JEROME WILL PROSECUTE.
Federal Attorney Will Help Get Evi
dence Against New York World.
New York, Feb. 2. United States
District Attorney Henry L. Stimson
made public tonight a letter, in reply
to one written by District Attorney Je
rome on the subjoct of beginning an
action for criminal libel in the state
courts against the publishers of the
New York World because of published
charges regarding the Tanama canal
purchases.
Mr. Stimson tells Mr. Jerome to go
ahead.
Mr. Jerome had asked if action in
the state courts on behalf of Douglas
Robinson, the president's brother-in-law,
would be an unwise interference
with the action begun under Federal
jurisdiction.
Mr. Stimson answers this question
negatively, but dot-snot state that the
Federal inquiries or prosecutions will
cease, if Mr. Jerome begins an action.
It is apparent that while the Federal
authorities concede to Mr. Jerome the
right to appear as the protector of
Douglas Robinson's gvod name, they
reserve to themselves the privilege of
acting in defense of the reputation of
"a gentleman who occupied the posi
f;..., ,.f h..,l of trie War denartment"
in any Federal jurisdiction wnere me
case applies.
The reference to the "gentleman
who occupied the position of head of
the War department1' probably refers
tn Plihii Root, who was the secretary
of war under whom the negotiations
were completed.
NOT PREPARED YET.
Governor-General Smith Gives
Fur-
ther Advice to Filipinos.
Manila, Feb. 2. The Philippine as
sembly opened today with simple cere
monies, President Osmena presiding.
The first business to come before the
body was the annual message to the
assembly of Governor-General James
F. Smith, which read, m part, as lol-
lows :
"My last word to the Filip nos is
that until the great majority and not a
small minority of the citizens are pro
pared to make intelligent use of the
franchise; until democratic usages ana
customs have permeated trtrougnout
the population, and become a part of
the daily life of the people; until the
power of unconscionable agitators and
demagogues is broken; until education
has created a iut public sympathy
that specious arguments and false doc
trines cannot destroy; until a citizen
has not only the power to judge but
also the courage to act for himself,
the best future of the islands lies with
the land which has given the Filipinos
freedom of speech; liberty of the
press; freedom of worship; the right
of the accused to meet witnesses
against him face to face; the exercise
of the franchise: free schools; auto
nomy in municipal and provisional
affairs; the right to participate in
making laws through the assembly,
and many other rights, liberties and
privileges not enjoyed by peoples
which have had independ nee and na
tional existence for hur.dreds of
years.
Governor Smith deplored the grow
ing gulf between the Americans and
the Filipinos in the Philippines, and
strongly urged that they draw closer
together and act in unity for the best
interests of both. His mes-age sharp
ly criticises the municipal government
of Manila and the municipal police
force, the personnel of which, he said,
was not equal to that of the house ser
vants of the city.
The provincial government, Governor
Smith pronounced to be entirely satis
factory. The annual report on the reveiues of
the islands shows a decline of about a
million pesos (about $500,000) for 1908
under the figures of 1907.
Treat All Aliens Alik?.
Sacamento, Feb. 2. Governor Gil
lett made public tonight the text of a
letter received today from President
Roosevelt with regard to anti-Japanese
legislation now pending in the Califor
nia legislature.
President Roosevelt begins by quot
ing a letter from the secretary of state
to Governor Gillett, in which Mr. Root
said that he Baw no objection to the
passage of a law which treated all
aliens alike in acquiring ar.d transfer
ring real property, but "To avoid con
flict with the constitution of the Unit
ed States, such stat-ite should contain
an expressed provision excepting from
its operation any rights secured by
treaty between the United Statis and
foreign nations."
President Roosevelt then gives the
text of a memorandum from Secretary
of State Root, which, he says, has his
cordial approval.
Calm Foretold for Cuba.
Palm Beach, Fia., Feb. 2.- Charles
E. Magoon, ex-governor of Cuba, left
here tonight for Washington, He will
make a supplemental report relative to
the provisional government, covering
what he has done sine the last annual
report was made, December 1 last.
He will also give a detailed report of
the inauguration of President Gomez.
