Let the Truth Come Out The Bpecial legislative committee that made its report to the legislature on conditions at the asylum made a wry brief investigation and two of lie committee did not act. Not a (ember of that committee spent a moment on the wards and not a mem ber of the Marion county delegation has visited the Institution and made any investigation whatever. A reso lution was introduced this afternoon by Reynolds calling for an investiga tion In committee of the whole, and summoning Superintendent Steiner before the bar of the house or a Joint convention of both houses and let him tell his side of the story of the charges, and allow any member of either house to question bim on any matter connected with his administra tion, and let the facts come out from such an open hearing, where nothing Is covered up and where nq political animosity or concealed motive can play any part in the investigation. 4 Nig Storm in Idaho. Washington, Jan. 27. A new treaty between Japan and the United States, which eliminates all reference to coolie immlgra- tion is about to be presented for ratification, according to re- ports today. If the proposed ar- gument is reached, each nation will be allowed to regulate the influx of foreigners as it sees fit. The clause in the old treaty by which the United States has been able to force Japan to check its coolie output will be dropped. The people are entitled to know the truth, and in justice to Superintend ent Steiner, who has been known as a high-minded and progressive ad ministrator of the insane asylum, let him be heard. That would let light on the whole situation, and not have another colored report mixed up with politics, and not wait for a long winded investigation after the legis lature has adjourned. Explain theAppropriutions. Superintendent Steiner would also be given a chance under this resolu tion, o explain the needs of the in stitution, and the reasons for asking (Continued -on page five-) Only This Week Left of Our Annual CLEARING SALE Avail yourself of this opportunity to get big bargains and Jsave money.- MONEY SAVING BARGAINS Boise, Idaho, Jan. 27.

Va., Jan. 27. In the first statement he has given to any one since the beginning of the case against fiis wife, Laura Farnsworth Schenk, for alleged attempts to kill him by poison, John O. Schenk, mil lionaire packer, today, to the United Press, laid bare his mind on the sub ject. Seen at the home of his Bister, Mrs. Mary Dnepkin. Schenk looked well and hearty. "I want to tell the world through the United Press what I think what I have thought, how I feel and what I intend to do," he s:tid. "There 1b a time for everything, and this the time to talk." (Copyright, 1911, by the United Press.) (By John O. S'henk.) What can I sayl first of the trial? I hoped against hope for a convic tion. I was hardly surprised at the disagreement, for I had followed closely the progress of the case. I saw how Mrs. Schenk's attorneys were playing solely on the sympa thies of the jurors.

DESTITUTION BY CLOSING FISHERIES Marshfleld, Jan. 27. The reports from Curry county Indicate that a deep interest in the bili to allow com mercial fishing on the Rogue river. The hglglature was never so closely watched In this part of Oregon. Sus pension of fishing on the Rogue river is working a great hardship on the working class here, who have no oth er employment. Clos'ng of the canneries means no vessels into Gold Beach, where supplies are running low, and many families will be des titute before long. Nothing but res toration of the fishery, at least to the head of tide water, will gave that section from paralysis of all Industries.

Mn turkey Hum Favorite Sheriff. . The clash - between the .two. oc curred shortly after the senate had resolved itself into ' a committee of the whole to consider good road bills, The first taken up was that of Sena tor Carson' providing for the employ ment of county and city prisoners on road work. Senator Malarkey moved that it be indefinitely postponed. He gave as hia reasons that it was a duplicato of the convict bill paused yesterday afternoon at least part so, and further contended that the pres ent law was good enough as the peo ple the people are always the burden of Ills Hong had applied the referen dum to It and sustained It. "I am making no attack on the sen ator's favorite sheriff," purred Sena tor Car so nt upon gaining the floor to reply, "notwithstanding the fact that there him been a sheriff lobby hereto defeat the bill. The bill Is one en dorsed by the good roads movement and lias for Its object the turning over of all county and city prisoners to the county court to use them In th construction of roads, and If passed will solve In a large measure the hobo problem. . "I don't want to interfere with Portland," he sarcastically continued, "because If I did the senator would want to make a speech and I want it distinctly understood that what I say with reference to the bill does not ap ply to Portland, but juBt to the rest of the state; and notwithstanding the distinguished opinion of the senator, I believe that the bill is one of merit. A vote was then taken and the mo tion lost. The officer referred to by Senator Carson Is Sheriff R. L.
