Fifty of the Republican Representa tives participated in the House caucus, which was held In the Capitol build Ins; at 11 o'clock this morning, and nominated McArthur. of Multnomah Clackamas, by acclamation.

The other absentee was iarrell, of Multnomah, who had been excused by reason of the death of h'.s father, Hon Sylvester Farrell. At Portland. The caucus was assembled promptly at 11 o'clock by McCue of Clackamas, temporary speaker, and Campbell of Clackamas, was made chairman of the tntetlng. Eaton, McKlnney and Jaeger were appointed a committee to request the attendance ot Jones of Douglas, who reached the caucus hall later, and I.lbby of Marion, and at the same time to invite m:nbers of the press to the meeting. This motion was adopted by the caucus, having been made by Mc Arthur. Campboll was seleced chair man on motion of Conyers of Columbia, while the motion of McCue of Clatsop prevailed that Mahouo of Multnomah should be secretary. McKlnney of Baker placed McArthur In nomination. He said that It was the duty of the members ot the House to proceed to a Republican organiza tion of fliat body. He pointed out that Oregon was a state of wide and diver sified Interests and that McArthur, as a native son of the state, was acquaint ed with those Interests and the needs of the state. Mention was made of Mc Arhur's management of tha recent Presidential campaign In this state as secretary of the Republican state cen tral committee, an accomplishment, said McKlnney. that fully demonstrat ed McArthur's political efficiency. McArthur's nomination was warmly seconded by Abbott of Multnomah, and Conyers of Columbia. The latter was a member of the Oregon Legislature in 1860. and assisted to elect United States Senator Nesmlth, of whom McArthur is a grandson-. Jones of Polk, on behalf of the Statement members In the caucus, pre sented the name of Patton of Marion, which was seconded by Jaeger of Mult nomah. Before a vote could be taken. Patton withdrew his name and, on motion, the nomination of McArthur was made by acclamation. In accepting the nomination. McAr thur modestly said that other members of the House probably were better qualified for the ofOce. but. In addition to thanking his supporters, assured the members of the caucus that it would be his purpose to preside with dignity, bonor and fairness. He referred to the pledge be filed In announcing his can . dldacy for membership in the Legisla ture. In which he declared that he would not take -dictation from any man or set of men. and said that he was equally independent now when elected. The candidate for Speaker Invited the eo-operatlon of all of the members of the House for a strictly business ses sion of that organization In the interest f the state and Its needs. Nominations for some of the desk positions were c'osely contested. This was particularly true of reading clerk, for which there were four applicants, requiring two ballots to determine the winner. By agreement the four men were considered candidates for the job without tha formality of any nomina PROGRMM IIS tions being made. The first ballot re sulted: Trill, of Multnomah. 8: Hol man. of Polk. 14; Stringer, of Marion. 11; Wlthycombe. of Benton, 14. Before the second ballot was taken. Stringer and Trill dropped out. Wlthycombe was then nominated by a vote of 30 to 18. On motion of McArthur, the caucus recommended to the committee on clerks that some provision be made for Holman. since, with the amount of work required of the reading clerk, there Is urgent need for an assistant.

TO OBSERVE ANNIVERSARIES Resolutions for Lincoln's Birthday and Oregon Scml-Centennial. SALEM, Or., Jan. 11. (Special.) Reso lutions were Introduced In both houses this afternoon culling for a participation by the members of the Legislature In the proper observation of Lincoln's birthday. February 12. and the 50th anni versary of the admlssison of Oregon to the Union, on February IS. Jaeger, of Multnomah, in his House resolution relating to Lincoln's birthday provides for the appointment of a Joint committee consisting of three from the House and two from the Senate, which shall prepare a programme of suitable ezerclses for commemorating this anni versary. The resolution also proposes that the day shall be a legal holiday. The Senate resolution was by Senator Cole, of Umatills. Speaker McArthur submitted the reso lution proposing an observance of the state's Both birthday on February 15. The resolution calls for the appointment of a Joint committee of five members with In structions to prepare a programme of ex ercises to be held at the Capitol building at 10 A. M. on that anniversary. Mem bers of the Oregon Historical Society and the citizens of the state generally will be Invited. GOVERNOR ' FACES FIGHT (Continued From First Page.) before we give him a show of being elected Senator." Senator Bingham, of Lane, is one of the leaders of this movement. It is under stood that Senators Nottingham. Schol fleld, Barrett. Kay and Johneon, all State ment Senators, are considering the idea. Tonight a conference on the subject was held In one