(Saloip Buff mi of!
The JonrnHl.i
naiem, ur, June
2. Holding that
the Oregon motor ytchlcle law Is un
constitutional bo far as it attempts
to regulate the speed of automobiles
In tlio city of , Portland, the supreme
court today reverm-d tlio decision of
the . Multnomaj'i circuit court in the
case of Peter Kalish. appellant,
against F. C. Knapp? Kalish IM suing
Xnapp for 135,000 for damages sus
tained In an automcbllo accident.
In plain language the higher court
points out thatwthe people, when they
Initiated, and adopted a, constitutional
amendment which prohibits the legis
lature .from tampering or interfering
.With .municipal charters, tieant just
whati thev said, anil that ordinances
enactjed in Portland !for the regulation
of automobiles in that city prevail
rather than the stale automobile law.
.The -opinion was Written by Justice
Charles McNary aniji is concurred in
'by . Justices Moore and Ramsey, while
Chief Justice McBtldc dissents.
Evidence Bailed Out.
7 II.. I.Ul I.. it... I . . . . . . . i
torneys for the plaintiff endeavored to
introduce as, evidence certain ordi
nances purporting to regulate the
upeed of motor vehicles in Portland.
These were ruled oujt by Judge Henry
McGinn on the grond that the Ore
gon motor vehicle';' law superseded
them. This is belief to have been an
error, r rr which the case is reversed,
i After pointing out' the uport of legis
latures of "the xast!in tinkering with
municipal charters, and how the peo
ple resented it and pnacted an amend-
meant literally iwhajt they said whtej
tney ,unea tne expression tnai tne le
islatlve assembly' shall not enact,
emend or repeal any) charter or act of
Incorporation for an municipality, city
or town.' ' i
Curtails Legislative Power.
"This language admits of no other
Interpretation than that the people
purposed to curtail) the power of the
legislature In 'all matters of legisla
tion pertaining to the creation of a
municipal charter, Its amendment or
nullification. To yield to the thought
tha the constitutional enactment must
be construed to Inhibit the legislature
from committing a fllrecT assault upbn
the charter of a particular city, yet
permitting- that very objection to be
obtained by making the law apply gen
erally to all municipalities in the state.
Is to close tii e eyes to a full reading
of the provision, and to license the
legislature to do that by indirection
which it is expressly forbidden to do
directly.
'The argument that the constitution
al provision means that the legislature
may, by general enactment, regulate
the Internal affairs of. the cities ana
towns of the state, but are prohibited
from passing a similar law having ref
erence to a particular municipality. Is
giving life to the character of the act
rather Uhan to the substance of the
constitution, and Is equivalent to say
ing that the legislature may do with
the constitution as it pleases so long
as It selects a general conveyance
jrather than a particular vehicle"

Making Fair Assessments,
(SaJem Bureau of The Journal.) "
Salem, Or., June 2. Not only is it
well within the provisions of the
state constitution, but it is the duty
of the county court to take the
steps, even though indebtedness may
be incurred ,i,n excess of $5000, to
have the timber in the county cruised
for the' purpose of assessment , and
taxation, if that is required in order
to obtain equality in V taxation, ac
cording to an opinion written by jus
tice Charles McNary andhanded down
by the supreme court today in the
case of G. Wingate, appellant, vs.
Clatsop county.
Wingate sought to enjoin the coun
ty court from abiding by a contract
to have the timber cruised so the
assessor might have some knowledge
upon which, to make assessments, and
also to enjoin the couV from enter
ing into a contract for the construc
tion of a jail. In both instances Win-
gate s contention being that such con
tracts were in violation of the pro
visions of the constitution which pro-
nibit a county from Incurring indebt

Washington, June 2. It was stated
on good authority here ths afternoon
that a further embargo against the
shipment of arms from America to
Mexico had been ordered by one of the
executive departments. The embargo
order, hqwever, failed to reach New

the satling of the Antilla with arms
arid ammunition for the constitutional

that the embargo order was sent to
New York not upon the authority of
any presidential proclamation but
through another department of the
government. It forbade the clearance
of any vessel carrying arms for Mex

