THE SUNDAY OftEGOKIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 5, 1905. LOCAL ACTS EXEMPT Referendum Does Not Apply to City Charter Bills. STATE IS NOT AFFECTED boy who, with two young conpanions.

Young Rummage himself burst out crying as tho sen tence was pronounced. Isitt was con sidered equally guilty by the court, and In spite of strong opposition hy msat- torncy received a like sentence. The Williams boy was released with a lec ture. Both of the older boys have beon in the Reform School before. They left for Chehalis tonight. U'Ren Draws Bill Which Allows City to Vote Ordinances Pessed by tne Council, and Also to Initiate Measures. SALEM, Or., Feb. 4. (Special.) That the initiative and referendum amendment to the constitution does not apply to local acts of the Legislature Is the con clusion Governor Chamberlain has reachodr-ifter giving the subject ex haustive study, and W. S. U'Ren, father of tho amendment. Is of tho same opin ion. This means that if the Legislature passes an objectionable charter bill or other measure affecting less than the whole state, the people of the state can not demand the referendum upon it The reason for this construction is that tfiere Is nothing in the amendment bearing particularly upon the subject, and It would not be right to permit peo ple who are In no way Interested to demand the referendum upon a local measure. For example, if a bill should be passed, amending the charter of the city of Corvallls, it would not be proper to permit the people of Portland and other towns to ask that the bill be re ferred to the people in such a manner that all the people of -the state could vote upon It. In view of this construction of the con stitution, Mr. U'Ren lias prepared a bill for a local Initiative and referendum law. The bill provides that when any local bill has been passed by the Legislature, the referendum may be demanded within 90 days by a petition signed by 5 per cent of the legal voters of the territory af fected by the law. When the referendum has been thus demanded, the local law Bhall not take effect unless it receives the approval of a majority of those vot ing upon It at the next election, when it Js to be submitted. Local Referendum 'Also. The U'Ren bill goes further than this, and proposes a law that will hardly be favored by city councils which have "Unbounded faith In their own lntetrritv and wisdom. The other provision in the bill Is that 15 per cent of the voters of any town mav, propose an ordinance by Initiative, and If the measure nrnnnspri in this manner shall receive a majority vote at the election, it shall be a valid ordinance of the city. ! In addition to this, 10 per cent of he voters of the city mav demand the refer endum UDOn anv ordinance that mav Ytn passed by tho City Council, and. then It snail not go into effect unless approved Dy a majority vote at the election. Tho bill, it is understood, will he Intrn duced in the Senate some dav th!s weefc presumably bv Brownell. who has alwavs stood as an advocate of placing more power in .tne hands of the people. OUST AMERICAN FISHERS. Canada May Claim Exclusive Right to Hecate Strait.- vAivouuviiK. is. (j., xcb. 4. As a result of representations bv Rrltlsh On lumbla members of the House of Com mons, the Dominion government is ex pected to institute an inquiry to -determine whether Canada has any jurls- cictlon over certain semi-enclosed waters along the British Columbia coast. While not admitting that it "has no jurisdiction over the waters of He cate Strait, whicli lies between the Queen Charlotte Islands and the main lanO of British Columbia, the irovern- ment has never .taken steps to assert us jurisdiction over the whole of these waters. It is witlKreference to Hecate Strait In particular that the question of jur isdiction has arisen. It is claimed that as the waters lie within the British Columbia coast line they are properly Canadian waters and that foreign fish ing vessels operating in those waters are poaching. Up to the present time the government has confined its -furl. diction to the three-mile limit. Protests against American craft fishing on the banks in the middle of Hecate Strait nave reached the Department of Ma rine and Fisheries,. and it is asked that steps be taken to oust the intruders. Until the government has determined that its jurisdiction Is good, no action will probably be taken. CALIFORNIA WILL HELP. Bill Affecting Klamath Irrigation Dis trict Is a Law. SACRAMENTO. CaL, Feb. 4. Two Sen ate bills became laws today upon being signed by the Governor. One was the Coggins bill, permitting the lowering of tne water levels of certain lakes in th northern part of the state in furtherance of Irrigation and reclamation work of the reclamation service of the United States. A similar bill has recently been enacted by the Oregon Legislature, and Important legislation by Congress bearing on the work In question has been held in abey ance pending tho action of the California Legislature. Under the authorization now given by the California and Oregon Legislatures, It is