15 THE HORSING OBEGONIA2T, SATURDAY, JULY 22, WOII OPEN TIE TRAIL BY LAW Concessionaires Present the Court Their Side of the Case. to OFFICIALS ON THE STAND Jndge Fraser, at Request of Counsel, Promises to Decide Sunday Open ing Problem at 4 o'clock This Afternoon. The question of the right of the conces sionaries on the Trail at the Exposition to keep open Sundays under their con tracts was argued before Judge Frazer yesterday, and evidence was taken. Judge Frazer, after the case was sub mitted, said he would render a decision on Tuesday, but by urgent request of counsel promlseJ to try to have his de cision ready and pronounce It at 4 o'clock this afternoor. The plaintiffs are the Roltalr Amusement Company and the Davenport Farm, but all of the other at tractions on the Trail are concerned In the matter. The Trail people contend that under their contracts they are entitled to run on Sundays under suitable regulations, and also that the Exposition people ad vertised to the world that the Exposition would be open Sundays. The result of the closing of the -Trail, It was contended, drove people to patronize attractions of a low character on the outside, while those inside of the Exposition grounds were first-class, strictly moral, entertain ing and Instructive. "Gay Paree" was admitted to be a notable exceptlqn, and Judge Frazer was loth to decide In favor of the Sunday opening if "Gay Paree" Is to be included. Thomas O'Day and John F. Logan, plaintiff's attorneys, said they did not appear for "Gay Paree." and said the petitioners were not to blame for Its ex istence, but the Exposition management. Reed Gives Testimony. Henry E. Reed, secretary of the Lewis and Clark corpqratlon, testified regard ing a resolution which was adopted by the executive board January 23, 1904, sanc tioning Sunday opening, and which was approved in March following, unanimously bv the general board of directors. The resolution is in the form of a report by H. W. Goode upon the subject. Mr. Reed read the resolution which contained many reasons why the Fair should be open on Sundays. Among the rerfsons given were that if the Exposition was kept open on the first day of the week it would be tne means of keeping travelers here over that day; that the period of the Fair was short, and It was held during the vacation period when it was delightful to be out of doors day and night, which Oregonlans and working people took ad vantage of to the fullest extent; that the entertainments would be of an In nocent and harmless character; that It would attract people from the immediate surroundings of Portland in large num bers and also that the financial question was to be considered, as It was important to make the Fair a success. It was also urged that if the Fair was kept closed on Sundays attractions of an objectionable character outside of the Exposition would spring up like mushrooms, and receive large support, to the detriment of visitors and good morals of the community and visitors. These and many other reasons, and that the Exposition would be free from objectionable features were ad vanced in the resolution. Mr. Reed testified that the resolution was made public all over the world as far as possible, through the Associated Press and press associations, and was published in full in The Oregdnian. The bill be fore Congress for the opening of the Fair on Sundays was then pending, and it was intended to have lnlluencc for the pas sage of the measure. Wakefield a Witness. John A. Wakefield, director of conces sions and admissions, testified that he did not remember that any representa tions were made when the Davenport Farm and Roltair Amusement Company contracts were entered Into, other than what the contracts contained. George L. Baker, representative of the Davenport Farm, remarked at the time that he did not think there would be any objection on the part of anybody to the Operation of that concession on Sundays. The ques tion of Sunday opening, the witness said, was one resting entirely with the Expo sition managers. Ills attention was called to paragraph 3 In the contracts giving the Exposition managers the right to stop anything not of good moral tone, or for the best interest of the Exposi tion. He said no shows or amusements or educational concessions on the Trail were open on Sunday. Vending conces sions were open. He acted under the direction of President Goode In restricting the opening days to six days a week. Mr. Wakefield said he had not promulgated any formal rules to that effect, only j mere verbal advice to the concession- I arles. 