In line with tbe views expressed by

until their attention was called to the
difference in areas between Portland and

that the population of Portland on April

additional Inhabitant llvins In the su

ly a portion of the city for comparative
purposes.
-It Is evident to me that Portland has
been treated with scant eouresy by the
census people," aald Mr. Hutchinson yes
terday. "Leaving out ail Chinese and Japanese,
except the merchants of those national
ities. Portland will show lu.(K0 names In

Commenting upon the character of the
Inhabitants of Portland, contrasted with
those of the city on the Sound. Manager
Hutchinson declared that Seattle had a
fl oating population of at least 30 00". and
his estimate of the same clasa in Fort
land waa placed at IS ..
"By a floating population 1 mean a
class of pen-ins who are not permanent
ly located in a city." said Mr. Hutchin
son. "Seattle la so situated aa to
gather a tremendous lot of people either
jromg to the Alaska and northern coun
tries or returning from such places.
These do not cm to Portland, or If
they do they simply pass through. Again,
Seattle receives a larrer tourist business
than IVrtlan.l. People make that town
direct from the I-nt and most of them
turn north Into Canada. Thousands of
people coming back Into the states from
a tour of Lanada reach ikattle and then

They aver that lO O-'O laborers and log

It Is declared that the Iarxr Vart of

North.
That the death of tha child, a year
and a half old. Friday morning, waa
due to some kind of poisoning Is the
belief of Dr. Ralph Matson and Dr. C.
K. Hill, who. upon the suggestion of
Deputy Coroner Dunning, held an
autopsy yesterday. -While the physi
cians feel positive that the immediate
cause of the chlld'g death was poison
ing, they will be unable to determine
the exact nature of the cause until a
chemical analysis Is made.
Detectives Endlcott and Sloan visit
ed the Schrelber home last night and
raid that they found no evidence that
any on waa trying to poison the fam
ily. Upon Investigation they found that
the mother and three small children
were suffering from acute stomach and
intestinal trouble and bad been afflict
ed the past eight days. Parts v. their
bodies are of a yellowish color. One
little girl. 4 years old. Is considered
dangerously 111. Half her body is very
yellow In appearance.
"Mr. Schrelber cannot account for th
cause of the sickness of his family, as
lie says ha has been eating the same
food aa the other members." said De
tective Endlcott. "He raises vege
tables in his yard and believes that
some kind of poison may have been
scattered In his garden. He says he
haa no trouble with his neighbors and
believes that If poison waa scattered in
his garden It was done so uninten
tionally. It would appear that If the
poison were strong, the father would
have been affected also."
The detectives said that they In
vestigated the sources of the water and
milk supply for the family and were
satisfied that the peculiar illness could
not be attributed to either '.he milk or
the water. The dwelling Is dl.ectiv
connected with Bull Run water and the ' opinion, after consideration of all matters
Intense interest among the legal fra
ternity has been aroused over the meet
ing of the Multnomah County Bar Asso
ciation, -to be he'd on Tuesday evening
in Department No. 2 of the Courthouse,
for the consideration of Article VII to
the constitution of Oregon, recently
adopted, which revolutionizes the present
Judicial system of the state and opens
wtde the gate for a new kind of a Su
preme Court.
The more the amendment is consid
ered, the more it becomes apparent that
Its meaning is clouded with contradic
tory statements. F. V. Holman. James
B. Kerr and A. R Clark, attorneys, who
were interviewed yesterday, declared
that tho measure was the most revolu
tionary adopted by any state of the
Union and, for that matter, any English-
speaking nation, for It wiped out In
single stroke all precedents. Half a
doxen or more attorneys are giving the
subject careful consideration and pre
paring themselves for a full diagnosis of
the meaning and Intent of the new con
stitutional amendment. Judge M. I.
Pipes will deliver an exhaustive lecture
on the subject, giving his views of the
new powers of the Supreme Court and
the placing in the hands of the Legisla
ture the power to create a new Judiciary
system for the state.
Law Is Contradictory.
"The preparation of this law," said
Mr. Holman, "was In the hands of the
People's Power League and, tho way I
understand It, several drafts were pre-
parea before the present one was de
cided to be placed before the voters. I
know of three that were prepared by
the league, but these were so drastic
and so unusual that they were changed.
The present law follows the general lines
of the other drafts, and I am at loss to
know how an attorney could have'drawn
t up. It is contradictory, misleading, at
variance with the precedents of a century
of legal practice, and crosses swords with
the common law, which Is the source of
our Jurisprudence, while the bill of rights
is made a plaything.
Any attorney who will sit down and
read the amendment over will throw the
whole thing into the corner of bis room
In disgust at Its lack of clearness and
definitive form. Let us take up Section 3
and see of what it consists. Here Is a
clause In the beginning of the section
which says, in defining the duties of the
Supreme Court:
No fact tried by a Jury shall otherwise
be re-examined in any court in this state.
unless the court can affirmatively say that
there Is no evidence In support of the ver
dict.
Appeals Would Be Barred.
What does that mean? Simply this
You cannot appeal to the Supreme Court
unless there is 'no evidence' to support
the verdict. No client would go into
court without some evidence. It would
be a rare lawsuit. Indeed, which did not
have some sort of evidence. The trial
Judge in the lower court would throw
tho case out before the case got well
along. If this clause Is literally followed
thore will be no cases go to the Supreme
Court if my Judgment serves me right.
"But let us read a little further:
Vpon appeal of any case to the Supreme
Court either party may have attached to
he bill of exceptions the whole testimony.
the Instructions of the court to the Jury
and other matter material to the decision.
'Now, what do we get from this won-
derful genii who desires to reform the
udlclal system of Oregon? After de
clarlng that no case can be re-examined
without "no evidence to support a ver
diet.' they propose to send up all of the
documents Involved In the case. The evi
dence, tho charge, the exhibits and any
old thing which might be attached to
the proceedings in the lower court will
be put In the possession of the Supreme
Court. Of course. If the court has only
to determine if there Is 'no evidence
and shoot the bag of legal documents
back to the clerk, there would not be
much to do. But the next clause Is th
'turn-about-face' kind. It reads:
If the Supreme Court shall be of the

