IDAHO Topped
OFF YEARS AGO
Portland JobberS Tell Their
Tales of Woe to Commerce
Commission.

Portland, Ore, Oct. 13.-Five business
men of this city testified before the in
terstate commerce commission today
that twenty years ago Portland jobbers
were able to sell their goods as far east
as Pocatello, Ida, and that year by
year parts of that distributive terri
tory have been Topped off by unfavOr-
able rates, until today Portland's
wholesale area is but a fraction of its
previous extent.
They testified that a barrier had been
arbitrarily erected at the Oregon boun-
Diary, past which they must not go, and
that in some of the territory remaining
to them they are compelled to absorb
part of the freight charges in order to
meet competition from the east.
Henry Hahn, for several years head
of the transportation committee of the
local chamber of commerce, went at
great length into the history of rate
making in the Pacific northwest. He
said that Portland never had any trou-
BILE with its rates to interior points until
sixteen years ago, JUS sfteT the Union
Pacific railroad went into the hands of
a receiver. Suddenly he said the dis
tributive rates from Portland east were
readjusted. Idaho was walled off, and
other parts Of its territory were redis-
tricted so as to make handicap jObbing
here impossible or difficult. All of
POrtIand's witnesses declared that east
eTn competitors now meet the local
1obbers on an even footing as far west
as Boise, Ida; Baker City, Ore, and
Spokane, Wash.

Mr.. Elder declared that he had learned
of the alleged conference Of Gaynor and
Patrick II McCarren Of Brooklyn, at
which the cOnstitutonality Of the race
track law was discussed, and, it Is
charged, a test case contemplated upon
which Justice GaynOr was TO render a
decision. The Elder statement says;
The new law against public gambling
on the race track went into effect June
II, 1905 At thar time the racing was
going at Sheepshead Bay. A few days
later a.pUbiic official of prominence, who's
has been aiding me in my efforts to
enforce the Law told me he had but u
few moments before, engaged in CONVEX
satiOn with Eugene Wood, and that Wood
had stated to him that he wood and
Senator Patrick McCarreu had been
present at a conference with Judge Cay
nor in which the cOnstitutiOnality and the
, validity Of the new gambling law was
discussed and I'm which conference they
discussed how the law could be nulHned;
and a habedS corpus was being arranged
to be brought before Judge Gaynor to
get a decision that would allow the gam
bleTs to do business on the race tracks.
Probably an hour after this, another
public official Of high prominence, whom
l met upon the race course, stated to
me substantially the same thing. / be-
lieVed then this conversation did take
place, because of the direct ond official
way in which the information came to
me. l believe yet that it took place."
Mr. Elder adds that the golf ball case
was not brought IN Kings county, but
in Nassau county and before Judge Gay
nor.
In this case" says the statement, cit
was alleged that Sterling made a bet
with another man upon the result Of
game of golf and that he recorded and
registered the bet on card. In deciding
the case, Judge GaynOr made a definition
Of a common gambler. Under this defi-
milton, Colonel Engemen, a personal
acquaintance Of Judge GaynOr, who had
been previously indicted as a common
gambler, as chief owner of the Brighton
Beach track, was not a common game
bier.
"The learned court also decided that
it was not an offense to make a bet on
a race course and that IL was no Offenss
to register and record the same"

ing the Elder statement, but he did not
intimate whether he would make a reply

HIGH GRADERS ROUNDED UP
Arrest of Six Employees of the Con-
solidated Mines Company at
GoldfieId.

Goldfield, New, oct. 1S.-By the arrest
of six employees of the Consolidated Mines
company mill the management is believed
to have succeeded in breaking up the al
legged gang of high-graders that is said
to have infested the plant for three
months. One of the six has already con-
fessed and implicated the others, it is
asserted
All of the men were employed as con-
centrating men and through the efforts of
one, it is said, had devised a new system
of high-grading by diverting values in
passage over the concentrating tables.
The alleged leaders in the conspiracy
are; L. H. Dresser, formerly of Mon
tana, who claims to have been in the
United States secret service before COM
ing to GoidfieId: Elliot Lamb, formerly of
Ely, New, and D. Couture, a repair man.,
who is alleged to have invented the sys-
TEN of high-grading.
1t was only by finding some of the men
selling concentrates that the thefts were
traced
Reports from the minis and smeiters
show that s21,0o0 of stolen bullion has
been marketed from Goldfield during the
last three months.

TAFT TRAVELS
OVER ARIZONA
President Wins Great Applause
by Advocating Separate
Statehood.

Prescott, Ariz., Oct. 13.-President
Taft won a hearty welcome into Arizona
today by proclaiming wherever he went
that he was heartily in favor of state
hood for each of the territories of Ari-
iona and New Mexico
When the joyousness that greeted this
statement had died away, Mr.. Taft had
some sober words for his audience in
which he sought to impress upon them
the necessity for deliberation in framing
a state constitution.
He declared that their constitution
should follow the simplicity of the con-
stitution Of the United States, and
should be merely fundamental laws
with simple rules Of limitations. Mr.
Taft urged the people of Arizona to
profit by what he termed the mistakes
Of Oklahoma. He characterized the
Oklahoma constitution as geological
garden Of crankS."
The presidents train was whirled
along at breakneck speed today through
scorching desert wastes of sagebrush
and cactus.
At times the alkali stirred up by the
rushing cars filtered in a cloud through
ventilating screens and closed windows
and was well nigh sitting. The sky was
cloudless and the sun shone with torrid
intensity.
Throughout the day the horizon was
lined with the rusty color of sunbaked
mountains trimmed with azure haze.
Occasionally the train rushed through
a little garden spot of fruits and flow
erS, where the touch of water had
worked its wonders. Altogether the
President had a typical glimpse of the
far southwest.
President Taft left here at p. m. for
the Grand canyon.

when the accusations were made known
to his wife. she admitted their truth

lenses on condition that defendant should
break off her acquaintance with Canaan
