Sharp Debate Between Falconer and Megler, In Which "Daddy" of House Is Badly Worsted. ' OLTMPIA. Wah.. March 1. (Special.) In the Senate today' Davis of Pierce procured indefinite postponement of - hie bills repealing the Sunday closing law, which have stirred up church people all over the state to protest, and Piper of King was defeated in his effort to post jxme indefinitely the Senate amendments to the House direct primary bill, which Piper claimed are proposed only to pro voke a onfliet between the House and the Senate, and to defeat the passage of a primary bill this session. Four new bills were offered in the Seri ate today, 16 were passed and three were defeated, cleaning up the calendar so that about 4 o'clock the Senate took the rustomary adjournment until Monday rooming. , The House began work at the beginning of the morning and held morning, after noon and evening sessions, enlivened dur. Ing the afternoon by an interestlg verbal duel between Speaker Falconer of Sno homish and rx-Speaker Megler of Wah kiakum, in which the. present Speaker won a notable victory over the "Daddy' of the House. Bills Vp to 'the Governor. Under th constitution, Monday will be the last day in which bills may be in troduced this Legislature. Of the four new ones today, one was by Senator Stevenson, authorizing the deaf and dumb language to be taught. In high schools, and one by Presby. providing the method of prosecution- for malfeasance in office. Ten of the bills passed by the Senate today were measures which liad pre viously passed the House, and will there, fore go to. the Governor as soon as amendments are concurred in. The more important of these are the following: Providing that the assessment. of tele graph, telephone and electric companies shall lie msdw by the State Tax Commis sion instead of the County Assessors: pro viding that timber bought separately from the land shall be taxed as personal property: prohibiting employment of boys k messengers: punishing fsmily desertion and non-support; increasing the military state" tax levy one-tenth to on-nt'th mill: and providing that hereafter no plat of property shall be approved unless at least one-tenth of the area shall be ded icated for park purposes, and also the bill creating four new Superior Court dis tricts to be tilled immediately by ap ixintment of the Governor and later by 'election. The Senate defeated, on vote, the bill t provide, a collegiate course for tho Bcliingham Normal School, and indefi nitely postponed a Senate bill to extend the term of Supreme Court Judges from elx to ten years. Liberal Knm for State Koads. All of the 11 bins passed by the House today were House measures. Three of these were road committee bills, providing respectively an appropriation of $225,000 to construct urate roads, for the survey by .the State Highway Commissioner of five proposed state roads, including that from Woodland. Cowllta County, to the mouth f the Biz Muddy in Skamania County, imd providing for state aid from tlve high jway fund of county roads generally throughout the state under certain conditions. Another bill passed by the House ap propriates $30.00) for the construction of a JStata Reformatory for youthful and flrst irm convicts; another reouires license of (pilots for boats navigating Pugot Sound: another makes the close season for razor clams Juno 1 to September 1: another makes the Insurance Commissioner's an lectlve office after 1S0S. and another re peals the old law prohibiting the entic ing of sailors from ships. .This latter is one of the old statutes, and its repeal was urged on behalf of the Sailors' Union, who at the time of the recent strike of coast seamen found the Jaw prohibited them from visiting ships to induce the sailors to strike. Jones in troduced a similar bill in the Senate, which the Senate defeated. This bill was introduced in ijie House ty Anrams and :wlll probably be killed when It reaches th Senate. J'alroner Worst Megler in Debate. The Megler-Falconer debate ca.me up over the proposition to Include gasoline 'ill the petroleum products inspected by the Stae CHI Inspector. Megler contended that the sole effect of the oil inspection bill has fceen to levy a tax of half a cent a- gallon on the people of this state for oil. over the price paid in adjoining states, and that this is solely to furnish com 'fartable jobs for offlce-holders. He par ticularly opposed an inspection of gasoline 'becausa It would increase the price to consumers. Falconer declared that when the' inspec tion bill went into effect two years ago the Standard Oil had a monopoly of the business in the state and furnished poor qualities of oil at -prices of about 17 cents. Now there are seven independent firms wiling oil in Washington, the quality has improved and the price has dropped to about U'i cents. He tointed out that un scrupulous dealers substitute the cheaper benzine for gasoline and. the results are explosions and accidents, sometimes with fatal reults. Mcgler's amendment to cut Kssollne out of the bill failed, and the Vill wus passed with a biz malority. In the Senate this morniTig Piper offered a joint resolution, which curried, at'klng l orgross to arrange for exhibits from Government departments, Smithsonian In stitution, National Museum, and to aid exhibits from Alaska. Hawaii and the Philippines for the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Kxpositlon. After this resolution had also passed the House it was wired to Congress. MKAO MARKS APPOIXTMEXTS Henry A.