der such Judgment as it sees fit. This is
a radical, not to say, revolutionary de
parture from our present system, and.
as I view It. Is an attempt to Invest th
Supreme Court with tho functions of
Jurors. Moreover, literally construed, it
virtually destroys trial by Jury, because
the Supreme Court may. in any case. Ig
nore the verdict of a Jury, whether sus
tained hy evidence or not, and find upon
the evidence such verdict as It may de
termine.
'These provisions are. however. In pal
pable conflict with the hill of rights of
the Oregon constitution which provides:
In all criminal prosecutions the accused
shall have the right to a public trial hy
an Impartial lurv In the county In which
the offense shall have teen committed; and
to meet the witnesses face to face.
"If the Supreme Court may retry
man charged with crime and determine
his guilt or Innocence and fix his pun
ishment. Is such man tried by an Im
partial Jury In the county in which the
offense shall have been committed?
Again, the bill of rights provides:
No person shall be put In Jeopardy twice
tor the same offense.
If tried once In the lower court by a
Jury and a verdict rendered and sen
tence passed, and he Is again retried
In the Supreme Court, surely he has
been twice put in Jeopardy for the same
offense.
Rational Construction Necessary.
"The amendment must be rationally
construed, or at least should be so con
strued by the courts. Where there Is
apparent conflict between different pro
visions of the same constitution such
construction should ba construed so as
to give effect to all parts if possible
and the court may call to its aid the
history and experience of the past, the
rights to be preserved and the objects
sought to be attained. The amendment
should be so construed as to enable tha
6upreme Court to look beyond the errors
of the trial court, based upon the viola
tion of th technical rules of the law, and
which do not prejudice or seriously im
pair the right of a litigant to a fair trial
by an impartial Jury according to the es
tablished and fundamental rules of the
law; and further authorizing the Su
preme Court to pronounce such Judg
ment aa It may deem just, where It may
do so -without violating the right or a
civil litigant or a person accused of crime
to have his cause tried by a fair and
Impartial Jury.
It will be a long step backward when
we destroy or Impair trial by jury.
s through our jury system alone that
the ordinary citizen comes In contact
with, and Is a part of, the admtnistra
tlon of Justice. We will not better that
system or Increase its efficiency by tak
lng from Juries composed of citizens at
large the right to try and determine con
troversles between man and man, and
between the state and Its citizens, and
give that power to the courts, trained
as they are before tho bar and on th

