Police Cox that houses of evil repute
were being conducted on the east side of
Fourth street between Davis and

an officer' to do Ma duty and see that
the laws . against these places be
obeyed. He then sent notice to Sheriff
fiivn and Constable Lou Wagner to
the same effect and states that be' will
take the matter up. with Mayor Simon
thl afternoon.
Attorney King received an assurance
from Chief of Police Cox this morning
that he would see that the public was
not annoyed by these people but did not
set a definite statement that the women
would be ejected. Chief Cox called at
tention to the fact that the women were
not operating in rooms opening on tne
streets. Constable Lou Wagner, on
learning that this notice had been sent
out, stated that he would certainly be
called upon to enforce the laws. --
"When notice is sent to me calling
my attention to these Immoral practices,
which I certainly know are going on, I
can Qo nothing else than go down there
and arrest every person whom J nnu

by drinking; the contents of a bottle of
laudanum. He was found shortly after
7 o'clock this morning bjr a chamber
maid of the hotel who tried to awaken
him In his room, No. 143., At the time
he was in an unconscious condition and
was removed at once by the Red Crosa
ambulance to the Good Samaritan hos

Efforts to revive him by stimulants
and electric batteries administered -by
DC. P. J. Zelgler at the hospital failed
and he died shortly after 10 o'clock. He
did not regain consciousness after being
found in his room: Just when he took
the Uudunum is unknown, as he retired
late last night with no intimation . of
his act. - -- v
Mr. Simpson was a man 67 - years of
age who came here six months ago
from La Crosse, Wis. He left- bis fam
ily there, having had some trouble with
them. - He opened the restaurant about
four months ago and is said to have met
with financial difficulties and this is
supposed to be the reason for his sul
Harms who was called with the patrol

SESSION

'In'the present case the amendment
originates with the congress. There is
no need therefore for summoning: a na
tional convention. It rests with con
gress to decide whether the method -f
ratification shall be by the state legis
lature or by a state convention. In
this case congress has determined that
the ratification shall be by legislature
and the states sre obliged to conform
with the determination.
Governor Weed jrot turn.
After the governor of a state receives
the resolution properly certified he sub
mits it to the legislature. Here his
function ends. He need riot even sign
the ratification act. A governor of Now
Hampshire once vetoed an amendment.
it waa never fully tested in the courts.
but It Is held by the state department
that his action would have no effect.
After each house of- the- state- legis
lature has ratified the act the question
is closed so far as that state is con
cerned. It can never reconsider its ac
tion. If it fails to ratify, however, it
can reconsider its action and ratifica
tion later will be effectual. Three
states attempted to withdraw their ratl
flcation of the fourteenth 'amendment.
' out they were prevented by congress.
There is no limit within which a state
may take action on amendment - after
It has been submitted. If three fourths
of the states fall to ratify the Income
tax amendment Immediately it will be
come effective whenever they do. even
19 It Is not for an indefinite number of
years. In 1873 the Ohio state senate
ratified an amendment submitted In
1739.
- Twelve State Can Block It.
Twelve states can block the ratifica
tion of the Income tax amendment. If
at any future tlmo any one of those
11 should ratify the tax amendment it
would be adopted as a part of the con
stitution. .
When a state ratifies an amendment
the state's secretary of state sends a
certified copy of. the action to the sec
retary of. state of the United States.
The federal secretary of state is charged
with the duty of determining when a
sufficient number of ratifications have
been received. -
As soon aa he receives a sufficient
number he .issues ' a proclamation de
claring that the amendment has been
adopted. No action is required of the
president When adopted it is printed
on parchment and after being tested by
the secretary of atate Is deposited In
the stfe with the constitution and other
amendments.- ;

Finger of City's Progress
- Steadily Upward.
"There Is no better evidence of a
clty'a prosperity than its postoffice re
ceipts, said .Assistant Postmaster Wil
liamson this afternoon, "which accounts
for our feeling so good about the figures
for Portland for July."
The business done by the Portland
postoffice,- money secured from the sale
of stamps, from the rent of boxes, from
the sale of money orders everything
totals-$t4,670.30. as against 55.121.4
for the same month in 1908. This is an
increase of $9,448.81 17.14 per cent
The increase of June receipts over
last year waa 110,339.48 18.92 percent.
"What does us so much feood." said
Mr. Williamson, 'is that 'every month
shows a good, substantial increase over
the .corresponding month for last year.
This shows better than anything else
could show that the growth of Portland
is steady and substantial."

Convicts Raise Game Birds.
From the Seattle Times.
' A novel experiment is In process of
development at the McNeil island fed
era! penitentiary; near Tacoma, where
the convicts are rearing Chinese pheas
ants and Rouen call ducks for the mar
ket, affording the prisoners a diversion
that relieves their minds from the pall
of prison life and. gives them a small in
come, which they are' devoting to the
purchase of. books, newspapers and
cnagazlnes, and which has enriched them
also by a phonograph, the vocal and in
strumental strains from which resound
to thein delight through corridors and
cells. The experiment Is the result of
an idea which originated with United
States Marshal C B. Hopkins, whose
headquarters is in Seattle, and who ad
vanced the prisoners the necessary fund
for the purchase of original stock.
- Pens, yards and coops have been built
by the prisoners, who have regarded the
task as much more of a diversion than
a labor. Under the careful handling the
birds have received, good progress has
been made, until now the penitentiary
has a goodly array of both ducks and
pheasants ready for the market.
In the beginning a pair of Rouen'
ducks was Imported from France, the
native ground, and the best specimens
of Chinese, pheasants were obtained.
The Initial outlay was something jnore
than $100. Both breeds are well adapt
ed to the climate of Puget sound, where
the Chinese bird has for years been well
known. . The Rouen ducks are used as
decoy birds, as they will call in wild
ducks to the retreat where- they have
been placed by the hunter.
Something fewer than 100 prisoners
are held in the Puget sound peniten
tiary. Many are from Alaska, there
being no federal prisons In the north.

It is desired that the lightship be

be moved over into the south channel,