understood that $4,000,000 will bo ex pended by the Federal Government on reclamation of the Klamath district, in Northern California and Southern Ore gon, and that 200,000 acres in California and 100.000 in Oregon will be placed under irrigation. The other bill signed by the Governor Is the bill appropriating 570.000 for a Call fornia exhibit at tho Lewis and Clark Exposition. The last Legislature appro priated 525.000, so that $93,000 Is now made available for the exhibit CORRALED BY YAQUIS. "Jim" War&ncr, Well-Known Mining Man, Asks for Protection. SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 4. J. I. Wardner, a mining man noted in every camp-on tlie Paciflc Coast, writes to. th Spokesman-Review under date of Jan uary 30 that the hostile Y.iquI Indians nave himselOmd 200 other Americans corraled at La Colorado. State of Son'o ra, Mexico, and that he has appealed to Senator Dubois, of Idaho, for pro lection. Mr. Wardner was en route to his quicksilver mines when hemmed in by tne l-aquis. He says tho Mexican com mander has offered the Americans guard of Mexican troops, but the Amer leans have no confidence in the ability of a small guard to protect them against 2000 hostile Indian?. Mr. Ward nor says it is common belief in that section that President Roosevelt has sent a telegram to President Diaz, de daring that if Mexico cannot proteot Americans In that country, the United States will. SENTENCED AMID TEARS. Young Robber Goes to Reform School and Mother Weeps. WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Feb. 4 (SpeoiaL) In the presence- of- his weeping-mother, MclvinRummage, the LOCAL-OPTION CASE FAILS. Judge McBrlde Orders a "Not Guilty" Verdict From Jury. ASTORIA. Or., Feb. .-Special.) The case -against John Hendrickson, who was on trial iefore a Jury on an information charging with selling liquor In Astoria Precinct No. 1 in violation of the local option law, came to a sudden end In the Circuit Court this afternoon when -Judge McBrlde practically threw the case out of court by directing the jury to return a verdict of "not guilty" on account of a defect In the order made by the County Court as shown by the records. There was no denial of the allegation that the defendant had sold liquor since January 1, when prohibition was alleged to have gone into effect, the whole defense being based on irregularities ln'ihe pro ceedings connected with the election. The case attracted a great deal of attention locally, as this was the first attempt in Clatsop County to enforce the local op tion law; and the courtroom was filled. with citizens from the precinct affected, by a delegation of members of the W. C. T. U. and of the Astoria Ministerial Asso ciation. On the opening of the case the defense asked that it be dismissed on the ground that the petition for an election did not describe the precinct by metes and bounds. merely describing it as "Astoria Precinct, No. V but the request was denied. Dis trict Attorney Allen then attempted to introduce the petition, the notice of elec tion and the order of the County Court declaring that prohibition has carried, as evidence, but the defense objected, claim ing the order was defective, and the ob jection was .sustained. It appears that the County Court some time ago asked the District Attorney for an opinion as to the character of the order It should make declaring that prohibition had car ried in that precinct, and that no liquor should be sold there after January 1. The attorneyubmltted a written oplnloiTwlth the order attached. This the court or dered entered on the journal and signed The defense contended this was not an order, and Judge McBrlde sustained the contention. . The Districts-Attorney then called County Clerk Clinton to the stand and attempted to show that the County Court Intended to make the order, and If the journal did not show that fact, y. s an error. Judge McBrlde sustained an objection to this, saying it Is not a question of the Intention of the County Court, but simply what the record shows. Continuing, he said: "The local option law distinctly specifies that the County Court must make and entor an order declaring the result of an election on prohibition, but the records In this case do not show that any such order was eyer made. The journal entry contains the recommenda tion of the District Attorney as to what order ought to be made, but nothing more. Did the records show that the court had adopted the attorney s recom mendatlon, there might be something to indicate the intention of the court, but now there Is nothing more than a mere recording of the attorney's" opinion with out any evidence that the court acted upon it." Turning to the jury, the court said "As there is no order of the County 'Court showing the result of the election, there fore as a matter of law I Instruct you to return a verdict of not guilty." NORTHWEST DEAD. Charles S. Crater. M'MINNVILLE. Or., Feb. 4. (Spe clal.) Charles Sidney Crater, who died at his home in this city yesterday, was well known throughout the state, espe dally among railroad men.

