TEST CASE OH POINTS OF LAW County Court Rejects All Claims, De nylns Liabilities, and Attorneys "Will Pick Oat One Case for Ap pealMore Claims Filed. As was anticipated. Judge Webster Is- sued an order yesterday In the county Court, denying all claims for damages re- suiting from the Morrison-etroet bridge accident. An attorney representing a number of claimants ivqs present, pre pared to make an argument, but, after a brief discussion with Judge "Webster, it was agreed that the best course to pur sue was to go before the Supreme Couj-t On a question Of law as soon as possible, and ascertain if the county Is liable. Judge Webster said it was admitted that people fell from the bridge and were in jured, but he denied any negligence or liability on the part of the county. A number of attorneys represent claim ants, and will probably hold a meeting and decide what course is best to pursue. If they decide to make a test case and carry it to the Supreme Court, they will determine which case to select, and what propositions of law to contend far. Seven additional claims have been filed with County Auditor Brandes. Each for $2000 damages. John Duncan wants damages for his son, Charles H. Duncan, whose left ankle was dislocated, bones of the left foot broken and crushed and other minor in juries received. Ben Rapp alleges that four of his ribs were broken, his leg bruised and Injured. He is represented by his father, Charles Rapp. W. J. Golyean says he was thrawn from the bridge, sustaining an injury to his knee, besides his left side; also a fracture of the jawbone and cuts on the face. Mrs. i". C. Humphrey claims she sus tolned serious injuries to her bade and eerious bruises of her elbows. Daisy Eymcn alleges that sho 'was in ternally injured, besides sustained bad bruises and lacerations of her body, and suffered a eerious nervous shod. J. T. Cmnnock says his rlgh- hip and the sciatic nerve were injured, two ribs broken, nose fractured and left arm and shoulder hurt. Florence Martin avers that both knees were badly injured; that her uplne was wrenched, several teeth knocked out, and ier right hip hurt. She says she is per manently injured. LABORER'S EYE PUT OUT. IJe Sacs Contractors for Dam. axes, Aliening Criminal Ketclect. Suit was filed in the United States Cir cuit Court yesterday by W. H. Ryals against tho contracting firm of Ferguson & Houston for $10,000 as personal dam ages and costs. Ryals is at present a resident of Missouri, but was formerly in the employ of Ferguson & Houston as u laborer. While engaged in driving a scraper at Fort Columbia, Wash., a year ago, ho alleges that the dump lever struck him in the face, destroying tho sight of his right eyo and otherwise disfiguring his face, all of which disqualifies him for following his trade, that of mechanical engineer. Tho petition' recites that tho injuries wero sustained In the line of bis employ ment, and were due to the criminal neg- ltgenco of the defendants in requiring him to work with a worn-out scraper. which was unfit for service. The plaintiff is represented by Oglesby Toung and V. , 3C Strode, of this city, and tho cause will probably go to trial at tho October term. HE WANTS A I J, THE HORSES. Areliambcau Sues for Band of Ani mals Sold, but Not Delivered. W. It. Archaxnbeau has sued Will Wurz Bffoller in the State Circuit Court for 5S53 damages, on account of failure to deliver certain horses and colts, and the com plaint states that in August, 1902, Arch tunbeau purchased from Wurzweller, at t"3S a head, all of a band of horses on a (range near Prlncville, known as tho Olarnca ban"L containing not less than 225 ttieod of sound horses and to pay for all itho horses not crippled, all suckling colts to bo covered by the price of the horses. it is alleged that there wer ICO suckling colts in the band.

Tho evidence adduced in tho Municipal Court in the case of Yeoung Yeo, alias Woo Sliook, who is wanted In San Fran cisco for robbery and attempt to commit murder, was submitted in writing to Judge Cleland yesterday.

