12 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN. "WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1903. REVERSED ITS DECISIONS BCPBEMB COURT HOLDS XEW OPIX JO.V IS ASSnSSMEXT CASE. ptrcvlt Court Jbcu Thong; lit They Were Following1 Superior Trl hanal, bnt Were 5Ustak.cn. The Supreme Court U said to have re parsed Its former a eels Ions, when It de cided Monday In the suit of the Ore con Real Estate Company against the City of Portland that "the curative act contained In the Portland charter for 1SSS does not authorize the collection of a street as sessment made under the charter of 1833. where the owners of a majority of the property affected remonstrated against the improvement and the Council disre garded the remonstrance." This Is the opinion expressed by Judge George, who states, that the Judges of the Btate Circuit Court In holding that the city could recover from the Orccdh .Real Estate Company, followed the decision of the Supreme Court In the Xottage and Thomas cases. The Oregon Real Estate Company filed a remonstrance against the rebuilding of a bridge in 1KT7 across a gulch on the East Bide, the cost of which Improvement was several thousand dollars, and the Council did the work notwithstanding the remon strance. The Supreme Court, in passing upon the case, said: "A. refusal of the Common Council to consider a remonstrance is not in any sense a defect in the mode by which It may acquire Jurisdiction, but Is rather a denial of the right to remonstrate, or of the remedy accorded him for defeating the assessment." In the JCottage case, also construing the Curative act, the Supreme Court said: "In the absence of a constitutional re striction a Legislature may validate taxa tion or assessment proceedings which have been carried on in a way not provided by law, but in a way that might have been originally adopted, and may also retro spectively declare Immaterial statutory requirements that might have been dis pensed with in the first Instance. "It is within the power of the Legisla ture to cure proceedings for a street Im provement that are void because based on a petition that did not have the requisite number of signers, for. If the Legislature hhd chosen. It could have provided for making the Improvement without any petition whatever." In the Kottage case the petition for the Improvement did not have the requisite number of signers, and in the Oregon Real Estate Company case a remonstrance was Ignored by the Council. Judge George does not see why the language of the Supreme Court just quot ed does not fit one case Just as much as the other. The Supreme Court In the Nottage case. In further passing upon the curative act. held as follows: "A section of the city charter which provides that If any assessment for street Improvements theretofore or thereafter made In such city shall be found or de clared Invalid for any reason whatever, the city shall have power to bring actions against the owners of the land charged with the Improvement for their respective shares of the expense of the work. Is not unconstitutional or a usurpation of Judi cial authority, but Is a validating act. though it docs not use any of the words ratify, confirm or validate." The language Is here, used, "If any street assessment Is declared Invalid for any rea son whatever, the city can suo to re cover." Judge George and his colleagues. In de ciding the Oregon Real Estate Company case, concluded that, "any reason what ever" would Include the ignoring of a remonstrance, but the Supreme Court has held to the contrary. In the Etat Circuit Court it was decid ed that the assessment was invalid, but was cured by the curative act, but the Supreme Court says, "No." The Supreme Court. In the case of Thomas against the City of Portland, likewise Involving a construction of the curative act, said: "A decree declaring void an assessment for a public improve ment is not a bar to a subsequent action by the municipality to collect the cost of tho work from the property benefited. Section 156 of the Portland charter of 1S3S. providing that. If on the completion of any street improvement, when the cost thereof is declared by a Common Council to be a charge on the adjacent property, any assessments levied to defray the cost thereof Is adjudged to be Invalid, the city may bring actions against the owners of abutting property, on which the cost of the Improvement might be charged, to re cover the cost of the improvement, was not Intended to, and docs not in and of Itself cure or confirm defective assess ments, but was Intended to afford a new remedy for the enforcement of assess ments that have been judicially declared void, and only suth are effected." The State Circuit Court Judges, In decid ing the Oregon Real Estate Company suit, also followed this decision as well as the Kottage decision, thinking It fitted the bill, but the Supreme Court. It seems, did not Intend it that way. The decision of the lower court was a Joint session deci sion. The recent ruling of the Supreme Court will affect quite a number of street cases in which the city la Interested, but it can not be told yet Just how many. CHINESE TESTIMONY BARRED. Admission of Celestials Into United States Made Dlfflcnlt. Katlve-born Chinese, so-called, who are refused admittance Into the country by Collector of Customs Patterson, will not be landed so frequently by the Federal Court In future as in the past. Judge Bellinger made an announcement to this effect yesterday. Su See, a young man about 20 years old. who came from Hong Kong on the O. R. & X. Co'a steamship Indrasamha, must go back to the land of flowers, tea and Boxers. A petition for his release on a writ of habeas corpus was denied. Su See testified that he was bom in Portland and lived here until he was S 'rears of age. when he returned to China, and remained there until the time he took passage on the Indrasamha. He said his father desired him to como here and se cure an education, and did not accompany him. The young man remembered that he was born in the tnlM story oi a ouua lng on Second street, and that there was nn electric car line on tho street. Chinese testimony was offered, one wit ness stating that Su See's father told him concerning the birth of his son here shortly after It happened. Paul Deady and John Marshall testified that they knew En Moon, su bee's lamer. who formerly lived here, but could not identify his son. In their opinion he re sembled the old man somewnai. Judce Bellinger decided that there was no evidence In tho case but Chinese tes timony, and that even was not very ma terial. He said applicants had previously been admitted an testimony not much more substantial than that Introduced In this case, but the process of entry was becoming too easy, and would not be allowed on Chinese testimony aione. 'Wrote Her' Own Will In German, The will of Sophie Hefty, deceased, who was for a long time a resident of Salem. was filed for probate in the County Court yesterday.

