EXCEEDED POWER
French Consul Attacks Jap
anese Exclusion Order
in Court.
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

t'
I Glnzo Motonari. a Japanese, has filed
ult In the Circuit Court againBt Hana
Motonari for a divorce. He alleges
that she deserted him April 5, 19U6.
;vfter less than two months of married
3ife. They were married February 24,
i!906. This -is the first time a Japanese
ias ever sued for divorce In Oregon.
Susan A. Middleton has brought suit

CVTS OFF HIS SOX-IX-I.AW
THINKS
OS
Puzzling Point Raised In Probate
Court Proceedings.
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.

Albert Proves His Story.
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. Export business was1 marked yesterday
by the clearance of the French bark Saint
Louis. The craft carries 99,828 bushels or
wheat, valued at $89,500. She goes to

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

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

STRIKE OF ROADMAKERS
live Men at Seaside Get the Habit,
Want Shorter Hours, More Pay.
SEASIDE, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.)
Five men working on the road near
Push decided laBt week to strike for
higher wages and shorter hours. The
scale of wages against which they
struck prescribes a nine-hour day at
J3. The men demanded an eight-hour
day with 12.26, and, there being no one
present to grant their request, they all
lay down their, tools and marched
soberly home.
The amusing feature fn connection
with the walkout lies In the fact that
the' road they were Improving Is that
part of the county road over which no
body but the striaers will have to do
hauling during the Winter months, and
six or elght days would have finished
the ob. So far as learned, no picket
lines have been established, and pres
ent indications lead to the Impression
that It will be the most peaceful, har
monious and successful walkout ever
witnessed In Oregon. .

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 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. The regular practitioner is profi
cient in a large number of the commonest and
most easily conquered diseases. The specialist
must first become proficient for general prac
tice, and must then go on to proficiency In a

What Weakness Is
How I Cure It
and
'Weakness' is merely a symp
tom of chronic Inflammation In
the prostate gland, brought on by
the improper treatment of some
contracted disease. A complete
and radical cure Is, therefore, a
question of restoring: the prostate
gland to Its normal state, and this
I accomplish promptly and com
pletely without the use of internal
remedies. My treatment Is a local
one entirely. It is original and
scientific and has been proven ab
solutely effective by thousands of
tests. I am convinced that by no
other methods can full and per
manent restoration of strength
and vigor be accomplished.
