IN MORNING MAY TAKE CASE TO COURTS VALIANT SCOUTS TO FIGHT SHERMEN WILL d il oday "Labor Pay Both 'Wheelmen and Gillnetters Contend They Should Be Al- - lowed to Take Salmon by Virtue of State Licenses. Endless complications, resulting In expensive litigation, are certatn to fol low the announced intention of H. C. McAllister. Oregon's Master Fish War den, strictly to enforce the provision of the two initiative bills enacted by the voters of this state last June. Fish ermen along the river have declared that they will not observe the laws, notwithstanding ther fact that scores of warning notices have been posted at available points on the river by tne Master Fish Warden. If arretted, they threaten to carry the laws into the courts for a legal opinion as to the constitutionality of these statutes. By the terms of the bill proposed by the Lower River fishermen, all fishing in the Columbia River above the mouth of the Sandy Is prohibited except by hook and line, after September 10. This bill virtually puts the wheelmen, oper ating on the Upper Columbia, out of business, as it was intended to do. The measure proposed by the Vp-Rlver wheelmen and enacted by the people of the state, places serious limitations on the operations of the gillnetters on the Lower River. Formerly the closed season prevailed from August 25 to . September 10, and after the latter date Ashing was allowed as long a any were to be caught, up to March 15, when there was a closed Spring season of 30 days. But under the new law. fishing on the Lower River is allowed only from September 10 to October 1, when the closed season Is to be en forced for the ensuing three months, or until December. 31. Salmon may then be taken until March 15. when the Spring closed season begins and con tinues until April 15. Both Sides Resist Law. Wheelmen and gillnetters alike will resist the enforcement of the two laws enacted by the people last June. They Insist that to shut them off from fish ing as is proposed amounts to a confis cation of their property and to an un due restriction of their means of earn ing a livelihood. Both classes of fisher men hold state licenses, which do not expire until March 31. next. Neither of the two bills provides for reimburs ing the bolder of the license for the unused portion of his permit, and it la proposed by the fishermen to defy the law and continue to fish as formerly. "We hold licenses from the state which entitle us to continue our fish ing operations on the river until March 31 r.ext." said a canner yesterday. "On the strength of that assurance, we have contracted for labor for the same pe riod. Now. the people of the state, vot ing under the initiative on bills the nature of which they never understood or cared about, have undertaken to pSM laws which practically puts us out of business, without compensating us in any way. not even providing for a reimbursement of the unused portion of our licenses. "Under the state statutes, we are held personally liable for all such labor contracts. Is there any good reason why the great State of Oregon should not be compelled to recognize and live up to the terms of Its contract with the fishermen, for that is what our licenses amount to they are nothing more nor less than a contract between ourselves and the state, by which we pay for the right of fishing In the waters over which the state has Jurisdiction. "While in Cathlamet. Wash., last week I was told that anv attempt on the part of the Oregon state authori ties to prevent Washington fishermen from fishing for salmon in the Columbia River, either on the Washington or the Oregon side of the river, would be op posed. Washingtonlans do not indorse initiative legislation in Oregon that proposes to circumscribe the rights of the citizens of a neighboring state. The Attorney-General of Washington has assured the fishermen of that state that the state will back them up and will protect them from arrest and prosecution by the Oregon officials. Means Strife Between States. "The minute a fisherman residing In Washington is arrested by the Oregon authorities, the officials of the former state propose to take the matter into the United States Court and there test the two prohibitive fish laws which have been adopted by the people of Oregon. They will seek not only to prove both of them unconstitutional, but during the pendency of tne suit will ask for an Injunction restraining the Oregon authorities from interfering with the Washington fishermen until the validity of the new laws can be determined. "It is this phase of the situation to which the Oregon fisherman takes se rious and warranted exception. Why 1 should the fisherman living In this state be compelled to sit Idly by and see his Washington neighbor have the exclusive fishing privileges of the Co- lumbia River? From what I have heard Oregon fishermen say, I do not think that they will, and it is barely possible that the fishing interests of this state may take the initiative and test the law by the same procedure threatened by the Washington fisher men, if any attempt is made by the authorities in this state to oust them from their fishing preserves." With both of the warring factions of fishermen In this state disappointed with the result of their own efforts at popular legislation, it is reasonably certain that the confused condition of affairs now existing will result in both sides Joining in proposing some needed legislation at the meeting of the State Legislature next Winter. After their experience of last June, the rival in terests are willing to submit their troubles to the State Legislators and at the same time resign as embryo law makers. ADDRESSES BY EDUCATORS Programme for the Russellville Institute Being Prepared. E. C.

