THE MORNING DLYMPIA KICKS OUT INITIATIVE Senate Quickly Disposes of Proposal to Consider Basic Law Amendment. CRIMINAL CODE HITS SNAG Sonote Refuses to -Concur in Bill Which Knocks Out Social Poker. Grain Inspection Bill Xovr Up to tli Governor. OLYMFIA. "Wash., March 5. (Special.) The Initiative and referendum, which two years ago passed the House, to be kllle-1 In the Senate .today received scant consideration In the lower branch of the Legislature. Denman of Bpokane at tempted to get the bill on the calendar today, asking for early consideration, when Bishop of Jefferson suggested that the House consider It at once. He moved Indefinite postponement and the motion was carried with a rush by a viva voce vote. The final adoption of the crlmnlal code now depends on one or the other House receding from Its position on Important amendments. The House struck out the sections prohibiting' the sale or manu facture of rectified or Improperly aged liquors and also the exemption from crim inal Inhibition of games for wagers played between the host and guests In private residences or apartments and made numerous minor changes. When the bill came back to the Senate today Cotterlll. Falconer and Bryan urged that the Senate concur, so as to get the measure out of the way for other Im portant legislation. The discussion cen tered on the stricken sections relating to rectified liquors which had been pro posed In the Senate by Piper of King. Senator Piper has two bills pending on the same subject, and It was urged that the Senate could pass those and cure the omission In "the criminal code. Piper urged that the Senate take no chances with the House, and the motion to con cur was voted down, 22 to 16. The House later refused to recede and conference committees will be appointed. The amendment to the gambling section, while not mentioned, is known to be one of the principal points of difference also. The new grain "inspection and ware house bill Is now up to the Governor, the House having passed It today. The bill abolishes the present office of State Grain Inspector, but puts supervision of grain under the Railway Commission. The law is broadened to give the Commission con trol of public warehouses and Inspec tion of hay. Railroad companies, under the new law. will have to have suitable sidetracks, equipped with scales, for pur poses of weighing. The cost of Inspection of sacked grain will be advanced from 75 cents to $1, and the inspection of bulk grain will be 75 cents. The Senate modified the general fish eries bill applying to Puget Sound and tributaries, so that the threatened put ting out of business of 1400 glll-netters will not be accomplished. If the House accepts the amendment. Glll-netters will not be prohibited from nshltig in streams as provided In the original bill. The subject caused a lengthy discussion In the Senate this aftarnoon, and lines are distinctly drawn between the trap men and gill-netters, partly owing to the fact that this is the year for the big run of sockeyes. RECALLS FAKE SALEM RACE Kecent Hot Springs Swindle Similar to One Ryan "Worked Here. SALEM, Or., March 5. (Special.) There Is a strange slmlliarity between the no torious footrace swindle at Hot Springs, Ark., and a similar swindle which took place in Salem In September. 1904. The man who pulled off the stunt In Salem was J. C. Ryan, a crack footracer. The name given by the man who did the job at Hot Springs recently Is George Ryan, who. It appears, is a footracer. The general plans of the two fake races were much the same. J. C. Ryan's victim was an Kast Portland druggist, who dropped J3000 in the game. Ryan was convicted and sent to prison on a "four-year sentence, but was pardonefl by Governor Chamberlain about two years age. He left Salem about a year ago. In addition to the coincidence of names and character of the game that was played, people familiar with events re mark the further fact that J. C. Ryan was once caught in a similar trick in Idaho, before coming to Salem. A friend of ' J. O. Ryan's said today that the latter used to live in Arkansas. He was a native of Yamhill County and in his youth was a noted sprinter. STORE THIEVES SENTENCED Three Years in Prison for Stealing Snit of Clothes. EL--3EN-E. Or., March 6. (Special.)

