OHIO PLANS TO BURY I1LL OEHO . COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 10. With "bury all dead laws" as Its Hlogan. a largo and influential fac tion of the Ohld constitutional con vention, iu session hero today, is conducting a. fight to Include in tho new state code a statuto which will purge tho lawbooks of tho state of thousands of obsolete statutes which havo como down through the hun dreds of years of British and Ameri can jurisprudence. 12. W. Doty, one of tho delegates to tho convention from Cleveland, Is the father of tho idea. Ho declares that in overy stato of tho union' there aro thousands of laws which, by tho changes in communal life, aro as dead as herrings. Hut every one of them, ho says, is In full forco, and it is largely through musty old pre cedents dug out of these decayed measures that litigation is made tedious and that often Justice is de nied. I "Thoro aro 1C.000 dead laws on I Mm nlntnfii Itnntfc nt D)iln " enM nnt' outlining his plan. "Most of thorn are dead. Why keep thorn? And then ho advanced tho idea which is making the Ohio lawmakers ponder. Doty's plan is simply a statute of limitation on all laws. IIo urgos that each law has a natural llfo of ten yours, and that it shall dlo by auto matic repeal. Ill AN OPERATION CANTON, Oluo, March 10.

IS HEREAFTER HYPNOTISM USED WEST MUCH PLEASED WITH FRANCIS Governor Spends Night at Medford on His Way Home From Selecting Site for Oregon at Exposition Californlans Outdid Themselves. Tells San Franciscans About Prison Reforms and Receives Many Com pliments on the Oregon System. Highly pleased with tlie reception given the Oregon delegation at San Francisco and somewhat worn by the five days' continuous program of en tertainment which kept him constant ly on the go, Governor Oswald We-it arrived iu Medford Monday evening on his return from tlie ceremonies at tending the selection of a site at the Panama exposition grounds for the Oregon building. After sjieudiiig (he night here, lie left for Salem Tuesday morning. "Culifoniians are famous for their hospitality, but San Francisco fairly outdid herself on this occasion," re marked Governor West. "We were welcomed ut Port Costa by tie mayor of San Francisco and the fair com mission, and from thence until wo left, there was a continuous round of receptions. luncheons, niito rides and oxcursions. "Orogon has the finest site on the grounds foe the Oregon building. It is on the highest eminence in that sec tion reserved for state buildings. Be tween the park and tlie Day, it over looks the Golden Gate and commands a view of the entire harbor. The site is most picturesque and the fair will he a great success. "Oregon has been honored above tlie other states. We have been made to feel that we are first, not only in selecting a site, but in the estimtninu and hearts of Californihns. Every where there was a cordial welcome. "As in the enstorn states, I found that tlie Oregon system of popular government had been a groat ndver tiscment for the state and Oregon's lead lias helped California into the progressive column. 'I found much interest in tlie pri son reforms I am trying to carry out in Oregon. I spoke to a erortded house at the Cort theatre Simduv upon my work here and was surprise 1 at tlie great interest it has aroused. Accompanied by Col. F. L. Ton Velio and G. Putnnm of Medford. I spent Saturday inspecting San Quentin pri son and found conditions much im proved thcro over what they were a few years ago, but still far behind Oregon." Governor West refused to stato what action ho would take regarding tho application for a pardon for Cooper Morris SPAIN HELPS PARIS, March 10.

N THRONELESS KING MN M STOPS ASCENT OF ALL FISI Superintendent O'Malley of the Bur eau of Hatcheries Reports That Few Fish Are Being Taken and Blames Trouble Upon Dam. Governor West Promises Speed Ac tion Upon Investigation and May Order Obstruction Removed. "Unless something Is done to rem edy the situation, either by removing the Ament dam or by constructing an adequate flshway, wo might as well abandon hatchery operations on the upper Rogue as far as egg col lecting is concerned," stated Superin tendent Henry O'Malley of tho fed eral Bureau of Fisheries. Mr. O'Malley has general supervision over the hatcheries of the northwest and bas,bepn looking over tho work of his department In southern Ore gon., and returned north Tuesday. "Although the season Is far ad vanced, practically no steel head havo reached the Elk creek hatchery, which shows that they aro not get ting over tho dam as they should. I spent Monday at the Ament dam. Tho last high water lodged a treo across tho south end and ripped off some of tho plank face. A flood would tako this section of the dam out, though the concrete section built last buji.v mer would stand. Tho temporary flshway has been carried out and tho fish cannot get up tho inadequate old ladders. "Now that a second receivership has involved the property, 1 do not know what tho- chances of a perma nent flshway aro. This dam has given trouble every year for many yoars and until it is permanently remedied, there will bo continuous trouble. There will be no fishing in tho upper Rogue this season unless speedy action is taken. I have taken tho matter up with the stato gauio and fish commission." Governor West was told tho con dition of the dam and stated that ho would at once iuvestigato tho cxtont of tho state's authority and possibly ordor tho structure removed If tho law was not complied with. "Moro ly because a corporation Is bankrupt does not glvo it a right to violate state statutes," ho remarked. EOOAL SUFFRAGE GIVEN SET BACK ALBANY, N. Y., March 19. By a vote of US to 03 the lower house of tho Now York legislature today over threw tho adverse roport of the juli- eiary committee on the woman sut frago hill, and ordered thu bill placed upon the ealutular.
