COURT SAYS S.P. GETS
BIG RATE; MUST DROP
Judae's Decision Holds That Freight
Tax Now Levied Would Soon
Ruin Oregon's Lumber
Busines

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S.-Holding
that the Southern Pacific Railroad
company's rate for transportation OF
green fir lumber from Oregon to San
Francisco was excessive and that its
maintenance would ruin the lumber
business of central and southern Ore
ron. the United States circuit court
today rendered a decision adverse to
the corporation in it's suit to restrain
the Interstate commerce commission
from enforcing the reduced rate fixed
in 1907.
A rate Of 1910 ton from Willamette
valley points, based on water compe-
tition, was fixed by the company In
1898. A raise in rates, ordered in 1904,
was again reduced, but three years
later the company asked S5 ton as
before The lumbermen took the case
into the courts, and the interstate com
merce commission made another re-
duction, bringing the rate back to $S.40
The Southern Pacific began its in
junction proceedings. In the decision
rendered today by Judges Ross, Gill
bert and Morrow, it was held the COM
mission did not make cenfiscatory

WOMAN TEMPTED, INSULTED AND
ARRESTED; SHE ACCUSES POLICE
SPY AND CAPTAINS PURITY SQUAD
Mrs. Elgin Daley Makes Sensational Charges
Against Browning and BOwe and One
of Their ASsiStantS--Her Husband
Denounces the Officers

Ot TARTLING revelations of the
~ methods used by police spies IN
~ melting crime and causing ar
rests believed to be illegal was brought
to light yesterday afternoon when Mrs.
Elgin Daley made complaint to Deputy
District Attorney Paul ]. Mccormick
of having been subjected to ipdignities
and forcibly placed in the patrol wagon
by Patrolmen Browning and Bowe OF
Captain Dixon's purity squad.
Although the arrest was made lasl
week, the fact that the woman was In
custody was kept secret until yesterday,
when the accused, who was released on
bail furnished by her husband, ap-
peared at the office of Mr.. McCormick
and asked that a thorough investigation
be made.
Mrs. Daley alleges that a man whom
she later learned was notorious police
spy, w. C. Proctor, employed by Cap
tain Dixon. entered her premises at 4Ol
Central avenue, where she and her
husband conduct a cigar stand, and
attempted to persuade her to shake dice
for money. She refused to enter into
such a game, she says, and despite the
persistent efforts of the police spy, who
declared that he had only small
amount of money ana wished 10 WIN q
larger amount or lose all he had, she
refused. and told him that dice shak-
ing was for merchandise only.
Proctor, said Mrs. Daley, loitered
about the store in which were Elgin
Daley, the husband, and two friends
who were engaged in conversation.
Suddenly he staggered about the place
claiming to be i'll, the woman says.
II am about to faint. May l go into
the rear room and lie down?'' he said,
according to Mrs. Daley.
Mrs. Daley, so she told the prose-
cutor became alarmed, and fearing the
man was in serious condition, allowed
him to go to the rear room, where she
and her husband sleep. When Proctor
lay down she says she afterwards dis
covered his illness was feigned, and
the blood on his mouth due to small
sack of analine dye.
She however, at the time believing

him i'll, procured pitcher of water and
poured the contents on his head.
5owe and Browning Appear
While she was ministering to the
wants of the men he told her, so she
says, that he feared his condition was
serious, and asked her to hurry and
summon a physician. She rushed out
of the room, the door of which was
wide open, and was about to tell her
husband about the matter and ask his
advice, when Patrolmen Bowe and
Browning. who gained notoriety when
they arrested Margaret Fisher without
a warrant and beat George King when
the latter came to her assistance,
rushed up to her and told her she was
under arrest.
She was so surprised, she says, when
the men appeared that she drew back
and demanded an explanation. They
refused to inform her of the nature OF
her offense, so she says, and told her
that they knew that she was guilty of
being an immoral person by her being
in room with Proctor, and roughly
commanded her to come with them.
Mrs. Daley hesitated. and despite the
protest of her husband, who was stand
ing where he could command view
of the room where Proctor was lying,
was dragged out of the place and taken
to the street corner and held in the
view of number of persons until the
arrival of the patrol wagon. When she
protested against being placed in the
patrol wagon she says, she was seized
in a rough manner and hustled inside
the vehicle.
Her husband followed her to the po-
lice station and furnished bail for her
appearance in court.
When arraigned in Police Judge Will
liams' court Mrs. Daley promptly
pleaded not guilty to a charge of va
grancy, and her trial was set for
March s.
Daley is indignant over what he
terms the high-handed methods of
Bowe and Browning in arresting his
wife, and says he viii prefer charges
against the officers of Captain Dixon's
purity squad and attempt to have them
dismissed by the police commission.

REAL ESTATE
ON UPGRADE.
Dealers Report That Business
Is Again Close to
Normal.
DEMAND FOR FARMING
LANDS ON INCREASE
Past Week the Best in Severa:
Months for the Really
Men.

Real estate business during the past
week showed marked Improvement
over former weeks, according to most
of the real estate dealers of the city.
There seemed TO be no particular occ3-
sicu for the better condition, except
that the money market was easier and
the general feeling better after the
election.
The feature sof the real estate busl.
ness during the week was in the sale
of farm lands and residence property.
Practically every dealer in the city
had a few residences or residence lots
to report and many farm deals were
reported. The farming properties
ranged all the way from expensive
ground in Davis county to relindulsh
ments on enlarged homestead land in
the southern part Of the state,
Dealers feel much encouraged over
The situation and expect business to
continue good until the first of the
year. They firmly expect storm after
the calm which has been very evident
during the last few months. Real
estate addition owners are making
plans for improvements to he ready for
the spring opening of the real estate
market Contracts for trees arc being
let and bids on extensive sidewalk ex
tensions are being considered
Building Outlook Good.
Building contractors report business
to be much improved There are n
number of small buildings now in the
hands of architects. and contractors
have been asked for bids. This is con
sidered good sign of bettermeut Of
conditions. and the contractors are
greatly encouraged,
For long time past there has been
"a let-up in the purchasing of lots IN
the various east and southeast benches,
but the, past week has brought forth
more sales of lots than any week proba
bly, in the last five months In High
land park. Idlewild. SunnysIde. Long
view. University Heights and other ad-
ditioDs. the dealers report many sales
and moro inquiries of substantial ma
tuTe.
Farm Land Sales.
Of the farm lands. several important
transactions have been closed which
show that there is good deal of at
tention being paid to the farm by city
people. OF particular note in this con
nection is tbe number of workingmen
who are going to farming. They have
small savings and are securing lands
on reasonable terms. Satisfactory
terms are the only holdbacks to u mum
ber of other good farm deals which
are in the air.
II is understood that several large iu-
5titutions are planning buildings. in
cludIng factories. warehouses, etc While
nothing has been made public regarding
the intentions, it is rumored that there
are at least three such buildings in
view involving an expenditure Of moro
than 100000
The real estate dealers also report
fr
other cities. This is due partly to the
advertising Of the city which is being
carried on by the Commercial club pub
]icity bureau.
