LINE UP FOR Bl FIGHT FOR BETTER FREIGHT RATES ATTORNEYS SPEND MORNING OUTLINING CASE BEFORE THE COMMISSION, The attorneys for Seattle and the Chamber of Commerce have their guns trained on the railrow and have a mast of ammunition piled back of them for use. ‘Thin morning’s session at the In- terstate Commerce commission heartng wan spent by counsel for the plaintiffs in introducing a mass of comparative data showing that Seattic and the other cities on the coast are discriminated against in favor of cities similarly situated east of the mountains. The comparisons were based on the Rock Island out of Kansas City to the southwest; the Frisco out of Kansas (City to the southwest; the Union Pacific out of Kansas City and Omaha to the west; the Bur- lington out of Omaha and Kaneas City to the northwest; the Chicago & Northwestern out of Omaha to |the northwest, and the Northern | Pacific and Great Northern out of St. Paul and Minneapolis to the went. The defense expects to show by this data that Seattle and the northwest coast cities are diserim- inteted against.

HAZARD, Staff Correspondent of the United Press With President Taft. VAWONA, Yosemite Valley, Cal., Oct. 8-—“Well, this beats speech- making. I wish I could have a month of this.” As he spoke, Preal- dent Taft reached for another leg of chicken, and deftly removed the meat with the means provided by nature, Luncheon was being served in the open with Grouse creek a few feet away. The coffee pot wan boiling on an improvised cookstove and the tired horses that had brought the party by stage from El Portal were munching their oats near a or trough a few hundred feet down the road Gov. Gillett, Congressmen Need. ham, Englebright and McKinlay, with old John Muir, the famous nat- uralist, were seated at a board table with the president. Ate Hearty Meal. The way all pitched into the chicken, potato salad, bread and butter, ple and cake was a cau on. After luncheon the president acted as umpire while the more ac- tive members of the party played a baseball game, using pine sap- ling for a bat and cones for balls, those not playing themselves hunt- ing new cones, and Umpire Taft as well as the spectators, were kept busy dodging fying pieces of pine cones, President Taft and the Callfor- nians had a heart to heart inter- change of political views at luncheon. Sees the Big Trees. President Taft was up before 6 o'clock today and left the hotel three-quarters of an hour later bound for the Mariposa grove of big trees. His day's itinerary brought him back to Wawona for luncheon and this afternoon he is bound to Gla- cler point, where he will have din- ner tonight. The president will stay over night at the Sentinel hotel and on Saturday will start back to clvili- zation via El Portal and Merced. While in the homelike little ho- tels of the Yosemite, President Taft cats bis meals the public dining rooms and in the evening spends two or three hours chatting with bis friends in the comfort able warmth of big log fires. At both El Portal and Wawona he made the hearts of proprietors glad by signing his name upon the hotel registers. Since reaching t Yosemite, the cold President Taft contracted in Seattle has disap- peared entirely, and thanks to a rest, he will be in fine voice when he starts southward Saturday. ELLERY A DEFENDANT Channing Ellery, proprietor of El- lory’s band, now playing an engage- ment at the A.-¥.-P. E, was made defendant in a suit, this morning, for $850, because of an alleged breach of contract The Saginaw Industrail exposition is the plaintiff. The complaint states that a con- tract was made for the band to play at the Saginaw exposition on Octo- ber 1 to 9, for the sum of $2,000. The $850 is the money It cost the Saginaw people to secure another band and to change the advertising matter, DENOUNCE AUCTION Those Who Bought at Ex- press Sale Call to Get Their Packages Today and They Are Angry. Biot a single person who bought an “unclaimed package” at the Northern Express Co.'s auction, 1301 first av, got anything for the money invested. A crowd of nearly 100 persons gathered about the auction room this morning to draw their prizes and later to denounce the auction as a complete and well executed plece of bunco. A reporter for The Star stood for an hour at the door this morning and did not see one person get a package that was worth a dollar. Old clothing, boxes of bills, adver- tising Hterature and worthless rub- bish generally was what the people who bid in the unclaimed packages drew. Taxes One's Credibility. A