'The motion Is based on the following ground : Only Advisers, Crawford Says. i First, that Justices Eokia and Moore ere a majority of the Supreme Court. Second, that Justice T. A.

In the Attorney-General's argument In support of the motion a comprehensive .review of the Judicial system of in state Is given, including the separatioa of Cir cuit and Supreme Judges Into two classes when the white population of the state reached iJO.000. It Is shown tnat section 19 of the constitution plainly slates that the court shall consist of threa Justice no more, no less, which the respond ent's attorney In the Cochian cae aver 1 final and binding upon the Legisla ture. What Constitution Says. The argument continues: "In constru ing provisions of a constitution, it is a universal rule that where the lantuage is plain and unambiguous. It must be ' taken in Its general sense, that is. In the ! way in which the people at large under . i stand, or understood it. at the time of tha adoption of the constitution We think It Impossible for any court or Judge to hold that the people of Orison, when they adopted tne section or tne con stitution referred to. understood It to mean three or more Justices. The doctrine that where a statute enumerate the persons or things to be affected by Its provisions, there ia an implied exclu sion of others, is applicable to the ques tion under discussion." Apparently anticipating reluctance on the part of the court to take up and de termine the motion In its present term, the Attorney -General continues: "Tiie court may hesitate to entertain jurisdiction of this motion, on tho ground that the persons whose right to act as additional Justices of the Supreme Court Is being challenged are entitled to have the question raised by quo warranto, but we submit that In the case at bar, we are not questioning the right of Messrs. King and Slater to hold and discharge the duties of additional Justices of the Su preme Court, In case such office exists, but raise the question as to whether there Is, under the constitution, a de jure of fice for them to be de facto officer of and if not. then their sitting Is only a pretense. The attempt of the Legislature to create additional Justices wae ob viously In excess of Its authority, and hence void ab Initio, and created no of fice whatever. Also it will be remem bered that the constitution provides the number of Justices of the Supreme Court and leaves no question open for legisla tive enactment. Muddle Should Be Cleared. After quoting many authorities the '.argument continues: "We respectfully submit that the great importance of the 1 question at issue demantii its decision. There should be no doubt in the minus (of the members of the bar. or of the peo- !ple. as to whether our courts are legally established. No doubt should ex fist as to whether any three Justices of ithe Supreme Court have the right to af firm a Judgment of the trial court to j condemn a man to suffer the death pen ialty, or by their Judgment or decree de prive people of their rights ana property. As long m any doubt exists aa to the legality of a court, the confidence of the people in the court and its decisions 1 lessened, and to that extent the powers jOf government are weakened. t In one of the cloning paragraphs I j found an Intimation that the case will be ; carried to the highest courts If it ia de icided adversely by the Ort-gon court, ot i which there la probably little doubt. The statement follows: 'The people should know by a decision of the highest court in the land whether they should, at the next election, choose two additional Justices of the Supreme Court, or wheth : er they ahould wait until the constitution , shall have been changed in the manner therein provided.

SIX NATIONS SEND SHIPS INTE1JXATIOXAL ARMADA WILL ATTEXD POKTOLA. Kuglish, German, Dutch, Italian, Japunese and American Naval Men Meet in California. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 15. Within the shelter of the Golden Gate 'the flags of six nations flutter over a long line, of battleships assembled to take part in the Portola festivities. The greatest Inter national armada ever gathered in a Pa cific port rests at anchor in San Fran cisco harbor. England, Holland, Italy, Germany and Japan have sent ships to the celebration. Besides the foreigners a large part of the- Pacific fleet of the United States Is here. Several hours after the Algerine reached her anchorage1, the German cruiser Arcona passed in through the Golden Gate and Joined the other war ships. She is a vessel of 2S57 tons dis placement. Is capable of steaming at the rate of 22 knots an hour and has a com plement of 249 men. Great Britain, with three vessels, will have the largest representation of any of the foreign powers. The H. M. S. Bed ford, one of the largest and most power ful cruiser in the English navy, will be the flagship of the British fleet. The Bedford was detached from the China squadron and sent to San Francisco . for the Portola. The other British war ves sels will be the Shearwater and Algerine. While Japan will be represented by only one ship, the big cruiser Idzumo, the Mikado sent along Prince Shlmatzu with a message of good will. Queen Wilhelmina sent the cruiser Noord-Frabant, one of the most modern In the Dutch' navy. The Italian cruiser Calabria will arrive in San Francisco after a Journey of eight weeks, coming from the eastern coast of Southv America. The Italian vessel will be one of the larg est .of the foreign men-of-war. The Ger man cruiser Arcona will represent Kaiser Wilhelm. The cruiser St. Louis, flying the flag of Rear-Admiral Phelps.- will be the flagship of the American naval representation. Admiral Phelps will outrank any of the foreign officers in port.

