Complete returns from 21 of the 44 precincts of the county show a close race between McBride and Cosgrove on first choice votes. These 21 pre cincts, which include all the large ones of the county, give McBride 925 on first choice and 3T6 on "second: Cosgrove 837 first and 705 second; Mead 680 first and 602 second. ' Aberdeen gave McBride 381 first choice and 130 second; Mead 290 first and 199 second; Cosgrove 242 first and 270 second. Twenty-eight out of the 44 precincts in this county, including all the large ones, give Congressman Jones a ma jority over Senator Ankeny of 1028. The missing precincts are all counted for Jones. Aberdeen gave the Congressman 622 votes, against 429 for Ankeny. The Congressman lost two precincts, the Fourth and Sixth, the one by 13 and the other by 32. He lost one precinct in Montesane by one vote, but carried the town by a majority of 9. Mocllps, where the senior Senator stopped for a few days during the Summer, gave Ankeny a majority of IS. So far as returns now show. Ankeny carried no other precinct in the county. In Aberdeen, John G. Lewis received 996 votea out of 1129 cast for State Treasurer. In Hoqulam he received 530 votes out of S3j; in Montesano. 248 out of 339. His majority over both his opponents is. so far as now known, 1635 and this will probably run to 2200.

RESULTS IX FIRST DISTRICT p Jones Leads Ankenj Hay Gets Big ger Vote Than Coon. . SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. NX (Special.) The returns from the counties of the First district have been slow in coming in and none have been reported complete. However, the majority of the Seattle pre cincts. Bellingham and most of the larger country precincts have been reported and a, fair idee of the trend of the vote can be obtained. Congressman Jones will have a clear lead of 2iu0 in the district, all counties except King giving him a . big majority. King County gives Ankeny a lead of but this Is offset by the other coun ties. Snell cut in on the Jones vote In King County, getting over W0 votes. For the Governorship. McBride leads on first choice In the district, but his lead is only lfliiO over Cosgrove, the next man, who beats Mead by 2X. This makes it im possible for McBride to land the neces sary 40 per cent, and on second choice Cosgrove has both his competitors badly beaten, having nearly fi the best of It. In King County McBride was first and v. ffuul second Dlaoe. In. trie Lieutenant-Governorship fight, all the in dications point to Hay. While he is beaten for first choice by Morrison and Coon in King County, he comes UP with a fine second choice vote and with the same proportions maintained over the dis trict, he seems to have spoiled Coon s chance for winning on first choice. It Is Impossible to say who leads for State Treasurer, although the fight lies between Erwin and Lewis with the latter' leading by 400 In King County. For Attorney-General Tanner has the big end on first choice with Bell second. On second choice, however. Bell has the highest figure. The total vote in the district was disappointingly small. The Republicans polled about 3S.00O of which 24.000 was obtained in King County. VOTE REPUBLICAN" TICKET Hundreds or Clark County Demo crats Take Part in Primaries. VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 10.

