SALEM, Jan. 23. Dan. J. Malarkey '
was elected president of the senate 1
and Clifton N. McArthur speaker of I
the house, as scheduled. Practically j
the only fight was carried on against I
Malarkey, although that developed!11"5 muuinaiueei at me uautia. ne
into a "tempest in a teapot ', and when
the votes were counted he had 25 out
of the possible 30 in the senate.
Both Malarkey and .McArthur reit
erated their desire for a business
session of the legisltaure. Malarkey,
who sat at his seat on the floor, as he
heard himself condemned in strong
terms by Joseph and Kellaher, follow-
" ing his being conducted to the chair,
m:irle a rtpfinitp r.tatpment in rosnnnso

pudiating the assertion in strong !
terms, and in this he was hacked hv I
his colleagues.
"I promised not a single place to
a single Senator before he gave me
his vote," asserted Mr. Malarkey. But
when it was apparent that I had 25
men promising me their votes I wish
ed to promote a business session of
the senate. I then asked the differ
ent senators to furnish me with their
individual preferences as to commit
teeships and I will place them on
committees where they can be of the
greatest service to the state."

On this, the first charge, the senate

ticles of impeachment, which charged

had improperly used his influence as
a judge.
Not guilty was the verdict on the
second article of impeachment, which
charged Judge Archbald with having
attempted to obtain a fee .by setting
a case between the Marion Coal Com
pany and the Deleware, Lackawanna
& Western Railroad. The vote was
46 to 25 in the Judge's favor. ;
On the third charge the senate
found Judge Archbald guilty. !

ARTHUR J. BURNS, PROPRIETOR,
RELEASED ON $500
BOND
j TRUE BILL BROUGHT AGAINST HIM
Automobile Accident in Which Womar.
Is Hurt, Leads to Obtaining .
Evidence Long
Sought
Arthur J. Burns, proprietor of the
Milwaukie Tavern, which Governor
West threatened to close with the aid
of the Oregon National Guard sever
al montns ago, was arrested Monday
night by Sneriff Mass and Deputy
Sneriff Eddy, and his place of bus
iness closed. Sheruf Mass locked
tne doors and barred the windows.
Burns was released upon providing a
bond of $500 and will be arraigned
betore Circuit Judge Campoell this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The tavern
keeper was -astonished ' when Sneriii
Mass served the bencn warrant upon
him, and declared that the county
had no jurisdiction in his case. He
said that he paid the municipality of
Milwaukie a license of $800 annually
to do business.
As a result of the automobile ac
cident near Milwaukie early Sunday
morning in which a woman was slight
ly injured evidence was obtained by
the Clackamas County grand jury
which caused the indictment of Burns
on a charge of conducting a nuisance.
It is alleged that Burns sold liquor at
the tavern after 12 o'clock Sunday
morning. Sheriff Mass and Deputy
Sheriff Eddy in an effort Monday to
learn the identity of the persons in
the automobile that plunged 30 feet
over an embankment were informed
that the law had been broken Sunday
morning at the tavern.
They found the barkeepers, Al Pike
and William Hurley at their homes in
Milwaukie, and the men, after being
Questioned, said the charge was true.
They were brought to this city and
immediately testified before the grand
jury. The men then went back to
the tavern to resume their duties.
Sheriff Mass learned that tne wom
an occupant o' -the car was Bessie
Day, of Portland, and that the man's
name is McCoy and he is a railway
contractor of Portland. It was de
clared that the party was on the way
to the Milwaukie tavern when the ac
cident occurred and that they after
ward went there. The driver of the
car was Harry M. Terry, son of W.
W. Terry, 607 Mulberry Street, Port
land. He has a stand at Sixth and
Washington Streets.
The Milwaukie tavern has been in
the public eye for more than a year,
and several months ago Governor
West, with a military company went
to the place and tore down a fence,
so a better view could be obtained
of the tavern. It was reported at the
time that he contemplated closing the
place but he did not do so.
MiLLlKEN CALLS CHURCH
- UNION HARD TASK
"Church Union" was the subject of
an interesting sermon delivered Sun
day night by Dr. W. T. Milliken, pas
tor of the First Baptist Church. The
edifice was crodwed and Dr.. Milliken
was given the closest attention. His
address had the following subheads:
"Union Defined"; "Difficulties''; "De
sirability" and "How Accomplished".
He said it was astonishing to note
the difference in administration cf
various churches, although all were
striving for the same ends. He de
clared that confusionmight be caused
should all churches in a union at
tempt to introduce too much personal
feeling into the laws that would form
a constitution in general.
"In short" said the minister, t'rf
the representatives of all faiths would
lay aside their creeds, confessions,
doctrines and set forms of church
government, upon which there is ir
reconcilable confusion, and sit down
with their bibles, eliminating all pri
vate interpretations, and take as
binding upon their people only those
things i& doctrine or practice, which
are positively there, there would soon
be union.'''
JURY GIVES HORSE
TO ORIGINAL OWNER
A jury in Circuit Judge Campbell's
court Monday rendered a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff in the suit of
Alva Smith, of Albany, against George
Brovn, of New Era, which involved
the ownership of a horse and colt
The plaintiff declared that a horse in
the possession of the defendant be
longed y him.. He said the horse
had wandered away from his place
almost two years ago. Mr. Smith
said that Fe had bought the horse,
paying for it about $175, and that
soon after he got possession of it the
colt was foiled. The plaintiff and
several of his friends identified the
animal. J. E. Hedges- represented the
plaintiff.

FAMILY IN PERIL
AS HOME BURNS
The home of W. M. Moore, on Mo- '
lalla Avenue, was destroyed by fire
Sunday evening between 10 and 11
o'clock. Clothing falling on a heated
stove is thought to have -caused the
fire. The occupants barely escaped
with their lives. When the fire was
discovered the beds on which Mr.
Moore and his three children were
sleeping were on fire and the occu
pants were forced to flee from the
house, clad in their night clothing.
Mr. Moore's wife died last Septem
ber, leaving him with five young child
ren. During the summer previous to
his wife's death Mr. Moore completed
the small cottage where he lived with
his family and, upon his wife's death
two of the children went to Califor
nia, where they are staying with their
grandmother. A movement was start
ed Monday by the Willamette Pulp &
Paper Company, where Mr. Moore is
employed, and by the St. Paul's Epis
copal Church, to provide food, cloth
iing and shelter for the unfortunate
family and by Monday evening a gen
erous number of useful articles had
been donated. Clothing and supplies
are still badly needed and any person
desiring to aid the unfortunate fom
ily can send donations to Rev. C. W.
Robinson, rector of St. Paul's Cnurch,
Officers recently elected by Catar
