' V THEU)BEGON DAILY TJOURNAU, " PORTLAND. 5 FRIDV EVENING NOVEMBER 81 1913. - fa ARGUMEIm ARE MADE iON NONREGISTRATION LAW IN HIGHEST COUR T District Attorney and 'Attorneys - for City of Portland Have ' , Different Ideas. . ,v PalPtn. Or., Nov. 21. With District Attorney Walter Evans defending: the constltutiopality qt . tho 1,913 cotppul sory registration law, and City , At tnmev W. P. LaRoche and Deputy L. K. tatourette of Portland attacking It the suit for a writ of mandamus brought by the city of Portland against County Clerk John B. Coffey to re quire him to deliver to the city auditor the 1912 registration lists for use in the special city election to bo held in Portland next month, is being argued foro the supreme court today. Admitting that the new law is de ficient in a number of respects, dis trict Attorney Evans contended that i It Is constitutional and that the suit for a writ of mandamus was improp- erly brought, in that it seoka to compel 'u" the county clerk to act in the capacity f of a Judge in arbitrarily holding that 4 the law is unconstitutional, and that the old registration is still In force. He says the county clcrK, wno is f purely an administrative officer, can El , not do this. ' He also contended that the suit should have been brought in the name 3- of the state by the attorney general, Instead of by the city. . 5. Attorney Latourette argued that the city of Portland Is the interested psrty, and properly brought suit as the validity of the special election, and the possible authorization of a large i . bend issue, is at stake. He armed that the compulsory feat J" re of the law is unconstitutional as it would deprive an elector who might be absent from his precinct during the v period of registration of, the right of I suffrage. He also attacked the provision which . provides that if an elector loses his V certificate of registration, he must pro s' "duce witnesses to prove that the cer . tiricate was destroyed by a natural A." calamity. Otherwise, he declared, the elector would be barred from voting. Itxwas- pointed out that Of the 10, f SO voicra In Oregon. Iesa than SOOO aie registered under the 1913 law.

The State Railroad commission met her yesterday In an effort to ascertain the advisa bility of issuing an order compelling the two local telephone companies to inter change switching privileges between tbeir Woodburn and Hubbard centrals.

( The jolted. -.Telephone company operates both in Woodburn and Hub bard, and also throughout the rural districts, and the Favorite Telephone company operate In Woodburn and in -he rural districts, fp to October 1. . 112.-an. arrangement between . these tw companies allowed interswitqhlng wjtta the Hubban system, but on that datv Receiver B. N. Calvert of the I'ntied Telephone company, which bad become Insolvent few months prior, discontinued the arrangement and re fused any further service.

A representa tive of the North Pacific Lumber com pany is In town to negotiate for a site for av large saw mill plant to cut out their timber holdings contiguous to this point. The company has 'informed the busi ness men of Banks that if the town will furnish a suitable site they wl'i locate their mill here.

Mrs. Clara Baldwin 8toke and Mrs. Anita Baldwin McClaughry, daughters and heirs of the late Lucky Baldwin, have been asked today to go to the relief of 20,000 stockholders of the Los AnReles Investment company, which is under federal investigation. The company recently purchased from the Baldwin heirs the great CieneRas rancho, valued at $8,000,000. Less than half the purchase price was paid down. Another payment is due In February. , The Baldwin heirs have been asked to cancel the contract and deed to the stockholders the land equivalent of the money already paid. A hint of the tangible profits Portland may expect through the completion of tho LelUo canal and its consequent stimulus to water transportation on the Columbia, Is contained in the visit here yesterday of Alberta coal mine operators.1 They believe that when the Celllo canal is opened they can ship coal by rail from Crow's Nest pass to the upper Columbia, thence by water to fortland, supplying thus a coking and steaming coal at much less than is at present paid here. The mine operators were also Interested in the proposition to estab lish coal bunkers for the supply of ships entering the port of Portland, and were disappointed to find that the Port of Portland' commission has decided that. until the opening of the Panama canal, .It will not avail itself of authority granted by popular vote some years ago to sup ply coal to ships here at cost, approxi mately. They were unable to under stand why preparation, at least, should not be made, under the authority grant ed by the people. In the party were Jules Charbonnler, general manager of the West Canadian Colliers company of Blair More, Alberta; James S. Rannage, president of the Con tinental Coal company of Spokane, dis tributing agent, and Mr. Schmidt, assict ant to Mr. Charbonnler. They called upon the Chamber of Commerce and secured information about the local coal market. A ques tion not settled was whether coal could bo brought more cheaply to Port land, all by rail because of the gravity haul, or from car to boat or barge In the upper river. The cost by rail now Is about $4.25 a ton. The coal mine oper ators left Portland last night. Their visit here has aroused among Portland business men interesting dis cussion of the possibilities for opening new sources of coal supply, thus decreasing- the cost.' This, it Is said, would mean everything to manufacturers, and aid. greatly In , attracting new indue tries. Good eteamlng coal laid down here at a cheap price. It U pointed out, would also solve a serloua problem, that of coaling vessel while in port and making It unnecessary for them to go from here to Puget sound to coai. Coal may be brought from three, and possibly four, new" directions from CroWa Nest Pass In Alberta, north 6f Spokane: through the Panama canal, and from Vancouver island. It Js said that Vancouver Island steaming coal can be sold here at S4.25 to $4.50 a ton, and that the cheapest price on steaming , coai nere now is so.ou a amounts. In coaling vessels, must be added the cost of trimming Into blink ers, 35 to 45 cents a ton. The Panama canal. It is also argued, should make Jt possible to bring eastern coal at rates that will appeal. The fourth considera tion la the opening of coal mlnea In Alaska, dependent on government ad justment, and looked forward to as an Important source of coal supply. OFFICER ON HAND AS CHECK IS OFFERED Pendleton, Or., Nov. 21. L. V. Green of Portland came to grief yesterday morning when he attempted to puss a bogua check In the presence of Deputy Sheriff George Strand.

The propri etor summoned the officer and request ed him to Indorse the check. The arrest followed. Green will be taken to Arling ton to answer a charge there.
