(Aaaoclatrd Prm Leaaad Win ) STATE HOUSE, Salem, Ore., Jan. 20. Prohibition Investigating committee lavl night in the closed session following Its open meeting, derldtd to have all meetings in ex ecutive session during the inquiry, with the exception that public meetings will be announced from time to time. Newspaper men will be Invited to attend all executive sessions, but on the condition that they are to make public only such matter as the Investigators designate. It was explained that the reason cor this Is that the committee is unwilling tor anything to be public that would be contrary to public policy or that might hamper the state prohibition department In the enforcement of law. This will apply, for one thing, to the names of operatives of the department. An Invitation was sent to the dis trict attorneys of the state to ap pear before the committee. W. J. Herwlg, superintendent of the Oregon anti-saloon league de clared today that no investigations made by the league In any way in volved a United States senator or any other federal officer. The committee will meet tonight and the records of Mr. Herwlg will be perused. To Aid Market Roads STATE HOUSE, Salem, Ore.. Jan. 20. Public hearing on the house bill which would amend the present market roads law will be beld by the Joint committees of roads and highways at four p. m, Thursduy, according to announce ment made by Representative Ford chairman of the house group and author of the bill. The measure would give the highway commis sion closer supervision over market road construction in that county engineer on a market road Job would have to be approved by the tommission. More systematic laying out of market roads through the various counties of the state would be pro vided under the measure. A main tenance fund for repairing market roads after once constructed would be provided. i Measure In The House SALEM, Ore., Jan. 20. The house committee on medicine and pharmacy today reported in favor of house bill 45 by Woodward, Multnomah county, providing for physical examination of children In the elementary schools of the state. House bill 38 providing for re peal of the six and five tenths mill limitation In taxation In school dis tricts of more than 100,000 was re orted favorably by the committee on assessment and taxation. The measure was Introduced by the Multnomah county delegation. It Is designed for the relief of Port land school district number 1. A number of new bills were intro duced at the morning session. Representative Peirce. Coos and Curry counties, has prepared a bill which would limit a trailers' catch on the Rogue river to two salmon e, day. Sportsmen have compUln ed that the commercial fiBhermen who work nets at night descend on the river to troll or to sell their net caught fish to tourist fishermen Tax would be levied on tax ex empt securities on their inherit ance under terms of house bill 70 Introduced this morning by Germ an, Multnomah county. The rate NEEDED FOR rlaanrlatnl Prm Let 4 WIr ) NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Thomas A. Edison came out today with a few simple Ideas for gun elevation of American battleships at little expense and also for getting work out or tne navy a personnel. Gun elevation could be obtained. he said, at little expense by adop tion of the Paravane principle. The Paravane, he explained, was a flirt nf lateral rudder or fin. by which a battleship could be tilted to alter the range of the guns, much after the principle used by submarines in diving or coming to the surface. The IH.r.OO.rtoo sought In the naval appropriation for gun elevation, he regards as needless. "A pound of mercury for each ship, used with the apparatus, will do the trick." said the Inventor. He added that his plan bad been would range from 1 to 12 percent, depending on the amount Inherited. The property qualification for vo ters in school elections where tax ation or bonding measures are to be acted upon would be removed by house bill 75 Introduced this morning by Woodward, Multno mah county. Senator Staples today Introduced a bill to do away with constables in Multnomah county and place all their work under the sheriff's office. Another bill introduced by Staples today provides 15 a day compensation for appraisers of es tates. Daily Grind of Bills STATE HOUSE. Salem. Ore.. Jau. 20. The senate yesterday af ternoon passed over the veto of .last session the Dunn bill exempt ling estates left to charity from ap plication of the income tax. The bill has special application to the estate of Dr. Bernard Daly who left a million dollar estate to pay the way of young men and women of Lake county through Oregon colleges and universities. The bouse adopted a. joint mem orial calling upon Oregon's delega tion In congress to ask for a three cent a pound duty on cherries im ported into the United States. Bus and truck lines operating In Oregon would be placed under the public service commission and sup ervised in about the same meas ures as railways under house bill No. 69 Introduced by Representa tive Oakes, of Malheur, and Swan, of Linn county. The bill fixes rates paid to the state for use of Its highways on a basis of mileage, weight, and with relationship of cost to the small car owners. It would mean a total of between 10 and 15 per cent tax on the gross income of bus and truck lines, ac cording to Swan who points out that the railroads of the state pay ing the least contributes around 24 per cent in taxes. The fact that a person was arm ed with a revolver or pistol and did not have a permit to carry the same would stand as prima facie evidence of Intent to commit a fel ony under house bill 63 introduc ed by Lonergan, Multnomah coun ty. Finances Discussed Secretly STATE HOUSE, Salem, Ore., Jan, 20. The ways and means committee held its first meeting or the present session last night and began its deliberations by barring newspaper men from attendance. This resulted directly from the statement of one member that he was going to make some drastic j remarks on appropriations of state institutions. Senator Deals made tne motion to exclude the news writers. Governor Pierce appeared before the committee and mentioned some of the appropriations that be con siders of most Importance, these Included (41,000 for the conduct of his office, 1100.000 to complete the new state training school at Woodburn, between $50,000 and 6110.000 to convert the old training school Into a reformatory, 6200. 000 to build a new wing for the eastern Oregon insane hospital, funds for an industrial building at the state ho9jltal in Salem and an appropriation for new buildings at the childrens farm home near Cor- vallls. The committee approved the W OFFICERS J, El jsent to Washington and rejected on I the ground that It would cause too 'much retardation of a ship in mo tion.
