THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1909. ' , HOHE"MEASUBES PUSS OVER VETO House Advances Salaries of Three Incumbents of Clat sop County Offices.' EARS DEAF TO PROTEST Ifonse Goes Back on Resolution Adopted Iiast Week Tliree Mea sures Providing "More" Arc Killed In Senate. STATE CAPITOU Salem. Feb. 10. CSpeclal.) With less than half a dozen votea to the contrary, the House today passed over Governor Chamberlain's veto three "more" salary bills. While the vote on the third bill -was belm? taken, Farrell of Multnomah reminded his associates that the ' House last week adopted a Joint resolution. originating In the Senate, In which It was agreed that no measure providing for an Increase In the salary of any public official dur ing his Incumbency, should be enacted. But this fell on deaf ears and the House continued Its thoroughly established practice of passing bills over the Gov ernor's disapproval. The three bills vetoed by the Governor and passed by the House today all re lated to Clatsop County and were as follows: H. B. U, Latnenwber Qlvln Assessor or Clatsop County power to appoint his own o.-mitl without consent of the County Court. H. B. 50, McCne Increasing salanr of ;ru..nty Treasurer of Clatsop County from fno to $1200. H- B. 49. Mcfae Increasing salary of School Superintendent of Clatsop County from l00 to 300. Before the vote was taken on these bills the authors explained that the In creased salaries requested were entirely reasonable and deserving and should be passed, notwithstanding the veto of the Governor. They were so passed. OlUer Stops "More" Bill. Representative Mahoney, of Morrow and Umatilla Counties, was accused of "butting In" by Senator Oliver. tody, though the Senator expressed his opin ion In terms becoming the dignity of a Senator. The occasion was the third reading of House bill 228. by Mahoney, to raise the salary of the District At torney of the Tenth District from $2100 to J2700. The bill had passed the House and was about to pass the Senate, when Oliver, who Is from Union and Wallowa, which constitutes the Tenth Judicial Dis trict, proceeded to send the bill to the graveyard. He explained that the bill was Introduced by Mahoney, who repre sents a district composed of Umatilla and Morrow, while the District Attornoy whose salary was to be raised serves in Union and Wallowa. He said that he never heard of the bill until It had passed the House: -that, the District Attorney had not asked him to have the salary raised; that the people of the district were petitioning against It. and that he could see no reason why the bill should be passed. Therefore he moved indefi nite postponement. By his .anguage he very plainly Indicated the opinion that when legislation Is needed in the district which he represents the members from that district can look after It. The Sen ators smiled broadly as they unanimously voted for his motion to postpone. Cry of Graft Kills Bill. Declaring that It would be not onlv a bad precedent, but the imposition of a graft to pass House bill 205. Introduced by the Lane County House delegation. Senator Bingham today secured the in definite postponement of that measure. The bill proposes to place the Lano County Commissioners on a salary of JI000 a year. Senator Bingham said that the bill had been introduced without his knowledge, that a similar bill was Introduced at the last session and de feated and that if this should pass there would soon be similar bills for all coun ties. There was not a dissenting vote when the motion to postpone was put. Another Increase Stopped. Representative Purdin's bill to increase the salary of the County Judge of Jack son County from $1200 to $1800 a year fell by the wayside in the Senate this morning because several Senators were out of the room when the bill came up on final passage. It received but 15 votes, with 16 necessary to pass a bill In the upper house. Those absent were Coffey. Cole, Johnson and Merryman. all of whom generally vote for salary bills. The noes were Abraham, Albee, Kay, Kellaher, Miller of Linn, Norton. Oliver, Selling. Sinnot. Smith of Umatilla and Wood. All others voted "aye." the vote being 15 to 11. Had Senator Mullt asked for a call of the House before the vote was announced he could have mustered the needed votes. NEW COMPANY IS FORMED Albany Will Soon Have Another Furniture Factory. A LB ANT. Or., Feb. 10. (Special.) Ne gotiations are nearly complete for the sale of the old furniture factory in this city to Portland and Tacoma manufac turers, who will er'-'ge the plant and put It In active operation at once. The prospective purchasers filed articles of Incorporation here yesterday