but questioned nr to tho rates
in force, Mr. Loiinslniry stated that
the rule on first class Jreiglil trom
Poi'tlnnd to Talent is $1. per hun
drcd pounds, and that the rale on
freight of the same clarification be
(,....,.,. ui, l'i-iiiirisco and Talent is
It'll! tllll - '
$1.00. The difference in distaice
ii 7J! mile.
From Snn Francisco to Portland,
and reverse, by boat is 4." cents per
bund. ed. lly train it is 51 cents.
From San Francisco to the Cali
fornia slate line i $1.M per hun
dred, yet to the next stntiou"norlh.
only a matter of n few miles, the
rate is $1.50.
Answer Is "IJocnuse."
Asked "why?" the answer was
practically "ln-'CMiiisf.'
The hciiriuir then adjourned until
Saturday morning.
Desnitc (he fact that no limit had
been placed upon the length of time
which the railroad might cure to de
vote lo cross-exiiiuinntion ol (lie
