ATTACK THE LAW
Validity of Sailor Boarding
House Statute Questioned.
SAID TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
finit to Hare Legislation. Set Aside
Entered by White and Smitk, Who
Would Hare Peace Officers En
joined From Arresting;.
Suit to have the sailor boardins-liouse
license law declared unconstitutional and
to enjoin the various peace officers from
enforcing it was flled in the State Cir
cuit Court yesterday by Harry White and
William Smith.
The defendants named in the com
plaint are S. 3kL Mears, Herbert Holman
and Edward W. Wright, comprising the
Board of Commissioners for licensing
sailor boarding-houses; District Attorney
John Manning. Sheriff W. A. Storey,
Constable W. E. Jackson and Constable
A. D. Keenan, Ben BIglin, Harbor-Master;
Charles Hunt, Chief of Police, and
William Reid and Waldemar Seton, Jus
tices of the Peace.
The court Is asked to restrain and en
join the defendants from molesting Smith
or White in their business of conducting
a sailor's boarding-house or hotel in
Portland for the purpose of boarding,
lodging or harboring sailors, seamen or
apprentices or persons seeking employ
ment as such, without first having ob
tained a license from the Board of
Commissioners, and from pursuing
Smith and White therefor or causing them
or their employes to be arrested or crim
inally prosecuted.
Smith and White further pray that If
they are not entitled to this relief a
writ of mandamus -will be Issued by the
court compelling the - commissioners,
Mears, Holman and Wright, to issue a
license to them authorizing Them to
carry on their business of keeping a
sailor boarding-house.
The complaint recites the license
law passed by the last Legislature and
states that on July 2, 1903, Smith and
White applied to the Board of Commis
sioners for a license, presented satisfac
tory evidence of their respectability and
competency, and of the suitableness of
their bbordlng-house accommodations, of
fered to file a bond in the sum of foOOO,
but that the commissioners refused to
grant the license.
The act of the Legislative Assembly
to license sailor boarding-houses Is al
leged to be unconstitutional and passed
in violation of section 20, article 1, sec
tion 23, article 4, and section 30, article 4,
of the blU of rights.
It Is alleged that the act grants to
certain citizens privileges and immu
nities which do not apply equally to all
citizens of Oregon; also that Herbert
Holman is not qualified to act as a
commissioner because he was a member
of the State Senate at the time of his
appointment.
The business of keeping a sailor
boarding-house is asserted to be legiti
mate, and Smith and White say they
have invested large sums of money in it
and established a substantial, profitable
trade. They allege that if they carry on
the business without a license they are
threatened with arrest and prosecution.
The case was et lor hearing before
Judge Cleland on Thursday.
XO MONEY FOR THEM.
Chicago Commission-House Wants
Uncle Money Loaned Sheepmen.
Suit to recover 522,520. on a sheep deal
has been commenced in the State Circuit
Court by the Mallory Commission Com
pany, of Chicago, against J. E. Sherar
and Charles H. Shurte, doing business at
Bllensburg as Sherar & Shurte; John A.
Little, of Antelope, and the First National
Bank of The Dalles.
Sherar & Shurte since 1899 have been
engaged in buying and selling sheep in
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana,
Minnesota, Illinois and elsewhere, and be
came indebted to the Mallory Commission
Company, so it la alleged in the com
plaint. This indebtedness on December
9, 1901, amounted to $30,000, which was
afterwards reduced to 522,520. The money
advanced by the company, it is asserted,
was used, by 6herar & Shurte in the
purchase of 5674 ewes in Montana, of
which all but 2542 were afterwards sold
and the money remitted to the Mallory
Commission Company, and credited. The
remaining sheep were brought Into the
State of Washington and a chattel mort
gage waa executed by Sherar & Shurte in
favor of the company, covering the flock,
increase and all wool. The mortgage was
recorded irt Kittitas County.
Notwithstanding the mortgage and in
violation "of the confidence reposed in
them, It is averred that Sherar, who was
in charge of the sheep, without any notice
to his partner, Shurte, sold the entire
band of sheep to John A. Little, of Ante
lope. This was done in March, 1903, be
fore lambing time, and before the wool
was clipped. The purchase, price was
$)2S0.
