Trial Of Major Rees Postponed Until
November IS.

The court martial appointed for the
meet until November 10. Yesterday
was the regular date set for the con-

have some further evidence to procure,
the meeting has been deferred until a
later date. 1t is possible that Lieu

NJ p. MAKES FREIGHT DEAL
WITH THE CHARLES W.
SPENCER COMPANY.
Blow at the o. r. & N. Co. and the
Regular Line People Has
Been Made.

Northern Pacific railroad officials
have made a move which by many is
considered as the opening punch in a
railroad war between the Hill and
Hartman interests in the northwest,
in giving to the steamer Charles r.
spencer docking facilities for freight
discharge at Vancouver, Wash.
Through this arrangement it will be
nossible for the Spencer to land up
ponts at point near Northern Pacific
tracks.
In the past it has been necessary for
the Spencer's freight for the Sound
country to be trucked from the docks
to the Northern Pacific freight yards,
AS the boat was not allowed to land at
the docks of the O. r. & n. Co.. Har-
riman road 1t is claimed this is be-
cause the O. r. & n. has control of the
Regulator line and the Columbia River
N y
ton with which the Spencer is run.
1t has long been considered that
Northern Pacific territory, conceded as
exclusive under the old compact, was
being invaded by the Columbia River
4 Northern. Something in the way of
retaliation has long been expected. 1t
is believed it has come.
The exclusive territory agreement
was made at the time Hartman, after
a long fight secured control of the
Northern Pacific. Shortly afterward
Hill executed his Northern Securities
deal and tied up the management.
Hartman still owned control. but could
not exercise it, so he Waged no war
against his own property However,
he put in a few side lines and feeders
under other names than his own to
tap territory sacred under the agree
ment
Recent New York operations have
brought about change in conditions
which have, it is believed, resulted in
the resumption of active operations.

BUT FEARS COMMISSION
CAUSE is RETARDED.
Defeated Candidate for Governor
graduates His Opponent.

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 11.-Regret
over the defeat in the state campaign
as expressed lin a public statement
given out by ex-senator George Tur-
ner, who, as the nominee for COVER
nor led the commission forces. Judge
Turner's statement follows:
Il regret the result in this state, be-
nitely any action of value looking to
the control of freight rates and to the
equalization of taxes on railroads and
other public service corporations. am
willing, however, to suspend judgment
and, if our republican friends do any
thing worthy of commentator in that
direction, to give them credit for it.
No Personal Regret.
Il am more than content with the
result so far as l am personally con-
cerned. l enjoy my home here much
more than could possibly enjoy four
years residence at Olympia, however
pleasant that might be; and certainly
my business interests will be much bet
ter conserved than by an absence of
four years.
But 1 do not value any the less the
loyal and steadfast support which I
received in the campaign from both
republicans and democrats all over the
state and l extend to all of them my
! heartfelt thanks for that support.
The advocacy of our cause by The
Spokesman Review was a tower of
strength, and l want to make grateful
acknowledgement for it. To it and to
the Times of Seattle is due very large
ly the magnificent support given me
on both sides of the mountains.
Result in the Nation.

of the democratic campaign took up
the hue and cry and carried it forward
Il do not agree with most Of repub-
lican policies of today, but l know the
president to be an honest, able, fear
less and patriotic man, and the ma

trary. If he is impulsive. his impulses
are all good, and no harm can come
from them.
Without recanting my political
opinions, loyalty accept the verdict
of the American people, and do so the
know that the nation and the basic
principles of it's institutions are safe
in President RoOsevelt's hands,"
Congratuiates Mr.. Mead.
Judge Turner yesterday sent the
following telegram to Governor elect

sisted by Rev. David Marx Of Atlanta.
An hour before the time for the flu

to the synagogue and the coffin OPEN
ed for a last look at the features OF
the beloved pastor More than thou
sand people marched reverently up to
take a parting glance at the one whom
they all held in such high esteem.
When the time for the beginning Of
the service arrived every seat was
taken and many stood throughout the
service. Rev. Mr.. Solomon read the
prayer in Hebrew following with a
selection from the Psalms. He said
that he had been requested to use only
the simple ritual which the departed
rabbi had employed on so many SINH
lar occasions. without seeming to dis
obey one Of the requests OF DR.. Men
des, he said he would draw a few les
sons from the life which had been lived
before his people. The one central
thought Of the life OF DIR. Mendes was
that he always bowed to the will OF
his Heavenly Father, ana his congre-
CATION should be thus encouraged to a
similar trust

Or. Solomon, the choir sang Rest,

Rev. David Marx OF Atlanta read

By r. NJ. Larner.

