TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 25, 191i. 11 JUDGE EXCORIATES SCHOOL SWAY McGinn Argues That Embryo Attorneys Invade by Taking Courthouse Room. BENCH FELLOWS RAPPED Jurist Declares Occupants of Wool sack nT No Right to Bo Fao nltj Member for Extra Par. Library Is Fought. Aa smpbatlo demand that th Mult- nunta law library b allowed do spac In th nw Courthouse wu mad on t-! County CommlMlonfn yesterday by 'Irrult Court Judire McGinn tn a speech In which be declared the members of the profession consider themselves a privileged class, and In which ho made various uncomplimentary remarks about the law department of the University of Orecon and Its faculty, of which Judg Oantenbcln Is dean and Judc Morrow a member. The County Court wUl decide today, Commissioner Uchtner said, if a room Is to be riven the Library Association. Architect Whldden. of Whldden A Lewis, who are supervising the construction of the new Courthouse, baa reported to the Convnlsstoners that the only room which could be possibly turned over for the housing of the library has floor strena-tb sufficient for only from 100 to 40t books, whereas there are be tween 11.000 and 12.000 volumes In the library. Mr. Whldden has refused to listen to the suggestion that the balls and corridors of the new building be used for bookcases. Fee Law Censured. Judre McGinn commenced his talk to the Commissioners with a vehement at tack on the law which provides that liti gants must pay fees toward the support of the library when filing and answering; complaints. This Is the only piece of Socialistic legislation on oar statute books," he de clared. "It would have been declared unconstitutional three years ago bsd It redounded to the benefit of anyone other than the lawyers. We are making Utl rants pay for the education of lawyers. How lone would this special privilege last tf It were la favor of the carpenters or the painters? Every child who comes Into court to claim his patrimony most perforce par something; toward the sup port of this library, which Is of no earthly use to Elm. They say that It Is don largely In the Interest of the law school. 1 submit that this school Is not an lemosynary Institution. It pays and pays well. The bet that Circuit Jada-es are the head sf It doesn't alter the right or wrong. It Is a privet corporation which exacts tees and good fees. Discrimination Is Alleged. I am not blaming the young men. but I object to this school being known as the law school of the Circuit Court of Multnomah County. Would yoo give Portland Academy similar privileges T Its character la not changed because Circuit Judges are receiving large pay for tuition. "Too many lawyers la th Legislature have been reaJy to crook the knee to th Circuit Court Judge. Why. I could go before th people of th county on tnle proposition and there wouldn't be a gras spot left of the lawyers or th Circuit Court Judges." Judge McGinn her exhibited a pros pectus of th law department of th I nlverslty of Oregon and commented upon Its contents. "It says here that the only books th student requires are the 1 volumes of Bellinger Cotton's code, and that they are allowed the use of the Multnomah law library free of charge. Bookstore Is Advertised. "Th gentlemen who conduct this school also consider It necessary to ad vise the boy, where to buy these books. They say tfcy may be obtained from Ueorce A. Bateaon Co.. Buchanan buCdlng. Wondsr why they advertise tnls firm? Wonder how the J. K. GUI l.tKTipar.y and other book-selling con cerns like this? "I submit that this Jew school should rot be connected In any way with Mult nomah County. Th community Is not Interested In booming It because, for sooth, there are gentlemen of the Circuit I'ourt present and who are professors. We got along prevloua to when this law taxing litigants was passed, without this law library, and we ran get along w;thout it now. They submit that the courtr Is being benefited because the judges and the restrict Attorney are al lowed ti use th books, but most of th time w are unable to get books be csnse the bovs Tiave them. Section STS of Ixrd's Oregon laws says that Circuit Court Judges are to r-retve Um year from the state and no other compensation directly or Indi rectly except In the rase of certain populous counties, such aa Multnomah, where provision Is made that th county may pay additional. Judges Act Condemned. "A Judre can no more legally glv port of his time to his Judicial duties ami part to class instruction than he can art as a jud and practlc law at the same time. "As further proof of the fart that this law school is a paying Institution I rsad that first-rear students must pay !. Juniors IIS and seniors t'i and that thes fees are payable strict ly la advance. In addition there Is a fee of $10 for graduation. Last year tier were It Seniors. 41 Juniors and 7 freshmen. The total receipts on t:its basis wer ll.s;. "Too gentlemen represent th peo ple, of th whole county, not the legal profession. Let them take their library and law school elsewhere." Commissioner Llghtner said that on of committee of lawyers which had begged for space In the new building had admitted to Mm when "pinned "own" to a definite answer that th Commissioners should put the library ont of the Courthouse building. Judge Oeton suggested that th library be made publlo property, but Judge Mc Ginn was of the opinion that special legislation would be necessary. He pointed out that t,her Is already a publlo law llbray la th Capitol at Falem which has been paid for by pub lic taxation. Two Jurists la Faculty. Judg Gantenbeln Is dean of th law school and Judge Morrow Is a lec. t-jrsr. Other members of th faculty are William B. Gilbert. ex-County Judge North up. Martin L. Pipes. Fran els D. Chamberlala.

