On Saturday Chief of Police Ham ilton served written notice on all drug stores in Salem that they must not rt'tll liquors by the drink or bot tle, In violation of city ordinances, and that, they will be required to take out the regular city license for drug stores, if they sell any liquors whatever, as Dr. Stone's drug store has been doing. For the first time in this city on Sunday no liquors could be had at the drug storis, and there was not an arrest for drunkenness Sunday. J Salem Shall lie Sober. This is in accordance with the program of the new city admlnlstra-' tlon, that there shall be no more drunkenness in Salem.

JHtik Store Sales. Still there were drunks, and it was the firm determination of the city government to trace them, if possible, to thfi drug stores, only one of which had a city license, but all were known to sell. Most of them st'ffened up and cut down the habit of letting drinking men come around and help themselves behind the prescription cases. Still drunkards were able to get alcohol and other cencoctions, and there wte r.rrests for drunkenness, that the chief could not locate the source of supply. The mayor notified the chief of police if he did not get after the illicit sales in drug stores he would ask the city council to put on a special detective, and ftrret it out himself.

At the hearing today before the senate com mittee, Governor Sanders, of Louisi ana attacked the claims of San Fran cisco as the site for the Panama ex position He said that under : both the rt Solutions presented by . San Francisco and New Orleins, the fed eral government would be equally re sponsible to the foreign nations, whom It would invite to make ex hibits. Under the San Francisco res olution Governor Saliilers said, the government would have the responsi bility without powtir, but under the New Orleans resolution, It would have the power of supervision. "Our bill does not provide for any subsidy or appropriation," said Gov ernor Sanders. "We say that since the United States government will in vite foreign nations to go to the ex pense of making exhibits, It should also make an exhibit of Its own re- sourcj is. San Francisco says It does not want a government exhibit. And so we are asked to put our govern ment In the humiliating and ridicu lous attitude of asking foreign coun tries to exhibit In an exposition we do not intend to patronim ourSelves.'" Sanders, after speaking for half an hour, suspended his address on ac count of the condition of his voice He will address the committee again on Wednesday Sol Wexler, of New Orleans, vice- president of. the largest national bank In the Mouth, gave an analysis of the financial tricking offered b New Orleans, and said It was of the hlgbi'Bt grade. Referring to San Francisco, he said: "We have no bootblacks that can contribute $"00 to the exposition fund, no Masonic lodges that can con tribute $250,000, no merchants rated at $10,000 or i $15,000 who feel themselves strong enough to give $25,000 to the exposition fund."

The fiasco of trying to hold a busi ness session of the notice Saturday wps sncc'illed by an attempt to get a call of the house Hunday. Representative Fouts and a ft? more remalnel on duty Sunday, an' o'errnly the speaker ordered a roll call, and in the absence of a quorum adjourned to Monday at 10 a. m. The reading of the nv'nutes was dispensed with when Neuner Jumped to his feet, slammed his code on the desk and asserted his constitutional right to be heard. But the speaker was df to his supplications. He was .ruled out of order. He moved the journals th read. Declared lost. He appealed 'rntn. the decision of the cjia'r. , His appeal was dclare1 lost. Charging that the only emergency existing for the tacking on of an; emergency clause to a bill Introduced . by Senator Bowerman having for Its object the creation of the pfflce of as-1 sistant secretary of state was a polit ical emergency and that It would take from the people the right to in voke the referendum on the measure; and further charging that It would mean the creation of another office j and that the state might find itself, confronted with having to pay two salaries where It now paid but one, Senator McCulIoch today on the floor of the senate made a hard hut hope I less fight against the passage of the measure. Would Elcmto Mere f Icrk. The bill, if , it passes the house and escapes the governor's veto, will em power the secretary of state with the right to appoint an assistant secre tary who will be Invested with full power to act in the place of the sec retary In his absence or - during his Inability to act because of Illness or other disability. Chief Clerk Corey now a mere clerk in the office of tho secretary of state-ln - the - event of the passage of the bill would be the man appointed and he would be clothed during thov Illness or absence of Secretary of State Benson In Cali fornia, with all the important duties of. that office. ; : Political Sfliidiie Says McCnlhicli. Senator McCulIoch thought he saw in the measure the fine Italian hand of certain scheming politicians and he said so. It had been urged on behalf of the bill that nine-tenths of the .matters of the bill ce needed the signature of the secretary of state; that n deputy could not take "his place In this respect; and that Its ob ject was to give some one authority to act during Tlenson's absence, so that the transactions of the office might be legal. Senator McCulIoch pointed out that if the transactions were Illegal now that they had been for the past six months when the of fice had been under the supervision of Corey and wuntcd to know why a clause hnd not been put In the bill to cure them. He also maintained that If such a clause was inserted, that it could be made to extend to such a time as might give the people a chance to voice their sentiment with regard to the law through the refer endum. He then charged that it was but a scheme to elevate the assist ant, a clerk, to a position where he might have a voice on the different boards and Insinuated that it might have the effect In the event of the death of Benson to deprive Governor West of the right to appoint nla suc cessor. Just Another Office. .He next attacked the bill on the ground that it meant but the creation of another office. The salaries of the deputies were now flxed between the secretary of state and them, he main tained, hut this bill proposed to fix a definite salary, and he suggested? that the state might find Itself in the position of paying this $2,400 a year for an assistant fid still have to pay out the present . salary for all the doputles that there would be no re duction to offset the creation of the .offlce. ; Senator Joseph opposed It on the ground that the people had elected a secretary of state because they had' confidence In him and desired him to represent them and that it was not right for the legislature to pass a law whereby a mere clerk might transact his duties. Senator Miller opposed . on the ground that he had been advised that the bill would not be legal. While there were a number of ' votes registered against the blU, . there was not a sulllclent number ti defeat it and it was passed". Astoria Hill Lost '"" I The bill of Senator Lester appro priating $100,000 for the Astoria Cen tennial celebration came tip for a third reading and upon a vote being taken was lost. Senator Albee, of the ways and means committee, who op posed the appropriation in the com mittee, gave his reasons for doing so.