Bradley. BOISR. Idaho,-" March 1. (Spe cial. 1 One of the most active and inlluentinl members of tho Idaho Legislature is Lawson G. Bradley, Representative from Nez J'eroe.i t'ounly. Bradley Is a native or Jackson ' County, Oregon, where he was born May o. 1879. and Is a graduate of the University or Ore gon. He was at one time a news paper fL-porter In Portland and after wards edited a paper at Grange viile, Idaho. He is at present man aging the Evening Teller at Lew lston.

He is chair man of the committee on ways and means and is a member of several other important committees. salaries and running expenses of county government?. The summaries of ex penses which have been received at the office of the Secretary of State from the .several counties show that the cost of all the county governments increased about $200,000 in the past two years. The Legislature at its recent session raised the salaries of many county officers, so that next 3ear the increase will probably represent about $300,000 for two years. Reports have thus far been received from every county except Tillamook, and the total shows an increase of $190,113.72. as compared with two years ago. The latest reports are for expenditures for the year 1906. and the figures by counties for that year and 1904 are as follows: W0S. 19CX.

ADAMS CASE TO J RY mm Attorney Knight, Who Begins Argument for State, Forced to Quit Because of Illness. DATE OF CRIME NOT. VITAL Set Forth .That "On or About August 10 Covers Wide Latitude Did -Adams Kill Tjlcr Point for Jury to Determine. SPOKAXE. March 1. A Wallace, Idaho, special to the Spokesman-Review says: It is probable that the Adams case will go the jury Monday,' arguments to the jury being: made today and tomorrow. On resumption of court - at 2 o'clock, Henry P. Knight began his address, but had only spoken 10 minutes when he was taken sick and court adjourned, first for one hour and later for the day. During the time he spoke. Knight said: Genllemen of the jury, it has been stated tha-t the defendant Im a member of the Western Federation, but it is hot for you to deliberate to what class the man charged with murder belongs, or what his connec tions are. It is your sole duty zo decide whether or not he fired the bullet that killed Fred Tyler. To a certain extent this cbb will depend on the Identification of the remains found in the Marble-Creek district. and with re gard to. this part I do not think there will be any question in your mind. We have introduced as. witnesses the mother of the murdered man and his friends, and it would seem that the identity has been, proved be yond all question of doubt. The defense has reeled the case on- an alibi and so far as that goes, it Is good. We have no objection to the defense of alibi, but you will note that on the infor fation the defendant is charged with mur der on or about the 10th of August, 1944. but this does not mean to imply that the murder was committed exactly on that date or a few days before or a. few days after, it does not mean- to imply that the murder was committed even during the month of August, it is only necessary for you to find whether or not the defendant killed Fred Tyler prior to 190G. You have the whole field before 190fi in front of you. . We. believe that -evidence introduced by the defense has only helped to confirm the case of the state, and we are satisfied that Tyier- was killed during the month of Au gust. He was-killed at -a place where dates cannot well be remembered; in fact, where it was almost impossible to find dates Un less they are fixed by some event, of un usual importance. The cae on the part of the state rests on the testimony of Archie Phillips, Mrs. Phillips, Chandler, and othr minor witnesses, and it is to be noted that the confession of defendant from the begin ning to the end fixes only one date, tho date of July 4. l?n4. It is evident that Adams had ben afraid of specific dates and has steered clear of them at all times. First, as to what wlt neosffs Mrs. and Mr. Phillips say in regard to clothing worn by the deceased. Tou will remember that they detailed particularly what kind of handkerchiefs, what kind" of clothing and other matters about his dress and appearance, which correspond exactly with the evidence of relatives and friends of Fred Tyler. You will remember that tho testimony of Williams identified a number of items found at that particular place. The dates were not fixed. At this point Judge Woods made an nouncement that owing, to the indisposi tion of Mr. Knight, court would adjourn. At 3:35 court met agrain and Knight not having: recovered, adjournment was made tintil tomorrow. ' ' ECZEMA COVERED IS 11 YEARS HAND ADAMS' ALIBI WILL STAND. Motion to Reopen Case Overruled. Sliin Chance for l'risoner. WALLACE. Idaho. March 1. The sharpest fight that has yet occurred in the loner trial of Steve Adarns for the murder of Fred Tyler ended this morn ing: in a notable victory for. the defense, when Judre Wood announced that he would overrule the petition, of the state for permission to recall Mrs. Arthur Phillips and reopen the case for the pros ecution. The testimony to be given by Mrs. Phillips was regarded vital for the case of the state. It having been dis covered that the date on which she heard the shots that are alleged to have killed Tyler was Sunday. August 7. not Wednesday. August 10, as assumed all along by the state. ' The defense, it Is conceded, has been able to establish a strong alibi for Adams on Wednesday, August 10, but has left unguarded the morning: of Au gust 7, on which date Mrs. Phillips now claims the shooting occurred. The state's new theory Is that it would have been easy for Adams, after the shooting early in the morning, to travel to Mason's cabin in time to take part In the birthday dinner at which his pres ence is so well attested. All this new evidence the defense is now able to ex clude. While it is believed here that this start ling change in the aspect of the trial ren ders Adams' conviction of the murder of Tyler decidedly Improbable, it is not be lieved he haj any chance of regaining his liberty at the present time. He is badly wanted by the state as one of its most Important witnesses in the approaching trial of Moyr. Heywood and Pcttibone, officers of the Western Federation of Miners, for the assassination of ex-Governor Steuncnberp:. At least three courses are open to the state: It can hold Adams for trial for the murder cf Settler Boule, which crime he confessed, to Detective McParland; can hold him for complicity in tho Steunenberg murder, also mentioned i his confession, or may send him to Colorado, to be tried for taking part in blowinir up the depot at Independ ence, where several nonunion miners were killed. The principal witnesses for the state in rebuttal this morning: were W. B. Chandler and Miss Mamie Sherrer, of Spokane, who testified to having met Jack Simpkins in the St. Joe country, Ausust 24, 1904. Chandler identified a photograph of Simpkins and gave a description of the appearance of the man. It is believed the last witness will be dismissed today and arguments will start not later than Saturday morning. The case will probably go to the jury next Tuesday or Wednesday. Stenographer Hubener. who took Adams' confession, and Warden Whitney, of the penitentiary, were called by the state and testified that Adams said. "I do not want my wife to ' suffer for my crime." The last witness for the state in rebut tal was George H. Root, of Wallace. He testified to meeting Simpkins and Adams at a meeting of settlers in the Marble Creek country about August 1, 1904. when the matter of claim-dumping was dis cussed. The defense announced that it had no further witnesses.