for the Union Furniture Manufacturing Com pany, under which name the plant will be operated. The incorporators of the new company are A. H. Sandstrom. r. E Sprague and George Sandstrom. Associated with them In the purchase of the plant Is John Pearson. A. H. Sandstrom and Sprague are contractors and builders of Portland, while George Sandstrom and Pearson are practical furniture men of Tacoma. The deal for the purchase of the fac tory has been pending for several days and while the final papers in the trans fer .have not been signed, the deal is practically closed. The old factory has not been operated for several months and the new purchasers have announced an Intention to igin work at once and also to enlarge the plant and do gen era! mill work, besides manufacture fur niture. As the enlarged ant will em ploy about 60 men. the deal means much to the city. , AMENDMENTS KNOCKED OUT ld:iho Supremo Court Finds Flaw in Popular Election. BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 10. (Special.) Both constitutional amendments understood to have been adopted by the electors of Idaho last November, were today knocked out by the Supreme Court. One pro vided for the abolition of probate courts tul the redlstrlcting of the state for Ju dicial purposes. The other authorized the employment of clerical assistance by County Assessors. The court amendment Is held invalid for several reasons, but especially on the ground that the ques tion submitted to the electors involved more than one amendment to the con stitution, each of which should have been voted upon separately. The amend ment providing clerical assistance was found to be In conflict with the court amendment. The opinion says: Where a section of the constitution is amended at the same time by two different amendments and the amendments adopted are dlrectlv in conflict and It Is Impossible to determine which should stand as a part of the constitution, or to reconcile the AmQ, they both must fail. DIRECT PRIMARY BILL- PASSED Idaho House Hurries Measure Up to Senate. BOISH, Idaho, Feb. 10. (Special.) The passage in the House today, without amendment, of the direct primary bill by a vote of 35 to 12. is said to indicate the haste of that body to pass it and all re sponsibility for it up to the Senate. The direct primary plank was defeated at the Republican state convention last Summer, but so many Republican coun ties pledged their legislative delegations to It the Republicans considered them selves bound. Fully 75 per cent of the House mem bers are known personally to oppose such legislation. During toe day certain votes indicated that the combination to pre vent creation of new counties and re moval of state Institutions and to put through appropriations for them as asked, was Impregnable. The previous day evidence of disintegration was mani fested. The bill making gambling a felony re ceived another setback, being put off for another day. COMMITTEE GUTS BUDGET STATE ASYLUM DEMAND PARED DOWX. House and Senate Cnite in Burlesque Session Liquor Row Bobs Up Again at Hearing. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 10. (Special.) Removal of the State Deaf Mute School from its present location, near the State Reform School, Into Salem, . may be recommended by the Joint committee on ways and means of the' two houses. Such a change Is be ing considered by the Joint committees, and If it is decided to do so, an appro priation will be made for the purchase of a small tract of ground and for the construction of a building within walking distance of the depot In Sa lem. The building and grounds now occupied by this institution will be turned over to the asylum. The ways and means committee tonight practically completed an examination of the budget for the state insane asylum. Of over $000,000 asked for maintenance, the committee has approved about JlflO.OOO. For additional buildings and Improve ments about $300,000 was asked, which has been cut down to about $2.10,000. The serious side of legislative routine was cast aside tonight and Senators and Representatives united with the citizens of Salem In the enjoyment of a session of the "third house." which packed the Hall of Representatives to the doors. W. H. Barry, chief clerk of the Senate, presided as Speaker, and Glen O. Holman officiated as Governor. Speaker ilcAr thur, assisted by Representative Farrell, performed the duties of reading clerk, while Senators Albee and -Kelluher were kept on the run as page6. Many a good laugh was provoked during the two hours the extraordinary body was In session. Dr. Clarence True Wilson's name was dragged Into a hearing tonight in a fight over Representative