- .vchran. Attorney-General Cr.-.wford this
afternoon attacks the anpnlr.tiT.ent of
Justices Will R. King and W. T. Sinter
a unconstitutional and void, for the rea
son, as alleged, that tile Legialatui-e "net
no power to add two mora juuses, and
the Governor no authority to appoint.
The motion, whlcn Is Kignon hy J. H.
Pago. Deputy District Atw.n y, and A.
M. Crawford, Attorney-0r.e;-ul. recite
the fact tnat Justices Robert KiUIii and
I". .A. lloore favored sustaining the Cir
cuit Court in the Cochrnn cat.-, that "for
mer Commissioner" Will It. Ki:;s wrote
an opinion concurred in by "'Gi.-.ior
Vommissloner" W. T. Siatcr and Justice
J. A. HcBrkie, overruling tne lower court,
which latter op.nion the Aitoim -General
asks be treated as the dishorning
opinion of the court, and that the opinion
of Justices Moore ar.d Ecitin be consid
ered the majority opinion of the rojrt.
'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. Mctiilue is
fa minority of the Supreme Co. lit.
Third, that Will R. King and W. T.
'Slater, who have for somo tir.te been
acting as Justices of the Supreme Court,
are only advisers theroof, and are not
lawful members of said court, and are
'rot entitled to vote on any quescion coin
ing before the court for decU'on. r.jj to
sign any opinion as members of the Sa
preme Court.
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. Increasing the court by
two members."
The Cochran caee Is the St. John local
option caao. which was decided by the
Supreme Court adversely to the city of
St. John, the decision being to the effect
that the St. John charter is superior to
the local-option law and that as a result
the city may regulate Its liquor traffic
without regard to the state law on the
subject.

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

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. Cruisers, mon
itors, torpedoboat-destroyers and a flotil
la of revenue cutters will . complete the
American display.
The American and foreign naval officers
will be entertained at a number of bril
liant social functions. The sailors and
marines will march In the big military
parade. There will be cutter races and
boxing and wrestling tournaments for the
men.
The British cruiser Bedford, the fleet

PEDDLER'S LAW IS VALID
Supreme Court Upholds Xew Ll-
cense Regulations. .
OLTMPIA. Wash.. Oct. 16 (Special.)
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

duct is obtained whicli is at once palat

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.