PENDLETON. Or.. March 1. (Special.) Officers of the Umatilla County Sunday School Association were chosen yesterday as follows: President. Professor Frank K. "Welles, County School Superintendent; vlce-presi- Rcgcnts Will Meet to Discuss Plans for Raising Finances Faculty and Citizens Loyal. MONMOUTH. Or., March 1. (To the Editor.) The action of the Governor in placing his veto on the bill appropriat ing money to meet the expenses of the State Normal at Monmouth occasioned a grreat deal of comment throughout the country. In view of tho Governor's po sition that it was the duty of the Legis lature to determine the question. . specu lation is rife as to the real reason why he did not allow its decision to stand, subject to the approval by the people. Friends of the Governor all over the state will wonder why he chose to over rule the Legislature in the case of Mon mouth, whose 25 years' faithful and hon orable record Is seen in the thousands of graduates and ex-students, now as actively and prominently engaged in teaching in every section of the state. A meeting of the regents has been called and plans are being made to finance the school, so that while it will inconvenience the work, no serious results will follow. The. entire faculty has agreed to go ahead, and students and citizens are en thusiastically loyal. The Governor's veto cannot affect the status of the institution, since the law creating; the school is in no way affected. The action' of the peo ple last June, and of the Legislature just adjourned, in fact, has strengthened its position. It is fair to say that the friends of Monmouth at the session of the Legis lature were in no way a party to the Drain rider, in fact, neither they nor the Representatives knew . nothing of it until it was sprung and at such a very late hour that no time was left to fight it. It has been the policy of the Mon mouth Normal to stand on its merits and its records, and to have such a rider attached was extremely repugnant to the friends of the bill. President Ressler and Senator Lough ary both expressed their entire disap proval of the measure, and it was by the action only of those who sought to for ward the interest of Drain that the rider was added. There is strong and pronounced sentiment in the county that the measure was treated very unfairly, and we understand that definite action has been taken to invoke the referendum on the other schools, thus placing them on an equal footing and referring 'the set tlement of the whole normal school matter to the direct vote of the peo ple. Monmouth has always been willing to submit to the will of the people, but most strongly objects to being set aide without a full and fair hearing. J. B. V. BUTLER. Willamette Girl Orators Win. SALEM.

Personal knowledge is the wirininR factor in the culminating contests of this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front ranks of The Well Informed of the World. A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the highest excellence in any field of human effort. A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of v n. v c ii j v Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are mad ' This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxabve. As its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well lmormed or the world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive or the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing the full name of the Company California rig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package, , , n r r r whether you call tor oyrup or rigs by the full name oyrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna. a if if f i PiAsfiir.