JuJg GaaunbaSa Mi4 yesterday 1 that last year he received at th rat I of 31 a lecture for delivering 40 leo tureB and that th others bsd received a similar amount a lectur for a small er number. In 10 th amount was 137 a lectur. but in years gone by. Judge Gantenbeln said, it was sometimes as low as II and tl a lectur. Th sys tem is to divide all th money received from students among the lecturers af ter expenses bav been paid. The ex penses amount to less than 30 per cent of th receipts. Lecture Given E New-hero. ."We are not holding onr lectures In th Courthouse but In the Chamber of Commerce building." said Judge Gan tenbeln. "and we pay tit a year for the us of the law library. We paid nothing formerly but a few years ago a rival law school demanded a similar right and then w arranged to pay $25 a term. Th other school has not seen fit to pay the fees. Over all the United States Circuit and Supreme Court Judges are deans and lecturers of law schools. Ex-Judge Clse ton explained to Judge McGinn that th policy of th County Court Is to allow th library room only If it oaa b spared conveniently and that th county does not propose to, nor can It legally incur any extra ex- pens in fitting a room. A little later Judge Cleeton mentioned that a room would probably be strengthened in th new wing. When asked If that would not be Incurring extra expense he said: "Well. I understand that th archi tect believes that It would be a good plan to bav on room strengthened anyway."

Brasen. th smallest man of th committee, want Into th sewer at th manhole near Delaware avenue and managed to crawl a distance of lot feet. according to th tap line he took with him. but he found th conduit clogged up with some lumber and th snag of a tree, water and soma gravel ana naa to turn back. He did not dlscovsr the inlet while working from this man hole, but did And that a lot of debris bad been left in th conduit that may glv trouble unless removed. Mr. Brasen then went into th sewer from the manhole near Burrage street, and mads a distance of too feet, but did not find th Inlet, although he said his light was somewhat indistinct and he might have passed It without seeing It. H did find mud and water and soma gravel. The investigation, however, did not satisfy the commute that th inlet Is not somewhere near th manholes entered by Mr. Brasen. and some fur ther investigation may be undertaken. The conduit Is II Inches high and runs across the isnd between th bluff and th river. It Is claimed by the property-owners assessed that the lots left out must eventually be drained through this conduit, and they want the prop erty included in th assessed area and bav asked th City Attorney whether this can be done. Charles E. Bteelsmlth. who was ap pointed chairman of the committee to ascertain the cost of employing an at torney and an expert civil engineer to Investigate th Riverside sewer, ex pressed th opinion yesterday that there is nothing wrong with th sewer.

