STATU CAPITOL, Salem. Feb, 11 Special.) With a rush as invincible as that of a star football team, the normal school combination in the House today passed separate bills appropriating 1106.- each for the three schools at Ashland. Weston and Monmouth, for the biennial I?rlod ending December 31, 1910. Little 'Ppos!tlon developed to the bill providing fr the Monmouth School, and it passed by a vote of 60 to 9. Opponents' of more than one institution Joined the anti-normal school members and voted against the We m on School appropriation bill, but It passed by a vote of to 17. three ab sent. A determined fight against the Ashland School Mil was conducted by Campbell and Dimick. of Clackamas, but the friends of the three-diool programme w ere too many and this bill also passed v.iih 37 votes in its favor and 22 against, it. Separate Bills lie ported. Earlv in the day the ways and means committee, complying with the instruc tions of the House, reported separate ap propriation bills for each of the three schools. They were made a special or 5er for 3 P. M. on motion of McCue. who opened the discussion with a strong ap peal for state support of his alma mater Monmouth. This was the first bill to c.-ime up. MeKinney. Jones (Lincoln and Polk). Miller and Mahone supported the Mil with short addressee. No opposition to the measure appeared until during rollcall, Farrell explained that he would vote against it, for the reason that there were only 441 pupils at the three normal schools, according to a report dated last Iwember, so that the proposed appro priations by the state amounted to nearly Jkv per capita. He said he favored sup porting one school and providing ade quately for it but the contemplated pro ?r.imme, he Insisted, carried with it too heavy a tax against the people of the state. A vote being taken, the following nine Representatives voted against the Mon mouth appropriation: Brandon, P'arrell, Hatteberg. Hines. Jackson. Jones (Doug las I. Jones (Clackamas). IJbby and Meek. Clemens Makes Futile Protest. When the Monmouth kill had been dis posed of. Clemens, member of the ways and means committee, registered a pro tect to the appropriations for two other schools. He based his objection on the around that since Multnomah County paid one-third of the taxes of the state, the passage of the three bills amounted to assessing a direct tax on that county of over fl-'.'.oon. He explained that it was the Intention of the ways and means com mittee to make ample provision for one normal school, but the Ho'iso had voted otherwise, and for that reason the three Y!!ls had been reported!. 'i'lthout further debate, the vote was taken Dimick. Greer and Jones (Clae.k amifO. explaining their votes against the tIU by saying that they favored one hool but would not give their vote to Mils carrying appropriations for more. Those voting against the "Weston School were: Abbott. Brandon, Campbell, Cle mens. Dimick. Farrell. Greer, Hatteberg, Hines. Jackson. Jones (Douglas), Jones Clackamas). Libby, Meek, Munkers, OT ton and Smith. ' Campbell Opposes Ashland. It was not until the bill for the Ashland Echool came up that the normal school forces were forced to muster their strength. "I have sat back and watched this House hand out the people's money ail day and saidi nothing." said Campbell, in opening the debate against the Southern tregon School. "The sum of tlOO.OOO has Just been appropriated to the people of Southern Oregon that they might build a road to Crater Lake and now they want an additional J106.O0O. There is no reason why the state should appropriate J-118,-ono for the education of about 400 normal school students. The time has arrived when this Legislature, in the Interests not only of the taxpayers, but of the normal schools themselves, should call a Jialt. If this bill Is passed, following the other two. I am confident that the peo ple will invoke the referendum on all three bills with the result that all three echools will be wiped out." In closing the debate Campbell called attention to the fact that tne state pro vided a tax of only )S per capita for the education of public school children, while the Legislature proposed to make provision for about SS00 per cap ita for training students In the normal schools. He insisted that this ar rangement was entirely unreasonable and unwarranted. Dimick made an equally strong ar gument against the retention of more than one normal school. He Inquired why there was greater need for three normal schools than there existed for three state universities or the same number of agricultural colleges. He mainiameu i nai iiiurt-aavu tiuvaiiiaueB would result from the establishment of one central school for the training of teachers. The speaker also charged that the present system every two years breeds a normal school combl-. nation In the states legislative halls that sent many a meritorious measure of legislation to the graveyard that the combination might secure contin ued appropriations for these schools. Jie read from a pamphlet showing that Indiana had only two normal schools, Kansas two, Kentucky two, Maryland one, Missouri three and Nebraska one. From the same authority he charged that the cost per capita for normal school students In this state was $138 and that this per capita cost was ex ceeded only in seven other states, as follows: Wisconsin. Washington, South Carolina, Rhode Island Ohio, Massa chusetts and Colorado. Friends Hush to Support. Buchanan. McArthur. Carter and Brady made effective talks for the sup port of the Southern Oregon school. In sisting that. Inasmuch as the eastern and western sections of the state had been cared for. the prosperous section on the south should be recognized and provided for. The vote by which the Ashland bill was passed and which shows the nor mal school combination in the House was as follows: Ayes Altman. Applegate, Barrett, Reals, Bean. Bedilllon. Belknap, Bone brake, Bones. Brady, Brattain, Brooke, Buchanan, Calkins. Carter. Conyers. Dodds, Eaton. Jones (Lincoln and Polk), Lelnenweber.

