Perkins was formally elected United States Senator in Joint meeting of the Legislature today. ANEW GOVERNOR Chamberlain Assumes Executive Office. GEER'S FINAL MESSAGE Formal Ceremonies Occur at State Capitol. OFFICIAL VOTE IS CANVASSED Retiring Governor Rcvicvrs Ills Term of Service Incoming Governor Makes Rec ommendations. George E. Chambcrfaln, Democrat, Is now Governor of Oregon. The Inaugu ration ceremonies In the Capitol build ing at Salem yesterday were attended by a large crowd that packed ail avail able space In the spacious ..all. Speaker Harris announced the canvass i the Gubernatorial vote, and declared Mr. Chamberlain duly elected Governof of Oregon. Chief Justice Moore administered the. oath of office, and- Mr. Chamberlain stepepd forward to read his inaugural address. SALEM, Or., Jan. 15. (staff correspond ence.) George E. Chamberlain, Democrat, became Governor of Oregon today, and Theodore T. Geer retired after four years of service. The ceremonies at the State Capitol were attended by a crowd that packed every available nook, corner and square inch, of space in the great legis lative hall. The event had been widely advertised throughout the ordinarily se rene and not easily agitated City of Sa lem, and men and women, and even chil dren, took advantage of the beautiful day to turn out en masse. By 10:80 o'clock the corridors of the Capltoi had taken an ap pearance of unusual activity, and by 11 o'clock the entrances to the legislative hall were choked. When the Senate appeared to go Into joint convention, the sergeant-at-arms and doorkeepers had no little trouble fighting their way through the almost im movable mass, but they finally made headway. When the Senators had taken their seats and President Brownell had assumed the gavel, he read briefly from the state constitution that clause bearing upon canvass of the vote for Governor, and then he caused tbs waiting and ex pectant crowd to disperse by announcing that the Inaugural ceremonies would not occur till afternoon. Speaker Harris announced the Joint committee to canvass the vote for Govern or, impartially choosing two Democrats and two Republicans. If any one had an idea that some one might attempt to ob struct the Inauguration of the new execu tive, his notion was speedily dispelled by the prosaic harmony of the perfunctory proceedings that ensued. The canvassing Committee, consisting of Senator Carter and Representative Whealdon, Republic ans, and Senator Sweek and Representa tlve Galloway, Democrats, retired to one corner of the hall, procured a table and there, with Secretary of State Dunbar, began to open the sealed envelopes from the various County Clerks containing a certified statement of the votes of the several counties. The returns were al most precisely the same as the unofficial record tabulated by Secretary Dunbar, ex' cept that an. error of 40 votes had been made In the Furnish vote for Malheur County. The figures show that Furnish received an aggregate of 4LG11 .votes, and Chamberlain 41,857, a plurality of 245 not many, but enough to make him Governor of Oregon for the next four years, if he lives. Speaker Harris then performed briefly and without flourish his duty of declaring George E. Chamberlain duly elected governor of Oregon. Committees were named to notlfythe retiring and in coming Governors that the Legislature was ready to receive them, and then tho Joint convention took a- recess till 2:15 P. M. There was no delay in the proceedings In the afternoon. The notification commit tees went out, and the house more or less patiently awaited their return. "The Governor and Governor-elect of Oregon!" called out the doorkeeper in a tone that barely reached the president. The gavel dropped thrice, the members and crowd arose, and the procession of state officers filed down the. aisle. It was led by Governor Geer, followed by Governor-elect Chamberlain. Then came the Legislative committee, Chief Justice Moore. Justices Bean and Wolverton, Sec retary of State Dunbar, Treasurer Moore, Superintendent Ackerman and Printer Whitney? After all had taken their seats on the rostrum. President Brownell in troduced Governor Geer, who was received with loud hand-clapping. He at once be gan to read his farewell message, which Is printed in full elsewhere. The reading of the message occupied nearly an hour. At its close there was very loud cheering that amounted to an ovation for the late Governor. "The oath of office will now be admin istered to the new Governor by Chief Jus tice Moore," announced President Brown ell. The Governor-elect arose, and both he and Judge Moore raised their, right hands. The oath was as follows: "You solemnly swear that you will sup port the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of the State of Ore gon, and that you will discharge the du ties of your office to the best of your abil ity, so help you God?" "I do." responded Governor Chamber lain. As he stepped forward to read his Inaugural message, he was vociferously cheered. "I have the honor to Introduce to you the new Governor of Oregon. Hon. George E. Chamberlain," announced the presi dent. At 3:25 