He then told of how he. Madding and Mrs. . Waymlre had kept house on Fourth and Montgomery streets, and how he had paid for the groceries. He said he had agreed to pay $8 a week for his board. The witness told of his having learned v, of the visits being made by Mrs. Way mire to the mayor's office and of his ; having remonstrated with her. He said she grew angry and told him her vls- : Its were her own business.

OREGON 10- LAW IS UPHELD Federal' Supreme Court Af firms Statute in Deciding Muller Case. (Wnblngton Barrto of Tb Journal.) Washington, Feb. 24. The United States supreme court today affirmed the Judgment of the Oregon supreme court in the case of Curt Muller against the state of Oregon, Involving the fin lng of Muller for violation of the Ore gon law regulating the employment of females ln any mechanical or meroan tile establishment, laundry, hotel or res taurant, and restricting the workday to 10 hours. Muller was fined by the circuit court for Multnomah county and appealed to the state supreme court, where tha Judgment was affirmed. W. D. Fenton arid H. H. (Jllfred appeared for Muller. Tha deoislon quite broadly sustains tha Oregon statute.

(CLOTHING CO CixJKiihnPitp ; "jeWGS Tfaixfl Street The Baptist ministers ln their weekly meeting this morning continued (he dis cussion of laHt week on whether man Is naturally the child of God or of tha devil. A warm debate filled the entire hour and at the close of the session each retained his former views prob ably ln eplte of the fact that each speaker averred that his speech settled toe matter finally. Countless Quotations from scripture calling God the father of man were brought to bear on the one side, which was chiefly championed by Mr. Lapham, Mr. Schwlgler. Mr. Edmunds. Mr. Mln- aker and Mr. Cook. On the other side Mr. Monroe and Mr. Leonard were the chief dissenters and Mr. Jordan seemed to take a half way position reconciling the two sides. The debate hlnited upon the question of infant salvation. One side held that tho ntoneuient of Christ orgave the Adamlo sin at the birth of the child and that the child was in a naturally (saved condition till it reached the age of knowledge, when It could choose its own way, when it could distinguish be tween right and wrong and could make a delihf-rate choice and bo be beld responsible. The other side maintained that every child chooses naturally the wronar be cause of the natural depravity of the race descendant from Adam; that to attain salvation and to enjoy the bene fits of Christ's atonement one must be regenerated, and that one Is not saved till such choice la made. Mr. Jordan held that the whole solution lay in the correction of an error concerning the fatherhood cf God; that there are two, the natural fatherhood and the ac- ? uired fatherhood which comes later rofn deliberate choice. There was a good deal of argument about tho scripture quotations. When the fatherhood of God was auoted the opposing side held that the "God Is your rather quotations were addressed to the Jews who had accepted him and thus availed themselves of the atone ment; and the other side held that the "Ye are the children of tho devil" quo tation referred to the deliberate choice of Christ's enemies to serve the devil and not to any natural birth ln thj devil. Adjournment left the debators in the same positions. The Muller case Is one that attracted the attention of tha courts and bar of this state several years ago, on account of the constitutional question Involved. Curt Miller, the defendant ln tha case, was tried before Judge Sears ln tha cir cuit court of this county on the charge of violating a state law, which provided that in mercantile esiaDiisnmenis, mo torics, laundries, etc.. no woman should be employed to work for more than 10 hours ln one day. Muller was the pro prietor of a steam laundry ln which he wonted women, wun meir consent, more than 10 hours par day. In tha trial before Judge Sears be was convicted and appealed the case to the state supreme court, where the Judg ment of the lower court was sustained. Muller's attorneys appealed the case to the United states supreme court ana made the argument that the Oregon statute under which Muller was con victed is ln violation of the Fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. In that It sought to abridge the right of a citizen to make a contract. The supreme court evidently takes the view that women are not citizens in ine fullest sense of the term, as It sustains ln full the Oregon statute limiting their right to make contracts. Neuhausen Leaves Tonight. Thomas B. Neuhausen, inspector of the Interior department, will leave this evening for Los Angeles, where he goes to asslKt ln the efrorts of Tracey C.

(United Praai Leased Wire.) Guyaqullr Ecuador, Feb. 24. A fire in the village of Daule, near this port, has destroyed six houses. Tho work on tha railroad henca to Quito, which has been suspended by reason or tna disagreement oetween tne government and the contractor, has Been resumed with a large working force and new vigor. Lucius Irons, whose home is In a scow anchored ln the river about a mile below the Northern Pacific saw mill, reported to the police yesterday that someone had attempted to blow up his floating domicile about 8:30 o'clock Saturday evening. He says that at the hour named some person rowed up to the scow, attached an ex plosive the end of the boat, lighted the tuQ and rowed away. A minute later an explosion resulted which blew a hole in the end of the scow, causing it to paniaiiv nil with water. Irons declared oenevea tne worn or wrecking was aone Henry Baker, of the river. He expressed an Inten tion of going before a Justice ...of the peace and procuring a warrant for with ntr niuiniiif hid i-oiiimiiik toW,theVo."e that he i Xn vlughnTs'cU of wrecking the boat ; LTaSa,"hll.lACllrr ness for more than 10 years and that his business had been ruined because the wholesalers refused to sell him goods because he was not a member of the as sociation. Mr. Oilman testified that whereas his business In new furniture alone amounted to 180,000 a year, he had not been able to purchase $1,000 worth of furniture slnoe the associations were formed. BeUerea Combination Exists. Mr. Oilman said his credit had never been questioned and replied that he al ways discounted his bills when asked whether the refusals to sell him goods were made on account of his financial standing. He said that many of the men who refused to deal with him be cause of the order Issued by the whole sale dealers' association were life-long friends, and named several firms whom he had helped tide over ln times of trouble. He said that he had a suit coming up ln the United States circuit court against the various associations and dealers for a lirge sum which repre sented the amouiu of his losses at the time the suit was filed due to the re-J fusals to sell him stock. Lawyer i. P. Price, who at one time was assistant secretary of the North west Furniture exchange, an association of wholesalers, was the next witness. He stated that he did not know of an association In existence at the present time among furniture men. Both Kal Ischner and Oilman testified that from their experience they believed thnt the furniture dealers had a secret under standing among themselves to fix prices and restrict sales.

"The majority of the people ln east ern Oregon feel that a return to the old system would be the worst thing that could possibly' happen to the state ln a political way. Statement No. 1 has buzzed ln the ears of every voter ln the eastern portion of the state since It has been agitated, and a close analysis of the situation shows that all are hearti ly in favor of its retention. "Freedom from the control of bosses and corporations In the election of United States senators is demanded by the people.

In all cases where filth was found warning was issued to the owners to clean up and thev were told that if the places were not clean when the health officers returned the proprietors would be prosecuted. In no case did tho owner refuse to disobey the in junction of the health officers, and a reformation for cleanliness can be ex pected in the restaurants that will eaual the purification of the Chinese quarters secured by the same officers several months ago. Dr. Parker has been energetic In the crusade to clean up the city of disease breeding spots and the work accom- lished nas resulted in much good. s work ln Chinatown was so thor- . i plif Ills ough and systematic that nearly every Chinaman ln that quarter knows him at eight.
