Z7. i 1 TEST FEDERAL 0. R. & N. Fighting Limitation on Hauling Livestock. PLANS TO APPEAL CASE Railroad Allefces .Throe Separate (Jrounds on Which 28-Hour Stat ute Is Unconstitutional. Sealed Verdict Keady. The constitutionality of the Federal statute reM riot Inst the time that stock . may be carried on railway trains to 2S consecutive hours without rest, food and water, was raised In the Federal Oourt by the O. R. & N. Company yesterday with the purpone, it is believed, of test- In the law In the United States Su preme Court. ' The case was the first one brought- in tills district for violation of the a-hour law. Tills act. adopted by Congress in I!M. requires railroad companies to un load stock in suitable pens, after having been cn transit not to exceed 2S hours, for a rest of not less than five hours and for feeding and watering;. The law . contains the provision that upon written request from the owner or agent the . stock may be kept in the cars not to exceed 36 hours. Proceedings .brought upon violations of the law are quasi criminal but a fine only may be imposed of not less than tlOO nor more than 500. Company Admits Guilt. In the suit tried yesterday the O. R. &. X. Company was accused of keeping a carload of hogs, shipped bv Henrv Irvln from Pavette. Idaho, to Portland, en route for 29 hours. Instead of being un loaded for rst. food and water at Pendle. ton or la Grande the hogs were taken to Oayuse. The company admitted that the slock was en route more than 2S hours and in addition to attacking fea tures of the law maintained that an un . avoidable delay resulted from the break ing of a draw pin, and the parting of the train. It is insisted by the railroad, companv that the provision giving the owner of the stock the right to say whether it shall be kept in the cars more than 28 hours is a delegation of legislative, au tliority and therefore unconstitutional. This point had been previously over ruled on demurrer. The act was also attacked on the ground that it controverts amendments 6 and 7 to the United States Constitution. The former provides against the tailing of property without due pro cess of law and the latter preserves the right of trial by jury when the amount in controversy 1-.--H o vi ta.-v.ii,. .1 was a Jury in this case it was maintained that the law did not give the jury the right to assess the amount of the fine and that therefore the right of trial by jury was abrogated. Question of Authority. Whether the trial judge or the jury shall fix the damages in such cases is a somewhat mooted question in the Fed eral Courts. In California, Judge De Haven has ruled that the jury shall de cide if the defendant is guilty and that the court shall fix the penalty in case of conviction. In Colorado. Judge Put nam has ruled that the jury may fix the amount of damages in the event the verdict is "guilty." Judge R. v9. Bean, yesterday, instructed the jury that in the event it found the defendant guilty it should fix the penalty at not less than $100 nor more than J500 It is thought that this ruling may upset the plans of the railroad company In its intended test of the act in the higher courts if the case goes against it. as Judge Bean has ruled that the law makes provision for the very thing that the railroad claims is omitted. The railroad company attorneys also objected yesterday to the admission of testimony from its own train dispatcher, insisting that as the proceeding was quasi-criminal it could not be compelled to produce evidence tending to incriminate Itself. The objection was overruled. The jury was ready to report at & o'clock yes terday but court had adjourned and a sealed verdict will be submitted this morning. A similar case is now on trial with the Southern Pacific as defendant. In this case the railroad company is charged with unloading the stock into an unsuitable pen at Junction City, with the result that the stock did not obtain the needed rest. SALMON CATCH VALUABLE Fish Taken at Oregon City Falls Worth $45,000. The amount of salmon taken at the Oregon City falls this year, according to J. W. Kelly, who runs the launch Bonnie, exceeded the take of forrner years. Mr Kelly brought down to a Portland fish company ISO tons of salmon, valued at W.00O. Mr. Kelly estimates the entire catch this year, between April 16 and May 31, at $45,000. Mr. Kelly says that the fish ladder worked well and thousands of salmon went above the falls. He favors keeping all hatcheries out of the Upper Willam ette and says that with the clear water in the early Spring there will be plenty of salmon. YOUNG AFTER DATA Freight Offices to Be Moved.

