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.

In an effort to ascertain the advisa
bility of issuing an order compelling the

ASK BALDWIN HEIRS TO
. HELP STOCKHOLDERS
Los Angeles, Cat, Nov. 21. 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 local offi
cers had been notified to be on the
lookout for him, as it was said he had
floated his worthless paper in The
Dalles, Arlington and Cmatilla, Strand
found his name on the register of one
of the local hotels, but. on account of a
poor description, did not recognize tne
man himself until he presented a theck
for $10 to the proprietor. 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. All of
his checks were on either the First Na
tional or United States National of Port
land and were signed by the Continental
Distributing company of Seattle, per
L. V. Green.
