HAS NEW GAME LAW READY Tacoma Legislator Will Introduce Bill to Take Place of One Ve toed Arter Last Session as Result of Clerk's Error. ,; Some legislation concerning the pro J posed new state capitol in Olympia in i the coming special session of the Wash ; ington Legislature is looked for by ; State Senator Arvid Rydstrom. of Ta ' coma. ; The last "Washington Legislature created a capitol building commission and authorized it to dispose of the . state capital land grant variously esti- mated to be worth from $2,000,000 to . $7,000,000 and build the new capitol ' on the plans adopted in 1896. These plans call for a building to cost $i, , 000,000 or more and the foundation ; for the structure was completed dur ; ing Governor John R. IJogers" first ' administration, but work ended there, i "I was in Olympia a few days ago," ; said Senator Rydstrom at the Perkins yesterday, "and was told that inspec ". tion of the plans for the new capitol showed that if followed, they would ' provide legislative halls not any bigger than the ones in the present building. while not so much office room would be provided as we now have. I be . lleve this will be called to the atten tion of the Legislature by Governor Hay in his message.' New Game Bill Ready. Senator Rydstrom Is chairman of the Senate committee on game. A game bill prepared by his committee had a I stormy time in the regular session, but was finally passed in both houses in amended form. That waa satisfactory ....jv.i.j i,i B)unmen mrougn-t out Washington. The bill. hnwvol- h.i a peculiar fate. Enemies in the Senate , tacked on a Joker which fixed a close season on all upland game birds until 1912. This clause was stricken out In : the House and a Senate conference com mittee agreed to the amendment, strik- ing it out. But by error of clerks, the . clause remained and the mistake was not discovered until after the Governor had signed the bill. Sportsmen who were threatened with abolishment of ; upland bird hunting for three years, protested and Governor Hay called the : bill back and vetoed it. Thus the laws , of 1907 prevail in Washington. Senator Rydstrom will introduce a new bill In the special session if any new legislation is attempted. He has , consulted with sportsmen all over Washington and believes he has a bill that will meet general approval. He expects to have 250 copies printed so that the state will not be put to that expense. This new bill will restrict the bag limits, shorten the open season in a number of particulars and will pro hibit the shooting of deer when the animals are entering or leaving the water or are at water. The last feature is offered as a compromise between those who favor prohibiting the hunt- ing of deer with dogs and those who demand that the use of hounds be not restricted. Would Adjourn Promptly. "The special session is called for a time that is very inconvenient for me," ! said Senator Rydstrom, "and, person ally, I would like to vote to adjourn on the opening day. It seemed to be the impression in Olympia when I was there that Governor Hay is particular ly anxious for the investigation of Land Commissioner Ross. That is what he wants the committee continued for. I was told he had had his private sec ' retary working is Ross' office for sev eral weeks going over records. Senator ; Fatland. of Tacoma. tells some he has ; been doing some detective work on Ross, too. "I don't know anything about any ; of the charges against the state offi- cers and have no idea how I shall vote l in the Schively case. I understand that 4 some of the lawyers In the Senate will raise constitutional questions as to the right of the Senate to Impeach Mr Schively for acts alleged to have been r. committed before he was a state officer. "In my opinion, a better plan than continuing the investigating commit , tee. would be to pass a law authoriz- ing the State Board of Accountancy which was created by the last Legis ; lature, to go over the books and ac counts f the present and preceding state officers. I know two members of this board well, and know them to be - sood accountants. They, tell me, how ever, that the new law does not give -r- them the right to examine records for the period preceding the enactment of .. the law. These men are already on - salary and I think would be better fitted for the work than a Legislative - committee. Wants Ruth for President. "I am for Ruth for p-esident of thf Senate.

If they should beat :- us, you can look for some lively times r in Olympia. The factional feeling was . pretty strong in the regular session " Senator Rydstrom is one of the offi ; cers of the Pacific Contracting & - Construction Company of- Tacoma, which has a contract for the construc- tlon of eight miles of state road in Clark County.

