TO HEARINGS
JILL CONTINUE
IN TOE SOUTH
(Juneau Empire.)
The rate hearing which has been
held in Juneau two days last week is
ended and H. C. Wilson, the examiner
for the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, and James Wickersham, expect
to leave for the south tonight on the
Prince Rupert for Seattle, where the
hearings will be resumed. The bal
anace of the party will go south on the
City of Seattle and will arrive in Se
attle in time to continue the hearing.
Saturday afternoon besides the tes
timony of Charles and Alvin Gold
stein, who introduced way bills on
freight which was handled by both
rail and steamer, they illustrated how
one shipment from Portland, a rate of
$6.50 had been charged by the steam
ers.
S. R. James, assistant freight agent
of the Pacific Steamship company,
was put on the stand and told of the
recent increase, the first being $2.50
per ton, effective on May 20, 1916, and
another raise of $1 effective on Aug
ust 25, 1916.
Charles Garfield, of the local cus
( toms house force, was placed on the
stand and testified to the vast
amount of the freight shipments to
Alaska. He testified that during
1915, shipments valued at $10,329,411
had been made in Alaska, of which
$2,122,471 represented the valua
if.i of the shipments to the canneries
of southeaastern Alaska, and which
amount is alleged to have been deliv
ered under the discriminatory rate.
P. R. Bradley, of the Treadwell
companies, was placed on the stand
in the evening and testified that a
* contract existed between his com
pany and the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company relative to freight ship
ment's from all parts of the United
States. He stated that he also wished
to refute the impression which had
been given that the store of the Tread
well company was in a position to hurt
the merchants of the channel, as that
was not the case. *
H. L. Faulkner entered a verbal pro
. test on behalf of the Skagway Cham
~ ber of Commerce, but was unable to
produce witnesses on account of the
short time in which the hearing was
held.
The attorneys for the steamship
companies were requested by Mr.
Wickersham to produce certain con
tracts and papers on file in the of-'
fices of their companies in Seattle be
fore the hearing to be held at that
place.
Many of the party, left Juneau yes
terday on the City of Seattle for the
north and this morning were taken to
the summit of the White Pass & Yu
kon railroad. They will return on the
City of Seattle and continue south on
that steamer. Those in the party mak
ing the trip north were:
W. H. Bogle of Seattle, attorney for
the Alaska S. S. Co.; S. R. James, as
sistant to the general freight agent
for the Pacific S. S. Co.; Judge Ben S.
Grosscup of Tacoma, attorney for the
Pacific S. S. Co.; and A. P. Zipf, traf
fic manager of the White Pass & Yu
kon Co., Mrs. S. R. James and Mrs. B.
S. Grosscup.
JOSEPH WILSON IS

mine. Rock fell on him.
TAIL LIGHTS ON MULES.
(Popular Mechanics.)
Ludicrous as it may seem, necessity
has demanded that a Los Angeles
driver equip his mules with tail lights.
Without being facetious, it may not be
amiss to point out that the devices he
emplbys are literally the first real tail
lights ever used. Some time ago when
a number of the man’s mules were
being driven along a highway at night,
a motor car plunged into the drove
without disastrous results. This caus
ed( the dealer to resort to the warn
ing lights so' as to avoid similar acci
dents in the future. The devices,
which are identical with those used on
many bicycles, are strapped to the
mules’ tails.
There will be a special meeting of
the Carpenters and Joiners Union at
the Moose hall, Tuesday evening, at
7:30 o’clock. All members are expect
ed to be present.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 20.—Through
out the country the opening of the
Russian parliament was eagerly await
ed, as a number of questions have
arisen which urgently require discus
sion and it was hoped the duma would
be able to throw light on the present
complicated political situation. In
both houses strong, interesting speech
j es were made, and there were dra
matic incidents which conditions of
the telegraph prevent description in
! full.
One thing is clear: The Germans
I will find no ground for satisfaction
: with the speeches. Both houses were
j emphatic in declaring the necessity of
fighting the war to a victorious finish.
The very severe criticism levelled
against the government was to remove
the causes which prevent the nation
devoting all its energies so the suc
cessful conipietion of the war. One of
the principal spaekers on tho right
I characterized those men who u.lvo
Cheer Buchanan.
The duma gave ample favorable re
ply to the malicious rumors recently
circulated by pro-Germans against
England. When Rodsianko, in his
speech, expressed gratitude and loyal
to the allies, one deputy cried:
“Long live England,” and a tremen
dous ovation was given to Ambassa
dor Sir George Buchanan. The whole
house rose and cheered.
In a declaration of the progressive
bloc, composed of a majority of the
fluma, a special passage, was devoted
to the services of England to the com
mon cause.
The main theme of the speeches
was the necessity of a change of sys
tem which would bring the govern
ment in closer touch with public opin
ion. The most moderate criticism of
the government was that made by Na
tionalist Leader Balashev, who em
phasized the lack of plan and unity on
the part of the government.
“The constant change of personnel,”
he said, “the publication of illconsid
ered and inconsistent measures, insuf
ficient use of local government organs,
and a wholly impossible conflict of
authority have created a situation
very dangerous for further work be
hind the fighting line and extremely
favorable to a display of predatory
| instincts.”
In a very weighty declaration the
I action of the government during the j
I last year created serious impediments
j to a successful conclusion of the strug
gle.
The leader of the constitutional dem
ocrats, M. Iliukoff, made a remarkable
and very powerful speech, which was
listened to with the closest attention
by the whole duma.
Of particular interest were those
passages in which he criticised the
tendencies of Russian diplomacy (lur
ing the last three months. His speech
is not published in the report of the
duma sitting. Things were said yes
terday that can not be forgotten or
lightly passed over, and the further
development of the relations between
the government and the duma is a
matter of highest interest not only to
Russia but to all the allies.
AL BIRNBAUM TAKES BRIDE.
(Fairbanks Citizen.)
A wire to E. W. Griffin received yes- j
terday announceed the marriage in Se- i
attle on Saturday of A1 Bimbauni, the i
former well known Chena and Ruby |
merchant. Mr. Birnbaum’s bride was'
formerly a Miss Russell of Seattle. ‘
Mr. Birnbaum left Ruby for the out
side the latter part of the summer. He j
had been associated in business there j
since the start of the Ruby camp in ;
1911, with Mr. Griffin. They sold their
interests to the Northern Commercial j
company just before Mr. Birnbaum |
went outside. During early days at j
Chenta Mr. Birnbaum was associated 1
in business with Ralph T. Kubon, of1
McIntosh & Kubon.
The announcement of Mr. Birn
baum’s marriage brings to mind the':
story of the tragic death of the first |
Mrs. Birnbaum, who was well known
i in Chena, Fairbanks and Ruby. She
[ was one of those filled in the wreck
of the steamship State of Washington
[ three years ago while she was return
ing to Alaska from a trip to the out-1
I side.
