. - Message Tomorrow
Special to the Evening Review.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 11. At 10
o'clock this morning the 25th bien
nial session of the Oregon legislature
was called to order by former clerk
Lair Thompson, who was act
ing as temporary speaker. He named
at the committee on credentials,
Jones of Lincoln and Polk, Orton,
Jones of Clackamas, and Bonebrake
of Crook.. The house moved to go
Into caucus at eleven o'clock.
The election of Senator Jay Bow
erman, of Gilliam, as president of the
senate, was clinched several days ago
while the selection of Representative
elect McArthur to the speakership
was made just as certain yesterday
when a sufficient number of the oppo
sition yielded and entered the Mc
Arthur camp and gave the Multnomah-Clackamas
man the required
number of votes to insure him the
nomination, either in a caucus of 31
members, which has been called, or
a caucus of the entire republican
membership of 62 in the Lower
House.
W. M. Barry, of Multnomah, was
elected chief clerk of the senate, and
"W. Fred Drager, of Marlon, as chief
clerk of the house. The opening ses
sion was devoid of any show of bitter
ness among the defeated candidates,
for any of the positions sought. Af
ter temporary organization a recess
was taken until two o'clock, caucuses
being held In the meantime. Upon
reassembling the credentials com

mittee submitted their report and the
members were sworn in. The first
business of the session was the in
troduction of resolutions and the
first reading of bills.
Senator M. A. Miller, of Linn, was
honored with the nomination for
president of the senate by the demo
cratic caucus. This- body also nom
inated Ed. Aldrich, of Umatilla, for
chief clerk. ' . t
In the republican caucus the nomi
nation of C. N. McArthur for speaker
was made unanimous, upon motion
of Patton.'of Marion, who formerly
was a candidate for that position.
Representative-elect Ilarrett, of Uma
tilla, a Statement No. 1 man, is re
ported to have received a letter from
McArthur In which the latter Is said
to have stated that In case he was
elected speaker he would not use the
Influence of that high office toward
controlling the election of.U. S. sena
tor, as he considered that question
settled by the vote of the people last
June. He therefore was not opposed
by the Statement No. 1 members.
Upon convening of the afternoon session-the
republican caucus nominees
were elected In both houses.' -
With the eyes of a nation focussed
upon It, with the voters of this
state.Mn particular, awaiting the out
come with keen Interest, the Oregon
legislatures-convened today for a
forty-day session with the prospect of
being the scene of the most extra
ordinary senatorial contest ever held
in any legislative hall In the country.
Nowhere has a more unique situa
tion growing out of a right for a seat
in the United States Senate ever de
veloped. This is true because of the
fact that both branches of the Ore
gon legislature, which is overwhelm
ingly republican, are facing the pro
position of giving the senatorial plum
to a democrat, Geo. E. Chamber
lain, now governor of the state, and
the people's choice for the high posi
tion. Otherwise they must repudiate
the pledges made to the voters and
elect a republican.
In either event an interesting
chapter will be written In political
history.
Present Indications are'that every
one of the 52 legislators elected on
"Statement No. 1", which provides
for the election of United States sena
tors by the vote of the people, will
stand by their pledge and send Cham
berlain to the upper house of Con
gress. The governor's message will be
read tomorrow.

A petition' asking for the removal
of George W. Riddle as county fruit
inspector and the appointment of R.
F. Whitney, of Oakland, to succeed
him is the only Item of importance to
come up before the county court since
the fixing of the general tax levy last
Saturday. The petition was turned
down by the court, because It was not
aocompanied, as required by law, by
a recommendation from the state
horticultural commissioner, who Is
A. H. Carson, of Grants Pass.
The petition was signed by about
40 residents of Oakland and vicinity.
It Bet forth no reason for wanting
Mr. Riddle removed from office, but
a brother of Whitney and one of the
petitioners appeared before the court
in person and stated objections to the
present official. What these objec
tions are the court refused to say.
The court will probably finish Us
work for the term by next Wednes
day at the latest, and U may be able
to adjourn by tomorrow evening. Of
the two principal items of business
yet to be transacted, the general jury
list for the . ensuing - year . will be
drawn probably this evening and the
district road supervisors will be
apKinted immediately afterwards.

CAHTHAOB, Iowa, Jan. 11. Rev.
John Carmicliael, the minister who Is
accused of murdering Gideon Brown
ing In a Methodist church near Battle
Run, Mich., a few days ago, was ar
rested by the police in this city to
day. That the minister had decided
to commit suicide la evidenced by a
letter found In his pocket In which
Carmicliael confesses the crime In de
tail and declares that Browning ex
erted hypnotic Influence over him.
Carnilclinol says be went to Chicago
after the orime, changed his clothes
and then came to Carthage.
, Carmichaei's crlmo was a fiendish
one. After slaying Browning with a
knifo ho dismembered his body with
a hatchet and put the pieces in a
stove. Carmichaei's mind Is believed
to have become unbalanced by writ
ing novels, the character of which
shows that his thoimhta were contin
ually turning to dnrk deeds. Ho and
Browning were Intimate friends, and
the minister had given Browning the
agency of one of Ji la books, "The
