THE MOUSING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1905. TO RENEW FIGHT Friends of Referendum Going to Court. WILL ARGUE ON APPEAL If Beaten There, They Will Carry Case to the People , TO BE ISSUE IN NEXT CAMPAIGN TV. S. CRen "Will Arsrue an Friend of Court, and, if Beaten; Will Try to Get TTcw Amendment Passed by the Legislature. Tho friends of the initiative and referendum amendment will, as friends cf the court, present arguments In Its favor -when the Supreme" Court hears the appeal from Multnomah County. It cannot be tried before tho Summer vacation. If the Supreme Court decides against the amendment, the advocates of the referendum will make It the Issue of tho campaign in tho next Legislative election. Ther 'will seek to have a hew amend ment passed by two successive Legisla tures, and submitted to the people. SALEM, July 10. (Special.) Neither the referendum amendment nor the referen dum movement is dead, as will be evi denced by the great struggle that will take place in the next few weeks or months. The case involving the constitu tionality of the referendum amendment has yet to be heard In the Supreme Court, and the friends of the amendment are preparing to make the greatest possible efforts to convince the Supreme Court that the amendment is constitutional. If they fall in that, they will atxmce start a movement for the readoption of the amend ment, and will carry the fight into the next campaign. They -will try to make the referendum the great issue In the next election, and will compel every candidate for the Legislature to declare his position "upon this question. The first fight will be made in the Su preme Court. W. S. U'Ren, of Oregon City, one of the stanchest and most ardent friends of the referendum, has asked the Supreme Court to permit him or other friends of the amendment to be heard In that tribunal when the case Involving the validity of the .amendment comes up for trial. While the court has not Indicated, what disposition it will make of Mr. ITRen's request, the practice of the Su preme Court makes it almost certain that the request will be granted. Mr. U'Ren is n6t a party to the proceedings in tho Portland charter case, bq he Is not enti tled, as a matter of right, to be heard. It has always been the custom, however, where a man shows that he haB some In terest in a case, to permit him to appear and present arguments before 'the Su preme Court. In legal phraseology such a person appears as "a friend of the court." Even In civil actions of nb public im portance such appearances are permitted. Thus, In a hop contract case to be tried next Monday, an attorney will appear and present arguments. Although neither he nor his clients haveany connection with the case, they have shown that they are interested in cases which Involve the same points of law, and that the decision in this case will probably govern in the decision of their case. Desiring to hear all the arguments that can be offered, the Supreme Court permits the attorneys to appear and be heard. Can't Be Heard Before Vacation. A few days ago Attorney R. R. Duni way, of Portland, addressed a letter to Chief Justice F. A. Moore, asking whether the Portland charter case could be heard before the Summer vacation. He ex pressed a desire that the case bo heard early, because of its public importance, and said that if it could bo heard soon tho attorneys would prepare and file their briefs before tho time required by law Chief Justice Moore replied that since the transcript in tho case had not been filed, the case is not before the court, and he could make no order. He Intimated his opinion, however, that It would probably aot be possible to hear tho caso before vacation, and indicated his desire that the attorneys take, time to present briefs thor oughly dlscuEBing every phase tho ques tions Involved. No date haB been fixed when tho Supreme Court will adjourn for the Summer vacation, but, as there are but about a dozen cases undecided. It is probable that all work will be finished In about two weeks. Briefs could hardly be prepared in that time, especially if new parties should be permitted to como in and be heard. The friends of tho referendum are not a bit discouraged over the decision of.tn,e Circuit Court in Multnomah County, but believe they will bo ablo to secure a re versal. They believe, in tho first place, that tho validity of the referendum amend ment was not necessarily involved In the Portland charter case, and that that case can and should be disposed of without a decision upon the question whether the amendment was legally adopted. They "con tend that the requirements of the consti tution were followed in the adoption of the amendment, and argue also that even if the prescribed steps were not followed strictly, the amendment is valid, since it was adopted by an overwhelming majority and has been recognized by the legislative and executive branches of the government as a part of th& constitution. No argu ment, no principle of law and no author ity will be overlooked by the friends of the amendment which can aid them in their effort to convince the Supreme Judges that the referendum was legally adopted. To Pslsh "Sew Amendment. The political significance of the refer endum question has been the subject for discussion in the last few days. The friends of the referendum, assuming that the present amendment is defeated, have jr-viy begun work to secure another sub- mission of the referendum by tho next two sessions of the Legislature. "What the Importance of the issue in tlje next campaign would be may be understood by its significance In the last campaign. No candidate dared in the campaign of 1902 to utter a word that would indicate hostility to the Initiative and referendum amendment. It Is very clear that the ref erendum is not as popular as it was 15 months ago, and yet it has ardent advo cates in every party. The Democrats next Spring will be looking for an Issue, and could And nothing more to thefr liking than the initiative and referendum'. If, therefore, the Democrats should pledge all their legislative candidates to favor and work for the resubmission of the amend ment or a constitutional convention, and the Republicans should fall or refuse to do so, the Democrats would have a tremendous advantage. Probably the amendment. If resubmited, would fail of adoption, and yet by means of that Issue the Democrats would be able to draw enough strength from the Republicans to win where the party vote is close. Issue of the Campnign. Some of the strongest leaders in the Re publican party in 1S02 were opposed to the referendum, and yet for the good of the party they kept their opinions to them selves. In the next campaign there will be but a few state officers to elect, and whatever state issues are presented must be fought out over the election of mem bers of the Legislature. While the Demo crats would lose somo votes by advocating the referendum, they would gain a far greater number, and the anticipation of this would tend to Induce the Republicans in close counties to reaffirm, their alle giance to the referendum amendment. i Just now, the friends of the referendum are more concerned with questions of law than with political Issues or the merits of the initiative and referendum amendment. In tho trial In the Supreme Court the question whether the amendment was wisely adopted Is not presented. The only question is whether It was adopted at all. and this Is purely a question of law, to be determined without regard to the merits of tho referendum Itself. If it be deter mined that tho amendment was not law fully adopted, an effort will be made to adopt it again. J FUGITIVES FIGHT HARD. United States May Yet Try to Have Greene and Gnynor Extradited. QUEBEC, July 10. The United States has not abandoned its endeavors to get Gaynor and Greene, the fugitives from Justice across the line for trial before Its courts.

Both men are ,He brewi. At noon Frank and Rosenfield, the vie tinrs of the Mason City" shooting, were still alive, but Frank's condition was very critical. STOMACH TROUBLES.