. For some reason not yet made cleat
it was not put into effect until the An

It was understood the order was is

, (United Press, Leaned Wire.)
Vancouver, B. C, June 2. A mutiny
of a hundred Hindu immigrants broke
out last night on board the Japanese
steamer Komagata Maru, anchored half
a mile off shore, when the East In
dians, tiring of the 10 days' delay in
landing and chafing under the constant
surveillance of armed guards, placed
there by immigration officials, attacked
their keepers and hustled them ovei
the side into a launch.
Only the timely arrival of a squad
of police and 30 constables armed with
rifles prevented the Hindus from car
rying out their declared intention of
weighing anchor, running the ship to
the pier and escape.
Armed Guards Bun.
Although the guards carried rifles
and revolvers, they decided to submit
to the angry orientals, and made haste"
to leave the ship. j
"I can do nothing with them," shout
ed Gurdit Singh, the leader of the ex
cursion. He admitted that the secre
tary of the excursion had sent-a lettei
to Chief Customs Inspector Reld
threatening violence to the guards, but
declared this was merely a warning.
To avoid bloodshed, he advised: that
the guards be withdrawn. Intimations
were, made that if the guards were
ordered back to the ship they would
be thrown overboard. ,
The admission of 600 Chinese who
came by the Empress of Russia on
Saturday has more than angered thr
Hindus, who think that as British sub
jects they have rights of entry ahead
of the-Chinese. The whole situation
has come to an' acute pitch."
Held for JO Says.
The Komagata, with several hundred
Hindus aboard, arrived at Vancouver 10
days ago. On account of the glutted
condition of the labor market, the pro
vincial authorities refused to allow
them to land, regardless of the fact
that the Hindus are British subjecta
In this attitude the provincial authori
ties were backed up by the dominion
government administration at Ottawa.
Mutiny has been festering among
the Hindus for several days, and yes
terday when the men held aboard shin
saw the 600 Chinese land without ob
jection they took matters in their own
hands. i . .

Carranza's Durango State
ment Complicates Work
of Peacemakers.
j (United Press Leased Wire.)
Niagara Falls, Ont., June 2. The
"AJB. C," mediators Issued a state
ment this afternoon formally denying
that a deadlock existed in the American-Mexican
peace negotiations.
General Carranza was regarded here
today as having precipitated a crisis
in , the American-Mextean mediation
negotiations, ; -
Tlje "A. B. C." mediators Seemed
considerably, perturbed over the rebel
leader's fiery declaration from Du
rango that he would not tolerate their
interference in Mexico's internal af
fairs nor agree even to consider Presi
dent Huerta' as a candidate for re
election. ,
The mediators unquestionably were
annoyed as well as perturbed. Having
once refused an; invitation to take part
in rthe negotiations, they intimated
that Carranza could not now expect to
force his way in.
. The Mexican envoys, awaiting, the
mediators,' decision concerning Car
raiza's admissibn to the conference
appeared distinctly uneasy. Reports
that they were themselves on the verge
of i withdrawing were not credited by
persons in close touch with the situa
tion, however. They were believed to
be very anxious to each some sort of
an' agreement . which would save the
dictator's j "face" and the impression
was that they would remain as long as
there was. any hope of doing so.
The American envoys continued . to
insist on the rebels' admission to the
negotiations.
If it proved impossible to agree on
this question it was not known wheth
er or not efforts at mediation wwild
i and-1 Even-lhwediatoT anil. nvoya
were uncertain. '
Mediators and envoys alike denied
that any telegTam had been received
from General Huerta concerning the
rebels' representation at the confer
ence. The United States envoys spent the
foienoon on the American side of the
border. They were scheduled for a
talk with the niediatora at 3:30 p. m.

U. S. A., accused of an $8000 embezzle

Griffiths lost a small fortune.
Chamberlain, who Inspected Grif
fiths' accounts, has already testified
that the latter admitted his defalca
tion. The line of questioning adopted by
the defense indicated from the first
that, owing to his lack of business
judgment and experience and his har
assed mental condition, the captain
would not i be held accountable for
what he did.

STOCK SPECULATION
IN ALBERTA OIL IS
EXCEDINGLY RISKY
Canadian Operators Already
Offering Shares in Portland
Following Report of Find.
The report published some days ago
to the effect that oil had been struck
in Alberta, Canada, j,s said to have
started in the Pacif io northwest an era
of stock speculation comparable only
to that following the discovery of oil
in California in the late SO's. Hun
dreds of so-called oil companies are
being forced and their stock Issues sold
all over the coast. It is not believed
that more than one in a hundred of
these companies is any more legitimate
than the average wildcat mining claim.
Speculation in the stock of these
companies is attended with the great
est risk of loss and the remotest pros
pect of profit.
Canadian oil stock operators have
already reached Portland, and are- of
