6 THE MORMISG OKEGOMAX, SATUKDAT, JANUARY, 2V lOT. ONLY OWE BILL HUNS GAUNTLET Week' Ended and Very Utile Has Been Accomplished at Salem. MANY BILLS INTRODUCED Total to Date Is SSO, a. Larger uin t Vr Than In Same Period -Last i r Simp Print-In Office Behind; Wltli Its Work. SALEM, Or.. Jan. 25. (Special.) A.t thus end of the econd week of the eeslon. the Oregon Legislature has ac- compllslicd little In tlie way of finished work, but has laid good foundation for work in tlie rem&lnfns 26 days. Only one bill has passed both houses, while four others have passed the Senate and two" have passed the Mouse. But the two House bills were killed In the Sen ate yesterday by Indefinite postpone ment upon adverse reports from com mittees. The bill that has passed both houses la Senator M. A. Miller's, establishing boundary line between Linn and Lane Counties. The two House bills killed in the Senate were the estray bill by Barrett, of Washington, and Jackson's btll permitting1 Jurors to separate at any time before the submission of a ease to them. The former was killed because the present estray law Is con- sidered sufficient; the latter because the Judiciary committee thought It bad policy. More Bills Introduced. Introduction of bills has proceeded more rapidly this session than two years aero. In the Senate 132 bills have been introduced, and in the House 248, or a total of 380. as compared with 127 in the Senate and 227 in the House, or a total of 264 at the end of the second week last session. Introduction of bills has this year been more rapid than Is apparent from comparison, for a large number of those on tlie calendar two years ag-o were charter bills, which have no place in the Legislature now. But at the end of the second week of the last session- many bills had been reported and passed both houses. Up to the present time the committees have hardly begun 4work. Delay this session is due In part to c-ong-estion in the printing; office, state Printer Dunlway has been handicapped by lack of help and also by the fact that during the first few days he was compelled to wrfrk his force on blanks which should have been prepared In advance of the opening of the session. Work of the Legislature is now well in hand, however, and most of the im portant measures have been introduced. Railroad 'bills, banking bills, plans for loaning state funds, irrigation bills, and other measures that have received public attention, are ready for commit tees, and If prompt attention be given them the coming week there should be very rapid dispatch of business. - Tilts Between Members. . There have been a few sharp but brief contests already.- Indlcatlnr that some heavy figrhtlns: may be expected later. One contest, In which there was little discussion, however, took place In the Senate yesterday when Senator Miller. of Linn-Marlon. moved - that l.aughary's Monmouth Normal School appropriation bill be taken away from the committee on ways and means and be referred Jo the committee on educa tion. The sole argument In support of the change was that the committee on education has one Normal School bill in its hands already, and that before the committee on ways and means consid ers the question of appropriations, the education committee should consider the Question of Normal School policy and have all bills on that 'subject in its hands. Save Saloon Men's Scalps. There was. a sensation in the House Wednesday when the committee on al coholic traffic reported favorably on Settlemier's bill to prevent the issuance of saloon licenses to persons who have violated the liquor laws. This would put a large number of Portland liquor dealers out of business for violation of the Sunday law. The Multnomah dele gation woke up to the situation and hurriedly secured an order referring the bill to the committee on Judiciary, where a different report Is expected to be had. The same course was pursued with re gard to Newell's bill to prohibit pool scllinsr and other forms of gambling on the State Fair grounds. The bill is favorably reported by the committee on agriculture, but upon motion was re ferred to the committee on judiciary, because not containing penalties for vio lation of the act, Fight Over Banking Bill. Then there was another interesting fipht over the possession of a bill Intro duced . by Representative - Barrett, of Umatilla, providing for the loaning of state funds to banks. This bill had been referred to the committee on salaries of state officers. A somewhat similar bill by Washburne. though more satis factory to the bankers, had -been refer red to the committee on banking, and an effort was made by Vawter and McCal- lon, of the banking committee, to have the Barrett bill referred to that com mittee also. A motion to that effect was voted down and then the Washburne :blll was taken out of the hands of the .committee on banking and sent to the ' committee on salaries of state officers The Washburne bill provides that banks receiving deposits may Rive security In the form of personal bonds, while the . Barrolt bill provides for gecuntv in . form ot public bonds. . Important Measures Coming Up. There are several Important questions of legislation scheduled for considera tion the coming week. The Governor's vetoes of Senate bUls .have been made a uperlnl order for Wednesday m.t 2 VI The strongest contest, if any. over these bills will be on the Board of Control 'bill, which, however, It Is not believed, will be passed over the Qovernor". veto Ten votes Bgainat the Mil will defeat it and as there are six Democrats In tne Sen ate it Is probable tbat four more votes cn oe secured among the Republicans. The most Important committee meeting next week will be that of the railroad committee, which will hold a public ses sion Monday evening- when all persons having opinions to present are Invited to be present. TAX" r CKPATEXTED LANDS I'acklcff's Bill Designed to Increase the St-ateCs Revenues. SALEM, Or., Jan. 15. (Special.) Kepresentatlve Kackleff would have assessed all unpatented lands within the state tuat may have become segre gated from the public domain. The bill.

