Rate Theory Disapproved

The scheme Of rates proposed by
the Great. Northern and the Northern
Pacific for the transportation of traf-
. nc from st. Paul and Chicago 10 Spo-
kane. made. by taking 75 per cent of
the terminal. rates. is founded upon
facts which do not exist and is con

BE approved by the commission
The rates established for the future
are materially ower-approximatel
-, 20 per. cent on both classes and com
Inodities-but they viii not be effective

The defendant lines maintained that
if material reductions were made the
result would be disastrous in view of
the reductions that necessarily would

FoodIess Restaurant"

According to Inspector Benninger he
failed to find any food i nthe ''restau-
rant" w H. Tidwell, deputy special
agent of the treasury, testified that he
learned of the arrest of Stephenson,
the proprietor of the restaurant" at
Ell Paso in company with Paul Hall,
alias j. C. Hamilton, for opium SNUG
CLING He found that packages of
opium had been sent from Hall in Ell
Paso to Flynn and Tirie Hall, who was
arrested about two weeks ago in her
rooms at the Hotel Plaza, O'Farrell
and Mason streets, and who is being
held in the Alameda county Jail
When these packages arrived It'd
well went with the Wells Fargo driver
to deliver them. Flynn was not at
the restaurant and the package was
taken away. The package for Tillie
Hall was next delivered and on her
receiving it she' was arrested
Both packages had on them. Shipped
by ]. C. Hamilton from El Paso, Tex
The package to Flynn contained
three tael tins of unstamped smok-
ing opium. After the seizure of the
packages and the arrest of the Hall
woman a post card was sent from
Wells Fargo's Office to Flynn telling
him there was an undelivered package
at the Office for him. Flynn did not
go after the package, as he had learned
of the arrest of Tillie Hall.
D-l- E.I..L,s4oI
Tfdwell produced two memorandum
books in which Flynn kept his acs
counts They showed the amount of
stock received from FL Paso. The
books also contained the credit list,
in which appear the names of Foxy.
Jean Frazer. Samy and Ida. In this
list sale of 81 was credited to Lii
lie" Tillie Hall, who sometimes goes
under the name of Lille Hall, admit
ted to Tidwell that she had purchased
a dollars worth of opium at '.Steve's'
on the same day the entry was made.
The books showed the receipts to be
about $S3 day.
Flynn denied on the stand that he
had sent to Ell Paso for the opium, or
that he authorized Stephenson or Hall
to send him opium. He admitted
knowing Stephenson, but said that he
did not know Hall or Hamilton.
The package to Flynn was addressed
in care of y J. Mcguire, Boyces sa-
loon'' He said he knew Mcguire and
often went to the saloon.

mencement day at Harvard university

/ The cheers that marked his passage
yard indicated his position as chief
guest of the day, while his presence at
the head of the table at the commence
ment luncheon in Memorial hall was
the token that he was host by virtue
of his Office of president of the Har-
ward alumni association. 1t was
Roosevelt of the class of 1880" today

Addresses the Alumni
In opening the alumni meeting Col
onel Roosevelt said in part:
In the first place L come home
with an increased and hearty
friendship and good will for other
countries. I have visited many diff
ferent nations, and the more 1 see
of decent people of other national
tiles the more realize the truth of
Abraham Lincoln's statement that
there is a deal of human nature in
mankind.
A good man is a good man any
where and a scoundrel ought TO be
made TO pay the penalty of his
scoundrelism, whatever his birth
place or nationality. And yet. with
that feeling. there has come con-
stantly increasing understanding on
nv part that the man who wishes
to be a good citizen of the world
must frst and foremost be good
citizen of his own nation
Education at Home
L have been given honorary de-
grees in certain foreign dniversi-
ties on the continent of Europe and
in Egypt. / am deeply grateful
therefor; 7 appreciate the honor
1t was the keenest pleasure to me
to visit those universities 1 ad-
mire them with all my heart And
now. having said that, you will
not misunderstood me when I say
that came back feeling more truly
than ever that the place for a man
to be educated is his own home.
Let him be sent to school and uni
vereity here in hte United States.

Decision for Spokane

The decision Of the commission in the
city Of Spokane against the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern companies
and other. carriers was prepared by
Commissioner Prouty. 1t was held that
the earnings OF the Northerp Pacific and
atic Great Northern. for the 10 years
preceding 1905 might fairly be termed
excessive. and that reduction in reve-
nues might therefore be made without
violating the constitutional rights of
those companies" The report contin-
uod:
@Having determined that question we
did not make reductions in rates to
spokane for the reason that these rev.
ennes were excessive and for the pur-
pose Of reducing the revenues The
rates 70 Spokane were held to be unrea-

The San Francisco call., 1910-06-30

M sions were. handed. down today
by the interstate commerce
commission country wide in i'm
portance. They affect freight rates
both class and commodity--on all
srsnscontinentsl lines operating be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Extensive reductions were ordered.
The decisions are in what popularly
are known. as the Pacific coast cases.
The cases were heard last autumn by
the commission on its six weeks trip
10 the Pacific coast and internountain
territorT and have been Under ronsld-
era stion ever since. The commission
realized the Importance OF the cases,
not only to the railroads, bnt to the
shipping public, and it prepared its
{ opinions with the greatest care.
Reductions in All Cases
IN every instance reductions. fh the
rates complaIned Of were. made, and. in
some instances they amounted TO near
Is. 50 per cent. The commission found a
remarkable rate situation existing on
the Pacific coast. and even a more re-
markable one in the. iutermountain
territory This is notably frne Of the
rates 10 and from Spokane, Wash. and
Reno New.
The Spokane rate case had been be
fore the commission in one. form or an :
other for several. years. The shippers
of that city complained insistently of
the rates they were charged. on. freight
classes and commodities. from eastern
points of origin. beca use they Were re-
Quired to pay the Pacific. coast terminal
rates. plus. the local rates. back to spo-
NE fron4~tllese .fe44rlIssls.- although
t. freight was discharged at. Spokane
by the railroads on. the western "trip.
Complaint Made by Reno
substantially the same state of affairs
existed at Reno and other points, which
had to pay tile rates. to San: Francisco
and the back haul local -ra.tes from san
Francisco or sacramento to the point
ar ultimate destination. These local
rates in most Instances amounted to
tw.o-fft or more of the entire rate
from eastern points Of origin to Pacific
coast terminals
As noted above the decisions of the
commission in these. cases affect all
class and commodity rates between
eastern points and the far west.
No complaint was made in any Of the
cases of the rates Of the eastern lines
: between. Atlantic. points and Mississippi
