The errors of Bull Croll, sub bing at shortstop for Ross Hall, who is out of the game on account of an in jured knee, gave today's game to Portland. Croll let two easy popups glide through si fingers, and the muffs cost a run each. Garvin and Callff pitched beautiful ball in the face of support that was far from perfect, but the errors of the Portland men did not prove as costly as those made by Croll. Both pitchers were in the hole most of the time, and there were 21 men left on bases. Jud Smith furnished the fielding fea ture of the game by robbing Blanken ship of a hit by a swell one-handed stop In the ninth. Kane was on second and would have scored had the ball got away, but that stop put the final touch on Seattle's chances. The batting of McLean was another feature, for the big fellow got four hard hits in as many times at bat. Only one of the hits counted in the run-getting, how ever. The score: SEATTLE.

Assistant Manager Higgins, of the Port land Baseball Club, said Monday night. before the Beavers left for Seattle, that there was still room for doubt whether Portland or San Francisco Is in the lead In the pennant race. A disputed game be tween the Beavers and Los Angeles is the turning point of the issue. On April 30, on the Los Angeles grounds, Portland left the field before the game was fin ished, by agreement with the Angel man ager, to catch a train. The locals were ahead at the time, but Los Angeles pro tested and was given the game by Umpire McDonald. President Bert afterwards said the game should go to Portland, but apparently he has never had such deci sion entered on the secretary's books. THE DAY'S HORSE RACES. At Brighton Beach.

Four members of the Portland Bowing Club George Houghton, Harry Smith, Bernard Winneman and George Allen left Eugene in canoes Sunday, and are making the trip down the Willamette In their boats. They expect to consume a week on the way, as they are making It by easy stages, camping as they go. NORWEGIAN STEAMER HERE OTTA COMES TO COMPLETE CARGO FOR SIBERIAN PORTS. Has Part Cargo From San Francisco and sound Ports and Will Finish Here. The Norwegian steamship Otta. ar rived at the Montgomery dock yes terday and commenced taking on the remainder of her cargo for Vladivos tok and other Siberian ports. She com menced to load on Puget Sound and was then sent to San Francisco, and at boch of these ports only a portion of her cargo was forthcoming. The Otta then proceeded to this city to com plete her cargo. She commenced load ing flour and grain yesterday and will finish with 1,500,000 feet of lumber. While flying the Norwegian flag the Otta has not yec visited a Norwegian port, for ever since she was built the vessel has been engaged in other parts of the world. For the first few years after she was launched she piled as a collier between Cape Breton and Boston and was later sent around to the Pacific, where she has been engaged in the tramp freighting business between the Sound ports, San Francisco and the Orient. This is her first visit to Port land, and it is likely that she will re turn here for another cargo of lumber as soon as her present cargo is de livered. NIPPON LINERS MAY COME Japanese Inspect Portland Harbor and May Establish Line. Agents for the Nippon Tusen Kaisha, or Japanese Mail Steamship Company, have been in this city for the purpose of looking over the field and reporting to the headquarters of the steamship com pany as to the advisability of having their vessels call at this port. Messrs. S. Awaya and A. Tatsui, of the Nippon Yusen line, were escorted to the different points of interest in the harbor, visited the drydock at St. Johns ari in vestigated the commercial conditions of the port at some length. The Japanese oftlcials are said to have left very highly Impressed with local con ditions, and will probably advise the ex tension of their line to this city. The visit of the Japanese agents is also believed to be the result of an agreement between James J. Hill and the agents of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha whereby the Japanese liners will call at Portland In stead of Seattle, and thereby give the Hill liners right of way without competition from the Sound, while at the same time the North-Bank branch of the Hill road could secure the bulk of the new line's business out of this city. Local shipping circles will watch future developments with considerable interest, for an alliance between Hill and the Nip pon forces would mean an added impetus to the local Oriental trade. For any case of nervousness, sleepless ness, weak stomach, indigestion, dyspep sia, relief is sure in Carter's Little Liver Pill. DELAYED BY FOG Steamer F. A. Kilburn Loses Almost Two Days. WEATHER WAS PECULIAR Captain Merriam Reports Encoun tering Dense Fog Bank Along Coast Which Has Been in Evidence Since Earthquake. The steamer F. A. Kilburn arrived up from San Francisco and way ports last evening and berthed at the Greenwich dock. She brings 74 passengers from the coastwise ports, which is the limit of her capacity, and in addition has all the freight she can carry. Captain R. W. Merriam states that his vessel was delayed almost two days on the up trip through the most peculiar weather conditions he has ever witnessed on the Coast. While approaching Eu reka he