BY JACOB WAlDECk

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-High
charges exacted by the express
companies are explained by the
confession, just made at Albany,
that the three big concerns have a
community of interest" These
are the American, Adams and
United States express companies.
The result is that if General Public
doesn't like the treatment given
him by any of the companies he
can go to another Of them-and get
exactly the same deal. 1t is only
a difference of labels.
When the Adams company de-
clared an extra dividend of 200 per
cent last summer the stockholders
Of the United States company be.
gan to sit up and rub their eyes.
They had received only per cent
dividends for several years and the
Adams melon prompted them to de-
mand a similar division. Senator
Tom Platt president of the COM
pany, handed them lemon in
stead. Business had been falling
of, he said, and 4 per cent divi-
dends were the best them could eX-
pect.
Then the rebels organized and
hired a couple of first class law
yers. They mustered majority Of
the $10,000,000 capital stock and
demanded that the directors call a
meeting of stockholders for the
election of a new board of direc-
tors. The directors didn't feel like
taking any such action. They
haven't felt like it since 1862, when
the last election took place. Since
that time the board Of directors has
perpetuated itself. A new election
can be forced only by twothirds OF
the stockholders. The rebels have
only a common majority.
The latter made an investigation
which convinced them that the
company has assets to the amount
OF $20,000000, or twice the amount
of the capital stock. They discov.
cred that the concern earned u
per cent last year and that the
earnings this year are at the rate
of 10 per cent.
This showing and the insistent
demands of the stockholders led
the directors to increase the divi-
dend. in October, to the rate of 6
per cent per year.
The rebels, still dissatisfied, ap-
pealed to the public service com
mission at Albany to investigate
the affairs OF the company. AT the
preliminary hearing the attorney
for the company stated that it was

CONTEST SUINDA CLOSING

the city asking that the theaters
be closed on Sunday. The ministers
first requested Prosecuting Attor-
ney Macintosh to enforce the law,
but were informed that the prose
cutting attorney has no means of
securing information. The request
was then made of Mayor Moore.
The mayor stated that he bad de-
cided to close the Sunday theaters,
although, personally, he does not
see any harm in Sunday theater-
going.
81 will serve notice on the the
aters of the CITY," said Mayor
Moore, that the opening of play
houses next Sunday will be met
with arrest. AS Mr.. Macintosh
says he has no means of acting in
this case unless charges are pre-
ferred, l will instruct the police de-
partment to arrest violatOrs of the
law and turn the cases over to
Macintosh for prosecution.
THE statute is one of the blue
laws that has not been enforced
in this state since 1881"

ALL they ASK IS
CHANCE TO WORK

NORTH YAKIMA, Nov. 29.-The
North Powder Lumber Co., W. r.
Kivette, president, which has a
large Idaho contract on hand, has
opened for work again, under an
agreement with its employees ex-
tending to Jan. /. The company
paid off It's men in full, $1,000, Nov.
/, for October, and, on account OF
the stringency in money matters,
shut down. A majority of the men,
knowing the fine run of logs yet on
hand, proposed to work until
Christmas and wait for their pay
if the company would pay their liv-
ing expenses meantime, and then,
in case money was no easier, TO
take the companys due bills at 80
days. BY this cooperative meas
ure, the company is enabled to
meet its obligation and the men are
not out of work or at the expense
of seeking elsewhere for employ
ment.

LITTLE DANGER
OF FORGERIES

Some uneasiness has been mani
tested over the possibility of clear
ing house certificates being forged.
Inquiry at banks and places of
business show that not single
forgery has yet been discovered
out of the hundreds of certificates
that are handled daily. 1t is also
shown that forgeries of the certi-
ficates would be quickly noticed by
the banks. which receive the certl.
ficates daily on deposit. and the
whole power of the American
Bankers association would be in
stantly brought to bear to run the
forger 10 earth.
1t would be as dangerous TO
forge these certificates as TO forge
national bank notes, and few
crooks, knowing the merciless pur'
suit which would ensue, would care
to take chances for the compare
lively fe wdollars they could make
out of forgery OF this nature.

PLATTS EXPRESS TRUST
HAS DOUBLE FIGHT ON

an association, not Incorporated,
and he denied the power of the le-
gislature to regulate the powers of
its directors. He admitted that the
three companies had a community
of interest," but claimed that with
out such cooperation their stock
would be worthless. 1t would be
impossible for them to make a rea-
sonable profit.
The rebellious stockholders
showed that the directors of the
company received $500 a year
each for serving on the board. In
addition T. c. Plat receives $685.
900 year as president II. Crosby
$4,000 as vice president and secre-
tary. and E. r. Plat $4,000 as
treasurer.
The express trust matter will be
up for another grlling before the
public service commission next
month, about the time when the
trust itself will be fighting the par.

SORRY FOR THE
WOMAN
DESERTED WIFE'S BROTHER
BLAMES HUSBAND AND
BALLS OUT HIS COMPANION,
LEAVING FORMER IN JAIL.

