RULING BY JUDGE M'BRIDE
County Court May Hold Up Notice
That Prohibition Has Carried for
a Time -Without Defeating
Will of People.
ASTORIA, Or.. Feb. 2S. (Special.)
The trial o John Hendrlckson on the
charge of selling: liquor in precinct Na
1 in violation of the local option law,
was commenced in the Circuit Court
today and nearly the entire session was
consumed In arguing points of law. The
attorneys for the defense asked that a
verdict for the defendant be directed
on the gTound that the petition which
the voters filed with the County Court,
asking that the question of prohibition
he submitted to a vote of the people
was Insufficient in that it did not de
scribe the precinct by metes and
bounds.
The court overruled the objection,
stating that according to his interpre
tation of section 1 of the local option
law a description by metes and bounds
was necessary only when a subdivision
of a county, consisting of two or more
precincts, was concerned, and was not
necessary when only a single precinct
was Involved. Then a designation by
number or name was sufficient.
The defense then objected to the or
der of the County Court, made at its
February term, by which official notice
was given that prohibition had carried,
asserting: that the law required the
order be made within 11 days after
election, or as soon thereafter as prac
ticable, and alleging- the County Court
had not authority to make the order at
"bo late a date.
Judge McBride also overruled that
objection, saying he did not think the
delay of the County Court in making
the order should be allowed to defeat
the will of the people as expressed at
the polls. He added tnat the persons
who conducted saloons had not been
injured by the failure of the County
Court to make the necessary order
within the time stipulated, and if any
body had suffered as a result of that
negligence it was the persons who are
Interested in the enforcement of pro
hibition. Continuing1, the court said:
The failure of any officer to comply with
the requirements of the law cannot serve
to set aside the result of an election, for
If that was so, a County Clerk could, by
refusing to issue a certificate of election,
keep anybody out of office and a County
Court could. If It so desired, defeat the en
forcement of a prohibition measure for all
time.
Even If the County Court delayed making
its order for six months, the order would
be In effect from (' that date. The objec
tion Is overruled.
The third contention that was raised
by the defense is that the saloon con
ducted by the defendant Is not located
within precinct 'So. 1. The building- is
on piling between the high and low
water marks of the Columbia River.
The precinct as doilnee ny the order of
the County Court extends to the shore
ne, and the defense alleges that the
shore line is at high-water mark,
hence the saloon is outside the bound
ary. The prosecution asserts that the
shore line is at low-vrater mark.' The
argument of this question will be con
tinued tomorrow.
ORPHAN FUND IS CUT DOWN
Senator Malarkey's Error Results In
Decrease of $2000 a Year.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 2S. (Special.)
Through an oversight in amending House
Bill 371 there is available for the support
of orphans only 54000 a year Instead of
$6000 a year as intended. The purpose of
the bill was to reduce the appropriation
for orphans for the reason that the
amount heretofore appropriated proved to
be larger than was necessary. The stand
ing appropriation made by section 3599 of
the code was 512,000 a year, to be ex
pended by the payment of 550 per year to
each orphan asylum for each orphan or
foundling under 14 years of age contained
therein.
The expenditure under this law for the
last two- years was only about 5TOO0, of
which almost 54000 was for the year 1901.
The ways and means committee concluded
that it was useless to continue an appro
priation that is far in excess o the
amount required and presented a bill re
ducing the amount to 54000. The bill
jassed the House, but In the Senate Sen
ator Malarkey moved to strike out 54000
where the appropriation is numed, which
was done, and the bill passed.
It is now found that the bill contained a
provision which reads "that the total
amount expended hereunder shall not ex
ceed 54000 In any one year. This proviso
Senator Malarkey did not notice and the
figures were not changed to correspond
with the appropriation.
At the present rate of Increase in the
number cf orphans and foundlings, the
claims upon this fund will go a little over
54000 In 1905 and will exceed that sum still
more in 1905. The institutions receiving
money under this law in the last two
years are St. Agnes Foundling Asylum,
Park Place: St. Mary's Home, Beaverton;
EL Mary's Home. St. Paul.
