I still generally calm and, reserved over
the apparently unprovoked attack upon
the Japanese In Sun Francisco, but it is
only out of deference to President Roose
velt and his administration and the con
fidence in them, that publio expression
of resentment is withheld.- Even the
most conservative and hopeful fear that
a repetition of a similar occurrence may
have serious results upon the relation
of the countrie. It 1 confidently hoped
thnt the Washington Government has
decided to take tep to prevent a repe

SHEEP INSPEGTIO
Washington Sheep Owners to
Test Oregon Law.
HARSH AND UNREASONABLE
la Order To Get Sheep To Herding
Grounds la Wtnaha Forest Reserve
They Must Cross Umatilla County-
Say Law Was Madt To Keep Them Out
PORTLAND, May 27. Washington
theepownera today filed two suits ia the
United State circuit court to test the
constitutionality of tht compulsory
sheep inspection law pased at the last
seeeion of the legislature. The suits
were identical a to charges. Tht first
is filed by Leon Jaussand, Felix Von
Hollcbeke, O. A. Holes, Camillo Meyer
and S. V. Davln. The other by H. G
Bryson and about a dozen other promi
nent eheepinea Tbt plaintiffs are all
members of the Wenaha Wool Growers'
Association. They asecrt that in order
to take their aheep from Washington to
their herding grounds, in tht Wenaha
forest reserve, It It necessary to cross
Umatilla County, Oregon, where they are
confronted by the authorities who insist
on strict observance of tht state law for
the inspection of sheep. They further
assert that this hi w waa enacted solely
to prevent Ahem from bringing their
herds into Oregon, and declare the law
unnecessarily harsh and unreasonable.
They contend theaw Is unconstitutional
because it is in contiovension of the sec
tion of the constitution which authorizes
Congress to regulate interstate com
merce, and also of the section which pro
vides that the sections of each state
shall be entitled to the privileges and
Immunities of thejjUlaens of the several
states." . ...; , ' '

cast wa again interrupted by th ex
haustion of tbt jury panel. The last
man la the second special venire was
disqualified this afternoon and Judge
Wood postponed tht trial until Friday
when Sheriff Shad Bodgia is to produce

ber wa Jocularly asked for by tht de
fense ia hope of changing tht luck that

Prior to tbe issuing of a new venire, E.
F. Richardson for the defense took ex
ception to the manner in which the jury
lists were drawn, intimating that as
effort was being made to avoid the
drawing of working men. He protested
against tha talesmen being drawn from
the farmer and mercantile classes rather
than from a body of citizens. Judge
Wood in reply said be had absolute con
fidence ia Sheriff Hodgin and he would
makt no suggestion to "him as to the
manner in which he madt up his lists.
Scruples against capital punishment

circumstantial evidence, rather than an
opinion that gave bias, wert tbt stum
bling blocks of tht talesmen txamined
today. Man after man averred he has
prejudice against taking life under any
circumstances and tbey all successfully
resisted the attempts to show thst the
belief had been recently or conveniently
adopted.