MARRIAGE I. W IS A5IENDED County Clerk Fields Seeks to Correct Common Almacs. SAuttM, Or., Jan. 35. (Special.) A Mil designed to reach the careless masristrate or rlfrajyman who has been accustomed to report at his pleasure to the proper authorities marriages he has solemnized, hag been Introduced in the Mouse by Representative Bever f dse. Section 5219 Is so amended as to require ministers and priests to establish to the satisfaction ot the County Clerk their authority to per form rn arrlarte ceremonies before tliev can be permitted to so officiate The purpose of this amendment is to make reasonably certain that only such per sons as are Qualified to- act will per form such ceremonies. Instances have been discovered in many counties where marriage ceremonies have been performed by persons who bad no li cense whatever to officiate. In some cases second marriages, after a lapse of several years, have been resorted to for the purpose of removing: ail doubt as to the validity of relations supposed to have been legally assumed thereto fore. - The amendment to Section B224 does not change the law in any respect ex cept to drop the word "wilfully" from the following sentence: "Any person solemnizing; a marriage who shall wil fully refuse or neglect to- make or de liver to the County Clerk the certlfl- cate," etc. With the word "wilfully" In the statute, it Is considered impossible to convict any one of a failure to return the required certificate of mar- rlage to the County ClerK within the required 30 days following the cere mony, as the neglect is never wilful. Section 5227 Is amended so as to make it compulsory on the part of the County Clerk to obtain the address of the man to be married and the address of the affiant. This is to enable the County Clerk to notify the parties procuring- the marriage license If the re turn Is not made according to law. At the present time that officer has no way to learn who performs the mar riage ceremony except the certificate be returned. With an enforcement of the provision of this amendment, the clerk can depend on the party obtain ing the license or the affiant for this information. The amendments Included in Repre sentative .Beverldgre's bill were sug gested and recommended by County Clerk Fields, of Multnomah. FEE SYSTEM IS ABOLISHED McCue's Rill Gives Justices and Con- ttables Flat Salary. , SALEM. Or.. Jan. ' 25. Representa tive McCue proposes to have Justices of the Peace and 'Constables in all cities haying a4population of 10,000 or more, placed on a flat salary, eliminat ing the fee system on which these on fleers now depend for thjelr. compensa- tlon. Mr. MxCue has introduced in the House a bill by the provisions of which Constable- in- cities of- -the popirla-tton-speciried shall receive in full compen sation for their services a salary of $900 per annum.- All. fees that may be collected by such of f it-er under the proposed law must be by him deposited In the county treasury. It is required that the Justice shall furnish and equip his own office and perform all of the duties he now performs. 'Jnder the same la.w there is provided ft salary of $780 per annum for Con stables in cities of 10.000 or more in habitants. Like the .Justices, these of ficers will be required to turn all of the fees collected by them Into the county treasury in like manner as the Justices.