TAXATION IS TO BE STUDIED
Three Commissioners to Be Appointed
About the Middle of May.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 2S. (Special.) Three
tax commissioners are to be appointed
soon aftor May IS to serve for one year
in studying the subject of assessment and
taxation and drafting a new law upon
that subject for this state. The commis
sioners will receive 51000 each for their
services and have the power to employ a
clerk and fix his compensation. The. com
mission must hold its first meeting at
Salem on the second Monday In June. 1905,
at which time It must organize by elect
ing a chairman. Nothing is said in the
law regarding the time of electing a clerk.
The tax commission is to be appointed
by tho Governor, Secretary of State and
State Treasurer and its members must be
selected from different sections of the
state. After meeting to organize on the
second Monday In June, 1906, the commis
sion must continue in session until its
labors are complete, but must complete
its labors and make its report on or be
fore July 1. 1906.
The commission will have power to sum
mon public officers, individuals and mem
bers of partnerships and corporations to
testify upon any subject with which they
may be conversant, relating to assess
ment and taxation, and persons refusing
to testify may be punished by fine of 5500
or imprisonment for six months upon
conviction before a court.

HEIR TO MILLIONS AND A TITLE
Spokane Man to Be Lord Kerr of
Eglinton, Scotland.
SPOKANE. "Wash., Feb. 28. (Special.)
Alexander Kerr, of Spokane, says he is
heir to the estate, and has documents to
prove it, of Eglinton, in Kilwinnen, Scot
land. Tho estate, which Kerr says is
worth 5SO.O00.O0O, has been In the chancers
courts of England and Scotland since 1443
A. D. He is also heir to the title of Lord
Kerr. Notification of the Inheritance came
through Scottish papers containing ad
vertisements asking the whereabouts of
the heirs.
The Eglinton estate has been the sub
ject of incessant legal battles In Great
Britain. The great Eglinton castle, one
of the trongholds of the Scotch In their
war with England, was controlled by the
Kerrs for generations. In the middle of
the 15th century, when the Kerrs were
upholding the standard of England during
the war with France, Captain Drummond,
of the English army, married a daugh
ter of the Kerrs and during the disastrous
times so many of the family expired that
Drummond claimed the estate, saying he
was next la line. Bitter quarrels ensued
between the Kerr and Drummond fam
ilies. The present Mr. Kerr says he remem
bers his grandfather discussing the fa
mous cases and the large estate he hoped
to leave his children if the English courts
did him justice. Mr. Kerr expects it will
take a little time to establish his right to
the title. Other heirs, but not so direct,
live In Canada and the East
Kerr has lived In Xorthport, Stevens
County. Washington, for 12 years. He is
a member of the firm of Kerr, Stone &
Graves, which controls the American
Eagle and the John H. McBride mine. He
will remain in Spokane with his wife and.
9-year-old daughter until he receive In
formation as to the whereabouts of John
McDonald, whom he wishes to find for
the purpose of testifying in his behalf In
winding up the estate.
Mr. Kerr'is a man of some standing in
the community and his allegations are
readily given credence by his friends.

TACOMA. Wash.. Feb. 28. (Special.)
Soon after the north-bound Portland train
pulled out of Tacoma this morning there

FERTILIZATION OF URCHIN EGGS
Dr. Loeb, of University of California,
Performs Remarkable Experiment.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Ber
keley. Cal.. Feb. 2S. Extraordinary re
sults have attended recent experiments
of Dr. Jacques Loeb, of the University
of California, who has been delving deep
Into the mysteries of life and who an
nounces, without reservation, that his
experiments have produced the produc
tion by artificial means of sexual fertili
zation in the eggs of sea urchins, a con
summation long sought but hitherto not
attained in any such measure -as through
the most recent experiments of Dr. Loeb.
