6 THE ST7NDAY OREGOTTA!, PORTLAND, .TT7XE 15. 1913. MANAGER SENTENCED TO JAIL Judge McGinn Holds Company Violated Law by Mis branding Butter. 30 DAYS' TERM IS GIVEN several thousand, while the California crowd aggregated more than 1000. Seat tle and the Puget Sound country con tributed their usual share. The Im mediate environs of Portland sent in whole carloads at a time, so the 30,000 mark, it is safe to say, was attained and exceeded. And that is a record for festival at tendance. They used to talk about 200.000 and 2S0.000 and something was said once about 350,000 or something equally as absurd, but no one ever took such extravagant calculations serious ly. They had about 200,000 people in Chicago last Summer for the Repub lican National Convention, and It choked the town, so let Portland be de livered from receiving any crowd Just like that at least for a while yet. Bigger Crowds Likely. After indulging in such wild specula tions kt is just as well to get back CBrcnit Jurist, In Ordering Charles H. Sommer to Cell, Says He Is Sorry He Cant Reach "Hlgner Ups" Appeal to Be Taken. Sentence o-f 80 days in the County Jail was yesterday passed on Charles H. Commer, local manager for Armour & Co.. by Judge Henry E. McGinn, of the Circuit Court, on appeal from a de cision In Justice Court last February that his company should pay a fine of 125 for violation of the Oregon law relating to the branding of butter. Sommer's attorney at once announced that an appeal would be taken to the Oregon Supreme Court. "I regret exceedingly that Armour & Co.'fl local manager. Instead of some of the men higher up in that concern, must pay the penalty which T am about to Impose." said Judge McGinn in pro nouncing sentence, "but this thing must ipnd. After this I will pronounce only Jail sentences in such cases as this. A fine would only be assessed back on I be consumer." Mr. Sommer, as manager of Armour & Co.'i local plant, was convicted on two counts in Justice Court last Feb ruary, the cases being brought by State Dairy and Food Commissioner Mlckle under what is known as the butter law of 1911. One conviction was for sell ing packages of butter weighing under :;2 ounces, and the other lor misDrana- ing the packages. The fine was $25 in both cases, and both were appealed. The appeal was withdrawn In the short weight case and the fine paid. Law Wot Followed. In the case which was decided yes terday. Armour & Company was charged with branding packages of butter "32 ounces when packed instead or 3 ounces full weight," as the law pre-! scribes. This was admitted by the com pany, whose attorney maintained .that in guaranteeing 32 ounces when packed the packer had done all that could, be expected of him. Judge McGinn ruled that the law means that the consumer shall receive full 32 ounces of butter, after allowance has been made for the shrinkage, which the company contended made it impos sible to comply with that provision of the law. "There never lias been a time In my memory," said. Judge McGinn, "that a Legislature has undertaken to regulate or prescribe rules of conduct for a cor poration that that corporation has not put up a cry that It would be Impos sible to comply with the law, that it would put the corporation out of busi ness If enforced, and so on- The rail road safety appliance law is an illus tration. When It came before Congress, the railroads one and all cried that they oould not comply with its provisions, and that to attempt to do so would mean bankruptcy. Yet they all man aged to comply in the 18 months given by Congress, and today you cannot find a railroad man who will say that the law Is not a good thing. I. aw Held to Be IUKh tcoua. "The Legislature has undertaken to give the consumer 32 ounces of butter when sold, not when packed. This is only common honesty, and the law Is a Just and righteous one." The decision was rendered In the presence of several prominent butter packers, who had been cailea as wit nesses by Armour & Company, and who testified to the effect that, owing to shrinkage from evaporation and leakage. It is Impossible for them to guarantee 32 full ounces to the consumer. State Dairy and Food Commissioner Micklo testified that if liutter is sold in .. .,.! condition the slivinkage from the time it is packed until it is sold to the consumer is inconsiderable, thus .ontradicting one of the strong points or the defense. "This decision pleases me greatly. aid Commissioner Mlckle last night. "It puts backbone In the law and holds up the hands of the Dairy and Food Commissioner. It will help me Im measurably In my work of enforcing the law." "It seems to me quite evident that the so-called butter law of 1911, al though ostensibly enacted as a pure food law. is nothing more nor less than en attempt to shut out legitimate com petition." said A. E. Gebhardt, attorney for Armour Company. "A careful reading of section 4 of said act, which has been declared unconstitutional. Is convincing on this point." lefendiint'f Attorney Confident. Mr. Gebhardt was one of tha attor neys In the Goodhue case, in which the Oregon Supremo Court decided that section i was unconstitutional, and he Is confident that on his appeal of the Armour & Company case section 3 of tha law, which relates to the weight and branding of butter, will share the same fate. "I make no comment on Judge Mc Ginn's decision." said Mr. Gebhardt. "The question Involved in this case was not