WATER CODE IS ADOPTED SEXATK PASSES IRRIGATION MEASURE AMENDED. State Engineer to Be Elective and Two Districts to Be Formed, Each With Superintendent. SENATE WILL CONVENE TODAY. STATE CAPITOL Salem. Feb. 12. (Special.) The Senate will meet at 9:30 Saturday morning. The House has adjourned until Monday at 10 A. M. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Feb. 12. (Special.) The Senate this afternoon rassed the Conservation Commission's bill for an irrigation code, but with several amendments, the most impor tant of which is one providing for the electlofi of the State Kngineer and two water superintendents, instead of hav ing them appointed by the Governor, ss was provided in the original bill. These amendments, while not agreed to by the framers of the bill, are not particularly objectionable. All other amendments related to matters of de tail and were satisfactory to the rep resentatives of the Conservation Com mission. The amendment regarding election of the State Engineer was proposed by President Bowerman, who said that a man who holds so Important a position as this, with power to control the use of water, should be kept close to the people and that the best way to do this is to make him elective. Bower man asserted that If the people are competent to elect a United States Sen ator they are also competent to elect a State Engineer. Senator F. J. Miller questioned this, saying that a State En gineer must have special training and qualifications for the position and that the people have no means of knowing of the qualifications of all the candi dates who may appear in a direct pri mary. This amendment was adopted by an overwhelming majority. The first election wfll take place in 1910, the officials serving in the meantime to be appointed by the Governor. . There was some opposition to the emergency clause but this opposition entirely disappeared when Senator Hart and Senator F. J. Miller pointed out that If this bill should be passed without an emergency clause, there would be 90 days in which speculators could file on water rights before this bill could become a law, and one of its main purposes would be defeated. Senator Hart also reminded the Sen ators that it would take some little time to get the machinery of the new law Into operation and that If the law did not become effective until the lat ter part of May. the season would then be so far advanced that not much could be done this year. Another feature of the Senate bill which was not contained in the House irrigation bill is the section protecting vested rights. That section of the Senate bill was agreed to by the Con servation Commission and the repre sentatives of the power companies and its language Is so broad as to protect any and every right that now exists, without In any way creating new rights or recognizing any that may be In doubt. The Senate bill also makes the wa ter masters subject to some control by the County Courts as to the amount of time they shalll work, so that if a water master tries to graft he can be discharged. The plan is to have the water masters work only during the portion of the year when they are needed. The Senate bill divides the state Into two divisions, one comprising all of what are known as the Western Oregon counties. The engineer is to be elected in the state at large and one superintendent In each division. these three constituting -the board of control of the appropriation and use of water. It Is believed that the bill will pass the House without delay. ft KNOWS -HER DUTIES Mrs. Shelton Confident She Can Do Governor's Work. . HER POLICY NONPARTISAN In Interview She Says: "I Expect to Show That a Woman Can Conduct orflce as Well as a Man Can." SALEM. Or.. Feb. 12 (Special.) Mrs. C. B. Shelton, who, as private secretary to "the Governor, will be in charge of the executive office when the Governor leaves for Washington to take his seat as Senator, has no Intention of making radical changes In official policy. As Acting Governor it Is presumed she will be nonpartisan. When asked today re garding the policies ehe Intends to pur sue, she said: "It will be my policy to treat everyone with the same courtesy that has been ac corded visitors to the executive office in the past, and to perform all the duties that usually fall to the private secretary to the Governor. I do not Intend to Issue nny pardons. I should like, however, to be Instrumental In creating a fund to aid discharged prisoners when they are turned out of the penitentiary after serving their terms. I shall try to show that a woman can conduct the affairs of a Governor's office as well as a man can." Speaking tonight of Mrs. SheHon's qualifications. Governor Chamberlain eaid: "Mrs. Shelton became stenographer for the law firm of Chamberlain & Thomas in 1S95, and became stenographer in the executive office in 1P02.

