CHARGED WITH
UNFAIR RATES
Portland Chamber of Com
merCe Files Complaint
Against 0. R. & N. Co.

Portland, Ore, July so.-The most i'm
portant and far-reaching legal action yet
brought before the Oregon state rail-
road commission, since the creation Of
that body by the last legislature, was
a suit against the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company, filed with the com
mission at Salem today by counsel for
the Portland chamber of commerce.
The complaint was filed on behalf of To-
cal manufacturers, merchants iobbers
and shippers and the purposes of the
suit are to compel the Oregon Railway
q Navigation company to grant Portland
shippers "a fair, just and reasOnabI
rate" in place of the present excessive
unfair unjust and illegal rates; to com
pei the company, which is designated as
a public service corporation and com
mon carrier" to produce before the com
mission at the time when the suit shall
be heard, its tariff schedules, books, re-
ports and other documents as may be
necessary

To a reporter Sheriff Campbell said:
Cyrus Jones. the Dewitt county coro-

of the death of Mrs. Pet Magill, stated to

on the part Of AIagill led to suspicion
The sheriffs wife made this statement.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-07-21
Points in Complaint.

The complaint sets forth, in brief:
That rates are excessive and discriruina-
tive against Portland shippers
That the rates are from 80 to 115 per
cent higher per ton per mile basis than
those Of other roads where conditions are
similar.
That these rates can be reduced ma
terially without reducing the companv's
surplus, or preventing II from earning
sufficient TO pay a fair return on invest
mentS.
That the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company has been creating an enormous
sinking fund to pay off bonded indebted-
ness, depreciation and other accounts
and also the same, or a large part of If
has been charged to operating expenses
That Notwithstanding the enormous
sums spent on permanent improvements
and betterments, the actual surplus from
operation of the road has increased at an
enormous rate.

MOB WEAKENED
At LAST MOMENT
Tragedy at HahnviIIe, La,
Averted by FirmneSS of CON-
mander of the Militia.

Hahnviile, La, July IA dozen mill
tiamen faced a mob Of 100 would be
lynchers here early today and without fir
ing n shot sent them peaceably back to
New Orleans. Control over the mob was
gained at the moment when an unequal
fight threatened by a remark drawled
in softest accent by militiaman, who
remarked:
ANY of you fellows got cigarette?"
laugh ran through the crowd, and
with this break in the tension an ugly
situation cleared UP.
The posse had arrived at Hahnville on
a freight train RumOrS that a mob was
coming had OccasiOned the placing of ex-
ira sentries by the militia.
Started for the Jail.
The posse jumped from the freight train
at the railroad station. which is over
mile from the Jail, covered two telegra phi
operators with their reVOlvers in order
to prevent an alarm and then started for
the Jail
A short distance from the railroad sta
ton the mob suddenly was confronted by
Major Wheat and a bare handful of his
men. With the militiamens guns leveled
at their waists, the members of the mob
halted, reVOlveTs and clubs held in menac-
ing positions. Scarcely a man moved
and not a word was spoken for nearly
minute and Their the miiitiaman with the
happy inspiration recalled the comrade-
ship of both sides by his timely request
for smoke. Immediately a leader in the
mob spoke up:
1--WE want just a word with the cap
tain"
No Time for Talk.
Major Wheat replied that there would
be no talking; that unless the mob
marched Immediately for the railroad sta
ton he would give the order to fire.
This appeared to be what the mob had
come TO find out, for some of them ex-
claimed:
Come on, boys, we are going back"
and all started for the railroad They
had reached the track and were proceed
ing to the station when the special train
bearing the reinforcements came in at a
speed which forced several men who were
crowded on a low trestle to jump into a
creek. No one was hurt, and the emptied
special was reloaded with the mob MEM
bers and sent to New Orleans.
