Capital, Bill Introduced, Passed, Rejected, Etc, - .c LLtiiiu MMATOK-' APPROPRIATION BILLS BIG Stand-Patters, Bull Mooser. Pro- a-resaive and Democrats Unite. Salem Scarcely ripple of excite ment was attendant upon the election by the state legislature of Dr. Harry Lane, of Portland, as the junior Unit ed States senator from Oregon. Standpatter, Bull Moosers, Progres sives, Democrats and anti-statement No. 1 senators practically united on the Democratic candidate with the ex ception of three members. Scarcely more than the usual crowd was in the visitors' seats behind the rails. Two in the senate and one in . .. nouse aeciarea their opposition to Lane, and Ben Selling, of Portland. was accorded three complimentary votes. Senators Bean and Calki na. hnth nf whom did not take Statement No. 1 voted for Ben Selling, as did Repre sentative Meek, who also did not take Statement No. 1. Repesentative Bel- lanu. who did not take the statement, explained his vote and cast it for Harry Lane. BIG PLUMS FOR MULTNOMAH I $1,078,700 Asked for. With Several Million More Coming, Salem Appropriation bills making demands on the state treasury to the extent of $1,078,700 have been intro duced in the Oregon legislature during the first week of the session. This is a double record breaker, as it is the first time that appropriation bills have ever been introduced during the first week. This does not include the big appro priation bills which are to come and which will probably carry about fl, 500,000, or perhaps more. Should this pace be kept up for two or three weeks there is a possibility of the appropriation bills running riot, but many of the bills that have been in troduced will be badly slaughtered or the appropriations which thev earrv will be sliced with no gentle hand. The actual total of the appropria tions which are included in the bills so far introduced is $1,578,700, but two Democrat Get Chairmanships on tne bills ar8 duplicates, each carry RIVALRY HIT ARSON TRUST Thousands of Orangemen and Un ionists held demonstrations in Belfast and burned a copy of the home rule bill.

A railroad clerk in St. Louis forgot an appointment to meet an attorney to claim his half of a $125,000 estate left uy nis lamer. ceeds The board of directors of the South ern Pacific Railroad of Mexico have resigned as a step in the dissolution of the railroad merger. Mrs. Warren S. Thummel, Pro gressive delegate to the national con vention last fall, died on her way to Honolulu on a vacation trip. PORTLAND MARKETS "Independent" Operators Did Good Business. New York Competition has hurt the arson business in New York Citv. The grand jury which has indicted sev. eral property owners and insurance ad justers, alleged to be members of the so-called "arson trust," has learned mat a large group of independent operators is responsible for nearly as many fires as is the "trust" itself. Isidor Stein, "Izzy the Painter," who has been the chief source of informa tion regarding recent incendiarism here, promised to give the district at torney the names of the nrincinl "in. dependents." Abraham Schlichten. one of the indicted, entered a plea of euiltv. He begged for mercy and promised to tell the names of 30 persons not yet ar rested who had allowed members of the "trust" to set fires in their build ings and who received part of the pro- Five Important Committees. State Capitol, Salem James D. Ab bott, of Multnomah, is chairman of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives. Multnomah county also drew another important assignment in the appointment of J T. Latourette to the chairmanship of the judiciary committee. Vv esterlund, of Jackson, one of the leading orchardista of the Rogue River valley, is chairman of the committee on horticulture. Reams, of Jackson. is chairman of the committee on rail roads. The chairmanship of the. com mittee on printing, likely to be im portant by reason of the proposal to repeal the law placing the printer on a nat salary, passed in 1911, went to Eaton of Lane. Speaker McArthur gave the import ant chairmanships of expositions and fairs, judiciary, labor industries, res olutions and ways and means to Mult nomah county. Multnomah gets 12 chairmanships out of the 41. The important chairmanships going to outside counties are: Assessment and taxation, banking, educations, nsneries, game, insurance, irrigation, railroads, revision of laws and roads and highways. Democrats were given chairman ships on the committees on agricul ture, forestry and conservation, ramp and railroads. All other chairman ships go to the Republicans. No mem. ber has more than one chairmanship nor more man rour committee places, FIGHT OVER VETOED BILLS Measures Killed in 1911 Come Up for Reconsideration. Slate Capitol, Salem War to the finish will be declared between con flicting factions of the state senate when the governor's vetoed bills come up for final disposition, and determin ation will be reached as to whether Uovernor West or Treasurer Kay will have a dominating influence in that body. When the judiciary committee met for a final consideration of vetoed sen ate bills the two that affect the ad ministration vitally were given long consideration. These are bills which were introduced in 1911 bv Wood, of Chicago Three confessions were obtained by 'Assistant State's Attor ney Johnson in the investigation of the so-called "arson trust." Two who confessed are business men, who told the prosecutor that because rf business reverses, they consented to have their places fired when public ad justers pointed out to them how easy t would be to collect the insurance.