Mr. Magoon said today that President
Gomez had shown excellent judgment
in selecting his cabinet and he thought
that the new government would have
reasonably fair sailing.
Chinese Laundry a Peril.
Chicago, Feb. 2. Criminal action
may be taken against Chinese laundry
men who sprinkle clothes by blowing
water through their mouths. Com
plaints have been brought to the atten
tion of Health Commissioner Evans
that disease has resulted from this
practice. These complaints come
upon the heels of reports from Pater
son, N. J., that a citizen of that place
had contracted leprosy from a collar
ironed by a Chinese laundryman.
Wheat $1 at Walla Walla.
Walla Walla, Wash., Feb. 2,-For

wneat today sold m Walla Walla for $1
a bushel. The sale was made to the
Jones-Scott company, who said this
evening the wheat was No. 1 milling
hluestem, and the price was paid be
cause it was worth the amount in the
market. The lot consulted of 1,000
sacES.
PROCEEDINGS OF OREGON LEGISLATURE j
Tuesday, February 2.
Salem. Feb. 3. Salarvy log rollers
in both houses discarding party lines
today succeed in overriding vetoes of
Governor Chamberlain on bills to in
crease the pay of the sheriff of Harney
county and school superintendent of
Polk and to grant fee to the sheriffs
of Malheur and Lake. The Harney
veto must' yet be voted down in the
house before becoming a law and the
two other vetoes must b o disposed
of in the senate.
Today's action of the two bodies in
dicates quite conclusively that the two
bodies will reciprocate in this matter.
The Harney veto was overriden in the
senate by 23 members supporting the
bill and the two other Vetoes in the
house were overcome by a vote of 37
to IS in the case of tho Folk county
school superintendent and 62 to 4 in
the case of tho sheriff's fees in Mal
heur and I-ako.
Appalled by the enormous call for
appropriations, the ways and menus
committee are whetting their knives
for the pninii'g. Senate appropriHtion
bills aggregate $1,200,000 and house
bills $ I, $00, 000, while the secretary of
state's recommended budget amoun's
to $3,400,000. The total of all cash
calls is $5,500,000, making allowance
for duplications of the house, the sen
ate and the secretary of state.
Appropriations two years ago were
$3,063,805, which exceeded those of
the session before by $800,000.
A horde of bills creating new jobs,
most of them at fat pay, have invaded
the legislature no less than 200 new
seats at the pie ocunter being provided
for. How far the combination against
the governor, as signalled today, will
extend for enactment of these bills, it
is impossible yet to foretell.
Monday, February I.
Salem, Feb. 1. The anti-statement
bill, introduced jointly by Representa
tives Bean and Brooke, created some
thing of a stir in the house this morn
tig when it was reported back by the
committee on elections with a favora
ble report. Brooke moved the adop
tion of the report, which was opposed
by Orton ar.d several of the statement
republican members and the motion
finally prevailed by a vote of 23 to 22,
15 being absent. The bill was made a
special order for Wednesday at 2 p. m.
The house committee on railroads
tomorrow will recommend favorably a
bill requiring that all cars on interur
ban street railway lines be equipped
with toilets.
Representative McCue's bill, autho
rizing the d fferent counties to levy a
tax of not to exceed two mills, when
approved at a special election, for the
purpose of advertising the state and its
resources, met with opposition in the
house this afternoon, and was passed
by a vote of 34 to 19.
The house committee on revision of
laws tomorrow will recommend favora
bly Representative Buchanan's bill
providing for a constitutional conven
tion. 1 he bill provides tnai tne ques
tion of holding such a convention shall
be submitted to the people at the No
vember election in 1910.
If such a convention shall be order
d, a special election is to be held in
June, 1911, when 60 delegates, one
from each of the representative dis
tricts in the state, shall be elected to
revise the constitution. The constitu
tional convention will meet at Salen.
n October, 1911, and the constitution,
as revised and amended, shall be sub
mitted to the voters at another special
election in April, 1912, for their ap
proval. W ith only 13 ayes in its favor, Rep
resentative Calkins' bill providing that
a new school district must have a
school population of 15 before it could
be established and receive state aid,
was defeated in the house this after
noon. Saturday, January 30.