LETTER SENT TO MAYOR City Authorities Notified That Seri ous Objections Will Be Made to Any Infringement of Ex- isting Rights. A fight will be made by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company against the construction of a new bridge across the Willamette River at Madison street under the terms proposed by the City Council. The ordinance passed at Wed nesday's meeting of the Council proposes to annul the traction company's fran chise across the bridge, and provides that the toll of 11200 now levied on the com pany shall be Increased to $15,000 per year. President Josselyn, of the traction com pany, insists that the franchise held by the corporation should not be annulled, and that it has 13 years yet to run. It was a 30-year franchise and was accepted in lieu of a 99-year franchise when the Madison-street bridge was purchased by the city from the Columbia Bridge Com pany and thrown open to the public as a free bridge. President Josselyn holds that before the bonds are disposed of to provide for the construction of a new bridge arrange ments should be made with his company for the surrender of its present fran chise. He admits that the tolls paid by his company are low, and Is willing that they be increased to some extent, but says he will resist the payment of any thing like what is proposed in the new bond Issue. Mr. Josselyn has written a letter to Mayor Lane opening up the whole ques tion. It follows: Sept. 10, 1908. Hon. Harry Lane, Mayor City of Portland, Or. My Dear Sir: I note that at a meeting of the City Council yesterday an ordinance was r-asse! by that body providing- for the sale of the $4.V.Ooo In bonds for the erection of a new bridge across the Willamette River on the site of the present Madison-street bridge. Plea understand that this- company does no wish In any way to obstruct public prog ress in the city, iii which It has vital In terests dependent upon the welfare of the community: but the fact remains that we are the owners of a 30-year franchise on Madi son bridge, which has about 13 years yet to run. This franchise was accepted by our predecessor In Interest. In lieu of a 99-year franchise for the exclusive right to lay rails and operate cars across that bridge; which said franchise was obtained for a valuable consideration paid to the Columbia Street Bridge Company. To further aarist the city In purchasing the bridge and throwing it open to public travel, our predecessor agreed to pay a rental of f 1200 per year for the use of the bridge for the operation of its cars. It Is now proposed to tear down the present bridge and annul our present franchise and to build in place of said structure a new bridge: the act therefor carrying a provision that this company hall pay a minimum of $15,000 per year for the use of the new bridge. We wish to call your attention now, before any further action Is taken by the city in the sale of these bonds, or the construction of the new bridge, that we shall Insist that our present franchise be not changed by the city. We appreciate that the present annual pay ment for use' of the Madison-street bridge is small, and we would be willing to have it In creased to some extent, but we shall resist the payment of anything like what is pro posed In the new bond issue. This action of the Council Is based upon the amendment to the charter adopted at the June election of 1907. relating to the Isjvulng of bonds for construction of this new bridge. While this amendment provided for the issu ing of 4.v.wo In bonds by the city, your attention Is respectfully called to the pro visions of subdivision E of said amendment, by which It Is made the duty of the Execu tive Board, before constructing said bridge, to enter Into negotiations with tlfls company Tor the surremder of Its present franchise and all other right and privileges on the pieoent bridge, and that the City Executive Board Is authorized to enter Into a new con tract with this company and grant a fran chise for. operating care over said bridge for a term of not exceeding 25 years. It is further provided in said subdivision E that in case eald Executive Board shall not make auch an agreement with this company, that In such event said Executive Board may In ltsi discretion temporarily or permanently discontinue or abandon any further steps or proceedings toward the building of said bridge: or may. In Its discretion, proceed to acquire by condemnation, as provided In said amendment 6f the charter. In the name of the city, all franchise rights and privileges owned by this company. The sale of the bonds at this time Is pre mature, for the reason that even If the bonds should be sold. It Is In the power and discre tion of the Executive Board not to construct said bridge at all: and that before the Ex ecutive Board constructs said bridge, it shall enter Into negotiations with this company, looking to the surrender of the present fran chise over said bridge. In addition, your attention Is respectfully called to the fact that the city cannot con demn such franchise, as provided in said amendment of (he charter, because such con demnation would be merely connecatlon, and not condemnation authorized by law. Before said bonds are actually sold, these matters should be determined, so that if pos sible a proper arrangement can be made with this company. I submit whether any fran chise could be granted on action taken by the Executive Board other than as provided bv said amendment to the charter. Tour attention Is also called to the fact that the Executive Board should determine whether thle bridge Is to b built, before the bonds are sold, for the city might be placed In the position of selling Its bonds and re ceiving the proceeeds therefrom without any poer to legally expend the same. The objeot of this letter Is for the purpose of preventing any possible misunderstanding tn the matter before the city has gone to any expense In advertising the sale of bonds, until the matters as referred to above shall have been adjusted, and not for the purpose of obstructing public Improvements. Very truly yours. iMgnea.i o. o. juo.-r.ui.. President. Foster Successor to Coyle. Word has been received here that C. B. Foster, of Toronto, will succeed E. J.