The complaint filed yesterday Old not embrace grounds sufficient to obtain a temporary injunction, in that it failed to show that Caleb Cross, who appeared as plaintiff, would be materially injured bv placing the building on the square. Th"-? amended complaint will get around this defect by providing that not only Cross but other citizens of Oregon City will be Injured by the building being "placed on the ground that was given to the city by McLoughlln. Blook 40, which is the official name of the public square, where the McLoushlin Memorial Association expects to place the home, conalns about 36.500 square feet and the building will occupy 1500 square feet, leaving 35,000 square feet of space for the public. Contractor Baker laid off his men to day and it is not likely that active steps will lie taken in moving the structure while the matter is pending in the courts. EGGS OF SHAD COLLECTED Oregon City Hatchery Expects to Take Over 2,000,000 Eggs. OREGOX CITT. Or., June 20. (Special.) Dennis Winn, who is in charge of the shad station at Willamette Falls for the United States Bureau of Fisheries, has collected 500,000 shad eggs during the last three days and the total take is expected to exceed that of last year, when 2.000.000 eggs were taken. Weather conditions TWO OFFICIALS WHO WILL HAVE PROMINENT PART IN WASHINGTON SPECIAL SESSION CONTEST. 7 will affect the spawning of the shad, and if next week Is full of warm days fhere is every prospect of a heavy egg take. The work is being carried on under fhe direction of Superintendent Henry O'Mal ley. There are now about 2,000,000 trout fry at the Clackamas station, and these are being distributed throughout Oregon and Washington. Three million steelhead eggs were taken at the Cazadero hatchery and the season closed last Friday. LAD'S A-Y-P TRIP BARRED Portland Youngster Confesses Steal ing Horse to Ride to Seattle. Eleven years old and bound for the A.-Y.-P. on a stolen horse. H. McrSinstry. a Portland lad, waa arrested at Van couver la.st night, the runaway confess ing when quizzed by a livery stable man to whom he offered the steed for $6. Knowledge of the capture of the young ster at Vancouver was reported to the local police last night. The lad stated he had hired the horse at Sixteenth and Jefferson streets in fort land last Saturday morntng and started out Fxl.ibition bent. Disliking the !-rd-ships he had undergone in reaching Van couver, he decided to sell the horse ani finish his proposed trip to Seattle by train. His attempt to dispose of the horse for a tiny sum was his undoing. Toung McKinstry has a penchant for running away, having been reported to the police several times for leaving his home on fly-by-night sojourns. SUNDAY.

Mc Cann. pastor of St. Mary's Roman Cath olic Church, announced from the pulpit yesterday that he was not opposed to Sunday baseball. "As long as a man attends to his religious duties," said Father McCann, "I can see no harm in watching or participating In a game of baseball on Sunday. Sunday is a day of rest and after religious duties have been at tended to. an innocent 'pastime docs no harm." I. W. Beal of the Episcopal Church, also said Sunday baseball is not ob jectionable.