Since .com ing to Salem she has not only performed a large part of the stenographic work, but has ably assisted the private secretary In his work. She has been not only a faithful woman in her work, but has been tactful In her intercourse with persons who have business In the executive of fice." PUT ASSASSIN IN RIVER j. Wilkes Booth Not Buried, but Thrown Overboard. SALEM, O., Feb. 12. That the body of John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln, was tossed into the Potomac River, and not buried in the Booth family plot, is the belief of R. B. Thompson, a newspaper man of this city. Mr. Thompson bases his state ment on the revelation of the secret made to him eight years ago by Cap tain E. W. Hllliard. then commander of Tom Smith Post. G. A. R-, Metropolis, 111. Captain Hilliard. who died a few years ago, told Mr. Thompson that he and four privates of Sheridan's army reported for "duty at the old capltol prison In Washington one night a few weeks after the assassination and in company of a surgeon and Corporal, Booth's corpse, disfigured by burns, was removed from under a stone slab, wrapped in a tarpaulin and carried to a gunboat In waiting. The vessel dropped down the river 10 miles and the assassin's body, weighted, was placed on a plank and shoved into the river. All concerned were bound to profound secrecy and Mr. Thompson says Captain Hllliard told him the tale most reluctantly, after having inad vertently given a clew at the time of President McKinley's death.

Proposed to Employ Best Engineer In Country to Draw Plans Es timated Structure Will Take $2,500,000 and Five Years. RESOLUTION OX PROPOSED CO LOMBIA RIVER BRIDGE. The following resolution on the Co lumbia River bridge project was in troduced by Representative Mahone, of Multnomah, and seconded by Representative Sparks, of Clark County, Washington: Resolved, That it be the sense of this meeting that we Indorse the project of the matter of the con struction of a bridge across the Co lumbia River and that both legis latures of Oregon and Washington he requested to appropriate $5000 each for the preliminary work of same, making flO,000. or such amount of the said appropriation to be used as is required. The resolution will bs Introduced at both Legislatures on next Mon day. Unless the plane of the Joint committee from the Legislatures of Oregon and Washington miscarry, the Columbia River I between Vancouver and the Peninsula will be spanned by a bridge within the next five years. At a meeting last night of the members of committees of the Joint Legislatures, plans for presenting such a movement to the law-making bodies of Oregon and Washington were discussed and It was decided that an appropriation of $6000 by the Oregon Legislature and JS000 by the Washington legislature be recommended, the money to be used In obtaining the services of Ralph Modjeska, or some other celebrated bridge builder, whose duty it will be to furnish plans and estimates. Some time ago the proposition of build ing such a structure across the Columbia was brought up before the Legislature ny Senator Beach at the request of. J. H. rsolta. of Peninsula. The resolution &p- pointing a committee to meet with a like committee from the Washington Legisla ture was speedily put through, with the result that Senator Beach was named as chairman, to act with Senator Bailey, and Representatives Mahone, Davis and Campbell. A copy of the resolution passed by tne Oregon Legislature was sent to Olympla. There Senator R. Allen and Senator W. M. Beaeh, together with Representatives W. W. Sparks, Dr. A. T3. FJastham and J. A. Miller, were appointed as a committee to meet and confer with the Oregon delegation at Portland. Senator Allen Chairman. The Washington delegation arrived yesterday afternoon, and while hun dreds of people were celebrating Lin coln's birthday upstairs with a ban quet, the legislators met downstairs and talked over the proposed Columbia River bridge. Upon motion of Senator Beach, of Oregon, Senator Allen, of Washington, was named as chairman of the meeting, and Senator Beach himself was elected secretary. Before the gathering settled down to business Tom Richardson was introduced and he extended to the visiting Washington statesmen a cordial welcome. Mr. Richardson assured the visitors that anything looking to the development of Oregon and