preparation of ' complaints against
eight large restaurants for selling
liquor without licenses. .He expects

the law by the courts, the police, he
says, win at once serve warrants oi

"I am not sure that I can have the
proprietors of the eight places arrested
under any other lawhah the Cellars
ordinance," said the city attorney this
afternoon. I do not know whether
'vthey can be prosecuted on a charge
, Vof selling liquor without a license as
well as for selling liquor In a restaurant
without a restaurant license.' .
City Auditor Barbur says he never
made complaints against the restaurants
before the passage of the Cellars meas
ure because they had apparently com
plied with the law. Having only one
bar he thought that only one license fee
should be exacted of them. The two
grills that did pay the $300 tax had a
service bar as well as the saloon bar,
and therefore were only paying what in
the opinion of the auditor the law re
quires. ITlnetean Bell IJqnor.
There are In Portland 19 restaurants
which sell liquor. Of thesa the eight
to be prosecuted are the only ones that
have operated without licenses. The
liquor license com mine or that faction of
it which has held out for not giving any
more restaurants liquor licenses for less
than $800 a year will be asked by Coun
cilman Rushlight at the next meeting to
recommend to the council that all li

I OREGON'S VITAL ISSUE
' From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Rep.)
X Good faith and moral responsibility ought to determine the
J senatorial issue in Oregon; but, in the final analysis, there is more
X involved in the issue than the good faith and moral responsibility
of members of the present legislature of Oregon. The organic
rights of the people of Oregon, representing a residuary sovereign
X ty which must ever inhere in a. free people under our system of
government, are at stake, and if Hhese rights are sacrificed it will
be to the perpetual shame of the commonwealth.
Legislators jn. Oregon may break their promises; except oy
T moral suasion, by an apepal to their manhood and their, consciences; " r
X there is no way to. prevent them from violating the solemn pledges Z
they have made to the voters of the state.
T But before they heed the bad advice of men who are urging T
X them to ignore moral obligations" they have legally assumed, it
may be well-for them to take a reckoning lest they drift too far
X from safe mooring and plunge themselves and their state into X
X. l8They are told. that they'vvill do violence t the federal con-
X stitution if they heed the instructions of thfr people on the senator-, X
ship. It is not true.- The constitution empowers them to elect, the
senators from that-state; but it leaves them absolutely free to say in T
what manner they will determine a chotcej-if they elect,; as they
have elected, to refer the matter of a choice, to the people of Ore-
gon, and declare their purpose to abide by the preference thus T
expressed, they have a right to do so, and there is not a word or a ,X
syllable in "the federal constitution to condemn or nullify such , a .
-procedure.': , . ; ':': j:&lt:':":

COUP TRIAL
Candidate Meigs, for Speak

House, Stands Outside
While His Rival Gets Leg

(Special Dispatch to Tbe Journal.)
Centralis. Wash., Iec. 11. The meet
ing of the members of the next house
of representatives In the state legis
lature from southwestern Washington,
which was called for the purpose of
outlining a united plan of action for
securing needed legislation for state
roads and a state fair In southwestern
Washington, was diverted from its
original purpose and turned into a
meeting in the interest of J. W. Slay
den for speaker of the "house.
Slayden and his friends turned the
trick in a clever manner. P. M. Carl
yon of Thurston county ' was made
chairman of the meeting, which was
behind closed doors, and E. O. Erick
son of Tacoma was made secretary.
The southwestern politicians forgot all
about good roads and a state fair aft
er Mr. Erickson had occupied the floor
a few minutes, and when a pledge to
support , Slayden fpr- speaker of' 'the
next house was sprung on them they
signed It, forgetting to get Any prom
ises in return as to Important oom
mittee appointments, upon which will
depend the good roads and the state
fair nrnoosltion. .-
Of those who attended the meeting
onlv two refused to sign the pledge.
They are H.. W. Thompson of Lewis
county and C 3. Harris of, Thurston
county. Those who signed the pledge
were Dr. W. B. A. Beach, Mason coun
ty; G. D. Halferty, Chehalis county;
P. H. Carl von. Thurston county; H. W.
Hewett, Pacific county; Phil 8. Locke,
by proxy held by Dr. Beach; J. E.
Leonard. W. H. Kenoyer. Lewis coun
ty: K. L. French, Clarke county.
When the doors were closed on the
ytar chamber session O. V. Meigs of
North Yakima, with 49 signed pledges
from members of. the next house sup
porting 'his candidacy was on the out
side of the door and remained on that
side. He was willing to show his
pledges to anyone who wished to see
them. He did show them, and unless
some pledges are broken he had enough
In his pocket to elect him. But while
he had the pledges the rival candidate
had the audience, while Meigs stood out
side in the cold. After the meeting Mr.
Slayden refused to say how many votes
he had secured.
Those who attended the meeting
were: J. J. Bell. P. G. Shutt, E. O.
Erickson. J. J. Cameron, Peter Davis
and J. W. Slayden. all of Pierce county;
H. H. Fatland, Pierce county: P. H.
Carlyon and C. G. Morris, Thurston

