MISSOURI RIVER RATE
CASE BEFORE COURT
Ellis UphoIds Rule of Interstate
Commission

WASHINGTON, April 5.--Arguments
began before the supreme court of the
United States today in the famous Mis-
souri, river rate cases, which involve the
rate making power of the interstate
commerce commission.
In behalf of the commission, Wade
H. Ellis special assistant to the at
torney general defended the order re-
ducing the rate between the Mississ-
ippi river and the Missouri river as
applied to shipments from seaboard
points to Missouri river cities.
Ellis contended the courts could not
set aside rates made by the commits
sion when just and reasonable in them
selves.
John III. Atwood of Kansas City, in
behalf of the Missouri river merchants,
argued that the railroads could remedy
any discrimination against central ter
ritory shippers by reducing the inter
river rate for all shippers, regardless
of the point of origin.
Colin c. H. Fyffe addressed the court
in behalf of the shippers in central
freight association territory, urging
that the orders affecting seaboard ter
ritory worked an unjust discrimination
against them.
Argument was also heard in the con-
troversy between the federal and state
courts in Oklahoma over the jurisdic-
tion of liquor cases in which questions
of interstate commerce have arisen.

InCapacitated

The Key Route steamer Fernwood, in

o'clock, causing panic among the
commuters, seriously damaging the slip
and knocking it's own steering gear out

bad aim for the slip, and it was slack

age was done.
The harbor commissioners have asked
that Captain Parker be disciplined and
ercised by the pilots of ferry steamers
those doing damage will be barred from
bringing boats into state slips
After investigating yesterdays acci-
dent President Stafford sent the follow

superintendent:
Captain w. A. Rasmussen, Su-
perlntendent of Ferries, San Fran
cisco, Oakland and San Jose Rail
way;
Dear. Sir-One of your steamers
crashed into the north side of slip
No. 3 about s o'clock this morning,
doing considerable damage to the
planking. AS we are now repair
ing two other slips, it is impossi-
bic for us to get pile driver in

er there is any excuse for this oc-
currence. l believe 1T is more
carelessness than accident We
are credibly advised that this par
ticular captain sees much humor in
these frequent slight collisions at
the entrance of the ferry slip, and
beg to suggest that he should be
disciplined for this mornings oc-
currence. The harbor commission
hesitates to assert it's unques-
toned right to forbid any particu-
lar individual to enter the slips
on account of his apparent lack of
capacity, but there must be a ces-
sation of these continual collisions
with the sides of the slips, and we
ask your cooperation in bringing
about a change for the better.
Yours truly.

LAST CHAPTER IN
FAMOUS FORGERY
CrOcker WOoIworth Bank Fails
to Recover Stolen Sum
From Nevada National

One of the last chapters in the
famous Becker forgery case was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon when the
district court of appeal allowed the
dismissal of the action instituted by
the Crocker- w oolworth national bank
to recover $4,000 from the Nevada ma
tional bank The case has been in the
courts for years, and, although the
Crocker- -Woolworth was mulcted of
$4,000 only $500 of that amount was
recovered.
December II, 1895, Charles Becker,
James Creegan, A. H. Dean and James
McCloskey succeeded in raising Sl2
draft on the -Woolworth ma
tional bank to S22. 900 and deposited 1t
with the Nevada national bank. Cree
gan already had a small deposit in the
Nevada bank and after the Crocker-
Woolworth had paid it through the
clearing house. drew s21,5OO from the
account.
1t was several days later before the
forgery was discovered and only
through the work of Captain of Detec-
tives Seymour were the perpetrators
of the crime placed in prison. Becker
was sentenced to seven years. Creegan
TO two years and Dean allowed TO go
free. as he had turned states evidence.
The work of Becker in raising the
draft was declared to be one of the
cleverest pieces of forgery ever known.
The draft was drawn by Dean in
Woodland on the Crocker- Woolworth
bank Becker then secured it and
with India ink and other parapher-
MALTA made it read $22 900. Creegan
acted as the middleman and secured
the money.
After the criminal cases were dis
posed of the action that was dismissed
yesterday was begun by the Crocker
bank. 1t was decided in favor of the
Nevada bank and appealed, but did not
reach a decision.

FIND ROUTE TO TOP
OF MOUNT MCKINLEY
Explorers Discover Gap in Ice
Wall at 1000 Feet

SEATTLE. April 5-The steamer
Northwestern, from Valdez, Alaska,
brings news that the Mount Mckinley
expedition, which left Fairbanks in
January, and which is composed of
Thomas Lloyd, Robert Horn, Harry
Karsten and Charles McGonigle, all ex-
perienced mountaineers, made more
rapid progress than had been expected,
and attained 1900 feet without special
difficulty.
From the 10000 foot altitude to that
of $4,000 feet, an almost perpendicular
wall of ice arose that at first seemed
TO forbid further ascent. Undaunted,
the climbers began to explore the ice
wall and succeeded in finding a gap.
In a letter sent to Fairbanks by a
hunter, Lloyd said:
From the surveys we have Just COM
pleted, we believe we have found a
route by which we can make the sum-
nit without having to overcome any
very serious difficulties. 1t will be
steep climbing over one stretch, but
that is the only prospective delay on
which we will have to figure"
When the men set out they did not
expect to make the dash for the sum-
nit until summer, but Lloyd's letter
indicates that they intend to lose no
time.
