OL-TMPIA, "Wash., April 5. (Special.) A. Li." Hutchlnsqn, representing a Seattle trading-stamp company, has brought suit against Governor Mead and Attorney General Atkinson to prevent them from enforcing the trading-stamp law passed by the last Legislature, on the ground that it is unconstitutional. Fourteen counts are arrayed against the prohibitive statute, which" Is designated asUiou&e bill Ncv S40, Introduced by Rep resentative Scott, of Spokane. It Js at tacked as destructive to the lawful busi ness of the plaintiff; a destruction of their rights as individuals and against public policy; restriction of trade between the people of the state and of interstate trade and commerce; as special and class legislation; of unlawfully, wrongfully and unconstitutionally depriving the plaintiffs of their liberty and rights; as oppressive, discriminative, prohibitive and unreason able and not proper and lawful; that the bll embraces more than one subject, and that the subject of the act "is not ex pressed in the title.

It operates in the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and Everett, and "elsewhere in the United States." POOLROOMS DISTURB PEACE Such Is Argument of Attorney Mc Ginn Before Supreme Court. SALEM, Or., April 5. (Special.) The Portland poolroom case was argued In the Supreme Court today, Attorney-General Crawford and Henry McGinn appearing for the state, and John M. Gearin and E. B. "Watson for M. G.

Nease was convicted under section 1930 of the Code, providing for the punish ment of persons who shall "commit any act which grossly injures the person or property of another, or which grossly disturbs the public peace or health, or which openly outrages public decency and is injurious to public morals." Attorney McGinn argued that although no common-law crimes are recognized by the courts, the courts may go to the common law for definitions, and that by doing so they find that conducting a gaming-house is axi act such as these mentioned in this statute. There is no statute against pool rooms, and hence McGinn contended that the offense can be punished under this section of the Codev The Rogoway case, involving the ques tion whether a Circuit Court has a right to limit attorneys for the defense in an arson case to one hour for their argu ment, was also submitted today. Rogo way was convicted, and the conviction affirmed, but the Supreme Court granted a rehearing, and it was upon rehearing that the case was argued today.

Purpose of Long Petition Filed With Governor Chamberlain. SALEM, Or., Aprii 5. (Special.) The petition for the pardon or Frank Mc Danlel. convicted of the killing of Clara Fitch, were received at the ex ecutive office today. The petition bears the names of many prominent-residents of Portland, and Is, In fact, one of the strongest petitions that has ever been presented to the Governor, so far as the standing of the petitioners Is concerned. The absence of evidence that conclu sively proved that McDanlel committed the crime is the chief reason urged in behalf of the extension of executive clemency on behalf of the convicted man.

A Milner, of the public schools, who tells of Mc Daniel's good conduct while a student of the High School, and his earnestness In studies, etc Rev. W. S.

CONSTITUTION IS AGAINST IT Attorney for Hood River Files Brief In Test Case With Supreme Court and Tells Mode of Procedure. SALEM, Or., April 5. (Special.) The Hood River saloon case will be submit ted to the Supreme Court upon one ques- BREAKING GROUND FOR MEDFORD & CRATER IAKE RAILWAY. Photo by Bennett. MEDFORD, Or., April 5. (Special.) lany representative people of Jackson County assembled at Medford Tuesday to witness the breaking of the ground for the Medford & Crater Lake Railway. No sooner had lira.