Several Chinese witnesses gave like evl denco before Judgo Hogue. Detective Gibson, from tho Bay City, who came aft r the prisoner, says he is tho right man. The matter was brought before Judge Cleland on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and a decision was reserved. Montavilla Liquor Case Continued Tho Grimes Montavilla liquor license case was called up in the County Court yesterday, and was continued for hearing for two weeks. It may bo necessary to prove whether or not some of the persons who signed either the petition or the re monstrance are electors of the precinct, and it will take the attorneys some time to examine- all of the names on both doc uments, and to ascertain if they desire to question any f them or not.

"THE "WILL OF THE PEOPLE Something About It In Conneetloa With the Referendum Amendment. LATOURELLE. Or.. Aug. 23. To the Editor.) I have read with great Interest the different opinions about the recent tre clslon of onr honorable Circuit Judges of Multnomah County. In the matter of the initiative and referendum. I wish to give my opinion from the standpoint of one of the plain people. I am a rarmer and do not pretend to have any knowledge of the law, but I have a little common sense, and I wish to tell the Judges and others what many of us think of this thing. The majority will of the people in a state Is at any and all times the supreme power there, which rules and governs everything, which has no power above it and takes orders from no one. This su preme power acts always as It pleases ano Its acts are always In order and al ways right and lawful because it is the supreme law. If it makes a mistake no one but itself can correct it, because it is the law. It makes law and repeals law. It creates and maintains all courts and employs all Judges therein to uphold, to guard and to carry out its will. There fore nothing can be more absurd and rebellious against this will and against common sense, in the opinion of an aver age voter, than for the Judges who are employed as guardians of this will to re volt, rebel, or decide against it. And this decision of the Judges of Multnomah County Is a Judicial rebellion against the people, as it is clear enough from read ing the constitution. The majority will of the people of Ore gon Is, according to our constitution and the Constitution of the United States, the supreme power In this state which rules and creates all law and order therein. This will Is therefore always In order, no matter how it does something or what it does, as long as Its actions are not against the Constitution of the United States. Tho courts of the state do not make the laws for the people, but the people make the laws for the courts. We have never given the courts any power or right to say anything about the making of laws, but only to say what a law means when it Is made by the Legislature, and to say if Its actions are against our constitution. All this is very plain, there cannot be the least doubt about it, and it takes but little sound sense to understand It easily. All Judges of our state are employes, hired workmen. They are hired by the majority will of the people to maintain and uphold their will in the laws they have made. Just as soon, therefore, as one of these Judges decides against that will, just that soon he Is In rebellion against It anfl against his employer. Every rebel against the majority will of tho people ought to be treated and punished as such. Every such rebel is a criminal. Therefore, these Multnomah Judges by right should themselves be before the Su preme Court of our state as defendants in a criminal case instead of the initiative and referendum. We should not allow by any means that any court should trifle with the will of tho people. Therefore, I claim that even our Supreme Court has not the least legal right to declare or to decide against any action or expression of this will by a majority of the people, either in the name of Justice or sound reason. The will of tho present generation Is bound no more by the will of their fore fathers than a present Legislature Is bound by the dictation of a previous one. It would bo horrible If it was otherwise. It is. therefore, all nonsense when a Judge decides that the will of the present generation must be expressed exactly as the will of a dead generation dictates' and prescribes. We allow old laws to be In existence Just as long as we think they are good for our welfare, and no loncer. It don't matter who made them. We create new laws for new purposes, and no pre vious generation or legislation, no presont court or Judge has a right to dictate and say what the present majority will of the people shall do or how it shall be done, aiier it is aone. The courts may reverse the action of our representatives in the Legislature if it makes laws which violate directly ap proved will of the people as put down in our constitution, but they have no right whatever to reverse the directly expressed majority win