Washington would receive the hearty support of the business in terests of Portland, and especially of the Commercial Club. Judge M. G. Munly left the banquet and also talked bridges with the dele gates. Judge Munly was introduced by Senator Beach, who told the mem bers of the Washington Legislature , that Judge Munly knew much about the proposed bridge, for he had made a study of the matter. After telling of the vast advantages the bridge would mean to Vancouver and Port land, and especially to the wealthy farming districts of the river counties on the Washington side. Judge Munly gave facts and figures on what he thought would be the cost of the struc ture. $10,000 Preliminary Expense. "I discussed the proposed bridge with Ralph Modjeska," said Judge Munly, "and he Informed me that it would cost about $10,000 to employ an engineer. This would of course be only the preliminary cost. For this amount I am of the opinion Mr. Modjeska could be hired, or someone else with as great a reputation as a bridge builder. This money would furnish the plans, the soundings and everything complete. This $10,000 may seem a large amount, but In my ex perience and in watching the construction of bridges in this and other countries, I most emphatically favor employing the best engineers In the country. It would take at least two years to get this matter under way and then It would take at least five years before the bridge could be completed, so all we can do now is arrange preliminary plans. "While I am not prepared at this time to say what such a bridge would cost, I believe If the Joint states are going to have such a structure built, they should see to it, that it is to be the best money can construct. In my opinion, speaking on the matter now, I believe a bridge that would meet the requirements of a great growing country like Oregon and Washington, would cost between $2,000,000 nd $2,500,000. Rentals to Pay for Structure. All the Washington state men were greatly interested in the project. Rep resentative Sparks, of Vancouver, stated that he had made some inves tigations regarding the proposed bridge. He said that he had learned that the cost of maintaining the ferry across the Columbia River amounted to about $2000 a month. Mr. Sparks was of the opinion that if the bridge was built, the street railway - company would be only too glad to pay for the use of the bridge, which would be the means of making it self-sustaining from the rentals. Mr. Nolta told the committee how he came to be a-ther of the movement: "I had been reading of the proposed automobile road from Los Angeles to Seattle," he said "and it suddenly oc curred to me, that we should have a bridge across the river. Then I be gan to think over what it would mean to Vancouver and to Portland, so I took the matter up with Senator Beach at Salem. This gathering is the result." A delegation of a dozen or more men was present from Vancouver, and through P. C. Lavey pleaded for the Axinnimster Rogs 27 in. by 54 in.

Mr. Lavey also made a motion, which carried, to the ef fect that Congress be memorialized to Rive aid to the project. Mr. Lavey made the point that a bridge across the Columbia at this point might sometime be necessary for a'military road, and for that reason the Govern ment might be willing to aid in its costruction. Resolutions were passed asking the Legislature of each state to appropri ate $5000 for preliminary expenses, such as hiring an engineer and mak ing plans and soundings. The session of the committee con tinued till a late hour, and the mem bers were unanimous in their ap proval of the project and their willing ness to work for it in their respective Legislatures. Senator Allen, in accepting the chairmanship of the committee, prom ised he would do all in his power to get his colleagues to pass favorably upon the appropriation. Senator Al len and Senator Beach, of Multnomah, make a good team. Both are workers, and as Senator Allen stated he was a crank on good roads and public health. The idea' of the bridge ap pealed to him. for bridge building and good roads mean the development of the state, he said, and he promised to help the project in any way possible. The Washington delegation will visit Vancouver this morning. Goods Placed Too Near Sidewalk. SALEM, Or., Feb. 12. Special.) Rep resentatives of three leading groceries.