one of short weight, but of misbranding, and consequently was principally a legal one. "Section 3 of the act of 1911 pro vides that all butter sold, or exposed or offered for sale in rolls, prints or squares within the State of Oregon, shall be plainly marked, 'eight ounces, full weight,' 'sixteen ounces, full weight,' 'twenty-four ounces. full weight.' and 'thirty-two ounces, full weight. The defendant used. Instead, the label 'thirty-two ounces, when packed.' We claim that the words "full weight,' as required by the law, are intended to force the manufacturer to guarantee that the weight of the roll or print shall be thirty-two ounces at all times until It reaches the consumer. which is manifestly a practical lmpos nihility. We claim that this is an un reasonable and arbitrary exercise of the police power of the state, and therefore unconstitutional and void. Our Supreme Court has already de olared section 4 of the said law un constitutional, and we anticipate the same result when this case shall re ceive due and careful consideration by -ald court, to which we have taken an appeal. POBTLASD GIRL RECEIVES HIGH DEGREE FROM EAST BAN UNIVERSITY. : NEW POLICE CHIEF MAY BE JOHN CLARK Former Head of Police of Paul Considered by Mayor-Elect. St, RECORD Of 20 YEARS TOLD Reputation as One of Best Chiefs in Country That Held by Man Who May Be Named for Position July 1. postmaster of Woodburn was fought by the Democratic County central com mittee on the ground that he is a Re publican, today took the oath of office. "Rt." Mr. Guiss said, was a name giv en him by his parents and that he did not understand what it meant. He ex plained that there was no period after the abbreviation and that it had no ec clesiastical significance. Affection for his parents had caused him to continue its use. Mr. Guiss said the charge of Daniel J. Fry. chairman of the Democratic central committee, that he was a Re publican was false. He admitted hav ing registered as a Republican In 1912, but said he did it in order to aid a friend who was a candidate on the Re publican ticket, Mr. Guiss admitted It was a mistake, however, for his friend was decisively defeated. "I have always been a Democrat and always Intend to be one," continued the new postmaster. "All my friends know I am a Democrat." Tie fact that Mr. Guiss registered twice as a Republican and had been considered a Republican had caused the Democratic organization to oppose him, and Postmaster-General Burleson has been appealed to for his removal. Miss Miriam Van Waters. Miss Miriam Van Waters, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. George R Van Waters, of 482 East Twenty-fifth street North, has received the degree of doctor of philosophy at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., according to a telegram received by her father yesterday. Miss Van Waters, who has lived all her life in Portland, was graduated from the University of Oregon in 1908, and two years later received the d agree of mas ter of arts from that institution. Three years ago she became a fellow in Clark University. Mies Van Waters has been pre paring a book on adolescent psychology Jointly with Dr. Smith, of Clark University. She will return to Portland about July 1 and will probably take up some work along educational lines. down to earth and speak of the at tendance figures as they really are. This year they are, or were about 36.000, and maybe as high as 60.000, and that's pretty good. Next year it ought to be beaten. No doubt it will be better. The retirement of Mr. Hoyt as pres ident and of Mr. Hutchln as general manager will necessitate the reorgan lzation of the festival association to a certain extent, but this surely will be done. The part that the Royal Rosarians took in promoting the success of this year's event was by no means lnsig nlflcant. Their appearance In the parades was an Inspiration, Their gen erous use of their own time and money In the entertainment of visitors added materially to the happy results ob tained in the week. It is probable, too, that this lively organisation will continue as a permanent adjunct to the festival Itself. Parades Are Successful. For the first four days the weather was Ideal. The parades were highly successful. The automobile parade on Wednesday proved disappointing to many who had seen the automobile parades at previous festivals, but the others were up to the usual high standard. Threatening weather last night kept the crowd that saw the electrical pa rade to smaller proportions than that of last Tuesday. It was an undemon strative crowd, though. The splendor and glitter of the wonderfully con ceived and marvelously constructed floats perhaps awed the people. Per haps it was the absence of all-but one band in the parade. The combined police and firemen's band at the head of the pageant was the only music Lack of funds made it necessary to eliminate the other bands. Inasmuch as the festival association will face a deficit anyway, the managers decided to cut expenses on last night's paraae. hue this detracted from the musical treat, it did not lessen the spectacular value. Following the parade, however, th( crowd broke out in Joyous demonstra tion, and merry carnival reigned upon the streets until midnight. While Mayor-elect Albee will not so state at this time. It is believed that John Clark, special agent for the Great Northern Railway and formerly Chief of Police at