Usintf the recent failure of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul as u horrible example, sixty five western railroads, owning more than half of the mileage of the United States, have be gun their fight against lower freight rates before the' inter state commerce commission. Every important road west of the Mississippi has joined in tho protest. Last January congress or dered the commission to in quire what further rate reduc tions might be made without impairing the transportation system of the country. The sixty-five western roads filed a joint protest today, declar ing that many other roads in the west are in danger of the same fate that recently over took the St. Paul road. That failure was the largest that ever oecurred in the United States in property value andlt; railroad mileage. "The situation of other carriers in this district Is desperate," the railroads said In their protest to the commission. "In spite of the rigid economies of operation they have been faced with a diminish ing net operating Income, while there has been no tendency on the part of governmental authority to reduce the tax burden or to be less stringent in respect to required expenditures for safety of oper ation." ' While private Inquiries are be ing made to determine whether there hus been financial skuldug gery in the St. Paul road, the pro test blames the disaster mainly on conditions beyond the control of the road and says that other lines are suffering In the same woy.

Executive Committee Will Consider Proposition And Recommend ItKI'OKT NKW DICTATOR HKL0HADR April 21 Cncon. flrmod reports from Sofia relate that Cloncral Loioroff has become dlcotator of Bulgaria In all but namo. Among the primary causes of the rocelvershlp mentioned are: 1 Diversion of traffic through the Panama canal. 2 Decline in livestock add grain crop under the reduction program favored by the department of agri culture to end over production. S Reductions In freight rates against high tax and labor costs. This 'Is the railroad side of the case as presented In the brief. Far mers and shippers will make their answer later. Some of the key points o( the railroads are given herewith because they concern every person who owns a dollar of rail road stock or bonds, every farmer who Is trying to eke out a living after he pays the freight, and ul timately, every person who eats bread. Itoads lyoslng Traffic Western roads claim they are losing traffic steadily. One rea son they nsslpn is diversion of freight through the Tnnama canal. In 1920, the western railroads carried 145 billion of ton-miles of freight. It dropped to 108 bil lions in the 1921 slump. It reach ed another peak In 1923 with 137 billions. That year the western roads claim they earned 3.96 per cent on their aggregate value, whereas as the interstate commerce commission fixed 6 3-4 per cent as a fair return. Lost year the ton nage dropped off one billion. Only a fraction of thlg was absorbed by the Panama canal. The railroads blame government policies for much of the loss. Moe Is Alone Police Detain Him In Spokane "Dud" Moe, former manager of tho Pine Tree, enroute to Klamath Palls to answer charges brought by the Mann theatre interests of San Krancisco. of embezzlement, was arrested In Spokane and detained until Sheriff Hurt Hawkins wired Spokane authorities to release him It was learned yesterday. Wires were sent by Hawkins Monday morn g, cancelling previous messages sent to big coast cities, asking for Moe's apprehension. Spokane au thorities, however, failed to receive this cancellation, and "Bad" was picked up as he passed through the city, enroute for Klamath Falls. "Bud" Is making the trip alone. It was learned. Hts father, who was to accompany him, has the flu, and Kellogg, Idaho, authorities were win ing to take "Bud's" word that he would appear in Klamath Falls to answer the charges. Year-Old Child I Shoots Mother in j Back Accidentally' Amy Knight, wife of Louis Knight, Klamath Indian, ia in the Klamath Valley hospital with a bullet wound in her hark, the result of an accidental shooting by her three-year-old boy, yesterday morning, at the family home in West Chiloquin. The mother waa getting breakfart at the time of the shooting. The child, seeing the revolver on a nearby chair, levelled It at the mother and pulled the trigger before Mrs. Knight knew the revolver was In the hands of the child. Nhe was resting well last night. Dr. Deltsche expects to probe for the bullet today. At the regular meeting of the American Legion last night the question of endorsing an Oregon national guard infantry company for Klamath Falls was discussed at considerable length, and as some oppos ition to the plan was voiced 1 among the membership, Com-j mander Olds ruled that theTlnYntf 7ipc matter should be referred to AVlalllalli 1C& the executive committee, who will hold a conference on the matter next week, at which time individuals favoring and opposing will be asked to pre sent their arguments. The matter will then be submitted to the post for final passage at the next regular meeting, May 5th. One legion member, a worker In with Sam Head yesterday to Inspect Rogue River For Settlers Two representatives, prominent farmers of the Owens valley com munity of California. Frank Dear born and Ad Farrington, arrived New Autd Lighting Rules Explained By State Light Expert Several hundred Klamath auto mobile owners were enlightened as to the new auto lighting regulations last night at the chamber of com merce by Frank A. Pim, state lighting expert, who works out of the office of Sam Kozier, secretary of state. Pim urged prospective retail buy ers of automobile lighting equip ment to await copies of the new regulations, which will be out In several weeks, before purchasing any new and added lighting fix tures. Oregon has established a prece dent with the new safety lighting system, according to Pim, by se curing the aid of the bureau of standards, In Washington to test the new methods to be used in Oregon. When the new regulations go into effect, only auto dealers who have studied he regulations to secure a license will be allowed to adjust headlights. These men will be held responsible for any violations. No headlight, other than the horizontal reflection type will be permitted. Pim explained that the horizontal reflector prevented the blare and I blaze which has so often resulted In accidents. The effect of the horizontal light is to produce the same condition of light as one would experience on a sunny day, Pim said. a lumber mill, said lumber workers here would resent a guard company here because of strike duty. A. D. Collier reported on the legion hearing with Secretary Work on April 9th, also the efforts on the part of the local committee to Interest Dr. Work In the reclamation of Hanks marsh, the following day. The secretary" showed himself ts be a man above the petty discord that cropped out at the court house hear ing, according to Collier, and before his departure he took the trouble to assure the leglonairres of his sympathy with thir cause. Follow ing Collier's report a vote of thanks was extended to him by the post. Dr. H. D. Newsom addressed the membership on the question of ex service men of the whole country pulling together to advance the ideal of the American Legion, continued service to their country, and themselves.

