ring Complaint with Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Ask Investigation

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1a.-The COM
plant prepared by the North Pacific
Lumber association, charging discrim-
ination and Illegal action against prac-
tically all the important western and
northwestern railroads, was filed with the
interstate commerce commission today.
1t asserts that the Union Pacific and
other western and northwestern lines by
concert of action absolutely fixes rates
on all forest products from the Pacific
northwest to eastern destinations.
1t alleges that the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific dominate and CON
troll the Burlington company through
ownership of its stock. that the Union
Pacific dominates and controls the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation company, the
Oregon Short Line and the Southern Pa
cific by virtue of ownership of the ma
jority of their capital stock and by other
devices and arrangements SO that there
is no competition between them; that
the Southern Pacific dominates and con-
trolls the Oregon & California and the
ownership of the majority of the rail-
road stock by lease or otherwise.
1t is asserted that the railroads have
advanced rates 5 to 10 cents hundred
pounds, effective on November /, on all
forest products; that the rates are ex-
cessive, extortionate, prohibitive and dis
criminatory, and that If exacted the lum-
ber industry of the northwest will be
seriously injured if not destroyed.
The complainants aver that they have
s6O,OOO,0OO capital invested in their indus
tries and employ 10000 people; that their
annual payroll aggregates $20,000,000 and
that they pay in freight $12, 100000 an
nually for 10000 carloads of forest
products.
They also allege that the railroads are
jointly imposing excessive rates on ship
pers in order to pay dividends on Excess
sive stock and bond issues.
The commission is asked to adjust these
rates fairly and equitably.

Panama, according to Miss Helen "
BOSWELL, who recently returned from
that land of matrimonial opportunities,
after having organized, on behalf of the

You may not think it, Miss BOSWELL
said, In talking to the Womens Repub-

but no woman need remain unmarried
in Panama. The activities of Cupid on
the Isthmus are tremendous. There are
scores of lonely bachelors all longing,
no doubt, for the comforts of a home, and
so the place is a great matrimonial mar

Miss BOSWELL also gave some other in
teresting glimpses of unofficial life at
Panama. OF the class distinctions she
said: There are the officials ladies and
the clerical ladies and the steam shovel
ladies' The clerical ladies don't care
to know the steam shovel ladies, and
the official ladies feel that their posi-
tion is much superior to that of the cler-
ical ladies'. That is why it needed an
outsider to organize the women into
clubs. There were women on the isthmus
who could have done the work just as

TRIAL OF STEVE ADAMS
Detective James Mcfarland Tells OF
Securing Confession from Pris-
oner, Holding Out Hope Of
Good Treatment

BY Associated Press
RATHDRUM, Idaho. Nov. 13-Progres!
in the trial of Steve Adams, for the
alleged murder of Fred Tyler, was de-
layed this afternoon to permit Clarence
Darrow, chief counsel for Adams, to &c
to Spokane and have specialist exam
inc his ear.
Had the trial not been delayed the
state would have finished with its testi-
mony in chief.
A great part of the day was taken
up in a cross examination of James Nc
Parland. Mr.. Darrow, attorney for the
defense, went into the history of Nc
Parland, following 1t from his birth
to the time of the arrest of Steve Adams.
MCFARLAND said he went to work for the
Pinkerton agency about 1869, and has
been with 1t ever since.
He told of the Molly Maguires and that
he was a member of the order for two
tanning evidence against, them, and that
as a result of his investigation Is
men were hanged, and later five or six
more were hanged. Mcfarland has ex-
planned that he was a native of Ireland,
and when. asked If the Molly Maguires
were the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
replied shortly, mo; it was secret GRIM
inal organization
4 Going to the Adams confession, Mr..
Darrow said he had heard from McPar-
land that he had told Adams Bible
stories of characters redeemed after hav-
ing sinned, and that he knew of GRIM
inals who had not been prosecuted after
turning states evidence, like kelly, the
bum," who ''peached" in the Molly
Mcguire case.
$50 you told him of Bible characters
to insure him of his souls safety, and
of Kelly the bum to insure him that his
body would be safer" asked Mr.. Darrow.
Il told him that the state most al
ways helped men who acted fairly with
it," replied MCFARLAND.
The state lacks the testimony, in per-
son. of William B. Chandler, who was
with a fishing party about the time of the
Tyler killing in Marble creek district, and
who has fled to Butte fearing that he
will meet with foul play should he testi-
fly against Adams.
His testimony taken at Wallace was
introduced through affidavit, it being
shown that the states attorneys had re-
ceived a telegram from Chandler that he
would not come here. Chandler's testi-
mony supports that of George H. Root of
Wallace and Steve Logan, both claim
holders in August, 1904. on Marble creek,

Pierce, Mason. Glover and others.