The expense account against the sheep
at the time was $1710, and it is alleged
that the sale of the band before lambing
or clipping was contrary to good business
Judgment, and that the price paid was
grossly Inadequate. The complaint further
recites that Sherar and Little both knew
of the existence of the chattel mortgage
and of the claim of the Mallory Commis
sion Company, and that they conspired
to defraud the company.
Little, it is alleged, executed to the First
National Bank of The Dalles a chattel
mortgage on the sheep to secure $1500, and
it is further asserted by the plaintiff that
Sherar has deposited $7500 in the bank,
which he alleges to be the net proceeds
of the sale. In this connection, however,
the Mallory Commission Company says
the money was borrowed from the bank
by Little for the purpose of lending ap
parent bona fides to the purchase, and it
was not Intended that the money should
be used by Sherar as his own, except as
security to Sherar for his part of the
profits which he and Little should derive
from the fraudulent transaction. But
Sherar, having become alarmed by de
mands upon him. intends to clalinthe sale
A' the sheep was genuine and withdraw
the money from the bank, and use It aa
his own.
The wool clipped by Little, stored at
Ellensburg, and the money Jn the bank
has been attached by the Mallory Com
pany, and the appointment of a receiver
is asked for. The bank's only part in the
transaction Is that it loaned, or has in
its control, the money referred to. O'Day
& Tarpley, and Williams, Wood and
Linthlcum appear as the plaintiff's ' at
torneys. Judge O'Day states that he
received a letter yesterday stating, that
Little acted honestly, and is willing to
turn over the property on the return of
the money which he put up.
COUNTY SELLS PROPERTY.
First Sole of. Lots Acquired Through
Delinquent Tax Purchases.
The first sale of property of many pieces
acquired by Multnomah County through
delinquent tax purchases was made yes
terday morning. Lot 3, block L Abend's
Addition, near Alblna, was sold to A. L.
Minor, of St. Johns, for $45. The taxes
against the lot amount to $3.17, and run
back to 1SSS. If the owner never ap
pears to redeem Minor acquires title 'to
the property, and the fact that he bid so
much- denotes that he knows all about
the previous history of the lot.
The county has a great deal of tax
property to sell, and some time ago
preparations were made to begin the sale
yesterday morning and continue It until
every piece hadbeen disposed of.' Coun
ty Clerk Fields, however, has been un
able to complete the list. One cause of
delay is that the books have been so
much in use by the general public, who
desire to learn if they own anything on
which they have not paid. -The sale
proper will not begin for two or three
weeks yet, and will be continued from
cay to day to avoid legal complications,
as the law specifies the first Monday In
July as the starting time. A list of tho
property will be published as soon as
possible for general information. -
After Baseball Club.
Peter Hobklrk, tho builder who holds
a claim against the Portland Baseball
Club of the Pacific National League for
$2150, balance due for erecting the grand
stand and bleachers at the grounds at
Hawthorne Park, yesterday flled a Hen
against the property. The original cost
was $4150, and Hobklrk was paid $2000.
Tho officers of the club are: Dr. Emmett
Drake, president; John J. Grim, mana
ger, and W. H. Lucas was manager of
the league. As the club was recently
dropped from the league, Drake and his
associates no longer have any use for
the grounds.
Court Notes.
John Nelson has sued Marian Nelson
for a divorce on the ground of desertion
in December, 1501.
Mrs. Jennie Cooper has flled suit against
Frank W. Cooper for a divorce on account
of desertion beginning in 1S9S. They were
married in 1S79.
DAIRYMEN ARE ANXIOUS
Condensed Milk Factories Use Up All
the Supply.
Proprietors of creameries throughout
the Willamette Valley are inclined to
take rather a gloomy view of the situa
tion in regard to their business. They
say that the number of cows has been in
creasing and the Willamette "Valley was
In the way of becoming one of the great
est dairying sections of the country, but
these prospects now appear to be blighted.