The main buildings of the university at Buchanan burned today. Loss. $50,000. A panic re sulted among the 400 students, and sev eral were compelled to jump from the third-floor window into a net. Two were hurt. PERIL IN THE HAND-SHAKE. Not long ago Dr. T. N. Hirsch, of Chicago, said: "The most delicate perfume upon the hands is not a sign of freedom from germs, and the most refined are not free from dis ease of lungs or throat, and the germs are rapidly spread by touching the hand that has handled the handkerchief of one afflict ed with a cold, catarrh or consumption. The breath one inhales from the lungs of another may contain genns of disease." You will not only be able to resist the germs of consumption, but many thousands of cases have been known where persons who were Buffering from incipient phthisis, or the carjy stages of consumption were absolutely cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It maintains a person's nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and assimilate food. It overcomes the gastric irritability and symptoms of indigestion, and thus the person is saved from those symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache, etc., which are so common. An alterative extract like Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made of roots and herbs, without the use of alcohol, will assist the stomach in assimilating or taking up from the food such elements as are required for the blood, will assist the liver in throwing off the poisons in the system. Do not permit some designing druggist to insult pur intelligence by offering you a remedy which he claims is "just as good " because he made it up himself, or ten chances, to one you will get a medicine made up largely of alcohol, which will only weaken the system. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is heartly recommended by every person who has ever used it and it has stood the test of thirty-eight years of approval from people all over the United States.

Y. - Dr. PtaM' Pellets cure Mil Men Escape With Burned Clothes, but Smoking Cavity in Earth and Lone Leg Attests Ani mals Sad End. KENNEWICK. Wash., Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) John C Evans, accompanied by two friends from the East, broke all North west records for sprinting yesterday in an effort to get away from a dog which was carrying a stick of dynamite with a light ed fuse attached. They got far enough ahead of the dog to miss any serious re- suits when the explosion came, but they wore thrown prostrate by the concussion and suffered many severe bruises. Evans, wishing to entertain his friends, took them to a deep hole in the Columbia River to fish with dynamite. Evans -was accompanied by a fine bird dog. When Evans lighted the fuse attached to the stick of dynamite and threw the missile In the water, the dog immediately jumped In after It. Evans and his friends saw the danger of the dog and yelled for him to come back. This the dog did, ,but with the explosive In his mouth. The men ran, but the dog had no trouble In keeping up, and refused to drop the explosive. Evans said they broke all records In trying to get away. and kept scolding the dog to discourage further pursuit. They only ran about 100 feet when the explosion came. The concussion threw the three men to the earth, jarred them con siderably ana burned the clothing on their backs. There was nothing to mark the place where the dog had been but one hind leg. and a hole in the ground. NEW INCORPORATIONS. Domestic and Foreign Companies File Articles. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 4. (Special.)