Will Show Portland's Need for New Postoffice. BOURNE ASKS FOR FACTS Senior Senator Confident Congress Will Appropriate at Least 91,500,000 for Building In This City. With the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce, Postmaster Toung is pre paring tabulated statements to present to the Congressional ommittee on pub lic buildings and grounds in support of Portland's request for a Federal and Postoffice building appropriation of 2,O00,0O0. These tables will embrace statistics as to Portland's growth during the last nine years, and Its prospective growth In the succeeding ten years; facts as to Its increase in business of all kinds; statements of the amount of money paid out annually as rent by Federal officers who have their quarters outside the Federal building, and the amount of floor space required by them, and other particulars important to the issue. Postmaster Young has received an encouraging letter from United States Senator Bourne, who says: I cannot promise, but I believe (If we can make a good showing regarding the popula tion of Portland and probable increase) that I may get a 2.00O,000 appropriation for the Postoffice. I am working in my own way persistently In this direction. I shall be frer2ilvw,?vlsa-p?,olnJ-ed lf 1 do nt get at least l.aOO.O0O, and then we will have done bet ter than any city of similar size in the country. . . Have a table carefully prepared and send me showing exactly what the growth of Portland In business and population has eeen in the last 10 years, with the estimated probable growth during the next 10 years. i.et the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations work on this. You prepare a table containing information concerning tne Postoffice. I want both tables and briefs " on as possible so as to submit them to the supervising architect and committee on public buildings and grounds, hoping to se cure favorable reports from both at the be ginning of the December term of Congress. The population statistics asked for by Senator Bourne are being made up for the last nine years Instead of ten years, as it was deemed, most feasible to base them on the census reports of 1900, showing the Increase from that time. Postmaster Young- has referred to Senator Bourne the offer of Francis Clarno of Alaskan marble without cost to the Government for the erection of tne proposed Federal building. This marble is located at Ketchikan, Alaska. It is asserted that steamers can be loaded directly from the ledge and the marble laid down in Portland at a cost of 50 cents a ton for trans portation. Mr. Clarno proposes that the Government, if it accepts the offer, get out the material itself and leave the derricks and other machinery on the property when the work is completed, he to. pay the Government 60 per cent of - the cost thereof. It is said the transportation charges on the Wyoming marble, of which the City Hall is con structed, were $7.50 a ton. SPEEDERS' FINES RAISED Judge Van Zante Increases Cash Penalty to Quell Auto Rushes. Another body blow was struck at speed maniacs yesterday forenoon when Municipal Judge Van Zante advanced the penalty for fast driving from $15 to $25 and $50. The minimum fine hereafter will be $25 and the maximum o. Another advance In prices is li able to occur unless auto drivers de velop little more regard for the law. a. Afthur Seer. J. A. Hess and Alfred Akerwlch were the offenders appear in court yesterday. Seer and Akerwich engaged In a race for the right of way out Burnside street, it was shown while Hess rounded the corner of Third and Morrison streets at .30 miles an hour and nearly ran over a woman. All three attempted to explain that their respective machines wouldn't go faster than a snail's pace, but the Judge was dubious and applied the minimum under the new schedule. "Hereafter fix the ball of these auto mobile people at $50 when they are ar rested." Judge Van Zante Instructed Municipal Clerk Milner. The instruc tions were communicated to the police. "I intend to do my share In stopping this spaed nuisance," said the court, in conclusion. ROSE SHOW ON 'THURSDAY Third Annual Event for Clackamas . County Society.

HOXEYMAN- TALKS TO OREGON CONSUMERS' LEAGUE. Miss Mary Montgomery Presides at Open Meeting Rev. J. H. Talbot Speaks. An open meeting of the Oregon Con sumers' League was held yesterday af ternoon in the Y. W. C. A. auditorium. Mis Mary Montgomery presiding. An Interesting address was given by Mrs. v - Honeyman on "The Unequipped Young Woman In Industrial Life " 7Z1 ? she gave the result of consid erable Investigation into the conditions or wage-earning women In department menf' ft,CtOHeS and domesticmoy: ?8- Mrs- Honeyman said In part The well-trained. capable young woman in any line of work Is always in f1d: "I8 lffl:u"y a with the rank and file. Under present conditions it Is only the exceptional grlrl who has a f,"Se. Ka,n any technical knowledge which is at all worth while. The gen eral opinion of employers in all parts of the country seems to be that the ma jority of girls who come directly from the public schools have no Idea of real work, are irresponsible, incompetent and unreliable. In consequence they arf, L,vfn very low wa. become dis satisfied, and drift from place to place either gradually picking up enough knowledge to secure something better or becoming shiftless and a burden to society. "Modern industrial and social changes make It no longer possible for the home to give the girl such training for life as she formerly received there; and the educator is confronted with a two-fold problem. "First, opportunity must be given for women who are never to become wage earners to gain a knowledge of indus trial and social conditions through the introduction of technical and scientific schools and courses. "Secondly, opportunity must be given for women who are obliged to become wage-earners at an early age to receive training which will enable them to en ter some specific industry where con tinued development is possible." The speaker told of schoo's in New York and Boston where private philan thropy is endeavoring to meet the latter problem. As "an entering wedge," she urged the systematic study of the ques tions of industrial education by all members of the league. - The Rev. J. H. Talbot, rector of St. David's Episcopal Church, and formerly a member of the New York Consumers' League, gave an able summary of the work and methods of this organization "The Consumers" League's gospel," he said, is that the consumer is as respon sible for had rnnrtft1nn " - - .
