STRAPHANGER BILL
GETS KNOCK-OUT
Federal Decision Temporarily
Enjoins City From En
forcing Ordinance.
AMBIGUITY COMMENTED- ON
Court Holds That Forfeiture Clause
Would Deprive Railway Com
pany of Franchise 'Without
. Dne Legal Process.
United States Judge Bean in a, de
cision yesterday granted the Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company a
temporary injunction restraining the
enforcement by the city of the three
cent fare ordinance recently enacted by
the City Council. Judge Bean based
his ruling chiefly on that provision ol
the ordinance which provided that fail
ure by the railway company to observe
the conditions of the ordinance ion
period of one month would subject the
company to a forfeiture of Its fran
chises in the discretion of the City
Council. . ....
The court held that the conditions
imposed on the traction company by
the ordinance were "unreasonable, ar
bitrary, impracticable and impossible
of enforcement" while the forfeiture
clause would deprive the complaining
railway company of its property without
due process of law, contrary to the Fed
eral constitution.
Federal Protection Granted.
The franchises of the complainant,"
said Judge Bean in his decision, "and
their acceptance conferred upon the
grantees vested rights during the term
of the franchises which cannot be re
voked without the consent of the own
er unless upon grounds stated therein,
and a municipal ordinance passed un
der color of legislative authority which
Impairs the rights so granted or which
attempts to take the property of the
complainant without due process of
law comes within the protection of the
Federal Constitution, and in such case
the Federal courts may be applied to
for relief without waiting until pro
ceedings are instituted by the city to
enforce such ordinance.
"The city may take measures to reg
ulate the manner In which the com
plainant may enjoy its franchises, but
such regulations must not be arbitrary
or capricious and must be reasonable
and not destroy or unlawfully Impair
the rights granted. It cannot, under
the guise of regulation, deprive the
company of its franchise nor can it
forfeit such franchise or canoel the
same except In the manper provided
by law for taking private property for
public use unless for some ground of
forfeiture stipulated In the franchise
Itself.
Constitutional lUtht Exists.
"It has, therefore, been held that an
ordinance of a city attempting to de
clare a forfeiture of a franchise as a
punishment for a violation of some mu
nicipal regulation Is a threatened vio
lation of the constitutional rights of
the grantee and the Impairment of the
obligation of a contract which a Fed
eral court has Jurisdiction to restrain."
Continuing, the decision, which is an
exhaustive document of 20 typewritten
pages, including citations from 70 au
thorities, discusses the indefinite and
uncertain provisions of the ordinance
and the confusion that would attend
an attempted enforcement of those pro
visions. It concludes with the follow
ing comment:
Ambiguity Is Charged.
"We are not attempting to definitely
construe the ordinance, for we con
reive that to be practically Impossible
in view of its language, but to point
out some of the glaring defects and
to show how unreasonable it is to make
the violation of such a lav- a ground of
forfeiture of a valuable vested right
acquired by the company under its
franchise, and that it requires the com
plainant to discriminate between pas
sengers for whom it furnishes like
services in violation of that part of
k, -Caiml itnntrl tutlon which forbids
the taking of private property without
iue process 01 iaw auu a., v.
equal protection of the laws."
In view of the comments of the
court as to the ambiguity of the es
sential provisions of the ordinance and
the attendant impossibility for the
courts Intelligently to interpret and
enforce its terms, counsel for the rail
way company is of the opinion that the
temporary Injunction granted yesterday
will be made permanent.

