The assault occurred last Decem-

law under which he was convicted.

appeal to the supreme court.
The assault consisted in O'Rrouke

TO GET THE
PHYSICAL
VALUATION
CALIFORNIA c WILL MAKE WELLS
FARGO SHOW UP HOW MUCH
ACTUAL PROPERTY 1T OWNS
AND HOW MUCH WATER 1T
PAYS DIVIDENDS ON.

San Francisco, April 10.-With
California's new rate law, empower
ing the state railway commission to
ascertain the physical valuation of
the property of carriers, it was re-
ported today that the commission
ers probably would investigate the
Wells Fargo Express Company. Two
years ago the company was capital
ized at sS,OOO,OOO, It's capital today
is $25,OOO,OOO.
When the Hartman interests ac-
quired control of the company in
1909 it declared a special dividend Of
800 per cent, and since that time it
has been declaring yearly dividends
of 10 per cent. Shippers here claim
that the Wells Fargo Company is en-
able to declare such large dividends
because Of it's exorbitant rates, and
have asked an investigation.

TO EXTEND
SERVICE
TO SOUTH
STREET CARS on SOUTH COM
MERCIAL WILL BEGIN WEDNES-
DAY MORNING RUNNING TO
SALEM HEIGHTS-A 15.MINUTE
SERVICE.

Wednesday, April 70, the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company
will begin runnings cars out to Sa-
lem Heights, one and one-half miles
south of the city limits. All work
has been completed on the new extern
sion and it is expected that the cars
will be running over the new line
Wednesday morning. One addition
al car will be put on, making a total
of four cars on the Commercial
street run. New signs reading "Sa-
lem Heights" will be another new fea
ture, and the 15-minute schedule will
be continued
The new extension brings the cars
past the Salem Heights school, and
nearly out to the gravel pit. The fare
to the city limits will remain at 5
cents, but an additional 5 cents will
be added south of the city limits,
making 1O-cent ride for those rid
ing south of the city limits.
Each stop south of the city limits
will be known as a station, each sta
tion will have name, and stops will
be made only at these stations.
The new extension will, add greatly
to the convenience of those living
south of the city limits, as they can
now ride to and from their homes
The run south from the city is about
three miles in length now, including
the new extension, and many who
have heretofore had to walk many
blocks in rain and snow in order to
reach a car, will now have to walk
only to the nearest station.

Philippines Clear of Plague,

The health of the Philippines, according
to the Public Health and Marine Hos

beginning of 1911 than at any time dur
ing the last ten years.
But, the same service in it's weekly re-
port states that for this reason it il
advisable that the greatest vigilance be
exercised to prevent the introduction Of
quarantinable diseases, such as plague
and cholera
The islands, the report says. are threat
end by invasion of these diseases from
Japan. Shanghai and Indo-China, and
Siam.
There have been no cases of plague IN
the Philippines, the report says, for three
years, smallpox is less prevalent; cholera
is known to exist only in sporadic form
in Mindoro, there is less malaria and
'beriberi and a smaller number of in
tertinal diseases than ever before expert
enced.
If this favorable condition continues,
the report says, there would be an APP
portunity to commence work upon a
foundation upon which sanitary super
structure might be erected, which would
make outbreaks of diseases like these
enumerated much less likely to occur in
the future"

PLAN TO HOLD UP
FOWLER'S SALARY
New Jersey Member Neglects
to Pay for Printing

Action was taken by the House Of
Representatives yesterday that, if the
Senate concurs, amounts to the same
thing as an attachment on the salary of
Representative Charles n. Fowler, of
New Jersey. Since last summer Mr..
Fowler is said to owe the Government
Printing Office s4S7.5C for extra copies OF
a long and violent speech in denunciatiou
of Speaker Cannon. The Public Printer,
through one of his subordinates, has
made repeated efforts to collect this sum,
but letters to Mr.. Fowler have not been
answered. So yesterday an amendment
was added to the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill providing that deductions may
be made from the salary of any Senator
or Representative for money due the
Government Printing Office for work done
1t is said to be the intention Of the
House authorities to hold up Mr.. Fow-
ler's March salary check until the sundry
civil bill passes, and then deduct the
amount he owes the Public Printer, send
ing the balance to him.
Mr.. Fowler was once upon a time
chairman of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, but was removed
by Speaker Cannon when he defied a reg
ular caucus of the Republican party and
refused to bring in a financial bill along
lines agreed upon.
Before that removal he had been a
regular Republican. Afterward he be-
came Speaker Cannon's most bitter
enemy, and Joined the ranks Of the in
surgents in order that he might assist in
the attacks on Uncle joe" whom he
confessed he hated Last fall Mr.. Fow-
Ter was a primary candidate for nom
ination for Senator as well as member
of the House. He did not have a chance
for either job.
