Phone, Red 1741 i , 4 COMBS, NEW, THE FINEST EVER WASH COLLARSWHITE TIES MIDSUMMER MILLIVERY I wo cases of . unusual Importance were' up for consideration In the cir cuit court yesterday afternoon and al most the entire afternoon was taken up with, arguments upon demurrers, says the Pendleton Eaat Oregonlun of Friday. . One of the cases Is the criminal ac tion brought against M. J. Buckley and other officials of the O. R. & N. company for alleged violation of the 14-hour law while the other case was that of Murtin, et al vs. the O. H. & N. company, an action which Involves the reciprocal demurrage provision of the present Oregon railroad law. At the conclusion of th nrrnmont Judge Bean took the cases under ad visement and he will not likely pass upon either one until fall. Say State Law Was Void. In the case against the railroad of ficials the contention of the defense was that Oregon's 14-hour law was void at the time the violation occurred because congress had already passed a law upon the subject. The state law was passed In Feb ruary, 1907, and in March of that year the national law was passed. However, the federal law did not go Into effect for a year an4 during that time the alleged offense, occurred. In arguing the case yesterday, At torney Spencer, for the railroad com pany, held that even If the federal law had not yet come Into force the state law was void anyway..' because the national congress had passed leg islation on the subject. In reply District Attorney Phelps contended that the state law was ef fective until the federal law- went Into force. In support of this stand he urged that If such were not the case congress could nullify state legislation at any tlmo by passing laws upon the same, subject, with provisions that the national laws would nut go Into effect for one, five or more years. The Demurrage Cii.-e. The' Martin demurrage case was brought by KreewntT-MIItcin people to collect I031K.50 tlamnges because the nillroud company fall-d to provide refrigerator cars for fruit shipment at the time wanted. I'ml. r the pro visions of the present Oregon railroad law chli'pers nr.- jjlvcn the rinht to collect demurrage from conutioii car riers. The demurrage cn.-ie a also ar gued by Attorney Spencer an. I in- held. In support of his iiomuriei, that the (lemunaKe feature- of the Oregon law conflicts with the Hepburn law, passed by concuss In June, 130G. The defi ndontu In the case were represented by Attorney Charles M. Kabn of lluise. HMt Ita'fsnv Irlilny. At 3 o'clock Friday afternoon the theriiioini ter h tt-t. residence 'of H.