Washington, June 30.-Hon. Alfred
Lucking, representative in Congress
from the Detroit (Mich) district. gives
the following as his views on the Re-
publican platform recently adopted at
Chicago:
1T is platform of extravagant self
praise, of negations and of cowardly
silence. There is not a single direct
statement or promise on a live ques-
ticu in it. No hope of self-government
is held out to the Filipinos-or of re-
versal of the policy of loot and carpet
bagism and militarys rule over those
5000 900 people. Practicing in those is
lands rule of despotic and selfish
coloniaAsm far worse than Englands
rule of the eighteenth century not a
ray of hope is held out Of a change
or more liberal treatment
Knowing that the Democratic party
will make an issue of Philippine in
dependence, as it did in 1900, this plat
form lodges the question and MAIN
tains a eowardlys silence. Secretary
Ttsft. speaking for the administration
has been working and begging for free
trade with the Sands or snbsfah1
tlal reduction Of duties, but the stand
patters" crushed Him. A silence is
maintained on this point. 1t contains
10 promise TO change single schedule
or to take the shelter off the trusts.
Having full knowledge that the Aneri-
can people desire to know its position
on the Iowa idea it lodges and keeps
a cowardly silence. Knowing that a
great section OF this country demands
reciprocity with Canada and urges II
as a living and vital issue, II MAIN
tains silence. Knowing that the people
demand the prosecution of monopolistic
trusts, It maintains a cowardly silence.

green pastures, and the deep valley of
darkness did not shut out the light from
his soul. More as a friend who came
to mourn than as an officiating minis
ter, DR.. Marx was present to pay
last sad tribute to one with whom it
was his fortune to be intimately asso-
ciated.
Dead? Nay, passing nearer to us
now he said and nearer to us rs
our frailties shall fade away and viz
tues shah remain. 1t is not farewell,
but thanks: not tears of sorrow. but
of gladness. "
He addressed simple words of love
and honor to the lifeless clay as the
symbol of the spirit which it contained.
The memory of DR.. Mendes' life would
blossom, he said, in the lives of all who
knew him. AS a close, to his remarks,
comforting words We're spoken to the
bereaved family.

QUESTIONS ON WHICH THE
CHICAGO PLATFORM is SILENT
Representative Lucking Calls 1t Platform of
Self Praise. NegatIons and CoWardIy Silence

1t is the first platform of any party
to defend the trusts, which it does by
saying that they are economic devel-
opnient of the times, and il seeks to
give them an appearance of respecta-
bility by CHASING them with labor or
CARNATIONS saying that neither of
them must transgress the law, but It
promises no new legislation, nor a. Wig
orous prosecution of the present laws.
The Republican platforms of four and
eight years ago We're far more specific
ON this point.
The people demand the election Of
United States senators by direct vote,
but the platform is silent. 1t lodges
the party's malodorous ship subsidy
record of the last session, and evades
the issue of subsidy or no subsidy. 1t
is silent on the pressing question of
whether the public moneys shall con-
out Interest, to favorite banks. 1t adj
ministers taffy to the President ad
nauseum but is silent on his biggest
and longest fight, namely Cuban reci-
procity,' which fact alone proves the
absolute control Of the stand patters
I'm the face Of depression and paraly-
sis overtaking our industries for a
year past, the platform repeats the old
faisehood about contipued prosperity,
1t is like the ostrich sticking his mead

Republican tariffs have always been
followed by business prosperity, as IL
the people could forget the severest
panic and hard times in our history,
that of 1873 to 1879. all under Republic
can high tariffs. Notwithstanding the
business depression which has been
settling down upon the country for the
last year, the decrease in revenues, a
deficit staring the government in the
face, and the most extravagant admin
istration in the history OF the Union,
the platform contains not a line or a
word in favor Of economy or OF reduc-