of the committee-rooms of the Senate, at which most of the 23 Republi can members of the Senate who took the leading part In the organization of that fcody were present. Issue Not Yet Dead. It can safely be said that defeat of Chamberlain Is not a dead issue, but how active ltmaj become is yet to be deter mined. A story to the effect that a man named Morris Berne tetn. of Portland, was In the capital today, boasting of a sack to de feat Chamberlain, and saying that he was a "go-between." has no basis In fact. None of the members of the Legislature knows of any of Bernstein's doings be yond that be was a candidate for a clerk ship and waa not regarded as fit ma terial. On the electric car from Portland today he Is said to have signed the name cf Governor Chamberlain on a receipt for J2.S0 as an alleged fee for a notary's com mission. Falling In with some Ignorant Italians on the car, he represented him self as private secretary to Governor Chamberlain, authorized to take fees for issuing commissions for notary public. This was the story of Bernstein's opera tions as conveyed to Governor Chamber lain. Bernstein has since disappeared. Sara money at Rosenthal's shoe sale. KAY OPENS FIRST SCRAP IN SENATE Opposes Motions for Various Investigation Committees and Junket Trips. SELLING BACKS HIM UP Motion Carries by One Vote to Re fer All Such Resolutions to Special Committee House Will Select It Clerks. SALEM, Or., Jan. 1L (Special.) Crea tion of Joint investigation -committees furnished material for the usual first "scrap" In both houses. Appointment of these committees Is an old custom, their function being to investigate departments and Institutions of the same government, and to report their findings before the close of the session. These committees furnish berths for clerks and Junketing trips for members. The usual crop of motions for appointment of these com mutes sprang up In each House and were referred to the respective committees on resolutions. In the. Senate. Kay, of Marion, will probably be chairman of the resolution committee. In the House, Campbell, of Clackamas, was appointed chairman To day. Kay is opposed to the Investigating committees. There was a sharp debate In the upper chamber but none in the House. The motions for the committees were presented In the Senate by Bingham, Hart, Beach, Bailey and Chase. The clerkship issue was sprung Indirect ly this afternoon when Senator Kay of fered a resolution for the appointment of a committee on resolutions to which nil resolutions must be referred before action Is taken thereon. This was op posed by Senator Beach who said that he has a resolution of his own to Intro duce and did not want it held up in definitely by a committee. Kay explained that numerous resolutions will be intro duced for" a multitude of purposes and that in order that the Senate may act advisedly the resolutions should be passed upon by a committee. The resolution was adopted by a majority of one vote. If custom prevails, Kay will be chairman of the committee. Later the fight was renewed when Senator Hart, of Baker, Introduced a resolution for the appointment of a Joint committee to Investigate the State Blind School. Kay objected to the resolution and asked that It be referred to the spe cial committee. Kay asserted that this is one of numerous resolutions that will be introduced for the investigation of state institutions and offices authorizing the employment of a large number of useless and incompetent clerks who will do little or no work.' Senators Hart and Beach insisted that since the state is spending millions of dollars on state in stitutions the Legislature should investi gate the manner in which the money is spent. The same attitude was taken by Senator Smith, of Marion, and Bing ham, of Lane. Belling and Nottingham Joined in the opposition to that plan of investigating institutions and agreed that If an Investigation is to be had, compe tent persons should be employed to ex pert the books as any business man would have his books experted. Senator Hart finally consented that his resolution go to the committee. Then Senator Mullt moved tha reconsideration of the vote by which the Senate earlier adopted Bing ham's resolution for the investigation of the State Treasury. This motion pre vailed and this and all other resolutions of the same nature went to the com mittee. The usual small army of applicants for clerkships thronged the House and Sen ate chambers eagerly awaiting the deci sion of the committees that were named to apportion these subordinate plums. Under the apportionment scheme follow ed last session and adopted for this ses sion, the House gets 11 stenographers, four chief clerks, live expert typewriters and 18 common clerks. The not desired task of making a satisfactory selection from among the many charming candi dates was assigned to a oommittee of 29 members, consisting of one Representa tive from each of the Representative dis tricts. The members of the committee were: Hughes, of Marlon; Munkers, of Linn; Eaton, of Lane; Applegate, of Douglas; Bedillion. of Coos; Muncy, of Coos, and Currv; Smith, of Josephine; Purdin, of Jackson: Buchanan, of Douglas; Bone brake, of Benton; Hawley. of Polk; Jones, of Polk: Bones, of Yamhill; Heals, of Tillamook; Hines. of Washlngn; Camp bell aad Jones, of Clackamas; Mahone, of Multnomah; McCue, of Clatsop; Con yers. of Columbia; Belknap, of Crook; Mahoney. of Morrow; Mann, of Umatilla; Rusk, of Wallowa: McKlnney, of Baker; Richardson, of Union; Brookes, of Mal heur; Mariner, of Gilliam; and Carter, of Hood River. FLOOR PRIVILEGES REDCCED Only Former State Officials AVill Be Given Scats in Senate. