JAPANESE DECISION
CONSIDERED IMPORTANT

Portland, Sept 2s.-Judge Vol.
verton, in the United States district
court yesterday handed down an opin.
ion which sweeps away restrictions
imposed upon the admission of japan.
ese to this country by the commissjoer
general of immigration.
The president issued an order last
March and it is sustained by judge
Wolverton as within the law. The
regulation of the commissioner gen.
eral of immigration, however, had the
effect of saying that if a JAPANESE
landed here and had no passport, the
presumption would rest that be had
passport to Canada, Mexico or Hawaii.
and therefore he would be barred
The Judges opinion holds this to be
an unwarranted assumption of au.
thority by the commissioner Of immi.
grafton and renders the regulation
void. This means that the presidents
order against Japanese landing in soil
adjacent to this country or in its in.
sular possessions stands, but it re.
moves any restrictions upon japanese
coming directly here from Japan so
long as they conform to the general
requirements Of the immigration law
passed February 20, 1907.

SENATOR CLARK MAY
BUILD TO PORTLAND

Portland, Or, Sept. 3O.-The Ore
gonian says that there is abundant
reason to believe that the Mount Hood
Railway and Power Company, which
is building an electric road between
Portland and Mount Hood, is in real.
ity another link in a transcontinental
railway. The paper states that Sena-
tor w. A. CLARK, Of Montana, is said
to be behind the project. The road,
according to the Oregonian, will be a
part of the San Pedro, Los Angeles
and Salt Lake system. The new road
is said to have purchased the present
site of a large lumber mill on the east
bank of the Willamette river for its
terminals in this city.

WASHINGTON MILITIA
Report Shows Considerable Loss Durin,
the Past Year.

Report Shows Considerable Loss During
the Past Year.
Washington, Oct. 2-The most COM
prehensive statement in reagrd to the
national guard Of the United States
ever published is included in the an
nual report of the adjutant general Of
the army, made public yesterday.
The statement in regard to the
Washington militia is not altogether
favorable, for the total strength is
only $50 men, and there has been a
decrease Of 40 men since last year.
It is also shown that at the time Of the
annual inspection last spring there
were 1912 per cent Of absentees, as
compared with only 1857 per cent in
1905.
This percentage of absentees was ex-
ceptional, as the reports from most Of
the other states indicate an increased
interest in national guard affairs.
The adjutant general estimates that
there are in the state Of Washington
1853, 900 males available for military
duty but at present unorganized.

shipment to be sent to Chicago.
A penalty of $3.50 for each car

TEACHERS WANT CHANGES

Convention Makes Recommendation
and Enters Political Field.
Olympia, Sept. 28.-That the teach
ers of the state are dissatisfied with
the present school laws in some re-
spects became manifest yesterday
when motion was made before the
convention now in session in this city
for certain changes, as follows:
l. More nearly equal distribution
of public funds.
2. Closer supervision of rural
schools.
8. More systematic administration
of school affairs.
4. Enlargement of the powers OF
the state Office so as to make it q
greater force in educationnal affairs.
5. Greater permanence in tenure OF
Office for superintendent and teachers
The teachers also started campaign
by declaring that competent school
man should be elected state land com.
missioner, owing to the fact that the
school lands of the state have been
left to the school children. The next
meeting place for the convention was
voted at Ohelan.

WICkERSHAM RESIGNS
ALASKA JUDGESHlP

Washington, Sept. 28.-The presi-
dent yesterday received letter from
James Wickersham Offering his resig-
nation as Judge for the Third judicial
district of Alaska, and asking that the
resignation be accepted as soon as his
successor could be appointed.
Judge Wickersham said in his letter
that he had good opportunity to
enter the practice of law which would
yield him larger income than he is
now receiving, and that he could not
afford to let the opportunity pass.
The resignation was entirely volun-
tary and came as surprise to the pres
ident and the department of justice.
It was announced at the White House
during the afternoon that the new
judge would not be appointed until
after the presidents return from the
South, which will be late in October.
Ends Long Struggle
The resignation of Judge Wicker
sham is the concluding chapter in one
of the most notable cases of federal
officer, whose name has been repeated
ly before the senate vainly seeking for
confirmation Since June 6, 1904,
Judge Wickersham has been kept in
Office solely by reason of recess ap-
pointments, for owing to the opposi-
ton of a mere handful of senator's,
led by Senator Nelson, of Minnesota,
the senate has every session failed to
act on the judges nomination.
President Roosevelt let it be known
last spring that he would continue to
nominate Judge Wickersham, and
he declined to order new investiga-
ton of the judges conduct this sum-
mer, preferring to stand on the reports
that had already been made of the
judges conduct in Office.
There is reason to believe that the
opposition to confirmation next win
Ter would have been stronger than
ever, and it is possible that Judge
Wickersham took these facts into &C.
COUNT when he decided to withdraw.
It has been his wish, however, for
more than year to enter upon the
practice of law in Alaska.
