A CASE OF SPECIAL PlLEOfJE MAD Ferry Company Gets Injunc tion Forbidding Workmen to Operate Own Ferry. FERRY RATES ARE DOUBLE What It CoBts the Workmen at 'Navy Yard for Service by Doing Their Transporting. UNITED PBIflS IXASID WIK1. Sacramento, C'al., April 12, Born of tho desire of 1200 Vullejo, Cal., work . men at the Mare Inland navy yard, to reach their work as thoy see fit, a bat tle between unhampered human rights aid vented privileges is on before the California legislature hore today, which is likely to result in action of national importance as great as any cause bofore the public in many a year. Representatives of navy workmen are bore before the legislature fighting a state law which forbids thorn the privi lege of transporting themselves across a small channel of water to their work in their own boats, instead of boing com polled to pay what they assort are the exorbitant charges of the Valoljo Ferry Company. This the ferry company says they have no right to do, and under the present state law, in conformity with which the company holds its franchise, they have not that right. The supremo court hus said so. Virtually the. ferry company has been conceded a monopoly over the stream within a mile oach way of its docks. Has a Man Any Eights? ' ' ' Whether a profit-making concession .granted by a city council undor a state law framed in years past by men whose first regard was property- interest, shall be paramount to the inherent right of men to go to their work as they see fit and in a manner they have found more economical that is the sharply drawn issue. The battle began over two years ago, when a committee of the Mare Island workmen approached the ferry company with a request that the rate, -which they regarded as exorbitant, bo Teduced to $2.18 a month. They were met with a flat refusal. The employes then banded together and organized the Solano Acquatic club, -which, supported by monthly dues of $1.25, bought three gasoline launches at an expense of ovor $10,000 and n a non-profit making basis being transport ing members to their work. They found they could ferry themselves across the channel 93 cents a month cheaper thnn it cost them to ride on the ferry company's vessel. Supreme Court Bays No. Alarmed at this radical step in co operative service and the certainty that their profits were going glimmering, the ferry transportation clapped on an in junction. This was within the past week sustained by the suprome court. An employer may carry -his employes to.thoir work, but the employes cannot transport themsclvcs--that was the gist of the deeision. With tho question now squarely before the California legisla ture the issuo bids fair to become of national as well as state wide import ance. It is a test of how far the, co operative rights of men may reach. The question will bo threshed out in connection with Assemblymen W. 8. "lyllingsworth's bill, introduced at the request of tho Solano Acquatio Club, which would permit any number of em ploye to band together to use their own means of transportation without con flicting with the forry franchises, as long as the enterprises were non-profit making. Throughout the two years' fight the Ware Island employes have had the staunch support of Captain Henry May, commandant, who has given them every encouragement, even to providing gov ernment floats as" landing places for their rowboats and launches. 3IOPMEN HOPPINO ON ACCOUNT OF TARIFF Hop men aro getting Interested In the plans of the Democratic congress in Washington, and are side stepping con ' tracts calling for big prices for the pro--duct until they knbw whether the duty is to be removed Wool men are also keeping close tab on affairs, and the prices offered for the crop are away be low those of last year.

NO TEAM THIS YEAS Tho C'homawa Indians have decidod not to cntor a team in the Salom-Port- Jand relay racethis year as they have for the last six years. Whilo the In dians have lost the last two races to the Portlund Y. M. C. A. team, the In dians won all the previous races. What the reason is for not entering the race this year is not known. In lieu of tho Indians tho Portland Y. M. C. A. has asked the Salem Y. M. C. A. and Wlllamotte university to en teams for the race. Whothor this will be dono is yet undecided. The mattor was up for discussion at the annual spring banquet of the businoss men's class of the association last night and is being considered by Dr. Bwootland, coach of the Willametto athletes and by the management of tho track team. The regular date of the race has been during the first week of Mar, but if Willamette docidos to enter it is prob able that the contost will be set at a later date in order to give the team a good training chance. THE NEXT CASE CALLED WAS SOON DISPOSED OF A motion for non-suit in a civil case which Judge Kolly was hearing this morning was followed by the marriage of two couples who were urgent In their desires to be made as one by the highest court Ih tho county. Judge Kelly was unexpectedly .eon- fronted with a motion for a non-suit in the rase he was heaiing, while the matrimonially inclined couples were waiting anxiously for the magistrate of department number one of the circuit court to perform the ceremony. Judge Kelly dismissed tho jury in the case at hand in order to tako the motion under advisement and then called for the next "case." It is unnecessary to say that tho next "caso" was completed in short order and that now there are four persons happier. Roy E. Casto and Fannie Cor bet, of Hubbard, and W. A. Hobugh aid Eva L. Greenman were the couples married. THE POPE TODAY HAS Physicians Find Him Suffering From Attack of Bronchitis and Influenza.

