the Standard Oil Company in it's
answer to the petition of the govern

supreme court has ruled that it was
the duty of the shipper to ascertain
the published rate, but declares that
the supreme court has ruled that the
shipper must adhere to the rates pub
lished. The answer denies that the
case should be reopened to establish

CLASH IS
AVOIDED
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FISH
ERIES DISPUTE AMIGA
BLY, SETTLED.
Conference of Governors Decides
that Matters In Controversy Be
Submitted to the Federal Courts
for Decision---Suit to Restrain
Oregon Authorities.

ference between Gov. Albert r. Mead,
of Washington, and Gov. George E.
Chamberlain, of Oregon, concerning
the disputed rights Of the two states
in the fisheries of the Colubmia river,
took place at 10 a. M, at the Oregon
hotel. There were present also Assist
ant Attorney General I. B. Knnicker-
booker, Fish Commissioner John L.
Riseland and Deputy Fish Commits
sioner Link Burton, of Washington ;
and Master Fish Warden H. G. McAllis-
ter and the attorney general of Oregon.
At the conference, the Oregon fish
ing laws were considered in connection
with the articles by which the state
was admitted into the Union. These
articles confer on the state of Oregon
concurrent jurisdiction over the Co.
lumbia river from shore to shore, as
also do the articles by which Washing
ton became state. The Washington
delegation agreed with Gov. Chamber
lain that the Oregon authorities had
only one course to follow, and that is
to enforce the written statutes.
The conference, however, led to an
understanding between the representa-
tives of the two states that a test case
should be brought in the federal court
and their respective rights be deter
mined by litigation.
s'I came down here to avoid fight
and possible bloodshed,'' said Gov.
Mead after the conference, ''and I
think have accomplished this result.
I have instructed Assistant Attorney
General Knickerbocker to bring suit in
the federal court to determine the
rights Of the states in the matter. A
restraining order against the Oregon
authorities will be asked for, and if
this is granted, the Washington fisher
men can continue their fishing without
molestation until the case has been
fought out in court.
''This was the understanding we
reached after thorough discussion of
the matter at the conference. Any
compromise was impossible, for there
is direct conflict of the laws in the
two states, ours permitting fishing af-
ter September 10, while the Oregon
laws declare a closed season during
the same time. Neither of us could
change the law or agree to disregard
our plain duty in the matter. The only
solution VISA to throw the matter into
the federal coruts. The Oregon author
tiles did not agree to this plan, for
it was out of their province to agree,
but they also wish to avoid an open
breach between the states and will
treat the matter literally.
''We expect to start the suit quickly,
so that there need be no further con-
fiict between the Washington fishermen
and the Oregon authorities. A num-
Der of RESTS have been made in Wash
ingtonawaters, and if this continues
there will certainly be serious trouble.
For that reason. we hope to secure a
restraining order at once. Thus far
the Oregon officials have not been rad
ical in their actions Although num-
Der of arrests have been made, the fish
ermen have not been taken into Ore
gon, but have been simply released on
their own recognizance.

Curren-y Legislation in Congress.
There are three bills pending in
congress for the reform of the cur
rency. No one of them is wholly
satisfactory to the people who be-
lieve that the mass of the people
should control the volume of the
currency. Curiously enough no one Is
entirely satisfactory to the financiers
who think that the banks should
control the circulating medium. A
bill introduced b. Senator Aldrich
provides for the issuance of two
hundred and fifty million dollars OF
emergency currency by national
banks. One would think that the ma
tional banks would be the first TO
applaud and approve SUN meas
ure. AS matter of fact the presiden-
of one of the great national banks
in Washington appears today with
statement opposing the bill on
the plea that 1t should not provide
for merely s25O,OO0,O00 but for $780,
100000 of such circulation.
Another bill provides for a central
bank. This measure never will get
out of the committee. Its existence
merely means tnat the solution OF
the currency question will be ham
pered by its existence.
third bin provides for an asset
currency. This, too. will never get
out OF the committee.
A fourth, the Fowler bill, makes
provision for the guarantee OF de-
posits In National banks. Naturally
the Fowler bill does not specifical-
ly provide for the increase OF the
circulating medium but 1t does pro-
vide for the increase of public con-
fidence among depositors. Given

tors whether state or national, the
