GROCERS SEE-RUIN-
lii SUNDAY CLOSING
Sightless Retailer Tells of Ef
fort to Avoid Charity by
Conducting Business.
TWO WOMEN GET HEARING
Flaws In Law Are Pointed Out and
Merchants . Threaten to Keep
Places Open Despite ActCon-
ference Called for Today.
Oregon's antique Sunday blue law,
which the effort to close all grocery
stores on Sunday has brought Into sud
den prominence after many peaceful
years, came in for vigorous denuncia
tion at a mass meeting of independent
grocers, confectioners, cigar dealers and
other retailers, held at the East Side
Library Thursday night
The majority of those present were
email dealers, many of whom asserted
that enforcement of the law would
cause them serious loss and in some
cases drive them out of business.
One speaker who made a deep Im
pression was R. M. Leahy, a blind man,
who said that his little confectionery
business at 733 Union avenue North
would be ruined if he were forced to
close on Sunday in accordance with the
old law, which includes not only gro
cery stores, but all save a few spe
cially exempted lines of business.
"Probably none of you have thought
that a blind man has anything at stake
through Sunday closing," began Mr.
Leahy.
Blind Man Faees Lom.
"All my life I have been opposed to
having blind men begging on the
streets, and I have tried to make some
thing of myself, to live an upright life
and to be a useful citizen. A year ago
I quit my former place as singer in a
theater and put every cent I possessed
Into this little business.
"My business has been fair and I
have managed to get along. The Sun
day trade has been a big help. Some
times I have taken in as much as $25
on that day, and that was clear. If
that business is taken away from me
by enforcement of this law, my busi
ness faces ruin.
"1 ask you to support Dan Kellaher
In the fight he is making against this
law and to do everything that you can
to destroy the octopus."
By "the octopus." Mr. Leahy's hear
ers very evidently interpreted hira to
refer to the Portland Retail Grocers'
Association, which is attempting to
close all Sunday grocery stores, in
cluding the independents.
Committee to Meet Today.
After neurly two hours of discussion,
the meeting appointed a committee of
lour, which is to appoint a fifth mem
ber, a retail cigar dealer, to determine
on the best method of fighting for re
peal of the law and for estotminir its
enforcement -intil its legality can be
oeiinitely determined by a high court.
This committee is composed of Dan
.(Kellaher and Ren A. Bellamy, grocers.
both of whom have been arrested for
keeping their stores open last Sunday;
L. R. Merrick, secretary of the Oregon
Retail Merchants' Association, and C.
L Monroe, also a grocer.
Mr. Kellaher announced that the
committee will meet today to deter
mine an immediate course of action.
tain an injunction against the law in
the United States District Court.
Appeal to Go to Highest Court
Mucli applause was evoked when Mr.
-3vellaher. who was named by acclama
tion as chairman of the meeting, an
nounced that he has appealed his case
from the District Court, where he was
lined. i'o, to the Circuit Court, and
"ihat he intended to carry the case to
the United States Supreme Court, if
aiecessary.
Jacob Kitter. small grocer, of 413
Kast Kighth street, started a warm
.discussion when he declared that he
believed the law to be "rotten." and the
prosecutors even more so.
"As we are all business men," ne
went on, "I, as a. business man, am
willing to go down the line with my
orothsr Kellaher in this fight as a
matter of Justice. We should all give
liim our support.
Stephen A. Lost, small grocer, of 996
Commercial street, said he had talked
..with nearly 50 merchants, who are
all in hearty accord with the announced
purpose or tne meeting.

a lift in this movement because we're
coins to need a great deal of help.
.MrS. jV 1 1 1 J l - . nvj, v 1 1 i.r i uho , mucin
.store at 5531 Koster road, expressed
Indignation at the law.
"We are only two women, my sister
ind I. making a small living in our
little store." she said. "I don't see
why we little people should have to
tnut lown ana ii'sie uiuiify iwciausc
ome of the big ones want us to.
"We all know who we are fighting
against," declared F. Mason, small
jsrocer, of Grand avenue and East
Ankenv street. "Its a Kind or nickel
proposition. Some people are afraid
we are going to take a few nickels
on Sunday that tney might get on aion
dav if they close us tip."
ii. w.nt ii n tn kav thnt srwln wntpr
manufacturers, ice cream manufac
turers and cigar manufacturers, among
others, would be as hard hit Dy the
law as the small retailers because thev
would suffer in that their goods could
"not be sold on Sundays.'
A HlPBf II nils ' ' ....... u . . u ...
V. B. Barthrop, druggist, of East
Thirty-fourth and Belmont streets,
who said he was present as an East
iSide business man and thought the
merchants of the Last Side should
iw,t-a ttirtm time to think it over be
fore they were put on record as for
or against Sunday closing.
"Personally. I favor Sunday closing,
and I'm a druggist." he remarked. "1
believe everyone should have one day
of rest. He added that he had lived
in Portland only a year and was not
Acquainted with all the circumstances
or tne case.
"I wish to say that this is not a
: meeting for East Side business men.
replied Chairman Kellaher. "The call
- was a general one. and we have them
l'.ere from the Kast Side, nest bid
. North Side and every district in the
-city."
you've said what I wanted to tell
- the gentleman," declared C. K. Monroe,
urocer, of 24S West Alder, addressing
the chair. "I came here as a W
trifle merchant to attend a meeting
against Sunday closing. It is going to
hurt me a good deal to have to close
- on aunaay, ana x am going io give
Fight to De Carried to Finish.
"I want to answer the druggist pu