C John, preacher, witnesses. Trylnir to Save Armstrongs Pleas Armstrong, sentenced to be hanged on May 8 at Baker City for the murder of Minnie Ensmlnger, may obtain a new lease of life. His attorney, George J. Ben tier, was In Portland yesterday, en route to Salem to present the case to the Supreme Court. Mr. Bentley has a copy of the let ter written by Miss Ensmlnger to Arm strong on the day before she was killed and which Armstrong never received. Had it been delivered Armstrong would doubt less not have shot his sweetheart. The attorney will do his best to get the Su preme Court to grant a new trial, and says he win be able to show that there was an understanding between the two that if they could not marry In this life they should go together to the spirit world, and that Armstrong had no Idea what he was doing when he fired the fatal shot.

April IS. The Court of Appeals In a decision today unanimously sustained the special franchise tax law, reversing the decision of the appellate division of the Supreme Court, handed down at the January term, and sustaining the decision of Judge EarL The decision sustains the provision for the assessment of the special franchises by the State Board of Tax Commissioners. There were seven cases, all Involving the same question, the validity of assess ments upon the special franchises of the respondent corporations made by tne State Board of Tax Commissioners under the act of 1SS9. which amended the general tax law so as to Include as taxable real property the rights of street railroads, gas. pipe lines, telegraph, telephone and similar public service companies In the nubile streets and places. Taxes assessed during the three years since the passage of the law amount to 18.412.S&i. upon an assessed valuation In 1S02, for Instance, of J36S.017.0. The court holds that the Legislature in creating a new system of taxation em bracing a new kind of property, never taxed before, had the right to Intrust to state officers the power of making the assessment, and that tangible property such as rails and telegraph poles, which had been formerly taxed by'local assess ors. Is merely Incidental to the special franchises, ana nence mat mere was no Infringement upon local self-government. All the Judges concurred In the opinion.

SHOT FOR REFUSAL. Watchmnn Had Demanded Money From Former Employer. VF.tV YORK. Anrll IS. Leopold Wert- helmer. a wealthy dry goods merchant. was shot tnree times ai ua awno m nw One Hundred and Fifteenth street, early today. He was wounded In the chest, arm and right sine, ana is in a eenous cunui tlnn. Chare ed with the shooting the po lice have arrested Joseph Simpson, 30 years old, of East One Hundred ana Twen tv-nrst street. Tho Injured man Is 32 years of age. and a member of the firm of Aaron & Wert helmer. dry goods merchants, who re cently were burned out at .their place of business In xmra avenue, aimpson, me tiollce soy. was employed there as a watchman prior to the Are. At the time of the Are two persons were Durnea to death. The motive of the shooting is a mys tery, both to the police and the Werthel- mer family. Simpson, who was very cool when arrested, refused to make any state ment. Since the fire Werthelmer has not been encaged In any business. The firm discharged Its employes. Including Simp son, but he got work as a motorman. A week ago he lost that position. He bad a long talk with Mr. Werthelmer yester day and returned last night. He again talked with Mr. Werthelmer, and the family thinks Simpson wanted money. The latter returned to the Werthelmer home at an early hour today and the shooting occurred In the hallway of the bouse, after which Simpson walked away and later was arrested. All that Simpson would say was that Werthelmer owed him money for some thing be had done and had refused to pay him. Werthelmer denied this, but said Simpson had demanded money from him as a brother.

East Side Lumber Company "Will Soon Start Work on a Bis Dock. Before the next six months between four and Ave blocks will be covered at the foot of East Oak. East Ash and East Ankeny streets by the Standard Box Fac tory Company ana the East sue iOBotr Comnany. whose mill is located at Sell- wood. Work is now going forward on the Standard Box Factory plant. A roadway has been built on East Water to East An keny. and the foundation of the mala mill building between East Ash and East An keny streets, is nearly completed, and Umbers are being shaped for the building. S. B. Cobb, secretary of the company, said yesterday there was a shortage of tim bers. If the "hold up" by the sawmills continues. Mr. Cobb said the factory would saw out Its own timbers, which It can easily do at Its sawmill plant at the foot of East Alder street. Mr. Cobb, bow- ever, expressed the hope that there would be a settlement of the labor difficulties In a short time. The foundation for the en gines is being laid in concrete on East Water, between East Ash and East An keny streets, and the company has al ready placed orders for most of the mlTl machinery. , Work will also start In a few days on the big lumber dock for the East Side Lumber Company. It will cover the block between East Pine and East Ash streets and west of East Water street with a dock, which It will use for a city lumber yard. C. P. Hogue, of the mill company. baa been making arrangements to start the pile driver on the foundation of the dock. With all these Industries In this lclnlty. It will make It a center of some Importance. The Oregon Water Power & Railway Company will extend a branch on East Water street to this lumber dock. and will transport much of the lumber from the Sellwood sawmill, although It Is said some of the output will come down on barges. The mill at Sellwood will cut from 60.000 to 70.000 feet of lumber per day, and can Increase this amount. If necessary. The company Is completing Its plant by sawing out lumber for Its own building. The sawmill of the Standard Box Factory will be able to cut from 50.000 to 1 00.000 feet of lumber per day. which It will use In the manufacture of boxes. The sawmill will be finished before the erection of the box factory will be under taken. DEATH OF MRS. LOUISA L. CLARK. Well-Known Pioneer Woman Strick en With Paralysis. Mrs. Louisa L.
