OLTMTTA. Wash.. Jan. SO. (Special.)
Senator Piper's Seattle Kxposltion bills,
carrying the 1,000.000 appropriation and
providing a fund from which this ex
penditure may be met. passed the Sen
ate without a dissenting vote this morn
infr. Considering the sharp division on
many matters between the insurgents
and the regulars and remembering the
bitter opposition aroused against the ap
propriations by some of the first Work
ers for the fair in the field, this unani
mous vote Is remarkable and evidenced
emphatically the merit of Senator Piper's
echeme.
It was 11 o'clock before the Senate "met
and as soon as possible after routine
matters had been disposed of considera
tion of the bills was taken up. They
were favorably reported by the appro
priations committee. Some minor amend
ments were proposed to the bills, but
none of them altered Piper's plans in
any material way, 'and all the amend
ments he cheerfully accepted. Some
sliffht criticism of the bill came from
Senators Itands of Clark, Sumner of Sno
homish and Graves of Spokane, but that
they did not seriously oppose the bills
was evidenced by their affirmative votes
later on the passage of each of the meas
ures. The final vote on the bills was not
reached until about 1 o'clock this after
noon, the Senators delaying their lunch
eon to carry out their pledge that the
bills should be passed at the morning
session.
The bills were ordered transmitted to
the House Immediately, where, under, an
arrangement with the leaders, they to
, morrow will be promptly referred to the
appropriations committee, and as soon
as House rules will permit, will be re
ported back favorably and passed.
As the details of the Piper plan be
come known to the legislators, his expo
sition bills receive constantly greater
commendation. Already some of the
King County men are exhibiting- Jealousy

Hear From ComntlRftloners.
At 2 o'clock thle afternoon the House
and Senate, under resolutions passed
during the mornlnp, mot to hear ex
tended verbal reports from the members
of the State Railway Commission. Chair
man Harry Kali-child, and Commissioner
John Lawrence each delivered long and
carefully prepared addresses, in the
course of which they reviewed In detail
alt the work of the commission since its
Inception. They told of the several pub
lic hearings resulting In the establish
ment of Joint wheat rates and the like,
of numerous private conferences with
railroad representatives, of concessions
made by the. roads, of the new general
distance tariff, and of other matters
heretofore covered at length In the press.

In the way of amendments to the com

urban railroads be included In the
jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission.
This would make the law less likely to
be overthrown. He asked for amend
ments giving the commission power to
enforce reciprocal demurrase. He said
the law referred to reciprocal demurrage,
but he den?d anybody to find a defini
tion of it in any dictionary or decision.
He referred to the resolution Introduced
in the Senate by Senator Boone calling
on the commission to Issue a reciprocal
demurrage order at once. Action had not
teen taken, he said, because the com-
mission believed It lacked authority.
The amendment would allow the com
mission to enter an order, after a hear
ing, that cars be furnished In two or four
or six months, and if not furnished, then
the reciprocal demurrage to be paid. He
understood the demand for a reciprocal
demurrage order to take effect imme
diately, but he feared there would be a
demand for shippers for 25.000 cars at
ence. The railroads could not furnish
any such a number and he feared the
courts would overthrow the order as a
confiscation of property.
Fairchlld asked for another amendment
that would allow the commission to re
quire the books of the railroads to be so
kept as to show earnings within this
state.
Lawrence in hla speech said, he, would
welcome Investigation of all his official
acts and if the legislature so desired, it
would not be hard to scet rid of him.
Referring to the expenditure of about

He discussed his visits to the commls-

the work of the different commissions:
also the car shortage. In this latter con
nection be said the bill limiting the con
tinuous employment of railway employes
to 16 hours would tend to lessen the
shortage of cars because the railroads
would find it advantageous to keep the
cars moving and get them to their destl
ration as soon as possible.
In the Senate this morning another of
the battledore and shuttlecock moves of
the Poison 40-day session resolution was
recorded. The Senate, weeks ago, voted
unanimously for this resolution. Then
the House sent it to committee, which,
after a few flays, reported It out with an
Amendment that no bills should be in
troduced after February 20, except by
WITHQU
consent ot two-thlrd.3 or the members or
both Houses. Then it shot back to the
Senate and went to the rules committee
for a week's rest. whence It emerged
this morning with a new amendment that
bills, cannot be Introduced after February
zo. except Dy consent of tnree-nrtns or
the members present and voting in each
House.
Short Session Is Dead.
Now It will go back to the House, which
will probably send it to a rules com
mittee again to concur in the amend
ments or else amend It again.
. The number of bills before the Leelsla-
ture this session, many of great import
ance, and the determination of many of
the members to thoroughly investigate
measures before voting upon them, abso
lutely Insures that the session will last
the full 80 days, and that this resolution
will be futile, so far as early adjourn
ment is concerned.