Says Dr. Loeb at the conclusion of a
long statement regarding his work: "It
Is obvious that we are now able to Imi
tate the process of sexual fertilization in
the egg of the sea urchin completely, and
in all Its essential features, by purely
physical and chemical means."

APPEAL TO VOTERS
Yamhill Committee to Give
Reason for Referendum,
ENTHUSIASM IS RISING FAST
Campaign to Secure Action Against
Normal School Appropriations
Is Receiving Encouragement
and Promises of Support.
M'MIXNVILLE. Or.. Feb. 2S. The com
mittee appointed to formulate plans for
a campaign to secure referendum of the
51,000,000 appropriation bill containing pro
vision for the State Normal Schools met
this evening. The committee decided to
have from 500 to 1000 petitions printed
and sent to various parts of the state for
signatures. There are many volunteers
who offer to circulate and work for them.
It Is expected that many taxpayers In
the Normal School district will support
the movement.
It was also decided that an appeal
should be Issued to the voters of Oregon.
The appeal will be a concise statement
of the necessity for such action.
The committee adjourned to meet again
Saturday and consider further plans for
an active campaign. The Interest did not
subside with the close of last night's
meeting, which was attended by about 70
of the most representative taxpayers of
McMlnnville and vicinity, who met with
out any signed call, thus Indicating that
it was not the work of calamity-howlers,
but a genuine protest against the work
that has been done.
Enthusiasm continues and words of en
couragement are continually coming to
the committee from outlying localities
that offer their support to the movement.
PETITIONS NEED 4500 NAMES
Must Be-
Filed Before
May 18 cf
This Year.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 25. Special.) The
strength of public sentiment back of the
movement to demand the referendum on
the 51,000,000 appropriation bill Is a source
of surprise to many prominent men who
have watched the progress of the agita
tion, and in view of the present lndlca
tlous there Is reason to believe that the
movement will be successful to the ex
tent of putting the bill to a vote of the
people.
At first it was thought that the agita
tion had its origin with a, few men who
were seeking such popularity as could be
gained from opposing large appropria
tions, but it now develops that many solid
business menwho have no political ambi
tion favor the movement.
"If men are willing to spend the time
necessary to circulate petitions they can
get the signers," said one prominent man
today, "and the way public opinion stands
today the appropriation bill would be
voted down at the polls. The people may
look at the matter differently when It
Is discussed before the olection in 1905,
but there is no doubt that they are
strongly against the bill now."
It will take petitions signed by 4500
voters, or 5 per cent of the total vote cast
for Supreme Judge last June, to submit
the appropriation bill to the people.
These petitions must be filed within SO
days after adjournment or before May IS.
The vote on the bill. If referred to the
people, will be held on the first Monday in
June, 1906, at the time of the general elec
tion, and until then the act would not go
Into effect.
Whether It would go into effect after
that time would depend upon the vote of
the people. Some of the expenditures for
which appropriations are made in this
bill will be incurred regardless of the
demands for the referendum, for the ex
penditures are authorized by existing
laws. Other Items of expense, which are
not authorized except by this bill, will
not be Incurred if the referendum should
be demanded.
The Items of expense which will be In
curred In any event arc:
Insane Asylum, maintenance ....5400.000
Insane transportation 32.000
Penitentiary maintenance ...... 110,000
Convict transportation 15,000
Reform School maintenance 53.000

Support of non-resident poor ...... 5.000
Keturn of fugitives 3,000
ncwaras tor arrest
Expenses Presidential electors

Total 5G73.335
The following items of expanse con
tained in the bill- will not bo Incurred If
the bill should be held up by the refer
endum: Asylum. Improvements S7.250
Reform School. Improvements 10,500
Mute School Improvements 3.000
Blind School. Improvements 3,500
State University, additional mainte
nance and Improvements C2.500
Experimental Station at Union 15,000
Agricultural College, improvements. 03.000
Monmouth Normal, maintenance. . .. 3G.O0O
Ashland Normal, maintenance 31.000
Drain Normal, maintenance 21.000
Weston Normal, maintenance 25,000
Soldiers' Home, additional mainte
nance S.000
Soldiers" Home. Improvements..... 1.220
State Biologist, expenses ' 1,000
Irrigation commission, expenses.... 521
Total 5373,034
Many of these expenditures will eventu
ally be made, even though this appropria
tion bill be referred to the people and be
voted down by them. The new buildings
must be erected at the asylum some time
and practically all the improvements pro
vided for at other institutions will be
made under appropriations by subsequent
Legislatures.
