REWARD PAYMENT IS VETOED Governor Objects to State Payln $1000 In Humphry Case. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. 2 (EpecjaL) The most biting veto of tho entire session was sent to the House today by Governor West. It was laid on tho table with others. It was as follows: "I herewith return House bill No. 241 with my veto. Aa originally Introduced by Mr. Upton this bill provided for the payment of 11000 to the Coast Detec tive Bureau for information leading to the arrest and conviction of George and Charles Humphry. I feel that there are two good reasons for vetoing this meaaure. First. Mr. Carpenter, a member of the House and colleague of Mr. Upton, is ths Coast Detective Bureau. And doubt the propriety of a member of the Legislature using his office or his friends to secure the passage of measure in his interest. Second, it h developed that much of the informa tion received through the alleged con fesslon of the Humphry brothers was without foundation, and further In vestigation may develop the fact that tho Information furnished and lor which the 11090 la claimed la also un founded." LIQUOR SALE BTTJi AMENDED Clubs and Beach Reeorto Not Cov- e ered by Proposed Law. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 26. (Special.)

LEVEE BILL IS PASSED KELLAJIER'S BILL RESTORES PROPERTY TO CITY. West Message Trees House to Action Which May Win Back Land Now Worth $500,000. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. J 8. (Special.) After mors or less ex citement, occasioned by a sizzling message from Governor West to the effeot that tho railroad lobbyists were designing to kill It by leaving It In committee never to be brought out at this session, the House today passed with but two dissenting votes Senator Kellahefa publlo levee bllL This meas ure, which undoubtedly will be signed by ths Governor and will become a law thereby, revokes the permit given ths Southern Paclilo Company at the foot of Jefferson street in Portland many years ago and restores the property to the olty. Ths bill was withdrawn from the House yesterday on a statement by Up ton that City Attorney Grant wished it withdrawn, saying be thought he could get a better bargain from the company In another way. Ths bill, however, had been reported back before ths message arrived. The bill pays the Southern Pacific Company tCO.OOt for Its improvements on the property, but the city will now get possession of the levee, which is said to bo worth not less than s 500,000, and can also charge the company what ever rent the city sees fit to charge. Olson, of Multnomah, led the fight for the bllL There was little opposi tion to It, although some of the mem bers were opposed to ths stats paying ths money to ths company. Sidelights of Legislature CHIEF CLERK FITZGERALD, of the Senate Judiciary committee, who was formerly for many years in the District Attorney's offioe in Multno mah County, will enter the law offices of John A. Logan, in Portland, follow ing the adjournment of the legislative session. DOTTER and Lewelling took oocasion yeateraay aiiernoon to deliver a roast on the newspapers for pub lishing "untrue statements" about the House. "The statements alluded to," said Massey, in reply, "are from tho Gov ernor, and the newspaper men simply printed the message. "PENTLEMEN, I have ths floor," said Speaker McArtbur yesterday, when a certain bill was being dlsouased. very bandy way for the Speaker to recognise himself. f MOVE that Mr. Massey a ened." be awak- said Heltzel of Marion, ad dressing Carkln. who was in ths chair. "Ths chair has no power," replied Carkln, whereat Massey awoke, there by solving ths problem. REPRESENTATIVE- SCHNOERR. of Clackamas, who was ill for several days, was "on ths Job" again yesterday. WHEN Nolta took the floor to de nounce traitors to the DeoDle. ves- terday morning, several "steam roller" men. In a spirit of fun, yelled "question." Nsttled. Nolta "stood pat" and. In ths face of laughter, kept at it until be had his say. YOU'RE out of order! There Is noth ing before the House!" abouted Senator Dimlck. who was in the chair, as Joseph started to talk. "res, I noticed nothing before us." replied Joseph, waving his hand at Dimlck. MRS. BARRETT, Mrs. Dimlck and Mrs. Bean are among the Senators' wives who are spending the latter days of the session with their husbands. WARRANTS were being Issued to the legislators and stenographers today for their pay for ths session. THE OREGONIAN Is a wise paper. It very seldom goes wrong on the facts," was one that Senator Moser dropped during ths course of a debate yestsrday. YESTERDAY was the day of ths heavy run on ths sodar water foun tains and popcorn stands, as the stenographers were all paid off in big rolls of gold from the State Treasurer's office. - ague, mm IS JUSTICE SLATE Governor Approves Supreme Court Additions and Ru mors Are Rife. MEDFORD MAN TO FRONT If Portland Attorney Decides to De cline Appointment A. E. Reames May Be Chosen McGinn, But ter and Others Probable. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or, Feb. J. (Special.) Approval by the Governor today of the bill providing for two ad ditional Justices of the Supreme Court has caused some speculation as to who the appointees will be. Rumor has caused many names to be linked in con. nection with those two positions, In cluding Judge Harris, of Eugene; Judge Butler, of The Dalles, who lntrouuceu the bill; Judge McGinn, of Portland, and a number of others. The Governor said today that be had made up his mind as to whom he would appoint, but would make no ear) announcement. Tho one best guess, as to wno me appointees will be, includes two names that have not been coupled with toe rumors. These two men are iticnaru W. Montague, of Portland, and Charles L, McNary, of this city. Montane May Decline. There Is a possibility, in fact by some considered a strong probability, that Mr. Montana miKht not wish to accept, although It Is understood tne position has been pronerea to mm in confidence. In event he should Anally reruse it l nractlcallv certain that A. E. Keames, of Medford. would be the appointee. Mr. Reames is a Democrat and is nmmlnAnt In Southern Oregon. Jackson County waa strong for West In his srubernatorlal campaign. All things taken Into consideration by and large. It seems certain that Reames will be one of the appointees, as it Is probable Mr. Montague will not accept While the Governor Has maae no rleflnlte statement, it is extremely probable that these two men will be selected. Montague is a Democrat and has been practicing law in roruanu for I vears. He is an old-time friend of the chief executive and of his fam ily. Mr. Montague Is considered one of the leading attorneys of the state, and he assumed an active part In con nection with ex-Governor and ex-Chief Justice Lord in ths compilation of Lord's Oregon laws. McNary Lawyer 115 Tears. Mr. McNary is a member of ths law firm of McNarr At McNary of this city and has been practicing law for about 15 years. He has been practically a life-long friend of the Governor and has always been considered close to the executive ear during the adminis tration. He is a Republican, and for some time was Deputy District Attor ney . of this district and has always been actively connected with tho af fairs of this city and the district. Under the terms of the bill the two additional Justices will bs appointed until ths next general election. Bv the addition there will be seven members of the Supreme bench where there are now but five. The court Is now practically a year behind in its work, regardless of ths fact that more cases havs been passed on dur ing the past two years than during any similar period In ths history of ths court.

MANY PROTESTS ARE HEARD Senate Defeats Governor's Uniform Plan by 18-to-ll Vote Varied Conditions of State Cause Loss. Defects Sard to Remedy. STATE CAPITOI Salem. Or., Feb. 26. (Special.) Governor West's uniform salary bill, attacked as perhaps theo retically sound but unsound In prac tice, was defeated in the Senate today by a vote of 18 to 11. Protests were heard from Senators from many counties against the In justice which the bill was said to work against various counties. While some attacks were made because the bill lowered or raised salaries in specific counties, the principal protest was made against the manifest impossibility of preparing a bill which would fit all of the varying conditions in the various counties and sections of the state under a uniform plan. It was pointed out that the different sections of the State of Oregon are as varied in their conditions as are the four corners of the earth and that a condition whicu might -fit Eastern Oregon in no manner would apply equitably to Western Oregon. President Malarkey declared that the bill would deprive every county of the right either through its representatives In the Legislature or by referendum to change the salaries of one county with out passing on the salaries of every other county. Thompson, Moser and various other Senators pointed out defects in the workability of the bill which they deemed would work vital wrongs that it would be difficult to remedy. The failure of this bill to carry means that the veto messages which the Gov ernor is sending in In connection with county salary bills must be passed over his head or there will be no changes In salaries of county officers made by this Legislature. e West Vetoes Gilliam Salary Bill. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. 26. (Special.) Governor West today vetoed Senator Ragsdale's bill provid ing for an increase in the salary of the Sheriff of Gilliam County.