JTor by all d-al-ra. ee Many Ehriners who met at th annual convontlon In Rochester, N. Y., two weeks ago were determined to gather In Portland next year, and when the Portland delegates told them that they bad pledged their support to Los An geles, insisted that this city be selected as th meeting plac at th earliest possible opportunity. "Th fact of th matter Is that Port land can bav th Shrlnors convention whenever she wants It," declared A. H. Lee. chairman of the local Ehriners' transportation committee, on th recent trip to Rochester, on his return to Port land yesterday. "Everyone everywhere had beard of Portland and of th wonderful advan tages w have here." he continued, "and thousands of parsons Inquired about th city and state. Many ar deter mined to com here to remain perma nently, and nearly all the rest want to come to visit a while, anyway. Portland Is Cheered. "Portland had all th bast of it in the parades. In th exhibition drills and In th social functiona Al Kader Temple carried a huge banner, bearing 'Port land. Oregon.' In large letters. Aa soon as th people caught a Blimps of It they started cheering. As we passed along th streets the spplausa was tu multuous. Th cheering continued un til long after we had passed by. No other city received such recognition. "Although no banners were awarded In th exhibition drills. It Is certain that Portland would bav received first prix. We drilled in competition with nearly 100 other patrols and received greater applause than any of th oth ers. As our patrol left tn xieia cap tain William Davis was showered with rose; a tribute won by no other leader." ' The trip from Portland to Rochester on board a special train over the Cana dian Pacific was on long triumphal lourney. When the train arrived at Seattle on th morning following its de parture from Portland, they were met by Shrinsrs and taken on an automo bile rid after breakfasting at one oz th leading hotels. At Vancouver. B. C. they were entertained similarly. At Olacler tbey wer sidetracked and al lowed to see th sights. A delegation of Shriners met them at Banff and es corted them to the principal points of interest. In th venlng of their stay there th hot springs were closed to th general publlo that the Portland xcurslonists might enjoy the sport of bathing alone. A ball was arranged In tholr honor at the Canadian Paolflo Hotel. Calgary Ha Yankee Day. They passed th Fourth of July at Calgary. Th people there made It "American day" and displayed United State flags In profusion. They were taken to the exposition In progress at Calgary, and in the evening wero the honor guests at a ball tendered cy nromlnont citlsena In return for thes compliments the portisna patrol arnica In front of th grandstand at tn ex- noaltlon. On leaving Calgary the trav elers wero agreeably surprised to find the bsggag car filled with "refresh ments" of local manufacture, tne com pliments of Calgary business men. The women in the party were not xorgoiien. They received numerous boxes or canay Betweon Calgary and w innipeg tne Canadian Paciflo showed Its Shrlner Patrons how faat it can operate Its trains and covered a part of this dls lues at th rat of 71 miles an hour. Fifty mils west of Winnipeg a dole attnn of Shriners boarded the train and outlined th plan of entertainment that had been prepared upon their ar rival at Winnipeg. Her tbey were feted once more and wer driven through th residence streets and the suburbs. Mr. Lee declares Winnipeg Is th most beautiful city he has ever aaen. At Fort William they boarded a Lake Superior boat and spent two days on the water, passing through the Soo locks on the American side, and land ing at Owen bound, on Lake Ontario, They remained for a day at Toronto, the guests of the Shriners of that city. then continued their enjoyment at ni agara Falls and Buffalo befor going to Rochester. Women Ride Engine Pilot. An Inoldent of th Journey was th XDerlence of Mrs. A. H. Lee and Mrs. Walter Holman. Portland women, who rod for tOarotle on th pilot of th en gine while the train waa passing ihrnueh the Rocky Mountains. Julius Bailey, on of th Portland men. was "married" on the way to the daughter of Sheriff Armstrong, of Van couver, B. C, who traveled with the Orea-on crowd. Bert Farrell performed the mock ceremony, thereby gaining th title of "Deaoon." which clung to him on th trip. Professor Robert Krohn provided much fun by organis ing the men into a prison squad and marching them to meals in lockstep. "Portland virtually took th conven tion by storm." said Mr. Lee. "Ours was the most conspicuous organisation there. Had we not promised our sup port to Los Angeles we could hav en tered th fight for th next convention and won. We will wslt for a few years. It Is probable that we will ask for It in 11S." Others who returned yesterday were C. F. Wlegand. Dr. Newcaatle and wife. Lew Carpenter, William Davis and Oeorge Robertson. Remaining mem bers of th Portland contingent will come straggling home between now and th last of October. WATER SUPPLY DWINDLES Haste In Completion of Xew Pipe line XTrged to Avert Famine.