B. Hewett Chehalis county; G. D. Hal
ferty. Chehalis county; J. E. Leonard.
H. W. Thompson. W. H. Kenoyer. all of
Lewis county. A committee composed
of E. L. French, T. J. Hell, Peter David,
Dr. W. E. A. Beach and C. P. Halferty
was appointed to see the other members
of the house from southwestern Wash
ington in counties that were not repre
sented, and attempt to line them up for
Slayden.
A committee of cltiaehs fro Chehalis
and Centralia was In Chehalis to work
In the Interest of a fair for southwest
ern Washington. After waiting several
hours, while the meeting proceeded be
hind closed doors, the committee was ad
mitted and stated Its business. The
pledges were then safely in the posses
sion of Mr. Slayden and what he tokj
tho committee gave no cause for en
thusiasm. t

Finns, father and son, on trial In the
circuit court for the murder of T. J.

escape the hangman'B noose by
cutting his throat with a razor In
his cell in the jail.
Although he succeeded In serious
ly wounding himself, he did not in
flict a fatal injury, and a few hours
later, wheezing and gasping, the air
crackling horribly through his sev

the witness-stand in his own behalf
and tell bis story of the killing of

of the officers of the prosecution will
have to be delayed for a while.
When Johnson was searched at the
jail, after having been brought back
from the hospital, a letter was found
in his trouse-rs pocket, written in Fin

PREPARING FOR
GREAT STRUGGLE
Shippers and Carriers Will
Lock Horns Over the
Freight Rates.
Hy John E. Lathrop.
Washington, Dec. 11. Predicting the
greatest struggle between shippers and
carriers that has marked recent discus
slons of freight rate matters, attaches
of the Interstate commerce commission
are carrying out orders from the com
missioners to check up new tariffs that
have been filed by the railroads. The
task has been merely begun but al
ready, it Is clahned, surprise has been
evinced by Important members of the
commission's forces, at what they re
gard as heavy increases affecting trans
continental freights both eastward and
westward.
About 50 tariffs have been checked at
this time but I was informed quite
autnoritalively that tne increases run
from five to 25 per cent, The theory
nas neen lormea, on me oasis or in
vestigations thus far carried on, that
the average of the increases will likely
be more than the 10 per cent which
carriers have been alleging is necessary
for them to realise the Increased reve
nues needed to meet alleged existing
ennriltionn '
It is claimed that if the increases
prbvrfled for In these new' tariffs be
permitted, with the recent increase al
lowed carriers on eastbouhd lumber
from the Pacific coast, the .entire sys
tem of freight of all classes in all busi
nesses will be affected materially.
No one here questions that the ship
pers of the coast, as well. an those at all
points eastward . whose Interests will
be influenced by these increases will
take part in the fight which will do
velop Into a struggle greater than any
witnessed in recent years over traffic
matters. ; , -' ; ' : .
I am Informed by mh who have tnirt
me they believed It probable that the
shippers will invoke the Sherman anti

San Francisco, Dee. 11. Ths satlsfaa.
tlon of the directors of the graft pros
ecution over the conviction of Ruef Is
shown in the following four statements
made toda:
Special Prosecutor Francis J. Hsney
said: -
"The people of San Francisco and of
the state of California owe a debt of
gratitude to the 12 men who have given
more than three months of their time
and submitted to what was practically
imprisonment, in the performance of tho
most important public duty which, an
American citizen can be called on to
execute. It Is needless to say that I
am deeply gratified with -the results- I
fully expected a conviction If none of
the jurors - had been reached by tho
agents of Ruef, -and it is evident that
they were all honest." ...,.
Hiram W. Johnson, who made tha
final summing up for the prosecution,
said: '. ...
"Yesterday's victory -means more to
San Francisco than a score of triumphs
in warfare. We have disproved that our
law Is a sham and our administration
of justice a travesty. Ruef 'a race Is
run. His conviction sounds the death
knell of his system and that of his
accomplices public service -corporations
the system by which a politico! boss
ells to. the equally guilty corporation
boss, privileges and rights which be
long to all the people. Henceforth
i.uefs personality will be eliminated
from this cltv." . 1 ' - i
Bnef on Boad to tb Fen. .
"The public is familiar with the evi
dence presented by the - people in the
Ruef case. From that evidence it was
apparent that no honest jury could do
other than find a verdict of guilty. Tha
conviction of Ruef Is but a forerunner
or other convictions. ' The craft oros-
ecutlons will go on until it is demon
strated that San Francisco . is capahls
of enforcing Its laws and that courts
and juries are not a mockery and 4
snam. iu arcn criminal or San Fran
cisco Is now on his way to the penlton-.
tlary."
Detective William J. Burns said:
"The verdict rendered by the jury in ,
the ' Ruef case is a vindication- of th
fieople of San Francisco the law nblri
ng people of the city. .The conviction '
clearly demonstrated that, once publics i
opinion is aroused, the people can be
depended upon. This verdict shows that
right minded, honest men cannot fail
to discern the guilt of Abe Ruef. Ths
howling pro-graft press, that has been
a stumbling block to the prosecution of
crime in this city, must read in thnt
verdict the signs of tho times. - It was
plainly the people's victory." - - .
Ths Bsndsrinr of -the Verdict.
The verdict was returned at a few
minutes past 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. There was no demonstration, nor
even confusion in the courtroom, since
the precautions for preserving .order !
were complete.- -
Ruef declined to make any statement.
Henry Ach is ill, and was not in tha
courtroom, but later he said the verdict
was due to Special Prosecutor John

address to the Jury. The jurors, how-,
