STATE'S RIGHTS INVOLVED Fulton Bae Plea for Instructed Verdict or Acquittal Cpon Nu merous Decisions In Fa tor of Contention. For nearly three hours, yesterday afternoon, after the United States bad finished presenting Its testimony. At torney Charles W. Fulton argued be fore Judge Ban for an Instructed ver diet of acquittal In the case of County Commissioners Cleeton. Llghtner and Hart, criminally Indicted by the Fed eral grand Jury for keeping- the draws of the bridges across the Willamette River at Portland closed during certain hours, contrary to the Federal rules and regulations. Attorney Fulton Is basing bis plea for an Instructed Terdlct on the con tention that. Inasmuch as It was shown that the regulations of the - County Commissioners did not Interfere with Interstate or foreign commerre. there Is no Federal Jurisdiction. He quoted coraa of decisions In support of bis contention that the United States uthorttles have no power to regulate ommerce wholly within a state. State Jurisdiction Brought Out. In the course of his argument Mr. Fulton Incidentally declared that the United States Government had really no right to force Inspection on ves sels engaged entirely In Intra-state traffic Ha contended, also, that the stats authorities could. If they wished, require that all vessels engaged In for eign or Interstate commerce designate such fact by a flag or by some other method and that, as far aa the author ity of ttie Federal Government goes. It would be necessary to open the draws st any and all times only to ships so designated. The state could, he said, prevent steamers plying- only within the state-running on the river during any periods that might be seen fit. "Tour Honor, It seems to me an out rage that these representatives of the state shotlal. tor acting aa such and uslng'thelr best discretion In the Inter ests of the public, have been criminally Indicted. I'll admit that the United States baa a remedy, but It lies In civil and not In criminal action." ssld Mr. Fulton. Mr. Fulton will, .when court con venes at 1:30 this morning, finish his argument for an Instructed verdict. United States District Attorney Jlc Court will then answer, probably con tending, accordl. g to remarks dropped by the prosecution last niht. that the United States Government, by reason of Its control over navigable sfreams. has the right to regulate the running of vessels upon such streams, this right being unhampered by any regulations of the stste. an Inferior sovereignty. Few Witnesses Examined. The only witnesses examined yester day afternoon were William N. Mc Donald, engineer at the Burnslde bridge; Sam Hiy. foreman of the Steel bridge; J. H. Richmond, foremar Mor- rlsoa-street bridge, and Robert Shaw, J 1 County Judge Cleeton's clerk. They testified to the Issuance of and the carrying Into effect of . the County Court's order Instructing that the bridge draws remain closed during congested hours of the morning and evening. With the Introduction of their evidence the prosecution rested. Should the attempt to secure an in structed verdict of acquittal fs'I the defense will commence introducing evldice today. . Iyj.ca.puin success ASSOCIATION'S IX FOUR CITIES AID EACH OTHER, CRANKY BRIDGE REPAIRED Streetcar Rails and Steel Slip Joints Rendered Immune to' Hot Sun. After the close of streetcar traffic last night, workmen were set to work to remove a half Inch from the ends of the streetcar rails connecting with the rails on the west approach (of the Hawthorne bridge so that no more difficulty may be experienced on warm dajrs In operating the lift draw. This course was decided upon by C K. Allen, of Waddell A. Harrington, the contractors who built the bridge, after the experience of last Sunday when, the arils expanded on account of the hot weather and prevented the operation of the llftWor over an hour. Soon as possible slip Joint rails will be Installed on the west approach so that they can be regulated during periods of hot weather and , can be moved back from the approach' as they expand. In this way the lift can be operated under any condition of ex cessive heat. Mr. Allen said that the slip, joints were hi Portland and that it was' prob able that tbey would b,e placed In position before the end of the iveek.