There are two things which tend to in
jure the creamery business. One is the
labor question, It being almost impossible
to- secure men to milk cows, and the
other is the condensed milk business. The
establishments for condensing milk are
increasing. The one in operation at For
est Grove is said to be the largest on the
Coast, and the one at Hillsboro is to be
extended and will take in the small one
at Glencoe. There is also talk of one
being established at Tillamook. There ia
no limit to -the market for their product.
Several dairymen discussing the situ
ation yesterday said the condensers are
going to drive the creameries back into
outlying sections, as it Is difficult for a
creamery to maintain itself in the neigh
borhood of a condenser.
The milk condensing business is against
the increase of cows, as all the milk Is
used up by them, and there is no skim
milk left to raise calves on. Farmers who
desire to raise calves to Increase the
numbers of their herds will have to In
vent some substitute for milk to feed
them on. They can obtain an irregular
supply of food for their calves from tho
condensers In the shape of condensed
milk which has fermented. In all can
neries of condensed milk or anything
else, there is always . a percentage of
"wellheads," that is, cans the contents
of which have fermented or undergone a
change which renders it unfit for hu
man consumption. Milk of this kind is
not spoiled for calf food. This supply,
however, is Irregular.
In regard to the question of labor, all
agree that it is very difficult to procure
milkers. Farm laborers will have nothing
to do with milking cows, and men en
gaged for this purpose will not stay long.
Milking calls them out early and late, and
they do not like this.
Milking machines have been brought to
such perfection that they milk cows very
well, imitating even the motion of a
milker in squeezing and releasing the
grasp of the teat, but the cows do not
take kindly to tho machines, and will
not "give 'down" their milk freely to
them. The only solution of the labor ques
tion Is to find men who will milk, or cows
which will submit to be milked by a ma
chine, and the unfortunate dairyman does
not know where to find either.
In the early days of sugar-beet raising,
the growers had great trouble in finding
men who would weed the young beets.
This trouble has been overcome in some
districts by the introduction of Mormon
families with from 10 to 20 children, all of
whom are utilized for weeding beeta In
the season. Whether any such relief can
be secured by dairymen remains to be
seen.
If practically all the milk produced 'in
this region Is to be made into condensed
cream to send abroad and no calves can
be raised nor" butter made, a curious and
not pleasant condition, of affairs will be
brought about.
THIS STRIKE IS WANING
Telephone Linemen Are Not Receiv
ing; Much Support In California.
Tho strike of the telephone linemen
does not appear to be in a flourishing
condition. They have thus far gained
nothing particular in their fight against
the Pacific States Telephone and Tele
graph Company, and have in many places
not even received the support of the
central labor bodies, which correspond
to the Federated Trades Council in Port
land. No action has been taken by the
local council in regard to the strike of
tho linemen and the members appar
ently do not wish to become entangled ,in
the feud.
In California the turn of affairs Is
going decidedly against the linemen, ac
cording to the following communication
from the San Francisco headquarters, re
ceived at the local office yesterday:
"Strike leaders have notified the rank
and file, unofficially, that their cause in
Southern California is lost. The Council
of Labor at Los Angeles has turned down
the "request for a boycott. All outside
points in California are in very good
shape except Oakland.
"The Building Trades Council of San
Francisco has ordered Local No. 6, Inside
Wlremen's Union, to have such of Its
members as formerly worked for the tel
ephone company report back to work not
later than Thursday next, the' Council
taking the stand that it is merely a
sympathetic strike and not for any griev
ance. This means that if union men do
not report for work next Thursday morn
ing the Inside Wlremen's Union will be
expelled from the Building Trades Coun
cil. "The men are coming back, one by one,
on commencing to find that the bulletins
issued by the strike leaders are mislead
ing, and also that the fact of men send
ing in their union cards and returning to
work in. various towns Is being sup
pressed. "There are more men at work In San
Francisco this morning than was the case
the day after the strike opened. It is
not thought that the leaders of the strlko
will be able to hold the men together
any length of time, as there Is great
feeling of dissatisfaction among the men
out of work."

