MITI-PICKET LAW
FOR PORTLAND AIEVI
Initiative Measure Designs to
Protect Business From
Conspiracy of Any Kind.
SIX ASSOCIATIONS UNITED
Draft of Measure Submitted to
' Auditor for Approval and Pe
titions Will Be Circulated
by Members of CInbs.
An initiative measure, aimed to pre
vent conspiracies "to injure the trade,
business or commerce of any person
doing business in Portland," will be
placed on the ballot at the forthcom
ing' municipal election.
A group of citizens, representing the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, the Ad
Club, the Realty Board, the United
Metal Trades Association, the Employ
ers' Association and the Progressive
Business Men's Club, have started the
movement and will conduct an active
campaign to secure Its adoption. A. C.
Callan, who was a member of the re
cent Legislature, will have charge of
the campaign.
A copy of the proposed Initiative pe
titions was filed with A. L. Barbur,
City Auditor, yesterday afternoon, and
es soon as it is approved copies will be
circulated among the voters for signa
tures. It will require approximately
6000 signatures to get the measure on
the ballot.
Members of the six organizations that
have initiated the measures will cir
culate the petitions themselves. They
Will not employ hired circulators.
The measure is intended to prevent
conspiracies to injure all kinds of legit
imate business, and defines, on its
face, what a conspiracy is.
Conspiracy la Defined.
One form of conspiracy is for two or
more persons to get together and agree
"not to buy from, not to sell to or have
dealings" with others or "to induce or
attempt to Induce" others not to buy
from, sell to or have dealings with
others.
Another section declares It prima
facie evidence of a conspiracy for "any
person alone or In company with
others" to carry or display or cause
to be carried or displayed, printed or
circulated "any banner, sign, trans
parency, vrriting. printing, dodger,
card notice, sticker, button or sash"
which by its terms or appearance at
tempts to induce others not to buy
from or sell to any persons doing busi
ness in Portland.
This section obviously is intended to
prevent "bannering" in front of busi
ness places, such as has been practiced
In Portland for several years..
Another section would make it prima
facie evidence of a conspiracy to
"loiter or parade back and forth in
front of or In the vicinity of any store,
factory, works or place of business or
in the vicinity of the home of any per
son connected with or employed in. or
seeking emplyment in. any such store,
factory, works or place of business."
Penalties Are Proposed.
A penalty of not less than $10 nor
more than $500, or imprisonment in the
City Jail for not less than five days,
nor more than six months. Is provided
for violations. ,
Following is a copy of the bill In
full:

BROTHER OK MISSING BANKER.
Official of Forest Grove Institution
Dmj Derogatory Rumors That
Are Circulated.
The disappearance of Earl O. Bux
ton, cashier of the First National Bank,
of Forest Grove, remained without a
glimmer of solution yesterday, despite
the wide search for the young: man,
who dropped from sight in this city
March 3.
Descriptive circulars bearing a pho
tograph were scattered liberally over
the Pacific Coast yesterday, being
mailed to every possible point by De
tective Captain Baty, of the Portland
police, and Sheriff J. C. Applegate, of
Washington County.
The identification of the young
stranger who visited Harrisburg last
week, as the missing cashier, has been
accepted by William Buxton, a brother.
The interest aroused Sunday by the
report that Patrolman Nelson had seen
the missing cashier In the Imperial
Hotel died yesterday when it became
known that the man was William Bux
ton, who strongly resembles his broth
er, and who was then Investigating In
Portland.
Officials of the First National Bank
of Forest Grove said yesterday rumors
which had arisen at the disappearance
of their cashier were without founda
tion. They believe that he wandered
away while temporarily unbalanced In
mind, and are as sincerely regretful
and perturbed as Mr. Buxton's rela
tives. GUEST STEALS DIAMOND

mond to a pawnbroker in mid-afternoon
and brought the purveyor to the police
station for investigation. He gave his
name as Osborne.
"Why. that's the fellow that was here
this morning with Charters when he
reported his diamond robbery," said
Detective Ackerman.
After close questioning the suspect
confessed his guilt, admitting that he
had taken the diamond eardrop while
a guest in the Charters' home. Mr.

and the Information against Talbot
was filed by Detective Hyde, charging
him with, larceny from a dwelling.

of Lavish Generosity.

cial.) Millionaires and bellboys, to
gether will attend the dance to be
given in the ballroom at the Hotel
Huntington tomorrow night. It will be
unique in the annals of Pasadena so
ciety, for while In the past the em
ployes at the hotel have had dances In
the hotels, and some of the patrons
have danced, this is a function for
which the tickets are being sold to
employes and patrons alike.

money for one of the bellboys, who
was taken 111 suddenly and had to, sub
mit to an operation. His friends con
ceived the idea of a dance to defray the
expenses, the hotel management do
nated the use of the ballroom ana tne
wealthy patrons now staying at that
and other Pasadena hotels have been
so liberal in- the purchase of tickets
that the patient probably will come out
of the hospital considerably richer than
he went in.