Sexploitation Director Praises Sena-
t tor's Work for Seattle Fair.
SEiXttI.E. Wash.. Jan. 30. (Special.)
Henry E. Reed, director of exploitation
for the Seattle Exposition, tonight gave
out the following signed statement:
'Senator George U. Piper's four bills
covering "Washington's appropriation of
11,000,000 for the Alaska-Yukon Exposition,
show careful thought in preparation and
firm grasp on the subject. The plan was
first unfolded by Senator Piper at
Olympla on the night of January 23 at
a private meeting attended by President
Chllberg of the Exposition, Judge Thomas
Burke. John Kartman, C. J. Smith, Sena
tors Paulhamua and Gurd, myself and
others who were advancing the cause of
the exposition. Up to that time It had
been a question of where money could
be secured if the Legislature made the
appropriation.
It was the opinion' of all that Senator
Piper's plan was a happy solution of the
situation and that it removed every
objection that could be legitimately urged
against a $1,000,000 appropriation by the
State of Washington.
Senator Piper has rendered signal ser
vice to the Alaska-Tukon-Paclflc Exposi
tion, a service which the State of Wash
ington will in future times remember
with gratitude. His strong personality,
wide acquaintance and Influence with
members or the Legislature enabled him
to get for the exposition the best possible
results- (Signed) HBNRT E. RKSD.

FATHER'S PLEA NEXT
Will H. Thompson Will Address
Tacoma Jury Today.
LAWYER MORRIS WEEPS
Attorney for Youthful Seattle Homi
cide Overcome by. Emotion Dur
ing Argument Bitterly Assails
Dr. Redpatb, State Witness.
TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 30. (Special.)
After an argument lasting a day and a
half, Attorney Will H. Morris.actlng for
the defense in the Thompson murder
trial, brought his speech to a close this
evening. Tomorrow morning Will H.
Thompson, the defendant's father, will
commence his .argument. The greatest
interest centers in the speech to be made
by Mr. Thompson. He Is known as a
forceful and brilliant speaker and the
peculiar position he occupies In the trial
will lend to the scene a dramatic effect
not found in the ordinary murder case. It
Is said Mr. Thompson will endeavor to
be as impersonal as possible, adressing
the Jury as a lawyer for a client and
not as a father pleading for a son.
Whether in the heat of argument he will
be successful in maintaining the role is
to be doubted.
Apart from the shedding of real tears
at one point in his address and denounc
ing one of the witnesses for the state,
the address of Attorney Morris today
was without features of special Inter
est. The witness for the state who was
the victim chosen by Morris as a target
at which to fling hia sarcastic darts was
Zr. A. J. ftedpath of Olympla, who, the
defense throughout the trial has inti
mated, has been brought into the case
through the efforts of General Vance, an
attorney for the state, who Is also from
Olympla.
Redpath was one of the best alienists
for the defense and gave many answers
damaging to the defense. . Morris re
ferred to the witness as "of that type
of man who has no regard for human
life; a type dangerous to society; dan
gerous to the courts of Justice."
Morris' tears were shed during allusion
to the conduct of the prisoner while at
his mother's bier. The testimony showed
that Chester Thompson gave no sign of
emotion during the funeral. While re
viewing this piece of testimony, the at
torney's voice broke and tears flowed
down his cheeks.
The lawyer brought his address to a
close by referring to the high character
of Will H. Thompson and the unsuccessful
attempts on the part of the state to im
pugn his parental behavior.
"They tried to bring ridicule on him,"
shouted Morris. "They asked him if he
was not a Confederate soldier and they
asked him In il sneering way It he did
not write poetry himself. Tea, he wrote
poetry. He wrote a poem which will
make his name remembered when the
names of my opposing counsel are for
gotten. He wrote a poem which has ele-
vated the American soldier. He wrote
the Immortal poem, 'High Tide at Gettys
burg. "
The crowd today was the largest that
has attended the trial since its opening.
It lined the walls at the rear of the court-
room, packed the entrances and over
flowed into the space, reserved tor the
attorneys and press.
WIDDOWSON TAKES THE STAND
Defendant in Murder Trial Boldly
Denies the Crime.
BAKER CITY, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.
Alexander Widdowson took the stand to
day in his own behalf and declared his
absolute Innocence of the murder of wll
lard Moody, with which he Is charged.
"Nor do I know anything about it.
was the assertion of the accused man.
Widdowson told his story of his doings
the days preceding and following the
crime, reciting the details or his alibi
to establish which many other witnesses
have been called. He declared that -the
fatal Saturday night he had spent in
bed. He denied ever having stated that
be was up all night and flatly contra
dicted the evidence of other -witnesses to
that effect. . '
The defendant bore up well under a
searching cross-examination and at its
close was called upon by two Jurors,
whose questions he answered without
hesitation.
Then he explained his statement when
the body of Moody was found: "I know
what (happened last night," declaring that
what he really said was "this explains
what happened the other night," and
that he meant that he suspected some
body else.
The testimony in the case was com
pleted this afternoon and the argument.

be due to malignant diphtheria, are now
thought to have been caused by eating

which is a close parallel to the mysteri
ous deaths at the McClaJn home, near

Mrs. Daegett died Friday at -her home
In Lebanon, being taken suddenly ill.
Physicians had not determined the cause
of her death when she was brought to

her 7-year-.'i son became ill and died
early Monday morning, showing the same
symptoms. The cause of his death was
at first believed to be diphtheria, and the
home of hla grandmother, where he died,
was carefully fumigated. But Mr. Dag-
gett and two other children showed no
symptoms of the disease at all. nor have
they yet.
