DEFENDS CAPTAIN HEMET Raises Interesting Point In Case of Master of Ship St. Louis, Charged With Allowing Oriental Seamen to Desert. Out of a comparatively unimportant ease ftred in the Federal Court yes terday, involving the escape of two Japanese sailors from a French ves sel in Portland harrjor, has , arisen a legal question that may end no one knows where. The temporary results are that Judge Wolverton has beenj called upon to decide whether the re Tent order of the President of the United Spates excluding; Japanese coolies is legal or illegal. The case presents the unique spectacle of a Trench Consul fighting In an American court to uphold the right of subject? of Japan to enter the United States without hindrance. The case that brought about this etate of affairs is that of Maurice Alphonse Hemet. master of the French Hhip St. Louis, now in Portland harbor, who was recently arrested by the Fed eral authorities for being a party to the escape from the ship and entrance Into the United States, without pass ports, of two Japanese laborers. The (master's fine was 300 In each case. Captain Hemet appealed to his Con sul, C. Henri Labbe, of this city; and because the St. Louis is ready to sail and is being held to await the out come of the matter, the trial was tak en up forthwith in the Federal Court, with- Judge Wolverton on the bench. United States Attorney Bristol repre ented the Federal Government and M. Labbe represented Captain Hemet. French, Consul's Contention. ' M. Labbe contended that Captain Hemet was Innocent of any intentional violation of the law, as he had sailed before it had gone into effect and had not heard of the President's order, being on the high seas at the time It was made. But entirely apart from this view 'of the matter, and even it Captain Hemet had been deliberate In the mat ter, was the fact, it. Labbe maintained In court, that the President of the United States has no right to issue an order requiring ' passports from the Japanese, hence Captain Hemet was 'not legally bound to obey such an or der. M. Labbe held that as Japan is on the most-favored nation basis with the United States, the United States through its President, could not with out violation of Its treaty obligations, Issue an order against Japanese -immigration not applying with equal force to all other nations. As the United States did not require such conditions from other nations that it could not do so from Japan alone. Hence, al though Captain Hemet might have done willfully all he was accused of, he was guilty of no violation of any law, because the President's recent or der was not lawful. , As the delicate questions at issue, according to M. Labbe, Involve far reacning consequences. Judge Wolver ton yesterday withheld his decision for further consideration. . Three Important Questions. Apart from the guilt or Innocence of the French ship captain, M. Labbe says there are three vastly import ant questions. First, whether a Fed eral Judge can practically revoke an order of the President of the United States without the matter going be fore the Supreme Court of the United States; second, whether there Is a pos sible violation, of treaty rights with Japan; and third, what is the status of the matter of Japanese and Hindu exclusion at present? - According to United States Attorney Bristol the plea of the French Con sul befogged the real Issue In the case. Mr. Bristol held that the United States 'ha.d a right to exclude the Japanese, especially In this particular case, not only under the President's order but under regulations of the Immigration .department. These regulations pro vlde that if a Japanese has no pass port -from his home government, as was the case with the two Orientals concerned, he shall be presumed to thold passports from Canada, Corea or Mexico; and Mr. Bristol contended fthat the President's order and other (regulations and laws provide that pass Vnorts for Japanese laborers, such as J these Japanese are admitted to be, from these three countries,-' will not liadmlt Japanese laborers into the ;Unlted States. Mr. Bristol maintained that the Pres ident's order is not involved, and that (Judge Wolverton had merely to de cide on the mere guilt or innocence f Captain Hemet. 7APAXESE SlTES FOR DIVORCE iGlnzo Motonarl Says Ills Wife De serted Htm During Honeymoon. t' I Glnzo Motonari. a Japanese, has filed ult In the Circuit Court againBt Hana Motonari for a divorce.