Tho greater part of the membership paid its respects to the pastor, the attendance totaling in the neighborhood of 300 persons. Th4 scheme announced at the outset to enhance the sociability was that all who had no chairs could circulato them selves around and mako acquaintances. There were a lot of people, especially of the later vintages, who didn't try to find chairs. . Tho apartments of tho church in which the reception was hold were tastefully decorated with flowers and flags, with the lights so arranged as to make the adornment more resplendent.

Remember the date, E FOR ION STREET Considerable Opposition Is Shown by Vote But No Lengthy Discussion. STREET HAS NO OUTLET Councilman Stole Grieved Because Pavement Was Only 24 Feet Wide Instead of at Least 30. Concrete was decided upon as the paving of Union street at a meeting hold last evening by the property own ers. Tho vote stood 2571 foot for six inch concrete and 2100 feet against. It was also voted to ubo crushod rock bonldors instead of gravel iu the mix ture. After a whispered conference with Andy Hofor, Gideon Stolz chairman of tho street committee of Iho city coun cil, called the mooting to ordor and H. A. Johnson was chairman and Harloy White secretary. Property owners from Capitol to Twelfth, on Union street, asked that the paved width in that soction bo 24 feet, instead of 30 feet. It was ox plained that there was no outlet at the end of Union street, tho street was nar row, and 24 feet of paving would bo ample. Stolz grumbled about tho plan, but subsided when Councilman Brown and the city engineer explained tho exact location of tho trnct. Tt was agreed to have tho contract call, for but 24 feet of paving on that street. In answer to a quory it was stated thnt the Salem, Falls City & Western Railroad Company had arranged to do its share of paving at once. During the discussion a paving man humorously cxplnincd that Mr. Stolz does not represent the railroad company he 's a statesman. " Stolz explalnod that tho railroad com pany has advised him that only a singlo track was planned for tho street. Some one wanted to know why tho council had given the company fiO foot of street when it is only 59 foot wide. Tho action taken last night moans that tho Gicger Construction Company will do tho work for $17,(194.68 Just bo fore tho voto was taken Stolz mado a strong speech in favor of crushod rock, saying it was much better than gravel. No general discussion as to tho qual ities of paving wns had, and there seemed to bo s disposition to rush tho concrete proposition through. CHEMAWA WILL HAVE NO TEAM THIS YEAR The Chomawa Indians have decided not to enter a team in tho Salom-Port-land relay raco this year, as they have done for the last six years. Whilo tho Indians have lost the last two races to the Portland Y. M. C. A. team, tho In dians won all tho previous races. What tho reason Is for not entering tho race this year is not known. In lieu of the In. linns tho Portland Y. M. C. A. has asked tho Salem Y. M. C A. and Willamctet University to en ter teams for tho race. Whether this will be dono is' yet undecided.

