WENAHA W00LGR0WERS ENDORSE
An |NFLEX|B0E |NSPECT|0NN MEASURE
Sheepme Meet and Decide to Draw Up Bill INVITING the Most
Rigorous Examination of All Stock Shipped
From the State

The endorsement of a rigid stock in
spection law which will place the
state of Washington on the clean
list on the records of the national
government was the principal work of
;he Wcneha Woolgrowers Association
which held their annual meeting in the
court house here this morning.
The meeting was called to order at
10 O'Clock by President H. c. Bryson
an dthc rerort of the executive COM
mittee read.
The active question before the con-
vention was how to remedy the present
inspection law and quarantine regu-
lations so that stock and meat shipped
from this section should have clean
bill of health"
1t was brought out that at present
the Interstate Commerce Commission
regarded shipments from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho as exposed be-
cause our inspection laws were not up
to the government standard.
President Bryson brought to the at
tention of the convention a bill which
ba bod drawn I'm Droyiding for a SVS-
tenn of state inspection which would

Heartily Approved.
The bill met with hearty appro-
baton from the members of the con-
vention and the matter was referred to
a committee consisting of the presi-
and T. A. Van Holenbeke, who should
have sole power to make alterations in
it if necessary and see that it was
properly introduced in the next session
Of the legislature.
1t was not decided who will introduce
the bill but it will probably be Repre-
sentative Mordo Mcdonald.
The association voted to unite them
selves with the National Woolgrowers'
Association.
1t was also decided to hold the next
annual meeting in Walla Walla and
the whole present set of officers was
reelected for another year by unani-
nous consent.

Judge Gordon waxed quite eloquent
in his defense of railroads contend
ing that such power was "mon-
strous" and would make the railroads
sue for justice before the commits
sion not on the legal rights but as
for a princes favor"
He said that the commission had no
power to fix rates outside of the act
creating it which only gave power to
change rates in cases complained of,
as unreasonable: that the commission
could not go beyond this power which
it had in the order made in Walla
Walla last June: That when it made
the rates in the six cities rigid it ex-
ceeded it's powers.
He said the burden of his COM
plant was that rates could not be so
made as any man with sense knows
they must change with changing sea-
sons.
The commission will have 10 days
in which to file an answer in the case.
Every effort will be made to have 1t

MOTHER ASKS COURT TO REVOKE ORDER

Accusing the German family who are
caring for little 3-year-Old Albert
Bremmer with being improper per-
sons to have his custody, Lena Brem-
mer asked the court late Saturday af-
ternOon to revoke its former order,
placing the child in the hands of the
Kreihe family, and to give it to her.
Mrs. Bremmer made her principal
plea on the ground that ner husband
had not filled a $500 bond guarantee
ing that he would not again try to
kidnap the child, as the court had or
dered She also asserted that Henry

when this decision, one of the most far
reaching ever made in Walla Walla,
was given by Judge Brents.
The railroad commission was rep
resented by E. c. Macdonald, assistant
attorney of Washington, and the rail-
road companies by Judge M. ]. Cor
don Of Spokane.
The railroads contended that the or
der Of the commission made them liza
BILE to punishment for changing any
rate in the state and that this or
der was in excess Of the powers grant,
ed by the statute to the Washington
commission.
The decision does not affect the new
rate out Of Walla Walla which the
railroads agree to abide by and which
they are now enforcing.
The effect of overruling the demur-
rer is to say that the commission has
exceeded its granted powers in at
tempting to make blanket order per-
petuating existing rates all over the
state
Attorney Macdonald claimed that
the railroads were not following cor
feet procedure in filing a demurrer as
they did not allege that conditions had
changed since making the order. That
if they had the only proper method Of
procedure was to go to the commission
to make a change and that the Ques-

on this point and went back to
Keith's home.
1t seems to be her policy now to
try and gain possession of the child by
raising every legal technicality pos
sible. She is permitted to visit the
child at any time during the day time
because Bremmer works from a. m.
until p. m. but she is determined
to get him entirely in her possession.
1t seems from the evidence that the
Kreihes are taking excellent care OF
the little boy and that he is quite
happy with them.