The chief doubt that exists Is as to the
normal schools, for it Is at these Institu
tions the referendum Is aimed. Should
the bill be referred and voted down, fu
ture Legislatures would hesitate to re
appropriate money for all the normals.
It Is asserted that even though the
people demand the referendum on the
bill and vote it down, the normals will
run just the same and that the Legisla
ture of 1907 will appropriate money to
cover their expenses for the Intervening
two years, together with interest upon the
money advanced by private parties for
the maintenance of the schools.
In view of the possibility and seeming
probability that the appropriations for the
state institutions, the university and Ag
ricultural College will be held up because
the normal schools were saddled upon the
bill, there Is pretty general condemnation
of the course the Legislature pursued.
Members of the ways and means commit
tee say that they were unable to keep the
normal school appropriations out of the
bill, for out of ten members of the joint
committee there were five from counties
having normal schools. These five men
could control the action of the committee,
for they stood together In demanding
that their appropriations be cared for.
The knowledge that this situation ex
isted, and that the normal schools ore the
basis of the greater part of the log-rolling
In the Legislature, serves to increase
the determination to effect a reform In
this direction. It is safe to say that if
the Legislature at its recent -session had
cut out the normal school that has made
the poorest showing, there would have
been little demand for a referendum upon
the appropriation bllL
The method pursued to force the people
to maintain four normal schools against
their win. Is what gives strength to the
referendum movement. Governor Cham
berlain said this evening:
"I would dislike to have . tht state -lnstl-
xtasx ai sucta- "gisfcr lLa
sM
venlence of having their appropriations
held up by referendum petitions, but I
do not know of a better tlmo for the peo
ple of this state to teach the Legislature
that It must not put into a general ap
propriation., bill items which they are
afraid cannot pass upon their merits."
'SUNDAY-CLOSING BILL PASSED
Idaho Senate Would Shut Up Thea
ters, Saloons and Racetracks.
BOISE, Idaho. Feb. 28. (Special.)
Both houses of the Legislature are
doing business thl& week, the last of
the session, at a rapid rate. .Today
the Senate disposed of a number of
Important measures and the House
passed 30 bills, while, killing a few as
it went along.
The struggle in the Senate was over
the Senate bill providing for Sunday
closing of saloons, theaters, music
halls and racetracks. The opponents
of the bill had it rercrrcd once to the
judiciary committee, . where they hold
it safe, but a motion to reconsider
brought it out, and the bill was passed.
Several Senators explained they had
hoped to get the bill amended but
were obliged to vote for the principle.
At the evening session of the House
an effort was made to pass the bill
under suspension, but the vote stood
24 to 13, not the necessary two-thirds
to suspend.
The House passed the House bill
making and appropriation of 535,000
for the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
Another important measure passed
by the House was one giving the state
right of change of venue. It is in
tended primarily to assist in prose
cuting cases of polygamy. The bill
passed with only one dissenting vote,
but it Is feared It will not get through
the Senate.
Johnson's 3-cent-fare bill was-de-feated
in the House after a sharp de
bate. In his speech Johnson said the
railways in Northern Idaho were
charging only 3 cents on the main
lines and branches, but in the south
ern portion the charges are cents on
main lines and 5 cents on all but one
branch.
