Whllo be aara ho believes tho courts will uphold tho present law. ho wanta to mass certain that tho ea loona cloao Huadaya and will en deavor to bare hla new ordinance paaifd by anaalmooa consent at tho first session of tho Council. On tho drat Sunday following the vic tory of the anti-prohlbltlon forces la t no stata election. Ave saloonkeepers were arrested (or violations of the liquor regulations, and appeared for trial In il unl. Ipal Conn yesterday. Mrmi flagrant of the offenses was that of Frank McCann. who waa arrested by Patrolmen Helms and Shaffer at Ml Washington street. The officers said that from a convenient hiding; place they saw McCann paaa out bottles of Intoxicants to not leas than men. Two charge were placed against htm. of selling liquor on Sunday and of having: bis sa loon open on Sunday. Attorney McCue appeared and entered a plea of guilty to the first charge, but aaked for a dismissal of the second on the ground that the saloon was not actually open, only the proprietor be Inn Inalde. whllo the purchasers were out side. McCue also adverted to the fact that the Hunday closing? law haa been placed at Issue In tho Circuit Court, and exited Judge Tazwell to take that fact Into consideration. Tlila Is such a flag-rant violation of the law." said Judge Taxwell. "that I d not feel Inclined to extend tha de fendant any leniency, and 1 regret that the maximum Una In either case Is only ICSw This defendant should properly be charged with an additional offense for every sale he made yesterday. The con tention of the defense that the saloon waa not open Is not good. I believe, aa It haa been held that If a saloon pro prietor simply opens bis place of busi ness to get an overcoat, or aucb matter, he la teehnltally guilty." I'pon further representation by the de fense that MrCann would not offend In tue future, the court took the second charge, nnder advisement until today.

COST OF GOODS MAY RISE Employers Likely to Charge More for Product to Offset Burden New Measure Entailer Pen alties Xot Feared. Oregon employers of labor are fac ing a doubling of liability Insurance rates aa one result of the approval by the voters In the recent election of the Initiative employers' liability law. It 1 the understanding among agents of liability Insurance companies In Portland that the Pacific Coast man agers have had a meeting In San Fran cisco and have decided upon this course. When the Increase In ratea will take effect la uncertain. ' At the office of the Employers' Association one liability Insurance company waa mentioned yea terday which had Instructed Its Ore gon representatives to . seek no new business and to arrange to put out atandlng policies on January 1 under new rates, to be announced later. W. J. Clemena. J. H. Burgard and E. L. Pettis, representing leading liability Insurance companies, expresaed the opinion yesterday that the new law, in asmuch as it Imposes more burdens on the employers, must be met by an In crease In the rate of Insurance, but as serted lack of definite Information as to increases. At an informal meeting of employers this phase of the situation was dis cussed yesterday and was generally ad mitted to be an Inevitable result. Price of Production May Rise. Just what will be done to meet this Increased cost of liability Insurance Is problematical, but several courses are under discussion. It Is suggested that the employer may enter the Increased rate as "overhead" cost of production and add It to the price of his product. In this way the consumer would "pay tha freight" on the new liability law. In aome of the smaller lines of manu facture, insurance companies refuse to write policies and these barred con cerns. It la aald. In view of the fsct that an Injury to one employe may result-In putting the employer out of business, must adopt some plan of tax ing employee for an Indemnity fund similar to the hopsltal funds for which fees are now Imposed by many em ployers of labor. It Is also Intimated that employers now able to get In surance may tax the Increased coat In the rate against their employes. There was also talk yesterday of the submission tothe next Legislature of an employes' compensation act. not as a repeal of the Initiative liability law. but aa an adjunct to It. When this plan was suggested to Henry E. McOInn, who waa one of the strong advocates of the new employ ers' liability law, ha Instantly gave It his approval. Compensation Law Liked. "A proper compensation law would be a good thing," said Judge McGinn. "I am In favor of It. The English compensation law permits an Injured employe to accept tbe specified Indem nity or to resort to the common law to recover damagea. The aum of $3600, with all funeral expenses paid, wou.a look much better to the widow of an emplstye, who dies from Injuries re ceived at work, than wonld the un certainties of a law suit." The basis of an employe's Indemnity law Is a schedule of compensation or damagea that he will recelvs from his employer In the event of Injuries. What la said to be the first law of that character enacted In this country went Into effect In New York September 1. Like the new Oregon law, the New York law practically eliminates the doctrine of aasumptlon of risk and pre cludes the employer from defending on the ground that the employe was him self negligent or that the Injuries were due to the negligence of a fellow serv ant. Agreements Are Allowed. It provides, however, that employers may enter Into written agreements with their employes entitling Injured employes to half wagea during disabil ity and np to four years' wages In case of death not exceeding 13000, In lieu of all other rights of the employe to compensation, and Irrespective of the cause of the injury if It occurs- In the employment- The provisions mentioned In the last preceding paragraph are not Included in the Oregon law and slmlfkr provi sions. It is now suggested, may be added by the Legislature. Tbe Oregon employers' liability law. In addition to removing the defenses of contributory negligence and the neg ligence of a fellow servant, requires employers to provide numerous speci fied safeguards for employes, removes the present limitation of ITS00 on the amount of damages that may he re covered for personal injuries and ex tends to oertaln belrs a right not now held to recover in case of tha death of the- employe. The law also provides severe penalties. Including fine or Im prisonment, or both, for owners, con tractors, sub-contractors, foremen, ar chitects or other persons having charge of the' particular work for failure to aee that the safeguards apecifled in the act are not supplied or that the sirf visions of tha act ara complied with. Penalties Xot Feared. The opinion was expressed yesterday that the penalties for failure to comply with tha provisions of the act would probably not be burdensome on em ployers because of the Improbability that an attempt would be made to en force them except In extreme cases. The removal of the doctrine pf con tributory negligence on the part of tne Injured or fellow employe, coupled with the new Jury amendment, which per mits verdicts by three-fourths of the jury In civil actions. It la declared, will make a verdict for the Injured em ploye practically certain In all cases. Some believe that this fact will lessen the number of personal Injury suits actually brought to trial, on the theory that they will be settled out of court. Tbe day of the compromise verdict. It la generally felt. Is practically 'ended, and the general trend of verdicts In such cases will be toward much larger amounts than heretofore. PERSONALMENTION. John J.

Is almost positively Identified as one wh was seen hanging about the saloon sev eral days before the murders, and bears a general resemblance to the masked man who did the shooting. Myhre and his companion, Robert Leach, are still held on vagrancy charges, but the detectives have made no progress In connecting them with the crime.
