Value and Revenue at Custom
Hour Exceeds $53,000 for

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

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

before accredited this port.

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.

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

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

cepted an invitation to deliver the prin

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

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. This disease yields completely to my mild and painless
method, and results are far better than were ever attained by the harsh
and dangerous practice of cutting. But one week Is required, and sel
dom is it even necessary to detain the patient from his business.
CONSULTATION AND DIAGNOSIS FREE
I do not charge for advice, examination or diagnosis. f you call for
a private talk with me, you will not be urged to begin treatment. If
impossible to call, write.