TO BE REPRESENTED Great Interest Is 3elng Taken In State Fair and Children's Exhibit WiU Be Feature. That Douglas county will be woll rep resented at tho state fair that year in the school children's industrial contest, is the opinion of M. C. Mnris, state organizer of school fairs, department of education, who spent last wook in thnt county. Ho Bays tho now'school sup erintendent,' O. O. Brown, is not only an educator of much oxporionco and abil ity; but that ho is nlso a practical far inor and export agriculturist in deep sympathy with tho modern idea of prac tical industrial education coupled with intellectual culture, and an all round athlete and live wiro. Suporintondont Brown not only hopes to send a win ning eolloctivo county exhibit to tho stato fair, but is planning to mako tho children's ojchibit a leading feature of the county fair at Rosoburg. Arrange ments are alrendy well under way for local fairs at Myrtlo Creek, Canyon vlllo, Molroso, and some other pointB are expected to fall In lino and hold similar local contests just before the county fair. " Mr. Maris said whilo ho had passed through and over part of DougloB coun ty many timos, he had nnvor bofore seen so much of it, and that it was a reul revocation to him. It is a largo county only a few square miles less than tho stato of Connecticut, and con sists of a succession of sub vnlleys, some small and somo quite extensive, but all vory rich of Boil and resource, and abundantly watered. All this is reflected in tho towns, especially in hor commercial center and county seat, Rosoburg, a town of wealth, stability and apparent conservatism. "In fruit," said Mr. Maris, "tho Italian prune seems to he tho stnplo," and he said ho saw somo of the best orchards of this variety that he over saw in any country. Suit Against City. Salem was burdened with another debt in tho sum of $1004.40 today, when the jury sitting in the caso of Clarko vs. City of Sulom returned a vordict in fa vor of tho plaintiff for tho abovo amount.

JOLTS, THE POLITICIANS What the People Put on Their Backs and Into Their Stomachs Must Be Made Cheaper. (By John Edwin, staff correspondent of' ( the United Press.) Washington, April 12. President Wilson is standing pat ou froe sugar and wool. Tho crisis in the tariff fight, reached today iu the house and senate commit tees, found tho president ready to carry tho fight to the people. Tho United Press today is able to pre sent iu part, President Wilson's tariff views as he sketched them during the campaign, as he expounded thorn to congressional loaders and as he expects to urgo them in a direct appeal to the people, if forcod to that course. "What tho people put on their backs and into their stomachs must be made choapor, no mattor who Buffors," is President Wilson's final word to senate financiers. Ho insists that the idea that the passage of tho proposod tariff bill would be disastrous to tho country is most false. The President Baps Thorn. President Wilson referred his callers to his frequently uttered viows on this subject, and then said: "I always am afraid that the busi ness men who aro so uneasy have some thing to bo uneasy about. Tho Ameri can people aro taking notice In a way they never took notlco beforo, and gen tlemen who talk ono way and voting an other are going to be retired to a quiet and privato life." The president sees no reason to com promise on tho tariff bill. Ho beliovos tho people will support him, aud that ho can compel an adjustment of tho tar iff. He directod attention to tho posi tion he took when it was charged that a low tariff would hit the farmer, and Bald: "Tho American fnrmor never has heerf protected bocanso he never needed protection. But everything that Is worn and much thnt is oaten, including meats, ! bears a heavy duty, bringing the inter esting result thnt tho farmers aro pay ing for a great deal of tho wealth of America, but aro gutting nothing, so for as tho tariff Is concerned, "It is notorious Unit many members, ot tho senate finnnco committee did not know thnt ho significance of tho tariff schedules tho committee reported in tho Payno bill. It wns always said the tariff did not determine prices, becauso so much competition within America kept American competition and trade on a level. But haven't you seen competi tion disappear. Haven't you attended, by proxy, congressional hearings and court trials, where tho wholo process was disclosed f Soma Straight Talk. "The country's business is staggering under masses of slock whereon divi dends must be paid by tho pricen charged to the consumer. But under the proposed new tariff bill, thu wholo thing is upon a new basis, and business itself Is going to burst Its restrictions. While our exports In grain aro falling off our exports In manufactured articles are Increasing. We are finding an out let for these." This Is tho president's position, an, I the ono taken before the house way end means committee, when he de clared, In Introducing tho tariff bill, that "tho future growth of our great Industries lies beyond the sens." The president, hns decided that, In nearly every instance, American busi ness enterprises will bo restored, s it must bo under the proposed tariff bill, to a position of real competition; thnt tho manufacturer will enlarge his plants and meet the new conditions In such a way that the country will enter into period of real prosperity, which will benefit all.