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) Senator Beach, of Multnomah County, today secured the adoption of an amendment to the Senate rules which will restrict the exercise of the privilege of extending the courtesies of the Senate to outsiders. Heretofore it. has been the practice to extend the courtesies of the Senate to any person upon motion of a Senator. Senator Beach wanted the rules amended by limiting this favor to state officers and former state officers. He point ed out that this would permtt the exv tension of courtesies to former mem bers of the Legislature. He explained that in the past many persons secured the privileges of the floor and then abused the favor by lobbying. Senator M. A. Miller opposed the limitation, saying that the Senate is not such an exclusive body as to re quire such a restriction." DAILtY PAPERS FOR MEMBERS Five Copies or Own Selection to Be Supplied Each Representative. SALEM, Or., Jan. 11. (Special.) Intro duction of a resolution In the House, by Couch, of Multnomah, this afternoon, providing that each member of the House shall be furnished with five daily papers of his own selection, at the expense of the state, created some discussion, but was finally ordered. Twelve members opposed the adoption of this resolution. They were: Brandon, Hughes, Jackson, Ldbhy, Mahoney, Munkers, Orton, Patton, Philpott, Purdin, Rusk and Mr. Speaker. In the Senate a similar resolution was referred. The vote In the House by which the resolution was auopted under suspension of the rules had hardly been announced when another resolution by Munkers, of Linn, was presented. Insisting that the reckless expenditure of state money for A RUJN ON SHOES At this store, because of the low prices we are making, and this sloppy weather, which must be guarded . against. Tor this week we offer you choice of 523 pairs Men's high-grade shoes, values up to $5.00, at the low price of $2.65 NOTICE Just re ceived a special ship ment of Boys' Skating Shoes. CLOTHIERS 166-170 Third Street. newspapers, stamps and other supplies be restricted to the minimum. Mr. Munk ers, urged the favorable consideration of Jthfl" resolution at the time, but a motion "to refer It to the committee on resolu tions prevailed by a vote of a to 8. Later In the afternoon. Mr. Munkers apparently entered Into the spirit of the game and offered another resolution call ing for the appointment of a Joint com mittee to investigate the books and man agement of the State Penitentiary, "with authority to employ all necessary cleri cal aid." This resolution went to the resolutions committee. LEE'S PLAN TOW EFFORT TO OBTAEV NICE PER QUISITE OF NO AVAIL. R. R. Butler Is Chosen to Carry Presidential Vote to Washington - and He Will Reap Profit. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) A hard turn down was the fate today pf J. D. Lee, of Multnomah County, Presidential Elector, who wanted to share the perquisites of the messenger that carries Oregon's four Presidential votes to Washington. By Lee's plan each of the Electors would have re ceived a little plum of about $100 as his share of the messenger's 25 cents a mile fee for the trip to Washington. Elector R. R. Butler, of Gilliam County, was chosen to carry the vote. His mileage will amount to nearly $900. " If ho shall be economical there will be a residue for him, over ex penses, of $500 or $600. This sum Mr. Lee wanted divided between the four Electors, share and share alike. He was supported by Elector A. C. Marsters, of Douglas, but Elector F. .J. Miller, of Linn, and Butler opposed, and finally Lee's plan was abandoned. When the Electors met it was the opinion of Marsters that the session should be private. The reason' for secrecy was a mystery to the news paper men, but they marched in and Marsters neglected to Insist that they be ejected. The subject then broached by Lee showed the reason for the desire of "executive session." Leo and Marsters were candidates for messenger. Leo stated that it had been customary . for the four Electors to share the perquisites with each other, and if he were the messenger he would gladly continue the custom. Miller stood against the scheme, how ever, and it fell through. For many ballots the vote for Lee and Butler was a tie, and finally Marsters went over to Butler, and perquisites became n closed incident. Butler was chairman of the session and the Oregon vote for Taft was cast In the usual form. Visitors Seen In Capitol. SALEM, Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.)
