THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 6. 1903. 11 MARGIN LAW VALID Supreme Court Upholds Cali fornia Constitution. JUDGE HOLMES' FIRST DECISION He Holds That People of State Have Right to Prohibit Gambling; In. Stock on Marjrlns State Court Is Confirmed. WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Justice Holmes, today delivered the first opinion promul gated by him as a member or that court. The case was that of Otis Gassman vs. E. Parker, and involved the question S3 to whether the state constitution or uauior- nla orohibltlnfr dealings in margins on stocks -contravenes the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This decision of the California courts, which sustains tho constitution prohibit ing such dealings. Is confirmed. Justices Brewer and Peckham dissented. The case in question, grew out of an effort of the plaintiff to recover money paid for margins to a stock broker. Jus tice Holmes, In his opinion, held that the adoption of the constitutional provision by the people of California showed a deep seated local conviction that the prohibi tion against dealings in stocks on mar gins was required. This conviction Is entitled to much respect and consldera tlon. It Is said, continued Justice Holmes, that at the time the constitution was Adopted widespread ruin had been wrought by gambling in margins. Of course, that mode of dealing offered a larger oppor tunity for gambling than when the prop erty Is paid for outright. The court, he continued, was not prepared to say that xuch a provision might not be a proper method of meeting a popular delirium, ktlll less that It might not reasonably be thought a proper method of doing so. and if in practice the evil was confined to stocks, as was natural in a mining country, the court deemed it not an un justified Inequality to confine the prohi bition to stocks and not to extend it to jther possible matters of speculation, such as cotton or wheat. The opinion con cludes as follows: "We cannot say that treating stocks of corporations as a class subject to spe cial restrictions was unjust discrimina tion or the denial of tho equal protection of the laws." RUSSIAN' SUGAR MUST PAY. Being Bounty-Fed. It Ik Subject to Countervailing Duty. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. In an opinion handed down by Justice Brown today the United States Supreme Court decided in the Downs case that the money paid by the Russian government on sugar ex ported is a bounty, and that the Collec tor of Customs at Baltimore was justi fied in levying a countervailing duty -on Russian sugar under the terms of the DIngley law. The Downs case came to the Suprome Court on a writ of certiorari brought to test rulings of the lower court and of the Board of General Appraisers, holding a cargo imported Into Baltimore from Rus sia to be subject to a countervailing duty, leviable upon merchandise upon which a bounty is paid upon exportation. The opinion today affirmed these rulings. Justice Brown said tho case involved only the one 'fttiestion as to "whether un der -the laws and regulations of Russia a bounty is allowed upon the export of sugar, which subjects such sugar upon Its importation into the United States to an additional duty equal to the entire amount of such bounty, under the act of July 24, 1897." He said that, under Rus sia's method of protecting and fostering her sugar industry, free sugar which may be sold in Russia at the normal ex cise of 1.75 roubles per pound may be ex ported under a permit from the excise office, upon the return of a free sugar certificate with the Custom-Houso export mark, the excise then crediting the ex ported quantity of sugar to the free sur plus of the mill, which is subject to the double tax of 1.75 roubles. Discussing the effect of this certificate, Justice Brown said: "In practice, the market value of these certificates must vary according to the demand and supply, but the theory un derlying the transaction Is always this. that the exporter shall suffer no loss be- , cause he has exported his free sugar In stead of selling in the home market. It was practically admitted in this case that a bounty equal to the value of these cer tificates Is paid by the Russian govern ment, and the main argument of the peti tioner is addressed to the proposition" that this bounty Is paid not upon the ex portation but upon production. The an swer to this Is that every bounty upon exportation must act to a certain extent as a bounty upon exportation, since it opens to the manufacturer a foreign mar ket for his merchandise produced In ex cess of the demand at home. Where reg ulations exempt sugar exported from ex cise taxation altogether, we think they clearly fall within the definition of an in direct bounty upon exportation." MUST PAY LICENSE IN' ALASKA. Supreme Court Upholds Lair In Several Teat Cnnen. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. Justice Brewer, of the Supreme Court of the United States, today delivered the opinion of that court in a number of cases appealed from the United States Court in Alaska, which upheld the validity of the- federal statute fixing a tax on certain lines of business transactions in Alaska. The cases are: The Pacific Steam Whaling Company vs. the United States; the Pacific Coast Steamship Company vs. the United States; A. W. Corbus vs. the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Company; Charles Stewart vs. The Washington & Alaska Steamship Company. In all the cases the opinion of the Alaskan court was sus tained. Indians Can't Enjoin Hitchcock. WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-The United States Supreme Court decided the case of certain Kiowa and other Indians, insti tuted against Secretary Hitchcock, to prevent the opening of lands In Oklaho ma, holding that the Secretary was with in his rights as an executive officer of the Government, and could not be en joined; hence, that if the complaining In dians were entitled to any relief, they must go to the executive branch of the Government, and not to the courts. Taylor' Nnmc Supplants Sampson's. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-In the Su preme Court o: the United States today Chief Justice Fuller announced the sub stitution of the Tiimc of Henry C. Taylor for that of Admlry Sampson in the prize money case Instituted by Admiral Samp son in behalf of himself and other offi cers and sailors win participated In the naval battle off Sanrtigo July -3, 1S9S.