encountered so dense a fog bank that it was necessary for him to pick up the Eureka light buoy and anchor for 26 hours before being able to make the port. The same fog was encountered at the entrance to Coos Bay and there the vessel was delayed 14 hours. "I cannot account for the peculiar phe nomenon," said Captain Meriram last evening, "for we never before experi enced such heavy fogs off that section of the Coast and In addition there were other noticeable weather conditions that did not seem to harmonize with previous experiences along our route. These phe nomena have been noticed to some ex tent ever since the San Francisco earth quake and whether they are a result of this occurrence we qanot say, but the fact remains that conditions arrive at times that keep a navigator guessing. So far nothing out of the ordinary, except for the loss of a few hours, has occurred, and I do not think that any dangerous conditions are likely to arise as a result of the atmospheric Or climatic changes. Aside from the delay, we had a very pleasant voyage, and are meeting with excellent business along the Coast. We are filled up both with passengers and freight on every trip, which, of course, augurs well for coastwise trade." The Kilburn made the run up from Astoria in seven hours, which is con sidered excellent time for a vessel of her class. The work of unloading commenced al most before her passengers disembarked, for the vessel has enough outward freight on the dock to tax her capacity and will take a full list of passengers on the re turn trip. In spite of the edict recently issued by the company, there is a continued de mand for berths to San Francisco, but as the coastwise traffic easily taxes the vessel's capacity, none are sold. The Kilburn is scheduled to leave on the return trip Thursday evening, and yesterday Agent Greenough was forced to turn away considerable freight booked for the Coast towns and San Francisco. Some little freight may possibly be re ceived today if the vessel's capacity will be able to accommodate it, which will be known when the work of loading her is well under way. KITSAP TRIAL RUN TODAY. First Trip of New Vessel Will Be Held This Afternoon. The first run of the steamer Kitsap will be held this afternoon. The vessel will start from Supple's shipyard and will be taken down to the oil tanks at LInnton, where she will be tanked up for a short spin as far as the Columbia and from there will proceed back to the city. Owing to the demand of the owners for her immediate delivery at Seattle, the vessel will not have a very extensive trial here, for the tijie is limited and it will be necessary to house her over before being taken around to the Sound. Captain E. W. Spencer will have the helm when the new craft swings from her moorings for the first time this after noon, and he will probably let her out a trifle when she passes beyond the citv limits. There will not be any great effort made to test her real speed capacity, for it is me aesire or the builder to permit this part of her preliminary work to be done when she reaches the Sound and is given her owners' trial. Captain J. J. Reynolds, who Is to take the vessel over to the Sound, is In Port land and will be one of the interested personages aboard on this afternoon's run. ROANOKE SAILS TOMORROW California Liner Brings Full Cargo and Will Return Immediately. The North Pacific Steamship Com pany's steamer Roanoke arrived up from San Francisco yesterday. She was slightly delayed at Eureka by the fog prevailing along the coast, and came up a little behind her schedule. The Roanoke brought 142 passen gers and 600 tons of general merchan dise from San Francisco. She will leave tomorrow evening on the return trip and has most of her berths engaged, for she is the only passenger vessel on the San Francisco run. It is likely that the Barracouta. which is reported as having sailed from San Francisco yesterday, will ar rive here tomorrow and may be able to leave Saturday. She will take all the passengers who may not be able to get berths on the Roanoke tomor row. Enough freight is piled on Colum bia dock to tax the capacity of the Roanoke and yesterday the agents commenced refusing freight for this voyage. Enough business is offering to supply several more vessels be tween Portland and San Francisco. NO WORD FROM KOHALA. Barkentine Which Left Aberdeen May 10 Not Heard From. ABERDEEN, Wash., July 17. (Spe clal.) No word has been received from the barkentine Kohala. which sailed for Shanghai, China, from this port May 10. The captain of the Kohala was arrested on his ar rival here some time ago on complaint of his sailors who claimed that they had been maltreated, but he was re leased for lack of evidence. The Kohala remained here several weeks after she was loaded for Inability to obtain a crew. DRYDOCK SAFE AT OLONGAPO Dewey Is Anchored at Her Destina tion in Philippines. WASHINGTON. July 17. The Navy Department has been advised of the safe arrival of the monster drydock Dewey at Olongapo Naval Station. The huge craft has been achored safely at Riviera Point and will be fitted for use Immediately. She is con sidered to be In an excellent location on account of the single foot rise of tide noted at this point. KELVINBANK IS CHARTERED J. J. Moore & Co. Secure Steamers to Load