Educational Departments Will Con tinue to Co-operate Portland Leads In Northwest. So successful has been the policy of conducting the educational depart ments of the four leading Young Men's Christian Associations of the Pacific Northwest on a common . basis that this method will be followed indefi nitely. Portland's delegates to the ed ucational conference, held in Seattle last Friday and Saturday, have Just returned and report that results sum marized at that gathering were most gratifying. "We have now conducted the edu cational departments In Portland, Se attle. Spokane and Tacoma on the same general plan for one year," said R. C French, educatianal director, who, with H. W. Stone, general secretary, and L La. Hartley, head of the commercial school, represented Portland. "It has been determined that this method has numerous advantages, and the four associations will be permanently al lied. Not only Is It now possible to conduct the work more economically than It once was, but the results reached are far better and students going from one city to another have found the system exceedingly conven ient." Reports at - the conference showed that Portland .was leading the other three cities in every division of the work. In this city there has been a registration this season of 1004. while ; In Seattle the enrollment was 950, In Spokane 400, and In Tacoma . Port land also did more to improve .its ed ucational equipment than did any of the other, cities, spending more than $6000 for this purpose alone. An '.Interesting feature of the ' con ference wis the report on popular lec ture "courses, which have been conduct ed by all the associations without cost to the public. In . Portland the sea son's attendance at these lectures reached 8254. The figures In the oth er cities are as follows: Seattle, 2638; Spokane, 1000, and Tacoma 609. Three popular courses have been conducted by the Portland V. M. C A., one for apple growers, a second on economic subjects, and the third on real estate law. A new course of poultry-lectures is now In progress. The success of all these lectures means . that, the courses will be reorganized and prob ably extended next year. IS Reading After Dinner. "Mark' . Yenabe's Son." written by Olivia Howard Dunbar, and the leader in the Smart Set for May, consists of IS pages of entertaining reading.' with the plot ao cleverly hidden that the reader's attention is kept awake to the last. "All In the Family." by William Wallace Whltlock, Is a humorous dia logue, written In a cynical vein that is full of chuckles, and "The Grand Slam." by M. McD. Bodkin is an engag ing love story. These and other fea tures in the number make upreadable fiction of a kind calculated to make the evening hours pass pleasantly after dinner and to bury worry In obllviorf. The same cover design has ushered In the Smart Set for the past ten years, without pictures of any sort. . It is now announced that the June number will appear In a new cover. At last. Official returns from Chili show that the world's consumption of nitrate durlne the past year amounted to 43.9V6.966 quintals, an . Increase of 6.000,000 quintals aa com pared with the srevlgus U months, BEX T. DILLOX, OF LYRIC, BID. DEX FOXD FAREWELL. Girls In Chorus Present Him With Traveling Grip Filled With Beautiful Roses. "With the cue for the second curtain being shouted from the wings of the Lyric, Theater Sunday evening, stage manager and comedian Ben T. Dillon saw. In surprise no attention paid to the order. Again he signaled. Still no re sponse.' Then he left his position in the wings and Started to investigate the trouble, when an usher carrying a handsome leather traveling bag, open and filled with roses, came to the orchestra pit and a dozen pretty chorus maids rushed out on the stage. Ernest Van Pelt, a new member of the com pany, received the gift, and in a few well-chosen words presented It to the astonished Mr. Dillon as a parting re membrance from the girls of the company. Then the call "Speech! Speech!" rang out over the house and the comedian responded, dwelling on the loyalty of his co-workers and the Portland public, and speaking regretfully of his depar ture from the company. After Mr. Dillon had finished the orchestra struck up "Auld Lang Syne," and the audience stood singing with the com pany. Will King, the other oomedian of the company and associate' player with Dillon, was brought on the stage by demand from the audience and the en tire scene was like a small carnival. Mr. Dillon will leave Wednesday eve ning, for Log Angeles, where be will visit his daughter for several weeks. He will be joined later by Mr. King, who leaves this evening, stopping en route at San Francisco. Later the two will leave for the East, Mr. Dillon to spend the Summer in Ohio, on his farm at Chardon. and Mr. King to go to New York City to visit his mother, whom he has not seen for yiree years. The comedians expect" to return to Portland next Fall to resume theatrical work here. THEATER LEASE RENEWED Pantages Company Will Put Stock In Old House and Build Xew.
