Seattle, June 2.-After travelling
thousands of miles, and crossing the
Atlantic twice, H. W. Anderson. is to-
day searching the exposition grounds
for his wife and two children from
whom he was separated during the
San Francisco earthquake.
Anderson was injured at the time
and in the hospital for weeks. When
he recovered he started in search for
his family, not knowing whether they
were alive or dead. Having spent
many years in London, he thought
perhaps the family had returned
there. He worked his way across the
Atlantic.
In London he learned that his wife
and children We're alive and some
where on the Pacific coast. He re.
turned and came to Portland. where
he was informed that his wife was
working here, having come to the ex-
position to get position. Anderson
Is now carefully scrutinizing the fea>
lures of all the women on the grounds.

precipitated a physical encounter.
If these scenes are not stopped
somebody will go to Jail for con-
tempt" declared the court. Helms

prosecution, and stated under Heney's
questioning that he knew personally
of the Calhoun papers alleged to have
been stolen from the office of special

know that you are perjurer!" he
shouted.
NO, and 1 defy you to prove it,"
shouted Helms, who left his chair,
and started for Rogers.
Spectators jumped up, and expected
to see a fight. At this juncture the
court threatened to send the attorneys
to Jail, and they took their seats.

BRING SUIT TO COMPEL
LOWER WOOL RATES

Portland, June 2.--Suit was brought
before the interstate commerce com
mission yesterday by the state rail-
road commission to have the rates on
wool from stations on the O. r. & N.
and the Oregon Short Line to eastern
points reduced on the ground that the
present rates discriminate against all
other Oregon points and in favor of
Portland. rag'
The complaint alleges that the rates
now charged are unreasonable and
unjust in consideration of the trans
portation services performed and are
discriminatory and unduly prejudicial
TO the dealers and shippers in the
smaller Oregon towns because the
rates charged to Atlantic coast points
and other eastern points are higher
than those charged from Portland.
A table of rates is included in the
complaint showing how the rates on
wool for eastern shipment increases as
the distance increases from Portland.
For example the rate from Troutdale
Is $1.02 1-2 per 100 pounds to Chi
cago, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, while from The Dalles IL
Is $1.lS, from Heppner $162 and from
Elgin s1.95.
The commission has retained c. L.
McNary Of Salem as its attorney in
this case attacking the wool rates.
