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.

Freight Offices to Be Moved.
The local freight offices of the Ca

from Third street, where offices were

Zn?,V. men to room 208 of the Corbett
building. For some time complaints
wer made by the freight men. eight in
number, who were working in a space
not over six feet square. Their new of

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.

An open meeting of the Oregon Con

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