o'clock the Governor began. speaking rapidly and clearly and with much emphasis, upon the points he de sired to impress particularly upon the at tention of the Legislature. It was ob servable that when the Governor reached several topics, notably, fla't salaries and the State Printer's oflice. his eye left his manuscript, and he spoke off-hand. His object was condensation, as he called at tention to the fact that his recommenda tions in full would be found In printed form. The reading of the message was con cluded at 4:35. Tho new Governor sat down amid applause and shook hands with- ex-Governor Geer, the Joint assemDiy dissolved and the ceremony was over. "Who Is Prosecuting Attorney for Mult nomah County?" asked an Oregonian re porter of the Governor at the conclusion of the inaugural exercises. "Nobody. I will appoint my successor within an hour," was the reply. At the close of Governor Chamberlain s lnausrural address an informal reception was held, when hundreds of citizens of Oregon met the new Governor and ex tended their congratulations and good wishes. At the executive office ex-Gov ernor Geer received Governor Chamber lain and said: "Governor, I welcome you to this oflice and wish you the greatest success In your administration." "Thank you, thank you," responded Governor Chamberlain. Governor Chamberlain then entered the private office and seated himself at the executive desk. Mrs. Geer was present and welcomed Mrs. Chamberlain, and when the new -Governor had taken his scat Mrs. Geer clapped her hands and wished, him a very pleasant term In the executive office. Tho flrst act of Governor Chamberlain was the appointment of John Manning to succeed himself as District Attorney of Multnomah County. Manning has been chief deputy under Chamberlain for over two years. He is 3S years old, and was admitted to the bar in Nebraska. He came to Oregon 11 years ago, and after practicing his profession at Woodburn for four years he removed to Portland. In 1900 he became chief deputy in Chamber lain's office, and his satisfactory service In that relation was the basis for his pro motion when .Chamberlain became Gov ernor. Manning will appoint Arthur C. Spencer as his chief deputy, but he has not chosen the second deputy. THEY AGREE ON ONE THING i Lawyer for Miners and Operator Prepare Child-Labor Law. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14. The lawyers for the anthracite coal operators and for the mineworkers, who are now In the city in attendance on the strike commis sioners, have drafted a bill limiting tha ages for children to work In or about coal mines and In mills and factories. It raises the age of boys permitted to work In the mines from 14 to 1G years, of boy3 working In the breakers from 12 to 14, and in mills and factories from 13 to 14. Work for females' is forbidden between the hours of 9 P. M. and 7 A. M. Opposition to Rntlroad Commission. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 14. (Spec ial.)

CAUCUS DEADLOCK HOLDS While Opposing Sides Rest on Their Oars. ArPEAL TO PARTY PROMISES, King County Candidate Refuses to Desert McBrlde Ankeny Cohorts "Work for Nothing But Their Chief Adjournment Today. There was a young lady of Niger Went out for a ride on a tiger. They returned from the ride With the lady inside. And a smile on the face of the tiger. OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 14. (Staff cor respondence.) Has Harold Preston met the fate of the lady of Niger? is the ques tion that quite a number of politicians are asking around the hotel lobby today. There Is a smile on the face of John L. Wilson, who is supposed to represent the tiger in this case, and his growing pres tige, since his anti-caucus alliance with McBrlde and Preston, was reflected In an increased representation In the third house today. Several prominent Seattle men, directly Interested in the fortunes of the Spokane candidate, came in this evening, and are quietly talking up his candidacy. They put forth the argument that his business interests at the present time make him more of a Seatlle than a Spokane man, and that he could be of great value to the Sound city at Washington on ac count of his previous experience there. To all of which the Preston men say "rot," and they promise a Seattle delega tion 'down here for Preston before, the campaign Is over that wili make the Wil-son-Ankeny and railroad contingent look meek and lowly In comparison. Aside from thl3 increased activity of the Wilson forces, there is not much new In the Senatorial situation. The con tending factions are resting on their oars today, each" apparently awaiting the move of the other. The McBrlde-Preston peo ple have been unable further to strength en their anti-caucus agreement, and It still stands as a barrier to Ankeny's suc cess, but Is of no other benefit to Pres ton. Little Xcw In Situation. The King County man and his friends have been working hard, but to no ap parent advantage. This 13 due to their inability to separate the Preston can didacy and the McBride bill. Preston's friends claim that by abandoning their support of the commission bill, they can