E DEFECT IN TITLE Peculiar Land Measures Ad- pear ir Both Houses of the Legislature. ONE BY CONN ELL A PUZZLE Evidently Intended In Interest ot Those Who Purchase Land at) Taa Salej Various other Land Bills Introduced, SALEM. Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) Suspicious-looking: bills have appeared in each house of the Oregon Zjeglsla- ture, for the purpose of curing defects In land titles. Some are difficult to understand, so that their actual depths are as yet unrathomable. In the past, bills of this kind have been Introduced and some have passed to validate various shady deals, includ ing those of the lteu land ring. Inno cent enough in their outer garments, these bills contained "Jobs" for the purpose of securing to land sharps the Kalna which cunning bad. placed -in their hands. Bills of this sort are always danger ous, gotten up as they always are for the benefit of private or special Inter ests, to perfect titles which for some unusual or secret reason are defective. Puzzle Over Connell Bill. . TJp to the: present, none of the bills for curing defects in conveyances and for perfecting- titles seems to have an ulterior purpose, though there are some that are difficult to understand. There is, for Instance, House Bill 41, by Con nell, which hag for its purpose "declar ing persons having color of title by deed ot- conveyance received in good faith, to vacant and unoccupied land, the legal owners thereof, where such persons shall have paid the taxes thereon for 1 0 successive years." The body of tlie bill Is in accordance with the title, and has also the proviso 'that if any other person has a better paper title and- has paid taxes on the property at any time within the 10 years, then the first taxpayer shall not be entitled to the benefit of this act. The bill evidently intends to enlarge the scope of the law of adverse posses- sion. Under existing laws a man who holds open and notorious possession of land for a period of ten years thereby ac quires title. The possession must be such as would give the real owner notice of his claim. The Connell bill proposes to extend this to land held bv deed And without posesslon. provided all taxes as-' sessed thereon for a period of ten years have been paid. The bill does not provide thai- the deed under which a man claims must have been recorded or that the land must' have been assessed to him. thus giving notice to the real owner 'that he claimed title. The bill also extends the privilege of the act to any person who acquires land so held, during the ten-year period and continues to pay the taxes. This bill. If it should become a law. would prooaoiy have its principal application to land purchased at Sheriff's tax sale. hut where the validity of the tax pro ceedinps were In doubt. The owners of such lands - are usually nonresidents or I n-1 --i i ii h. wno. Knowing- the invalidity of the tax proceedings, pay no attention to the deed held by the purchaser-at tax sales, so long as he is not in possession. Deeds' Effective Without Sealing. Representative Freeman has introduced a bill similar to curative acts that have been before the Legislature at previous sessions. It is House bill S3, and provides that deeds that have been heretofore signed shall be effective without sealing. acknowledging or witnessing, and that an attempt to acknowledge before and officer authorized tov take acknowledg ments shall entitle the deed to record. and such deeds may be proven by copies of the record and shall be effective against the grantors, their heirs and as signs. The effect of this bill is to give validity to deeds that are not admissible as evidence of title under present laws. Senator Ooshow has introduced two bills that have for their purpose the com pletion of, records of title where they are now defective. By Senate bill 64 he makes It the duty of the clerk of the State Land Board to file for record in the appro priate counties, all patents and clear Jistg received from the United States, and' pro vides that these shall be recorded without charge. The other bill-Senate bill 63 requires that upon the completion of ad ministration the administrator or execu tor must file in the Recorder's office copies of the records of administration sufficient to show the transmission of title to the real property from the de cedent to the heirs. At present the rec ords of estates are kept In the Probate Courts only and are not to he found in the office of Recorder of Deeds. Representative Northrup has introduced House bill 54 for the purpose of giving- effect to deeds from married women for the purpose of barrlrur their right of dow er. His bill provides that such deeds shall be effective, even if not acknowl edged, or witnessed or sealed, and even though her dower right Is not mentioned and her huband will not Join her In the deed, though this does not apply to deeds in favor of strangers to the title. TIGHTEN RET OF EVIDENCE DEAD MAX'S BROTHER PUT ON WITNESS STAND. Tells Why His Suspicion Were) Di rected. Toward Wtddonraon Work of Portland Detective. BAKER CITY, Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) Henry bloody today on the stand testi fied as to his search for the murderers of his brother a work not ended ye. IMoody told of the efforts of Wlddowson and Brown to aid him. and of their selling every opportunity to turn suspicion to H. Stubbleneld, a miner who had been in Pine Valley on Friday night, and whose wife was named In connection with Moody. Every suggestion of a clew pointing in any other direction than themselves was pointed out, according to the witness, by Wlddowson and Brown, and they did all In their power to appear as if assisting him. Moody declared that he 'first sus- picioned Wlddowson when the saloonlst said.- as he put the pumps on the dead body, which he helped prepare for burial. Well, old man, I've put on your last pair of dancing shoes." Moody told of several admissions by Wlddowson as to his whereabouts, and other bits of circumstance that piece up the net of the state's theory, and these were corroborated bjr Detective- Lou Hart..