Salem, Jan. SO. District attorneys
all over the state are interested in sen
ate bill 117, by Smith, of Umatilla,
which prohibits the incumbents of that
office from engaging in private prac
tice. It is understood that Senator
Smith, who is a doctor, introduced the
bill at the request of lawyers, who did
not like to introduce the bill them
selves, tor lear ol incurring tne dis
pleasure of district attorneys.
The purpose ol benator Albi esDill
relat'ng to hours of labor on public
work is to make the eight-hour provis
ion apply to employes of contractors
or sub-contractors on public work. Tie
present law, the act of 1907, applies
only to persona employed by the state
or county, and not to contractors or
sub-contractors doing work lor the
state or county. Neither the present
law nor the Albee bill (S. B. 131) ap
plies to state institutions other than
the penitentiary, for it has been found
impracticable to put an eight-hour law
in force in the asyium, or the mule,
blind or reform schools.
Senator Bailey's bill regulating the
hours of employment of females ex
tends the provisions of the act of 1903
(amended in 1907) so that it applies to
females employed by telegraph, tele-

Friday, January 20.
Salem, Jan. 29. This promises to
be the most extravagant legislature
Oregon ever had at Salem, not only on
account of appropriations, but also on
account of new offices to be created
and higher salaries enacted, there
are bills for creation of no less thun
200 new jobs, most of them at fat pay
political berths, for few of which
the state and its subdivision shave any
need.
War between Governor ( hainberlam
and salary logrollers in tho legislature
was declared today from the governor's
office in a special warning message.
The house replied by passing Multno
mah's bill ofr an extra circuit judge
and overriding his last session vetoes
on four agricultural fair senate bills
appropriating money lor hastem Ore
sron district.
Five or the six senate Dina or tne
1907 session, vetoed by the governor
and which were passed over his veto in
the senate at this session, were passed
bv the house thia morning, when they
came up as a special order. Four of
the bills provide for district agricul
tural societies in Eastern Oregon and
carry appropriations of from $1500 to
$500 per annum each. The fifth meas
ure permits the garnishment of the sal
aries and wage of state and county
officials.
The most sweeping anti-trust bill
that has been introduced in the legis
lature appeared in the senate today.
It was introduced by Senator Bingham
and is senate bill 161. It not only pro
hibit every form and shade of truitt
and combination agreement, but re
quires corporations to make an annual
statement under oath that they hav
not made any agreements in restraint
of trade or for the maintenance of
prices or rate. It prescribes as pen
alties not only fines and imprison
ments, but forfeiture of corporate ex
istence and liability to repay all mon
ey received in violation of the anti
trust law.
Thursday. January 28.
Salem, Jan. 23. Senator Bailey's
motion for an amendment to the con
stitution permitting the legislature to
amend a city charter with the consent
of a majority of the voter of a city in
looked upon by the anti-saloon people
as an effort to circumvent the local
option law.
Should the amendment be adopted
any city that has become "dry" be
cause it is in a "dry" county, could by
vote of its people be made "wet" by
an act of the legislature. This would
practically set aside the local option,
so far as eitiea am concerned.
The emergency tax law passed both
houses today and provides that within
five days the state board shall equalize
the county assessments and levy a
state tax at a uniform rate.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$5000 to meet the contingent expenses
of the board, which may find it neces
sary in the process of ita task to sum
mon several of the county assessors to
their assistance.
Certain Portland banks have renew
ed their old fight to restrict to them
selves the use of the word "Trust," in
the titles of firms and corporations. A
bill introduced by Senator Bailey, and
now gone to the house, forbid any of
the numerous abstract and mortgage
and agency companies tho use of
"Trust" in their business. Instead
they must use "Trustee."
A big fight is waging over an at
tachment bill which bankers are boost
ing in order to save themselves from
attachment in case of money stringen
cy. The opposite contention is that
the bill would so seriously impair at
tachment of personal property as prac
tically to make it impossible.
The senate judiciary committee re
ceived a severe scoring from Senator
Abraham, of Douglas county, this
morning wherwthe committee reported
adversely on Abraham's bill making it
manslaughter to kill a human being by
mistake for a deer.
