LUMBERMEN HIT AGAIN.
Increase in Loading Requirements Are
Almost Prohibitory.


Seattle, Aug. 14.-Lumbermen
were notified that the Central
Freight Association, controlling traf-
fic Of Chicago, has advanced the min
imum loading requirements on lum-
ber and shingles from 1000 to 5000
a car, the advance depending upon
the car lengths. No consideration is
given to the fact that cars are loaded
now to their fill visible capacity.
The effect Is a sharp advance in
rates and will drive Pacific Coast
lumber and shingles out of the ter
ritory east Of Chicago unless they
are handled by the Isthmian route or
around the Horn.
Several months ago certain East
ern lines attempted to advance rates
2 to cents a hundred pounds, but
the advance was withdrawn. A later
order was even more drastic. Lum-
Der and shingle associations on the
entire coast are preparing to fight
the proposed increase in rates from
Pacific Coast points, and steps were
taken to make fight against the
new minimum loading rules, coinci-
dent with the struggle against the
Western lines.
Aside from the California Red
wood Association, which Is not yet
pledged to raise a defense fund the
lumbermen of the coast have in sight
a $250,000 defense fund, sufficient to
take up the contest against the new
loading rules, as we'll as the rate con-
test. The claim is made by lumber
men that shipments are made by
joint rate and that the Central Bu-
reau cannot apply the new loading
rules at Chicago,

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. G..
FIGHT FOR CANTEEN.
Spanish War Veterans Plan to Storm
Next Congress.

Washington, Aug. l4.-The fight to
restore the canteen at army posts is to
be reopened with renewed vigor next
winter. Plans have been perfected for
making a strong appeal to congress to
wipe from the statute books the anti
canteen legislation. All prominent
officers of the army in their reports to
the department making suggestions for
the improvement of the army urge the
re-establishment of the canteen.
Aside from the great mass Of these
reports, which may not be considered
to express disnterested opinion, the
Spanish War veterans are sending
thousands Of letters in behalf Of the
"canteen. The veterans last year opened
campaign which was vigorously pros
ecuted until congress refused to amend
the law. They have prepared once
again to make a fight and expect to
win this time with the argument that
the w. G. T. u, the liquor dealers
association and disreputa BILE resorts
have combined to prevent the re-
establishment Of the canteen.
When some of the literature which
has been prepared is circulated the W.
G. T. IT,, which forced congress to
abolish the canteen, will put on its
armor and enter the list in repudiation
of some of the charges concerning the
interests which are alleged to be work
ing with it. The veterans seem deter
mined to join issue, and lively times
may be expected when congress meets
in December.

out Aid of Zimmerman.

ager Louis Glass, of the Pacific
States Telephone Company, charged

dent Emil J. thinner

MILLIONAIRE COMPANY FAILS
Unable to Meet Obligations 1t Goes
Into Receivership.

Boston, Aug. 15.-The Pope Man.
ufacturing Company, one of the lead
ing manufacturers of automobiles,
went into the hands of receiver to-
day. The receivership, it is stated,
is the outcome of the tightened
money conditions. 1t is added, how
ever, that the assets of the company
amount to many times its liabilities.
Albert 1. Pope, son of Colonel A.
A. Pope, was appointed receiver for
the company by Federal Judge
Dodge for the district of Massachu-
setts. The McManus-Kelly Company
of Toledo, were applicants for the re-
ceivorship.
The latest financial statement of
the Pope Manufacturing Company,
published in June, places the current
liabilities at $2,O00,000, with assets
at 100000.

