Rate Case
Against
Shippers
Commerce Court Dismisses
Case Leaving Local rates
on Interstate Shipments
to Valley Unchanged
To the chagrin of Willamette valley
shippers doing business between Al
bany and Portland comos the an
nouncement that the Willamette val
ley differential rate case, a decision
on which has been pending before the
Interstate commerce commission for
nearly two years, has been dismissed
with the ends sought by the shippers
ungalned. The notice of the dismissal
of the case was received at the office
cf the state railroad commission today,
ltlvcr Traffic Missed.
Up to about two years ago while
river traffic between Portland and up
per valley points offered competition
to the railroads tho local rate between
Portland and Salem on transcontinen
tal shipments of the first cIrhs, in ad
dition to the rate per hundred pounds
from points east of the Missouri river
to Portland, was 10 cents. When the
river competition was removed the
railways at once boosted the rates,
making the local rate between Port
land and Salem 24 cents, and between
Portland and other upper valley towns
jirojiortlonttto' to the distance.
The shippers sought relief before
the interstate commerce commission,
holng represented by the law firm of
Hewitt & Sox of Albany. A hearing
took place In 1910 before Special Ex
aminer Prouty of the Interstate com
merce commission. All evidence was
taken and submitted to the commission
at Washington. Last June the com
mission issued a tentative decision
which appeared as If the rates would
he reduced. Tho promise of the ten
tlve decision adds to the disappoint
ment of the shippers over the dismis
sal of tho case.
Only Long Shipments Involved.
The arbitrary rate holds only for
transcontinental shipments. It is stat
ed that the commission evidently nev
er did hold to the belief that the 10
cent arbitrary should be restored, but
It appeared to be favorable to a reduc
tion. On Borne classes of goods a
through rate between eastern points
and the points south of Portland still
holds and It Is said that the traffic af
fected by the local rates Is not heavy.
However, it has been the cause of a
great deal of complaint on the part of
the shippers who have held It unjust
Explanation Is made by the railroad
commissioner that there are ten class
es of shipments. The prevailing rate
locally between Portland and Salem
for shipments of the first class per
hundred pounds Is 24 cents in addi
tion to the $3 per hundred charged for
shipment to Portland. For second
class shipments the rate to Salem is
22 cents, for the third class 18 cents,
while the other classes are rated ac
cordingly. Weights Give Trouble.
Special Examiner Prouty is now In
Seattle attending a hearing pertaining
to the weighing of freight Much com
plaint has been registered with the
commission In regard to the methods
of weighing not only for carloads, but
also for less than carload shipments.
The complaints are said to be coming
to the commission from all over the
country.
A TWENTY PER 'EST
INCREASE IS REGISTRATION
Counties that have submitted to the
secretary of state's office the results
of registration since the primaries
show an yerage Increase of about 2)
per cent of the pre-election registra
tion. It was estimated by Registration
Clerk Koser that tile Increase would
not beover 15 per cent. The report
from one county runB as high .is 27
per cent, while another drops to about
10 per cent In former years I 15 per
cent Increase has been considered big.

(Special to Tha Journal.)
DURING the last four years of aviation almost 200 lives have been sac
rlliced, not counting muny who were killed while Innocent spec
tators. With the recent death of M. Kondo, a Japanese aviator, at
Corning, N. Y., and of Ernst Allg and his mechanician at Johan
nlsthal, Germany, the total number of aviators killed Is 11)7. In September,
eighteen men were killed, the largest number In n single month. At the pres
ent writing, In October, five have lost their lives, and If this rato Is main
tained the figures of last month will probably be exceeded. Each year has
seen an Increase In the number of fatalities. In 1!0S one man was killed, lu
1000 four, in 1010 thirty-six, In 1011 seventy-three, while for the nine months
of the present year eighty-three have perished. Some of the tragic deaths In
America Include those of Miss Harriet Quimhy, Lorigstaff, Pnrmalce, Rock
well, noxsey and Badger. But the long list of deaths hns not deterred the
progress of aviation. Indeed, they hnve been but tragic Incidents which have
apparently spurted other demons of the air to more reckless daring.

Mr. Koser says that the registration
before the primaries also showed an
Increase over' previous years. He be
lieves that the great interest being
shown In the presidential and sena
torial elections is causing the heavy
registration.