LOW RATES CERTAIN
Railroads Will Favor Lewis,
and Clark Fair.
SELLING DATES TO BE CHOSEN
Round-Trip Hate From Chicago of
$50 Is Probable Transcontinental
Passenger Association Will Act
at Its Next Meeting.
Though the Transcontinental Passenger
Association did not act upon the recom
mendation of a special committee for low
rates to Portland during the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, there is a reasonable
certainty that the question will receive
favorable consideration at the next meet
ing of the association. In any event, the
round-trip rates from Eastern points will
be as loty as any rate ever granted for a
Pacific Coast meeting. This broad asser
tion is made by railroad men who are fa
miliar with the situation, and is made
with a knowledge of the fact that a rate
as low as $50 for a first-class round trip
from Chicago has beca given to Coast
meetings.
The. directors of tho Lewis and Clark
Fair who appeared before the meeting of
the Transcontinental Passenger Associa
tion held In Portland a short time ago
asked for a round-trip rate equal to the
one-way fare between Portland and East
ern points. They are apt to receive a
much better fare.
The special committee, which has had
the matter In charge has been composed
of the general passenger agents of the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern, O. R.
& N., Oregon Short Line and Southern
Pacific Charles S. Fee, chairman of the
committee, wlli come to Portland before
the next meeting of the passenger associa
tion Is held, to confer with the directors
of the Fair relative to special selling
dates.
The raIlroadswill not, as a matter of
course, throw the low round-trip rates
open for the entire six months the Fair
will be in progress. This, it is held,
would be a policy that would have a ruin
ous effect upon general passenger traffic,
and the road3 will Insist upon certain lim
itations to their offer. The selling dates",
however, will be fixed at the suggestion of
the Lewis and Clark board of directors.
While it is not stated that this Is true,
it is believed by passenger officials on the
Coast that one of the reasons why the
Transcontinental passenger Association
did not act upon the Lewis and Clark
rates at Its Chicago meeting was because
selling dates had not been agreed upon
and there was no one In Chicago who
could give a correct Idea, of the number of
days when It would be advisable to put
the low rates into effect This condition
will be met at the next meeting.
That the Western lines Intend to give
cheap rates for the Lewis and Clark Ex
position was made apparent yesterday.
Assistant General Passenger Agent A. D.
Charlton, of the Northern Pacific, received
positive assurances that the concessions
would be granted. He was handed a copy
of the proceedings of the Chicago meet
ing, and his road gave the pledge that
the Lewis and Clark Fair will be accorded
all It desires.
Mr. Charlton authorized the statement
yesterday that General Passenger Agent
Fee would take up the question of Lewis
and Clark rates when he visits the Coast,
and that itvas the Intention of the North
ern Pacific at least to give as cheap rates
to Portland at that time as have ever
been granted for a Coast! celebration or
meeting. This assurance covers the rates
given for the Midwinter Fair at San Fran
cisco, as well as other attractions.
It is generally known in railroad cir
cles that tho northern lines are hoping
to be able to put In a $50 round-trip rate
from Chicago, and 545 from St. Paul, with
other rates graded in accordance to the
haul. The $50 rate Is the one which has
recently been granted the Trans-Misslss-Blppl
Commercial Congress for Its Seattle
meeting, and the assurance of Mr. Charl
ton that Portland will be given rates as
low as any other city has ever received
would seem to Indicate ,that the Northern
Pacific Intended to guarantee a $50 round
trip rate from Chicago.
The Immense advantage of the $50 rate
can be understood when it Is considered
that the regular first-class fare between
Portland and Chicago is $61.50. The rate
war between St. Paul-Chicago lines has
cut $3.50 off this figure, making the one
way rate now in effect $5S. The round
trip fare that will probably be given the
Lewis and Clark Fair is $S better, there
fore, than the directors had anticipated
and asked.
The disposition of all the Western lines
Is toward granting the low round-trip
rates during the Lewis and Clark Fair.