What disposition to make of the es tate of Martin Gllllhan Is the question -which la puzzling the County Court, as well as the attorney for the estate and the heirs. In his will Gllllhan specified that his estate of $36,725 was to be divided equally among his nine children if the husband of his daugh : ter, Mrs. Lucy Ann Gardner, should die before she did. In case she died first the husband was to have 1, and 300 is devised to pay the wife's fu- neral expenses and purchase a tomb 1 stone. The object or this provision ids todeprlve Mr. Gardner of any part in the estate. In order tbat a division of the e- tate may be made at once it is prob able that a suit will be Instituted for the appointment of a trustee to hold the money in question until the death of Mr. or Mrs. Gardner. The final account of the estate of Alonzo G. Barker, filed yesterday with the County Clerk by Ida K. Barker, executrix, shows the estate to be worth IS461.60. The- final account of the estate of M. A. Townsend, filed with the County Clerk by Elwood E. Quay, administra tor, gives the value of the estate at 11058.25. The resignation of Harry Q. Aldrich as administrator of the estate of Fred J. Rooney, was accepted yesterday by Judge Webster. TAYLOR TRIAL XEARIXG EXD Husband Says Revelations Made by Witness Startle Httn. The trial of the long-drawn-out divorce suit of Malvina' Taylor ' against Robert Taylor, will probably be decided today, as the testimony of the defendant's wit nesses was concluded yesterday. Roberf Taylor, when placed upon the stand in his own behalf, said he was startled at the revelations concerning his wife's character made in court during the trial. Alice M. Burns, one of the witnesses called for the defense, said that while she was walking down the street Wednes day night, Mrs. Taylor and a woman friend sneered at her. 'Did you not." saked Henry St. Raynor, attorney for the wife, "in the presence of Mrs. Fleck, a friend of Mrs. Taylor, say: 'You bet, when I get on the stand I will show her?' " i Mrs. Burns would not answer directly until compelled to do so by the court, when she said: "'No." It was this ques tion which gave Mrs. Burns the oppor-' tunlty to indulge in a lengthy disser tation upon the treatment she had re ceived from Mrs. Taylor since the com mencement of the djvoroe trial. G. W. Brown, who drew up the deeds conveying Mrs. Taylor's interest in her property over to the Taylor Investment Company, testified when Mrs. Taylor signed the deed there was no indication of her being misled by her husband.

Adam Albert, who attempted to show the court without documentary evi dence, last Tuesday, that he paid his wife's bills to the amount of $60 out of a monthly salary of $54, brought the receipted bills to court yesterday morning. District Attorney Manning had Investigated th case and had found no grounds for the non-support action. Judge Webster ordered Albert to pay his wife $10 a month for her personal needs, beside supporting her. Thomas Brande was ordered by the court to pay his wife $40 a month and turn over to her his life Insurance policy, or go to the rockplle. Allow Tax Roll Inspection. Citizens will be given an opportunity this year to Inspect the valuations of Assessor Sigler before they are sub mitted to the Board of Equalization. In the past the rolls have not been completed in time for the public to have access to them until the board meets. This year, however, Mr. Sig ler has rushed the work along so that? the records will be open for inspec tion one week or 10 days before the date of the board meeting, the third Monday in October. Both the public, and the Board- of . Equalization wlff gain by the additional time allowed for Inspection. Raise Question on Payment. Whether or not tHe last payment on a mortgage of $2500 was made In May, 1897, will determine the question as to the legality of a foreclosure. This point Is brought up in the suit of C. C. Prince against Mary A. Fallows and Benjamin Fallows, which is now being tried before Judge Gantenbein. Prince alleges that the mortgage was drawn in 1891, and that $300 was paid on it in October, 1902. Mr. and Mrs. Fallows hold that the last pay ment was made in May, 1897, more than ten years ago, and that the statute of limitations bars foreclosure. Change Pleas to Guilty. Julius Weinbach, Tony Amaud, M. Arnaud Forcat and Henrietta Vandaress, all of whom were indicted for keeping houses of ill-repute In the North End, changed their pleas of not guilty to guilty before Judge Cleland yesterday. Sentence will be pronounced at a later date. The suit was brought by District Attorney Manning in an effort to rid the city of the Frenchmen who prey upon fallen women. Arnaud was one whose practices were often brought to the notice of the police. Ask That Olson's Drays Stop. The Olson-Roe Transfer Company filed with the Circuit Court yesterday a suit against C. M. Olson, praying for a tem porary injunction restraining him from carrying on a drayage and storage busi ness in Portland, and asking that the In junction be made permanent upon the final hearing of the case. Damages to the extent of $.1000 are also asked, as It is alleged that the defendant carried on business in this city contrary to an agreement made with the- plaintiff. Contention Over Cement Bill. ' The Arm of Mclnnis & Reed is suing D. K. Buchanan in Judge Fraier's de partment of the Circuit Court to recover $2579.70 damages. The Arm did construc tion work for Buchanan, and there Is some misunderstanding as to whether the contract provided that the plaintiff or the defendant should furnish the cement to be used.