Brady's bill wkiich would amend the local option law to give homo rule to cities of 3uu0 population or over, raise signatures on local option pe titions fro n 10 to 25 per cent, and make the dry or wet period two years in either case. R. A. Marshall, speaking for Dr. Wilson, said the latter never had con sented to home rule In any of his con ferences with the liquor forces, but had acquiesced to the other changes in the bill and also to a plan for precinct option. Rev. W. II. Selleck remarked that Dr. Wilson does r.ot represent the anti-liquor forces, and that the reiorni element would yet make things hot for him. Paul Wesslnger and F. G. Deckebach insisted that the proposed amendments to the local option law were fair. Mayor Canon, of Medford. whose city has home rule under a charter enact ment of the Legislature, said his city Is content and doing well under its system. Southern Oregon tonight won from the Joint ways and means committee a recommendation for $100,000 appro priation for a road from Medford to Crater Lake and Klamath Falls. The bill has been amended by the commit tee to make the appropriation contin gent upon Klamath and Jackson coun ties appropriating $50,000 for the same road and to raise the state's quota in four annual tax installments. Southern Oregon has had a strong lobby In the Capital representing that should the state and county money be spent, a Bimllar sum will be appropriated by the National Government to eiiend the road. The road will be 120 miles long, half of it in Government territory. GAME CODE IS PROPOSED COMMITTEE AGREES OX PRO VISION'S OF XEAV LAW. Sale of Birds and Trout Prohibited.

THEN FAVORS EXCLUSION After Expressing Surprise at Canard From Orient, Legislators Approve Anti-Coolie La bor B11L OLTMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 10. Both House and Senate today disclaimed any intention to adopt legislation requiring Japanese visitors to the Alaska-Pacific-Yukon Exposition to give bond for their return to their native land. Information that the report that the Washington Leg islature had before it such bill was In circulation In Toklo came to Acting Governor M. E. Hay today In a tele gram from the State Department at Washington. In his telegram to Gov ernor Hay, Secretary Bacon says: "It is reported from Tokio that a bill Is to be Introduced in the Washington Leglslautre requiring Japanese attending the A.-Y.-P. Exposition to give bond for their return. I should apprecials aj statement from you regaraing me trutn of this report, and If unfounded it would have a very good effect if it could be broadly denied." The telegram was embodied In separate messages, and created surprise In both houses when submitted, in neither of which had any such measure been Under consideration or thought of, and the question was raised as to Washington even having the power to make such a requirement. In the lower branch of the Legislature a resolution was adopted de claring It the unanimous sentiment of the House that If such a measure were pro posed it would be indefinitely postponed. Senate Denial, Too. The Senate this afternoon adopted a formal resolution, declaring that if such a resolution were Introduced it would receive unanimous disapproval. In both houses suggestions were made that the reply be couched In terms ex pressing friendliness for the Japanese race, but the resolutions as adopted con tain no expressions of sentiment other than that mentioned. Governor Hay sent the following reply to Secretary Bacon this evening: "Your message read in both Senate and House today, and each body has assured me that no bill requiring Japanese at tending the Exposition to give bond for their return has been Introduced, and each body has assured me by unanimous resolutions that should any such bill be offered It would be indefinitely post poned." Exclude Foreign Labor. Bacon's telegrams chanced to be sub mitted to the Housft just prior to the con sideration of a bill prohibiting employ ment of any but American citizens on public works In this state except In case of emergency. In discussing the bill, which does not mention Orientals, it was pointed out that It could only apply to Japanese and Chinese, as the Legislature could not make distinctions against foreign-born persons who had declared their intention of becoming citizens. Japanese and Chinese being denied that, right, would be the only ones excluded. Accusation was made that the bill was merely a ruse and was aimed directly at Japanese and Chinese. Representative Bishop, of Jefferson County, demanded that the supporters of the bill come out In the open. Replying to him, Campbell said If the bill would keep Japanese and Chinese off public works he was heartily in favor of it- While the discussion took within Its range the employment of all foreigners, a distinct Oriental Issue was drawn. A motion to indefinitely postpone the bill was defeated. 