This feeling Is so strong that It is de
clared some of the roads would put the
low fares Into effect if the Transconti
nental Passenger Association withheld Its
approval. The possibility of the passen
ger association's objection Is, however,
very remote. With more Information at
hand the'rates are very apt to be author
ized at the next meeting of the passenger
association.
GARDENS WIN FLAGS.
Highland Improvement Association
Awards Prizes to Contestants.
Last Spring the Highland Improvement
Association,' through the liberality of
George M. Hyland, offered two flags as
prizes for the best flower or vegetable
garden, the competition to be open to
boye, and prizes to be awarded July 3.
A committee from tho Improvement as
sociation inspected the gardens on that
date and found two of them so nearly
alike In merit that they decided to give
first prize to both of them. The fortunate
recipients were Frank Lilbura, 440 Pres
cott street, and Harry Stokes, 455 Pres
cott street, each of them receiving a
wool bunting flag, 3 by G feet.
The second prize was awarded to Frank
Taylor, of 4S2 Prescptt street. Frank Is
only S years old, but had worked diligently
and succeeded In producing a very cred
itable flower garden. He was given a
bunting flag 2& by 4 feet.
While the girls were not mentioned
Edna Murray, of East Fourteenth and
Wygant streets, tried her hand and did
so well that the committee decided she
should not be disappointed. A special
prize, consisting of a beautiful silk flag,
was provided for her.
All of the boys and girls now see that
It pays them to compete and there Is no
doubt that a much larger number will
enter the lists next year.
TO OFEN STARK STREET
Property Owners Would Straighten
Roadway Out and Pay for It.
The opening up of Stark street where
it ends blindly on Twelfth is being
talked of by property owners along the
street The situation has been looked
into by interested parties, and it Is
found that the street could be put Jn
much better shape at a slight expense.
As tho street now runs there Is a bend
at Twelfth, making almost a blind end
ing. In a straight direction it Is less
than 50 feet through to Burnside street.
If the city should buy one lot on the
corner of Twelfth and Stark streets, the
street could be opened, and the entire
Jof would not have to be used. Enough
would be left, so the property owners
say, to have a nice fountain and a
small park on the- corner.
The in eh who are promoting the enter
prise propose that an assessment district
be named along Stark street, and that
tho property owners each pay an assess
ment according to the beneflf they will
derive from the opening. Many of the
property owners along the street have
been consulted on the matter, and as
yet no opposition has been met. After
the situation has been canvassed a.nd it
is found that the greater proportion of
the property owners are in favor of the
opening tho matter will be laid before
the City Council with a petition to order
tho street opened.
TRIED TO SELL A
HORSli
Defectives Block: the Game of John
Carroll and John F. Murphy.
John Carroll and John F. Murphy were
arrested by Detective Simmons on a
charge of"horee stealing. The cteed they
attempted was a daring one, and but for
the prompt actlona of the policemen they
would have netted $75 In good cash for
their venture.
The stolen horse was the property of
Charles Tllden, of Vancouver, Wash. The
two men had gone to hl3 livery stable
Sunday night and hired a horse and
buggy. As soon as they were out of sight
they whipped up the animal and came
directly to Portland. They drove to a
North-End livery stable, and there offered
the horse and buggy for $75.
The horse was a fine one, and worth
much more money, and the owners of the
stable became suspicious at once. One of
them slipped away and telephoned to the
Police Station of theoccurrence.
"Tell them you will take It but have not
the money on hand," said Detective Sim
mons, who answered the 'phone. "Tell
them that they will have to call tomorrow
for their money." The stable men acted
as advised, and the two went away think
ing they had but to call around the next
day for their money.
Meanwhile Tllden had become alarmed
at the absence of his team and telephoned
to Portland to look out for the men. Yes
terday morning the men called around for
their money, but they were met by the
owner of the horse and buggy and De
tective Simmons who promptly placed
them under arrest.
COLLIDES WITH WAGON.
R. W. Cnslclc Receives Serious In
juries Beneath the Wheels.