The State Supreme Court today sustained the validity of the state licensed peddling law passed by the Legislature of 1900, the decision bMng In the habeas corpus case brought by A. D. McKnlght against Sheriff Hoilge, 'of King County. McKnight was arrested for violating the law. He claimed it was unconstitutional because different amounts of license were exacted from different classes of peddlers and because certain peddlers were not re quired to take any license. These facts do not bring the law within the consti tutional provision of class legislation says tho decision. The court, however, does hold void. the provision of the law that all annual li censes trail expire the second Monday in each January, and holds that the license is good for 12 months from the date it is issued. NORTH COAST HILL PROJECT, MAYBE Latest Guess Ties Up Strahorn Secret Work With Great Northern Owner. MOVE TO GOBBLE TRAFFIC Argument Advanced That Any Rival May Take Northern Pacific After I-'eeders or North Bank Make Ti-rrilory Hill Preserve.- BY R. G. CAUVEHT. SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 16. (Staff Correspondence.) Having- attempted to connect up the North Coast Railway with almost every Western line of importance except the Great Northern and having met with more or less in different success, the railroad dopesters of the Northwest are now theorizing on the possibility of James J. Hill being engaged in a railroad coup of g:eat magnitude. The theory in brief is that Hill acquired control of the Northern Pa cific in order to keep it out ot rival hands until he could entrench himself thoroughly in the state of Washington. It is said that tills entrenchment is being accomplished through the con struction of the North Coast and North Bank railways and of the stripping of the Northern Pacific of the natural territory, and that when the time is ripe Hill will sell out his holdings In the Northern Pacific without caring Into whose hands they fall. The Harrlman Interests, the Canadian Pacific and the Chicago & Northwest ern have heretofore been accused of being the backers of Robert E. Stra horn, the puldlng head in the con struction work on the North Coast, but so successful lias Mr. Strahorn been In keeping a secret that not the faint est trace of authentic Information has been permitted to reach the public. Proceeds Slowly, but Surely. v What has occasioned the greatest amount of puzzling Is tf? manner of building the 630 miles of railroad projected. Although in the field with construction forces as early as, if not earlier than, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Strahorn has progressed slowly, building a patch of road here and there, fighting for and winning rights of way across other railroads, contesting; for passes, buying up terminals, all apparently with plenty of capital to carry out the ultimate plans. About a year ago he expended nearly $1,000,000 for terminals in Spokane. Now he is building a million-dollar bridge across the Columbia River with out a completed railroad on either side. Recently, it is reported, he acquired numerous water power sites In Central Washington, and it was said had pur chased the holdings of the Hanford Irrigation Company.- The report con cerning the purchase of the Hanford holdings, however, has Bince been de nied. , Although buying terminals in' Spo-' kane, Mr. Strahorn apparently is giv ing no thought as to terminals in Se attle, Tacoma or Portland, to all of which cities hi road is projected. Probably 125 miles of road have been graded, and some rails laid. The Mil waukee, however, which began opera tions at approximately the same time, has completed its line across the state and is running- local trains and through freight service over It. Battle In Courts Hard One. The question is asked, Why such slow construction if the Union Pacific, Northwestern or 'Canadian Pacific Is behind Mr. Strahorn? Why the secrecy? An answer has been offered to the latter question in the statement that possibly it was thought that rights of way, terminals, etc., could be acquired more readily if it were not known that a transcontinental road were building. If that is the correct answer the pur pose of the secrecy has not worked out satisfactorily. The North Coast has been opposed by other roads in almost every move. It is always In the courts of the state fighting for rights through gateways and for rights of way that conflict with rights of way of other roads. In support of the Great Northern theory secrecy would be an essential element. It is now recalled-that when Hill gained a controlling voice in the affairs of the Northern Pacific, about five years ago, it was predicted