The Republican joint caucus this
evening received and adopted the re
port of Its special committee on reap
portionment. The new bill provides
for 51 members of the House instead of
EO, as at present. Ada and Nez Perces
each gain one and Shoshone and Oneida
each lose one. Lewis and Clark, the
new counties, are given two each, or
more than the parent county of Koot
enai had.
Governor Gooding signed the Lewis
and Clark bill today, probably hasten
ing the matter in order that there
should be no confusion over the new
apportionment. Tho two new coun
ties, like all others, have a Senator
apiece. Following is the apportion
ment of Representatives provided in
the bill:
Ada, 5; Bannock, 3; Bearlake, 2;
Bingham. 3; Blaine. 2; Boise, 1; Can
yon, 3; Cassia, 1; Clark, 2; Custer, 1;
Elmore, 1; Fremont, 4; Idaho, 3; Latah,
3; Lemhi, 1: Lewis, 2; Lincoln. l;.Nez
Perces, 5; Oneida, 2; Owyhee, 1: Sho
shone, 3; Washington, 2. Nez Perces
includes part of Shoshone annexed.
Capital Will Stay at Boise.
BOISE, Idaho. Feb. 2S. The Senate to
day passed the House bill providing for
the erection of a new Capitol building in
Boise. This is regarded as definitely set
tling the question of location of the state
capital. The constitution provides that
It shall be located in this city until 1910.
when the Legislature may submit the
question of changing the location to a
vote of the people.
With the new Capitol building erected
here' at a cost of 5350,000, It Is not be
lieved an effort will ever be made to
make a change.

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of Indi
gestion. Very few people are free from some
form of Indigestion, but scarcely two
wlILhave the same symptoms.
Some sufTer moat directly after eaUng,
bloating from gas in stomach and bowels,
others have heartburns or sour risings,
still othera have palpitation of the heart,
headaches, sleeplessness, pains In chest
and under shoulder blades, some have
extreme nervousness, as In nervous dys
pepsia. But whatever the symptoms may be,
the cause In all cases of indigesUon is the
same, that is the stomach for some
reason falls to properly and promptly
digest what Is eaten.
This Is the whole story, of stomach
troubles in a nutshell. The stomach must
have rest and assistance and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets give It both by sup
plying those natural digestives which
every weak stomach lacks, owing to the
failure of the peptic glands In the stom
ach to secrete sufficient acid and pepsin
to thoroughly digest and assimilate the
food eaten.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
2000 grains of meat, eggs or other whole
some food, and this claim has been
proven by actual experiment, which any
one can. perform for himself In the fol
lowing manner: Cut c. hard-boiled egg
into very small pieces, as It would be It
masticated; place the egg and two or
three of the. tablets In a bottle or jar
containing warm water heated to 83 de
grees (the temperature of the body) and
keep It at this temperature for three
and one-half hoursr at the end" of which
time the egg will be as completely di
gested as It would have been in the
healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
The point of this experiment Is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, will do
to the egg In the bottle they will do
to the egg or meat In the stomach and
nothing else will rest and Invigorate
the stomach so safely and effectually.
Even a little child can take Stuart's
Tablets with safety and benefit If Its
digestion Is weak and the thousands of
cures accompllsheu by their regular
dally use are easily explained when It
Is understood that they are composed
of vegetable essences, aseptic, pepsin,
diastase and Golden Seal, which mingle
with the food and digest It thoroughly,
giving the over-worked stomach a chance
to recuperate.
Dieting never cures Dyspepsia, neither
do pills and cathartic medicines, which
simply Irritate and Inflame the Intes
tines. "When enough food Is eaten and prompt
ly digested there will be no constipation,
nor In fact will there be any disease of
any kind because good digestion means
good health to every organ.
The merit and success of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets are world-wide and they
are sold- at the moderate price of 50
cents for full-sized package In every
drugstore In the United States and Can-
Sea as-la Euro?