Serious If not fatal injuries were sus
tained by R. W. Cuslck, an employe of
the Union Meat Company, as he was go
ing to his work yesterday morning. While
riding down Morrison street on a bicycle
he collided with "a delivery wagon and
was badly crushed beneath the wheels.
His jaw dnd shoulder blade were broken,
his ear ground to a pulp, and It Is feared
that his skull was injured. He was still
alive last night, but was suffering intense
pain, and was so restless that the strong
est drugs failed to quiet him.
Just how he fell beneath the wheels Is
told differently by all witnesses, but the
general opinion seems to be that it was
entirely accidental. Cuslck was riding
near the street-car track, and went to
turn out on account of an approaching
car. In crossing the rail of the track
his wheel caught and caused him to fall.
Tho delivery wagon coming along at a
good speed caught him beneath the
wheel?, and it Is regarded as almost a
miracle that he was not killed Instantly.
The patrol wagon was summoned a$
soon as tho accident happened, and the
Injured man was taken to the Good Sa
unarltan Hospital. Dr. A. J. Glesy was
called and every possible attention was
given the Injured man. It waa thought
last night that he had chances of recov
ery, but his condition was pronounced as
critical.
BOY PLEADS GUILTY.
Chester Searls Is Bound Over to Ap
pear Before Grand Jury.
Chester Searls, the dime-novel hero in
real life, who has made such an Impres
sion at Long Beach during the past few
weeks by posing as tho son of a wealthy
gentleman, and stealing during tho night
to keep up appearances, was arraigned be
fore Judge Hogue yesterday morning and
entered a plea of guilty to the charge of
larceny.
Chester had none of the bearing of the
millionaire boy of a few days ago. His
fine clothes that had been stolen had been
taken away from him and returned to
their owners, and the old suit In which
hla Portland friends used to know him
again adorned his form.
"Guilty," he said, In meek tones, as the
Judge read the charge against him, and
he was quietly led back to the Jail, where
ho will be confined to await his appear
ance before the grand jury.
TRIES TO END HIS LIFE.
F. H. Taylor Swallows a Bottle of
Aconite.
F. H. Taylor, Junior member of the firm
of Youngferdor & Taylor, building con
tractors, attemped to end his own life
Sunday night by swallowing the contents
of a bottle of aconite.
When seen yesterday he said that he was
sorry his attempt had failed, and that he
would yet take his own life. It was sup
posed at the time that he had done the
deed In a fit of drunken frenzy, for he had
been drinking for several days, but his
statements yesterday seem to show that
the deed was premeditated.
Taylor Is well known In Portland, hav
ing lived here for a period of about 11
years. He resides at S50 Corbett street.
Prior to entering business for himself last
January Taylor was employed by the City
& Suburban Railway Company as bridge
construction foreman, at a salary of $125
per month.
Making: Thorongh Repairs.
The repairs that are under way at
Engine No. 7's house, on the corner of
East Third and East Pine streets, are
meet thorough, and will leave that build
ing In condition so It will not have to be
touched for several years. The floor where
the horses stand is being renewed and the
quarters both below and above are being
enlarged by appropriating the vacant
space at the east end of the , building.
From the back end of the building, form
erly used as a Jail, the steel cage has been
taken out to make room for the enlarge
ment New doors will be placed In the
front. Yesterday work was started on
the Belgian block sidewalk at the front
entrances. It is considered cheaper to
make these permanent repairs than to do
patch work, much of which had been
done before.
Arrested for Vngrancy.
Fear of Imprisonment with all Its hor
rors will not keep the negro population of
Whltechapel from stealing. Even though
Judge Hogue recently sentenced two
colored women to serve terms of one year
each on a charge of larceny, Charles
Rogers reported to the police yesterday
that he had been robbed of $20 In a negro
dive. He was able, to Identify the woman
who took his money. All the Inmates
were promptly taken to the jail on
charges of vagrancy. Irene Crawford Is
thought by the man -to be the one that
got the money, and a charge of larceny
Is placed against her name. Grace Rogers,
Grace Reed, Victoria Smith and Kate
Gray were brought In on charges of
vagrancy.
