WELL El ports Run Over SS, OOO, OOO In Value and Revenue at Custom Hour Exceeds $53,000 for tbe Past Month. From present Indications there will be few charters signed up for some time, owing to sn excess of tonnage on the Coast and the nigh rate. A number of circumstances combine to keep Oriental trade below normal, the principal one being the bad financial condition In Japan. Owing to the high price of wheat and low value of silver In the Orient, tne prospect Jor flour trade with that port of ttie world Is anything but good. There are. hon-ever. enough vessels taken to keep shipments for the remainder of the season up to the new record made In the last two months, and when' final lipures are compiled for the cereal year Indications are that Portland will not only have established itself as next to the largest foreign exporter of grain, but will push Itself so far in advance as to attract the attention of tbe grain centers of the world In a manner never before accredited this port. Already this port's figures are so high that if no new business develops the dosen or more vessels cleared foreign in the month of September Indicate what the cereal year will show. For the month, as "will be seen by an examina tion of the following report of the Custom-House, the value of exports during September Is in excess of Ji.O00.0w): Vessels enaered from foreign ports, l; ves sels cleared, for foreign ports, 14; vessels entered from domestic ports. 70 vessels cleared for domestic ports, 47; entries of merchandise for duty, 108; entries of mer chandise free of duty. 19; entries for ware house. ; entries fur warehouse and expor tation. 1: entries for export te adjacent British provinces. 1; entries for re-war. house. 2; entries from warehouse for con sumption, 47; entries from warehouse for eiportatlon. 1; entries for Immediate trans portation without appraisement, S: total number of entries of merchandise. 20S; en tries for consumption liquidated. 100; en tries for warehouse liquidated. 11: certifi cates of registry granted. 1; certificates of enrollment granted. 2: licenses for coasting trade granted. 2: total number of documents to vessels Issued. &.

' LONG ARGUMENTS DURING LID TRIAL Attorneys for Defense Ridicule Provisions of Sunday Law. ATTACK CAMERON'S MOTIVE Judge Gantenbein Reserves His De cision District Attorney Fijrhts for Enforcement of Blue Laws. - Ridiculing the present Sunday law, which makes it lawful to buy meat on the first day of the week but a crime to purchase from a grocery store the salt to go with it, and which, while permit ting streetcars to run, makes a criminal of the man who sells a newspaper on Sunday morning. Attorney John F. Lopan argued for an hour and a half before Presiding Judge Gantenbein in the Cir cuit Court yesterday afternoon for cigar dealers and confectioners arrested by Dis trict Attorney Cameron. The court re served decision. Argument pro and con upon the ques tion has beea brought about by the se curing , of an injunction restraining the District Attorney from arresting any more violators of the blue laws. This injunction was secured by the indicted storekeepers last Saturday and 'was de murred to by Judge Cameron. It canie up for hearing yesterday, the two. sides taking the entire day to state their po sitions and cite authorities. Upon the side of the state was District Attorney Cameron and his deputy, J. J. Fitzgerald, while the violators of the blue laws were represented by W. C. Bristol, James Glea son and John F. Logan. Although the District Attorney opened the argument yesterday morning, he held some authorities In reserve, thus placing he Sunday law violators on the aggres sive. Says Act Is I'nfair. N Mr. Logan said that the Oregon Sunday law was originally entitled. "An Act to Prevent the Profanation of Sunday." He said it is absurd to make It a crime to sell eatables on Sunday and at the same time make It lawful to put before the public "a play which shows more of a woman's anatomy than is customary." Mr. Logan said that the District Attor ney might argue that this could be done under police power, but that it is no ex cuse for the law. "That little woman who keeps a delicatessen open on Sun day is one whom we need never fear will run pool rooms, dancehalls or North End arrangements," continued Mr. Logan. He argued that one might as well say that It Is a crime for the West Side to do busi ness on Sunday, but perfectly proper for the East Side. The present law permits a man to load his wares on wagons and peddle them on Sunday, It was argued, but prohibits him from vending them in a