LONDON, April 25.-King Ed
ward is undergoing one of the
worst little RACES he ever had, &C.
cording to stories that reached
London today from France, where
the king is now on a health seek
ing jaunt. He is angered at Pre-
mier Asquith for dragging him
into the pending political struggle.
The premier, goaded by John
Redmond, the nationalist leader,
has placed the king in situation
where he must either be denounced
by conservatives as wild eyed
anarchist or by liberals as a reac-
tionary tyrant.
The premier's declaration in the
commons that he will demand the
creation of enough liberal peers to
make the lords a liberal body
caused all the trouble. II the king
creates the peers he will wreck
the conservative party and antag-
onize every vested interest in
England and make the possession
of a title a joke. If he refuses he
will admit himself an enemy of
progress, according to the liberals.
If the king refuses AsQuith's de-
mand the premier will resign. 1t
will then be necessary for the king
to ask conservative leader BalfOur

SPOKANE RATE
HEARING DUE
THIS WEEK

A meeting of the Interstate Com
merce commission will be held
Thursday and Friday at Washing
ton to consider the question of the
readjustment of freight rates on
the Pacific coast The Spokane
rate case, the Reno-Sacramento
controversy, the Portland and Sc
attic back-haul cases and the San
Francisco competitive zone will be
considered. In all of these cases
there is the one point involved that
was originally threshed out in the
Spokane rate case when it was
heard last fall, and that is the right
of the railroads to charge higher
rate for a short haul than for a
long haul. This practice prevails
with all of the roads that cross the
mountains, the defense being that
the water competition on the Coast
compels it.
Cities like San Francisco, Port
land and Seattle that enjoy this I'M
fair advantage in rates are fight
ing to retain it, claiming that in
order to be able to compete with
mountain cities a differential in
their favor must exist.

STATE DEPARTMENT
IS MUCH WORRIED
(By United Press Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, April 25.-There
is concern at the state department
over the Chinese riots in Human
province because of the possibility
that the trouble may spread rapidly
at any moment.
1t is realized here that informa.

from mouth to mouth. So, with
flaming anti-foreign posters being
posted in the streets of Chang Sha,
lit is readily understood what the
effect may be on the neighboring
districts.
Effective naval vessels in the vi.
cinity appear to be the United
States cruiser Cleveland, the Jap.

river gunboat Snipe.

WRIGHT BROTHERS MAY
STOP PROGRESS OF FLYING

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 11.-Court-
land Field Bishop, president of the
Aero Club of America who arrived
last night to act as chairman of the
judges during the aviation meet, said
today If the Wright Bros. were upheld
in the courts, and their allegations
against Curtis sustained, thus forcing
all who fly to pay them royalties, that
il will retard the developments of
aeronautics as nothing has done since
the first flight was made. He said that
as far as he could judge from the re-
cent actions of the wright's that they
are not only trying to uphold their
patents, but are endeavoring to Sc
cure the exclusive right to soar.
81 am financially interested with
Curtis in the manufacture of the Cur
tbs aeroplane, and of course l favor
him, but looking at the matter from
an unbiased standpoint I fail to see
where the Wrights can claim that
Curtis is infringing upon their pat
ents. The Wright's strongest point is
their patent for warping planes. and
this Curtis does not use. He uses the
wing tip which is not connected with
the main planes in any way and is
worked from the seat"

RUMORED CHANGE
IN TRAIN SCHEDULE
SPOKANE TRAIN NO s MAY

Also Reported That Portland-Pendle-
ton Local May Leave 40 Minutes
Earlier-Official Confirmation Is
Lacking.

According to unconfirmed rumors
current in this city and Walla Walla,
the leaving time of Spokane train No.
s, is to be changed from 1880 p. m.
to s a. m. The train would thus ar
rive at Wal,a Walla at 10 a. m. in
stead of 2:30 as at present and it
would also arrive in Spokane four
hours and a half earlier
It is also reported that the depart
ing time of No. l. the Pendleton-
Portland local, is to be changed from
$40 to o'clock. In that event the
local train from Walla Walla will
probably arrive at S o'clock instead of
$40 as at present.
The nearest to an official confir-
nation of these rumors is the state
ment published in a Walla Walla pa

Hermiston, Ore, Jan. 10.-Saturday
evening the Hermiston A. C. basket
ball team had an easy time with their
opponents from Echo, winning by the
score of 81 to s.
The home team showed vast i'm
provement in shooting baskets over
the game with Pendleton Stars of the
Saturday before when they were de-
feated by the score of 27 to 25.
Hermiston has had some difficulty
in keeping the original team and the
necessity of constant changes has
broken in upon their team work. 1t
is hoped that the team they now have
will be able to stick the rest of the
season.
In the game last Saturday Donovan
and Richmond played their first
game, and showed up exceptionally
well for new men. Ruffner. Wilson
and Thompson played in their usual
form.
Campbell played the star game for
Echo, making 6 OF their points. Had
the rest of his team keep up with
his standard of playing the score
might have been the other way.
