Of th conventions of a National
character only two art of special
prominence th Rotary Clubs and th
Convention of th Christian Church.
Th Rotary Clubs will begin holding
their meeting August 2t and continue
tore days, a change of data from July
I having been made. Tbls club la
purely a business organisation which
has for Ita object the promotion of th

a wholesaler, retailer or Jobber. It Is
a sort of -tli a I me and 1 II tlckia

tag grown with considerable, strange
during tW last txa y-e&rs.
CorisUaa Ctaarrh Strong.
Th Christian Church, la on of tb
strong denominations of th Middle
West and mountain country. It does
not elect delegates to Its general as
semblies, but each cborcta member la
good standing can delegate himself to
attend. In consequence of this th at
tendance Is usually very Isrge.
r"ome of tb prominent men of the
rhurrh will be In attendance, such ss
Rar. J. K. Medbury. vt 1VS Moines and
lr. L N. Wet-ash. of Clncinatll. Already
the local commute ar at work pro
viding for th various accommodations
necessary for th handling of th
crowd. Tb Commercial Club has been
railed upon to provide for a portion
of tha funds to flnanc tb local ar
rangements. Th attendance will. It
Is believed, run up to many thousands
and will be tb largest of any of th
organisations which ar to meet la
th city during th Summer months.
Th church meetings ar divided Into
sis different divisions of work and on
acb day ther Is a different chairman
who will look after th proceedings
and deliberations
Th Northwest Photographers" As
sociation, which Is to meet July It and
remain In sess'on the remainder of th
week, represents th Iaciflc elope
states. Ther will be a large attend
ance of photographers and It Is under
stood that the photographic exhibit
will be of nnasual beauty and attract
iveness this year.
Eminent Physician' Coming.
At tb Etat Medical Association
there will be a namber of eminent
physicians and surgeons In attendance,
such as Dr. John K. Murphy of Chi
cago, and Dr. John B. braver of Phil
adelphia. One of the Mayo brothers
has also promised to attend. lr. M.
M. Fussel of Philadelphia. Dr. W. J.
Butler of Chicago and Dr. Mazyck
Ravenel of Madison. Wts ar men
tioned among the speakers.
The reason for getting so many
prominent doctors In Portland at one
time la due to the fact that th Na
tional Medical Society holds Its an
nual meeting In Los Angeles and the
men named have promised to stop off
her on their war home.
Th Pacific Coast Congregational

from th various Congrea-atlonal

that the meeting place will be In the
White Temple, where ample accommo
dations can be obtained.
The annual reunion of the Oregon
Pioneer will be preceded June 21 by
the Grand Kncampment of the Indian
War Veterans of the North west Coaat.

STATE WINS SUIT
National Bank Subject to Es
cheat Law of Oregon.
GANTENBEIN SO DECIDES
First National Appeals to Supreme
Court In Case) Involving Depos
its Left Untouched More
Than Seven Tears.
National banks operating In Oregon
are subject to the state law requiring
II deposits In banks, left untouched
for seven years, to be turned over to
tbe state. This was decided by Presid
ing .Judge Gantenbeln of the btate
Circuit Court yesterday morning, in
the ease of th btate of Oregon against
tbe First Nstional Bank of Portland.
The ault filed against the bank was
for the purpose of compelling It to
turn over to the state fS8S.l&, made
up of various deposit credits left In the
bsnk seven years or more. The bank
had refused to surrender the money,
alleging that as It waa a National
bank It could not be made subject to
the laws of the state In that regard.
The attorneys for tbe bank filed no
tic of appeal to th state Supreme
Court.
Judge Gantenbeln quoted from deci
sions of the United States Supreme
Court that National banks are subject
to state laws, unless the state laws In
some way conflict with the Federal
functions of the bank.
The bank had filed a demurrer which
was decided yesterday.
The court founded Its decision In
part on the following from a decision
of the United States Supreme Court In j
National Banks vs. Commonwealth:
"The most Important agents of the
Federal Oovernment are Its officers,
and no one will contend that when a
man becomes an officer of the Gov
ernment he ceases to be subject to the
laws of tbe state. The principle we
are discussing has Its limitations; a
limitation growing out of the necessity
on which the principle Itself Is found-

The reunion was at the home of Mrs. .Barbara A. Bailey,

plete and as correct as ever. As to price we ask only
that you call and satisfy yourself. And please remem
ber this ; that when you bu', house furnishings from us
you pay competitive prices for tho merchandise only
while for the style, the exclusiveness,-tho expert and
special service you pay nothing.
Stark Q
ed. That limitation Is that the agent
cles of the Federal Government are
only exempted from state legislation
so far as the legislation may Interfere
with or Impair their efficiency in per
forming the functions by which they
are designed to serve that Government.
Any other rule would convert a princi
ple founded alone in the necessity of
securing to tbe Government of the
United States the means of exorcising
Its legitimate powers Into an unauthor
ized and unjustifiable invasion of the
rights of the states."
In concluding his decision. Judge
Gantenbeln said:
"I am unable to see any probability
that a compliance with the Oregon
law will In any manner Interfere with
or Impair tbe efficiency of the defend
ant banking association in performing
the functions by which it Is designed
to serve the Government. It follows
that the demurrer should be overruled
and It is as ordered."

Judge Knowles Holds That Town of

Should the Supreme Court of Oregon
agree with the construction placed on
the home rule amendment by Judge
Knowles. of Wallowa County, it will bo
necessary for a special election be held
In every Incorporated city and town in
"dry" counties before It will be legal to
allow the sale of Intoxicating llquora.
D. Soils Cohen and Thomas O'Day, at
torneys who have been in close touch
with the amendment from proposal to ad
option, are Inclined to agree with Judge
Knowles that the amendment does not
become automatically operative In cities
or towns situated In local option counties.
Judge Knowles held-that the City Coun
cil of Joseph, in Wallowa County, "dry"
territory, had no right to license a saloon
In that city, and upheld the Indictment
returned against the ltcenee bolder.
"My understanding of the amendment
Is that towns and cities in local option
counties must vote on the question." said
Mr. Cohen. "I cannot see why it would
, become automatically
operative under
such circumstances and I believe the
Supreme Court will take this view of
the question. A City Council has not.

In a town or city in 'dry territory be
fore the voters have expressed their pref
erence In the matter. It must be re
membered that the local option law was
In force and the amendment was not
when these counties voted "dry." "
Judge O'Day, although he had not ex
amined closely into the question, gave
an off-hand opinion that Judge Knowles"
construction Is reasonable and will prob
ably be upheld.
"I believe that It would be presumed
that the county local-option law having
been In force and the home-rule amend
ment not In force when these counties
went "dry." the voters of the Incorporated
cities and towns within these- counties
will have to vote on the question of
licenses or no license in accordance with
the home-rule amendment," said Attor
ney Day.
"At first glance I was inclined to be
lieve that a City Council micht have
the right, in the capacity of representing
the people, to make the amendment op
erative, but a more nmture considera
tion of the situation dispels that view."