27 to 62. and It will not come up for final passage for several days. Edge, of Spokane, a Democrat, is the author of the bill. PASSED MIDST TURMOIL WASHEVGTOX HOUSE FOR LO CAL OPTIOX, 68 TO 3 6. Rules Are Suspended and Under Agreement of Leaders Full Discussion Is Alleged. OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 10. (Special.) Acting under suspension of rules and a call of the House, the McMaster local option bill was advanced to final passage this afternoon and was adopted by the lower branch of the Legislature at the close of a long turmoil by a vote of 68 to 86. The motion to suspend the rules 'cams from the opponents of the bill, who, at conference with the leaders of the stringent local optlonists at naon today, agreed to taking up the bill out of the regular order that the transaction of other legislative business might be facili tated. The agreement was that there should be no attempt to shut off an open discussion on the merits of the bill. The opponents of the measure took full advantage of the latter provision of the understanding and assailed the bill from every viewpoint possible. They continued the discussion for more than two hours and even during roll call a dozen or more took advantage of the opportunity to ex plain their votes, some Indulging at that time In heated arguments on the merits of the bill, after a sufficient number had already voted for it to insure its passage. The feature of the attack on the bill was the speech of Beach, of Mason County, who is recognized as the leader of the op ponents of the measure, but who pro fesses to favor a "reasonable local option bill." He characterized the unpledged mem bers who were supporting the McMas ter bill as devoid of backbone and controlled by a pair of "ecclesiatical vampires." "You who signed that pledge are tied down to a bunch of preachers who never studied economic questions in their lives," he continued. Mr. Beach also quoted statistics to the effect that the liquor traffic had paid in licenses in this state in 1908, $1,651,909. "Who will pay the taxes that must be In creased an equivalent amount if this bill becomes law?" he asked. Beach closed with the assertion that the minority forces were Intact. Shak ing his fist at the majority members, he shouted: "You will find that the minority is still here and If we don't get you this time, as sure as there is a God in heaven, we will get you." Similar in warmth was the speech of Palmer, of King, opposing the bill. He declared that the man who waa responsible for the "reasonable local option plank" in the Republican plat form, was "four sheets in the wind" when it was introduced. "But you'll not get political suppor from the Anti-Saloon League for the record you make here today," he said. "The Anti-Saloon League has no more ropdH fnr a man's record than the man in the moon. In previous sessions I ' supported the anti-gambling bill, the anti-cigarette bill, the antl-nickel-in-the-slot machine bill, the saloon land lords' liability bill and I voted for lo cal option during McBride's administra tion. Yet the Anti-Saloon League did everything it could against me. That's gratitude." Another member in explaining his vote declared that while he was going to bow to the will of the majority and vote "aye" if his one vote would kill the bill, he would vote "no," and, "now Mr. Doty," he said pointing out the superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, who sat in the gallery, "you hear what I hai to say( and you are welcome to do your worst." The speeches in defense of the bill were mild In tone and were few in number. Palmer, who voted for the bill, gave notice that he would move to reconsider, but Jackson, floor leader of the local optionlsts, forestalled this action by Immediately making the mo tion, which was defeated. FIGHT OVER EXTRA JUDGES Washington Senate Passes Bill After Wordy Debate. OLYMPIA, Wash Feb. 10. (Spe cial.) Although several members of the Senate made a determined fight against the Senate bill providing for an increase of two in the Supreme Court membership, the bill passed' the upper branch of the Legislature today by a vote of 32 to 7. Comparisons with size of business transacted by the Supreme Court of Oregon were used In arguments against the bill, Cotterlll pointing out that Oregon had three Supreme Judges to Washington's seven, and that the vo ters recently defeated a constitutional amendment increasing the