St. Paul. Minn., for 20 years, will be appointed. Chief of the Portland department, to take effect July 1. When asked, the direct question yes terday, the Mayor-elect declined to say whether or not lie will appoint Mr. Clark, but he did say that Mr. Clark's name is being considered seriously as a fit man for the position and that he had not decided, definitely. Mr. Clark is aged 63 years, has a family and lives at 631 East Eighteenth street North. He Is 6 feet and 3 Inches In height and weighs about 250 pounds, being accounted as an almost perfect specimen of manhood. Mr. Clark has been living In Portland or at least his headquarters have been here, for several years, but his repu tatlon as a Chief of Police Is known all over the country. He served at the head of the St. Paul department through numerous admlnlsrations, both Republican and Democratic. In fact. the citizens were so highly pleased with him that at election times there was popular demand on all Mayoralty candidates to know whether, if elected, they would retain Clark at the police department's head. Friends who had known Mr. Clark for many years and who felt that he would make a fine chief for the Port land department, called to the atten tion of Mayor-elect Albee his record, and it is understood that Mr. Albee has seriously considered him for more than a week Mr. Clark had recommenda tions of the highest grade. In fact, he referred to "any business man In St. Paul" as to his record and standing. diaries Pray, a Federal secret service man attached to the District Attorney's office here, has been mentioned promi nently for the position of chief of the local polios, also. His friends have been active in his behalf. Stephen Connell, who held the office of Secret Service Agent In Portland for several years, but who has been transferred to another post, was also mentioned as being good timber for the plaoe. Appointment of a Chief of Police Is among the more Important duties of Mayor-elect Albee, as he has retained for himself the department of public safety, under which head cornea among other things, the police. He being re sponsible for their conduct. Is given the right to name the department head. IS EXPERT ACCOUNTANT BECOMES CORPORATION AUDITOR.

"The Hom age of Brazil to George Washington" was the Inscription on the large wreath of roses and orchids which Dr. Iauro Muller, Braxillan Minister of Foreign Affairs, placed today on the tomb of the great American.

Toasts to the friendship of the two na tions, to President Wilson and ohers SALEM, Or, June 14. (Special.) A. C. Libby, president of the league which has referred to the people several bills appropriating money for buildings and other purposes for the University of Oregon, announced today that he will file suit to enjoin Secretary of State Ol cott from calling a special election in November for the reference of bills, provided for under the Day bilL Mr. Libby, who was a member of the 1911 Legislature, came to this city to, ob tain a copy of Judge Galloway's opin ion as to the Day bill being unconsti tutional and to confer with friends re garding contemplated action to pre vent the holding of the special election. Informed that Secretary of State Ol cott would call the special election, de spite Judge Galloway's opinion, unless other action was taken to obtain a decision by the Supreme Court, he said that he would as soon as possible start the injunction proceedings. Attorney General Crawford agrees with Judge Galloway that the bill Is unconstitu tional, while other able lawyers uphold the measure. The proposed action of Mr. Libby, however, la welcomed by the friends and enemies of the bill, for It is realized the question should be defi nitely determined before the bills are voted upon at the special election Secretary of State Olcott says the de cision of Judge Galloway will not pre vent his calling the election for It was not rendered in a case specifically In volving that point. In his opinion holding that the petitions to refer the dentistry bill were irregular and void, the court incidentally announced that In his opinion the Day bill was uncon stltutlonaL Because of the points be ing coupled it is said that an appeal so far as the Day bill is concerned could not be made. As a result Mr. Libby says he will bring the injunction suit so as to get a decision on this question before the time for calling the election It was reported some time ago that the league, which Mr, Libby represents, planned a referring of the University appropriation bills In order to delay a vote on the bills until the next gen era! election. The reason for this, says the report. Is to permit the league to initiate a measure for the consolidation of the University with the Agricultural College. It Is further planned to have the people vote on this proposition the same time they vote on the bills to be referred. The Attorney-General has held that no bills can be initiated at the special election, and should the Day bill be de clared unconstitutional, the Un! ver slty appropriation bills could not be referred until the next general election. Chief Examiner Vincent Announces He Will Make Personal Exami nations Throughout State. Following on the appointment of S. B. Vincent, of Portland, as chief ex aminer In the office of Ralph A. Wat son, State Corporation Commissioner, John V. Richardson was named yes terday as corporation auditor. Miss Mary E. McMahon. at