SUIT AGAINST MINIMUM
WAGE IS BROUGHT

Frank O. Stettler, paper-box manu-
facturer of Portland has brought suit
against Edwin V. O'Hara and others
composing the Industrial Welfare Com.
mission of the state, asking that it be
restrained from enforcing the law as
against him. He claims that it deprives
him of his property and liberty without
due process of law. That it denies him
equal protection and takes his property
without compensation.
Mr.. Stettler says that he cannot pay
the minimum wage fixed by the COM
mission without going broke. That he
pays many Of his help more than the
1854, the minimum wage, but some he
pays less, on account Of their inexperi-
ence and inability to earn the minimum
wage. He also would take advantage
of the fact that many of his employees
have other sources of income and can
live on less than the minimum wage.
Others, he asserts, board at home or
with relatives and so do not really need
the entire sum of 1854 a week. This
should, he thinks, make the fortunate
ones glad to work for whatever differ
ence there is between their incomes
from other sources and the minimum
wage. In other words he would be en-
titled, if his ideas are correct, to have
any girl who had an income of 1854
week work for him for nothing, and if
her income was above that sum, by
parity of reasoning, she should pay him
something for the job.

The Markets


The hop market has been rather quiet
for several days, but prices refuse to
drop. Sales of Fuggles were made
Thursday at 27 cents, and it is now just
a question of holding on. There is no
reason why Oregon hops should not 90
to 80 cents or better, for New York and
old country prices both justify this
raise. The English consumption is $780,,
900 cwt. an the government report of
the crop places it at 255,000 cwt. AL
lowing for brewers hold.overs, there is
still a shortage of 100000 bales to be
filled and as these cannot be procured
on the Continent, which instead will
have to buy TO complete stock required,
it must look to america. The crop in
this country is estimated at 3l5,0OO
hales, and the importations will be
probably 10000 bales. This will leave
100000 bales for export to supply a
demand from England alone of 100000
bales, besides the shortage that must
be made up on the Continent. Wheat
prices are cent lower and the market
quiet. Poultry is in good demand anC
eggs still going up, the hens not yet
having completed tleir winter gowns
and having no time to attend to legiti
mate business.

IMEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys
in their effort to expell it from the
blood. They become sluggish and weak
en-, then you suffer with dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy
here; take a tablespoon IN n glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been useC
for generations to flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize thu
acids in urine, so it no longer irritates
thus ending bladder weakness,
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure, and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink.

SIX INCHES WATER
Kansas Death Mystery Sur
rounds Muddy Pond.
Two Preachers Suspected
Compare Shoe Prints.

Dodge City, Kan, May 13.-Mystery
surrounding the death OF Ernest Lar
key the young Ford county farmer,
whose body was found in the shallow
waters of creek near Ford Sunday
night, thickened today when Ira Paulen,
on whose farm the body was found,
brought to Sheriff Argabright the in
formation that shoe prints found near
the creek were two inches s-lorter than
the shoes worn by the dead farmer
The sheriff was urged to take to the
scene the two itinerant preachers de-
tained last night in connection with the
investigation and to compare their foot
prints with those near the creek.
Because of strong feeling expressed
against the preachers by the dead
farmers neighbors, Sheriff Argabright
decided to leave the preachers here and
take only their shoes to Ford.
The preachers had been staying at
Larkey's home three weeks. 1t was
one of them who reported to the auth
critics the finding of Larkey's body
face downward in six inches of water.
Larkey's friends refused to credit the
coroner's theory of suicide on the
ground that no man would drown him
self in six inches of water.
The two preachers held meetings in
a school house near Larkey's home and
are said to have converted him to their
belief. Polygamy and the giving of all
worldly goods to the poor is said to

JAPAN WILL WAIT
Ambassador VIII Act Upon De.
ciSiOn of Johnson.
Anti-Alien Bill Still on Gov.
ernOr'S Desk.

Washington, May 13.-The Japanese
ambassador will take no further steps
in the protest against the California
anti-alien land law until Governor
Johnson acts upon the bill before him.
Should he sign it it was learned today,
Japan, without making further repre-
sentations to the state department will
wait reasonable time to learn what
the federal administration intends to
do to meet it's complaint against the
measure.
1t was indicated that Japan would
not move to test the constitutionality
of the law but inclines to the view that
1t Is incumbent upon the United States
to take up that phase of the question.
Although it is understood that Gov
ernor Johnson has 80 days to act, Of
ficials believe his answer to Secretary
Bryan's last communication will be re-
ceived within a week. The Japanese
situation was discussed today at the
cabinet meeting but no conclusion was
reached.
London, May .13-'If it be true that
Japan wishes to carry the California
land investigation to The Hague tribu-
nal we may shortly obtain a fruitful
lesson in the practical limits of arbitra-
tion,'' says the Pall-Mall Gazette today
in discussing the situation which has
arisen between the United States and
Japan in regard to the California alien
land ownership bill.
The newspaper continues: 'If the
Chinese are to have free entry to
the Pacific coast it means eventually
the eXtirpatiOn of white labor from that
region. All the arbitration in the world
will not persuade the people of the
western states that it is their duty to
give up their bread and butter to an
alien race, and we can imagine how
much likelihood there is of the govern
ment at Washington taking measures
to enforce such an award upon it's own
subjects. We should rather like to see
the experiment for it's usefulness in
bringing dreamers ack to hard facts.

This Is Only Solution.
WORK FOR THE CONVENTION
Leaders at Chicago Conference
Confident of Success.
Written Appeals From Many
States Before Committee.