land him a winner, but they say such a course would never be sanctioned by Preston, who seems determined to stand or fall with McBrlde. The latter Is cred ited with equal sincerity toward Pres ton, vbut would not be aided any in the passage of his bill by dropping Pres ton. The leading argument now put forth by NEW STRICT ATTORNEY APPOINTED. JOHX MAXXING, "WHO SUCCEEDS GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN. John Manning was born In Bo3cobel, Wis., in 1S65, and was raised at Orleans, Neb. He came to Oregon In 1S01. and practiced his profession at Woodburn for three years: He removed to Portland in 1S07. where he opened a law office, and he was appointed Chief Deputy by District Attorney Chamberlain In July, 1000. Mr. Manning Is a man of pleasing personality, and Is very popular with his friends and - associates. He Is recognized as an able criminal lawyer, and in the prosecu tion of cases has been successful. Arthur C Spencer, who has been a depury un der Mr. Chamberlain, will occupy a like position with the new District Attorney. Mr. Manning's flrst official act was to notify Mr. Spencer of his appointment. Preston's followers Is the sacrcdness ot the party pledge which demanded the passage . of a railway commission bill. Thiry argue that if this pledge is not ful filled, the party will be wiped off the earth at the next election. The fear of this penalty for backsliding Is not so great on the west side of the state, as this section is strongly against the com mission bill. On the east side, however, it carries some meaning, for at this ses sion an attempt will be made to divide the state into two Congressional districts, and the new east side district might re buke the party who failed to give It a rail road commission by voting the Democratic ticket. Anlceny Waiting for Caucus. The Ankeny men, free from any en tangling alliance with any question but the candidacy of their chief, are mean while waiting for an opportunity to settle the question in caucus. As stated yester day, there are nine Republican votes which have not joined the McBride-Pres- ton-WIlson alliance, and are not regarded as Ankeny men. Some of these men will enter a caucus at the first opportunity. One of them. Roth of Whatcom, was a member of the House 1Q years ago, when the Allen-Turner deadlock kept matters in a tourmoll throughout the session. He is now a Wilson man, but asserts posi tively that he will not agree to keep out o caucus for the purpose of furthering, any man's Senatorial aspirations. The exact number of Wilson men who are in this frame of mind is unknown, but there are others. Roth states that Wilson never asked him to keep out of caucus, but after his experience 10 years ago says he would not promise any man to stay out or to do anything that would prevent a speedy settlement of the Senatorial ques tion. Two other Northwestern men are reported to have broken away from Wilson within the past 48 hours, and now some of the opposition are wondering if John L. had anytning" more tangible than moral support to offer the alliance, when he Joined it. Whether he had or not. at that time the fact remains that the re sults of the alliance thus far have been more favorable to him than to either of the parties. As a sporting man expressed it, "John L. may have got Into the game on Jawbone, but he certainly pulled out with some chips." The Spokane man undoubtedly has a few votes, but as previously stated they are not fcr trading purposes, nor to be used in tying up caucuses. His followers are tonight 'claiming second place for him In the Senatorial race, but they do not back their claims with figures, but base It on the fact that his candidacy is less ham percd by the railway commission mill stone which is around Preston's neck. McBrlde is hammering away on his pet measure, and his blows are Jarring and weakening Preston's King - County " strength, so that a break-up seems inevit able sooner or Iatr. Wllsonrthougft a party to thlsalllance which Is boosting the Governor's bill at the expense of Preston's candlacy, is not affected by these blows, for the reason above stated, that he has apparently not committed his men to following the McBrlde bill, except to a very limited extent. This leaves him free to take advantage of anj; benefit which may result from a tie-up. while at the same time he has nothing whatever to lose. So little progress has been made during the p?.st 24 hours that it is now regarded as almost a certainty that no caucus will be reached until after a ballot Is taken next week. Both sides are working quietly, hut are not "crowding matters, and as the Legislature will adjourn on Friday until Monday, the time is almost too short to perfect any coups that will lead up to a climax before the flrst ballot. E. W. W. PAY FOR ROGERS' FUNERAL. Senate Passes That and One Other Bill New Bills Introduced. OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 14. (Staff cor respondence.) The Senate passed two bills at Its session this morning one, the reg ular Legislative expense bill. Introduced by (Concluded on Page 6.) LCOMESF Congress Passes Bill Suspending Duty.