Johnson
Is Barred
From Ring
HIS ROASTS ABOUT WOMEN DIS
GUST PROMOTERS, AND HE IS
DECLARED TOO TOUGH FOR ANY
PLACE EXCEPT PARIS.
fDNITRD rilBHS I.BAHED Wllllt.
San Francisco, Oct. 23. The fight
ing days of Jack Johnson, the black
heavyweight champion of the world,
are probably over. Disgusted by the
flaunting boast of the negro that "all
white women seem to 'fall' for him,
and that he could win any it them,''
Johnson Ib barred today by leading
fight promoters from appearing in nny
of tht fight centers of the world, with
the possible exception of Paris.
Tho disbarment of Johnson as a
fighting attrnctlon was led by Hugh I).
Mclnt(ih, tho Australian promoter. He
had virtually completed arrangements
with the negro for two fights at Syd
ney, which would have netted Johnson
probably $.r,0,000, when word of the
alleged abduction of Lucille Cameron,
and tho negro's boast, reached the
Australian metropolis.
"Cancel nil negrdatlons with John
son," was the gist of a cable Mcintosh
sent his American representative, W.
O. J Kelly. "Australians will not Bland
for a man of Ibis negro's calibre ap
pearing here."
Johnson was angry at Mcintosh's
stand, but the order stood.
The next promoter to fall Into line
was Janus V. Col'froth, of Kan Fran
cisco, who has staged ninny champion
ship battles.
"Johnson will never fight for me
again," said Coffrolh tmlnv. "Ills In
sults to the women of America should
not be allowed lo go unchallenged, lie
will never be seen In a San Francisco
ring again. The pollen committee
would not allow him to appear here,
noway, and, besides, there Is not n
promoter In San Francisco who would
give him a purse."
Months ngo the New York boxing
commission hung up a "nothing doing"
sign, so far as Johnson Is concerned.
and the fight promoters of Kansas City
alBo have fallen In linn. London bar
red Johnson when ho was matched to
meet Bombardier Wells, tho British
heavyweight there, and It is certain
that he can nevor appear In a Indon
ring. Tho onily place now open to
Johnson Is Paris, and It Is doubtful if
the authorities would allow him to ap
pear In the French metropolis.
Many a man who talks llko a war
hero gets his meek little wife to Inter
view the janitor every time he thinks
It necessary to register a kick.

Pathetic
Tale Told
in Court
Mrs. Lew is Tells of Her Own
Undoing and How Her Con
fession Drove Her Husband
to Murder the Tolivers
I'NITKIl 1'IIKHS I.KAHKI) WIIIK.)
San Diego, Cal Oct 23. Frequently
bursting Into tears and In a voice so
low that much of her testimony had
to be repeated to the Jury by the sten
ographer, Mrs. Ellen Lewis, wife of
Hubert G. Lewis, slayer of C. II. and
Catherine Tollver, today occupied the
wltncsB stand in the superior court in
behalf of her husband. Her testimony
was even more sensational than ex
pected, Mrs. Lewis declaring that she
was not only criminally assaulted by
Tolllver, but that Tolllver's wife as
sisted Tollver In his purpose. The ev
idence further brought out that the
Tolivers Induced her to submit to a
criminal operation.
Confession Crusted Husband.
This was the confession, the witness-
declared between her sobs, thnt drove
her husband to distraction last De
cember, nnd caused him to plan nnd
execute the killing of both Tolllver
and his wife on May 25.
It was undoubtedly the most affect
ing scene cvor witnessed In a local
comrt room. Mrs. Lewis, the picture)
of grief, nnd was nt tlmcB unablo to
continue, and seemed on the verge of
hysterics. Even tho eyes of, tho Jurors
and hardened court attaches grew dim,
whllo at one side, his face burled in
his hands, sat Lewis, the slayer, his
eyes wet with tears.
A Pathetic Scene.
When Mrs. Lewis completed tho
story that had cnused one of the most
sonsatlolial homicides In the history
ixf the city, she was almost In a stat
of collapse. Judge Lewis ordered the
court adjourned until 2 o'clock this
afternoon, but Mrs. Lewis did not, leave
her seat. With her head bowed low,
and her entire frame slinking with
grief and nervous exhaustion, the llt
tlo woman, now t'ut tho greatest pnrt
of the ordeal was over, seemed about
to faint. Lewis ran from his chair to
his wife's sldo, weeping violently Hi
knelt at her feet and threw his nrma
around her neck, kissing her repeat
edly. (Continued on page 4.1