Washington, May 13.-Republican
senators who attended the Progressive
conference in Chicago returned today
determined to exert all influence at

committee to call a reorganization
convention in the fall. When the ma
tional executive committee meets here
May "a, these senators will report the
sentiment from many states as ex-
pressed in the Chicago conference.
Senator Cummins said today that
written appeals from many states
would be laid before the national COM
mittee setting forth reasons for a re-
organization convention.
I'VE feel greatly encouraged" said
he.
The suggestion that an effort be
made to induce Republicans who join
ed the Progressive party to return to
their old allegiance was discussed to-
day by house Progressives and Rep
resentaive Hinebaugh of Illinois
speaking for them issued a statement
declaring that the only course for
the Progressive Republicans to pursue
is to come into the Progressive party
where they belong.

tee with instructions for public hear
ings.
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee was busy early in the day
urging all Democratic members to be
on hand in case the question should
come to a vote and he felt confident
the Republicans first move against the
majority would be checked. Some Re-

not support the Penrose amendment
argue that hearings on a tariff for rev.
enue bill would avail nothing and that
We're the bill written from protective
standpoint, they would favor hearings
Senator Penrose and other Republi-
can senators planned to talk on the
amendment at length when the senate
convened and it looked as though it
might be some days before vote was
reached.

CALL A WARSHIP
John Bull Anxious to Collect
Guatemala Debt.
May Display Power to Hurry
Up Payment.

London, May 13.-The British for
eign office is hopeful of an early set
tlement of the British claims against
Guatemala. The last dispatch received
from the British minister, Sir Lionel
E. G. Garden, indicated a satisfactory
reply to the demand was anticipated in
a day or two. The British minister's
instructions authorize him to call on
British warship should he think its
presence in Guatamalan waters desir-
able. Therefore. although the foreign
office had not as late as today been ad-
vised that the British cruiser Aerolus
had departed from Kingston, Jamaica,
for Puerto Barrios, it is thought like
ly that the British minister has called
upon her commander to hasten, by
the appearance of the vessel, the pay
ment of the long overdue debt.
Although the matter is considered
as one absolutely between Great Brit
ain and Guatemala. the United States
government had been advised of the
British intention to insist on the pay
ment of the bondholders. Guatemala's
failure to do this as promised at the
end of April, has, it is stated in Off
cial circles, only made the British min
ister's notes to the Guatemalan gov
ernment more insistent

K. C. BANDIT FAILED,
Armed Man Missed Footing in Attempt
to Board AdoIphus Busch Car.

Kansas City. May 13.-An armed
man attempted to board the private
car of Adolphus Busch, the st. Louis
millionaire brewer, which was at
tached to Chicago & Alton passenger
train No. "a. known as the early
Bird" soon after the train left here
for the east last night. The train was
running rapidly and the man missed
his footing he Ieaped for the steps
and fell to the ground. He tried to
get on the train near the scene of the
recent Kansas City Southern ho1dup,
in which several passengers were rob
bed and Jesse NJ. Short, a mine own
er of Joplin, Mo, was shot and serious
ly wounded by a lone bandit
The conductor of the Chicago &
Alton train telegraphed the police of
the mans attempt to board Mr..
Busch's car two hours after it hap
pened. Police were hurried to the
neighborhood, but they found no trace
of the intruder.
ST. Louis, May 13-Adolphus Busch,
the multi-millionaire brewer, arrived in
Union station he walked down the steps
of his private car to a wheeled chair in
which he was taken to a waiting auto
mobile. Members of the Busch party
knew nothing at the time of the at
tempt of an armed man to board their
car just as it was leaving Kansas City
last night Bert Mile, flagman was
on the rear platform. He struck at the
man with flag and the man dropped
from the train.

STRIKERS STAND FIRM.
Street Car Employees of Cincinnati
Refuse to Arbitrate.

Cincinnati, May 13.-The Union of
Street Car Employees today refused
to arbitrate with the Cincinnati Trac-
ton company conditions offered by
the latter and decided to continue the
strike. Recognition of the union be-
fore arbitration is insisted upon by
the men.
The traction company which has not
been able to operate any of it's cars
since Saturday afternoon had offered
to arbitrate with the men providing
the employees resumed work pending
the result of the arbitration. 1t even
appointed its arbitration committee and
the decision of the union came as a de-
cided shock not only to the company but
to the hundreds of thousands of people
who have been walking to and from
work since the strike was inaugurated
The decision to refuse to arbitrate
was reached after Mayor Henry T.
Hunt, as we'll as several labor leaders,
had addressed the meeting of the union
men. The mayor urged arbitration but
his appeal was apparently in vain.

IT is HOT TODAY.
Thermometer Climbs Nearly to 90
Cooler Tomorrow.

This is not only the hottest day this
year but is also the warmeSt May 13
on record in Topeka. At 2 o'clock
this afternoon the thermometer read
ing was SO degrees; the former rec
ord was 81 degrees in 1900. But the
hot weather is not here to stay; the
wind will shift to a northerly direc
ton and it will be cooler by Wednes-
day.
1t is a Fourth of July brand of
atmospheric conditions that are be-
ing experienced today. The wind is
blowing at the rate of 5 miles an
hour from the southwest. The fore
cast is for generally fair weather eX-
cepting in the northeastern section of
the state where unsettled conditions
will prevail In fact it is the opinion
of the weather man that generally fair
weather will be the order of things
for several days.
The river has risen four and a half
feet since Monday morning. The stage
at noon today was 14.3 feet and the
water was still slowly rising. How
ever, no alarm is felt. The danger
point is a long way off.