WESTON, Or., March 6. (Special.) p-tmtllla county farmers, through the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union, are urging Governor Benson to call a special session in order that the Legislature may deal with the formal School question. The local branches known as Union No. 6, with over 40 members, and Union No. 7. with 30 mem bers, have each unanimously passed a resolution addressed to Governor Ben son, as follows: We denounce the action of the Legisla ture In falling to provide for the State Normal-schools, thereby- demoralizing- the educa tional syBtem of the state and creating a false impression In the mind of prospective settlers. ' We earnestly urge that you call a special session of the Legislature to provide for the maintenance of these schools until the normal school question can be settled by the power of the Initiative or until the schools can be placed on a permanent basis at a regular session of the Legislature. The committee appointed to solicit funds In Pendleton for the mainten ance of the Eastern Oregon Normal un til June, secured over $700, making a fund of about $3000 that has now been subscribed for this purpose. The work of the school is progressing as usual with the same faculty under President French. The new executive board has taken charge of its financial affairs. MILLION MORE IN BANKS Deposits Increase in Oregon and Money Goes) to New York. SALEM, Or., March 6. (Special.) An increase of almost a million dol lars In individual deposits In Oregon Banks since November 27, 190S, is shown by the official statement of the condition of Oregon banks on Feb ruary 5. This is an increase of 11-3 per cent, in a little over two months. The total deposits now aggregate $74, 929.500.86. During the same period the cash on hand in the banks has In creased $300,000. Another showing that seems significant Is that loans and discounts have decreased over a mil lion dollars -and the amounts due from other banks and bankers have In creased over a million dollars, indi cating that the money which was with drawn from Sastern banks after the scare of a year ago has been going back again. In other respects the statement shows no important changes as compared with the report of last November. As usual, State Bank Examiner Steel has had difficulty in securing reports from the state banks, the delay In every Instance being among, the smaller banks that should be able to report promptly. Despairing of getting re lief from the difficulty by peaceful methods. Mr. Steel has announced that hereafter the penalty of $50 a day will be Imposed upon all delinquents. In addition to the statement show !ng the condition of all banks. Mr. Steel has compiled a ust showing In what states the Oregon state hanks have their reserves. The list Is as follows: California 1.67.17.r; '.-olorado I8.150.7S nistrict of Columbia l.Pr.2.72 Idaho S7.345.48 Illinois e.r..SC,r,.f,!

They were agreed that the de fects that have been discovered in laws passed .at the regular session should he corrected and that no further business should be undertaken. As for the Nor mal school question. those that ex pressed themselves on the subject took the position that this Issue was finally settled at the regular session and should not be allowed to take up any of the time of the special session. The following views of the special ses sion and what it should undertake were given by members of the delegation from this county last night: Senator John B. Coffey I desire to do only what the best Interests of the state require. All bills passed at the regular session In which defects have been dis covered should be corrected and made operative, but we should not have a long session. I feel that we have already been at Salem long enough. Neither do I consider that the members of the Leg islature themselves should be considered responsible for the errors that were made by committees. Senator A. A. Bailey We should do what work must be done as soon as pos sible and adjourn. I will consent to cor recting mistakes 1n laws enacted at the regular session, but will oppose taking up any other legislation. Representative .'. D. Abbott The laws enacted at the regular session and in which errors have been discovered prop erly are our affairs, and we should cor rect them In addition to rectifying the defect in the appropriation bill for Im provements at tue different state Insti tutions. B-uf we must stop there. The Normal school fight Is dead and no other legislation should be considered. Representative K. C. Couch I am op posed to having the Epecial session do anything besides correct the errors in the work that was done at the regular session. In response to a: letter frojn Oovernor Benson- I have advised him that I shall not submit any new legis lation, and I understand it is on the strength of a similar assurance from a majority of the members of the two houses that he has decided to call the srecial session. Representative R. S. Farrell We should limit the special session to the shortest possible time. As for myself. I would not go beyond correcting the defect in the appropriation bill. If it Is possible for us to do our work in one day and adjourn, we should do so. Representative E. J. Jaeger We should correct all the defects in the bills we passed at the regular session and then adjourn. I had hoped that a special session would not be called until after the journals of the two houses had been revised, so that all errors could bo cor rected at one time. But now that we are to be called together, we should not consider any new legislation or bills that faileu at tne regular session. In anticipation, of a special session, friends of the Normal schools have been seeking to exact promises from memb-rs of the Legislature that thv.y would support a bill for the maintenance of these insti tutions in case the Legislature should meet again. We should consider that the Normal school light ended with the regular session and certainly should not consent to Its revival at the speclaf a. Ieath Takes S. Jl. Scott. HARRISBURG.

