SITUATION is FAVORABLE.
So Thinks Blanchard, of the Joint
Traffic Association

George r. Blanchard, commissioner
of the Joint Traffic association, always
can find something good where all
others fail. With him the rate situa-
ton on the lines he represents is al
ways pretty nearly perfect. Just at
the present time, according to report
made by him yesterday, everything is
exceedingly bright ANY report that
trunk line rates East or West are. in
bad condition or have been cut at all is
entirely groundless," he is reported as
saying. Since the meeting of the rail-
road presidents one month ago the rate
situation has steadily improved and is
now on a very satisfactory basis from
Chicago, st. Paul. Minneapolis, ST.
Louis and Mississippi river points
Passenger rates We're never in better
condition" So far as the St Louis
gateway is concerned all Chicago men
agree that the situation never has been
as bad as during the last month. With
the greatest difficulty an agreement to
restore rates Oct. Is was secured from
the st. Louis lines No one supposes
that any one of them has been living
up to tariffs heretofore. Rates from
Chicago are said to be fairly we'll
maintained. Passenger rates may be
well maintained, but there was never
a time since the inception OF the Joint
Traffic association when there was as
much unrest and dissatisfaction among
passenger men.

SHORT LINE SETTLEMENT.
Quite Stir Caused Among the
Coast Roads.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 1.-THE set
tlement of the difficulties between the
Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line
has created quite stir in railroad cir
cles here. The dispatch conveying in
telligence of the settlement, was inter-
preted here by Union Pacific officials as
meaning that through business over
the Union Pacific and o. R. & N. to
Portland was to be begun, but o. r. &
N. officials deny that any provision for
the resumption of through traffic over
their line by way of the Union Pacific
has been made. The dispatch convey
ing news of the settlement came from
General Passenger Agent LomaX, of the
Union Pacific, and is as follows: RE
sumo the sale of through tickets, both
one way and round trip via the Union
Pacific to points on the Oregon Short
Line at the Short Line rates that were
in effect prior to Oct. 12'
The Q. r. & n. people say the above
dispatch has no reference to Portland
rates, but, if true, means only the Mon
tana business in which the Short Line
was interested. The through business
to Portland over the Union Pacific,
would require the cooperation of the
o. R. & N, and until that cooperation
was solicited and their agreement OBJ
tanned. no through train need be looked
for over the 0. R. & n.

Details OF the Statement Previously
u. OutIined-BIanchar on the
General Condition.

Today the lake and rail rates on
-four and other grain products shipped
from Michigan and Lake Superior
points will be advanced in accordance
with the plan adopted at a meeting OF
the lake managers and trunk line ofti-
cials in the East some days ago. At
these meetings the flour rates were ad-
yanced to 171s cents from Michigan
points, and 20 cents from Duluth, ef-
fective today.
During the last few days it was
I,11mored that these roads were unWill-
ing to put in the raised rates at this
time, because the advance to 25 cents
from Minneapolis does not become ef-
fective until the 25th, but the tale
seems to have been without foundation
inasmuch as the tariffs are out, and no
word has been received that the rates
will not go in.
There was the feeling on the part OF
the Northern lines that the advance
from here should not go in until NOV.
l. but at the urgent request Of the
Eastern roads the date was set five
days sooner The bulk Of the traffic IS
handled via the lakes during this
month and the early part Of November.
The all rail rate Chicago to New YORK
advances from 20 to 22@ cents
today. while the all rail rate from Min

case to retain his position upon the po-
lice department. He charged perjury
both on the part of the police and
other witnesses in the case, and laud-
ed the testimony of the witnesses for
the defense who had supported the
theory that Luetgert had begun the
making of soap in his factory on the
fateful night of May 1. The experts Of
the defense were praised, and those Of
thte prosecution ridiculed.
CHILDREN ABSENT.
The little sons of Adolph L. Luetgert,
who were yesterday removed from the
side. of their father by order Of Judge
Tuthill, were not in court today When
Attorney Phalen resumed his address
to the jury. The absence Of the chill
dren was taken by the prosecution as
confirmation of the assertion OF the
prosecution yesterday, that the little
boys were brought into court after an
absence of several weeks simply to
play upon the Sympathies of the Jurors.
When this scheme was baked by
the order of the court, there was no
longer necessity for the presence Of
the children, and today they were kept
at home. Luetgert shed tears in part
ing from his children last night. 1t
was the first genuine display of emo
his arrest. Whatever may be the
mans disposition toward others, there
can be no doubt about his affection for
the children of the woman he is said
to have murdered.
The expression upon the face of Luet-
CERT this morning indicated more plain
ly than words could express, that he
had spent a restless night. He is
breaking down. was the comment of
hn M n
strain is at last wearing out the over
taxed nerves of the prisoner, and it
will not be surprising if total collapse
follows in the event of conviction. Dark
rings encircled the swollen eyes of the
prisoner this morning, and his manner
was subdued in comparison with the
spirit he displayed some weeks ago.
The arguments of counsel, which
bring up in review all the details Of
tie famous trial, affect Luetgert more
than did the varied testimony of the
witnesses.
Most of all, Luetgert, it is said, fears
the closing speech of States Attorney
Deneen. The states attorney is a rap
id, forceful and eloquent speaker. He
is resourceful and his style is Of the
order that electrifies and impresses a
jury. There is no tagging while he is
at the oratorical bat, and the defense
seems to dread the fact that he will
prepare the minds of the jurors on Sat
urday for the reception of the court S