or the people themselves If the courts had declared the action of the Legislature wrong In regard to the initiative and referendum before the neo pie at tho ballot box themselves acted on It. possibly it might havo, been right, but alter tne people or Oregon approved the action or tne Legislature by a great ma jority. It is then good law, and the courts nave notning more to say. Only tho people themselves can now re verse their action. If they find out It is not good. This is the common-sense opinion of one old "hayseed" and he knows a good many more who think the same thing. FERDINAND FLOSS. PATRIOT LAID IN TOMB. Burial of Mcnotti Garibaldi Is a Most Impressive Spectncle. ROME Aug. 26. The burial of Menottl Garibaldi took place today, and was a most impressive spectacle. During the night, the body was carried on the gun carnage, on wnicn It left Rome last nlKht. escorted by cavalry, across the Campagna itomania. Amia tne darkness would ap pear, from time to time, groups of peas ants, carrying torches, lanterns and char acteristic lamps with three wicks, who knelt along the road and called on God to bless tha remains of their benefactor. A group of cowboys of the Campagna Romania mounted on prairie ponies and carrying long Iron-tipped lances for guid ing the cattle, Joined the escort around the coflln. As the dawn burst over the Campagna, a group of horsemen came dashing up from the opposite direction. Their leader, who at first was not recog nlsed, approached the gun carriage and laid an oak branch upon the coffin, at the same time scarcely restraining his emo tlon. It was Gabriele d'AnnunzIo. Arriving at Carano Menottl's estate, the coffin was lowered into the grave by the dead man's relatives and friends including d Annunzio. wno also delivered a brief and touching address. The earth was then filled In. The grave lies in the midst of a deso late plain. Sisters "Will Worlt Among: Lepers SYRACUSE. N. Y.. Aug. 25. Sister Beata, of Louisville. Ky..

At no time since June were the sales of round trip first-class tickets from Portland to Eastern points as heavy as they were yesterday. If the sales in the rest of the Northwest territory compared equally with those of Portland, not less than 000 persons purchased tickets for the Eastern trip. Estimating the result on the basis of yesterday's ticket sales, passenger men declare that fully .1100 persons secured tickets during the past two days. This Is an unusually good business, despite the fact that low- rates augmented the rush and passengers realized that there would be no further opportunity this year of go ing East at low fares. The big June rush out of the Northwest territory was due largely to the fact that hundreds of teachers took advantage of the opportunity to attend the sessions of tho National Educational Association. Others going away on their summer vaca tions gave the movement all the appear ance of a big Eastern rush. There were no aids to travel similar to those of June to stimulate the showing of the past few days. No large party went out from any point, and there were no delegations of secret societies or other organizations. The business was strictly of a personal character, and its volume has surprised railroad men. If anything may be judged from the sale of tickets, comparatively few persons go ing East now will go beyond Chicago. The inquiries regarding lines east of that point were few, and the representatives of Eastern lines had little business to dis turb them. The St. Paul, Missouri River and Chicago territories drew the crowds. Of course many who purchased tickets during the past two days may not go East until the last of the week. Under the terms of sale the ten days' going limit means that the passenger holding a ticket must be on the last road of the Journey on the tenth day. This gives op portunities for short stopovers on -the. eastbound trip or for a delay in leaving Portland for the East, and travelers are taking advantage of the opportunity to delay departure. The dates of sale of the last low rates quoted this year by the transcontinental lines allow passengers to reach Eastern destinations after the. summer heat has moderated. They will be able to spend their time East during the delightful fall weather and have a great advantage In this way over the travelers who took ad vantage of early sales. It is probably due to this fact that the number of persons going East was so large, for It is appar ent to railroad men that the travel was induced merely by a desire to pay friendly visits. Comparatively little of it was based on business reasons. Ficuros on vpstri"flv,R tirlrnt raise nil. not be had by passenger men for several days, but It is not difficult to make a conservative estimate of the minimum amount of sales that must have been made. A single transcontinental office had sold SS round trip tickets late yes terday afternoon. On this basis the sales out of Portland alone must have exceeded 200 and from the Northwest territory, COO. The