that lie would build up the Great Northern at the expense of the Northern Pacific. The construction of the North Bank road is referred t-i as fulfilling this pre diction, at least in part. It Is said that stockholders in the Northern Pacific who were not interested in the Great Northern saw no advantage in putting Northern Pacific money into the North Bank. The latter road draws on North ern Pacific territory, and not on Great Northern territory. Under the present system of its operation, halt the net earnings derived from traffic diverted from the Northern Pacific goes to the Great Northern, while Great Northern territory contributes no trafflo at all to the Jointly-owned road. Great Xorthern Kxteuds Northward. The North Coast entered the field soon after Hill became a power in the Northern Pacific. Its lines are project ed Into O. R. & X. and Northern Pacific J territory, dui-iioi uhu loo uii nwn-i-ern field. During the four years it has been constructing its patches of rail road the Great Northern has been extending- feeders throughout Northern Washington and Into British Columbia, but not southward. The Northern Pacific, with Hill con trolling it also, has been practically out of the construction business in Wash ington. The established lines, it is true, have been rebuilt, and the road kept in excellent oonditlon. Its earnings are at a point where they keep up the value of Its stock, but. so far as its earnings are contributed by this state, they are the k product of an established business and little attempt has been shown to en large the field of operations? In addi tion to dividing up its naturally grow ing business with the Great Northern through the construction of the North Bank, the Northern Pacific has been, made to share with the Gerat Northern the traffic between Seattle and Tacoma and Portland, and If the terms of the recent contract are correctly under stood, the Northern Pacific I II divided up most of this stretch of road with the Southern Pacific, also gaining thereby only a double track, but splitting the traffic income three ways. Control of North Bank Sought. The linking of the North Coast with the Great Northern in brief is based on the theory that Hill acquired the con trol of the Northern Pacific after the break-up of the meryer in order to keep Bloated and Sour Stomach Need No Longer'Be Endured by Suf ferers from Dyspepsia. The stomach and intestines always contain, even in health, a smal amount of gases. They seem, both from a chemical and mechanical point of view, to be essential, to some extent at least, to good digestion." A great deal of com mon air is swallowed "with the food, and tne remarkable facility with which air bubbles are formed in the saliva is referrable to this special purpose. H follows that oxygen and nitrogen are natural to the stomach, and it has been ascertained that nitrogen is greatly In excess of oxygen, showing that even In the stomach this gas is some way employed in the vital pro cesses. But 33 gases are easily evolved by fermentation and decomposition of food in the stomach and intestines, and as saccharine and other fermentable matters dissolved in liquids are present in the gastro-intestlnal tube, it results that its aeroform contents are much more complex than is generally sup posed. Whan digestion is perfectly healthy there can be no fermentation and flatu lence, but as soon as indigestion occurs carbonic acid cas and various other gases are freely formed in the stomach and boweis, causing much discomfort. The remedies employed for the cure of flatulence may be classified as fol lows: Those which prevent fermenta tion; those which favor the expulsion of gas, and those which oxidize and ab sorb gases. Of the remedies w-hlch pos sess the above properties. charcoal is the only one' which has the power of preventing fermentation and decompo sition of food, and at the same time absorbing all excess gases in the ali mentary channel. Medicines w hich expel gases from the stomach, known as carminatives, are not to be compared with a remedy wliicn absorbs the gases and prevents eructations or belching. STUAP.T'S CHARCOAL LOZENGES are now used by thousands of people who were for merly subject to fermentation, decom position, belching-, bad breath, and rumbling noises in the intestinal sys tem, and frcm which disagreeable symptoms, through the use of these pow-erful absorbent lozenges, complete relief has been obtained. They are made of the finest willow wood, treated by a special, exclusive, carbonizing process, and when sweet ened with pure honey, a medicinal pro duct is obtained whicli is at once palat able and wonderfully effective in cur ing these complaints.