HOLE IS KNOCKED IN LAW (Continued From First Page.) great length the limitations put upon Congress by the Constitution and con cluded as follows: From every point of view which we have been able to approach the question, the unreasonableness and consequent Invalidity of this so-called "commodities clause" is apparent. It invades the rights of the state by striking down the liberty hitherto Innocently enjoyed by Its citizens under the laws and usages of the commonwealth to engage In Interstate commerce to the fullest extent as to all harmless articles, whether owned or not owned by the car rier, and deprives of their property the defendants, contrary to the letter and spirit of the fifth amendment to the Constitu tion. Opens Door to Centralization. If the enactment In question be' war ranted by the commeroe clause of the Con stitution, it is hard to see what bounds may be set to the exercise of that por. It will Indeed be an open door, through which the forces of centralisation hitherto unknown may enter at will, to the over throw of that Just balance between Fed eral and state power, for which the mak ers of the Constitution so wisely provided as an essential to the preservation of our dual form of government. We confine ourselvs to the concrete facts presented by the pleadings in these cases and Intimate no opinion either way as to cases where the property has been ac quired by the carriers subsequent to the passage of the act. For the reasons stated, therefore, these bills In equity are dis missed and the petition for writs of man damus on the law side of this court are denied. Judge Dallas, in his opinion, said that he fully concurred In the foregoing. Prior to the clause going Into effect, the anthracite coal carrying railroads went before the Interstate Commerce Commis sion and said that they could not comply with the clause without making great sacrifices. Thereupon the Government agreed not to enforce the clause until a decision was had upon law points involv ing its constitutionality. Contentions in Test Case. The Department of Justice then filed a bill in equity upholding the Government's contention that the clause was constitu tional. The railroads. In their answers. declared the clause to be conflscatedly discriminating and a prohibition and not a regulation; that it deprived the railroads of "liberty and property," and violated a right reserved to the states. The interstate commerce act provides a penalty not to exceed $5000 for each viola tion of the clause. During the argument it was contended by the defendants that each car of coal shipped in violation of the clause could be construed under the act as an offense and, as the Lehigh Val ley Railroad shipped daily 1200 cars of an thracite coal In Interstate commerce, that railroad, under such an Interpretation, would be liable to a fine of $6,000,000 each day. GOVERNMENT , WILL APPEAL Fight Case to Finish Serious Ef fect of Decision. WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. That an ap peal doubtless will be tajcen within 60 days directly to the Supreme' Court of the United States from today's decision of the United States Circuit Court at Philadelphia, declaring unconstitutional the commodities clause of the Hepburn act, was the statement of Acting Attorney-General Russell today. The action of the Philadelphia court created wide inter est at the Interstate Commerce Commis sion and the Department of Justice. In terstate Commerce Commissioner Judson Clements expressed the hope that the de cision rests upon some curable defect in the language of the clause. He said: I don't know the grounds upon which the clause in question Is held by the court to be unconstitutional. I cannot, therefore, discuss the decision except to say that I trust It is not upon the broad ground that CongTess has not the power to prohibit carriers engaged In Interstate oommerce from carrying their own products In com petition with their patrons. So long aa this practice la permitted the temptation to discriminate Is ever present and too strong for resistance. The Indirect meth ods of discrimination are numerous and past finding out In many Instances until they have done their deadly work. It has been overwhelmingly shown that the practice has resulted In Intolerable conse quences. During Senator Knox's term as Attorney-General, an act was passed upon his recommendation and approved June 29, 1906, providing' for expediting such cases and assigning them for hearing at the earliest practical day, and it is declared that they shall have priority of hearing and determination by the Supreme Court of the United States over all otfier except criminal cases. Attorney-General Bonaparte is out of the city. Acting Attorney-General Rus sell, In the absence of any specific in formation on the subject, said he had no doubt that an appeal will be taken within the 60 days provided by law.
