They Want Lower Rates.

PORTLAND, April 16.-A sensation
resulted in the Spokane terminal rate
hearing before Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty, when an amend.
ed and supplemental petition in inter.
vention was filed by j. N. Teal, at.
torney for Portland jobbingIinterests,
which appear as i~ntervenors in the
action.
The petition prays for additional
readjustment of all rates from coast
points to the interior and,:alleges the
present freight charges are exorbitant
and unjust. Commissioner Prouty
said he feared that the petition would
introduce q new issue into the hearing
and preferred not to gosinto q general
rate revision at this time. At the
same time, he allowedithe petition to
be fled.
The Defendants, who are the three
tr anscontinental railroads entering
Spokane, now have two foes to fight.
Joining hands with them in opposing
the Spokane terminal rates are the
coast jobbers. But should Spokane
win their case, then;thelformer allies
OF the railroads will turn against them
and fight for reduction eastward as
we'll as west.

KANSAS CITY, April 16.-The hear

railroads are seeking to prevent the

souri, from enforcing the maximum
freight rate law was resumed here to-
day. The law was passed two years
ago and the suit has been dragging
along ever since. Three railroads are
making the fight and endeavoring to
show that the law is unjust, in that it
would compel the roads to accept
freight, especially livestock, at q rate
that would be ruinous to them. The
roads that are making the fight are

little into each others eyes. That has

state In which another person becomes

Gods creation and demolishes our Ia.
borious theories with a smile; in which
our ideas are so bound up with the one
master thought that ven the trivial
cares Of our own person become so
many acts Of devotion. and the love of
life itself is translated into a wish to
remain in the same world with so
precious and desirable a fellow crea-

IDAHO LAND FRAUDS.
Senator Borah and Other Prominent
Men Accused Of Graft.

BOISE, Idaho, April 17.-There is
no longer any doubt that Senator
Rorah is indicted for conspiracy to
defraud the government. Borah left
last night for Washington to see the
president and attorney general.
Nothing will be done here in the mat.
ter until after the Haywood trial.
District Attorney Rulk and Inspector
Allen, who gathered most of the evi.
dence against Borah, are now in
Washington.
WASHINGTON, April lit is al
legged that pressure was brought to
bear on the president by Senator
Borsh. Of Idaho, to suppress evidence
against Borah which is alleged to
have caused an indictment for alleged
land frauds. It Is understood here
that papers in the case have been sent
to the attorney general for review and
that the president is asked to intervene
in favor of Borah.
It is alleged that the investig alton
by the Idaho federal grand jury was
started by facts furnished by adher.
ents of Meyer, Haywood and Petit.
bone, labor men charged with com.
plicity In the murder of the late ex.
Governor Steunenberg. Borah was
connected as attorney for the Barber
Lumber company. That company has
for years been procuring fraudulent
timber entries, 1t Is said.
1t is believed one of the greatest ma
tional ensstions ever stirred up Is in
store when all the facts come out. II
is said that the late Governor Steunen.
berg and his brother, Frank, were in.
volved, also Governor Goodiug. It
will be charged that Frank came to
Washington as an employe of the
manager of the Barber Lumber COM
pany to push through patents to
fraudulent claims.
It is claimed that labor men desired
to prove the murdered man was not
the paragon of virtue 1t is claimed he
was; hence they started the investiga.
ton into the facts alleged to have
foated around Boise for four years
or more.