The police learned that Wood got back to Plalnfleld on Wednesday, and left I Thursday morning, as they claim, for Watchung, not far from where the crime occurred. Mrs. Wood is said to naVe stated that her husband returned to this city at 530" P. 31. with his valise and wearing a, new cap. Two hours later ho went out again, saying he had an appointment with his friend Mack. He did not return until 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, and then dis claimed all knowledge- of having been there the day before. Questioned About Williams, tho mur dered groceryman, Wood declared repeat edly that he had never heard of him, and repeated again and again that he could notundcrstand the affair at all. This afternoon Wood was arraigned In Police Court and held without ball to await the arrival of extradition papers from New Jersey. The authorities today believed they had found a motive for the murder of Williams, which apparently had been lacking. It was ascertained that he had $200 In his pocket when he started on the ride with the stranger, and when his body was found there was only $7 In his clothing. CHARGED WITH FORGERY. Officials of Chicago Tunnel Company Say It Is Blackmail Scheme. T CHICAGO, Feb. 4. Albert G. Wheel er, president of the Illinois Tunnel Company, Former City Clerk William Loeffler and Assistant City Clerk Ed ward Erhorn were indicted today by tne grand jury on a charge of forgery in connection with the franchise for the underground railroad system in this city. Alderman. Edward Novak and John HIgglns, a printer, were in dicted in the same connection on charges of. perjury as well as forgery. The indictments embrace, it is said, the nlstory of the granting of the tunnel ordinance by the city. The charge of forgery Is based on the al leged changing of a Council report as to the sjze of the tunnels, and the ac cusations of perjury grow out of tes timony given at a preliminary hear ing In a Justice Court some time ago. After the Indictments were returned. Levy Mayer, counsel for Mr. Wheel er said: "This matter Is five years old. As the result of Mr. Wheeler's refusal to submit to being -blackmailed by a dis charged attorney he is indicted. Once in 1902 and twice in 1934 the attorney made a similar charge before different justices of the Peace, and in each in stance the charge was thrown out of court. The report of the testimony taken at one of the hearings showed that the attorney swore he (the attorney) caused a change to be made in the ' Council proceedings, and that he knew it was criminal,, and that f he had been paid the money which he from time to time endeavored to extort from Mr. Wheeler, he would have not Instituted the prosecution." Mr. Wheeler promptly furnished bonds of $5000. HUGS THE CHOEUS GIRLS. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL ; WEAR THIS SEASON-ASK BEN SELLING ABOUT IT Wood Cannot Remember Events of Time of PlainfleldMurder. NEW YORK, Feb. 4. George H. Wood. an iron structural contractor, who has been arrested In connection with the mys terious murder of Groceryman George Williams, of Plalnfleld, N. J., has been Identified by tho Plalnfleld officers as the man for whm they have been search' lng. Wood Is a grandson of the French man, Pollock, to whose home Williams was driving the well-rvssed stranger when he was murdered. A physician who examined Wood be fore ho was given over to the police last night, said that while there were certain symptoms suggestive of aphasia about wooa, it wouia require a long ana care ful examination before the fact that Wood was suffering, from any mental dis ease could be established. Wood, when treated by the physician, said at first that he could read the headline of a newspa per put before him. Later he read the words with some difficulty. He could write Ills name without difficulty. Until .recently Wood was engaged with a man named Stevenson in taking con tracts for putting up flre-escapes and do ing other Ironwork In this city. Business troubles are said to have placed him In need of money, as he stated in the story of his movements since the day of the murder. Newspaper reporters traced Wood to the homo of his wife's brothor. In Twenty-seventh street. The detective bureau was notified, but took no action, and finally a patrol wagon from the nearest station was called, which carried Wood, his wife and her brother to headquarters, where Wood is detained. Wood repeated his story to the effect that his rblnd had been a blank since Monday, when he left here with a civil engineer named Mack, who was to pro cure a loan from his father to assist In Wood's business. He said they left the train near Trenton and drank some beer. He remembered nothing afterward until Wednesday, when he found himself In Trenton with only $1. He started to walk toward New York. "Then came another blank in my mem ory," he said, "and although I have a faint recollection of having stayed Thurs day night In Elizabeth, N. J., and of hav ing gone about among tho Iron works In Jersey City Friday morning, looking for work, nothing that I did before T reached 'my brother-in-law's flat "at 2 o'clock Fri day afternoon Is clear to me." In answer to questions, he denied that ho had any recollection of having visited Plalnfleld or having stopped at a hotel there. He asserted that he had abso lutely no remembrance of having called on any of his relatives In the neighbor