1'ntll the management decided to allow Sunday opening It was his duty to keep the Trail elosed. The concession aries never attempted to open by physical force, but they expressed a desire to open, and the past few weeks they advocated very energetically a desire to open. Mr. "Wakefield, in conclusion, said: "I will not permit them to open on' Sundays unless so directed by the management. It is not my personal Judgment." Homer Davenport testified that he read in the Jsew York papers, under large headlines of the adoption of the resolu tion that the Lewis and Clark Exposition would be open on Sundays, and brought his exhibit here, and made the contract with that understanding. The mushroom shows outside of the Exposition referred to by Mr. Reed were In operation on Sundays, while those Inside, which paid large concessions, were closed. Effect of Sunday Closing. Mr. Davenport explained that the effect of Sunday closing was to create the im pression among the public that the Trail was objectionable, which was perfectly natural. He told of having been so In formed by ladles who visited the Fair. "For that reason." said the great car toonist and humorist, "the part we are concerned in Is & failure since the open ing. The Trail will practically close up If this order continues. Those under heavy expense, unless the Exposition takes them on their hands, will close dowTrMo a large extent. They are down to their last raeal tlcKet and can see no money on the horizon. All the zoological exhibits In the gardens of the United States and the world consist of just what I haveried to gather, and Arabian horse?. I have cut out the carnivorous animals, which, are less Instructive." J. A. Gorman, president f the Trail As o elation, testified along similar line a4 mid "our wivfes or families c&a visit any attraction as the Trail." He excepted tfee "fJlv Paree" as t set sch a kick class. and said the "Gay Paree" Is not a ma ber of the Trail Association. Judge Frazer asked If one lmworal. show did not do more barm than any question of Sunday opening, and proceed ed to express an opinion that it was a disgrace and should be closed by the au thorities. Mr. Gorman answered that some persons would patronize the "Gay Paree" show who would not be attracted to another. After some discussion on this point, John F. Logan., attorney, re marked: "It Is not the fault of the plaintiffs, but of the defendants." Judge Frazer then proceeded to Bay that It was purely a question of the con struction of the contracts and the law. The law permitted theaters to open on Sundays, and Mr. Logan contended that the Trail attractions were either theaters or educational exhibits of an entertaining character, and did not come under the law prohibiting Sunday amusements. These, counsel said, comprised objection able Sunday garden, picnics, which the authorities could close. Judge Frazer admitted that there seemed to be considerable apathy on the part of people who desired the Fair closed on Sunday as to other warse forms of Sunday amusements, and said he would examine the law and contracts granted "to the concessionaires. Suit Over Maintenance. -Allegations that J. W. Warnlck and R. Z. Warnlck agreed to keep their sick brother, J. F. Warnlck. as long as he lived, in consideration that they receive his life insurance money, are made In depositions filed in the State Circuit Court yesterday. The principal deposition is that of E. FX Eaton, of Gentry. Kan., who knew all the Warnlcks. He said J. W. Warnlck agreed to furnish a home for the sick brother in consideration of the J2D00 Insurance, and K. Z. Warnlck re marked that the agreement was a foolish one, because the invalid might outlive them both. J. F. Warnlck moved around and finally went to Spokane, and R. Z. Warnlck made a proposition to George R. Brett to the effect that If he would reimburse R. Z. and J. W. Warnlck for keeping their brother. Brett could have the Insurance money, and he accepted. Brett afterwards had to sue for the money, and the defendants won. The Supreme Court has granted a new trial, and Brett is trying to fortify his previ ous position. Prosecutor for Juvenile Courts. Robert Galloway, law librarian and at torney, at the request of Judge Frazer. has consented to act as prosecuting at torney In the Juvenile Court. The prin cipal cases will be saloon-keepers and dealers In cigarettes who may be ar rested for selling their wares to minors. Heretofore this work has been attended to by Judge Frazer and Assistant Dis trict Attorney Moser. The business of the Juvenile Court has Increased so heavily In the last few weeks that, with the Circuit Court business on hand. Judge Frazer has found It impos sible to give It the time atiJ attention desired. District Attorney Manning's of fice also has been rushed with business and he could not spare any of his as- sants for the Juvenile Court. Mr. Gal loway's services will cost the county nothing. Shows Big Balance. Martin Winch, executor of the will of Amanda W. Reed, deceased, filed his second- semi-annual report in the County Court yesterday, showing $30,271 previous balance on hand. JT5.23 receipts, making a total of J125.437. The disbursements were $56,871. leaving a balance of $89,126. The disbursements include 113,311 taxes. lne Inventoried value of the estate Is JU370.CCO.