SSi WALLA WALLA TO GETNEW RAILROAD Eastern Capital Behind Firm Which Takes Over Trac tion Company Rights. TO BEGIN WORK APRIL 1 ) Line Will Extend to Columbia River and Afford an Outlet for Prod ucts of Inland Kmpire Bids Have Been Called Ftor. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. March 5. (Special.) W. S. Mathlas. a construc tionist from Spokane, representing a company composed of Eastern and local capitalists, is in the city today and an nounced that the old company known as the Walla Walla & Columbia River Traction Company has practically gone out of existence and that this line wlli be conducted under an entirely new management. The name of the capitalists could not be ascertained, but It Is assured that It Is neither a Hill, Harrlman nor Graves proposition, but an Independent organi zation. The new company will assume the franchise and right of way of the original organisation, and -will begin active v-ork en the road April 1. Bids are now open for grading work, and aa soon as a contract for this has been completed, it Is announced that a force of men numbering about 200 will be put In the field with this city as headquarters. The proposed rail road will afford an outlet to the Colum bia River, but it is not probable that the lines will be extended bey6nd that point. However, extensions will be constructed to such places as the busi ness will warrant. By this system Walla Walla will be the central point and lines radiating from' It will tap the resources of the entire valley. TAX ISSUE STILL MUDDLED HARTtTS imOISIOX IV GATEXS CASE IMPORTANT. Question of "Wording of Emergency Clause May Affect Acts of Legislature. SALEM, Or.. March 6. (Special.) Judge L. T. Harris will "decide questions of more Importance than a Multnomah County Circuit Judgeship when he de termines the suit brought by Attorney Henry E. McGinn to test the sufficiency of the emergency clause on the act by virtue of which Judge W. N. Gatens holds office. The emergency clause on the emergency tax law. under which the last apportionment of taxes for 1909 was made, does not contain the word "Im mediate," the omission of which Attor ney McGinn believes to be fatal to the Judgeship law. The emergency clause on the act under which Judge J. S. Coke, of Coos and Curry, holds office. Is In the same condition. To all appearances, therefore. If Mc Ginn succeeds in defeating -the Multno mah County Judgeship bill, he will also oust Judge Coke from office and knock out the state tax apportionment. The constitution provides that acts shall not go into effect until 0 days after ad journment unless necessary for the Im mediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety. McGinn's contention Is that It Is not sufficient to declare that an act Is necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety, but that the language must be 'Im mediate preservation." The emergency clause on the emer gency tax law 'reads as follows: "In view of the fact that the provis ions of this act are necessary to the public peace, health and safety, an emer gency is hereby declared to exist and this act shall be In force and effect from and after Its approval by the Governor." In the act providing for two new Su preme Judges and In the general appro priation bill the emergency clause fol lows the language of the constitution, so that there is no doubt as to these. The emergency tax law. the Tax Commission law" and the two Circuit Judgeship laws all seem to depend upon the question whether the word "immediate" Is neces sary. If Judge Harris should pass upon the question before the special session meets, he might save trouble as to the 1909 tax apportionment. Two s;ate tax apportionments have been made already this year and a thfra may be necessary. SHIPPERS CRY COMBINE Houlton and Scappoose Merchants Complain of High Freight Rates. SALEM. Or.. March 6. (Special.) The Oregon Railroad Commission today con ducted a hearing upon the complaint by Scappoose and Houlton shippers against the raise of class freight, rates by the Northern Pacific between Portland and those points. N. A. Perry, of Houlton and J. Q Watts and G. Ft. MiUoy, of Scappoose, rrrerchants. testified that the new rates which went Into effect March L will prac tically cut off their profits on goods effected by the raise, for the reason that they cannot raise the price of the goods accordingly. The Northern. Pa cific asserted that the new rates are the same as are charged on other roads for the same distance out of Portland, and that Scappoose and Houlton have been enjoying low rates to which they are not entitled. The complainants replied charging that there is a combination between the O. R. & N. boats and the Northern Pacific for rates were raised on the boats about the same time as on the road. The hearing was continued in order to give opportunity to prepare a tabular state ment as to the amount of traffic affected by the raise.