MARCH SHIP MEN Clan Buchanan Chartered for Outward Loading. THE RATE IS 30 SHILLINGS Ship Is Now En Route for Santa Rosllla, Mexico, With General Cargo From Hamburg Fixed by Glrvin Eyre. Girvin & Eyre yesterday chartered the British ship Clan Buchanan for outward loading at Portland for the United King dom, cancelling date of March 31, for 30 shillings. This la about the best rate that has been paid for distant loading. For November-December cargoes as high as 32s 6d has been paid for sail and the steamship Redhill received 33s 9d. It was rumored yesterday that two steamships had refused that figure for 30 days can celling. No confirmation of the report could be had. . The Clan Buchanan is a vessel of 1966 net tons register and sailed from Ham burg, June 3, for Santa Rosllla with gen- al cargo. She la due at the Mexican port late next month or early In Novem ber.

Foreign, lumber shipments have been confined to Queen Alexandra which cleared for Shanghai with 3,206,140 feet. A small amount was taken on the Nu mantla. The Tola, under charter to carry lumber to Port Natal, and the Slam, for Port Adelaide, will probably get away before the end of the month. STEAMERS BRING IN TAXBARK Wasp and Casco Have Entered Trade Which Was Neglected. ' The steamers Wasp and Casco are dis charging tanbark at the Oregon Round Lumber Company's dolphins. The former came in from Needle Rock and the latter from Fort Bragg. The tanbark is for Weber Bros., at Fulton, and Is being dis charged upon lighters? Prior to two years ago there was a considerable trade on the Coast for tan bark carriers. Fort Bragg and Needle Rock were convenient loading places for small tonnage steamers. The demands of the lumber trade during the period fol lowing the disaster In San Francisco were too ' alluring to the owners of ateam schooners' to permit the waste of time In calling for tanbark and all of the supply was shipped by rail. Low rates and small demand for lum ber have forced the small craft hack to tanbark for northbound cargoes. Trouble Over a Dock. MONTE8ANO. Wash., Sept 26. (Special.)- Some time ago the County Com missioners decided to close the Oyebut dock to public use, and A. O. Damon asked the Board to turn It over to him, which they did. but no bill of sale or lease for the dock was made out. Damon now says the dock is his private property and is enforcing toll on all who use the wharf. The Inhabitants of North Beach object, and it is now up to the Commissioners again to make some definite arrange ment concerning It. They say no deed or stipulation having been made It still belongs to the" county. Sybal Marston at South Bend. SOUTH BEND, Waah.j Sept. 26 (Spe cial.) The steam schooner Sybal Marston, the largest wooden steam schooner on the Pacific Coast, arrived today and Is being loaded with ties for San Pedro. This steamer was built In Oakland by Hohelson and was In jured during the San Francisco quake. She Is a handsome vessel and carries between 100,100.000 and 100,200,000 feet. She has triple expansion en gines, and burns oil. She carries a crew of - 26 men under Captain Dan Jordenson. Repairing the Norma.