I SPECIAL SESSION CAUSE OF'WORRY Hay's Exact Purpose in Call ... ing Special Session Is Not Yet Revealed. SCHIVELY BITTER AT HAY Declares In Outburst Only Personal Aggrandizement Is Dominating Impulse Report Xot Made Public as Was Ordered. (Continued From First Page.) temper, should he be re-elected with or without a fight, a complete change in personnel of Senate committees may re sult. Ruth has said he was jobbed by Hay in the appointment of , the com mittees at the regular session and that a majority of members of all important committees are friends of Hay. who pre sided for a time as Lieutenant-Governor, rather than of Ruth. If Ruth makes com mittee changes, that will mean more bad blood and tend to prolong the session. Again there are the six bills of last session vetoed by the Governor. They must be acted upon in House and Senate. Beach, whose oyster bill was vetoed, as serts he and his friends supported a lot of bad bills in which friends of the Gov ernor were interested, such as the dona tion of J30.000 to Spokane to entertain tho Irrigation Congress in return for promises of support for the oyster bill and that Hay was guility of bad faith when he let the other , bills become law without his signature but vetoed the oyster bill. Beach will' start something if he gets half a chance and he fights hard. Some of the other vetoes, like the Sunday hotel bill. which allows city hotels to sell liquor the first day of the week, may also help stir up matters. Nobody Knows Why. But the most important question of all Is: "What has tho session been called for?" Hay will not tell and nobody here seems to know the answer. Of course everybody expects it is called primarily to oust Schively from the office of In surance Commissioner. But just how this is to be done is not given out. xl it. is xo oe attempted by impeach ment, then all talk of a session of a few days is absurd. The House has first to constder and present the charges, which easily enough could be done in a day but then there has to be a formal trial be fore the Senate. Trials cannot be had in a day or in several days, particularly in a body with a large proportion of its members warm supporters and friends of the defendant, who will insist he be given ample time for defense. It is positively claimed by Schiveley's friends that not less than 15 of the members of th. Senate will refuse to vote to impeact him, no matter what facts are shown If this be true, impeachment is impos sible, as a two-thirds vote of the entire Senate is necessary. Orfice May Be Abolished. It is suggested" that those after Schively realize this and will not attempt im peachment but will instead offer a law abolishing the office to enact which would simply require a majority in each bodv. This will lose Schively, but it is contended on one hand that he would under the laws be entitled to draw the full jsooo ner annum salary for the balance of the lVizy?T teT,m and on the other "and that the salary would stop with the abolishment of the office. Sarry.,nar iUt thls pIan- after the office is abolished it would be re created by another law. either as an office to be filled by executive appoint m.nt JLas a branch of some other office. This latter-plan has been tried out and was a -failure. Schively was in charge under Secretary of State Nichols under such a plan and the divided two headed responsibility caused the 1907 Legislature to provide for an elective officer. Assuming organization and abolish ing of the office are accomplished promptly and without much of a row there are further possibilities for trouble in what the investigating com mittee wlH probably recommend that is the provision for the appointment of a new committee with ample funds and authority for a general investiga tion of all state offices to report to the next regular Legislature. Chance for Politicians. There are possibilities in this poli ticians are not overlooking. Th. nr.. ent committee, for instance, has probsj ably so far discovered absolutely noth-1 ing that was not generally known so long ago as last session, or possibly further back. Schively's Is the only case the committee has closed and while the committee has assembled de tails and gathered the matter into loo-oi "orm, the facts generally are simply timisna puuiiciy against Schive ly during the primary campaign of a year ago. Yet while the committee has been In session, dozens of charges have gained currency reflecting upon as many other state officers and employes and these men are today under more or less gas- .. s T 1 ,v 1 f";ra. it is poimea out tnai to con- i tinue the investigations will be but to I stir up public suspicion anew and more extensively, until few, if any, of the , present officers escape being under a ' cloud. . Report Is With Printer. The committee report has reached Olympia and with the message which Governor Hay will sen.i with it to the Legislature. Is in the hands of the printer. Several hundred copies are to be printed, some of which will be mailed out to the newspapers for re lease and others will be delivered to the men.bers of the Legislature Wednes day. Already those who opposed the investigation are complaining bitterly they have not been advised of the committee's report and asserting it is being purposely withheld so it may be sprung Wednesday and snap action taken before the oppos?tion may ex amine the report in detail, Schively Strikes at Hay. "You may quote me as saying those who think Governor Hay is honest and doing what he is doing from pure motives and to accomplish what he thinks is best for the state, will find they are mistaken. Hay is neither patriotic nor honest. First, last and all the time he seeks not what will bene fit the state nor the people but what will make for his personal aggrandize ment. He is all the time looking out for M. E. Hay, personally, socially and financially. He would sell out the state, his friends and his family any time if it would help him to do so. He cannot be trusted in any way and the people of the state will learn this fact to their sorrow." Which would seem to Indicate one J. H. Schively is some worried. Rut he still swears he will not resign. Yet he may do so. Sam Nichols talked the same way up to a few hours before he surrendered the office of Secretary of State. COURT KEEPS CHANGE YAKIMA JUDGE GIVEN EXTRA FIVE CENTS. Cigarette Smoker Pays JFine and Lawyer Insists Jurist Ac cepted Tip. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash June 20. (Special.) Justice Herman u. Hunt fined a man arrested for smoking a cigarette $10 and costs. The costs amounted to $2.95 and the convicted man handed the Judge $13. remarking as he was, leaving the room. "Keep fhe change." An out-of-town lawyer exclaimed: "Why. the Judge took a tip." He stoutly maintaiaed that the Sheriff, present at the fime failed in his duty for not arresting the court. A Yakima lawyer, interviewed today, thought this might be interpreted as a fip. but that the intent of the tipper and the tippee would have to be considered before coming to conclusions. It is not of record that the Judge kept the money, which undoubtedly is now in the county treasury. The Yakima Valley is hostile territory for the cigarette smoker from one end to the other. . Cigars, chewing tobacco, pipes of any description and snuff are allowed, but the cigarette is condemned. For a day last week it was reported that the Prosecuting Attorney of Kittitas County would not prosecute offenders against the new law. He has since changed his mind. The Sheriff in Kittitas County seems enthusiastic. In Yakima County, Sheriff Lancaster and his assistants have been active. In Benton County one arrest has been maue at Prosser and the case has been temporarily continued. At Kenne wick, the town Constable announces that he will arrest anyone he sees smoking cigarettes. Across the river In Franklin County Prosecutor Hinman says the cigarette must not be used.

TWO GRAFT CHARGES FAIL Officials of Pacific County Accused on Flimsy Pretext. SOUTH BEND. Wash.. June 20. (Spe cial.) In the Superior Court today the case of the state against W. R. Gray, an ex-County Commissioner, who was indict ed last Fall on a charge of larceny, was dismissed by Judge Rice. Mr. Gray was accused of taking with him, on his re moval to Centralla, a compass belonging to- the county and valued at J100. The testimony showed that Gray did not know that the compass was packed with his goods, and his only offense was In not promptly returning It. The case of the state against A. P.