store. "In 1864," said the attorney, Oregon had a sweeping Sunday law, but' it was found so obnoxious that a special session of the Legislature was called and the present law framed and passed. The Btatute existing before that special ses sion was a sweeping one, something similar to the present Idaho Sunday law. In that Legislature of long ago there was probably a butcher, a baker and the keeper of a llverystable, which would account for these lines of business being exempted by the statute which they passed. "It's no sin for a peddler to yell hjs lungs off on the first day of the week, but it's a crime to sell a stick of candy. It's no crime for the girls to kick up their heels at the theater,, that isn't pro faning Sunday nor for a butcher to swab out his shop, nor for men to clean out livery stables, but It's an awful crime to sell a cigar. I submit. Your Honor, that that Is class legislation and, therefore, unconstitutional. Attacks Cameron's Motives. "District Attorney Cameron has just awakened from the lethargy with which he and his predecessors have been doped for the last 40 years. But I do not think he is sincere in his efforts to put small shopkeepers in jail. I give George J. Cameron credit for trying- to write this law off the statute books by enforcing it to the letter, and thereby getting this court to hold that it Is oppressive, not police regulation, and against the first article of the bill of rights of Oregon. I know that upon this demurrer your honor can hold nothing less. If there was rnything that ever showed a law un constitutional, this case has done so. If there ever was a complaint that set out the facts honestly, fairly and so intelli gently that the commonest laborer in the land could understand them, the com plaint in this case has done it." To the contention of Judge Cameron, made yesterday morning, that under the 11th amendment to the United States Constitution, the violators of the blue laws have no right to attack the State of Oregon, Mr. Logan said that they are not attacking the state, but Mr. Cameron himself, in the effort to have the Injunction made permanent, thus forever restraining him from enforcing the Sunday closing law. In upholding their right to bring ac tion against the- District Attorney, the attorneys for the defense cited two cases, one in which William J. Bryan appeared for the appellants and lost the case, and the other in. which Bryan's running-mate, John W. Kern. lost. Troperty Rights Attacked. Attorney Bristol argued yesterday morning that the tradespeople who keep their establishments open, on Sunday make about three times. as much on that day of the week as npon the other six, and tlsst if their stores are closed on that day, they will be compelled to go out of business. He said that this Is a transgression of property 'lights. Besides, he said, those who patronized the stores have to work on the other six days, and It is a convenience to them to have the stores open on Sunday. . Mr. Bristol said a strict Interpretation of the law would require that about 60 lines of business, besides those enumer ated In the law. close on Sunday. Many changes, he remarked, have taken place ln"Oregon since the passage of that anti quated statute. Judge Cameron. In his argument, quoted from a decision handed down by Judge Wolverton. in the United States Court, which made the point that the Oregon Sunday law does not legislate against any special class. Deputy District At torney Fitzgerald closed the state's ar gument and Judge Gantenbein took the case under advisement. Several days will probably elapse before a decision is handed down. ORDERED TO SIPPORT WIFE Troubles of Puckett Family Largely Due to Neighbors. Nearly all the conductors on the East Ankeny carllne carry daggers or re volvers for self -protection, according to the statement of Tilly O. Puckett, made on the witness-stand before Judge Webster, of the County Court, yester day morning. Puckett was formerly employed on this line. He was brought Into court on a non-support charge made by his wife. In giving her testi mony, she said that her husband car ried a dagger, and that she was afraid he would kill her. Puckett defended his position by saying that he had good reason for doing so, as it was necessary for him to be out late at night. His testimony brings to mind the holdup of an East Ankeny car and the murder of the motorman. when, with the conductor, he attempted to fight the robber-without being armed. Testimony offered by the Pucketts was to the effect that at one time, when the wife was sick, and it was necessary for her