Fourth Floor Furniture Department Now Located on Fourth Floor Model Grocery, Bakery and Delicatessen on the Fourth Floor JUDGE READS NEW LAW Ordinances of Portland Apparently r.cmlcrtd Null and Void by Late Statute. Not an automobile speeder was fined In municipal court yesterday. In fact there will be no sentences imposed until Friday, for Judge Rossman has dis covered a conflict between the state automobile law passed by the last leg islature and the city traffic ordinance, a conflict which may necessitate the formulation of a new municipal traf fic ordinance, and one which opens a pretty question as to the legality of fines and sentences imposed on speed ers since March 4, the date upon which the state law became operative. In any event the city attorney's of fice is busy investigating the status of the city's traffic ordinance, while even the power of the city to regulate any thing other than the speed of automo biles is at issue. Xtw State lin In Read. Saturday Judge Rossman received a copy of the new state law and, in perusing the comprehensive document, his eyes were attracted to section 35. which says, in part: "Local authorities shall have 710 power to pass, enforce or maintain, any ordinance, rule or regulation affecting a slower rate of speeed than herein epecified at which such vehicles may bo operated, or the use of the roads, streets and highways of this state, contrary or inconsistent with the provisions of this net, and all such ordinances, rules and regulations now in force are hereby declared to be of no validity or effect; provided, how ever, that the local authorities may limit by ordinance, rule or regulation hereafter adopted the speed of the vehicles within their corporate limits and on further condition that local authorities shall also have placed conspicuously on each main street, road or highway of this state where the boundary of such local authority crosses the same, and on every, main street where the rate of speed changes, eigns, etc." State Law Believed Supreme. "I am not in a position just at pres ent to make any definite assertion to tiie validity of the traffic ordinance," said Judge Rossman last night in dis cussing the matter. "If the old home hule constitutional amendment holds good, giving municipalities complete authority in such cases as traffic regu lations, then naturally the legislative traffic regulation does not affect the situation. But If supreme court deci sions have so weakened the home rule amendment that it Is not effective, then it strikes me that the state law is supreme in this matter and that municipalities have ,-no regulating power except as to spend, with parking regulations in the hands of the county court." I The state traffic law Is a most com prehensive affair, with speed limit tixed at 30 miles and strict injunctions as to the exercise of care to avoid accidents. However, the law provides that a motorist must be followed for a quarter of a mile to secure .evidence for conviction of exceeding speed limit. So, if the city ordinance is in operative, the speed limit is SO miles in the city, with authorities forced to exercise more skill and diligence in securing evidence of violations of law. State Law Only ow Enforced. According to Judge Rossman, the old state law contained a section almost identical with section 35 of the new, and the many fines and sentences im posed by Judges Stevenson and Lang TUth have the same legal status as those Imposed since March 4 under the Kossman regime. City traffic regulations limit speed to 15 miles an hour In congested dis tricts, and 20 miles elsewhere. Au thorities seem to agree that the city must place speed-rate signs at all city boundary lines, no matter what the status of the present city ordinance, whilo Chief of Police Johnson has ln stucted motorcycle patrolmen to en force only the state laws pending mu nicipal action.

For 39 years he was employed on The Oregonian with the exception of a portion of 1S51 and 1852. when he was a student In Pacific University, Forest Grove, and through the civil war. when he served as first lieutenant in 1 com pany of the old First Oregon, recruited by Captain W.

WOCXDS PliAYMATE WITH SHOTGUN. There Is no man living today who was present both at the christening of Tho Weekly Oregonian, December 4. 1S30, and. of The Daily Oregonian, Feb ruary 4, 1S61. Henry Hill, The Orcgonian's first printer's devil and the only man who remembered, those two memorable days in northwest newspaper annals, died at the Soldiers' home at Orting, Wash., Sunday, May 11. He left no direct de scendants. Burial services will be held at the home today. Mr. Hill was S4 years old. He came to Oregon across the plains in 1S47 from La Porte, Ind., shortly before the Whitman massacre. Friends urged the family to estop at Whitman Station, but the young man's father, Klijah Hill, had selected Portland as his destination and refused to alter his plans. They came down the Columbia in canoes. When they arrived in Portland the town consisted of three log cabins and the warehouse of l'ettygrove & Canby. All the inhabitants gathered on the bank of the Willamette deeply inter ested in the increase in population. Mr. Hills father died in 1850 and the support of the family devolved, on the young man. He obtained a Job on The Weekly Oregonian the day before the paper was first published. Thomas J. Dryer, the publisher. Invited the leading citizens of the town to see the paper printed. In Reminiscence, Mr. Hill remembered the names of A. P. Ankeny, "VV. W. Chapman. Stephen Coffin. J. Tenvilliger, Daniel 11. Lowm- dale, Thomas and James Stevens, Ami P. Dennison. W. W. Baiter, Benjamin Allen and Job McXamee as among those present. , The decedent served as "devil" and carrier for three years and then learned to be a compositor.

Johnson, a broker, did the shootinir, which was staged near the Waverley golf links. A crowd of bovs had been indulging in strenuous mili tary play, and young Johnson, because of language to which his mother took exception, was brought home and put to bed. Then other hoys were playinc in the neighborhood of the Johnson home, and Joe Bates, with Hamilton, his younger brother, approached the house to get their coats.