.Hurnside. another of thoso . arrested
last Sunday. "U says ho fealinva
ery man should rest one day in the
week, and "so do L But I don t want
to be dictated to as to what day I
shall rest. I am here to say I will
give every aid I can to fight this law
and show those who are trying to make
us close that we won't be made to
rest on a day we don't want to."
W. R. Wheeler, grocer, of East Sixty-
eighth and Powell streets, declared he
was morne concerned over the question
of personal liberty than the financial
loss from Sunday closing. Another
speaker said that religious workers
were taking a very active part in the
Sunday-closing prosecutions.
George A. -Hall, attorney, pointed out
nconsistencies in the law. "One of Its
absurdities pointed out by the State
Supreme Court was that a carpenter
wno works in his own shop on Sun
day is violating the law, but If he
works on your house he isn't violating
it. The law is discriminatory and
against the 14th amendment to the
Federal Constitution."
Several Threaten to Keep Open.
He said he thought the grocers
should apply to the Federal Court for
an injunction against enforcement of
the law until its constitutionality can
be settled.
Other speakers included Mr. Kella
her, L. R. Merrick, R. Anderson, a small
grocer of 1167 Albina avenue, who said
he was strictly neutral but thought the
naependents should adopt the tactics
of the Germans and strike hard and
quickly; Morris Freeman, grocer at
East Twenty-eighth and Ankeny
streets: L, M. Lepper and A. Keller,
representative of the Oregon Retail
Merchants' Association.
Several of those present declared
they would stay open next Sunday.

