In the senate today, Foraker, who is soon to retire, attacked the presi dent on the quality of evidence sub mitted to the senate to Bupport his dismissal from the army of two com panies of negro troops at Browns ville, Texas.

Chamberlain's Message Read This Alternoon Schemes lo Beat Htm Are Appearing OUR BIG (CLEARANCE SALE Begins WEDNESDAY Special to the Evening Review. SALEM, Or.,. Jan. 12. After lis tening to Governor Chamberlain's message this afternoon, both branches of the legislature may be compelled to adjourn for two days to allow bills to be printed before they call be considered on second reading. Owing to the lateness of the secretary In preparing copy of a multitude of blllB Introduced, congestion stares the public printer. Other olllcials are also late, apparently without cause The senate today disposed of the order of business in 12 minutes, dur ine which time five bills were Intro duced, the most Important of which was one by A. J. Johnson providing for a state highway. Smith, of Uma tilla, introduced a bill to authorize the formation of districts for sinking artesian wells. President Bowerman named Kay, Parrlsh, Bailey, Bingham and Norton as a temporary committee on resolutions. The most important bill In the House this morning was introduced by Llbby, of Marion. It provides for the creation of a single board of re gents to manage and supervise all nstltutlons of higher education In the state. The bill, it Is said, has the endorsement of State Supt. of Pub lic Instruction J. H. Ackermnn and Governor Chamberlnln. The board Is to be composed of five members on snlary, and they are to give most of thetr time to the schools. In a'l, 30 bills were Introduced in the House this morning..

Senator Mullt Intends to introduce a bill making It a punishable offmse Chamberlain's record has been start ed which republican leaders hope will afford them material to wage a cam paign. One feature of this investi gation will be to probe the affairs of the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc exposition commission several members of vhich, appointees of Chamberlain are charged with undue extravagance and with hatfhg received high salar ies from the Exposition appropria tion. It is understood that this in vestigation will be directed at W. II. Wehrung and M. D. Wisdom, both Democrats. Will Try to Mnko Illm Resign. Another move against the governor will be that of compelling him to re sign the governorship should he be elected senator. This plan has start ed from the senate and enough State ment No. 1 men have been enlisted to put off Chamberlain's election bal lottlug for which is to begin in each house one week from tomorrow until he shall "come through'" with his resignation. How long this scheme can delay the Senatorial election Is as yet problematical. It Is also un known whether the governor would resist thlB effort to make him yield up the governorship. Word has al ready been conveyed to him of this plan, but no reply bun come back. IIoiimoii'b Illness a Factor. Republicans regard the aovernor- shlp ns highly Important in the event that Chamberlain should be elected owing to the unfortunate situation as to secretary of Stnte F. W. Benson, whose bad health Ib a general subjoct of discussion In the capltol. Benson Is afflicted with cancer which has de veloped alarmingly and has resisted medical skill at home and in California. In the event of his death before Chamberlain should cease to be gov ernor, Chnmberlaln, would appoint isenson s successor as secretary ol state. This successor, after Cham berlain became senator, would not on ly be Secretary of State but acting governor, and control all the patron age of the governor and of the com bined board of governor, secretary of state and state treasurer. It haB been reported that Chamberlain might not take his seat bb senator until the regulnr sCBBlon of Congress next De cember. The precarlbus health of Benson Is regarded as dangerous not only to republicans, while Chamberlain tains the governorship until March 4, but even more dangerous should he remain govornor until next De cember. Republicans of the legislat ure ore opposed to putting In the pos session of Chamberlain the senator- ship whllo Chamberlain retains the governorship and all this possible power over patronage of the State Board created by the legislature.

Chicago Iterord-Henild. Makes the Liver Lively. Special to the Evening Review. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12. Pat rick Calhoun, president of the United Railroads and the capitalist w nom Francis J. Heney regards as the arch- plotter of the so-called "higher-ups against whom tho graft prosecution have boon warring for over two years, went to trial today. His case waB called In Judge LnwIor'B court this morning .where nearly nve weeas ago Abe Ruef was convioted of offering to one of the boodllng supervisors tbe bribe which Calhoun Is accused of having placed In his hand. Calhoun's trial IB one or tne minus for which all San Francisco haB waited, and the street railroad mag nate declares that he has waited for It himself more Impatiently than any body else. Calhoun has fumed at the delays which the graft prosecution Interposed heretofore wnenever no demanded a speedy trial. He has ac cused Heney, Detoetive Burns, Dis trict Attorney Langdon and Rudoipn Spreckols of needlessly prolonging the suspense, and he has charged mem with bad fnith toward him. The iilanB of the district attorney s office have not becm altered one whit by the denunciations heaped on It by the Indicted capitalist. The program has been carried out without swerv ing, until now the decks are cleared, and Cnlhoun hns his opportunity to vindicate himself. '' Both Bides In tills fight, which has Just commenced, are out "for blood." In the lnngunge of the ring, a "knockout" Is all that will end the struggle. Nothing else will satisfy. San Francisco, realizing the Intensity of the animosities which sway the warring factions, Is watching even the first formal stops in the case with bated breath, for there Is no telling what a day may bring forth and on the outcome of the battle hangs the fa to of tho graft prosecu tion, which has Bpllt the city into two warring camps. . Calhoun, rich, shrewd, reBourceful and stubborn, haB engagod the clever est lawyers he could find to defend him. He hns surrounded them and hlmsolf with a small army of pri vate detectives, intently watching every move made by Burns and his ngonta. He has lined up behind him some of the most influential papers In the state, and he has, as hlB secret hut active nlds a number of the city's wealthiest men. He entors the light with formidable allies.' There will be plenty of money and brains working to keep hlin from the peni tentiary, and if Heney knows what ha Ib talking about, there will be darker and more cruel Influences at work, for the graft prosecutor does not hesitate to accuse the Calhoun Inter ests of shnring with Ruef In all tha venomous dynamiting, kidnapping, Jury bribing plota. which have ham pered his work here since its Incep tion. Heney experts to win despite such opposition. Two years' warfare In this city has sharpened his native shrewdness and has taught him what to expect from his opponents. Ho has learned the weak spots In the armor of his enemies, and he has not fnllcd to profit by the mistakes which he and bis associates have committed. The failures to convict others of the graft dofendnnts have not dlscournged him, but have spur red hlin on to renewed efforts. He has tlwvoted mnny months to perfect ing this case. Heney asserts that the evidence, which will be presented against Pat rick Cnlhoun will be stronger than Hint used In any of the three trials of Tlrey L. Ford, chkif counsel for the United Hallways stronger, too, than that used In convicting Ruef. What Snn Francisco is anxiously NOTICE FOR IIIKH FOR HF.WKIl CONSTRUCTION.
