ST. Paul. ii
FIX OWN
RATES
New Road Decides to Be
Independent in Fight
for Trade-Plans
Big Cut

CHICAGO, June 10.-Some in
teresting possibilities of compe-
tition for the Hill and Hartman
railroads in the struggle for trans
continental traffic are suggested
by a decision reached by the traf-
fic and executive officers of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railway, the newly complet-
ed Pacific coast extension of the
st. Paul road, to maintain an in
dependent attitude In regard to
the making of rates to the west.
Rate Making Factor
Ever since the construction of
the line was started, 1t has been
predicted in railroad circles that
the road would become rate
making factor to be reckoned
with.
This was borne out today when
it was officially stated that the
Puget sound, for the present at
least, will not become a member
of the transcontinental freight bu-
reau, the traffic organization by
which the western roads make and
ludfutdiu lTelSHt rates, DuJ Will
make and publish its own rates so
as to be free to change them as it
sees fit, or as conditions may de-
mand.
To Make Big Gut.
One of the most important, con-
which influenced the
decision of the st. Paul traffic Of
ficers in their determination to
an independent rate po-
sition was that the road proposes
to make some extremely low rates
on Oriental export business. Il
In order to carry out its plans,
the st. Paul is having built in
Japan, six large freight-carrying
vessels, the first of wIhIich is expect
ed to arrive at Puget sound READY
to take back a cargo, about Au-
gust 1. This will be known as the
Tacoma Maru." The second Of
the fleet, the Seattle Maru," will
arrive shortly afterward.

THE TAGOMA TINES
BICYCLE THIEVES
SENT To COUNTY
JAIL

Ray Pentecost, Bruce McClat-
chey, Gaylord Kelly, Earl Nc
Clatchey and Axel Carlson, the
quintette of East End bicycle
thieves, who were arrested this
week by Detectives Fackler and
Brady, and who confessed to the
robbery of dozen of bicycles, were
transferred to the county jail late
this afternoon and will face Judge
yesterday of the Juvenile court.
The police say that the gang
was bad" one and that more Sc
rious crimes would probably have
been committed had it not been
broken up. Owing to Judge East
erday's decided clemency in cases
of this kind, the officers were re-
luctant to part with their prison.
ers The lads themselves stated
to the police that they
were sure of going free as soon as
they were taken before the supe-
rior court Judge.
