JURORS KNOW CONSTITUTION
ABERDEEN MEN HOLD SUNDAY
CLOSING LAW OF WASH
INGTON INVALID.

ABERDEEN, Aug. 1O.-A jury in
a Justice court has decided that the
Sunday law of Washington is uncon-
stitutional and that Patrick McCue, a
saloonkeeper who violated it, is not
guilty.
The jury was composed of Fred
Furth, manager of the Vulcan Iron
works; w. r. MacFarlane, manager
of the Western Mill company; J. B.
Egerer, brother-inlaw of Congress
man Fordney of Michigan and a lum-
herman; N. P. Empey, cruiser; ]. w.
Law, a grocer, and w. c. Harding,
real estate dealer.
The courtroom was crowded with
men and women from Hoquiam and
Aberdeen and conspicuous IN the
crowd was Rev. E. L. Benedict, who
is leading the crusade and who was a
witness. He placed his action on NOR
al grounds solely.
The state was represented Dy C1ty
Attorney Taggart and Judge Seeks,
who defended Brigham Young in the
suit brought by his wife, Eliza. Judge
Seeks said tonight that the verdict of
the jury is unusual and yet possible.
The defense was made on the ground
of the unconstitutionality of the law,
which, it was alleged. granted special
privileges The contention of the
prosecution was the constitutionality
of the law and it's moral significance.
Justice Fox, who is recognized as a
good lawyer, submitted the case with
out comment. Rev. Mr.. Benedict and
members of the w. c. T. U. will con-
tinue the prosecution of the remainder
of the cases. They gained a point by
the refusal of the city attorneys to
consent to the desire of the defense
for one jury to try all the cases, on the
ground of economy.

WOULD NOT HAVE
HIS LEG PULLED
MODERN SHYLOck WAITING FOR
HIS VICTIM TO TAKE
A BATH.

At a quiet country place which goes
nv the poetical name of Home, Sweet
Home the country retreat of a
wealthy Seattle business man, John
Spreutels, the possessor Of an artifi-
l<,ial limb. defies the laws of the State
of Washington with one breath and
takes refuge behind them with the
next.
Last Tuesday Justice j. E. Carroll
gave judgement against Spreutels in
court for $25 balance on the price OF
the leg and granted the plaintiffs PIE
tition that the judgement he made a
lien on the leg. Then the apparent
contradiction in the statutes came
into the game.
Rings in Chestnut.
According to the finding of the court
the plaintiff, Jules Pensis has right
to the leg and can claim it as his
property, but while Spreutels uses it
for walking purposes it is legally part
of his anatomy and not subject to at
tachment The warning that baked
the ancient Shylock wher he pre-
pared to execute a similar judgment,
See that thou shed no blood" is mod
ernized to fit the present case to BE

D. Mcknight, constable, peacefully

propped up in front of him.
Il have a writ of attachment here
for your leg" said the guardian Of
justice, presenting his paper.
(which one?" inquired Spreutels.

reply.
Tries Portia Stunt.
Here's where you get the busy
sign" replied the victim. Both my
legs are fastened on, and 1 guess you
have not got any authority to perform
an amputation, have you?"
The only hope the officers have is
that some day Spreutels may use the
detachable member for window
weight or hang it on the wall as a
trophy, and in that case, the attach
ment will be easy.
Spreutels, however, says he has 10
intention of doing anything foolish anu
that while he has never formed a
habit of sleeping with it on, he thinks
he can learn, and that will kill he
last chance Pensis has to get posses
sion of the coveted property.

PLEDGED FUND
FOR BIG FIGHT
LUMBERMEN'S COMMITTEE HAS
$14s,ooo TO WAGE WAR ON
RAILROADS.

Not less than $145,0OO or s15O,OOO
will be available to make the lumber
mems fight against the transcontinen-
tai railroads to prevent the threatened
advance in lumber and shingle rates,
announced to become effective October
I. A canvass of the situation in the
three lumber associations Of Washing
ington and Oregon, made by the mill
mems committee yesterday, indicates
this sum can be called in at any time
it is needed.
Whether the loggers will join in rails
ing a protection fund has not been
determined, but the lumbermen do not
expect a very heavy contribution from
the shingle manufacturers. Since no
ufacturers and as the California Red
wood association has taken no action,
it is assumed the financial burden of
the fight will have to be borne by the
Oregon and Washington manufactur-
erS
Executive Committee Named.
An executive committee to repre-
sent the lumbermen was named at
yesterdays conference. On the COM
mittee are c. F. White, of Seattle: F.
B. Hubbard, of Centralia; F. C. Knapp,
of Portland. They represent the three
lumber manufacturers associations
of Oregon and Washington.
Headquarters will be opened in Sc
attic Immediately and a corps of men
will be retained under direction of
the executive committee to prepare
plans for the anti-railroad fight. 1t is
expected the lumbermen will organize
a publicity bureau to make general
onslaught against the roads.
Lumbermen threaten to invoke the
all of the reciprocal demurrage act
passed by the last legislature to COM
pei the roads to provide cars this fall
for the movement Of timber products.
Fear Grain Movement.
1t is feared by the mill interests that
when the crops begin to move the
railroads will concentrate their efforts
to moving grain and the lumbermen
will only get the surplus of cars. If
the situation works out in this way,
the millmen declare they will appeal
to the courts to enforce the reciprocal
Gemurrage act.
The railroad view is the reciprocal
demurrage act only applies On ship
ments between points in this state and
the roads will recognize it to that ex-
tent. To make good their contention
the lumbermen must show the act can
control Interstate shipments.
The entire anti-railroad campaign
is in the hands of the executive COM
mittee of the three lumber OrganiZa-
tons and will take up reciprocal de-
murrage in it's turn.
