WASHINGTON PEDDLER
LAW is HELD VALID

Olympia, Wash, Oct. 1S.-The state
supreme court Saturday sustained the
validity of the state licensed peddling
law passed by the legislature of 1909,
the decision. being in the habeas corpus
case brought by A. D. Mcknight
against Sheriff Hodge, of King coun-
ty.
Mcknight was arrested for violating
the law. He claimed it was unconsti-
tutional because different amounts of
license were exacted from different
classes of peddlers and because GER
tain peddlers were not required to take
any license. These facts do not bring
the law within the constitutional pro-
vision of class legislation says the de-
cision.
The court, however, does hold void
the provision of the law that all annual
licenses shall expire the second Mon
day in each January, and holds that
the license is good for twelve months
from the date it is issued.

DECISION AGAINST
UPLAND OWNERS

Olympia, Oct 16-In decision yes
terday in the case of the Grays Har-
Dor Boom Company VS.. j. P. o. Ions
dale ct al, the supreme court holds
that the upland owner has no interest
in the tide lands or shore lands In
front of his property.
The decision recites that there are
two methods of treating shore and tide
lands, one the method outlined above
and the other the recognition OF the
riparian rights of the upland owner as
against the public, which would com
pei the public to subordinate it's rights,
except as to navigation, to his conven-
fence.
In this particular case, in denying a
rehearing from it's original decision,
the court holds that Lonsdale, the own
er of the upland, has no interest or
right in the shore lands in front of his
place, and that the only damages he
may recover from the company for
shutting him off from the water is
such damages as the booming opera
tons may do to his upland; for in
stance, in the case of an overflow
caused by such work.
Anticipating such a ruling, many
spectators have been busy buying the
shore lands, between high and low wa
ter, and now the upland owners will
have to deal with them before they can
have any right of ingress from or
egress to the water in front of their

ed. Already some money is coming

Should congress adopt President
Taft's recommendation, it is believed
here that the reclamation service ana

and SIS, OOO, 900 added from public land
sales during the fiscal year ended June

The aggregate estimates of the lOcai
engineers were $27,00O,000. The needs
of all the projects were discussed and
a tentative agreement reached to dis
tribute the available $11 100000 over
those projects which could be brought
nearest completion within a year. The
allotments won't be made public until
Secretary Ballinger returns to Wash

North Yakima, Oct Ex-senator
Bob" Taylor, of Tennessee, who de-

PRESIDENTS
MEET
TAFT AND DlAZ CLASP HANDS
AT INTERNATIONAL
BORDER.
Calls Exchanged and Brilliant Ban
quet is Given by Mexican Executive
at Juarez-Meeting Typifies the
Strength of Bonds Between the Two
Countries.

expected meeting between fTelueHI
Taft and President Diaz of the Repub-
lie of Mexico occurred here Saturday.
.Outwardly it was attended with dis
play of soldiery, flare of trumpets, a
boom of cannon and pomp of cere-
mony suggesting supreme authority,
but in the actual handclasp of the two
executives and in the exchange OF
courteous words that passed from lip
to lip, there was simple but cordial in
formality
President Taft was the first to
speak. He assured President Diaz of
his warm pers onal regard. President
Diaz assured President Taft of his high
esteem of the American who had &C
complished so much in the Philippines,
in Cuba and elsewhere, and who had
now the honor to be the chief execu-
tive of so great nation as the United
States.
Typify Strength of Bonds.
President Taft, in simple, American
fashion, declared he was glad to meet
President Diaz. He was glad to know
the president of such great nation;
especially glad to know the president
who had made the nation great. Both
presidents dwelt upon the cordially
of the relations existing between the
United States and Mexico. President
Taft declared that the meeting was not
necessary to make stronger the bonds
of friendship; it merely typified the
strength of the bonds as they already
exist Less than a score of persons
were permitted to witness the meeting
of the two executives.
Later President Taft and President
Diaz withdrew into an inner room of
the Chamber of Commerce building,
where the historic meeting occurred
and where they were attended only by
Governor Creel of the State of Chihua-
hua, ex-Ambassador to the. United
States, who acted as Interpreter.
Gorgeous Banquet at Juarez.
The scene of the days ceremonies
shifted from time to time from the
thriving little American city across the
shallow, wandering Rio Grande to the
typical little Mexican settlement of
Ciudad Juarez. In the customs house
there President Diaz received a return
call from President Taft, and again
late in the evening entertained the
American president and a large dinner
party at a state banquet, which, in all
its surroundings of lavish decoration,
of brilliant color, of wealth of silver
plate handed down from the time of
the Emperor Macmillan, probably was
the most memorable feast ever served
on the American continent.
1t was at this banquet that the more
formal and public expressions of re-
gard between the two executives as
the representatives of the people of
the United States and of Mexico were
exchanged. The banquet also marked
the end of the 'day of international
pageantry-a day of cloudless skies"