Prop, UNEQUAL TO THEIR TASK THOMAS GUINEAN ACCUSES PORT OF PORTLAND C03IMISSION. Board of Trade Persists In Refusing; to Countenance Various Radical Resolutions Offered by Member. Thomas Gulnean had a hard time at the Board of Trade meeting last night Only two of his motions received seconds, only one of them was passed, and Mr. Gulnean was very much put out about the way the board acted. He told the members that they were of no use to the city or to any body else. Besides the stormy interlude with the redoubtable Major, the board dis posed of some routine matter and received the report of the committee on by-laws. The little trouble of Mr. Moore and his alleged accounts was to have come up, but the committee and the expert wero not NEW JUSTICE OF GOVERNOR WILLIAM H. TAFT, OF THE PHILIPPINES. 1 able to report, and the business was held over till another meeting. It was stated yesterday, however, that the expert had finished ex-Secretary Moore's accounts and found them all right, but that they had been kept In a loose and slovenly manner, and that It wasT'ery hard to go over them properly. Thus it will be seen that that gentleman has been vindicated, though just what will be done about his bck salary remains to be seen. Mr. Moore says he has something coming, but the Board of Trade doesn't think so. Promptly at 8 o'clock last evening the board was called to order, with President Beach in the chair. "We will hear the minutes of the pre vious meeting, as reported by the tempo rary secretary. Mr. Miller," he announced, but as Mr. Miller's minutes had not been written. It was wisely decided not to hear them read. Tho matter of an Illustrated lecture by Engineer Corthell on "Portland and the Columbia River" was left to a committee to be appointed by the chair after the meeting. C. J. Millis. of the O. R & N. Co., asked in a letter that the board appoint dele gates to the livestock convention to be held at Kansas City this month. On mo tion, Mr. Beach and Mr. Potter were ap pointed to visit the convention If they could,, and In case they were unable to do so, Mr. Beach was given authority to ap point some other delegate. It was under stood that a vigorous attempt was to be made to secure the convention for Port land In 1MH. The secretary was Instructed to encour age the coming of manufacturing concerns from Michigan, New York and from Illi nois, who had already written to the board in quest of information as to the resources of this section of the country and of the facilities of Portland as a trade center. "We have here a letter from a gentle man In New " started Mr. Beach. "Move it be laid on thei table," said Mr. Gulnean. "Second the motion," said some one else and It was carried with a rush. "What is It?" asked one member. "It looks Important," said Secretary Shillock. "We will reconsider the motion, nnd It will be referred to Judge Smith." an nounced Chairman Beach, and it was so ordered. A communication was read from Scnatoi Mitchell, announcing that he would do his best to secure a Government officer to su perintend work at the drydock. Accepted. Again Mr. Gulnean rose to his feet. "Gentlemen, we have In this City of Portland a badge andbutton factory which does a class of work that is hard to dupli cate In this whole United States yes, the whole United States, gentlemen. It Is a model button factory. Gentlemen, do you know that a committee of citizens was re cently appointed for the livestock conven tion, and after they had raised money for buttons and badges they Ignored the Port land firm and promptly telegraphed East for buttons from an Eastern manufac turer. We could have made the same but ton in this city. I move that we censure them. It could have been done as cheaply and as well here, and any gentleman who doubts what I say'can visit the Second street factory and see for himself." "How are we going to censure a com mittee from another body?" asked Potter. "Censure them as citizens," said Mr. Gulnean, and his tones were biting as frost "No second to the motion," said Mr. Beach, and Mr. Gulnean sank to his chair again. Judge Smith read the new by-laws, and It was decided that -they should be adopted at- the next meeting. "In addition to the laws read," said Mr. Idleman, "I move that no member be al lowed to occupy the floor more than five minutes at a time, unless granted longer time by the gentlemen present" Mr. Guincan jumped to his feet "It's a waste ot paper, gentlemen." "Better waste a little paper, I think. It would be all right," murmured Mr. Shell. Mr. Idleman's motion was carried, and Mr. Gulnean looked daggers. After Messrs. Chapln and Potter were appointed to be the Chicago agents of the board, Mr. Gulnean rose again and said: "Mr. Chairman. I have here a resolution and I will admit that It Is radical very radical. But nevertheless we need radi cal measures. You all doubtless know the good work done by the board in securing good sidewalks for the City of Portland in the past year, and the good street-car lines we have also secured, and you all remember