why they should not do So BY stipulation
the hearing was continued however TO
december 3, and seEsation-seeking visitors
10 the court house We're disappointed
The continuance was in part due to the
fact that Con Van Alstine's ATTORNEYS
claimed they had been unable TO locate
their clients wife in order to serve the
order 70 show cause upon her Attorney
Ronald told Judge Mcdonald he thought
Attorney Winstock and Attorney Dore
were concealing her 10 prevent the service.
Attorney Dore denied It. He said i; was
true they had put their client in seclusion.
but had done so only that Van Alst.ne
might not be tempted TO carry out his
former threats to injure or perhaps kill his
complaining spouse.
The matter was arlicably settled by At
torney Dore agreeing 10 enter an appear
ance on behalf of Mrs Kan Alstine waiv-
ing service Of the order. Then the con-
tinuance was granted.

Lower Parcels Post Rate.

Inc matter OF lower parcels post rates
came up through communication from
Mich, asking the Endorsement of the local
body on a resolution urging congress 10
make a speedy and earnest effort 10 Sc
cure more liberal and extensive facilities
and advantages. both domestic and for
eign.
4 memorial was received which gave as
one OF the main reasons why the matter
should be taken UP that "the attitude OF the
several express companies. throughout the
United States, toward the new revenue
whereby such companies seek to avoid the
payment of their proportion OF revenues for
war expenditures, and To impose such bur-
denS upon the various shippers throughout
the country, and the public at large, has
brought prominently TO the consideration
CT commercial organizations the matter of
Improved facilities for transportation OF
packages and bundles of merchandise
through the postoffice department OF the
United States:
And It il the belief of these organiza-
tons that the people at large. owing to the
practical necessity Of transporting pack
ages and bundles by express except such
as are now provided for by the postoffice
department, are paying much higher rate
for transportation of merchandise than is
Justified and 1t Is believed that lower and
more liberal domestic parcels post rates
should be secured through congress for
transporting such merchandise. whereby
shippers and the public at large may he re-
lieved from the onerous and burdensome OBJ
legations which now imposed by the
several express companies throughout the
country"

Retiring Congressman Will Not
Aid American Shipping.
Replies in . Characteristic and
EQufvOcal Letter to . Request OF
the Chamber Of COmmerce-Low-
er Parcels Post Rates II Under
Act on state Retrenchment.

The Seattle Chamber OF Commerce has
received four replies from The four MEM
oers OF congress from Washington. in re-
Spouse to the request that they do al IN
their power TO aid American shipping
Three Of them, Senators Turner and VII
son ard Rcpress sentative W. G. Jones. ex-
pressed their hearty sympathy with any
movement TO build Up tine marine: but the
fourth. Congressman James Hamilton
Lewis writes q ehara cteristic letter over
looking the request and bringing up the tar
III policy OF the nation and various refer
ences &c a proposed subsidy act. which was
not mentioned in the letter from Score
tary Prosca. The request was that the
Congressman favor the Improvement Of
American shipping in whatever way was
feasible and possible.
This was Mr.. Lewis reply written under
date OF November D, as presented 70 the
Chamber of Commerce at the meeting yes
terday afternoon:
Il have your note with the enclosure. and
note you request that I give my personal
and official aid TO the support OF the meas
ure a copy Of which you send me. AS a
member OF congress, so long as | remain
there, / must oppose the matter you ask
me TO support. Its practical object is 10
build UP the Atlantic coast, TO the utter
destruction Of the Pacific. particularly the
state OF Washington. IL does not even
seem TO disguise its object.
Again, / do not favor subsidies by the
Federal government to large steamship
companies as general proposition. Ger
tainly not when they are 10 be limited to
the Atlantic coast: and until the Nicaragua
canal is built none OF the things which the
measure seeks profess TO inure 10 the bene-
nj Of any other part of the country than
the Atlantic coast
''Out of the great respect have for your
Judgment and wishes / have given my
reasons at length why l cannot support the
measure asking for many millions of sub
sides as a personal gif, 10 the Atlantic lin
ers. The shipping Interests of this country
viii be preserved and greatly increased If a
more discriminating sense were used con-
corning the tariff policies of the nation.
Your ooedienf servant