Lumber for Vladivostok. The British steamship Kelvinbank commenced discharging her cargo of cement at the Mersey dock yesterday, and the work will protfibly be com pleted by the end of the week. As soon as she has finished discharg ing cement she will commence loading lumber for J- J- Moore & Co., who have taken the vessel to carry 3,500,000 feet of fir to Sydney, Australia. Marine Notes. The O. R. & N. Co.'s bar tug Wallula was brought up from Astoria yester day and hauled on the ways at the boneyard for an overhauling. The vessel is to be placed in first-class condition for the heavy Fall traffic. The German ship Emilie went into the stream yesterday and will leave down today. She takes 1,383,963 feet of lumber destined for Copenhagen. Her cargo is valued at $43,470. The oilcarrier Asuncion arrived at LInnton late last night from San Francisco. She will probably be brought to Portland in case the tanks at Portsmouth are not in condition. Two more scows will be launched at Supple'p shipyards today. They will be taken to the scene of the' Portland & Seattle Railway work immediately, where they are to be used in carrying rock and materials for the construc tion of the Columbia River bridge. .Tnspnh Sunole is also constructing a pile driver for the same people and it is expected to have this completed in a short time. The frame work for the new steamer Delta, which is to be shipped knock down to the Alaska Commercial Com pany, Is practically completed and will shortly be ready to be sent Norths Arrivals and Departures. . e-rr-nr ...... 1- Cnniltinn nf the bar WXVA-rt., u uiy ...... at . tr. aa.-. srnuom, a"..." - - cloudy.

LAWS AND THE COURTS JUDGE CAREY DEFENDS THE JUDICIARY FROM CRITICISM. The People Cannot Be Trusted to Make Their Own Statutes, He Thinks. Under the Initiative. PORTLAND. Or., July 17. (To the Edi tor.) Tour editorial in Sunday's Oregonian, criticizing the laws and judicial decisions of this country as favoring corporations at the expense of the rights of individuals, presents an extreme view, and one wnicn a conser a- tive Journal ought not, in my Judgment, seriously present to its readers. The stability of our institutions in xne United States depends upon two things more than all others combined, and both of these are undermined by such newspaper articles as the one I mention. These are, first, care fulness and deliberation In the enactment of laws, and, secondly, respect and moral sup port of the courts by the press and the peo ple. Our system of government is peculiar, as you will observe. In the two characteristic features of providing unusual safeguards against hasty and ill-considered legislation, and in providing a Judiciary as far removed as possible from political Influence and from the influence of popular clamor vested with extraordinary powers. The right and the duty of the judiciary to pass upon the con stitutionality of laws has never been serious ly questioned since the days of the great Chief Justice Marshall, whose review of the reasons why such power Is, and ought to be, lodged in the judicial branch of the Government is so clear and comprehensive that It sets at rest forever all debate unon that subject. The principal objection to the initiative method of adopting laws, as now provided in Oregon, Is the very apparent danger that laws will be enacted in times of passion and prejudice which are unjust or imperfect. By the legislative method, the Legislature con venes several months after the election. Bills introduced are. In practice, referred to com mittees and discussed In open session. Two houses must concur in adopting the measures proposed, and great care is taken, under the rules, to see that they are properly enrolled and engrossed, and signed by the presiding officers. Finally, they must be submitted to the Executive for approval or rejection. The constitution carefully protects against special or local laws on certain subjects wherein favoritism or Inequality may affect the value of the measure as a publ ic law ; and the title must indicate the subject, and matters not germane to the subject cannot be Incor porated In the act. The yeas and nays must be recorded, and the public reading of the bill by sections in each house cannot be dis pensed with. These and other safeguards under the con stitution are intended to and do to some ex tent protect against ill-advised and carelessly drawn laws. But even so, defective statutes are not uncommon, as everyone knows. That a law drawn by one citizen and petitioned for by others who have not had the advan tage of discussion In committee or In public meeting, and who, as a rule, sign the peti tion without even reading the bill, will more frequently than not be defective, not to say oppressive and unjust in some of Its fea tures, seems to me almost a certainty. Yet this Is the Initiative plan which we have adopted In Oregon. And voters are required, to express themselves at the polls for or s gainst the proposed measure as a whole, without power of amendment, and generally without knowing more of Its Import or Its contents than is to be derived from some more or less misleading, but possibly vote catching, title or phrase by which, it is in dicated on the ballot and spoken of upon the stump. Such a method of adopting laws Is so crude and so much