Oregon membership to five. Presby, of Klicki tat and Skamania, and Graves, of Spokane, both replied to Cotterlll with the assertion that Washington cases In the Supreme Court outnum bered those In Oregon three to one. Graves also called attention to tho Oregon law which has permitted the additional help of two Supreme Court Commissioners. Such an addition is not authorized in Washington. Paulhamus said he had been "bun coed" into voting to Increase the Su perior bench of Pierce County, and thought It time to cease creating Jobs for friends. Falconer, of Snohomish, in a similar strain, said 90 per cent of the bar of his county had recommend ed an additional Judge, but that the county had no more use for another Judge than a dog has for two tails. The proposition of the Oregon Leg islature to hold a Joint committee con ference to discuss the construction of a bridge over the Columbia between Portland and Vancouver has not . met with favor In one committee. EXPECT WATER CODE F1EHT COMMITTEE PUTS BILL- UP TO SEXATE. Eastern Oregon Corporations Be lieved to Be Ready for Stiff Opposition. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 10. (Special.) The Senate committee on irrigation has decided to report Sen ator Miller's bill for an Irrigation code the conservation commission bill In the Senate tomorrow, with amend ments. Because tho committee Is di vided, the bill will be reported with out recommendation, and the fight upon it will be upon the floor of the Senate. The bill repo-ted will be satisfactory to the conser ation commission. F. T. Griffith, atto .ney for the Portland Railway, -Light & Power Company, told the members of the commission that he will not fight it, though it does not entirely meet Ms approval. It is understood that the bill will meet considerable opposition from some of the Eastern Oregon Senators, Parrish and Merriman being counted against it. President Bowerman has received tele grams from some of his constituents in Wheeler County, urging him to oppose the bill, so it Is not at all unlikely that he will be against it. R. G. Smith, of Josephine County, representing power companies on the Rogue River, has been here fighting the bill and It is expected that he will keep up the fight to the end. The strong argument against the bill will be that the Senators from the and portion of the state are united upon the bill, and tnereiore mat n s' paesed. An attempt will be made to In sert so many amendments that it must go back to the committee for further consideration, and thus postpone action until late in the session. Most of the amendments made are merely changes in the language. The most important amendment is the ad dition of a long section which protects vested rights. This section declares that where riparian owners begin an appro priation before this act shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State, such appropriations may be completed, as also may appropriations made by persons not riparian owners. The section also pro vides that the act shall not be con strued to create any riparian rights where they did not heretofore exist. The amended bill has been sent to the printer and will be on the desks of the Senators tomorrow afternoon, when it is expected that it will be made a special order for some day later In the week. The Senate committee on railroads held a hearing today on Kellaher'a bill author izing the Railroad Commission to compel railroad companies to connect with pri vate switches and with other railroads. While no decision was announced. It Is practically certain that the bill will be favorably reported. . i Albee's bill placing street railways un der the control of the Commiesion will very likely be reported adversely, upon the ground that cities should regulate street railways. THEOSOPHISTS LOSE CASE Will of Charles A. White Set Aside After 11 Tears' Fight. SEATTLE. Feb. 10. After 11 years of litigation. Judge C. H. Hanford decided this morning that the will .of Charles A. Whilte, theosophist, who died in Se attle in 1S98, leaving his entire estate of $50,000 to the Theosophical. Society of Madras, India, for the purpose of paying the cost of translating into English the heiratic and other sacred writings of the East, is null and void. Judge Han ford holds that the bequest is vague and indefinite as it does not sufficiently de scribe the trustees, wno resiae at aajay, India. The suit to set aside was filed by Sofia Mavlla Korstrum. a sister of White, against Thomas Barnes and Henry W. Stein, leading Seattle theosophists, who were named as executors of the estate. White's original - name was Korstrum, but he had it changed 15 years ago. ' " 1 II display.