CHAMBER FAVORS CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW RAILROAD Following the exact foot steps of the - Klamah County Federated Board, the directors of the cham ber of commerce yesterday adopted an identical resolution as the for mer body on the encouraging of new railroad developing In the couny without favor to any Indi vidual road or railway system. The above action resulted from the reading of four letters at the directors meeting purporting to rep resent the sentiment of a9 many Klamath county organizalons, three of which were signed bygone and the same Individual who appeared to show a lively favoritism for one certain railway system. W. O. Smith stated that the rail way committee of the tuamber had been working constantly to encour age any possible railroad develop ment that was in sight, and he Im plied strongly that the letters ad dressed to the chamber were un necessary and In he nature of a slap at the organization. Dr. O. A. Massey pointed out tho advisability of adopting a reso lution similar to the one adopted by the Federated Board which is made up of representatives from farming communities all over the county. The action of the chamber directors clearly showed a desire to co-operate fully with the farming districts which are most vitally In terested In new railroads since this development Is their economic sal- vaion. It was pointed out. the Langell Valley country and re port back to the Owens Valley peo ple whether or not the country Is favorable. The Owens Valley peo ple are enthusiastic at the thought of coming to a country so similar In altitude and soil as the two val leys are, and upon the recommen dations of their two representatives they will come here. Dearborn and Farrington say. The two men will Inspect tha Langell Valley country for the next three or four days. Klamath will Tie with the Rogue river country for the California peo ple, it was learned. Arthur Foster, representing the (kef on state land settlement bu&rd ha been In the Owens Valley country, recommend ing Rogue river, it is understood. In Foster's report to the Owens Valley people he said he' had no data on the Langell Valley, but the Owens people are going to find out for themselves just what future the Klamath country holds for them.

Snyder and McMahon hid in some nearby bushes, witness ed the carrying of the five-sral- lon keg into the brush and the carrying of an empty kesr from the hiding place back to the car. when the two rum run ners reached the car, Snyder and McMahon stepped ud to the car, and at the point: of revolvers ordered McCampbell and Todd to drive to the Klam ath court house, where they were charged with transporta tion of liquor and .lodged in jail. Todd gave hDrresidence as Ashland. ir ' According to information. the point where the two men were seen to cache the liquor, is a part of a well organized rum ring. An empty keg, is left each day id.

Saf eblow Suspect May Be Deported All tills poetic staff 'about a rose-blown cottage down by tho sea is the bunk, according to C. 8. Currin, locul druggist, who has recently purchased a sightly home at the head of Esplanade street in Hot Springs. The fly In Currin's ointment appears to be dne to the count less swarm of fresh water sea gulls, those tireless scavengers of the deep, which have for saken their native heath for the placid waters of Upper Klamath lake. It has developed that their daily fly-way from break fast at the city garbage dump back to tho hike, is right over Currin's house. Something has got to be done, Currin complains, those dunged birds squawk around above my house every morning about day light, and sleep for anyone is out of tho question. Wo all have to go to bed about 8:30 in tho evening to get enough sleep, that's why so many Hot Springs people look llko they were suffering from insomnia. Those Spring street business men with their snfe-crackliig troubles haven't anything on us, It looks llko wo would hnvo to hire a speclnl cop armed with nn antl-ulrcruft gun. HILL MAX HERE J. J.
