"BARRED-DOOR" LAW
THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY,
GETS KNOCKOUT BLOW
The Young Man of 1919
Is a Good Judge of
Smart Clothes
I LIKE to have such young men come
to my store for their clothes, because
they then can see the quality the
smartness the style in the apparel
shown here. -
The majority of the young men have
been about of late some overseas, some
on the seas, some in other parts of our
own country- They have observed they
have learned. '
Now, when they look for clothes for
civil life, they find here the fabrics and
the types they have admired elsewhere ;
better still, they find they are as mod-
erately priced as elsewhere. Naturally,
then, this store becomes clothes head
quarters for young men who know the
best and who want the best.

Judge Kavanaugh Holds Ordi
nance Unconstitutional.
VIOLATES 14TH AMENDMENT
Court Scores Measure as Dividing
Citizens Into Lawful and Un
lawful Classes.
ft
The city ordinance familiarly known
as the "barred-door" measure took the
final count before Circuit Judge
Kavanaugh yesterday -when that jurist
held it to be wholly un-onstitutional.
saying that he considered it "burden
some, unreasonable and not reason
ably related to the object to be at
tained." Attorneys Malarkey, Seabrook and
Dibble brought the matter up as a
test case in the appeal of Lee Foo and
Chung Lee from fines of $25 levied in
the municipal court recently. The de
murrer to the trial of the Chinese In
the circuit court was sustained by
Judge Kavanaugh in "is decision
knocking out the ordinance.
"Instead of fixing a standard for
compliance the ordinance has left the
matter of deciding who . .lall be per
mitted to have doors of other material
than wood, of more then two inches in
thickness, with more than one bolt and
opening inward to the arbitrary judg
ment of the chief of police and build
ing inspector," pointed out the jurist
in his decision.
Divides People Into Classes.
"The ordinance has as its professed
object the prevention of fires." said
Judge Kavanaugh, "but its conceded ob
ject is to prevent gambling, bootleg
ging and immorality. It would divide
the people of Portland in two classes
under the judgment of the chief of
police. One class would be the law
abiding class, which would be per
mitted to have an extraordinary door.
The other class would be the law
violating class, which would be com
pelled to use. ordinary doors only. This
would be recognition of a law-breaking
class, which should be suppressed, not
recognized."
The entire proposition, according to
Judge Kavanaugh. simmered down to
a violation of the 34th amendment
to the constitution, giving equal pro
tection to all under the laws of the
country.
The ordinance disposed of yesterday
was a recent redraft of a previous or
dinance knocked out by Judge Staple
ton. The redraft was replete with
legal holes which could be used as
the basis of putting it out of opera
tion by appeal to the courts, com
mented Judge Kavanaugh.
rollic Are Criticined.
City and police officials came in for
warm treatment at the hands of At
torney Dan J. Malarkey in the course
of the argument on the demurrer.
"A crusade of graft has been car
ried on against the Chinese of this city
by officials of Portland wearing blue
uniforms," charged Mr. Malarkey.
"There has been a continuous campaign
of persecution, oppression and prosecu
tion. The police don't know what a
search warrant means. They break
into premises, take what they please
and often the poor Chinese find stuff
'mysteriously' missing.
"If the officials of Portland would
look for big criminals and big crimes
instead of paying so much attention to
trifling offenses, tne taxpayers, of
Multnomah county would be better off,
as also would be the morals of the
community, I commend to the city
attorney some of the hig hotels of this
city in verification of what I say. There
is more that is" pernicious to the
morals of this community going on be
behind doors of these hostelries than
there is in Chinatown."
Ordinance Too Kar-reachinpr.
If the ordinance was constitutional,
99 per cent of the residents of Portland
would be guilty of violation of it un
less they secured permits from the chief
of police, pointed out the attorneys.
Few doors of residences but have more
than one lock and open inward. Judge
Kavanaugh remarked that it would be
necessary even for him to get a permit
or have the door changed in the en
trance to his private chambers, be
cause it was over two inches in thick
ness and opened inward. Attorney Sea
brook declared that the banks' of the
city would all find it necessary to se
cure permits to have barred windows
and steel doors on safe deposit vaults.
In various other ways the alleged ab
surdities of the provisions of the law
were referred to.
