and Owen Moore arranged It all In advance
as a part OF their conspiracy to go through
the hollow forms required by law.
In view of the accusations made by the
Attorney-G General against Mary Pickford, IL
is interesting TO read her Testimony. First
and last during her examination Miss PICK
ford was asked and answered 16l Ques-
tions.
Her testimony on the question OF
whether she intended TO become an actual
bonafide resident of Nevada Is very eH-
plicit And her sworn answers 70 the queB'
tons as to how she happened to hear ABOUT
her husbands arrival in Nevada are also
perfectly clean cut and unequivooal
Il is interesting to note how Judge Ian
gan gave special attention TO those TWO
points-whether Mary Pickford was gen
uine resident OF the state and how II nap
pened that the defendant, Owen MOORE
happened along no opportunely.

LUMBER RATE
PEOPLE MEET
COMMITTEE CoNvENES IN NEW
ORLEANS TO DISCUSS FUTURE
ACTIVITIES AND EXPORT.

A meeting of representa- of the
Lumber Rate Committee of the South,
to discuss the committees future ac-
tivities and especially the subject of
export freight rates on lumber has
been called for Monday April 18TH in
New Orleans. The call is issued by
the chairman, A. G.. T. Moore, traffic
manager of the Southern Pine Asso-
citation Increased charges aggregat-
ing almost s1,000.O0O per normal year
are involved in the lumber export rate
case.
The Lumber Rate Committee of the
South embraces representatives of
virtually all organized commercial, in
dustrial and exporting interests of the
south and southwest, and with the re-
turn of the railroads to corporate con-
troll, conditions are brought about
which officers of the committee deem
call for resumption of activities by
this body.
Effective December 81, 1919, the
Railroad Administration Cancelled the
export lumber rates from producing
points east of the Mississippi river
but permitted the export rate west of
the Mississippi to remain in effect ap-
pointing a committee to consider and
recommend advances in the latter tar
his Under this situation, producing
points west of the river enjoy a lower
rate on lumber for export than for
domestic use. while points east of the
river are denied this benefit.
The lumber industry, and CONNER
cial and industrial organizations in
the south and southwest are united in
support of the contention that rates
on lumber for export should be main
tanned lower than the domestic basis
and that this principle is fundamen-
tally and economically sound.
