MAYOR and COUNCIL ARE
SUPREME AS TO SALOONS

Olympia. May 15.-Although the
state supreme court once held section
1884 of Ballinger' code invalid, claim
ing that it had been repealed by later
laws, the assistant attorney general
holds that in a recent decision the
court has held the old law valid and
therefore the town of Sunnyside or
any other city, town or incorporated
village in this state may absolutely
prohibit the sale of liquor within its
borders. The opinion was rendered
in response to a request from Sunny
side authorities as to the validity of
the towns prohibition ordinance.
The recent decision referred to was
IN a case from Chehaalis county, where
the city council Of Aberdeen revoked
a saloon license, and the supreme court
decided that the mayor and council
have autocratic power undcP this old
law and the courts could not interfere.
The section referred to provides:
1.-The mayor and coucnil, or other
governing body of each incorporated
city, incorporated town or incorpnrat.
ed village in the state Of Washington
shall have the sole and exclusive su-
thority and power to regulate, re.
strain, license or prohibit the sale or
disposal of spirituous. fermented, malt
OF other Intoxicating liquors within
the corporate limits Of their respective
cities, towns or villages.

FINDINGS In HARTMAN
Case MOST SENSATIONAL

l,ew York, May l6.-The evening
telegram yesterday published what it
says lea abstratct OF the findings of
the interstate commerce commission
during its investigation of the Harri-
man roads. The Telegram calls the
report the most sensational that the
commission has ever issued. 1t states
that the commission found railroad
competition choked entirely in an
area equal to one-third of the United
States; that in this area Hartman
was absolute master; that Hartman
contract with the Rock Island, South
ern Pacific, Santa Fe, Illinois Central
and San Pedro roads violate the anti
trust acts, and the report recommends
that the attorney general proceed
against them.
It also says that the purchase of
shares of one road by another is bad
practice and should be stopped; and
that the profits of the great roads of
tbs West are being used 20 buy the
stock to control the systems of the
East, instead of developing the West.
The report calls the Hartman reor-
ganization lone OF the most remark
able cases Of manipulation and stock
watering ever known, and demand
that the laws prevent repetitions.
The repurt concludes by saying,
according to the Evening Telegram
synopsis, that Hartman ia absolute
master of the Illinois Central, and is
so powerful In the Santa Fe as to pre-
vent competition with his roads and
that the combination of the Union Pa.
cifc and Southern Pacific are sc
powerful as to suppress all competi'
I tion and prevent the building of tbs
San Pedro to Los Angeles.
