SENATE AX HITS BILLS IN THE NECK A rt.W MHASl IIKS CO TllliOKJH HI T "OH' TO Til K .iii.i.otim:" IS Till) OltKKK OK Tilt WAT IMM I.AItOIt BILL FASSKS. With but Mttle talk and that was unnwHxary ho far as the bill was coiu:orn''il thn nenatp this morning voted down the. bill of Senator Jo Beph, t Multnomah county provid ing for relief for the spreme rnurt, by Ineriaslpg the bench from five to seven judge!) anil that tribunal will liave to fix upon Home nystein for cx peditlnp matters or 1h behind as Is Its record for the past, because cer tain It in now that no relief will come from thn legislature. . The bill carried an i-mergency clause but It provided that at the next general election that the people might decide whether it was expedient to continue the additional Judges In of fice. Senator Joseph In spenklng In behalf of his measure stated that the '' court was a yenr behind now In Its twork and that It would be Impossi ble, unless more Judges were created, for It to catch tip. In the past, he ;salcl, the court had been behind from "one to two years and unless relief ; was granted . by. the passage of the bill no Improvement along tills line need be looked for. Senator Dimlck opposed It on the i ground that It was but creating Jobs ' for certain Individuals who had been lobbying for thn passage of the bill; and on the further ground that the mipreme court was able to handle the business. Senator Abraham ad vanced similar argument and so did Senator Howermnn. The vote was 25 to 4. Miilnrkry and Kelluluir Mix. When It came to the reports of committees Senator Kellahnr and Malarkey had a little bout of their own but It did not lust long or ac complish anything. Tho Judiciary committee of which 'MnLarkcy Is thn chairman In reporting back on Kella liar'a bill, having for IIh object there vokeiuent of thn Green company's gas franchise In Portland, asked that It he referred to the Multnomah del egation. Kollnhar objected to his bill being "klHHed about" and accused thn coiumlttcH of not having had a meet ing alnce It was referred to It. That brought Mularkey to his feet with the charge that Kellahar doubted everybody but himself Rnd that ho was the only honest man In the sen ate and also with an explanation why tho committee had taken the action. Ax Is Applied. The commltteea In reporting this morning on bills applied the ax free ly and a number were killed. Hena tord Mcf ulloch's bill providing for the joint construction by Oregon nnd Idaho of a bridge across the Snake river went to tho nenato cemetery and so did a bill of Senator Kella hnr making an appropriation for a . building for tho Oregon Hlstorleul society at Portlnnd.
