SOLDHSIUUKESUBE OF THEIR PAYDAY Washington Representatives Appropriate Expense Fund First of All. OBJECT TO LUMBER TARIFF Allege Changed Duty Would Huln Main Business of State and En tire Northwest Appropriate $85,000 in 40 Minutes. OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. 11. (Special.) For the first day of the session an un usual amount of business was transacted by the Washington Legislature today, in cluding the passage of an appropriation Mil providing for the expenditure of dlO or as much thereof as may be neces sary for the expenses of the session, and the adoption of a resolution p'otestlng against the removal of the lumber duty. This Is the earliest action ever taken by the Washington Legislature in the matter of providing for Its own expenses, and Is the largest initial appropriation ever passed for that purpose. The bill required live minutes to pasa the Senate, was immediately transmitted to the House and had passed that body within 40 minutes after Its appearance in the Senate. The lumber resolution recites that the lumbering industry is the leading one In Washington, employing 100.000 men to whom are paid annually 175.000,000 and has for many years been the mainstay of the Pacific Northwest. Fear of the trans fer of the lumbering Industry to Can ada Is expressed, and an effect on wages and general business similar to the "hit ter experience under the free trade Wil son bill a decade ago," lS' predicted If the duty removed. The resolution is directed to the committee on ways and means. In the Senate. Ootterlll (Dem.). of King County, and Rosenhaupt (Rep.), spoke against the resolution and there were three dissenting votes. Todd (Dem.). Young (Rep.), and Buck (Rep.) voted against it In the House; Hanson (Rep.) declining to vote. The caucus programme was carried out smoothly In both houses. Leonard O. Meigs Is Speaker of the House, and4A. S. Ruth President pro tern of the Senate. Heretofore on the first day the Legisla ture has contented Itself with organizing and perhaps adopting a few routine con current resolutions. Today three bills were introduced In the Senate. No. 2 was by Booth. Increasing the number of Superior Judges In King County from six to seven, and was made a special or der for Wednesday. Bill No. S provided for an additional Superior Judge lit Pierce County, making four In all, and was made a special order for January 19. The Senate also passed a Joint memor ial asking for the relinquishment of two sections of San Juan County, now in a military reserve, for use by the State University as a biological station. In addition the House passed a con current resolution endorsing an appro- i priatlon by Congress of $1,000,000 for the construction of roads In Alaska. CHARGE FILIBUSTER ATTEMPT Mysterious "Patronage Clique" Said to Be Formed to Block Moves. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 11. (Special.) The charge of attempting to organize a force in the Senate sufficient to prevent the enactment of progressive legislation, such as the local option and race track gambling law, is laid at the door of some members of the senate who, yes terday, got 25 of the Senators together, ostensibly for a conference on Senate patronage, preliminary to last night's caucus. The ground for the charge that the real purpose of the conference was to or ganize for the purpose of controlling leg islation is based principally on the con spicuous absence from the conference of W. H. Paulhamus. Senator Ralph Met- calf, Senator John D. Bassett, Senator J. A. Falconer and others, who are strong advocates of the local option bill. The story has been carried to Lieutenant-Governor Hay that an attempt has been made to organize the Senate against him in a manner similar to that carried through by the Insurgents two years ago against Lieutenant-Governor Coon. The fact, however, that some of Hay's closest friends in the Senate were In strumental in getting the conference, among them being Senator Ruth and Senator Robert Booth, of Seattle, indi cates that the movement is not directed against him. The leaders in the conference deny strenuously that it had any other pur pose than to confer on patronage. Paul hamus and Metcalf. who were insurgents last year, were not invited to the con ference because, it Is claimed, some of the Senators thought they had been un duly active In behalf of J. W. Slayden's candidacy for Speaker, and that they had tried to get control of both, houses. The progressives in the Senate, who are very suspicious of the purposes of the conference, say the reactionaries can not hold together more than 15 members. These are Huxtable. Smlthson, Cameron, Eastham, Ruth, Roberts. Rydstrom, Fat land, Knickerbocker, Williams, Allen, Piper. Booth, Smith and Cllne. Among others who are known to have attended the conference were Anderson, Hutchin son, Whitney, Stephenson, Cox, Presby, Stewart, Blair and Potts.' The progressives promise to force an early. test this week to determine tha nature of the alignment. MEIGS SPEAKER OF HOUSE Washington Legislature Organizes According to Programme OLYMPIA.