Is comDletinn-Hut Bravrtmmi Pre' It is announced that Buffalo Bill has prepared an entirely new exhibition for his home-coming 'tour, after four vun ahroal. . While, of course, the general Ktvle will be the same, there will be a change of scenic features, dif ferlng from any that have been seen with the show durlnar the 25 years it hum heen before the DUbliC. Colonel William F. Cody, the last of the sreat scouts, will , appear in the J. D. M. Crockwelr, Who Will Be Chairman of Labor Uay Cele bration. saddle at every performance, leading bin" Congress of Rough Riders In some remarkable exhibitions of expert horsemanship. The chief scenic feature will be the Battle of Summit Springs, a reproduction of one of the deciding conflicts In Indian warfare; a battle in hlch Colonel Cody participated and in which he shot and killed Chief Tall Bull. Another pantomimic melodrama 111 be the great train hold-up. In which will be depicted the robbery of train a practical engine, cars and a realistic and true-to-llfe representation of one of the many scenes of lawless ness which the West has known. In a holiday at T-E Ranch will be pictured the pleasures and pastimes of the plainsman, cowboy sports and a dance upon the -green. The contrast to this scene of peaceful revelry will be shown in a sudden attack by In dians. The Rough Riders will display themselves In difficult feats of horse mnnship. In short, there is no other entertainment like Buffalo Bill's Wild West, and after 25 years before the public it is more popular than ever. and In every way better equipped than before. THEFT OF $150 IS CHARGED Employe of Sanatorium Is Wanted at Spokane. . Charged with theft of J1P0 from an em ploye of the Medical Lake asylum, near Spokane, A. B. Gilson. an employe of the Crystal Springs Sanatorium at Mount Tabor, was arrested yesterday by De tective Heliyer. Instructions to arrest Gilson were telegraphed from Spokane. He wag taken in custody and lodged In the City Jail, where he wept bitterly. The charge Is purely a malicious one. he says, and has no foundation. His accuser Is Robert King, who Is in charge of a ward at the Medical Lake Insti tution, who alleges that Gilson stole $160 from his trunk. There is absolutely no truth to the charge." said Gilson last night. "If 1 had done anything of the kind I would certainly have gone farther than Port land. I came here from Spokane a month ago and have been working steadily ever since. I do not know why King should make such a charge against me."

Rain or ehine, Portland's trade union ists axe resolved to carry out their pro-, grame In celebration of Labor Day today. Various subcommittees worked all day yesterday so that the smallest detail In connection with today's demonetisation has been arranged. The laboring people promise a more Imposing exhibition than was given last year, when the event was celebrated formally In Portland for the first time. They recognize that the suc cess of the day's exercises has been made more certain from the voluntary action of practically all of the retail and whole sale houses, which have agreed to sus pend business for the day in order that their employes may participate in the festivities. J. D. M. Crockwell. of the Electrical Workers, wv.o will be chairman of the day. and M. L. Mathers, grand marshal. conferred yesterday with the various sub committees and the members of the gen eral committee so that the day's pro gramme will move with clock-like pre cision. Union labels will be la evidence everywhere while the union rules and regulations also will be recognised. But in this connection the day's programme in volves a flagrant violation of the eight hour law, for there will be something doing from 10 A. M., when the street pa rade starts, until midnight, when the grand ball, in the Oriental building at the Lewis and Clark jfair grounds, will conclude the day's celebration. Everything Is in readiness for the Labor Day exercises tomorrow." said Chairman Crockwell yesterday. "Specta tors may depend on seeing the street pa rade move promptly at 10 o'clock tomor row morning, for there wUI be no delay. The same will be true of the other ex ercises of the day which will be pulled off punctually and according to the time announced for each event. We have spent considerable time and effort decorating the Oriental building at the fair grounds In which the literary exercises and the grand hall will be held. This building will be a blaze of attract ive colors during the day and e. flood of light et night. Reports received) from the various labor unions of the city are to the effect that several thousand union men and women will take part in the street parade and attend the exercises which will be held during the afternoon at the Lewis and Clark exposition grounds." The forenoon will be devoted entirely to the street parade. At 1 o'clock tomor row afternoon, literary exercises will be held in the Oriental building when ad dresses will be delivered by Governor Chamberlain, Mayor Lane and W. S. U'Ren and by three labor organisers, C. O. loung, j. Lewis ana u. A. white. An elaborate programme of sports will be held on the exposition grounds during the afternoon. Aside from miscellaneous con tests, there will be a tug-of-war, slide for life, baseball game and balloon ascension. Dancing In the Oriental building will be gin at 4 f. ja. and continue until mid night. There will be a prize waltz and a prize two-step. MANCFRS' MISTAKE!

