The judgment OF the Supreme Court
OF the United States. with reference
20 the eonstltuti0nallty OF the Oregon
law limiting the laboring hours OF
women. decides authoritanyely a much
disputed question. Oregon. like some
other States. has a law which pro-
hibits employers from requiring OF
women more than ten hours labor a
day IN mechanical and manufacturing
establishments. The Supreme Court OF
Oregon upheld n law against the con.
tention that Il interfered with the
right OF contract secured By the four
seenth amendment OF the Constitution.

A combination oil land and real es-

c.. H. Hillman, Seattle millionaire,
becomes the owner of 5000 acres of
land near La Costa. twelve miles south
of Oceanside. Hillman is said to be
the largest taxpayer in King county,
Wash. He is a guest at the Van Nuys
hotel and is on his way to his new
possessions in San Diego county.
AT an expense of $200,000,' said Mr..
Hillman yesterday, II purchased 5000
acres of the Gruendyke estate there
and have leased 5000 additional acres
upon whichc l shall bore for oil.
Machinery costing between $4,000
and $50 000 already is upon the ground

SQUIRES-JOHNS0N MATCH
A JOKE, SAY FIGHT FANS
Australian Lemon Probably viii
Prove Easy Money for Giant
NEGRO When Men Meet
in Ring

Now that Bill Squires and Jack john
son are arranging a match to be held
in London it is evident the negro
fighter is after easy money.
How the Australian ever raked up
enough nerve to agree to meet the
African, the fight fans are at a loss
to explain.
His recent victory over Roche, the
Irish champion, probably elated him
to such an extent that he thinks he is
real fighter. Those who keep close
tab CT the fighting game say Johnson
probably intends to follow in the foot
steps of Tommy Burns by making
matches with men who Burns has de-
feated and pick up a bunch of easy
money.
1t does not seem possible the match
between the negro and Squires would
be a great drawing card, unless 1t is
that our English friends are content to
see any kind of bout 1t is not likely
the fight, if it takes place, will go many
rounds for unless Squires has greatly
improved he will not last long with
Johnson.
Suuires is on his way from Ireland to
confer with Johnson at London, where
the National Sporting club will arrange
for the fight. At the meeting the two
fighters will decide on date for sign
ing articles.
Pending negotiations a purse of $500
will be put up and there will be side
bet of $2500.

DISCUSS CIVIL
SERVICE NEEDS
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF COM
MISSIONS MEETS
ELLIOT n. GOODWIN LEADS IN
ABLE SPEECH
Lack Of Tenure Blamed for Non-
Enforcement of Existing Acts.
Urges Reforms In Pres
ent Methods
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. May 7.-Measures for en-
forcing civil service laws and the diff
culties to be overcome in applying such
laws to a service already in existence
were discussed at tonight's session OF
the second biennial meeting of the Ma
tional Assembly of Civil Service Com
missions, which began here today.
Well-known merit board officials
from all parts of the country are in at
tendance. The discussion was led by
Elliot II. Goodwin, secretary of the
National Civil Service Reform league.
Speaking as a man actively associ'
ated with the work of the Civil Ser
vice Reform league in helping draft
various civil service reform laws, and
in watching the workings of such laws,
Ell.~t II. Goodwin, in his address on
Enforcement of Civil Service Law,
Federal, State and Municipal Viola
tions and Prosecutions" called atten-
ton to the comparatively brief tenure
of office of the average civil service
commissioner.
To the brief tenure of office he
ascribed many of the shortcomings In
the enforcement of the laws.
Lack of Tenure Blamed
1.-THE lack of tenure operates in two
ways" said Mr.. Goodwin, ito the det-
riment of the enforcement of the laws
1t is continually bringing in new and
unframed men and 1t leaves the thor
oughly honest and efficient commits
sioner alone, on lofty pedestal, sup
ported only by such civil service sem
timent as may exist in his community
"The remedy is twofold. I believe In
tnr Nf aff for fxrfl A..
missioners and removal only for cause
stated, and after am opportunity to
answer the. reasons assigned for re-
moval. Far more important is 1t that
public opinion should be brought to
realize the peculiar and delicate situ-
alton which the commission occupies
and should make 1t possible that COM
missioners should not be removed
simply because they have enforced the
law and in so doing have trodden on
the corns of those having power of APP
pointment and removal.
Need Of ImpartiaIlty
1.-THE necessity that the law shall be
impartially enforced is one of the
hardest of the struggles for recog-
milton by commissioners and with ap-
pointing officers.
Underlying all success in the ad-
ministration of a civil service law must
be public confidence in the honesty
the impartiality, the freedom from par
tisanship.
THE whole fabric rests on confidence
Once that is destroyed the right class
of men will not consent to enter COM
petition because they fear they will not
get square deal.
violations of the law are, in almost
every case, merely phases of failure to
enforce the law. With few exceptions
the laws in force give to the commits
stoner adequate powers to secure en-

CENSUS MARSHAL
COMPLETES TOTALS
SHOW GAINS IN ALL WARDS
BUT EIGHTH
Los Angeles Has Thousands More
Children of School Age Than
Last Year, as Shown
by Count

