Hearing Cora Orer.
ATLANTA. Ga . June 24. That the
readlns; of a newspaper story led
Charles W. Morse to applv for a writ
of habeas corpus, in an effort to secure
hla release from the Atlanta Federal
prison, developed nt the hearing of the
application before Judge Newman in
the United States District Court here
today. Morse Is serving a IS-year sen
tence for violation of the National
backing laws.
M.ore read that seven men convict
ed and sentence. I in Federal courts
wojld not be snt t-vthe Atlanta priv
cn because they had r.ot heen sentenced
to '"hard labor" and because the act
avthoriiinir the construction of the
prison here spectrlcally provided that
it was to be a prison for felons. He
determined that tlies" frts fitted his
own case and when President Taft re
cently denied his api liratlon for a par
don be immediately took steps to have
filed a petition for a habeas corpus
writ. x
The petition demanded a hearing for
the convicted New York. hanker on two
grounds. If contended t.iat. as Morse
waa convicted on a misdemeanor
charge, he cannot be Incarcerated law
fully In a prison erected acidly for fel
ons. It Is contended further that the
li-year sentence Is excessive in that
the law limits the sentence to ten
years on any one connt on the offense
charged analn-t Morse. Morse origi
nally waa convicted on 5J counts, but
the court of appeals sustained only
four of them, ail char?liir false entry.
As no mention was made of the counts
by the court in passtnit sentence.
Morse's attorney contented that It
must be construed as being on one
count only and therefore excessive.
The Government met Morses con
tention that he was be Ins t-nlawfuily
detained In the Atlanta prison by re
calling a case where a man convicted
In a Federal court on a misdemeanor
rharre had been sent to a state prison
for felons. Morse's attorney replied
that the rases were not similar.
Jarire Newman will hear further ar
guments on the petition next Wednes
day. LONG BEACHHARBOR OPEN

WASHINGTON'. June 34. Fpeaker
Chsmo Clark Issued a defl to the Ad
ministration today on learning of re-
! pons that President Taft purposed to
veto any general tariff legislation at
the ext.-a session of 'Congress. The
Speaker In a formal statement declared
that the whole tariff ought to be re
vised and the Democratic party would
rest its case with the country.
"The tariff ought to be revised from
top to bottom." suld Mr. Clark.
"The people of the land so decided
last November. That Is their latest
mandate. The public decided It is
best to revise It schedule by schedule.
We have made a start on that plan.
We will continue as we have begun. If
the Republican Senate beats our bills
or President Taft vetoes them, we will
appeal to the country and It will sus
tain us. We believe we are right. We
are not afraid of a contest."
Clark's declaration followed the an
nouncement that the President would
veto the Canadian reciprocity bill if
any amendment is adCed. Many Sen
ators have receive. ttelettrams and let
ters announcing a purpose on the part
of the farmers to test the constitu
tionally of the proposed reciprocity
law if it receives less than two
thirds majority In the Senate.
This position la taken on the ground
that as the bill carried Into effect the
provisions of a treaty. It should re
ceive the vote In the Senate necessary
to render a treaty effective. Friends
of the measure do not concde the point,
but they are cialmlnsr tho two-thirds.

this story of the fire. ,
"We were silting about the boathouse
listening to a fihoiiograph when one of
the youug men who was smoking threw
a match to the floor. It landed close to
a mop which had been used during the
day to oil the floor. Almost Instantly
the names spread over the entire floor,
and later the room was a mass of fire. .
"Ail the doors were closed and with
one accord we started for them.
"Miss Wilson and Miss DeHaven went
to te wrong door and were penned In a
email room. The rest of us reached the

Fetleral Grand Jury Inquiring Into
Conduct or Exchange Main
tained by Publishers.
NEW YORK. June St. (Special.)
Civil and criminal proceedings are
pending against the Periodical Pub
lishers' Association, or which all lead
ing magazine publishers are members,
on the ground that the members are
in a conspiracy to control prices of
magazine subscriptions.
The criminal Investigation has been
conducted before a Federal grand Jury
for several weeks and is In charge of a
special prosecutor named by the De
partment of Justice. Complaints
azalnst the association were made not
only by subscription agents, who allege
that their business Has oeen inter
fered with, but in behalf of several
public libraries, some of them In the
West. It Is alleged that, through the
concerted action of publishers, libraries
are forced to pay higher prices than
formerly ror magazines.
A civil suit has been Instituted by
John Thomas Wood, who dves a gen
eral subscription business under the
name of the Publishers- Subscription
Kxchanse. at 1 Madison avenue. ooa
is suing the periodical clearing-house,
which Is conducted by members of the
Periodical Publishers' Association, as
an Incorporated cuncern.
The plaintiff said in his petition to
the court that by wrongful acts of
defendants they have "destroyed and
wrecked" his business, and prevented
him from carrying out existing con
tracts.

