DRAW WAR CLOSINGS
Attorney for Commissioners to
Close Argument Today.
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. .

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.

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.

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.