present employed by a local contracting company, will be secretary and stenographer in the office. Mr. Richardson was a candidate for the position of City Auditor in the late election here, being defeated by A. L. liarbur. e Is a member or the ex pert accountant firm of Richardson and McS. Ball. He will work partly under the direction of Commissioner Watson and partly under the direction of J. W. Ferguson, State Insurance Commis sioner, who has charge of the bureau of uniform accounting, created by the last Legislature. The act under which Mr. Ferguson will work provides for a system to be put Into vogue by the Insurance Com missioner which shall give a uniform acounting and reporting for all coun ties and state Institutions and an an nual auditing of the same. "My idea," said Mr. Richardson, "is to consult with the county officers and numerous persons of years of expe rience to devise forms and methods and principles of accounting, so as to in sure simplicity and which will result in obtaining clear and concrete records By their use we can readily determine at any time by segregated accounts the purpose for which they receive or oolleot money, to whom paid and for what purpose, as well as the amount to the credit of each account and the summary of the true balances in each fund. "The desire Is to see public affairs placed on the same high standard and income basis as those of successful commercial enterprises: the Introduc tion of more efficient methods of pur chasing supplies, supported by evi dence of deliveries, an examination of public records and obtaining for the official a report of approval of his acts and giving him a clean bill of health when his term expires." In bis capacity aa chief examiner of corporations Mr. Vincent expects to devote considerable time to traveling about the state, so as to get Into thorough touch with his work. He will make It a practice to take personal charge of cases requiring special atten tion and in this manner anticipates that he will be called frequently to va rious sections of Oregon. In this man ner, he believes, he will be able to ac complish better results than were he to attempt too much work by means of correspondence.

WASHINGTON, June 14. Viscount Chin da, the Japanese Ambassador, has advised Secretary Bryan that Japan Is willing to renew for another period of five years her arbitration treaty with the United States, which expires by limitation August 24. Secretary Bryan, making the an nouncement today, said he expected the Senate would ratify the new arbitra tion treaties already signed with Great Britain and other countries despite the opposition. No date for the signing of the Japanese renewal has been deter mined. The Senatorial opposition which Secretary Bryan expects to overcome. was originally voiced by Senator Cham berlain, who Insisted that In renewing treaty wl th Great Britain, specific exceptions should be made to remove the Panama Canal tolls controversy from the field of arbitration. The Ques tion of arbitrating the issue with Ja pan over the California alien land law also has been a subject of discussion among Senators opposed to renewing that arbitration treaty. Presidont Wilson has had frequent conferences over the arbitration treaties with Senators at the White House and at the Capitol. Members of the foreign relations' committee likewise have been frequent callers at Secretary Bryan's office. Bryan today would not say on Just what representations he based his ex pectation that the arbitration treaties would receive Senatorial approval. Corner Broadway and Morrison R. M. Gray's .

Chamberlain, agricultural ex pert for the Hill lines, addressed a good sized audience In the Commercial Club rooms last night. He advised the farm ers to raise only the best livestock and to handle their herds in such a way that when they wanted to sell they would bring a better class of purchas ers.

AVife Soys McClanghry Begrudged Money Spent to Keep Up Home and Refused to Let Her Be With Her Children. LOS ANGELES, June 14. (Special.) Convinced, apparently, that life with her husband, Hull McClaughry, is im possible, Mrs. Anita Baldwln-Mc- Claughry, daughter of the late E. J. ("Lucky") Baldwin, tiled sun ior ui- vorce here today. While the divorce papers are closely guarded, it is learned that the ground on which Mrs. McClaughry seeks the divorce is extreme cruelty. The result of this cruelty, practiced without cause or provocation on the part of Mrs. Mc Claughry, she avers, is that her nerv ous system is wrecked. Household expenses were another sore spot. He objected to incurring them for the conduct of their home, although he was well able to discharge all obligations, she says. She also charges that he was Insulting, not only In the privacy of their home but In the presence of other persons. McClaughry struck tha deepest wound. It appears, when he refused to permit her t see or have the compan ionship of the children. There was a period of about eight months prior to June, 1910, when, she alleges, he refused to permit her to have the society of the children except for short periods. She says he fre quently disappeared with the boy and girl, forcing -her to employ detectives to trace them, fearful ail the time that they might be Injured. Whether Mrs. McClaughry made financial demands or proffered a money settlement could not be learned today. HABEAS CORPUS VICTOR CASTLE ROOK MA3CS TLEA WEVS WITH COURT.
