CLOSING
coNsTITUTloNALITY or STATE
LAW IS UPHELD BY ThE
SUPREME COURT.
Act Was Attacked by Theater Inter.
ests Of the State, but Court Holds
Il Applies to Theaters 40 Well 40 to
Other Husinesses-Law Is Sustained
in It's Entirety.

Olympia, May 30.-The constitution
atty Of the Sunday closing law as ap-
piled to theaters was sustained by the
supreme court in refusing writ OF
habeas corpus in the Frank Donallen
appeal, prosecuted from a conviction
for sunday law violation obtained in
a justice court in Seattle.
The Donallen proceedings were pros.
ecuted by the theater interests of the
state in a hope of at least having the
law declared unconstitutional in its
application to Sunday theaters orderly
conducted.
The law was attacked as unconsti-
tutional because it was alleged to be
unreasonable, arbitrary and unjust and
unnecessary Tor the protection of pub
lie health, safety and morals; because
the original act of 1866, upon which
the present sunday law is based, ex-
empted Snohomish county from its
operations; because the act Of 1881.
also territorial, embraces more than
one subject not expressed In the title,
and because the amendatory act of
1891 is not sufficient to include the
aters under it's title. In none of these
contentious does the court find merit
and sustains the law in it's entirety.

RURAL CARRIERS MUST
CHOOSE between EVILS

Gresham, Ore, May 30.-Whether to
run the risk of being run down by
thirty-horse power automobiles, with
the certainty of arrest if they escape
alive, or to resign their positions and,
see their families starve is the guam
dairy in which two rural mail carriers
in east Multnomah county have been
placed by a clash between the state
authorities and Uncle Sam.
Governor Chamberlain has issued a
proclamation forbidding traffic on the
base line and section line roads on
June 4, the date of the road races to
be held by the Portland Automobile
Club. The postoffice department has
issued orders to its rural mail carriers
in that district, to make their regular
trips over these roads on this date
II the men obey the governor they
will lose their government positions;
It they obey Uncle Sam they will
either be killed or arrested. About
thirty high-power automobiles will be
entered in the race, and there is u.tle
danger OF the carriers going to Jail If
they venture on the forbidden terri.
tory.
The course laid out for the races Is
fourteen miles over the two roads.
One race is to be 100 miles and the
oIler fifty miles. This means that
there will be automobiles on every
mile Of the roads throughout the day.
The local postal authorities have In
formed the carriers that the govern
ment will defend them in event Of ar
rest, but will not be responsible for
their death or damage to their rigs.

QUICK ADJOURNMENT AFTER
CURRENCY MEASURE PASSES

Washington, May 31.-In the dying
midnight oil the first session of the
Sixtieth congress completed its work.
At 1850 p. m. the dismissal came
from President Roosevelt and the ses-
sion passed into history. It's acts Of
commission and omission will be the
theme of political orators this fall; it's
merits and demerits, the people will
judge. The second session of this con-
gress will convene Monday, December
Z, at noon.
With the currency bill out of the
way, the senate and house entered
with zest on the work Of the closing
hours. The public buildings bill and
the general deficiency bill slid smooth
ly through on well-oiled grooves and
went to President Roosevelt for his
signature. The passage of these bills
was the opportunity for Chairman
James A. Tawney of the appropria-
tons committee to defend the repub-
lican party for its expenditures and an
attack on the majority for extrava-
gance by Representative Fitzgerald of
New York
Earlier in the day Tawney issued a
statement warning congress that If
the deficiency bill was not signed to,
night the government printing office
would have to close, throwing several
thousand out of employment, and the
June pensions would be defaulted. He
sharply criticised the filibuster of Sen
ator Robert M. La Toilette Of Wiscon-
sin and the democrats dilatory tactics
in the house, which had delayed legis-
lation and threatened the catastrophe
Last Bill to Pass.
The last bill to pass the house was
one authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to transfer from the treas
ury library to the libraries of the life
saving stations such books and publ
cations no longer of use to the treas
ury department, but which will be of
use to members of the life saving
crews in instructing them in their du-
ties

employers liability bill granting
compensation to the employees Of the
government service last night The
