Frank Smith, the dead murderer
is the burglar who robbed the Sharon
& Eddings' store on Saturday night,
April IA. That such is the case is
conclusively shown by the fact that
the number OF the automatic pistol:
1926, found on Smith at his death,
corresponds with that of the one
stolen from the Pendleton store.
However. aside from this. Len Sharon
is positive In his Identification Of
Smith as a man who was In his store
on the Saturday preceding the rob-
berry. As soon as he saw the publish
ed pictures of the notorious outlaw In
the Portland papers Mr. Sharon rec
ognlzed him, for he had seen the man
here several times on the Saturday
spoken Of He then wrote to Chief
Gritzmacher OF Portland, giving him
the number OF the automatic gun
stolen from him, and also what he
knew Of Smiths actions here.

ly pilloried. The work of independ-

completely overshadowed. The muck

son of the martyred president. He
convicts the oil trust Of flagrant per-
sistent violation of law, and accuses
its officials OF deliberately lying wher
they testified at the beginning of the

and funds and supplies on hand for
only 10 days. San Francisco Is facing
a most serious problem. Every effort
is being put forth to prevent waste,
and increase the funds and food do
nations. 1t is feared a new appeal
must be made to the nation at large.
Staple foods are particularly needed.
A great quantity of clothing has
been given away without system or
check, women of swell residence dis

No More Slot Cables.
The earthquake put an end to the
controversy over the installations OF
underground trolleys. They found
that the cable slots were damaged to
the extent of millions by the earth
quake, and it would be impossible to
get cars running on these roads inside
of a year.
On the other hand, there is no diff
ficulty in getting the overhead troll
leys in shape for immediate service.
The proposed Geary street munici-
pal road will likely be abandoned in
favor of the trolley system. The
United railroads are at work convert-
ing the cable roads into trolleys-
Confined to Coast Range.
According to Secretary Dean, Of the
Petroleum Mines association, the oil
interests of the state were not af-
fected by the earthquake, which was

the San Francisco trade, however,
which amounts to from three to four
million barrels yearly, will be great
1t is estimated this will be cut fully
three-fourths. -

Abundant Proof.

The Garfield report proceeds "
show that the company habitually res
ceiyed and is still receiving secret re-
bates, and cites case after ease in
proof. In every section Of the coun-
try the standard has profited by nu-
merous fragrant determinations by
the railroads in behalf of the Standard
and affiliated corporations. Except
by a few large concerns in Califor-
MIA, the Standard has been the sole
beneficiary OF such determinations.
In this connection, the commission
er refers to discriminating practices
by the Southern Pacific, which he
says showed favoritism in the allot-
ment of cars among shippers, Great
ing one of the principal grievances OF
the California oil producers. Garfield
says. "The investigation has shown
clearly one glaring defect in the in
terstate commerce law, viz: method OF
filing and publishing tariffs. As long
as the state rate is not forced to be
made public, all manner of devices tC
evade the purpose of the law are pos
sible. All state rates used in connec'
ton with interstate shipments should
be filed with the commission, and rad
ical changes made in the direction oi
simplifying the tariffs"

The chief reason for this action on