they were obtained by radical means. Then there was the matter of the Industrial Exposition, which I had the honor to found. This is about the dry dock. I have nothing against the Port of Portland, but they are not capable of fill Ing the positions " "We better read the resolution." Inter posed Mr. Beach, and Secretary Shillock read as follows: Whereas. We, the members ot the Board of Trade of Portland. Or., fully realize the neces slty o tho navigation of the largest-size ves sels from Portland to the open sea; Whereas. We regret to say that the present commission of the Port of Portland Is unequal to the task assigned to It by the people ot Portland and State of Oregon; therefore, be It Risolved, That the Board of Trade recom mend that the Multnoman delegation in the Legislature to convene at Salem this month take this vital matter in band and Investigate the manner in which said commission has per formed or attempted to perform its duties; Resolved, That tho Legislature abolish this commission known and designated as the Com mission of the Port of Portland, and in Its stead said Legislature appoint a competent en gineer to superintend the imnrovements re quired to make open rivers from Portland to the ocean, said engineer to consult with and act In harmony with the Government engineer. "That's a very sensible resolution " said THE SUPREME COURT. Mr. Frledner. who runs the button and badge factory which Mr. Gulnean had pre viously championed. "Tho Government does It, and why not the state?" asked Mr. Gulnean. Mr. Klllingsworth said that the port was all right, and that It didn't need any of fleer. It was moved to refer the resolution to a committee of three. "No," said Mr Gulnean; "this Is simply calling the attention of the people to what Is becoming of their money. I want to see the commission vested in one man. Mr. Idleman said the resolution pos sessed some merit, and that a committee composed of Messrs. Smith. Klllingsworth and Gulnean should take up the matter. Each of the three gentlemen mentioned re fused to be on the committee. "I want to say that if any of the gentle men take umbrage they can have their say. I will allow the word 'inexpert enced to be substituted for 'incompetent,' if that will suit you any better. I want to get these gentlemen who are choking off the light '" "Motion before the house to amend," said Mr. Beach. The motion was lost and likewise Mr. Guinean's resolution was lost That gen tleman jumped up. "I want to say that we are of very little value as a board, and very little use to the city. I move that a copy of this pro posed resolution be published." Like the rest of Mr. Guinean's resolu tions. It was defeated. "I will have that published; I will pay for it but It will be published." and in high dudgeon Mr. Gulnean walked away ana the board adjourned. PUNISH COAL COMBINE.

CUBAN TREATY IS SAFE OPPOSITION TO RATIFICATION MELTS ATVAY, ' No Fear That Other Nations Can Ob tain Same Concessions as ' Cuba Receives. - WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Senator Cul lopi. chairman of the committee on for eign relations, had an extended confer ence with the President today concerning the Cuban reciprocity treaty, which Is pendinir before his committee. It is his puroos to have a meeting of the com mittee on Wednesday to consider the treaty. He hopes to present a report either the latter part of this week or the first of next, and as "soon as possible after wards he will move for its consideration by the Senate. Senator Cullom believes that although some opposition to the treaty has developed it will be ratified. Later Senators Aldrich (R. I.) and For akcr (O.) had Interviews with the Pres ident, during which the status of the Cuban treaty was discussed briefly. Both Senators are confident that the treaty will be ratified. President .ooscvelt's confidence in the success of the treaty has not been shaken In" the least by the opposition to It. In fact during the past few days, he has re ceived assurances from some of those Sen ators who last Spring opposed the Cuban lesislat'jn that they would support tho treaty t Is understood also that many of the beet sugar men have withdrawn their opposition to ratification of the treaty. It is pointed out that there Is no like lihood that, in the event of the exten sion to Cuba of tariff concessions. Ger many, France or other European nations will ask for similar advantagee, under the favored-nation clause. They might re quest that similar concessions be grant ed to them. It is said, but they could not ask for or demand them as a matter of right. Their request would be a subject for consideration and negotiations. Re ciprocity treaties may be made between any two nations without reference to the most favored-nations clause. Any tariff arrangement made between the United States and Cuba, therefore, if concluded In the form of a treaty, could not be re garded by any other nation as the basis of a demand upon this country that It be afforded advantages equal to those grant ed to the Cuban republic.