Judicial District. Is 4S0S, accordingto
figures prepared by Secretary of State
Olcott today at the request of Attorney
K. L. Cannon, of Koscburg.
Considerable argument arose as to
the method at arriving at tho required
number, the constitution providing that
It shall be 25 per cent of the greatest
number of votes cast for Justice of
the Supreme Court. As there were two
sets of candidates running for Supreme
Justice last year, and about 12 candi
dates altogether for d'fferent terms and
different parties, the question was a
difficult one to deride In this respect.
Whether the same basis in comput
ing the figure should be used as was
used for computing the number for the
entire state, or whether t meant the
highest votes for Justice of tho Su
preme Court in the respective counties,
was a new factor In the problem, which
was finally reached by computing on
the same basis as In the entire state.
With this In mind, the following
computation brought -about the final

Multnomah Ileal Abandoned.
Believing Portland to be the best
field on the Pacific Coast for Invest
ments in hotel property,' the Norman
brothers. Spokane capitalists, have def
initely decided to reinvest a portion
of their capital here. Until a few days
ago. the Normans owned nearly half
of the capital stock In the Portland
Hotel Company, which they turned over
to Kugene and Harry; Day at a price
said to be in eycess of $500,000. -
Since disposing of their Interest In
the Portland Hotel the Normals had
been carrying on negotiations for the
Multnomah Hotel, now in the course
of construction. . This building is about
one-half completed. It Is an eight-story
structure, covering an entire block,
bounded by Third. Ash, Fourth and
Pine streets. The property is esti
mated to he worth over $1,000,000.
Unable to agree upon the terms. and
price aslted by tlie owners, the Normans
announced yesterdry afternoon that
they would withdraw from the "deal.
Although they are maintaining secrecy
as to their plans, it is understood that
they have another property In view
which they expert to purchase. It Is
declared, unofficially, that if the Nor
mans do not succeed in finding the
building they want, they will acquire
a site and erect a hotel buflding even
more pretentious than the Multnomah
Hotel structure.
The Normans operate hotels at Ta-
'coma. North Yakima, Spokane and in
other cities in the Northwest. Their
aim is to own and control the leading
hotel In each city. Being the owners of
the Hotel Spokane and the Tacoma
Hotel, it is In line with their plans to
become tlio owners and operators' of
the largest and finest hotel in Portlanfl.
H. C. Bowers, of the Bowers Hotel,
will become the active head of the
Multnomah Hotel. J. Sf. Brownell, for
merly connected with tho Palace Hotel
In San Francisco, will be assistant
manager. Mr. Brownell arrived In

KIEL, Germany, June 24. Kmperlor
William, accompanied by Admiral Von
Tirpitz, secretary of the Admiralty, and
a largre number of German naval offi
cers, went aboard the flagship Louisi
ana, of the second division of the
United States Atlantic fleet, as the
gruests of Rear-Admiral Badger at a
luncheon today. At the Emperor's ex
pressed request, the luncheon was in
formal, no toasts being exchanged. The
officers wore undress uniforms.
The Emperor, who sat between Ad
miral Badger and Dr. David Jayne Hill,
the American Ambassador, was in ex
cellent spirits and kept up a series of,
stories and anecdotes. His friendly at
tentions to the retiring Ambassador
were noticeable.
After a thorough Inspection of the
ship, from the turrets to the men's
quarters and -the stokehold, the Em
peror chatted with Admiral Von Tir
piti and the other German Admirals,
evidently exchanging Impressions of
the Louisiana. The crew gave three
hearty cheers as His Majesty descended
the side. The gold and black imperial
standard flying at the main mast was
lowered and a salute of 33 guns was
fired.
The American sailors today showed
themselves markedly superior to the
Germans In a race of gigs. Four boats
from the Kansas, Louisiana, South Car
olina and New Hampshire finished In
the order named ahead of four German
competitors. The Americans offered to
lend the Germans two boats to equalize
conditions, but this offer was declined.
The American sailors will return the
German hospitality with an athletic
and vaudeville smoker aboard the Lou
isiana Tuesday night.
The yachting today was confined to
German sonder boats. Tilly XIV won
the cup offered by Allison V. Armour,
as well as the Emperor's Samoa cup.

Daisy Mildred Mitchell, both of whom
are minors. The couple was married
at Vancouver, Wash., on February 23,
1909. The groom celebrated his 17th
birthday on July 5. 1309. nearly five
months after he became a husband.
When married at Vancouver, the
young )eople gave the names of Lind
Shaw a'nd Mildred Mitchell, the mid
dle names of both being used in order
to avoid publicity. Both the parents
of the girl, who was 17 years of age
at the Mme. and the parents of the
boy gave their consent. Since that
time William Shaw. father of the
young man, has been paying his son's
wife 10 a month. The boy has con
tinued in school.
The parents of the young man re
sorted almost Immediately after the
marriage was celebrated to legal means
to invalidate it. the first step being
the appointment of the young man's
mother as guardian ad litem, which
was done on June23, 1909. Mrs. Shaw
then instituted suit In Circuit Court for
the annulment of the marriage on the
ground that, under the laws of the
State of Washington, Harry Lind Shaw
was not capable, by reason of his mi
nority, of entering Into the marriage
relation.
The young wife's parents at first con
tested the proceedng. They filed an
answer in which the- claim was made
that the fact that the parents of both
had consented and had even witnessed
the ceremony was sufficient to make It
inviolable. Arthur A. Murphy, attorney

Trouble Does Not Yet Affect
Willow Creek Project.
CULVER, Or., June 24. (Special.) The
steel construction workmen on the Ore
gon Trunk viaduct over Crooked River
are out on a strike and hav3 all left
the works. The cause of the strike is
reported to be a demand of the men re
ceiving J5.50 a day for an inorease to
$7.0. and the men now receiving $7.50 to
an increase to $10.60.
Thisstrike will delay the entry of the
railroad' service Into the territory south
of Crooked River for some weeks at
least, and possibly much longer unless
the strike differences are settlPd. It is
understood that the Oregon Trunk is
having the bridge built by contract, and
therefore the railroad company is in no
way to blame for the delay, but is one
of the sufferers together with the people.
The strike has not so far affected the
steel workmen on the Deschutes Rail-
