IRE PRIT4TE PROPERTY"
Says Supreme Court IN Deciding
for Railroad.

Washington, March 23.-The case of the In
terstate Commerce Commission VS. the Chicago
Great Western Railway Company known as the
meat rate case, involving the right of the COM
pany to reduce the freight rate on livestock
products without making a similar reduction in
the rate on livestock itself. was decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States to-day in
favor OF the company. The suit was instituted
IL the interest OF Chicago, it being alleged that
the change had worked hardship TO that city
by diverting shipments of livestock to St Paul
and TO Missouri River points. The Interstate
Commerce Commission found that the change of
the rate on one article without a corresponding
change on the other unlawful but the court
to-day refused to uphold that view. Justice
Brewer found the reduction to be due
petition and therefore rather con1rnendable than
otherwise He laid down the following general
proposition:
II must be reTnemb bered that railroads are the
private property of their owners; that while
from the public character of the work in which
they are engaged the public has the power to
prescribe rules for securing faithful and efficient
service and equality between shippers and com
munities. yet in no proper sense is the public
general manager. II follows that railroad COM
paIies may contract with shippers for a single
transportation for successive transportstions,
subject though II may be 10 a change OF rates
in the manner provided in the interstate
merce act.

SCLZER FILIBUSTERS.
But Does Not Greatly Alarm the
House By His Threats.
From The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington. March 23.-The Hon. William Sui
OF the East Side OF New York City, fearless
champion OF the common peepul," has organized
hIibuster in the House which If carried on with
the vigor he exhibited to-day, may protract the
present session.
This irrepressibIe statesman has obtained the
promised cooperation of twenty-five Democrats.
whose present intentions under his leadership,
prevent all unanimous consent legislation and
10 make themselves consistently obnoxious.
Mr Sulzer has announced that he will demand
the tedious rollcall at every opportunity and be-
come much of nuisance as possible to all who
seriously seek TO enact legislation. His threats,
however DO greatly disturb his colleagues, who
believe the same amount Of work be done
with little delay. despite the on1inous attitude OF
the New Yorker.
The feelings OF HTr. SuIzer were wounded to-day
because the House passed a resolution expunging
from the record certain remarks he IS said 10 have
made last Saturday claiming he originated the idea
Of e bureau of corporations. Mr- Mann, who intro
duced the resolution, declared that Nj sulzeT
had so amended his speech overnight as to make
II state exactly the reverse Of what he said
the floor, and asked that the original remarks be
printed Mr.. Sulzer first protested and then sHore
vengeance
: resolution offered by Mr.. Mann TO ezpunge the
printed speech adopted by strict party vote,
but not until after the House had been treated 70
bitter denunciation Of Mr.. Mann by Mr. Sulzer
and several lively Tits between the latter and the
Speaker M sulzer characterized Mr.. Mann

for which he was called order by the Speaker,
with the adnlonitiou that such language could not
pc used toward member. Twice afterwaTd. in
seeking 70 justify his claim Of authorship, he
interrupted by the Speaker with similar warning.
Anticipating that his speech would be ruled out.
and with view getting II back into the record.
M SuIzer -esorted q piece Of strategy by try
ing 10 have the speech read, and later endeavorns
% read il himself. but the Speaker insisted that
he could address himself only 70 the resolution to

S-larting under the action Of the Republicans. Mr..
s7,Izer for the remainder Of the day posed as an
obstructonist He objected 20 all unanimous con-
sent propositions and halted the proceedings of

Justice Harlan deemed the case Of sufficient

"Oh, What a Night" Miss Harper
is one Of the prettiest and cleverest
actresses that ever appeared with q

ably supported, especially in the lead
ing roles.
The Harper stock company was in
Pendleton all during fair week and
despite this fact and the large num-
Der Of other attractions, the plays
they presented drew fairly good
houses after II was found that the
character OF the troupe was above
that Of the average stock company.
"Oh, What a Night" will be pre-
sented at the Oregon theater Monday
night. II is a real comedy, being one
Of Broadhurst's and Curry's best pro-
ductions.

Cat and Fiddle Attractive.

Although dependant for many pret-
ty effects upon scenery that could
not be put on the small stage at the
New oregon, the "Cat and the Fid-
die" production last night was one OF
the most attractive novelties that has
been offered in Pendleton for many
days.
The attraction was OF the eXtrava-
ganza type, its trick effects and
startling novelties being much on the
order Of the Evil Eye" and Devils
Auction" which made Chas II. Yale's
name famous. The costumes were
pretty, the scenes-such us could be
hung-pretty and effective, the Choir
us passable, although neither OF sur
passing beauty nor voice, the humOr
grotesque. but through il all ran a
rather coarse tone of suggestion that
was soemwhat distasteful, heing Who'll
ly unnecessary. slH9
The affair offers an opportunity for
Charles Slosson to play the tramp
Happy" in a manner neither distinc-
tive nor original, although the man
succeeded in getting many laughs.
Dutch and Irish comedians of the
slap-stic variety were thrown in for
good measure. The feature of the
thing, however, was the eccentric
dancing Of the Elmore sisters. who
have few terpischorean equals on the
stage and their delightful shreking
burlesque Of grand opera.
Joking aside, many of the gags
sprung during the evening were from
the almanac of 1922. as suggested in
the topical song in whicn the three
comedians divided favor.