large percentage of the pack- ages were of such a character that it is taxing credibility to the limit to believe that any person sent them by expre: There was more than a suspicion in the minds of many of the purchasers that their pack- ages were made up especially to sell at the auction. One man who bought a badly battered suit case and found an old worn out coat in It could not see why anybody should have expressed it. The coat and grip were absolutely worthless and certainly not worth the express charges. A negro soldier from Fort Law- ton bought a small package which was covered with important look- ing wax seals and was marked “Jewelry.” It contained a box of pitia. Another bidder drew a large dry- goods box. It cost him $11.50. It contained some soiled cheap quilts and blankets. The box was the most valuable article. This Is Beyond Him. One man’s $8 purchase turned out to be a bottle of vaseline. Why any person should express a bottle of vaseline that can be bought for 15 cents was beyond the “Iucky” pur- chaser, Another man's bid of $7.50 netted him some tabels for a Jer- sey Cream pop. An old woman paid $23.50 for a package coatsining & Prince Albert coat, woth at least W cents. A marvelous aawnnt of old cloth- ing was unearthed, none of it under any circumstances worth express- ing. if the express company had em- ployed !ts entire force collecting worthless junk and then auctioning it off the result would not have been any more disappointing to the purchasers. No buyer of gold bricks ever got leas for his money than did the patrons of the annua! auction of the Northern Express Co. ee ee ee BANK CLEARINGS. Seattle.

The Supply Laundry is again working ites women employes labor overtime, in dir tion of the 10-hour law. Due to the indifference of State Labor Commissioner Hubbard and his deputy, Miss Blanche Mason, and a subsidal of public sentiment, the laundry has gofe back to its old law-breaking ways, which were exposed a month ago. The Star has evidence that the girls at the Supply Laundry were worked overtime last night and the night before, Also that last Saturday two girls were ordered to work Sunday, be- cause the company was behind in its work. The women refused, and were told they need not come back. Monday morning they did not re- port, but the laundry was short of help and the manager telephoned them to come back anyway. Go to Work Early. The employes go to work at 7 in the morning, with a half hour for lunch, and are supposed to quit at 5 in the evening. Last night they were worked until 6:30, and the night before it was 7 o'clock when they were allowed to go. The case of the Supply Laundry company was originally brought to the attention of the labor commis- sioner when a number of girls were discharged for refusing to work Labor day, after they had been Promised a holiday on that date and souvenir tickets to the A-Y.-P. ex- position. Had the Evidence. Ten different girls offered to give evidence that they were required frequently to work overtime, and the labor commissioner ordered cond Mason to make an investiga- tion. She talked to the manager of the laundry and announced there seem- ed to be nothing in the charges and ho probe would be made. When her statement was printed in The Star, she decided there might be some- thing to ine case, after all, and withdrew her decision to pass the charges up. Since that time the case bas fall- en into innocuous deseutude, and if anything has been done or will be done, no word of it has come from the labor commissioner's office. And naturally the laundry has re- turned to its old ways and the girls are again laboring from sun to sun. They are paid overtime for the work, but 10 hours a day in a hot, steaming laundry is enough for any woman. BURNED TO DEATH ON WATER IS FATE OF A BALLARD MAN (By United Press.) EVERETT, Wn., Oct. 8.—Eldon Graham, of 6-st st. and 31st st. N. W., of Ballard, was burned to death last night In a gasoline ex- plosion on a launch near Mukil- teo. Graham and two companions, J. Everett and Francis Alkys, were transferring a quantity of gasoline from one launch to another. The fumes from the gasoline, ignited by a lighted lantern held by one of the men, caused the explosion that blew Graham backwards into the boat. He perished in the flames. Everett and Alkys were badly burned but escaped death by jumping overboard and swim- ming to another boat. Both are in the General hospital here. Gra- ham's body was brought here and is at the undertakers. All three men were fishermen from Ballard.
