Will Be Voted On at Next Annual
Meeting Point Out Straight
and Narrow Path for "High
Priests of Justice."
NEW YORK, May 28. A draft of the
proposed canona of professional thics
has been prepared by a committee of
the American Bar Association, and is
being submitted to members of the
Association for suggestions and criti
cisms. The final report, which it is
proposed to base upon the suggestions
and criticisms received will be sub
mitted to the Association as a whole
at the annual meeting, to be held next
August at Seattle, Wash.
In 27 states of the Union there are
codes of ethics more or less complete,
which exist aa a result, either of codi
fication by statutory enactments of
some of the "duties" of lawyers, or of
the action of Bar Associations therein
In adopting canons of professional
ethics. For some years past members
of the Bar Associations have advocated
a movement which should culminate In
an authoritatively declared standard
of professional conduct, which will not
only serve as a guide to the youthful 1
practitioner, but will place the profes
sion before the public in its true light,
and thereby free it from public criti
cism and censure, which have at times
been bestowed upon It as a result of
the misconduct of unworthy men who
have found their way Into its ranks.
Considered Three Years.
A ISA. msa( Inn- si Iia A dsnnla
tlon, the chairman of the executive
commit tee presented a resolution
which was adopted unanimously, pro
viding for a special committee to re
port upon the advisability and prac
ticability of the adoption of a code of
professional ethics uy tne Association.
At tne 19J6 meeting the committee re
ported favorably upon both points, and
at the 107 meeting the Association
directed the committee to prepare a
draft for the proposed canons of pro
fession etnirs. requesting sugges
tions and criticisms of all members of
the American Bar. In submitting its
report the committee says:
The foundation of the draft for canons of
ethics Is the code adopted by the Alabama
"State Bar Association In 1R87. This draft
represent our bent present Judgment after
a moat careful consideration of the sub
ject. In America where justice relfrns only by
and throujrh the people under forms of law.
It Is essential that the system for establishing-
and dispensing justice not only be
developed to a nich point of practical effi
ciency, but so maintained that there shall
be absolute confidence on the part of the
jjuDiic in ine lairnese, ine integrity ana tnj
Impartiality of Its administration; otherwise
there can be no permanence to our repub
lican Institutions.
Our profession is necessarily 'the key
stone In the arch of republican government,
and the future of the republic, to a great
extent, depends on our maintenance of the
shrine of Justice pure and unsullied. It can
not be so maintained unless the conduct,
and the motives of the members of our pro
fession, who are the high priests of Justice,
aire what they ought to be.
No code or set of rules can be framed,
which will particularise all the duties of the
In all the relations of professional life. The
folowlng canons of ethics are adopted by
the American Bar Association aa a general
guide, yet the enumeration of particular
duties should not be construed as a denial
of the existence of others equally impera
tive, though not specifically mentioned.
The canons deal with the many
problems confronting the lawyer In his
professional conduct. Among the most
important recommendations are the
following:
Defending One Who Is Guilty.
A lawyer may undertake with propriety
the defense of a person accused of a crime,
although he knows or believes him guilty,
and having undertaken it, he Is bound by all
fair and honorable means to present such
defenses as the law of the land permits, to
the end that no person may be deprived of
life or liberty but by due process of law.
Nothing operates more certainly to create
or to foster popular prejudice against law
yers as a class and to deprive the profession
of that full measure of public esteem and
confidence which belongs to the proper dis
charge of Its duties than does the false
claim often set up by the unscrupulous In
defense of questionable transactions, that It
Is the duty of the lawyer to do whatever
may enable him to succeed In winning his
client's cause. A lawyer owes entire de
votion to the Interest of his client, warm
seal In the maintenance and defense of his
cause and the exertion of the utmost skill
and ability, to the end that nothing may be
taken or withheld from him, save by the
rules or inw, legally applied.
Nevertheless, It is steadfastly to be borne
In mind that tne great trust Is to be per
formed within and not without the bounds