first day's business was lighter, but the total for the two days cannot have amounted to less than 1100. The routing of this business shows the passengers are seeking pleasure. Most of the tickets read so passengers can make one going trip and return by another route to the point of departure. Liberal stopover privileges were sought. WILL ADVERTISE THE FAIR, Nevr York Central Is the First Rail road to Act. The first railroad to make definite ar rangements for advertising the Lewis and Clark exposition, during the course of Its regular business. Is the New York Cen tral. The passenger department of that line has prepared a line of advertising for the magazines and intends to put it out at once. The plan of the New York Central's ad vertising Is purely a Lewis and Clark con tennial move. Copies of a magazine ad vertisement to be put forth Immediately were received by local representatives of the road yesterday. This shows a map of one half of the globe, with several of the New York Central's lines and connec tions Indicated as reaching Portland. Across the globe are printed these words: "BIrdseye view of the trip by the New York Central lines and connections from New Yorg, Boston, El Paso and the East to the Lewis and Clark Centennial at Portland. Or., in l&CS." A further promise of publicity in con nection with the fair is contained in this statement- found in the advertisement: "The Four Track News will have consid erable to say about this exposition." The Four Track News is a publication of the passenger department of the New York Central. The intimation - that the publication intends to speak of the fair means that the publishers will use a se ries of illustrated articles on that theme. The Four Track News, having a wide cir culation among railroad men, those inter ested In that business, and the general public, will spread the fame of the Lewis and Clark exposition In new directions. DAY TRIPS OX T. J. POTTER. O. R. & X. Announces Nctc Schedule from the Beaches. The passenger department of the O. R. & N. announced yesterday a series of spe cial day trips to be made by the com pany's steamer T. J. Potter from points in the North Beach to Portland. In con nection with the company's Ilwaco line, the Potter will give a daylight ride into Portland on four days to accommodate those who have been spending the summer at the beach. On Friday the boat will leave Ilwaco at noon, arriving In Port land at S:15 P. M.; on September 2 and 4 the departure from Ilwaco is timed for 930 A. M. and the arrival In Portland for 5:35 P. M. The Potter left Ilwaco yester day at 11:30 A. M. and arrived in Portland at 7:45 P. M. One of the strong reasons for making the daylight run Into Portland Is that the GOT TO Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop Bnclc The man of today, no matter what his calling, needs a sharp brain, and to get this he needs food that not only -jives muscle and strength but brain and nerve power as well. A carpenter and builder of Marquette, Mich., who is energetic and wants to ad vance in his business read an article about food in a religious paper, and in speaking of his experience he said: "Dp to three years ago I had not been able to study or use my thinking powers to any extent. There was something lacking. and I know now that it was due to the fact that my food was not rebuilding my brain. "About this lime I began the use of the condensed food Grape-Nuts,- and the result has been I can think and plan with some success. It has not only rebuilt my brain until it is stronger and surer and more active, but my muscles are also harder and more Arm. where they used to be loose and soft, and my stomach is now In perfect condition. I can endure more than twice the amount of fatltrue. and my nights' rest always completely restores me. In other words, I am en joying life, and I attribute it to the fact that I have found a. perfect food." Name given by Posltnn Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Potter on its night trips can only accom modate 200 passengers while In the day time more than twice that number can be carried. The day run Into the city Is also a great accommodation to the people at the beach. PLUMBERS ON STRIKE. Employers Sax They Have Plenty of Men Strikers Deny It. Though a strike of the union plumbers is on in Portland, no one seems to know it. If the season were Winter, when the water pipes sometimes freeze and no plumber could be found to make repairs, a mighty wall would go up, but August is the plumbers' holiday, anyway. No more men have left the plumbing Bhops, as the majority quit yesterday morning. The members of the Master Plumbers' Association, interviewed on the subject yesterday declared that within a few days they would have all the plumb ers they wanted. The strikers say with equal firmness that good plumbers are hard to get, and that the greater number of those who enter town are members of their union, and cannot, therefore, work in their places while the strike is on.