M'DONALD ASKS REHEARING Washington Assistant Attorney-General Back From National Cap ital, Where lie Filed Brief Praying for Hcargnment. OLT1IPIA. Wash.. March 6. (Special.) "A rehearing of the Oregon Washing ton boundary case will undoubtedly be granted by the Supreme Court of the umwo. states." said E. C. McDonald. special attorney for Washington, who has just returned from the National capital, where he presented a petition for j rehearing. Mr. McDonald bases his opinion upon the contention that in arriving at Its decision fixing the boundary, the Supreme j Court, by mistake, considered and re- icrrea to in its opinion aa Chart A. re production of a colored map which was never Introduced In evidence in the case, nor properly belongs) Jn the fllee of the case. This map. It is said, la misleading. The brief concludes aa follows, referring to the map: "I" he first place, it does not show tho hydrography of the river from the survey made necessary to the admission of Oregon. The hydrography is that of a survey in ado In 1S60 and published In 1?R1, while the survey of 1A52. published In ISM. was that necessary to the date of Oregon's admission. "Among other differences between the maps of 1S.-.1 and are these: On the may of 1S51 as to the north channel the distance of the bar at mldchannel from the midline connecting Cape Disap pointment and point Adams, was west two miles, north half mile, while on the map of ISOt It was west three miles, south one-half mile. In the map of ISf.l as to the south channel, the distance of the bar at midchann-.-l from the middle of a line connecting Cape Disappoint ment and Point Adams was three and one-half miles and south one and one half miles, while on the map of 1S54 such distance waa west one and one-half and south three and one-half miles. "We beg to say In conclusion that we do not controvert the general proposi tions of law laid down by this court in its opinion., but accept same. We insist, however, that a misconception of the facts of tho case has' led to an erroneous application of those principles In the sola matter decided by the court, and has led the court to pass over without decLslon important questions at issue, con cerning which there is ample testimony, and the determination of which Is es sential to a complete settlement of the controversy submitted. For these rea sons, we submit that It Ts necessary to reopen the case and permit a reargument of the same, and we respectfully ask the court to make an order accordingly."

PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED: CUTICURA CURED HIM "I have used the Cutlcura Remedies for a very bad case of eczema with com plete success. About Cf Leen or eighteen years aito the disease develoood in the chape of a large t'lnhead on top of my hand. It burnexi and itched so much that I waa compelled to show it to a doo Uxr. Ho pronounced it ringworm, and mada very light of it. He gave me a wash and told me to apply it Defore go ing to bed and all would be over in the morning. But the next morning my hand was all swollen up and I poulticed it. When the doctor came to bis office I ehowed him the hand and to my sur prise he told me that he had never ex perienced such a case in his practice and" said it was well I poulticed it. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and finally to my thighs and lers generally and finally on my fuce. The burning was something terrible. After I had tried this -doctor, as I thought, long enough, I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told me it was a bad case of eczema and that it would take quite a while to cure it. His medicine checked tho advance of the disease but no fur ther. "I finally concluded to try the Cutl cura Remedies. I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint mont and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and found relief in the first trial. I con tinued until I was completely free front the disease and I have not been troubled with another attack since. I still use the Cuticura Ointment in my family as it is one of the best remedies to heal a sore or other injury rapidly. I can freely and truthfully say that the Cuti cura Remedies are the best so far as my experience went with them and I am still recommending them, feeling sure I am not making a mistake.