E. VOSE'S INJURIES FATAL
Coroner Censures Hospital for Delay
in Reporting Accident.
Kmil Albert Vose. aged 55, reputed
a well-to-do resident of Aberdeen,
Wash., who was struck by a train at
Kenton early Sunday evening, died as
the result of his injuries, at St. Vin
cent's Hospital Thursday.
Though there ia a state law requiring
a hospital to report immediately any
such cases to city or county authorities,
no report of the occurrence was made
to police headquarters until Wednes
day night, when death seemed the prob
able outcome, and as a result the hos
pital was severely censured by the
Coroner's office yesterday.
Germany Insists on Privilege ot Ob
taining Supplies, Since Allies
- Do So, Britain on Arming
Vessels for Defense.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29. A second in
stallment of what has come to be popu
larly known as the United States Gov
ernment's white book was issued last
night by the State Department It
gives the text of important diplomatic
correspondence with the belligerent
governments of Europe since the pub
lication of the first installment last
May.
Resides constituting a public record
of the position of the United States as
a precedent for the future, the volume
reveals to the public a series of charges
and counter-charges by the belliger
ents that reflect the difficulties con
stantly encountered in the delicate task
of observing neutrality.
one or the most Interesting features
of the new edition is the publication
for the first time of a memorandum of
the German Foreign Office referred to
in a colloquy between Chairman Flood,
of the House foreign affairs committee,
and Representative Bartholdt of Mis
souri, at the hearing on the bills pro
posing an embargo on arms. Mr. Flood
quoted the memorandum as a Justifica
tion of his argument that the German
Government did not hold shipments of
munitions to the allies as illegal.
It appears that the correspondence
with ttie Uerman government conducted
by Ambassador von Bernstorff devel
oped as a consequence of a ruling by
tne united states that it was a viola
tlon of neutrality for merchant ships to
leave American ports for the express
purpose or supplying warships.
Equal Treatment Demanded.
The Ambassador transmitted a mem
orandum. White said:
'Under the general principles of In
ternational law no exception can ba
taken to neutral states letting war
material go to Germany s enemies from
or through their territory. If, however.
a state avails itself of that liberty in
tavor of her enemies, then it must
place no obstacle to the German mil
itary force in ordering contraband
from or through its territory. In spite,
thereof, various American port authori
ties have denied clearance from Ame
ican ports to vessels of the merchant
marine which would carry needed sup
plies or fuel to German warships. Ac
cording to the principles of interna
tional law above cited, a neutral state
need not prevent furnishing of sup
plies of this character; neither can It,
after allowing the adversaries to bo
furnished with contraband, either de-
tain or in any way disable a merchant
ship carrying such a cargo. Only
when contraband trade would turn the
ports into bases of German military
operations would the unilateral stop
page of the trade of those vessels be
come a duty.
"Such perhaps would be the case if
the Germans kept coal depots in the
ports or if the vessels called at the
port in regular voyages on the way
to German naval forces. But it stands
to reason that one merchant vessel oc
casionally sailing with coal or sup
plies for German warships does not
turn a neutral port into a German
point of support contrary to neutrality,
"Our enemies draw from the United
States contraband of war, especially
arms, worth several billions of marks.
This in itself thev are authorized to
do. But if the United States would
prevent our warships occasionally
drawing supplies from its ports a great
injustice grows out of the authonza
tion, for it would amount to an un
neutral treatment of the belligerents.
The Secretary of State in his reply
held that:
"The essential idea of neutral terri
tory becoming the base for naval oper
ations by a belligerent is in the opinion
of this Government repeated departure
from such territory of merchant ves
sels laden with fuel or other supplies
for belligerent warships at sea: in or
der to ascertain the vessels which are
thus operating the Government h
been obliged to investigate certain
cases in order that it might determine
whether there have been or are about
to be repetition of such acts, but in
all respects equality of treatment has
been observed toward all vessels sus
pected of carrying supplies to bellig
erent vessels."
The correspondence snows that the
State Department received also a com
plaint from the British Ambassador
regarding the "systematic way in
which neutral ships have left Amerl
can ports in order to supply German
cruisers."
Mr. Lansing replied that so far as
he was advised:
Every suspicious case of a vessel
leaving American ports to supply Ger
man cruisers which has been brought
to the attention of the United States
with any basis of fact to support some
such statement, has been fairly in
vestigated. The Government of the
United States therefore feels obliged
to decline to accept any suggestions
intimating that Its vigilance has been
relaxed.
On another occasion the German
Ambassador in complaining to the
state Department that the tug F. B
Dalzell put to sea from New York to
carry provisions to the British cruiser
Essex declared that the tug came out
under the searchlight of the U. S. S.
Florida." Mr. Lansing answered this
with the statement that the Govern
ment of the United States had invest!
gated and was not able to find suf
ficient evidence to show that the tug
did supply British warships.
"The British embassy said with ref
erence to the fitting out on American
territory of vessels intended for war
like purpose. Great Britain "would
hold the United States Government re
sponsible for any damages to British
trade or shipping or injury to British
interests generally which may be
caused by such vessels having been
equipped at or departing from the
United States ports.
The Buiing of the State Departmen
that it was permissible for merchant
ships to arm for defensive purposes
drew forth a note from the British
Embassy on instructions from the For
eign Office, giving "the fullest assur
ances that British merchant vessels
will never be used for purposes of at
tack, that they are merely carriers
armed only for defense."

LONDON, Oct 29. The system of
personally canvassing for recruits un

several districts of London yesterday.
Soldiers and civilians with lists of

it is too early yet to announce
whether the novel method of recruiting
will prove successful.

He has been visiting during the past
year all the Asiatic countries, and his
observations of the effects of the war
on the countries visited have appeared
serially in the Saturday Evening Post
He will soon return to Washington to
await news developing events of the
coming Presidential campaign.
Mr. BIythe rather likes the method
of administering political affairs in
China.
"Their stern methods are effective,
even though they are rather bloody,"
said he. "I have seen the time in the
history of our own country when
there would have been a heap more
prosperity in the country if some of
the members of Congress had been
taken out and hamstrung."
Mr. BIythe thinks that among all
the Republican Presidential poesibil
itites there seems to be none who have
any considerable backing save their
own.
86 CHINESE ARE CAUGHT
Pacific Mail Steamer "Alive" With
Stowaways.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29. United
States immigration inspectors raided
the Palcific Mail steamer Mongolia at
midnight last night and captured 86
Chinese stowaways, who arrived from
the Orient yesterday on the boat's last
trans-Pacific voyage. Sharp questioning
of the Chinese to uncover the Identity
of Americans, wno, it is believed, were
cadets of a wholesale smuggling ring,
was fruitless.
The raiders crawled into every nook
of the big boat and dragged struggling
Chinese from a great steel bucket
buried in the coal bunkers, from the
fireroom, from beneath benches in the
dining salon, from the bunks of the
Chinese crew and out of hiding places
in the steerage.
The raid was made on advices from
