According to a Portland paper.
great efforts have been made to keep

road, Pullman and other detectives
could get some tangible clew to work
on. Further than that Mr. Buckley
had "lost his pocketbook," no infor-
nation is to be had at the local Har-
riman offices. Buckley himself is at
La Grande and will not be at home
until tomorrow.
The facts regarding the bold rob-
berry as these, as near as can be learn
ed: Mr.. Buckley was called out on
the line last Sunday, and he left east

nominee. appeared in Brooklyn.
Mr.. Hearst opened with an attack
on Gaynor and Tammany; reviewing
his efforts in behalf of the people.

Mr.. Gaynor referred smilingly to
his first visit to Tammany hall last
night.
"I have bearded the tiger in his
den" he said. land have faced that
dreaded animal without a quaIm and
I am now convinced nothing on earth
can make me afraid"
---Gaynor referred to Hearst as bell
lowing demagogue who has never yet
read the city charter.
Mr.. GaynOr announced the staunch
support of his associates on the dem
ocratic ticket. some of whom have
been criticised severely, particularly
George F. Roesch, Tammany nominee
for justice of the supreme court.
The bar association of New York
officially denounced Roesch as not fit
for the office, but Gaynor stood by
the ticket.
Former Mayor Seth Low, a republi-

ers at the Carnegie hall meeting His
mention of Hearst brought cheering.

plies.

San Francisco, Oct. 2O.-With the
taking up Of charges made by local
shippers against the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company, the interstate COM
merce commission entered on a new
field of investigation yesterday lay
ing aside for the moment, the prac-
tices of the railroads The COM
plainants against the express COM
pany were the California CONNER
cial association and NJ S. Kohlberg &
company. and the action objected to
in each case was the change in rates
made by the company in 1908 which
the shippers claim made the shipment
of goods in lots weighing more than
100 pounds impossible.
It was claimed that inasmuch as
the higher rate applied only to San
Francisco and not to Portland, it was
discrimination in favor of the latter
city.
According to the case set forth by
the attorneys, the express company
fixed the following rates in 1906:
500 to 1000 pound shipments, S12
per hundred weight; 1000 to 1000
pounds. s11; 2000 to 5000. $40: 5000
to 10000. SO; 10000 to 10000 IS:
and over 10000. 81. It was alleged by
the attorneys that in 1908 the rates
were withdrawn and the former rates
of $3.50 to 500 pounds were resumed.
Attorney I. I. Brown argued in be-
half of the complainants and read
statements which gave the net earn
ings of the express company in the
last Is years over Southern Pacific
lines into San Francisco at $1,000
600. He said that the present con-
tract between the express company
and the Southern Pacific company
has Fl years to run; that under the |
contract the express company pays |
the railroad per cent of its gross |
earnings, S750,000 in cash and 1900 |
shares Of the capital stock of the ex-
press company valued at the time of |
the drawing of the contract at $3.50 |
n share. He said that the railroad |
holds one-fifth of the cap
tai stock of the express company. or
$4,000 shares, and that the stock is
paying 10 per cent per annum in div
dends Counsel argued that these
figures show the profitable nature of
