RAILROAD RESUMES
ATTACK ON RATE
Southern Pacific Files Amended
Complaint, Alleging Lumber
Charges Out of Proportion

The Southern Pacific resumed yes
terday its attack upon the rate on
lumber from the Willamette valley to
San Francisco as fixed by the inter-
state commerce commission. Defeated
in their endeavors to have the rate
law declared Unconstitutional. the at
torneys for the railroad shifted their
ground and took the position that the
tariff imposed by the commission was
not only unjust and unreasonable, but
that it was lower than the cost of the
service. At the same time the law
yers for the corporation renewed their
contention that the interstate commits
sion had no power under the constitu-
tion TO cancel one rate and to substi-
tute another.
The matter came up again yester-
day before the circuit court of ap-
peal on an amended complaint fled
by the Southern Pacific. This docu-
ment~had been prepared over night
and contained the new allegations that
the rate of s3.40 on the lumber from
the Willamette valley to San Fran
cisco was far too high in proportion to
eastbound lumber rates established by
the board. The complaint set forth
that the section of road from the Will
laIneLIe TO tnlS city was one OF the
most costly in the system and that it
could be kept in repair only at a very
heavy expense. 1t was contended that
the compensation. allowed by the com
mission did not cover the cost of
transportation.
CASE SET FOR ARGUMENT
A few minutes after the amended
complaint had been filed Attorney
Luther M. Walter, representing the in
terstate commission, resubmitted his
demurrer and the case was at once set
for immediate argument.
Judges Morrow, Ross and Erskine
listened to the arguments of opposing
counsel from o'clock until in the
afternoon and will resume the hearing
at 10 o'clock this morning.
Walter opened. the. argument on be-
half of the commission and. contended
that the Southern Pacific had submit
ted nothing to show that the lumber
rate was below the cost of the service
beyond the company's bare statement
to that effect.
They must present facts to support
the allegation that the rate is con-
fiscatory," said Walter. They make
the broad statement. They do not
submit any arguments for us to meet
Before the interstate commerce com
mission they never introduced a bit
of evidence to show that the rate was
less than the cost of the service. If
they have any such proof let them take
it back to the commission as the stat

ings college of the law are prepared
to combat the movement. started by the
higher up enemies of the citys ex-
ecutive, to have his status as dean OF
to come up at a meeting of the law
college directors to be held this after
noon In the chambers of Chief Justice
w. H. Beatty in the Wells Fargo build
ing.
The story of movement to remove
Taylor as dean of the law school, on
the showing of a contract which pro-
vided that the dean must devote all
his time to the work of the school,
was told in an obviously inspired ar
ticle in the Examiner yesterday.
CONSULTS THE DIRECTORS
That the contract exists is not denied
by the directors, nor by the friends of
Mayor Taylor. The latter recall, how
ever, that when Dir. Taylor was offered
the appointment of mayor by District
Attorney Langdon he went first with
Langdon to Chief Justice Beatty of the
supreme court to find if the acceptance
his position in the law school, in which
he was much interested. The chief
justice, who is president of the board
of directors of the school, assured DR.,
Taylor that the new position would in
no way affect his post as dean of the
Hastings law college. On the contrary,
the chief justice and the other directors
who were consulted thought that the
appointment of Taylor as mayor was
a splendid thing for the city and were
anxious that he should accept.
TERMS OF THE CONTRACT
Former Justice Charles w. Slack, one
of the directors of the law school, while
declining to discuss the merits of the
pending controversy, said last evening:
II am familiar in general way with
the contract between Mayor Taylor and
the directors of the Hastings college.
That contract was prepared by the
directors to protect the position they
took that the dean of the college, who
ever he might be, should not practice
law. That was the restriction in mind
that the dean should not practice
law. However, it was drawn in general
terms and provided that the dean
should devote his entire time to the
duties of his Office"
DR.. Taylor refused to discuss the sit
uation yesterday.

ROAD EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE
Attorney W. w. Cotton opened for
the railroad. declaring that the inter-
state commission had established q
schedule for eastbound lumber at a
higher rate per ton mile than that al
lowed from the Willamette to San
Francisco He added that the road
from the Willamette was a more ex-
pensive one to build and that this
factor should have been taken into
consideration.
Attorney Peter F. Dunne argued for
the Southern Pacific that the commits
sion had gone beyond its power and
had erred in placing the Willamette
valley on basis of water competition.
He quoted from Emerson. and called
the appeal of the lumbermen IAN un-
grateful proceeding
1t is understood that the Southern
Pacific will submit in evidence the
testimony taken by the commerce COM
mission on the rate in question.

graduated by British Sports

NEW YORK, July "a protest
was filed yesterday against Fred
eric Thompson's schooner Shamrock,
the apparent winner Of the Upton Cup
for the ocean race to Cape May and
back.
The committee refused to divulge the
name of the protestor or its nature, but
1t was learned thai the complaint has
been made by Stuyvesant Wainwright,
owner of Mimosa Ill, which finished
second, 2 hours 16 minutes and 46 Sec
behind Shamrock. Shamrock's
rating has been the subject Of consider
able comment for the past week. and
the protest Is lodged on the basis of
erroneous measurement.
Before the protest was filed Mr..
Thompson cabled the news of his VIC
tory to Sir Thomas Upton as follows:

Hughes Is Downhearted.
Formerly Tom Hughes was always
the chorus-master of the Tiger Glee
Club. On every trip that l have been
with the Tigers 1t was Hughes who was
always the human tuning fork.
Yesterday, on his way to Baltimore,
he sat in another coach, apart from the
Tigers, until Manager Stallings's atten-
tion was called to Tom Hughes's mo-
roseness. The gang was "sicked" onto
Tom and only after much persuasion
did the Tigers get Tom to become COM
panionable.
Giant MiIIer's Experience.
Walter Miller, the big. sturdy MEM
Der of the Stallings pitching outfit, told
me that he once accidentally came
within an ace of killing a ball-player In
the West by hitting him with a ball.

Internationally killed his opponent.
But in every one of them the pug who
took his foes life soon quit the ring.
There seems to be a certain hoodoo
connected with the taking of a life by
accident or manning another in the
same way, but the friends of Tom
Hughes sincerely wish that he will for
get his experience and thus remove
from himself every obstacle in his way
to become the clever boxman that he is
and Tom says he is going to try to do
this, so as to be in a position to help his
teammates to get ear that Eastern
League pennant this year.

The Tigers are climbing. slowly, per-

the steady rise of the Bengals is being

all of the clubs realize that Stallings's

will probably be worked Saturday
against the Orioles and another victory
is looked for.
Manager Stallings is we'll pleased at
the showing of his men. He will keep
the team as 1t is for the rest of the
season except wherever it is possible
to get better men. 1t is doubtful at
this time if he will be able to do so,
and the Tigers will about finish the
season as they started.

hospital and for a time 1t was feared