Troubles so Strongly In Evidence at Recent Convention Are Still Present. Both claiming to be the State Spiritual ists' Association of Oregon, two spirit ualists' conventions closed their sessions yesterday, one at the Marquam building and the other in "Women of Woodcraft building, Tenth and Taylor streets. Nu merically, the Marquam building meet ing was the real thing, compared with the other one. Which of the two contestants is right. and how little "Bright Eyes"- feels about all this trouble, no one is competent to say. However, the courts will decide which of the two has the right to call Itself the State BplrltuallstB' Association of Oregon. Harry Yanckwlch, leader of the Mar- quttm building band of occult seekers. claims that his Is the only ligitimate con vention and his followers contend that ail the delegates in the city are attending their convention. Mrs. Sophie B. Kelp, the belligerent and battle-scarred leader of the other faction, insists that hers Is the only true conception of spiritualism and that the other crowd Is merely a set of "schemers, using their religion to make money." Both conventions held all day sessions yesterday, the meetings being in the na ture of religious or devotional services. WILL MEET SEATTLE BANKERS TODAY a"' .ty -.-ss-- , .- z -a. 1 t i :' - i J "!

The Marquam building convention de voted the morning session to what is termed a conference, but In ordinary re ligious circles Is known as church ser vices. Talks and addresses on higher spiritualism were delivered by a number of delegates. The afternoon meeting was the really sensational session of the convention. It was then that the spirits of the dead were called, and many wonderful tests are said to have been made. An un known woman attended the afternoon session and one of the demonstrators la said to have put her in communication with her dead husband. The demonstra tor is supposed to have known nothing of the woman's history or name, but is said to have not only told the name of her husband but to have delivered sev eral messages to the "bereaved widow. Last night's session was devoted to lectures and addresses. A " lecture ' by Rev. James D. Corby, pastor of the First Unlversalist Church, was the feature of the session. At the conclusion of Ills address officers were installed, as fol lows: President, Mrs. M. A. Congdon; vice-president, A. Cowperthwaite; secre tary, Mrs. Emily Ii. Driscoll; treasurer, John E. Trigg: trustees, W. H. Arm strong, Althea Bailey, F. E. Dunton, J. T. Taylor, and" George Lazelle. Thirty recognized delegates were In attendance at the Marquam building meeting. During Saturday's session, a resolution was adopted supporting the Mayor and Council in passing the Cottell ordinance which prohibits media from advertising that they are able to reconcile lovers.' quarrels, foresee the results of mining Investments, and solve other difficult problems. At Women of Woodcraft hall, John Slater was the chief attraction. He de livered a lecture last night. Bennett, 3b. - lib ,,1 i t -il w Jfe-V r , I ili iiisi3 - t'V !J '?' , i iT rill!

Members of the Photo-Engravers and the Stereotypers' and EHectrotypere' Unions, accompanied by their families and numbering, In the aggregate, 150, held their first annual Joint picnic yesterday at Sauvie's Island. The trip was made on the steamers Rose City and Eva and was enjoyed despite the threatening weather. This was not allowed to Interfere with the programme of sports, which was car ried out as arranged. The principal event. however, and to which all did credit, was the excellent picnic dinner served at the noon hour. The sport programme was started with a friendly boxing match between Jack Allen, of the Photo Engravers, and Adam Henderson, of the Stereotypers. No de C'.sion was clven. The Photo-Engravers won the baseball game by a score of 14 to 7, only to lose the tug-of-war conteet to the Stereotypers. In the fat men's race, contestants weiging 180 or more, Leonard Lesley won the first prize, a $3 hat. There were numerous other races and other athletic contests, all of which contributed to a most pleasant day's out ing. WILL TIE TRAPS TO SHORE Owners Devise Plan by Which They -II Hope to Fish In Fall. ASTORIA, Or., Sept. -.(Special.) As the Oregon Fish Warden has given in structions to his deputies to seize all gear found fishing below Smith's Point after September 10. when the initiative laws become effective, with the excep tion of what is attached to the Wash ington shore, the trappers on the north side of the river have devised a scheme by which they hope to avoid prosecution. In an effort to come within the pro- 6 1 .! a J t i I. SJ Mi It m i&rm visions of the Oregon law, the north shore traps which are to be operated this Fall will be equipped with 'a cable! or line running from one of the outer piling to the' land, where It will be made' fast. This, It Is claimed, will show that; the traps are "attached to the shore." ! While the scheme Is of course merely a ! subtfirfuge to avoid being drawn into the controversy, it may p-ove sufficient to protect the trapowners. To Be Tried for Anto Robbery. ABERDEEN, Wash..