to be taken to a local hospital for an operation, the neigh bors spread the rumor that Puckett in tended by this means to kill her. Judge Webster took occasion to remark that the sensible thing would be for the couple to reconcile tMemselves to each other, and move from the neighbor hood. The wife said her husband left her four days after she was taken from the hospital. Witnesses also tes tified that she attempted to commit suicide by taking iodine. The. court decided that the husband must give a $300 bond, and must pay his wife $25 a month. WOMAX SUES FOR DAUGHTER "Will Ask Writ or Habeas Corpus-for Her Return. Mrs. Annie Foster, 'who sought to obtain th,e custody of her seven-year-old daughter by appealing to the Fed eral Court for a writ of habeas corpus, finds, that she must exhaust her rights in the lower courts before bringing ac tion in the United States Circuit. Court. The matter came lip before Judge Wolverton yesterday. Mrs. Foster re cites in her petition that in January, while suffering from an Illness from which she did not expect to recover, she made arrangements with a Hattie Myers to care for her child and that after - her recovery she demanded the return of her daughter. This was re fused. Hattie Myers alleging that Mrs. Foster was not a fit person to care for the child. Mrs. Foster's attorney says he will sue in the Clackamas County courts for the writ. DR. DAVIS FILES XEW SUIT Demands $40,000 Because of Al leged Libel in Editorial. Dr. L..M. Davis lias filed in the Cir cuit Court an amended complaint against the Journal Publishing Com pany, in which he demands $40,000 damages for alleged libel. . Davis as serts that after the appearance In that paper of an editorial denouncing him as a Statement No. 1 legislative candi date, as a moral weakling and deserter of the statement, people called him up on the telephone and threatened him bodily harm. Because of these threats the result, he says, of the editorial, he could not sleep without using opiates and other drugs. Dr. Davis values his physical and mental suffering at $20,000. injury to his reputation and social standing at $10,000 and loss of his opportunities for election to any other political office at $10,000. COOK IS GIVEN" VERDICT Jury Finds Him Guiltless of Slan dering R. A. Marshall. Although accused by R. A. Marshall of making the statement that "he. Mar shall, is a thief and ought to be In the penitentiary, and I can put him there," C. -J. Cook will not be obliged to pay the $10,000 which Marshall demanded for alleged slander. A Jury in Judge Cle land's department of the Circuit Court returned a verdict for the defendant last night after beir.g out about a half hour. Marshall was a member of the firm of Marshall Brothers, cement contractors. Cook was the proprietor of a sand com pany, to whom the contractors were in debted. The latter went into bankruptcy last March. It was asserted that Cook made the charge against Marshall at a meeting of the creditors held in C. W. Murphy's office in the Fenton building. Box Company Is Sued. Caught in a ragged belt which he was endeavorng to place upon a swiftly-mowing pulley, Thomas J. McFar land, 16 years old, was fatally injured, and Katy Wood, the administratrix of his estate, has now brought suit in the Circuit Court to recover $7500 from the Multnomah Lumber & Box Company, in whose mill the accident occurred. Mc Farland died March 30. It is asserted In the complaint that the box company did not furnish proper appliances. HOPE RAISED BY MESSAGE Democrats Get Cheerful Xews From Headquarters. Nothing could have raised the hopes of Oregon Democracy more than the receipt at headquarters yesterday of a telegram from National headquarters predicting Democratic success in numerous Republican strongholds throughout the East. The telegram re ferred to was addressed to Alex Sweek, state chairman of the Democratic or ganization in this state. It said: j Situation brightening- "Sally. Committee claims New York. New Jersey, Connecticut. Ohio. Indiana. - Wisconsin. Kansas. Nebraska and Colorado, with fighting chances for 1111 nol. Iowa and Minnesota. Committee be lieves Roosevelt's Interference has injured Taft and If he takes stump 'will ba confes sion that situation desperate. The reading of this telegram had the effect of causing one member of the faithful to wager $100 even that Taft would not carry Wisconsin by over 60.000. The bet was covered. During the afternoon It was also announced at Democratic headquarters that money had been posted there to bet that the Republican nominee would not carry Ohio by 10,000.

