Supreme Court Holds Act Of 1905
Constitutional.
JOHN sHORTAlL IS GIVEN VERDICT
WORKMAN ENTITLED TO SALARY
whether HE QUITS OR is DIS
CHARGED.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 1.-THE act of 1905
amending the act of 1888, and requir.
ing the payment of wages forthwith,
whether the laborer quits voluntarily
or is discharged, is constitutional, &C.
cording to a decision of the supreme
court handed down yesterday in the
case of John Shortall, respondent, VS..
Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging com
pany, appellant.
ShOrtall was working for the com
pany at BremmertOn. He signed an
agreement with the company before
he began work that wages should be
paid the 18th of each month; that he
would not leave without giving notice,
and that he would wait for his wages
until the 18th. Shortall began work
August 81, 1905, and continued until
October 18th of that year. When he
stopped he was not paid for work from
October / to 16. The amount due was
$21.36. The company refused to pay
him.
In the lower court the finding was
against the company and the supreme
court sustains the lower. On the ap-
peal the company maintained that the
subject matter of the act of 1905 in
regard to paying wages forthwith
when the laborer quit, was not with
in the title fairly, but the supreme
court finds otherwise.
Judge Root partially dissented. He
held that the act was constitutional
but he did not think it applied in a
case where a contract was entered in
to that wages should not be be paid
until the 18th. In part the prevailing
opinion, written by Judge Fullerton
says:
"The second contention is that the
act in question is unsupported by any
principle of public policy But we
think the practice, pursued by certain
employers of labor, of paying the
wages of their employees in orders
drawn upon stores redeemable in
commodities other than lawful money
of the United States, and of pOstpOn
ing the wages were earned, was a real
evil, operating to the detriment of the
wage-earner, and consequently to the
detriment of the state.
"As such the practices were subject
to correction by the legislature, and
it's act in that regard was well within
the rules of sound public policy

CLARKE CHARGED WITH FORGERY
Roseburg Booster" Accused of Nu
merous OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Bad Check.

ROSEBURG Ore, Jan. 12.-Edward
Barrie Clarke, formerly of Portland
and a Roseburg Booster" is now
wanted for forgery in Nevada, where
he conducted the business of the Fair
view Miner, newspaper at Fair
view, Nevada. that recently failed in
amounts aggregating between $1,000
and 100000
In December Clarke caShed forged
check for 5000 at the German-Ameri-
can National bank OF New Orleans.
The check was drawn on Douglas &
Jarvis of Fairvew, on one of their
printed forms, made payable to E. B.
Clarke and signed Joe Jarvis; it was
indorsed on the back by E. B. Clarke,
the Endorsement being in the we'll
known handwriting of the erst-while
newspaper man; the writing on the
face of the check was evidently his
also. That this fact should be over
looked by banker excites wonder.
The check was declared a forgery on
it's arrival in Fairview, and the bank
in New Orleans Immediately notified
by wire. But Clarke had decamped
for parts unknown.
Clarke made friends rapidly by his
confidential talks and jovial DISPOSE
ton. He buncoed several Roseburg
people last spring, on a Booster for
Roseburg," to the amount OF $500 or
5000. which he secured in advance,
but the boost never materialized. He
is we'll known in Portland among the
printers, and also at the American
Type foundry, having worked there.
Clarke's first venture in Roseburg,
was an introduction in the Elk's
lodge. when he was dubbed Now Lis
ten" by his first speech, which won
the confidence of many brother Elks.
Clarke is now a fugitive from justice
with the detectives of the American
Bankers association on his trail.

Hotel Man Offered to Fight Him But

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-Lanky Bob
Fitzsimmons refused to accept fight
here with E. w. Fischer, proprietor of
the Windsor, with whom the pugilist-
actor had quarreled over a suite OF
rooms in the hotel.
Enraged beyond endurance by vul-
gar epithets from Fitz, the hotelkeep-
er told him what he thought of him
in equally sarcastic terms and moved
to eject the offending pugilist from
the hotel.
Fitz did not wait for a personal en-
counter, but hurriedly took his depart
ure and secured rooms at another
hotel. He met Mr.. Fischer several
times after the row but avoided trou-
BILE with him.

PUPIL DID HOUSEWORK,
Boy Declared Teacher Compelled Hin
to Do Her Washing.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Charges
that, if substantiated, would make it
seem that at least one public school
teacher has followed the idea of com
bining practical work with studies,
has been made by 12-year-old Willie
Planer. The boy said he had run
away from school because the teacher
had compelled him three times to
come to her room and clean it, be-
sides washing her clothing and doing
other household work.
Little Willie's father was brought
into court because he had beaten the
boy. The father said his reason for
this was because the boy refused to
go to school. Then came Willie's
startling explanation

The place known as the G. H. Blake res
idence which f. II. Pillsbury bought last
fall of Mrs. w. L. Jacobs, has been under
going a most thorough remodelling and
repairing during the winter. This is one
OF the most beautiful locations in the viii
lsge, with large and level grounds and
| plenty OF shade trees, and the buildings
/ being set back from the street, are free
| from dust and other annoyances. While
1 the buildings were well planned in the
beginning the improvements have made
4 this an ideal residence. Some of the work
which has been completed is as follows: A
| large porch ten feet wide has been added,
beginning at the ell part on TIE south of
the main building and running across to
the west side, along that side and around
the north and east to the barn. To orna-
ment the porch and support the roof there
are nineteen pillars of the colonial style.
The interior has been changed, some of the
rooms enlarged, so there are 26 rooms, be-
sides closets, etc. An addition was put on
to the west center which enlarges the front
hall. New stairs in the hall have been
built. Five lavatories in the different
rooms, and the bathroom moved on to the
second floor, while water closets both on
first and second floors have been added
Fine grill work has been built over the en-
trance to the sitting rooms and parlor
and draperies separating the hall and three
large rooms which open into each other
Almost all the rooms have been newly
|, papered, and much taste and study hal
been exercised in blending the colors O.

to make beautiful harmony of pleasing