Jlich. it out of Harriman hands and to hold it back while his own road established it self in northern Pacific and O. R. & N. territory. The terminal war in Port land, the acquiring of a foothold In Ta coma and numerous otherjjetails have, it is said, been the causes for the slow character of construction work on the jNorth Coast. One oi ti.e next most Im portant moves, it Is predicted, will be tiie acquirement of complete control of the North Bank road by the Great Northern, a result heretofore predicted in Portland. The North Coast Railroad as project ed provides for a cross-state railway from Spokane to Portland. Tacoma and Seattle via the Cowlitz Pass. The main line forks west of the Cowlitz Pass, in Lewis County, one fork extending south to East Portland and the other north to Tacoma and Seattle. A branch line leaving the main Jlne In Adams County is also projected to Walla Walla, and from Walla Walla west via Wallula to a connection with the main line in the vicinity of Chandler Station, on the Northern Pacific. Another branch is projected from Spokane south to Tekoa. The system as projected not only opens up a vast new territory, but strikes into the heart of the developed wheat district of Southeastern Wash ington. Helped Hill In Fairhaven. Robert E. Strahorn, so far as known here, has had no direct connection with James J. Hill in the past, although there are some indications that Hill may have known Strahorn favorably for years. Strahorn first showed up In Washington at the town of Fairhaven, now South Bellingham nearly 18 years ago. He came from South Dakota and seemed to have ample funds for Investing In realty and municipal securities. At that time Hill had determined on Fairhaven as the Puget Sound terminus of the Great Northern. Hill had large peAlional holdings In the town and was intimately connected with C. X. Larrabee. of P ort land, In his Investments. Numerous men close to H1U went to Fairhaven in the early '90s to Invest their money. When the rapid growth of Seattle demonstrated that it was to become the Puget Sound metropolis. Hill changed his terminal plans and selected Seattle. Strahorn then let go in Fairhaven and went lo Spokane. In the past some determined and con centrated efforts have been made to ferret out the North Coast mystery. This was attempted last year by C. M. Keyn, ex-rallroad editor of the Wall Street Journal, but later connected with World's Work. It is said that Mr. Keys tried to trace the backers of Strahorn by means of vouchers paid for construction work and was led around a circle. Vouchers were paid in Portland. Mon treal, Seattle, Quebec, New lork and even London, but the real financial ceo ter for the road could not be discovered. Still another theory is that the Spo; kane & Inland, the electric Interurban line that is friendly with the ureal Northern, is extending into other fields and keeping it quiet. The Inland Is a big money producer and it might be Its plan to quietly build the extensions out of the earnings, meanwhile keeping tho Identity of the road secret In order to retain the profitable Interchange of traf fic with the Great Northern. This argu ment accounts for almost as many moves as the Great Northern theory. The latter accounts for the indifference con cerning terminals, the secrecy, the slow method of construction and the territory entered. The one flaw in the logic ;s the Durchase by the North Coast of Spo kane terminals when the Great Northern I already has Inem. This Is brushed aside by those who conjecture, however, witn the statement that the Great Northern will need the property Inasmuch as Spo kane will be the Western diverging cen ter fof the Oregon extension and tho Northern and Southern Washington routes.