The strange spectacle of a broth
err bailing out of Jail the woman
who stole his sisters husband, was
witnessed in police court this
morning when j. A. White, of Medi.
cal Lake, gave 5000 surety for
the appearance of Mrs. E. V. Syn.
der.
Mrs. Snyder and F. H. Beck were
arrested recently on charge of
unlawful cohabitation. This morn.
ing Attorney Gleason, who repre-
scented them, asked for a separate
jury trial for each. Justice Hinkle
allowed this and after a jury for
Beck was called Attorney Don
Kizer, for the stated, moved that
it be dismissed and gave notice
that he would file statutory
charge instead. After the jury was
discharged the case against the
two was heard and the woman put
under a 5000 bond and man under
$500 bond to guarantee their ap-
pearance in the superior court
Beck was unable to furnish bail
and was taken to Jail.
Nine women testified that the
pair had lived together in three diff
ferent lodging houses as man and
wife, and that Beck represented
himself to be the father of Mrs
Snyder's two small children. The
accused offered no defense. The
evidence indicated that they had
been living together for two years,
following Beeh's desertion of his
wife and five children at Medical
Lake after they had lived together
for 10 years.
Mr.. White, Mrs. Beck's brother,
who went bond for Mrs. Snyder,
would not explain his reasons for
doing so except to say he blamed
Beck more than the woman and he
did not want to see her compelled
to await trial before the higher
court in jail.

SEATTLE, Nov. 29.-The Sun
day closing law as applied to
theaters will be tested here as the
result of an order issued by Mayor
Moore that theaters come under
the ban and managers who keep
their places of amusement open
next Sunday will be arrested.
The theater men have agreed to
fight the law and an injunction will
be applied for restraining the
mayor and chief of police from en-
forcing the law until the supreme
court disposes Of motion for re-
hearing of Tacoma case. Under
the 80 days time limit allowed for
filing such motions the theater
men will claim immunity until an
opinion is handed down. 1t is
pointed out that this method was
resorted to in Kansas City, where
the theaters have been kept open
Sundays for months, pending a de-
cision.
The orders issued by Mayor
Moore are the outcome of a move
ment started by the ministers of

ALLEYS NEED
FUM|GAT|ON

There has been much complaint
of late about the unsanitary condl-
ton of many alleys. Whether the
health department inspectors are
negligent in their duties with re-
gard to alleys or are too taken up
with other work, is not stated, but
the fact remains that alleys have
become extremely dirty and the
health board is making no attempts
to have them cleaned Restaurants
are careless about what refuse
they throw outside and when q
garbage barrel oyerflows some OF
them pile the refuse in the alleys,
where 1t leaves its guilty stain.
The stencil around some of these
places is a crime against the sense
of smell and menace TO health.

the law as printed. There was no
amendment made in the senate of
this section, nor could there have
been an amendment made in the
house, for in such case the bill
would have been returned to the
senate. Since these words do not
appear in the printed law, it Is OBJ
viously through some error after
the enactment of the bill.
Even without these words, it is
my belief that section 33, which
provides that the provisions of the
statute in relation to the holding of
elections and all other kindred sub
jects shall apply to all primaries in
sofar as they are consistent with
this act, and also the provisions OF
section IA, that all primary cleo
lions shall be conducted as requir-
ed by general elections under the
general election laws, are amply
sufficient to cover the prohibition
of the sale of liquors during the
hours of the primaries"
Saloons were not closed in Spo-
kane at the primary election in the
last city campaign and they have
remained opened generally through
out the state in primary elections
already held.

FIVE KILLED IN
COLLISION

WATERBURY,, Conn, Nov. 90
Five passengers, three of them
women, were killed and eight in
jured this morning in a collision
between a trolley car and freight
train bound for Hartford.
The dead were horribly mangled
and identification of the bodies was
impossible.
Gateman Flaven, who has been
arrested, said he did not see the
approaching freight and permitted
the conductor of the trolley to sig
nal his car to cross the tracks, but
when the motorman saw the train
approaching he turned on the cur
rent throwing off the automatic
switch.
The train struck the car with
terrific force and crushed it like a
shell. The trolley car conductor
is also under arrest.

LUMBER RATE
CASE ARGUED

The lumbermen's fight against
the railroad rate increase of 10
cents per 100 pounds, as it affects
the federal jurisdiction of Judge
Wilson's court, is being carried
on here this afternoon.
John p. Hartman is making the
argument he has already made in
Seattle and Portland court against
the legality of the federal courts
assuming jurisdiction to grant the
injunction asked for by the hum
bermen to prevent the rates being
made effective until they are pass
ed on by the interstate commrce

Evidence Is accommodating that
saloon forces at the last session of
the legislature deliberately mutilat-
ed the direct primary law after its
passage. The law as printed and
circulated does not provide for pro-
hibition during the time the polls
are open, while it is stated most
emphatically by members of the
house and senate that section 33 of
the bill provided for closing saloons
just as Is done on regular cleo
ton day.
Representative Alexander Gregg,
Of Spokane, who gave the direct
primary bill careful attention and
was responsible as much as anyone
for It's passage in the house, said
today he was positive that the orig
inal bill as adopted provided for
the closing of saloons on the day
the primary election takes place.
Mr.. Gregg stated that ReDresen-
tative Kirkpatrick, democratic
member of the house, and himself,
made it their business to read the
bill as it was being written on the
day of its final passage and he is
as positive as a man can be that
section 33 provided for closing sa-
looms on the day the primary cleo
ton takes place.
Senator George Cottrill, of Seat
tie, says he is also positive that
the closing of saloons on that day
was fully provided for and says the
bill has been doctored since its
final passage or an error has crept
in when it was in the hands of the
printer.
Senator Metcalf, who introduced
the bill in the senate. says, section
33 contained the prohibition clause,
and as the bill was passed this sec
ton read:
1.-The provisions of the statutes