in conflict with the methods evolved by experience of mankind that the wonder is that It could ever be made a part of the fundamental law of one of the American states. Yet. the argument you mak", that because there are, under Ameri can constitutions, checks and brakes, so that law-making must go slowly and carefully, and, secondly, because the independent Judl c ial branch of the Government exercises un der these constitutions the right to declare a law to be not in harmony with the supreme and fundamental law of the land, there is a tendency to take away or limit the exer cise of individual rights, meets its answer at once in the illustration we have in our own state of the dangers of the exercise of the popular franchise upon Initiative legis lation. The written constitution la a guide and a compass. No matter what the storm of public opinion, the constitution should direct the course of legislation, and limit the action. of officers and citizens. Otherwise property Is held at the whim of the populace, and personal liberty Is never safe. In Oregon we may now be said to have no constitution, because what we call the constitution la sub ject to amendment at each electtlon. Such amendments may be supported by many per sons who neither know nor care about the effect of their votes. It has been the pride of our country that the courts have been kept free from sus picion of partisanship or venality. The very rare Instances In which any American judge has been accused of dishonesty or partiality may be forgotten in contemplating their marvelous record of almost universal probity and high-minded and conscientious devotion to duty. And this Is the safeguard, the greatest of all safeguards, against anarchy and destruction. For In the courts the peo ple may safely put their trust. Wrong de cisions may be not infrequent; the law's de lays may be subject to just criticism, but as long as citizens may look with confidence to the courts, to deal honestly and fearlessly with judicial questions, and to declare, if need be, that a law is Invalid because it is not grounded upon the constitution, the faults of the Legislature or of the Executive, or the unreasoning impulse of the people themselves toward action which will later be repented of, will be checked and reduced to a minimum. Corporations are the natural result of commercial evolution. They exist not only in America, under the American constitution and judicial decisions, but In all civilized countries. There has been no tendency to favor corporations at the expense of Indi viduals to be discerned In the legislations, or the decisions of the courts. But the great enterprises that have distinguished America as the most progressive of all countries in trade and manufacture have been made pos sible by corporations, such as irrigation com panies, railroad companies, manufacturing companies, trading and mercantile companies, and many more, that are mere forms of gathering together under one management the sums of money that could not be con tributed by one single individual, and that can best be handled by corporations rather than partnerships. The privileges enjoyed by such corporations are granted them because It is necessary in accomplishing the great projects of commerce and manufacture that such companies be formed, and because they cannot be formed or made successful with out the privileges mentioned. They are owned by their stockholders, who are indi vidual citizens. Their property Is, or should be, sacred as Is the property of the Individual. But it will not be sacred, nor will the prop erty of individuals be sacred if constitutions are abolished and courts are treated with contempt. Mark you, I am not saying that there are not abuses of corporate management, nor need of legislation to correct abusea I do not say that great aggregations of capital, under corporate management, as for that matter under individual management, may not become a menace, and may not neea careful and thoughtful legislation as a rem edy. But I say that if you get away from your constitution, if you incite the people to distrust the judiciary, if you adopt such foolish measures as the initiative, you de stroy the very foundation of individual rights and liberties. Legislatures, and, in some remote degree, the courts also, reflect the public will. Radi cal, hasty, and destructive legislation is not to be recommended as a cure for the ills that now exist in the body politic But, if evils are discovered, remedial legislation will follow In due course, through the action of Congress and the state Legislatures, under the forms of the constitution. It may some times seem that such legislation comes slow ly, but It is better to come slowly than too fast, as the experience of mankind most cer tainly shows. And when public opinion con centrates upon the wrong and the remedy, the Legislatures soon follow. They may be slow, and the checks against haste may seem too numerous to the impatient and the radical, but as surely as the stars move in their prescribed courses the evolution of law progresses, and It is not well to advise such modification of the system of government as will unduly hasten legislation In one direc tion, lest it hasten too fast in other direc tions also, and lest all control and limitation be lost.