An amendment was added In the Senate- repealing the .duty on anthracite coal, and was adopted by the House Without division. Only Ave members, all Republicans, voted against the bill In the House, and It passed the Senate unanimously. The Senate amendment Is the point for which Vest has been contending, and Is equivalent to the adoption of his res olution. A resolution will be Introduced In the House authorizing Inquiry Into the power of the Government to take pos session of coal mines and operate them In the public Interest, where evidence of conspiracy exists. Evidence of conspiracy among coal dealers has been found in Chicago, Mil waukee, Detroit and Columbus, O. Tne Governor of Ohio has begun Proceed ings to forfeit the charters of six con spiring coat companies. Thirty dealers In Detroit have been Indicted. In several towns men arrested for stealing coal have been discharged, and robbing' of coal cars on railroads Is common. Detroit and Chicago have begun the saleior free dlsttlbutloirof -coal" - - ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. The attend ance In the House galleries today was an evidence of the general Interest in tho proceedings which were to take place upon, the bill providing for the rebate of the duties on foreign coal for a period of ono year. An unusually large number of mem bers was on the floor and the leaders on both sides were In their places. After tho transaction of some preliminary business, Grosvenor (O.), from he committee on rules, presented a resolution supplemental to that adopted yesterday, directing the committee on merchant marine and fish eries to investigate the coal situation. The resolution authorized subcommittees of the committee to take testimony. It was adopted. Dalzell (Pa.), fr6m the committee on rules., then presented the special rule for the consideration of the coal rebate bill. It provides for the Immediate considera tion of the bill, with provision of one hour's debate, at the end of which time the previous question should be consid ered as ordered without intervening mo tion. Twenty minutes on a side were al lowed upon the rule. Dalzell. after reviewing the history of the present duty on coal, said the pend ing bill needed no defense. It was de signed to relieve the existing distress. Nevertheless, he said, he did not believe it would accomplish its purpose. He did not believe It would Increase the impor tation a single pound of coal. "I don't believe," said he, "that any thing now can stop the greed and avarice of the cormorants who are taking ad vantage of the already oppressed people, but It will satisfy a public sentiment and show the disposition of Congress to do everything in Its power to relieve the sit uation." Mondell (Wyo.) said the bill would in juriously affect the coal Industry ot hla state and of the Northwest generally by permitting competition, and In view of the stated belief of Dalzell that the bill will give no relief he asked if the committee would not consider the question of re ducing the period of Its operation to six months. . Dalzell "said the proposition had been considered, but because of the impossi bility of forecasting the future of tha coal trade It had not been adopted. Richardson (Tenn.) called attention to the fact that the rule prevented all pos sibility of amendment and he protested against such a course in such a crisis. Proceeding, Richardson said when the stress of emergency came there was per force a recourse to Democratic doctrine. Williams (Miss.), who followed Richard son contended that the removal of the duties must result In reducing- the prica of coal. In concluding the debate upon the rule, Dalzell declared that the hypoc risy of the other side was apparent from, the remarks of Richardson. The opposi tion, he said, was simply playing poli tics. The Democratic "perfidy and dis honor" bill had contained a duty on coal. A rising vote upon the adoption of the' rale resulted: Ayes. 136; noes. 110 a party vote, with the exception of Perkins (Rep.. N. Y.) and Gaines (Rep., W. V.), who voted with the Democrats. Cochran (Mo.) declared that thi3 was "late day repentance" on the other side. If the President and Department of Jus tice, he said, had done their duty months (Concluded on Fifth Pase.)