The new road, for which Jackson County has been waiting a long time, will make wonderful Crater Lake more accessible and will also tap a rich timber district. $ tion only the constitutionality of the local option law. The brief for the City of Hood River has been filed In the Su preme Court, and the contention of the city authorities is thus disclosed. John McCourt, of Pendleton, attorney for the City of Hood River, filed the brief. Other cases that have been brought under the local orvUon law have involved merely questions of form and procedure; this goes to the foundation of the law and raises the question of its validity. The case will probably be 1 tried by the Supreme Court at its May term. "The people are bound by the constitu tion the same as the Legislature," said Mr. McCourt today. "In enaotlng a law by resort to the initiative the people can go as far as the Legislature can, and no farther. We propose to show that the Legislature had no power to pass a local option law, and that therefore the people had no such power. Prohibited by Constitution. "The local option law adopted In this state is practically the same as that adopted in Texas, , and we are told that the law has been upheld by the highest courts of that state, and if constitu tional there Is also constitutional here. There is this difference, however the constitution of Texas requires the Leg islature to enact a local option law, while the constitution of Oregon pro hibits it. Now let us see. "Prior to the drafting of the Oregon constitution, a number of the states had passed local option laws, but these had been held invalid by the courts. When tho Oregon Constitutional Convention was in session in 1S57 there were pre sented to the convention 12 petitions signed by about 1000 Prohibitionists, ask ing the convention to place in the con stitution a section authorizing the Legis lature to enact prohibitory laws, or to submit such laws with the provision that they should take effect upon the ap proval of the people. Another petition was presented asking the convention to jincludc a section in the constitution prohibiting the Legislature from enact ing license laws. There was also a reso lution introduced in the convention pro viding that the liquor question should be submitted to a vote of tho peop'.e the same as tho slavery question. Tho petitions were denied and the resolution was voted down. Anti-Liquor Request Refused. "Instead of granting the requests of the anti-liquor people, the. convention placed a' clause in the constitution, over their protest, for tho purpose of pre venting the enactment of local option liquor haws. That clause is contained in section 21 of article 1 of the constitution. As this section was originally drafted, it read: Xo ox post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, Shall ever be passed. To this the following addition was proposed: "Nor shall any law be passed, the. taking ef fect of which shall bo made to depend upon any authority, except as provided In this con stitution. Provided that laws locating the cap ital of the state, locating county eeats and submitting town and corporato acts and other local and special laws, may take .effect or not upon a vote of the electors Interested." "The records of the constitutional convention show that the prohibition people fought this amendment, but It was adopted nevertheless, thus showing the clear Intent of the constitutional convention to prohibit the enactment of local-option laws. "This clause was inserted in the con stitution for the purpose stated, and It remains effective for that purpose un less the initiative and referendum amendment changes it.' That amend ment provides among other things that the people may propose laws by initia tive and that they shall take effect upon their Approval by the people and not otherwise. "According to "its own terms the local option law did not become effective when it was adopted by the people, but before it becomes effective In any com munity or county a petition must be filed with the County Court, the liquor question must be submitted to a vote of the people, and a final order must be made by the County Court. "An examination of the decisions of the courts prior to. 1859 will show that local-option' laws had been held in- valid becauso they were delegations of legislativo authority. Since then the courts have changed their decisions and hold that such laws are not delegations of legislative authority, but are laws the taking effect of which depends upon a future contingency. Our constitutional convention, however, adopted the sec tion I have quoted In view of the deci sions of the courts up to that time, and Is must be construed In that light." The Hood PZlver case arose from the fact that Hood River went "dry" at the November election. A saloonkeoper named- Foots demanded the. return of the unearned portion of his license fee, and the city refused to pay it. alleging that the local-option law "was uncon stitutional and that he could still oper ate under his license. He then brought suit, the city demurred to the com plaint, -the demurrer was overruled, and the city appealed to the Supreme Court.

Cold after cold comes on, keeping them continually sneezing or coughing, or troubled with some othor disagreeable symptom. To break up this susceptibility to catching cold is one of the achieve ments of medical science. Or. Hartman has done perhaps more than any ether living doctor to Instruct the people how to avoid catching cold. A cold towel bath In the morning, the gargling of salt water in the throat, and many other hygienic regulations original with the Doctor have been promulgated for many years. But the Doctor's success In combat ing the susceptibility to catching cold Is without doubt more due to the use. of his remedy, Peruna, than to all other measures combined. A person who has this susceptibility is obliged to take a course of Peruna according to the directions on the txtttle. This not only clears tho system of any lingering cold, but hardens the respira tory membranes against further cold catching. DOES NOT FEAR A COLD WITH PE-RU-NA ON HAND. Miss Bessie Luckey, 3126-A Clifton Place, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I took Peruna some time ago, when I was all run down from a neglected cold and overwork, and In two months it restored my strength . in a remarkable manner.
