HEEDS DEMAND
OF MERCHANTS
Great Northern Railroad Ac-
cords Bellingham Same
Terminal Rates as Seattle
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, April o.
The Great Northern Railroad has final
ly responded to the demand made by
the commission merchants, wholesalers
and Chamber of Commerce to give
Bellingham the same terminal rates on
grain and produce from Eastern Wash
ington that are accorded Seattle. AL
though this city had terminal sched-
ule for transcontinental traffic, it was
prevented by discriminating tariffs on
the products from interior points from
competing successfully for the trade
with Alaska. The concession made by
the Great Northern, which the North
ern Pacific will probably follow, re-
moves this obstacle and places Belling-
ham on an equal footing with Seattle
and Tacoma. The Pacific Coast and
other steamship lines running north
will make this a port of call as soon as
traffic is offered. A five hundred bar
rel flour mill will be erected as a direct
result of the new rates. This port is
one hundred miles nearer Alaska than
is Seattle. One dock owner offers
wharfage at 15 cents per ton. A deter
mined effort will be made to break the
monopoly held by the Seattle mer-
chants.

FIND FORClNCS
ARE DEFECTIVE
Board of Inquiry Fixes
Cause of Accident to the
Guns on Battleship Iowa
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, April 29. - Without
definitely fixing the cause of the acci-
dent to the battleship Iowa on Febru-
airy 8, when two of the eight-inch guns
blew off their muzzles within a space
of twenty minutes, the board of in
quiry reports two matters which will
be regarded as explaining why the mis-
hap occurred. While the board does
not say so specifically it seems to be
clear that the accident was caused by
the use of defective forgings, which
rendered both guns incapable of with
standing the increased muzzle velocity
incident to the use of smokeless powder.
The forgings for those sections of the
guns which gave way were made by
the Midvale Steel Company They
were found to be defective and were
rejected. The company protested and
brought influence to bear. Again the
matter was taken up and the forgings
were rejected. The company worked to
have the forgings accepted by the de-
partment and finally succeeded. Both
guns blew off their muzzles. II. A.
Herbert was Secretary of the Navy at
the time.
The board says in conclusion:
"The assumption that the margin of
safety had been reduced too much

CANAL A GREAT BENEFIT.
Senator Perkins Gives His Opinion G

the Great waterway.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-"The great
work of the present session was that
of the Panama canal" said Senator
Perkins IN an interview to-day.
How will the canal affect the Pacific
Coast?"
Immensely to it's benefit, believe.
Not everybody thinks so, perhaps, some
believing that trade with the Orient
through the canal will work injury to
the Pacific Coast. But l believe that
the facility with which the Pacific
Coast may extend its trade with Eu-
rope will more than offset this. Our
pEoducts-deciduous and citrus fruits,
wine and Their other manufactures
are iuxuries in Europe because Of the
high freight rates and the time re-
quiTed in transportation. With the
canal the time will be so shortened and
freishts so reduced that the markets
wifi be greatly extended. But the chief
benefit will be the peopltng of Califor
MIA. At present the population of the
State IS but nine to the square mile.

DES MONIES, Iowa, April 29.-While
Willard Cox, prominent farmer re-
siding near .Sigcurney, and his friends
were holding a funeral over the sup
posed remains of his brother, Sylvester
Cox, to-day, curiosity led them to open
the casket, although this formality had
been neglected because Of the supposi
ton that the body had been terribly
mutilated by a railroad accident in
which Sylvester was reported to have
been killed. One glance at the corpse
was sufficient to establish that it was
not that of Sylvester Cox and few
minutes later a telegram was received
from the latter expressing surprise that
his funeral announcement had ap
peared in a Sigourney paper.

DISPUTE Power of Police.

The right of the Police Department
to maintain a blockade at the Castro
street extension quarry of Gray Bros,
the contractors, was the subject of an
argument in Judge Hebbard's court
Yesterday. The police are there under
power of an ordinance preventing
blasting, and the firm wishes them re-
moved because, it claims, the Super
visors exceeded their authority in
passing the ordinance. Judge Heb
bard took the matter under advise
ment.