PORT TOWNSEND, "Wash., Jan. 11. An earthquake shock of sufficient sever ity to caus8 considerable damage was felt here at 3.50 this afternoon, lasting from ten to 15 seconds. The trembling took the form of a vibratory convulsion. swaying buildings and breaking many windows and fragile roofs. Reports from nearby localities by tele phone state that the force of the shock extended over an area of country at least 50 miles square, and in several districts two distinct shocks, separated by more. than a minute, were felt. A general shaking up of the premises occurred In many parts or .fori lown send where water pipes had been frozen in the prevailing spell of cold weatner. The force of the earthquake shock burst the mains flooding the houses before stoppage of the intake could be effected.

BELLINGHAM. Wash., Jan. 11.

Buildings and residences were immed iately emptied and their occupants poured out Into the street, some of them in ludicrous undress, and ran up and down, distractedly. Reports from all parts of Northwestern Washington report a shock at the same time, and of about the same intensity. At Blaine, Wash., several buildings were slightly damaged, otherwise the damage is negligible In this territory. The, fact that this is the first shock felt here for many years and the most severe ever experienced explains the un reasoning panic which seems to have accompanied the temblor In all the towns in the vicinity.

A distinct earthquake was felt in this city about three minutes after four this afternoon. Dr. D. A.

Committee announcements were made I in both houses of the Legislature this morning, adjournment then being taken until tomorrow, when in accordance with a Joint resolution, preliminary vote for United States Senator will be taken in the separate houses. It is no-v apparent that the entire Republican representa tion In both houses will vote for the re election of Senator Heyburn. In the Senate there are 11 Democrats who will vote for Judge Stockslager, the conven tion nominee for Senator. In the House it is understood that among the Demo crats there are one or two members who have expressed a desire to vote for Judge W. W. Woods, of Wallace. The Legisla ture Is to meet on Wednesday In Joint session and ballot on Senator. The announcement of committees was considerable of a disappointment to many parties. So far as can be learned to night. Speaker Clagstone fulfilled all his promises in the way of committee as signments, although great pressure has been brought ' to bear during the past week to secure changes. Following are Important chairmanships: Senate State affairs, Hart; finance. Goodnight; . Judiciary, Sweeney; educa tion, Whitaker; public lands, Hasbrouck; corporations, Hunt. House Appropriations, McCracken; county boundaries, Thompson; education, Kerl; private corporations. Patch; Judi ciary, McCutcheon: railroads, McBratney; public lands, Morbeck; state affairs, Jones; ways and: means, Anderson. Assignment of Anderson to the chair manship of the last-named committee es tablishes him as majority leader In the lower house. May .Block Railroad Legislation. Friends of proposed legislation for rail road or public utility commission express some dissatisfaction with the chairman ship of the corporations and state affairs committees in the Senate and of the rail road and state affairs committees In the House. Both Senators Hart and Hunt are understood to be In opposition to regu lative legislation, while the chairmen of similar committees In the House are be lieved to be men of Inferior force. An effort was made today to bring about a permanent caucus arrangement among the Republican members in the House. This had been attempted prior to the meeting of the Legislature, but had failed. Today's effort met the same fate. It was finally decided that a Republican caucus might be called by securing the signatures of 23 Republican members, but that organization would have to be per fected at each meeting, and that actio of the caucus should not be binding on the members attending, the caucus being of purely advisory character. At today's meeting it was finally decid ed not to have a steering committee. Chnrch Observes Anniversary. CENTRA LIA, Wash., Jan. 11. (Spe cial.)