Census Marshal Bert Farmer ex-
poets to report the totals in the school
census today.
Last night his staff of arithmeticians
was busy revising the figures from
each ward, with the result that the re-
port will be ready two days ahead of
the expected time.
Marshal Farmer said last night that
there would be a substantial increase
in the number of school age children
between and II years-in Los Angeles
as shown by his staff of canvassers,
the only ward showing decrease be-
ing in the Eighth. This is the ward
from which hundreds of MeXicans were
sent back to the republic when the hard
times began, and where there is
growing industrial district.
II think the Eighth ward totals will
show a decrease of about 100, while in
all other wards there will be a decided
increase" said Mr.. Farmer.
I'VE worked under difficulties in the
brief time allowed us by law as we had
to begin when the fleet was here and
get through in a certain time and
much of our work had to be gone over
again because so many persons were
absent from their homes. We are al
lowed only ten days for canvassing.
I'm the apartment houses, too, we
had to explain and sometimes insist
that correct statistics concerning the
children be given us.

many business houses are going up
and from which families are scatter

BELIEVE MARTIN GUILTY
OF A FIENDiSH MURDER

By Associated Press.
BELLINGHAM, Wash, May 7.-Po-
lice officials declare they can connect
E. II. Martin, under arrest at Portland
charged with the murder of Frederick
L. Danes in this city three years ago.
Martin was In Bellingham at the time
of the murder and lived near the scene
of the crime, but was never under sus-
picion.
The killing of Danes was peculiarly
atrocious, similar to that of the, Port
land pawnbroker. and is believed to
have been committed by either drug
fiend or q maniac.
Danes was a butcher and a money
lender He was struck down in the
front of his shop. his head horribly
hacked with cleaver and then
dragged to a rear room, where a large
spike was driven through the head,
pinning the corpse to the floor.
Charles Weatherford is in jail here
charged with the crime, and others
have been held on suspicion, but evf-
dence has always pointed to another
man as the actual criminal, whom the
officers believe they have found in
Martin.

HOTEL EMPLOYE CAUSE OF
BAD UNION LABOR TANGLE
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May Industrious and
charitably inclined employees of the
Wellington hotel have succeeded in
getting the management of that hos
telry into considerable trouble with a
score of labor unions and, incidentally,
tying up work on the pending i'm
provement Indefinitely. 1t all grew out
of natural desire of the hotel en-
ployes to assist In hurrying the work
on the Improvement. According to
charges of the union officials these
employees made so bold as to carry
on the work of extending the work
of plumbing and other branches Of
work during the night after the reg
ular workers had gone home AS the
hotel workers were not members of
the union complaints Immediately were
made.
Yesterday $50 workers, representing
every trade in the Building Trades
association, struck because they be-
lieyed that these nonunion men were
encroaching upon their territory.
Meanwhile the hotel is "up in the air."

CHINESE BOYCOTT AGAINST
JAPANESE GOODS ENDING
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, May THE Chinese
boycott of Japanese goods which came
about as a result of the humiliation
inflicted on the Chinese by Japan in
securing what the japanese consid-
cred an unfair settlement of the Tatsu
Maru case will soon die a natural
death.
The movement was started by the
Cantonese merchants, who endeavored
to carry the propaganda into the vari-
Gus parts of China by sending urgent
kilograms asking the residents to join
the boycott. This movement did not
succeed on account of the strong po-
sition taken by the viceroys, who took
severe steps to prevent its growth and
who succeeded in stopping the Can
tonese merchants in Tien Tsin, Shang-
hal and Hankow from Joining.
This attitude by the viceroys was
doubtless a result of Japanese pres
sure on China. Two societies. one the
society of National Disgrace and the
other a woman's organization. were
formed to help the movement. The
establishment Is of interest as show
| ing the national spirit everywhere

REFUSES TO ACCEPT
SECRET INFORMATION
q. T. EVIDENCE BARRED FROM
PAPER HEARING
dentIaI Evidence to Chairman Of
Investigating Committee,
but Is Spurned
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May THAT there
win be no secret record in the COM
mittee of the house Investigating the
wood pulp and print paper question
we made evident today when Chair
man Mann refused to receive from a
witness, in confidence, the names OF
certain newspaper publishers.
The incident acose during the testi-
mony of c. L. Knight, publisher OF the
Akron, Ohio, Bearon-Journal.
Mr.. Knight had stated that to his
knowledge the increase in the price oil
paper had wiped out the profits of a
number of papers in Ohio, and in fact
had forced one of them to the neces-
sity of borrowing money to meet the
pay rolls.
When called upon by Chairman Mann
to give the names of these papers. he
declined to do so on the ground that
the information came to him In a per-
sonal manner and that the publishers
have been ''hit hard enough" already
without proclaiming to the world the
fact that they were bankrupt.
Offers to Whisper EN-
He did say, however, that he would
give the names to the committee n
confidence, and that the committee
could summon them and they could tel
their experiences If they so desired.
Chairman Mann refused to receive the
names under this condition. stating
that If he was able to prevent 1t the
committee would receive no information
that did not go into the record.
A large number of publishers o1
newspapers In different sections of the
country were examined today, and they
all told the same story of a steady ad-
vance in the price of paper.
Among the publishers heard was
Frank b. Noyes. president of the Asso-
ciated Press and editor and proprietor
of the Chicago Record-H Herald, who told
of going into the market, owing to the
fear of the scarcity of paper, and buy
ing 1000 tons of paper at $2.45 per 1o(
pounds, when the maximuni of his
contract with other companies was
$2.10.
The committee will leave tomorrow
for Corinth, N. Y, where an investiga'
ton of the Hudson river mill will be
held.