FEARS TO FACE MUSIC His Rooonimendatloris Certain to Dlsplpaso One Faction of Bustl ing Interest Governor Vrgcs Him to Hasten Report. BA1.EM. . Or.. Jan. -(Speclftl.) Anx ious evidently to escape snarls that might cost him Ills job of Master Fish. Warden, H. G. Van Iusen. of Astoria, has failed nie nia annual fish report. though nearly two months tardy, and has been reprimanded by Governor Chamberlain, who is chairman of the Fish Commission, to which the report should have been submitted before December 1, lOS. That Van Dusen fears the recommen- dationa which he is required to make. for the information of the Klsh Commis sion and the-N legislature, might involve him In quarrels between up-river and down-river fisheries of the Columbia. bring down a heap of trouble for him during the session of the legislature and perhaps cost liim his job, which he doea not hold with the same security as when Secretary of State Dunbar and State Treasurer Moore preceded Benson and Steel in those offices as ex-officio mem bers of the Fteh Commission-all this is a natural Inference from his delay in submitting the report. xesterday Governor Chamberlain wired Van Dusen to hurry up the report and received the reply that the press of work in the fish office fad made it imnonible to make out the report. Chamberlain wired back orders for the report, saying that it Is needed for information in legis lation. "Mr. Van Dusen is no busier than other heads of departments," said the Gov ernor afterward. and ought to be able to nna time to make out his reoort. as the superintendents of the penitentiary and the asylum have made theirs. Down-river fisheries, centered at Asto ria, demand abolition of nsh wheels of up-river fisheries, and the two interests clash over closed season regulations, the up-river men demanding' longer closed season than the down-river men. The lower interests have obtained successive extensions of the open season in August, originally from August 1. now to August 26. Inj the last two August seasons since the open season has lasted until the 2oth. and in IDOl, when the closed season was not enforced by the Fish Warden, so many salmon have been caueht in the Columbia that few have reached the hatcheries. , Down-river fisheries are making de mands of the Fish Warden, which he cannot put into his rtsh report without antagonizing the up-river men, and should he neglect to make the recommen- da t ions demanded on the lower Colum- uia. ne win on en a tne lower-river men. In this way. Van Dusen seems to be be- tween the devil ana tne aeep Diue sea, while the Governor is demanding the re port, which Van Dusen evidently does not wish to submit at this time. Nothing has leaked out of the new Fish Commission as to whether Us members will use the decapita-ting ax on Van Dusen. It la. clear, however, that 9ecre- tary of Slate Dunbar.-ond State Treasurer Moore were better friends of Van Dusen's on the hoard than are Secretary of State Benson and State Treasurer Steel. 1 J 11 11 - bar is a resident 'of Van Dusen's town and a member of the political organlza- tion. headed by Senator Pulton, that put Van Dusen In the office. Van Dusen was held in the office by Dunbar and Moore, against the minority member, Chamber lain. Should the Fish Commission do any thing with Van Dusen, the action will probably not come until after the Legis lature.