Taft Keeps Old Custom. Washington, D. C. White house officials announce that President Taft expects to observe one of the ancient customs of the inauguration, abandon ed by his predecessor, and will rirfn back up Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to the White house with his successor. This custom was broken by Colonel Roosevelt four years ago when he hurried from the Capitol to the Union railroad station to catch a train for Oyster Bay, leaving Mr. Taft to make the journey back up the ave nue with Mrs. Taft at his side. "Cops" to Study Medicine. Lowell, Mass. Lowell policemen are to be schooled in the nrimara knowledge of physicians and lawyers. Members of those two professions are to give the police daily lectu that they may be able at all times to give first aid to the iniured anrl He. cide without consultation such matters as "When does a man's home nnti. tute his castle, and when does it nn?" This is the order of Mavor O' flnnnell who adds that he is going to have mov ing pictures taken of the nolirn anH firemen in action for public instruction. Washington. One provides that shall be unlawful for any official, trus tee, manager, director or superintend ent or board of commissioners of any puonc institution to create a defi ciency. In event of a deficiency where the life of the institution is imperiled board of emergency including the gov ernor, secretary of state and state treasurer, with the speaker of the house, president of the senate and the chairmen of the two ways and means committees, may meet and cover such an emergency. Any other means of covering an institutional decfieincv carries a heavy penalty under the bill. The other Wood bill prevents the sec retary of state from auditing a claim for which there is no appropriation. west is opposed to these two bills Kay is heartily in favor of them, ac cording to numerous statements made in the judiciary committee meeting. Change in Registration Act. State Capitol, Salem To provide that when an elector has once regis tered in a precinct, he need not regis ter again until he changes his resi dence is the main object of a bill which was intoduced in the senate bv parson, oi iviarion. j he bill also pro vides that all who did not register in 1912 must register with a notary pub lic, justice of the peace or county clerk. In addition to these provisions the bill also prohibits anyone from voting in the state unless he is registered, as in me act provided. ing an appropriation of $500,000 for the Panama-Pacific exposition It seems to be a pretty well settled fact that this appropriation will not get past the $250,000 mark at the outside, although some of the mem bers are boosting for $300,000. A greHt number of them have settled on $200,000 as the proper figure, while others are even anxious to go lower than that. The appropriation of $15,000 for the biennial period, which has boon intro duced in. connection with McArthur's bill establishing a state board of con trol, is really a substitute unpronria tion for a similar amount which is car ried in the State Purchasing board appropriation bill, which was passed two years ago. In event the Mc Arthur bill goes through, it will virtu ally do away with the State Purchas ing board by placing the duties of that board with the state board of control. A few of the bills have been intro duced for agricultural experiment sta tions. One of these is for Coos coun ty, while another bill makes provision for an a'gicultural test farm also in f .. T. . 1 t-vjunijr. runner requests are made for an experiment station in Clatsop county and an experiment sta tion in Malheur county. The appropriation of $3000 a year which is carried for the salary of the governor's secretary is practically a duplicate of the present cost to the state for that office. Now he acts as clerk of several boards of the various institutons. In event the Board of Control bill goes through these duties would be taken from him and his sal ary dropped to $1200 a year, the ob ject of the bill being to keep his sal ary at the present mark. The appropriation of $50,000 car. ried in the public levee bill, according to the plan stated by the introducers of the bill, will not come as a dead loss to the state. The introducers state that the $50,000 is inserted in the bill to provide for reimbursing the railroad company in event it is deter mined that the Southern Pacific has any vested rights in the levee property un wiucn is located me west Side sta tion. Q.. 1 - n nnn ocverai aov.uuu appropriations are included in the list of bills which have been introduced. Among these are in cluded an appropriation for the State Bureau of Mines, one for the estab lishment of a state reformatory at Sa lem; another for investigation of the water resources of the state, another for an industrial accident commission, and another to reimburse certain In dian War veterans. These are by no means the last of the bills to come which will carry ap propriations in addition to the appro priations of magnitude which will he included in the institutional bills by the ways and means committee. The State Board of Agriculture con- templates introducing a bill providing for $100,000 for the construction of a pavilion at the State Fair grounds, a well as also asking for the usual ap propriation for premiums and some money to pay for State Fair defi- ciences. in auuiuon numerous other appro priation requests will be thrown into the jackpot during the next week or so, French Scientist MX Involution U Electric Ugh"" r,.ri- M.

The package was properly wrapped, directed and had 31 cents in stamps attached, but the four or more ilavs travel in sicam-neaieu postal cars had spoiled the pullet for eating puriioscs and it was delivered to the city garbage crematory in Hist haste. Of such disposition of parcel Mist matter no record is kept, as the sender transmits the package at his own risk and the postollioc authorities are expected to use only the same care as is given other classes of in ml mat ter.

Members of the committee empha sized the majority sentiment in favor of free meats and a strong trend to ward free cattle in accord with the general policy of Democrats last year to transfer the necessities of life, in cluding sugar and lumber, to the free list. Trotest against putting cattle and meats on the free list was made by S. H. Cowan, of Fort Worth, Tex., as spokesman for the cattle industry west of the Mississippi river.

State Capitol, Salem A bill was in troduced by Representative Latour ette, of Multnomah, providing for the repeal or section 1541 of chapter 9, title 28, of Lord's Oregon laws, relat ing to evidence and false pretense. This section provides that no evidence shall be considered in an action for fraud which docs not relate to state ments made in writing. If it is re pealed evidence relating to oral state-1 ments may he considered as well. The operation of this section is a pro tection for "crooks." To Protect Wage Workers. Salem Drastic provisions are con tained in a bill which will be intro duced by Senator J. C. Smith, of Jo sephine, early in the next week of the session.