In order to keep the home neat and pretty, the children well dressed and tidy, women overdo and often suffer in alienee, drifting- along from bad to worse, knowing- well that they ought to have help to overcome the pains and aoh.es whioh daily make life a burden. It is to these women that Lydla B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, comes as a blessing. When the spir its are denreased. the head and back aches, there are dragging-dovrn pains, nervousness, sleeplessness, and reluctance to go anywhere, these are only symptoms which unless heeded, are soon followed by the worst forms of Female Complaints. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound keeps the feminine organism ina strong and healthy condition. Tt cures Inflammation, Ulceration, displacements, and organic troubles. In preparing for child-birth and to carry woman safely through the Change of Life it is most efficient. Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pink ham: "For a long time I suffered from female troubles and had all kinds of aches and pains in the lower part of back and sides, I could not sleep and had no appetite. Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham's-Vegetable Compound and following the advioe which you gave me I feel like a new woman and I eannot praise your medicine too highly."

FUNDS TO BE TRANSFERRED COUNCIL SOLVES THE WATEK TOWER PROBLEM. Money Set Aside for North Third Street Englne-House Will Be Temporarily Diverted. The purshase of a water tower and a site for a new engine-house In the vicinity of the North Portland hos pitals will probably be authorized by the Council at Its adjourned meeting this afternoon. A plan was agreed on yesterday by Chairman Flelschner, of the fife committee (of the Executive Board, and Chairman Rushlight of the ways and means committee of the Council, whereby money will be avail able for both purposes. The plan suggested is that the ap propriation that has been . made for the erection of an engine-house at Third and Gllsan streets be recalled to the general fund, then voted out for the water tower and engine-house site. It Is not probable that the spec ifications for the Gllsan-street engine house will be completed in time to allow the erection of the building be fore the end of the year. . Another appropriation for this building can therefore be provided In the estimates for next year. In the meantime , the water tower and""slte near the hospitals, which are urgent matters, can be provided for. Rushlight, who had signed a minor ity report against the purchase of a water tower, believes that the new plan is the beBt solution of the dif ficulty. There is $20,400 in the fund for the North Portland engine-house and this will cover the cost -of both the water tower and new site. With additional money that will be avail able it may also be possible to pur chase a site for another engine-house In the vicinity of Fourteenth and Mil streets. A Council resolution for the selection of such a side was received by the fire committee of the Execu tive' Board yesterday and referred to Assistant Fire Chief -Laudenklos. A special meeting of the ways and means committee will be called by Rushlight today before the Council convenes. He will then submit the plan that has been outlined and it ie probable' that both the majority and minority reports on the water tower will be withdrawn. In their place the committee will recommend that the appropriation for the " North Portland engine-house be used for the water tower and an engine-house site near the hospitals. ADJOURNED MEETING TODATf Council Will Dispose of Much Ac- cumulated Business. An adjourned meeting of the Council will be held this afternoon at 1 o'clock for the purpose of taking up business that It was impossible to dispose of at the regular session Wednesday afternoon. One of the most important items that will come up will be an ordinance giving the Zimmerman Packing Company a per mlt to operate its plant in South Port land. A decision against this company for operating a slaughter-house within the city limit! has been appealed to the Supreme Court and the ordinance will protect his plant pending a decision by that body. In addition to this and much routine business -the Council will consider the ap plication of the People Market Associa tion for a new franchise to the market block In South Portland. Tt is believed i MEN "I claim to know a great deal about a few ailments, rather than a little x of all human ills." THE WORK OF A SPECIALIST IS THE DOI'G OK A FEW THIXGS BEST. There is not a physician living who can claim to be proficient in the treatment of all human ailments and diseases. To attain the highest possible degree of nroflclency in all departments of medical," science would require half a dozen lifetimes of study and as manv more of practical experience.