The South Portland 'Republican'CIub has arranged for a grand rally to be held at Jones' Hall, Thursday night. IT DRAGS YOU SLOWLY DOWN It's hard to keep an even temper with a dull pain nagging all day at your back: in fact, kidney troubles are at the bottom of very much of the nervousness and irritability that are so common today. Tou wonder why you are short and cross, can't keep your mind on one thing, are inclined to worry over trifles, and subject to fits of "blues" and despondency. Partly it is due to that pain' in your back, partly to the Irritating effect of uric acid on your brain and nerves. Uric acid is a poison that is always forming in the body, and it is the duty of the kidneys to. filter it out of the blood and pass it off, dissolved in the urine. Healthy kidneys do this work thoroughly and well, but weak or sick lcidneys get behind, and the waste mat ter collects here and there in the mus cles, Joints and nerve centers- Head ache, dizzy spells, rheumatism, neural gia, blurry spots before the eyes, nerv ousness and heart trouble, are signs of uric poisoning. So do not wonder at your condftlon, especially If the urine does not look or pass naturally. And if your back aches continually. or you are taken with sharp cricks and stitches of pain when you stoop, turn, or try to lift, it is sure October . 22. Senator Fulton has ac cepted an invitation to deliver the prin cipal address. HERRING TO TEST AIRSHIP Disapproves, However, of Making Experiments at Fort Myer. NEW YORK, Oct. 6. A. M. Herring, whose aeroplane is due in Washington next Tuesday, to undergo its preliminary trials and tests for acceptance by the Government, says he will be ready on time. - There is a bare possibility, how ever, that he may be permitted to make some, if not all of his testing flights at some other place then the Fort Myer ground. Personally Mr. Herring Is not pleased with the prospect of flying at Fort Myer. His criticism of the grounds all along, .even before the -Wright acci dent, has been that the available flying circle Is too restricted, necessitating too many and too sharp turns for trying out most successfully and safely a high-speed Mr. Herring makes it known that his preference for long-distance flights will be on the Hempstead Plains, where a wide circuit could readily be obtained. free from trees and buildings, and safe tests made at high speed. Mr. Herring asserts that many of the minor troubles that bothered Orville Wright in his flights previous to the ac cidpnt were due to the necessity of watch- FOR FIMPLES, TOO Nfw Discovery Cores Eczema and Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles Overnight. A few months ago- the dispensers ssf poslam, the new discovery for the cure of eczema, decided to allow the drug gists of the country to handle it. Previous to that time it could only be obtained direct from the laboratories. Since this change in the method of distribution, poslam has met with the most phenomenal success of anything Introduced to the drug trade in the last 30 years. Ail leading druggists, including the akidmore Drug Co., Port land, are now carrying the special 50 cent size recently adopted, also the $2 jar. This great success is not surprising when it is remembered that, in eczema cases, poslam stops the itching with first application, proceeds to heal im mediately, and cures chronic cases in a few weeks. In minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, acne, herpes, blotches, rash, etc., results show after an overnight application. Experi mental samples of poslam are sent to anyone by mail free of cjiarge by the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New Tork City. Is your moutb similar In any way t the above?

As to the Incomes of certain professional MEN'S WEAKNESS I cure all diseases of men by methods of my own devising. These methods are a radical de parture from the ordinary medical practice, which attempts to cure every (11 of mankind by stomach drugging and thus Tcllls more people than are cured. In my practice I do not drug; the stomach at all. but I apply healing; medi cines of my own directly to the diseased region, and thus effect a complete and permanent cure in a very short time. My treatment never fails, as my. unbroken record, covering a period of over 20 years, .fully proves. Don't be practiced and experimented upon by physicians, druggists, elec tric belts and incompetent specialists. My large practice and quick, thorough methods enable me to cure Men's Diseases In half the time and about one-fourth the usual fees asked. My guarantee Is: NOT A DOLLAR NEED BE PAID UNTIL CURED NO STIMULANTS FOR "WEAKNESS " My success In permanently curing- that condition commonly known as 'weakness" fully demonstrates the absolute correctness of my method of treatment, which is a method employed by myself alone. I do not stimulate tha functions to temporary activity by the use of strong Internal medi cines. This is the course commonly pursued by both general practition ers and specialists, and is a treatment that cannot possibly result In a permanent cure. "Weakness" is merely a symptom of chronic inflam mation in the prostate gland brought on by excesses, early dissipation or by the improper treatment of ome contracted disease. A complete and radical cure is therefore a question of rt-storing the prostate gland to its normal state, and this I accomplish promptly and completely with out the use of internal remedies. My treatment is a local one entirely. It Is original and scientific, and has been proved absolutely effective by thousands of tests. I am convinced that by no other method can full and permanent restoration of strength and vigor be accomplished. ' CONTRACTED DISORDERS The serious results that may follow neglect of contracted diseases could scarcely be exaggerated. Safety demands an absolutely thorough cure in the least possible time. I have treated more cases of contrarted disorders than any other physician upon the Pacific Coast My cures are thorough and are accomplished in less time than other forms of treatment require In producing even doubtful results. I employ reme dies of my own devising and my treatment Is equally effective In both recent and chronic cases. VARICOCELE There is no necessity for surgical operations in the treatment of Varicocele.
