Tho biggest hop suit of tho yoar,
affecting tho contracts of 1907, warf
fought out with resounding oratory
beforo Judgo Galloway for tbo pant
two dnys.
Goo. G. BInghnm opened tho ensu
to tho conirt for Lachmund & Co.t
and Anderson M. Cannon closed tho
arguments for plaintiffs. Somplos
of tho liopa rojootcd woro not pro
ducod In court.
Tho contract calls for tho dellvory
of 40,000 pounds of hops, "bright,
oven color, fully maturod, froo, from
mould or vormlh damage, oloanly
picked, properly dried and cured,"
otc.
Hop growors and buyors wero in
troduced as witnesses nnd sworo that
very few hops woro grown up to the
contract standard. Hops practically
freo from mould wero bucIi as woro
usually called cholco browing hops.
Tho Portland Chlneso millionaire,
Sold Bnck, put up $3700 to make
tho crop, and holds n mortgage on it,
and Jiudgo McGinn nppoarod for him
to recover picking money.
Among Glnn's perorations was
this: "Tho mon and women got
their monoy. Not ono went away
ompty-handod. I wish wo had more
mon llko Sold Back running our
banks at Portland. Wo would stand
somo show to got our money."
Ho quotod from Roosevelt's mes
sage: "Tho time Is coming, is now
here, when wo have got to shackle
cunning as tlwy did of old, when
thoy shackled violence." He rung
In Pennoyor and it was ono of Mr.
McGinn's greatest effort, and a large
audience was prosont.
Mj Cannon'g Reply.
"Tho mountain has labored and
brought forth a mouse," said Mr.
Cannon. Ho had hoard Mr. McGinn
boforo raiso evory hair on tho heads
of a Jury, and then wen the Jury
como back in two minutes with
verdict against him.
In tho case of Livesloy & Co. vr.
Johnson, Wolff & Son had butted in
nnd lost out on a similar contract
Seld Rack had been notified that the
contract was in existence, and hie
rights woro subordinate thereto.
They had advanced monoy all the
defendants Oliver Beers and Lope
Sing as-prlnclpals subject to a con
trad and a chattle mortgage, and
that thoy could not get around. Lach
mund. for Horst & Co., had agreed
to advance $2400 "during the pick
ing season." Mr. Cannon also grew
eloquent .and said while McGinn went
to sa on the waves of hia own elo
quence, he would be shattered In
tho breakers when he was brought
back to land.

ASSEMBLED ENGLAND .MAY

All) THE JAPS.
(United Press Loosed Wire.)
Washington, Feb. G. -A ipoclnl to
tho Portland Journal snys: What Is
considered by oven tho most con
servative obsorvors of international
politics nH n most omlnlous portont
for tho continuance of tho poaccfu!
rblntlons existing nt present between
tho United 'States nnd Japan is thw
attltudo of tho British ndmlrnllty.
From thWeoent activity in British
naval circles thoro la nppnrent'y no
doubt In the minds of tho ndmlrnllty
that war bctwocn tho Unltod State
nnd Jnpan is oertaln to come, nnd
in tho nonr future. Hore Is what
tho English nro doing to propnro for
tho shock.
Tho British North Paofllc squadron
is to bo Incronsod. Tho fourth cnuiR-
or squadron, consisting of Crossy,
Eurylus, Hogue, Brilliant and the
Indofatigablo, six crulsora of tho
county class, will bo added to tho
fleet now operating out of Esquimau.
Esquimau Is boing hurriodly pre
parod for tho sudden demand upon
it as a naval bnso of tho first caliber.
Preparations nro being mado to
accommodate a greatly onlargod
numbor of troops at that point.
So sinister is this movo regard od
nt Washington that a Bpoalnl confer
ence was held today betwoon Presi
dent Roosovolt nnd the Domoorntlo
momberfi of tho naval committee
from the house. Tho mobilization of
the British North Pacific squadron
was tho siibjoot undor d-lsoussion.
The Prosldent, it is snid, wished to
be assured that he will , havo no
Democratic opposition to his deslro
to havo the naval appropriation In
creased to $09,000,000, In order that
a numbor of now battleships may bo
ordered at once.
In ease of a groat naval war be
tween tho United States and Jnpan,
England, both in the light of a pos
sible ally of Japan and as tho next
most interested nation with the near
est coast line In the war zone, feels
that It should be prepared for any
eventuality.