HAWLEY FOLLOWS WEST
Idaho Governor Refuses to Grant
Hay's Request.
unrep TAafcn Kmr.' JS. (Special.)
Following the example set by Governor
West of Oregon, Governor nawwy, jl
' this state, has de-nied the requisition
.t.t - .a Kv Cln-vnrr (IT HaV. of
ptJlllJVUCU va " J
Washington tor the return of Bert
Mansel to Kelso, wasn o answer iv
a statutory charge, and the youth,
t. .. I than ftf Ae-ff trim Son Of a
prominent South Idaho rancher, will
remain in Idaho. Governor Hawley ex
pressed himself freely in a letter to
Governor Hay. explaining why he takes
the stand he has. He declares he be
lieves young Mansel has been more
sinned against than he, himself, has
sinned.
Mansel eloned from Caldwell, Idaho,
in May. 1911, with the wife of Herbert
Van Hausen, a liveryman or tnat cny.
The couple first went to Eugene, Or.,
where they lived as man and wife. Van
Hausen had been separated from his
"better hair' prior to the elopement.
Later they left Eugene and moved to
Kelso. It was while they were in ure
gon that Governor Hay asked Governor
West to honor requisition papers for
the delivery of Mansel to answer to the
statutory charge. Governor West re
fused to grant the request. After the
couple left Eugene and had lived at
Kelso, Wash, for some time they sepa
rated, Mansel returning to Idaho and
Julia A. Van Hausen returning io ure
flron.
Van Hausen followed the trail of the
couple and, learning that Mansel was
at Caldwell, swore to a complaint at
Kelso. It was then that Governor Hay
made the request on Governor Hawley
to honor requisition papers.
In his letter to Governor Hay, for
warded today. Governor Hawley points
out that he is familiar with the cir
cumstances surrounding the case, and
believes he is Justified in refusing to
turn the youth over to the Washing
ton authorities. He sets forth that he
has every reason to believe that it is
not the desire of Van Hausen to punish
the young man. but rather to force the
woman in the case, to return to him so
that he may be able to control funds
she has In her possession and which
are rightfully hers. Van Hausen and
his wife. Governor Hawley cites, have
not been living together, and he makes
it clear that the cause of their separa
tion is principally due to the husband.
Toung Mansel Is barely 21 years of
age. The woman with whom he is
charged with eloping is almost twloe
his age. The two have been separated
and the youth returned to his parents.
JUDGE BEAN" REFUSES TO SET
ASIDE LIGHT ORDIXAXCE. '
Federal Court Has' No Jurisdiction
in Minimum Rate Matter, Says
Ruling on Application.
Application of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company to the United
States District Court for an injunction
to set aside an ordinance of the City
of Portland fixing the minimum rates
that may be charged by gas and elec
tric companies was denied yesterday
by Judge Bean, on the ground that the
Federal Court has no Jurisdiction in
the matter.
In his decision Judge Bean said that
since both' the corporation and the
municipality belong to the same state,
there is no diversity of citizenship and
hence the court has no Jurisdiction on
that ground. Its Jurisdiction is sought
to be invoked, he says, solely because
the provisions of the ordinance deprive
the company of its property without
due process of the law and Impairs the
obligations or unexpired contracts
existing at the time of the adoption
of the ordinance; but the averments of
the complaint do not support this con
tention. If the city acted without legislative
authority in passing the ordinance, the
ordinance is not an act of the state
within the meaning of the fourteenth
amendment and the court Is without
Jurisdiction. If, on the other hand, it
had authority to pass such an ordi
nance, the rate fixed Is presumed to
be fair and Just, the burden being on
the complainant to show that the rate
so fixed would be confiscatory.
"There are no facts stated in the
complaint," said Judge Bean, "showing
that the rate complained of Is con
fiscatory, or that. If enforced. It will
deprive the complainant of Its proper
ty without just compensaxion, nor is
there even a general allegation to tnai
effect.
"The averment in the bill that the
rate as fixed by the city will conflict
with unexpired contracts between the
complainant and Its customers, out
standing at the time the ordinance
was adopted, states no cause or suit in
this court. The complainant could not
take away the power -of the city to
fix rates, if It had the power, by mak
ing such contracts. Any contracts
which it had outstanding were neces
sarily made by it subject to whatever
power the city had to modify or change
the rates to be charged by it."

for diplomacy, delegates to the fifteenth
annual - American Mining Congress
cleared away tonight the preliminary
work of the session and prepared to

The questions on which the Influence
of the Congress will be brought to bear
were outlined tonight by President

annual address.
The extending of a hearty Western
welcome to the delegates occupied the
session this afternoon. Mayor Hlndley,
of Spokane, Robert Insinger, represent

the commercial organizations of Spo
kane, and Graham B. Dennis, head of
the Spokane chapter of the Mining Con
gress, assured the delegates fhat the
latchstrings of Spokane and the camps
of the Northwest were out to them.
As the roll of states was called, Pres
ident Taylor called on delegates to re
spond. Among those who spoke were
David Ross, State Labor Commissioner
of Illinois, who delighted his audience
with a witty eulogy of the Western
miner; Glenvllle A. Collins, representing
the Peruvian government; F. Jacombs,
personal representative of Premier Mc
Bride, of British Columbia; George A.
Baldwin, of Valdez, Alaska; Paul Clag
stone, of Idaho; W. B. Shackelford, of
Joplin, Mo., and R. L. Gougherty, of
Lead, 8. D.
Mr. Taylor provoked wild applause
among the Spokane delegates by point
ing out the possibility that Spokane
might become the home of the perma
nent headquarters of the congress.