thus submitted, that the judgment of the
court appealed from . was such as should
be rendered In the case, such Judgment
shall be affirmed, notwithstanding any error
committed during th trial.
Phrase Ia Revolutionary.
"Attorneys generally will take excep
tion to the phrase 'notwithstanding any
errors.' That phrase will dispose of all
books on practice and eertaltrJy revolu
tionize our present methods of trying
lawsuits. The errors of trial ara th
greatest bulwark for the liberties of
clients to be found In this country. But
to continue to a conclusion. The next
clause Is the 'wheel about' of the author:
If the Supreme Court shall be of the
opinion that it can be determined what
should have been entered In the court be
low It shall direct such Judiment to be
entered In the same manner and with, like
effct as decrees are now entered In equity
cai on appeal to the Muprenie Court.
"There you have it. lrst, you are
barred from appealing from the Supreme
Court unless you had no evidence; now
you have the Supreme Court revising the
whole case, trying it upon all the evi
dence, judge's charge and exhibits and
changing the verdict to suit its own
Judgment, irregardless of what the lower
court may do or think, and th Jury-
that system which has been handed down
for centuries to teie liberty-loving En
glish-speaking people It has as mue!T to
say as the bailiff of an ordinary court.
No matter what the facts may be, as
found by the Jury, tho court that is, the
new people's court can wipe It aside
and substitute a verdict of Its own."
Mr. Holman then took up more par
ticularly the subject of criminal actions.
Ha said:
"In addition to this the clauses per
taining to criminal cases leave It open
for the Supreme Court to convict a man
fur a lesser crime, if. In it judgment,
he should be so convicted, although tha
case came up on another charge."
Much Depends on Supreme Court.
A. E. Clark expressed his views upon
the amendment by declaring that It
startlingly revolutionary and In effect
disposed of the Jury system but he be
lieved that the Supreme Court will find
a way to get around the Jury feature
of the amendment.
"The amendment," said Mr. Clark,
"seems to give to the Supreme Court in
every artlon at law. civil or criminal,
th right to retry all th facts, ignore
every error committed by th trial court,
however gross or prejudicial, and ren-
Portland should be made just as un
comfortable a place a possible tor

to Dr. TV. B. Hinson, of the White
Temple. He took the white-slave traf
flc for the subject of his sermon last
night, although he called his topic "The
Duty of Condemnation." His text was
I Cor. 8:9, "For we are laborers to
gether with God: ye are God's hus
bandry. ye are God's building."
"The Oregonlan performed a public
duty last Wednesday morning In call

then It Is high time for some man in

of whether or not they are fulfilling

"It Is a matter of congratulation

and acted as tha law directed, yet does
he deserve the 'well done' of his fellow
citizens who .desire the advancement of
Portland, and he should be aided by all
in his attempt to make this city an 'im
possible place for carrion of this par
ticular type. The glory of Portland
Vlll be the condemnation of all par

matter what their position or pull or
affiliations may be."
Ir. Hinson went on to show that

CHARGED WIRES FEARED
Irvlngton Residents Petition for
Removal of High Voltage Lines.
Complaining that the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company maintains a
high voltage line of poles on Burr road
and on Broadway and other streets in
Irvlngton, residents and property owners
on those streets are circulating a peti
tion, which has been signed by many of
thera and which will be presented to the
City Council at its next meeting, pray
ing that the company be required to re
move the wires or reduce the, alleged
high voltage.
These wires are charged with aoout
the same voltage that they use for ex
ecutions In New lork state, and they
are a danger to life and property of all
that district, especially during wind
storms, fires and such sleet storms as
we had two years ago," the petition
says.
