NORTHWEST WINS
RATE REDUCTION
Commission Orders Cut Of 20
Per Cent Eastward.
Ala Serious Loss Threatened-Plea
of Roads Unheeded and Own
Figures Taken.

Washington, D. C. = Portland, Sc
.+tle and Tacoma jobbers won an i'm
n no victory before the Interstate
Eommerce commission Saturday when
that body ordered a 20 per cent reduc-
.;nn Of all interstate class rates from
those cities to points in Washington,
nrooon Idaho and Montana, and d.
racted that the new rates be put into
effect January 2, 1912.
The fight for this reduction was
made bv the chambers of commerce of
portland and Seattle. This order in
dorses the tentative decision of the
commission, announced some months
soo the railroads having utterly failed
in their endeavor to show that 20 per
cont reduction would be ruinous or
even unfair to them.
When the commission first an
rounced it's belief that 20 per cent
cnt should be made the railroads OBJ
famed six months in which to submit
figures showing what losses they would
sustain if such regulation should be
made. The commission, after study
ing these figures, lost no time in pro-
Mitigating its order, for it discovered
from the statistics compiled by the
railroads themselves that a 20 per
cent cut in class rates would deprive
the railroads in question of less than
/ per cent of their operating revenue.
In view of the financial condition of
the four roads affected, the commits
sion holds that they will not be ad-
versely affected by this reduction

Chicago - United States Senator
Works, of California, addressing the
National League for Medical Free
dom here, assailed the allopathic
school of medicine, which he charged
was seeking to form trust to the ex-
cusion of all other methods of heal
ing and particularly denounced the
medical examination of public school
pupils. His remarks were directed
chiefly to the part of the school in
spection involving girls in the upper
grades. He said:
81 sincerely hope you never have
medical inspection here. Do you
know that in many states, under medi-
cal inspection practice, girls of from
IA to 20 are required to bare their
bodies to the waist and submit to an
inspection, usually by an unsuccessful
or underdoctor just out of school, and
all this without the knowledge or
presence of their mothers?"

Government to Look After Affairs r.
Santo Domingo.

| f E ( 8 i 7
Washington, D. C.-The cabine,
mas decided that the situation in Santo
Domingo is such, as the result Of the
assassination Of President Caceres. AZ
to make it expedient for the United
States to have naval forces there sufii.
clent to meet any demands for the
protection Of American lives and prop
erty and to insure the maintenance OF
order.
No American warship was within
hundreds OF miles Of Santo Domingo.
but as soon as the decision Of the cab
met was communicated to Admiral
Wainwright, chief Of operations, he
sent orders by wireless to the COM
mander in chief of the Atlantic fleet,
directing him to dispatch the two big
armored cruisers Washington and
North Carolina to Hampton Roads.
No one at the Navy department
knew the exact location of the Allan
tic fleet, which was conducting a
search problem somewhere off the
Maryland and Virginia coasts. But
precisely II minutes from the moment
he had sent the order, Admiral VAIN
wright had before him an answer
from the fleet commander saying that
the two big ships were on their way
to the roads, where they arrived with
in few hours.
Mr.. Russell, the American minister
to Santo Domingo, left Washington
for the roads and will sail on the
Washington, which will be accom-
panied by the cruiser North Carolina.
He should arrive in Santo Domingo
within four days.
There is nothing on the surface in
dicating danger of serious trouble in
Santo Domingo, but the decision to
send this powerful naval force to the
island was inspired by desire to re-
lieve any other nation from apprehen-
sion as to the safety of it's citizens or
their property.
Incidentally, the Dominicans will be
given to understand. that the Washing
ton government feels that the obliga-
ton that it has assumed under treaty
to administer the finances of the re.
public warrants it in requiring strict
observance of the terms of the Domin-
lean constitution in the election of a
president.

ARMY DEsERTIONs FEWER.
Falling OFF Attributed to Severe Pun
ishment Prescribed.

Washington, D. C.-The extraor-
binary decrease in assertions from the
army in the past two years was at
trbuted by General Ainsworth, adju-
tant general, in his annual report just
made public, to the vigorous measures
that have taught the enlisted men how
relentlessly desertion is punished.
There were 2,489 assertions in the
last fiscal year, or 2.06 per cent of en-
listed strength of the army. This is
the lowest rate for 80 years, save in
the Spanish war in 1898.
General Ainsworth voiced the hope
mat relaxation of severe measures of
punishment Twill not be brought
ABOUT through the clamor of sensation
mongers or the urging of theorists
seeking to exploit themselves or their
views in the face of adverse exper-
renee and regardless of the interests
of the service"
Inc army cannot be made reform
aIory without grave injury to its NOR
ais and its efficiency, said General
Ainsworth.

sUFFRAGETTEs BEATEN.
Attempt to Storm Parliament Fails
Many Arrested.

London - The suffragettes Jared
badly at the hands of the police in this
city Wednesday. They had threatened
to force their way into the house of
commons and make protest on the
floor against the prime minister's re-
fusal to pledge the government to a
bill giving equal suffrage to both
sexes, but they failed to reach the en-
trance to parliament.
Thwarted by the police, who arrest
ed 220 women and three men, the
suffragettes resorted to campaign of
window smashing. Driven from par
lament square by the police, 1900 of
whom were on duty, the women, &C
companied by sympathizers and gangs
of rowdies, proceeded through White
hall, armed with bags of stones, con-
cealed under their coats, and broke
windows in public offices, the Liberal
headquarters and the National Liberal
Club. They extended their operations
to the Strand, where windows of the
Postoffice bank and other private con-
Germs suffered from the onslaught.
The militant tactics of the suffra-
gettes followed statement by Prem
Ter Asquith that the government was
unable to introduce bill to enfran-
chise women, as the cabinet was d.
vided on the question, but would allow
an amendment to be introduced to the
proposed manhood suffrage bill, leav-
ing it to the house of commons to de-
eide whether women should be given
vote.