BODY BLOWS FOR OCTOPUS.
Prosecution Will Continue Until Great
Oil Trust Is No More.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Where is
the next "trust-busting" blow to be
struck That is the question that has
been raised by the resumption of activ-
ity at the department Of justice today.
Attorney General Bonaparte has cut in
upon his vacation to come back here
and set certain things in action. He
will remain in Washington for two
weeks before resuming his quest Of
recreation. During the period of his
stay something important is likely to
break loose.
Mystery surrounds all prospective
developments. The attorney general
acts and talks like a man who is anx-
ious to do something drastic to force
antitrust offenders to book in some
manner that will serve better pur-
pose than the imposing of fines.
That there are other antitrust pro-
ceedings than those lately in the lime
light to receive attention in the near
future was strongly intimated today.
No details will be given out, however,
until matters have reached focus. AS
to Standard Oil, it was limited that the
fines already imposed are but begin
ming, and that before the government
is through with the parent of all trusts
the giant corporation may be mulcted
of millions and that the lands imposi-
tion will be made to seem mere baga-
telle.
1t was also indicated that suit to dis
solve the Standard Oil corporation, in
stituted at st. Louis, is to be prosecut-
ed with particular vigor. What form
the effort OF the government to break
up the Standard eventually may take
is not certain but it is said that some
move is in contemplation that will be
more effective than the receivership
ideas evolved with respect to certain
other trusts, and upon which the de-
partment Of justice is inclined to pride
itself greatly.
There is little doubt that the admin
istration has set to work to knock the
Standard Oil company out OF existence,
if such contamination be possible.

BOTH SIDES FIRM.
Working Forces Unchanged at Port
land Offices.

land Offices.
Portland, Aug. 16.-With both the
strikers and the telegraph companies
claiming the victory in the local strike,
conditions in Portland are much the
same as they were yesterday morning.
Today is expected to mark the crisis OF
the trouble and each side announces its
confidence in the outcome.
Managers of the telegraph companies
say they have the situation we'll in hand
and that the strikers have lost. On
the other hand the striking operators
say they have the local companies tied
up and the ranks are standing firm.
They say the telegraph companies are
using the mails to dispatch their mes
sages and that unless the operators are
taken back at their own terms the pres
ent serious tie-up of all lines of busi-
ness will continue indefinitely.
A feature of the situation yesterday
was an appeal to the police by Manager
Dumars, of the Western Union, for
to messengers hired as
strike breakers. He asserts that strik-
ing union messenger boys interfere SER
iously with those hired to deliver tele-
grams.
St1ikebreakers are being quartered
in the Western Union Office, cots hav-
ing been placed there, and after their
trick at the keys is finished they sleep
there, ready to begin work again as
soon as they awake. The strikebreak-
ers are said to be we'll cared for and
Manager Dumars says he is feeding
them porterhouse steaks. Their meals
are brought in to them.

learned that Caid Sir Harry Mac
Lean, the Englishman in the service
of the Sultan of Morocco who has

WILL COLLECT THE FINE.
Attorney General Bonaparte Will Gel
Cash or Bust Company.

New York, Aug. 3.-Attorney-
General Bonaparte, who visited
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay,
stopped for a brief period in this
city before going to his home in Bal
timore.. While here he talked fully
of his conference with the President
and intimated that next month
might bring further developments Of
Importance in the campaign against
alleged lawbreaking corporations.
Il do not wish to make any secret
of the fact that the talk between the
President and myself was in refer
ence to the fine imposed by Judge
Lands against the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana" said Mr.. Bon
aparte. 1--WE discussed that, also
what step should be taken as result
of the investigation of the interstate
Commerce Commission on the Har-
riman railroad system. What will
be done in regard to both these ques-
tions l cannot tell at the present
time"
"Will the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana be forced to pay the fine
if it's appeal fails?"
THAT is a question, the answer to
which can only be found in the fu-
ture," said Mr.. Bonaparte smiling.
THE President and l talked over
the amount of the fine imposed by
the courts and we both sympathized
very much with the company" add
ed the Attorney-General, and his
smile broadened.
But how can the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana pay fine of
over $29, 100000 on a capital of only
$1,0O0,O00?" he was asked.
"If the decision just obtained is
affirmed by the Court of Appeals,
then we will go after our money and
get it in some way" answered Mr..
Bonaparte. ut is true that stone
has no blood" he added, but
stone may be ground up"