of the law The office of attorney does not
permit, much less does It demand for any
client, violation of law or any manner of
fraud or chicanery. No lawyer la Justified
in substituting another's conscience for his
own. A lawyer should not do for a client
what "his sense of honor would forbid htm
to Co for himself.
Treatment of Wit Drew s.
A lawyer should always treat adverse wit
nessea and suitors with fairness and due
consideration, and he should never minister
to the malevolence or prejudices of a. client
In the trial or conduct of a cause. Th
client cannot be made the keeper of the
lawyers conscience in proreseionai matters.
He cannot demand as of right that hit
counsel shall abuse the opposite party or
Indulge In offensive personalities. Improper
speech is not excusable on tne ground that
it is what the client would say If speaking
In his own behalf.
Ethics of Advertising.
The most worthy and effective advertise
ment possible, even for a young lawyer, and
especially with his brother lawyers. Is the
establishment of a well-merited reputation
for professional capacity and fidelity
trust. This cannot be forced, but must be
the outcome of character and conduct. The
publication or circulation of ordinary, simple
business cards, being a matter of personal
taste or utcal custom, and sometimes
convenience. Is not per - Improper. Bu
solicitation of business by circulars or ad
vertisements or by personal communication:
or interviews, not warranted by personal
relations, is unprofessional.
Stirring I'p litigation.
It Is unprofessional for a lawyer to volun
teer advice to bring a la suit, except In
rare cases where tics of blood relationship
or trust make it his duty to do so. Not
only la stirring up strife and Utlsatlon un
professional, but It la disreputable In morals,
contrary to purwio poncy ana indictable a
common law. No one should he permitted
to remain In the profession who hunts up
. defects in titles or other causes of action
and informs thereof In order to be employed
to bring suit, or who breeds litigation by
seeking out tnose wnn claims for personal
Injuries or tnose naving otner grounds
action In order to secure them as clients.
or who employ agents or runners for like
purposes, or who pays or rewards directly
or indirectly those who bring or Influence
the bringing oi sucn cases to nts o trice or
who remunerates policemen, court or prison
officials, physicians, hospital attaches or
others who may succeed, under the guise of
giving disinterested, friendly advice. In in-nucm-lng
the criminal, the sick and the In
jured, the Ignorant or others, to seek his
professional services.
No lawrer is obliged" to act either as ad
viser or advocate for any person who may
wish to pecome bis c-Uenu lie ha the
right to refuse retainers. Every lawyer must
decide what business he will accept as
counsellor, what causes he will bring into
court for plaintiffs, what cases he will con
test In court for defendants. The responsi
bility for advising questionable transactions,
for bringing questionable suits, for urging
questionable defenses. Is ie lawyer's re
sponsibility. He cannot escape it by urging
as sn excuse that he Is only following his
client's Instructions.
Duty in Last Analysis.
No client, corporate or Individual, however
powerful, nor any cause, civil or political,
however Important. Is entitled to receive,
nor should any lawyer render, any service
or advice involving disloyalty to the law
whose ministers we are, or disrespect of the
Judicial office, which we are bound to up
hold, or corruption of any person or person
exercising a puonc on.ee or pmie
or deceDtlon or betrayal of the public.
render I n mv such imnroDCr service oi
vice, the lawyer lavs aside his robe of office.
and In his own person invites and merits
stern and Just condemnation. Corresponding
ly, he advances the honor of bis profession
and the best interests of his client when he
renders service or gives advice tending to
impress upon the client and his undertaking
exact compliance with the strictest principles
of moral law.
He must also observe and advise his client
to observe the statute law. though until a
statute law shsll have been construed and
interpreted by competent adjudication, he is
free and Is entitled to advise aa to its valid
ity and as to what he conscientiously be
lieves to be Its Just meaning and extent.
But above all a lawyer will find his highest
honor in a deserved reputation for fidelity to
private trust and to public duty, as an honest
man and a a patriotic and loyal citizen.
Recommends Xew Oath.
Finishing its report the committee
commends for adoption the following
oath of admission to the bar, as con
taining clearly the general principles
which should ever control the lawyer

