SUNDAY CLOSING LAW
Decision Was Expected as the
Same Judge Ruled in Same
Way Several Years Ago,
"Unconstitutional."
This Is the opinion handed down this
morning by Circuit Judge C. U. Gan
tenhein on the Sunday closing law.
The attempt to enforce the law has
caused a furore in this city, and in fact
throughout the state. It was fought
bitterly by the small merchants at the
start and later by many other branches
of business which would have been af
fected. The decision was expected, for Judge
Gantcnbein, seven years ago, had
handed down a similar decision on a
case along the same lines.
Judge Gantenbein held that the law

Kitchener to
TakeCommand
in the Balkans
Famous British General Officially
Admitted to have Gone to the
"Eastern War Theatre."
London, Nov. 6. (U. P.) Lord
Kitchener has gone to the Balkans, It
was officially admitted today. It was
stated he had gone to the "eastern war
theatre."
This was considered tantamount to
saying that he will take command.
Lord Kitchener probably has gone
to the near east to assume command
of the allies' forces, and to direct per-
sonally the Balkan campaign. The
i fact that he saw the king and that
I Premier Asqulth has taken over his
duties at war minister signify that he
has left for a considerable period. It
is reasonable to suppose that the al
lies, especially Kngland, want to con
solidate the Balkan, Gallipoii and
Egyptian campaigns under a sinjjls
leadership, for on other fronts their
armies ate already under distinguished
leadership.
Kitchener made his reputation in
Egypt and specialized on Levantine
military problems. Great Britain has
played her highest trump to watch the
German lead. Should he fail, the grave
of his reputation will he in the vicinity
of its birtii. This tnusl inspire him
for his supreme effort.
BRYAN INSISTS HE IS
Former Secretary of State
Declares He Has the Same
Right as Editors,
Washington, Nov. S. (I". P.) Re
newing assurance of his friendship for
the president, former Secretary of
State Bryan today followed up his at-
I tack on the executive's preparedness
I program with another statement. In
I this, he declared he has no plans made
ior nis iuinre cuuioe concerning me

"1 have no plans formulated." he
said. "I am doing wnat I believe to
be the duty of every citizen.
"How can the president know what
the people think unless individuals ex
press themselves? Those approving
his plan do not hesitate to express
themselves.
"Why should those who differ be
silent?
"Editors of metropolitan newspapers
who daily fling incense before special
interests don't hesitate to express an
opinion regarding the country's needs.

Whiskey Floating From the

and General Riot Follows, J
Marshfield, Or.. Nov. . The Santa
Clara, -wrecked on South Spit, Tues
day evening. Is starting to break up
and the vessel since yesterday after
noon has been at the mercy of beach
combers and pillagers.
Scenes enacted on the beach late
yesterday,' afternoon and last night
beggar anything ever seen at a wreck
here. There were many cases of bot-i
tied whiskey on fhe vessel and these
floated ashore and were seized by the
beach comberk They were hidden in
the woods and carefully guarded. Much
of the whiskey was opened and a gen
eral drunken Epree followed. During
the night H developed Into a frightful I
orgy.
General Blot Results.
At 1 o'clock this morning men quar
reling over the plunder started light
ing and a general riot ensued. Mat
ters got so had that the coast guard j
crew was called upon to stop the riot- i
iug. i
Consignees of the freight have been j
making an effort to save some of their
goods. Men were paid to unload !
freight, in many cases only to have
it seized by those who were after plun
der. Hundreds went to the beach this
morning, and as long as the vessel
lasts and there is cargo to take, the
plundering will continue.
Sheriff Johnson had deputies ap
pointed and on hand to guard the ves
sel. This was effective until C. P. Doe
telegraphed permission to the freight
consignees to take off their goods, ap.i
this opened the way to everybody to
tet what they could, and the deputies
had no further authority.
Two Passengers Missing.
The stern of the Santa Clara is
breaking off and the ship will prob
ably go to pieces in a few days.
There are now only two tassengeis
unaccounted for. They are G. Allen
and. Fred Jones. The latter Is1 believed
lo be a Portland man, who has a fam
ily there, and a brother of Mrs. R. IL
Glasgow of this city. The latter thinks
the missing man is her brother, and
is trying to ascertain from Portland if
hj started from there on the vessel.
Aid of the federal government to
stop beach combers at Coos bay from
taking possession of goods floating
ashore from the wrecked steamer San
la Clara was asked in a telegram re
ceived by United States Marshal Mon
tag last night from L. A. Lileauest,
district attorney of Coos county. la
the telegram Lilequest says:
"We cannot protect the cargo of the
wrecked Santa Clara. Will you depu
tize Harry Kimball, customs officer
of this port as a deputy United States
marshal to protect the ship and cargo
I from beach combers? Also send a
deputy from Portland at once.
ASTORIA'S CLAIM TO
TERMINAL RATES IS
DISCUSSED BY TEAL
Speaker Says That Portland
Has Advantages That Must;
Be Protected,
Astoria's claim for railroad rates on
a parity with Puget sound is Just and
should be granted by the Interstate
Commerce commission, before which
the issue is pending, said Joseph N.
Teal, attorney for the trafflo and
transportation bureau of the Chamber
of Commerce, in addressing a large
meeting of Chamber of Commerce '
members last nltfht.
At the same time he advised against
the passage by the Chamber of Com- i
merce of any resolution which would
favor the granting of parity rates to '
ports between Portland and the sea. ;
A request of this nature In the form
of a resolution had been addressed to i
the Chamber of Commerce by.Xhe Port-
land Realty board. j
His reason, in brief, for this posi
tion was that if the Portland business
community took action approving the
Astoria rate case this city's rights, and j
claims to a lower rate than either,
Puget sound or the mouth of the river
would be compromised.
He said that the railroad rate struc
ture as at present constituted is based J
on the mountain haul from the in
terior to Puget sound. That Astoria's
appeal for a parity rate is a petition
for rates as low as the rales to Puget