hood of Plalnfleld. According to tho Plalnfleld police, Wood had been there and engaged a room, -and made no at tempt to conceal his Identity. To the proprietor who had kqown his father. Wood said he had come to look for some bridge contracts. After- visit ing Mrs. Hollack, his grandmother, Tues day afternoon, Wood crossed the road to the home of .his father-in-law, G. E. Whlt ton. Speaking of Wood's visit, the lat ter said: "I hadn't seen him in seven years. We were in business together after he mar ried my daughter. He came close to fail ing, and since then wc haven't got along together. "Wood told mo that he had come to set tle up our differences. He promised me a good job in New; York,, if I would' for- Bear Starts Panic at Rehearsal in New York Theater. NEW YORK. Feb. 4. Escaping from a room In the new Colonial Theater, a bear early today during a rehearsal preparatory to the opening of the the ater tonight rushed on the stage, at tacked several of the performers, and before he was overcome had so severe ly bitten and clawed several of them that they had to be taken to their homes! Mlsa L-Ibby Blondell and Junie Mc Cree were the "most severely injured. As the bear rushed- on to the stage he struck Miss Blondell and knocked her down. When she fell the bear rolled over her. and, enra"ged by her screams and attempts to free herself, struck out savagely at her. McCree seized the brute and tried to drag it away from the actress, but his strength was not sufficient, and he, too, was bitten and deep gashes cut In his arms and legs by the bear's claws. So terrified were the chorus girls on the stage that many of them leaped over the footlights into the orchestra. Stage hands and men of the company secured ropes and finally made a pris oner of tho bear. Tho bear was to be used In a wrest ling match, and was thought to be safely in a cage while the rehearsal was in progress. Owing to the inju ries sustained by the principal mem bers of the company the theater will not be' ppened until next week. "WBECKED BY BOILER EXPLOSION New York Central Train Hit by Boiler With Fatal Results. UTICA. N. Y., Feb. 4. Two trainmen lost their lives and a score or more passengers were injured In a wreck on the New York Central railroad at Whltesboro, three miles west of here, at an early hour today. None of the injured were dangerously hurt, their wounds being mainly cuts and bruises. The dead are: John Allen, engineer, and John Brennan, fireman of the lo comotive on toe Western Expressr As it was passing the Buffalo spe cial, eastbound, the boiler of the locomotive of the westbound train THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purli.er In nature; but few realize its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take oWi the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in tho stomach and bowels: It disinfects tho mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best char coal and. the most for the money Is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey. The -ally use of these lozenges will soon, ten. In a mucn Improved condition of the general health, better complexion. 3wccter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is. tha no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on tho contrary great benefit A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: "I advise Stu art's Charct Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and puri fy the brcth, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cerits a box .at drug stores. and although In some sense a patent prep aration, yet I believe I get moro and bet ter charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Loz enges,, than Inany of the, ordinary char coal taoieis.;.

The force of the explosion and the upheaval of the engine threw the entire 13 cars composing the ''spe cial" from the rails. The westbound train did not leave the track, but stopped with a suddenness and shock which threw the occupants of the berths backward with great force. While many passengers of the east bound sleeping-cars wcro found cut and bruised, no one was killed. State Supreme Court Justice Warren B. ooffer, of Fredonia, was severely uised. Others injured Included the follow lng: Walter L. Brown and William J. Robinson, of Buffalo, and Robert Wella and Sidney J. West, of New York, bruised and cut, not seriously; Dr. Welsh, of New York, scalp wounds and suffering severely from shock; Mrs. Bell, of Buffalo, wife of Superintend ent of Pullman Car Company, arm broken and other Injuries; not danger ous. From the fact that Fireman Bren nan was instantly killed and that En gineer Allen lived but a few minutes, the cause of the explosion probably will never be known. The strangest feature of the acci dent was that, after the explosion, the boiler of the westbound locomotive was resting midway between the rails of the eastbound track at a point where the Eastern train had passed. This sug gested the theory to trainmen that the boiler had struck the second car of the eastbound train as It rushed by at the rate of 50 miles an hour, the blow causing all the following .cars to be hurled from the track. o First Showing of New Spring Goods Already we are showing a number of new things f orSpring. - The very latest creations in Spring Jackets, Silk Shirtwiast Suits and Shirtwaists all new and just in, and the first her.e Monday gets first choice.