Discrepancy of 2S Votes Found In
One Precinct Evidence of Fraud
Leads to Hint ot Crim
inal Prosecution.
NEW TORE, May 2S. When' today's
session of the McClellan-Hearst recount
trial was concluded, a total of 41 votes
ad been added to William R. Hearst s
vnt in th 190a Mayoralty election. The
contents of six boxes were overhauled
in the presertffe of the court and several
discrepancies in the official count were ,
broutrht to lisht.
In one case, while the tally sheet ana
the official canvas figures were identical.
tha pnunt of the ballots disclosed 23
more votes for Hearst than had been
returned. This was the greatest gain
of the day for the Hearst side, the re
turns being found correct in two dis
tricts and errors which added from two
seven to the Hearst total in to
nthers.
The net result of the count lor tne
two days' session has been to give the
contestant for the Mayoralty 68 more
votes than he was credited with receiv
ing, eight ballot boxes recounted adding
this number to the Hearst total.
When the recount of the third box was
completed and the result announced. Jus

sheets? Where are the election inspec

They are in the County Clerk's oince.
replied Mr. Richards, counsel for Mayor

Executive Board Fire Committee Is
Puzzled as to What Kind to Buy
for Chief Campbell.
Bids were opened by the fire com
mittee of the Executive Board yeeter
today for furnishing to -the city an au
tomobile to be used by Fire Chief David
Campbell.
After delving into a oaten or ex
planatory literature and specifications
which accompanied tne Dias or inree
automobile companies, each of which
wish to furnish the car, the members
of the committee confessed themselves
Duzzled. if not "stumped."
Mayor Lane admitted naving a sngni
knowledge of the construction and run
ning powers of a motorcycle, but
openly confessed his Ignorance as to
what went to make up a genuine thor
oughbred automobile. However, Fire
Chief Campbell was present and re
fused to consider such a thing as i
motorcycle in his business, so the
Mayor thought it unnecessary to go
into detail on the cycle subject.
The Studebaker Company proposed to
furnish the city a $5051.50 machine for
13500 flat. A representative of the
company, who was present, stated that
the Studebaker people were willing to
do this for the advertising that there
would be In it.
The Fred A. Bennett Company offered
the city a Premier runabout for $2990
This was the lowest bid, but again the
question arose as to the merita of the
car and the method oi determinini
them.
The H. L. Keats Auto Company of
fered to sell a Pope Hartford runabout
which they valued at $3934.60, with
fixtures, for $3500.
Mayor Lane declared that it had been
brought to his attention that Andrew
Carnegie used a Studebaker machine,
and suggested that for this and other
reasons the bid of the Studebaker Com
pany be given favorable consideration
The Mayor declared that he did not be
lieve that "Andrew" would ride in
poor make of a car, and added that if
the machine was good enough for the
steel magnate It would surely be good
enough for Fire Chief Campbell. The
bids were taken under advisement and
fh the meantime the committee wlli
try to determine the respective merits
of the various cars.
The fact that only three bids were
received came somewhat as a surprise
to the committee, whose members ex
pected that practically all of the auto
mobile houses in the city would be
anxious to make the sale.
FIGHT OUT WIVES' BATTLE
Carman Arrested After Settling
Quarrel With Fellow-Workman.
Joh.n Travers and L. V. Penners. mot'
ormen on the Fulton line, took up a quar
re! which their respective wives had be
gun, early yesterday morning at the car
barn. The outcome was that Travers
decorated Penners' face and Penners had
Travers arrested.
The wives of the pair are waitresses
at Adams' restaurant, at Savier an
Twenty-third streets. Wednesday night
Mrs. Travers suggested that the diamond
ring worn by Mrs. Penners" husband was
not yet paid for. Mrs. Penners recalled
having given Mrs. Travers clothes last
winter. Other unpleasant things were
said, the quarrel being brought on by
the fact of a misunderstanding in trading
shifts at the restaurant.
The women told their husbands, who
took up the dispute bright and early yes
terday morning with the result already
referred to. Travers had to put up bail
for his appearance in the Municipal Court
today.

SLIGHT FOR WARSHIPS?
Sir. McCusker Takes Cognizance of
. a Surprising Rumor.
PORTLAND. Or.. May 28. (To the
Editor.! I see by The Evening Tele-
eram that none of the commerical
bodies of this city have attempted to
make any preparation for the enter
tainment of. or e-en to extend a cour-
eous welcome to, the officers and men
of what some of our respected fellow
citizens are pleased to term the "mos
quito fleet," which will visit us next
week. Consequently the Elks, very
much to their credit, have decided to
save the reputation and honor of the
city by taking the Initiative in the
matter, and will do everything in their
power to make the visit of that por
tion of the Navy who have honored
us with their presence, as pleasant
as possible. If any of our citizens are
of such small caliber as to believe for
a moment that by offering an Insult
to the officers and men who will be
with us soon, they are revenging them
selves on the Government, or upon any
of our Representatives in Congress be
cause of their inability to force the
President to risk the fleet of battle
ships in our river, they certainly are
deserving of the censure of all fair-
minded people, for instead of wreak
ing the revenge intended, it will bring
upon Portland the contempt of the
world. I know that there la a feeling
here that no effort should be wasted
on the mosquito fleet, as I had writ
ten evidence to that effect, but I
thought that it -was actuated only by
a temporary fit of "spleen, and would
pass away when the sun shone again,
but appearances indicate that It is still
cloudy. 1
I trust that The Telegram is mis
taken in this, and that no deliberated
slight is intended, neither does The
Telegram say so directly, but the In
ference to be drawn from the article
in last night's paper would tend to
point in that direction.
For fear that there might be some
thing in it, I would respectfully call
the attention of his honor, the Mayor
to this before it is too late to do any
thing, and request him to devise some
form of entertainment at the Armory
or at some of our leading hotels, and
let- him ask our citizens to contribute
for such entertainment, and 1 feel cer
tain that they will respond with alacrity.

