In defiance of the Fish and Game commission's order, closing the Wil lamette River to conform with the sea son covering the Columbia River, two fishermen were arrested Saturday night for fishing near Oregon City. After their arrest the men took their case before the Circuit Court at that place for the purpose of testing the commis sion's right to close the Willamette Kiver. After taking tne question un der advisement Jutfge Campbell ren dered a decision sustaining the commis sion. The fart that the men were ar rested at midnight and were apparently mlcavorlng to elude the deputy fish wardens, led Warden Clanton to be lieve that they were disobeying the law Instead of testing it. Judge Campbell's decision is expected lo go far toward settling the difficulty that has arisen since the salmon fish ing season on the Willamette River was iianged to conform with that on the Columbia River.

The Portland circles of the Oregon Congress of Mothers, which were or ganized last Fall Into a council for the purpose of facilitating the work of the Congress, adopted the first constitution of the council, to be known as the Tort- land Council, at their monthly meeting in the City Hall yesterday. All of the ofTlcera elected when the council tem porarily was organized were re-elected. The principal feature of the constl tutlon Is a provision that every com mlttee chairman of the various circles comprising the council shall be a member of the council's committee hav ing charge of the work corresponding to the work of the committee she rep resents In her circle At the meetings of the state congress hereafter, the Portland circles will be represented by delegates from the Portland Council, Instead of from tha different circles. The work of the State Council will be modified by the substitution of meetings of the board of managers and of the executive com mittee, for general monthly meetings participated in by all councils of th slate. .Mrs. Robert Tate, state president of the Congress, told of a plan to have the Congress represented by suitable floats in the parades at the Rose Fes tival. She said that at a recent meet Ing of the board of managers the ap pointment of a committee to take charge of this work was authorized and that she expects to have Its per sonnel completed today. The commit tee will meet next Tuesday at the Young Women's Christian Association. At the meeting the mothers were ad dressed by Mrs. L. H. Addlton, National lecturer of the social welfare work of the Woman's Christian Temperance t'nlorr, who discussed the present laws of the state for the welfare of women and children. She said that on the whole they were good, but pointed out where a few new ones were needed. Most important of these, she said, was a law making wife desertion a crime. She said that there was urgent need for a law instituting a state industrial school for girls and another changing the age of consent from IS to 21 years. Mrs. W. J. Hawkins, president of the Portland Council, said that there was a lack of enforcement of existing laws. It was announced that the Oregon Congress is arranging for a state con ference at Eugene July 2 and 3. under the auspices of the University of Ore ;on.
