Grants Pass Expels "Chinks"
Grants Pass, Or. May 5. The ap
pearance Wednesday of a trainload of
Chinese laborers who had been brought
in by the O. R. & X. Co. for work on
the railroad caused considerable stir
among certain citizens, and in the after
noon a mass meeting was held which
was attended by 150 people, although
no notice of a meeting was given out.
It was in every sense an anti-Chinese
meeting, and the common sentiment
was that the Chinese must go. Notice

Fairbanks For Vice-President
New York, May 0. The World to
day quotes Senator Thomas C. Piatt as
saying:
"In Washington the feeling among
the Republican leaders is that Senator
Fairbanks is to be nominated for Vice
President. It is practically settled.
The only man who has not agreed to it
is Senator Fairbanks, but he will ac
cept and make a strong candidate. He
is a very reluctant candidate; yea, an
unwilling aspirant, but he will yield to
the pressure for his nomination."
Bancroft Under Fire.
Washington, May 6. Postmaster
General Payne has ordered an investi
gation of the Portland postoftice as the
result of a second inquiry into the of
ficial conduct of Postmaster Bancroft.
The report of the inspectors shows that
notwithstanding previous warning,
Postmaster Bancroft Insisted upon
withdrawing money from the various
accounts which are left in his care in
direct violation of the regulations of
the department. Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-General Bristow, who has
immediate charge of these matters, de
clares the conduct of the Portland
office Is anything but satisfactory, and
if left to him he will insist upon the
appointment of a successor to Bancroft,

Governor Espouses Cause of
Warner Valley Settlers.
STATE WILL BRING SUIT
Though in Minority on Land Board
Chamberlain Orders Atty.
Gcn. to Act.
Salkm, Or., May C "Who enters
here leaves hope behind," Is the motto
which Governor Chamberlain says the
ordinary citizen sees over tho door of
the Department of the Interior at Wash
ington. This sentiment was expressed
in a letter which Governor Chamber
lain wrote to Attorney-General Craw
ford directing the latter to bring a suit
in the name of the state against the
Warner Valley Livestock Company to
cancel the state deeds by which that
company holds 5000 acres of land
claimed by Warner Valley settlers.
The settlers have at last won their
point and their common interests will
be espoused by the state. Attorney
General Crawford said this evening
that he will bring the suit as requested.
The members of the State Land Board
could not agree as to the authority of
the board to bring a suit. The settlers
asked the board to order the suit com
menced. After considering the petition
a decision was written adverse to the
request, but Governor Chamberlain
dissented and placed in the records a
protest in which he expressed the opin
ion that the board should order suit
brought.
Secretary of State Dunbar and Treas
urer Moore took the position that there
is no law authorizing the board to take
such action, but that there is a law em
powering the Attorney-General or a
District Attorney to bring suit, and
that a suit brought In that manner sev
eral years ago, was upheld by the Su
preme Court.
Governor Chamberlain, being In the
minority, could not control the action
of the board and decided to "go it
alone."
In a letter to Attorney General Craw
ford, expressing his views of the matter,
Governor Chamberlain says In part:
."1 feel that the settlers on the lands
In controversy have a right to have
their cause heard, tried and determined

finds written the motto which is In

these men are beaten in one of the
courts of our state, tho controversy
will be eudcd;otherwise, In my opinion,
there will always lurk in tho minds of
many of the citizens of this stute the
suspicion that they have not obtained a
fair and an impartial hearing of their
cause."

RIGHTS OF CREDITORS
Vital Point Involved Regarding
of Shoe Stock.
Sale
Portland, May 6. "Does tho law
regarding the purchase and sale of
goods in bulk, which requires five days'
notice to be given to the creditors of
the seller before the sale is consum
mated, cover chattel mortgages?" Judge
George is called upon to decide this
question in the suit of Moore-Scbafer
Shoe Manufacturing Company et al vs.
Moses Billings, Charles 13. Andrew and
Goddard-Kelly Shoe Company, and the
court will also bavo to pass generally
upon the validity of the statute and its
intent.
Billings conducted a retail shoe store
on Morrison street and purchased a
stock from eastern shoe Grins which, the
complaint in this suit states, amounted
to over $7000. billings executed achat
telmortgageon the stock to Mr.Andrew,
and, he failing to pay it when due, An
drew over a year ago sold the stock to
the Goddard-Kelly Shoe Company, after
having first taken possession. Blllln gs
was attachod by various creditors, and
to relieve himself of his liabilities he
(llccl, a petition in bankruptcy.
An act passed by tbe legislature in
1901 to prevent sales of goods, wares
and merchandise in fraud of creditors
states that intending purchasers of
stocks of gooth) In bulk shall obtain a
list of tbe creditors from the vendor,
and notify the creditors of the Intended
transfer before it can be accomplished,
otherwise it shall be conclusively pre
sumed fraudulent and void. In the
present case counsel for the defendants
argued that the law does not apply to
chattel mortgager and also that the
plaintiffs slept on their rights, If they
have any, by allowing a year to pass
before bringing suit. Further that, if
Billings committed any illegal act, his
trustee in bankruptcy should proceed
in the matter.
(In regard to the foregoing we learn
that Hon. C. A. Sehlbrede, formerly of
this city, Is one of the attorneys for the
Moore-Schafer Shoe Mfg. Co., the
plaintiffs in the case, and has charge of
the case, having prepared the complaint.
The defendants demurred to the
complaint, on tbe grounds that the com
plaint does not state facta sufficient to
constitute a cause of suit; 2nd, that the
plaintiff has no capacity to sue, the de
fendant, Billings, having been declared
a bankrupt, the only person who has
any right to sue to recover in any case.
Is the trustee hi bankruptcy.
The demurrer was arggned by Judge
W. D. Fen ton for the defense, and
Judge Sehlbrede for the plaintiff.
Under the demurrer, the defense
claims, first, that in no event nor under
any condition can a chattel mortgage
oe Drougni unoer me provisions oi me
act relating to sales In bulk; second,
that the law is unconstitutional as being
in restraint of trade, ami third, that
the defendant creditor Billings having
gone into bankruptcy, the trustee in
bankruptcy is the only one who has tho
right, if any right exists, to prosecute
this case.
, In behalf of the complaint It is claimed,
that if the effect of a conveyance on Its
face purporting to be a chattel tnort-
trace. s me same as a mil or snie. in
defeating creditors out of the means of
recovering their just debts, the courts
will look to this result to determine
whether the instrument should be
brought under the act. That the fraud
u'ent transfer of property, for the pur
pose of defeating creditors, passes all of
the title of the selling debtor to the
property as between the suller and
buyer, and as the trustee in bankruptcy
represents both ihn bankrupt and the
creditors In the gathering and distribu
tion of the debtors property, he takes
within? that the debtor could not take
If he had not gone into bankruptcy, and
In that rase, only tho creditor can pur
sue such fraudulently transferred prop
erty. The esse is of much interest, and the
argument occupied a full half day, and

be concluded breach side filing written
briefs. Judge Sehibredo Is now associ
ated with Krnrnons A' Kmrnons, the

The distracting headaches from which