What About
Salmon P
r otection ?
That the food fish of our state need better protection than is now afforded is agreed.
You have already or doubtless will receive .considerable literature on the subject, but no matter how attractive
the argument, stop and consider how much it may be- colored by self-interest. '
The United States Bureau of Fisheries are the greatest expert authorities on the subject and have JsO AX TO GKLND.
Read what they say:
Department of Commerce and Labor
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, WASHINCTON, D. C
Hon Charles W. Fulton, ,
United States Senate,
"Washington, D. C. . ' ' .
Sir: The Department realizes the importance of the various questions affecting the salmon fishery m the Columbia
River brought up in your letter of the 18th ultimo, and has taken this opportunity to make a thorough investigation of
the matter. There can be no question that the status of the fishery is unsatisfactory, and that under existing conditions
the trend may be expected to be steadily downward, with the result that in a comparatively few years the run of salmon
in that stream will be reduced to such a degree that thousands of fishermen may be thrown out of employment and much
capital rendered idle. The Federal Government is without any jurisdiction whatsoever in the premises and the duty
of conserving the salmon supplv in the Columbia devolves on the States of Oregon, "Washington and Idaho; but this
Department has been charged by Congress with important fish-cultural operations in the Columbia basin, and has felt
impelled from time to time to direct attention to the necessity for giving adequate protection to the various species of
salmon frequenting that stream. The Department is convinced that the run of salmon in the Columbia can be amply
maintained for an indefinite period if artificial propagation is supplemented by rational protection ; but artificial propa
gation alone cannot cope with the situation, and, as a matter of fact, the recent experience of the Department has shown
that its beneficial labors are rendered almost futile -by the failure of the states to appreciate this fact.
The Department sees no reason for advocating the elimination of fish wheels from the river, as there is no evidence
to show that this form of apparatus is particularly destructive of salmon. A condition that is specially favorable for the
passage of salmon namely, very high water renders tae wheels unserviceable and, on the other band, penod3 of very
low water, when the fish are much restricted in their movements, are also unfavorable for the wheels. During the past
two or three seasons the catch of salmon by wheels has been comparatively small; but even if it were very large it would
be a fact of no special significance in the present connection.
The Columbia River is, however, made to yield a quantity of salmon far greater than regard for the future supply
permits and the drain is yearly becoming more serious. No one familiar with the situation can fail to appreciate the
menace to the perpetuity of the industry that is furnished by the concentration of a tremendous, amount of fixed and
floating apparatus of capture in and near the mouth of the river. This apparatus comprises about 400 pound nets or traps,
over 80 long-sweep seines, and more than 2200 gill nets, the last having an aggregate approximate length of over 570
miles - and these appliances capture more than 95 per cent of the fish taken in the Oregon and Washington waters of the
river 'the figures of 1904 being nearly 34,000,000 pounds, .or 98.7 per cent of the total yield. Under such conditions, it is
self-evident that but comparatively few fiah. are permitted to reach the upper waters where the spawning grounds are
The details of the measures necessary to place the salmon industry of the Columbia River on a permanent basi3
cannot be elaborated by the Department at this time, but in general it may be said that there should be (l)a restriction
on the amount of apparatus employed in a given section; (2) an adequate weekly close season covering possibly two days
at first but reduced later if the circumstances warrant it; (3) an annual close season, preferably at the beginning of the
salmon' run, and (4) joint arrangements between the States, so that protective measures may be harmonious.
Respectfully yours,
"(Signed) OSCAR S. STRAUS, Secretary. ,

ADDS TO ROLLING STOCK
CANADIAN MNE BTJUiDING TEN
BOXCARS DAILY. '
Equipment Necessary In Order to
Handle Wheat Crop That Is
Increasing Each Tear.
While American railroads are not add
ing a single boxcar to their equipment
and have their sidings filled with empty
freight cars, the Canadian Paciflo is
steadily increasing its rolling stock, both
passenger and freight. The Angus shops
of the Canadian line are now turning out
ten box cars a day and are building pas
senger coaches at the rate of rive a
week. Until lately locomotives were be
ing built at the rate of one every five
days, but sufficient motive power was
added in this way and the construction
of more engines has been discontinued
for the present.
The Canadian Pacific also has miles of
empty freight cars on Its lines, and It
is considered somewhat remarKaDie tnat
it should be adding constantly to its roll
ing stock, -.lis is explained, however,
by the fact that the management of the
Canadian Pacific is making these prep
arations to handle the season's grain
crop, which establishes new records every
year in the rapidly growing Canadian
Northwest. The wheat movement alone
at harvest time now calls for double the
total equipment the Canadian Paciflo had
five years ago.
Indications are 'for a bumper crop
throughout the Canadian territory served
by the Canadian Pacific Railway, and
unusual plans are under way to meet
the demands that will be made upon the
line to care for this traffic. Today the
Canadian Pacific is probably the only
railroad on the continent that is adding
largely to Its equipment in the face of
the prevailing business depression, and
the consequent light demands that are
made upon the railroads.
