Now, If Mr. Schnoerr would only part with hla long whiskers, he could have any thing be wanted from the legislature. Sues to Collect on Note. Joseph M. Reig haa tiled suit against Hiram Maden and J.

McARTHUR HITS 8CHUEBEL ANO EATON FOR 8TAN0 ON 'MEASURE CLACKAMAS MAN MAKES DEFENSE CHI, Wearing Bull Moota Badge, Thinking of Becoming Party's Candidate for Govern- 8ALKM. Feb. 25. (Special.) The bill giving the Governor the power to appoint special local county and municipal officials to enforce the laws vaa twice near death on recon sideration In the House today, and at the end of the last and hardest battle In the evening Speaker McArthur took the floor and charged sonfe of the Republican members, specifically Kulo.i of Lane, and Schuebel, with being "thin-skinned" In letting "The moat dumnahle piece of legislation even enacted" get by them. The bill wai pasaed Monday after noon, reconsidered later, and made a specldl order of business for this morning. In the afternoon the House tried to reconsider the bill. Reames, a Democrat, rose to a point of or der, declaring that a measure couli not be reconsidered twice unless it had been amended on flrat reconsid eration. A peculiar parliamentary situation developed, a cal of the Houao was demanded and the House remained Idle under this bead for half an hour, excited whispered consulta tions going on all the time. Speak er McArthur would have to rule on Reames' point of order. Hell of Clat sop, was missing and the minority wanted him. Schuebel, in speaking for Reames' point of order, charged that be had been approached by mem bers if the organization, who threat ened to kill some of his bills unless he "lined up" with them. When he charged thut favoritism bad beeu shown, Speaker McArthur interrupt ed him. "Mr. Schuebel." said the speaker. "You are making a direct personal charge against the speaker, and I will not tolerate It. ' Schuebel assur ed blm that nothing personal was meant, but continued his attack on the organization. Speaker McArthur charg ed thit It was the "thin-skinned" Re publicans who had let the bill get through. It was apparent that he specihrally nient Eaton and Schuebel. The afternoon of bitterness was end ed witn adjournment after nearly two hours of this discussion. Governor West limped into his of fice tb's morning after being absent since Friday afternoon, and regard ed it as a Joke that the legislators bad been so anxious as to hla where abouts as to break into his office and leave a bunch of bills on bis desk un ler heavy guard. Furthermore he slipped one over on the Legislature, when he gave the House and Senate guards receipts for the bills. The re ceipts were dated today. The situa tion between the Legislature and the chief executive, however, has com pletely changed. A Republican cau cus helt. at midnight last night re ported In favor of adjourning tomor row. If the Senate completed Its work, and meet again some time next k to consider the vetoes the Gov ernor is expected to have to offer. Leaders of the Republican organiza tion announced that forty-three mem bers had promised to return within Ave days and consider the vetoes. From the tone of the minority side ot the House, however. It is consid ered doubtful if the necessary forty can be obtained. One notable an nouncement by the organization lead ers was that Gill of Clackamas had been excluded from the caucus be cause be had announced that he had turned Progressive. Mr. GUI is wear ing a huge brass Dull Moose balge and ss.vs he Is seriously considering lng a candidate of that party for Governor at the next election. Goveftior West said that he did not return to the office on Monday because It waa n matter of hurting his horse or of disappointing the Legislature, and he chose to do the latter. Since Saturday he has been on his ranch at Cnnnon Reach, "taking a rest. Monday morning he started to ride to Seaside, but his horse cast a shoe and he was delayed. He explained his noticeable limp by saying that while wandering over his ranch he had fallen down an embankment and turned his knee. The Governor seem ed In the best of spirits. The general appropriation bill, car rying $1,230,000 was vetoed by the Governor, and shortly thereafter pass ed over his veto by both houses, with the Clackamas County delegations In both houses voting against Its pas sage. Seventy-four Items were includ ed in the bill. Governor West gave as his reason for vetoing it that he did not approve the manner of put ting tho miscellaneous appropriations in one bill, so he would have to kill them all or occept them. Some of the items contained In the bill, he said, were of questionable merltJn the House, both Schuebel and Gill voted to sustain the veto of the Gov ernor. In the Senate, Dlmlck strong- Ly opfiosed the passage of the bill ov- ri lur vriu. ncio ;vu imiv uik nronriatlons for the so-called horse doctor, the alleged forest protection. and the naval militia, all blanketed in one bill" he said. "Your Wayi and Means Committees have done this just because the Governor cannot veto specific items. I, for one, am willing to stav here and help get out of the hole the Ways and MV-ans Committees have rut ua In. On the floor of the House the nav al militia and the forest service ap propriations were the ones chiefly ohjected to. The Governor"! political alliei. however, put up no strong (Continued on page 4) IE DOES NOT IS WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. The long rumored break In the Dourne family la said to have occurred. Senator Itourne's offlce declines to comment on the New York itory that Mn. Ilourne closed her apartment in Stonelelgh Court yesterday and left for Portland.

CROSS, 8ECRETARY, AR RANGES FOR TALENT ON WESTERN CIRCUIT JAMES L WATSON TO BE SPEAKER Colonel Bain, of Kentucky, to Deliver Several Lecture Hinson to Conduct Bible Classes H. E. Cross, secretary of the Wil lamette Valley Chautauqua Associa tion, has announced that a number of good attraction! have already been secured for the coming session and tl-at success Is already assur ed, at least as far as a good program is concerned. Perhaps the most not ed speaker on the program Is Con gressman James E. Watson, of In diana, who is the "whip" of the Re publican minority in the House. Mr. Watson is known as one of the most farcible speakers In the House and he has had a great deal of weight in that body. Colonel George W. Dain, of Ken tucky, haa been engaged for aeveral lectures. He has a national reputa tion as a public speaker. Professor Pamabasiaha has been engaged as a special attraction for Children's day. He baa a large band of trained ani mals which he will use. M'aude Wil lis, a dramatic reader of note, has been engaged to give several readings. The contract for furnishing the mus ts has again been given to Professor Chapman, of the Pacific University. In addition to the music furnishe-l by himself the association has engag ed several other musical attractions. The Sierra Club, of California, a quar tet of mixed voices has been engaged for several performances as well as the Tyrolean Alpine Singers. These singers have a wide reputation as musicians of note. Dr. W. B. Hinson. of the White TempK', Portland, will take charge of the Bible classes during the entire sesbiou. Miss Lambkin, a noted New York physical culture expert, will have charge of the women's and children's department In this work. A domestic science course will be giv en the same as last year. The dates for this year's session are from July 8th to the 20th Inclu sive. Mrs. Francis Clark, a noted New York educator, has also been engaged to deliver lectures on education and other subjects. The association Is fortunate In getting Mrs. Clark, as she is recognized as one o! the leaders in her line. As she will spend the summer in the West, she will remain at the Gladstone Chautauqua during the entire session. Nug Hoon Chew, the loremost Chinese editor In this country, has been engaged to deliv er a course of lectures on the new Chinese republic. BEST CATCH OF YEAR II. W. Thompson, of Estacada, a forest ranger, holds the record for trapping wiltcats in this county for several years. He produced at the county clerk's offlce Mbnday skins of 30 wildcats and one coyote, receiv ing a bounty of $2 each for the cats and $1.50 for the coyote. He expects to sell the skim for from $2 to $3 each. "I waa out from December 14 to Feb. 7.' said Mr. Thompson, "and would have had much better luck had I not been compelled to remain in camp about two week! on account of a snow storm. One couger I caught got away and the traps Indicated that several wild cats and coyotes escap ed." B. F. FAUST RELEASED. A charge against B. F.
