Portland, Ore., March 24.—Oregon u ntil growers testified today in a Clear ing on the application of the BoVton Wgol Trades association for joint through rates from the Pacific coast states on wool shipments.

Ward also said wool stocks are lower on the Atlantic coRst than they ever have been. Four Factors Named. The pipe of wool rereivpd by grow ers Is detercined by four factors, Ward said. They ate: Foreign im ports. the Boston buyers’ demand, freight front producing regions and competition of mills on the Pacific coast. Ward made it Hear that it Is not so important that wool shipped hv his association should have the benefit of negotiable joint true bills of lading ns a means fo financing its members because they are enabled to receive advance* through the organization. He enlarged that the Boston conten tioh for lower rail and water rates ft npi this coast to the Atlantic sea board without making the reduction extend hack to the wool uroducing regions would penalize Portland. Sales in Transit. Commissioner Campbell observed that always there is a question of dis crimination when joint, through rail rates are applied, and asked Ward if It were not Important that there should he privileges of sale in transit. To'the commissioner's question the witness gave an affirmative reply. Campbell also made the point that the Interstate commerce commission ha* no jurisdiction cn»r intsr-cosstal steamship line*.

Disappears But Returns \\ lien Wife Is Held as Hostage at Riverview Home Secret marriage of two young Tech nical High school pupils ceased to he a secret late Monday when juvenile rourt authorities exerted influence to separate the couple, and failed. The boy is Darrel Chiles, IT; the girl Is Virginia Barker, also IT. To the world they wish to he known as Mr. and Mrs Chiles. On December 4, 1324. they went to Glen wood, la., and were married. Their secret kept until a month ago, then their parents learned the truth. The hoy's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Jes sie Chiles, promptly filed a petition asking lhat the marriage he annulled. Units School; Seeks .lob. The hoy. Darrel, did not agree to this. On the contrary he complained bitterly against it, and on last Friday he quit school and the home of his aunt, Mrs. F. H, Chiles,' of Florence. Monday found him searching fran tically for a job which would enable his to support ills girl wife. It was at this juncture that juvenile authorities decided drastic steps must lie taken. They called the parents of the young couple to (he courthouse. Then they sent a juvenile officer to Technical High school to get the girl. Virginia arrived on the scene a hit shaken, hut determined. Slip was determined that no art of hers would enable them to take her boy hus band away from her. In this sho knew she had the support of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Barker, 5300 North Twenty-fourth street. Star Actor Missing. All was set for the big scene, in which, once and for all, these "audacious children" were to lie separated. But DaYrel was not among those present. His parents were unable to locate him. Virginia, still proudly defiant, was taken away to Riverview home, while her parents protested bitterly, as did their counsel, who expressed the opinion in no uncertain terms that the head juvenile officer was trsine "high-handed, unreasonable and uncalled for methods." "Held as Hostage." "The eirl has committed no crime, yet she is being treated a* if she had," counsel stormed. "Her parents have permitted Darrel to keep on calling on her at their home, so they probably know where he is," retorted Miss Johnson. "Yoq are using Virginia as a hos tage then,” growled counsel. "Treat ing her as if she were a criminal." And so went the battle, amazingly furious, until, quite unheralded, Dar rel appeared on the scene. Threatened Confinement. t’pon hearing that Virginia had been taken to Riverview home ha be came furious and was all for dashing to the rescue. But juvenile officers trained their heavy artillery on him in an effort to convince him that neilher he nor Virginia knew their own minds. They even threatened to put him in confinement till he was ready to give her up. "I love ner and want her for my wife; and sh» loves me. so that's all there is to it,” was his way of end ing the argument, which, of course, was one of those never-ending kind which become endurance contests, ('tills All Gone, Darrels endurance and affection for Virginia proved too much. At first he even refused to return to the home of his aunt, where he knew lhere would he more argument. Rut when Virginia's parents urged him to do this he finally agreed, and de parted reiterating his love and hla determination to keep his girl wife. Juvenile officers finally brought Virginia back from Riverview- home to the courthouse, where her parents awaited her. The young wife's here tofore curly hair hung straight and her lip" quivered with emotion. "They made me comb the curl out. of my hair, and treated me Just as if T were some terrible person,” she announced bitterly. Helps With Reasons. "I don't make threats, but in my heart I feel like suing the juvenile department and every officer in it. who had a hand In this," announced the girl's father. "It didn't hurt the girl a hit," was Miss Johnson's crisp and unsympa thetic reply. "But why, oh, why, shoul I he treated In this manner?" walled Vir ginia.” I love Darrel, and I've been trying to help him with hla lessons in school. He has trouble with them, hut It Isn't my fault. He's a real athlete, though," aha concluded pride fully. And In truth Darrel is a wrestler of much ability. He Is a member of tlie Omaha Athletic club hy virtue of this. Virginia is a senior at Tech High, and soon expects to help Dar rel swell the family coffer, provided "awful meddlers" don't get them separated. Darrel and Virginia met at De Molay and Prettiest Mile club dances. They have continued tn live apart, at their respective domiciles, since their marriage. The girl s parents believe the mar tiage, despite the youlh of the chil dren, Is likely to prove a success. They intend to fight the annulment proceedings with all their resources, they announced.

Senators Boost Fund for Normal Schools $60,000 \ florimoii- Spent in Debating Kepeal of Intangible Tax Law; House Advances Drivers Bill. Bj r. r. POWELL, Staff Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Lincolnt March 2 4.—Nebraska.*: Ftite senate spent an entire after noon in debate on the intangible tax law. At 6 this evening an adjourn ment was reached without any defi nite action being taken. During the afternoon the senate killed the Wiltse proposal providing for a tax on intangibles, amounting to fill pep cent of the tax on tangibles. An amendment by Griswold calling for annual publication in one county newspaper of all Intangibles listed for taxation likewise was voted down. When adjournment was forced the senate was dehating on the Robbins proposal to place a straight four mill levy on all intangibles. Supporters of this proposal hailed It as a construc tive step in taxation laws in Nebras ka and the only successful solution of the perplexing problem reached by any state. The argument elicited the state ment from friends of the four mill levy that it would drag the intangible tax law out of politics. If this proved true and it were given four or five years to really become operative and understood, friends of the Robbins proposal asserted, millions of intangi hies hidden at this time would be placed on the tax roles and eventual h would produce more revenue than by any other Intangible tax law process. Curtis School to fief Funds. In the morning the senate engaged in dose seruntinv of the major ap propriation bill.

Ia., March 24.—Deny ing allegations that he deserted the republican party in last year* cam paign and obtained election to the 1’nited States senate “by fraud and deceit,” Senator Smith W.
