RAILROADS ON FIGHT
Will Not Submit to Cut in
Washington Rates.
COURTS WILL BE RESORTED TO
Korthern Pacific, Great Northern
and. O. B, &. N. So State Regard
ing the Hoienhanpt Bill, "Which
Reduces Charges on Grain.
OLT3IPIA, "Wash., Feb. 14. The House
committee on railroads held a public ses
sion tonight, and listened to arguments.
toy the railroad counsel against the Rosen
haupt maximum-tfate bill. The roads
were represented by W. W. Cotton, coun
sel for the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company; B. 6. Grosscup, counsel for the
Northern Pacific, and "Will H. Thompson,
counsel for the Great Northern.
After entering into a technical discus
sion of the rate situation from a railroad
standpoint, all three of the counsel made
the statement that the roads -would not
submit to the reduction proposed In the
Rosenhaupt bill, which reduces the rate
on grain products from $4 25 per ton to
$3 50 from Spokane to tidewater, without
stubborn resistance In the courts. They
declared that any reduction would be en
tirely unacceptable, and unwarranted, and
that they believed that the courts, after
proper showing, would so determine. Such
a showing, they stated, would be made in
case of a reduction, and the matter would
be left to the courts for settlement. All
of the counsel contended that a mistake
was made In 1S97 In consenting to any
reduction. They further declared that the
concession was made at that time only
on the understanding that the agitation
for lower rates would cease an agree
ment which, they said, had not been
lived up to by the shippers. Attorney
Grosscup refused to answer a question
concerning the number of men In the
railroad lobby In this city, or the salary
paid to them. He gave it as his opinion
that the question was not asked in good
faith, and that it was a matter which did
not concern the committee.
CANNOT PULL TOGETHER,
Fierce Internal Klght Handicap
Pierce County Legislation.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 14. The Pierce
County (Tacoma) delegation is laving a
fierce Internal light that does nit augur
well for the success of such legislation mi
It is interested In. In addition to the
troubles of the delegation, the Tacoma
newspapers are denouncing the members,
and accusing some of them of disloyalty
to Tacoma.
To start with all five of the Pierce
County Senators have been allied with
the railroads in the fight upon the Pres
ton bill. Senator Warburton, to whomj
. .... U3lt;u A(UUltlU t) tiflH 1U1 lilt.
capltol removal, claims that he had an
understanding with the railroad people
that Tacoma was not to be traded oft to
secure votes against the Preston measure.
He claims that this agreement was not
lived up to, and that, on the contrary,
he was "double-crossed" and traded
oft.
When Piper and Paulhamus made their
sensational play to have the action on
the Preston bill reconsidered, Warburton
was ready to join with them in order to
hold the railroads up on the capltol prop
osition. Senator Stewart was ready to
join also, but Senator Davis, whose vote
was necessary to make the move effective,
stood with the roads, and refused to vote
for reconsideration. The scheme fell
through. Then the Tacoma Ledger came
out In glaring headlines and announced
that "Link" Davis was a traitor to Ta
coma. Senator Hamilton, who Is the closest
man to the railroads on the Pierce Coun
ty delegation, will. If the Wllshlre reap
portionment bill passes, be legislated out
of public life, for the reason that his
district will be abolished. It Is now
claimed that Warburton, who does not
like Hamilton, is quietly aiding the
scheme to "do up" Hamilton.
Nobody believes any more that the cap
ltol removal bill will be passed. No
body will dispute, however, that Warbur
ton has made a good fight for it. War
burton Is very bitter towards Attorney
Grosscup, of the Northern Pacific, who
Is a sort of political boss in Tacoma.
Warburton accuses Grosscup of being the
man who Jobbed him, and the Tacoma pa
pers claim that Grosscup has not only
jobbed Warburton, but that he has
thrown down his home city in doing so.
A bill Is pending before the Legislature
to create the office of state bank ex
aminer. The duties of this official, If
created, will be to exercise practically the
same supervision over the hanks
that a Federal examiner does jvr Na
tional banks. Two year" " a 3ill creat
ing such an office was Inrrn'1"v.ed. it is
claimed that It was drun.i on radical
lines, and the banks promised that if It
were not pressed that they would consent
to the passage of a milder bill this time.
Whatever this bargain was, there are
hints that the banks vlll strenuously
oppose the passage of the bill at this ses
sion. Some of the bankers have already
been here, and they have succeeded In de
laying action by the House banking com
mittee for the present at least. Efforts
to force the passage of the bill are be
ing made, however, and they may suc
ceed. Some of the House clerks have pro
tested vigorously against the statement
In Sunday's Oregonlan to the effect that
a majority of them were merely pension
ers on the state's bounty, and that they
were not rendering value received for
their more or less lucrative salary.
There Is no occasion to withdraw the
remarks made upon the subject, although
It Is Just to be specific, and to say that
no reference was Intended to reflect on
the efficiency of the desk clerks. It was
the House committee clerkship graft
which the correspondent had reference to.
The truth Is that through political pull
of one sort and another the House has
an Its pay rolls about twice or three
times . as many clerks as it has any
earthly use for, and that a majority of
those clerks do not even pretend to earn
their salaries.
As stated before, the climax of the
whole business came late last week, when
three of the House members, by terroriz
ing Chairman Stocking, of the engrossing
committee, on the capltol bill, .forced
him to give their daughters places as
engrossing clerks. At the same time a
resolution was adopted Increasing the'
salary of the committee on Judiciary's
clork from $4 to J6 per day, and dating
the Increase back to the beginning of
the session. State Auditor Atkinson re
fused to audit this account, and held that
an increase could begin only from the
time It was made.
Wednesday night the Republican House
cauclis. In very shame, adopted a reso
lution that It would permit no further
Increases in salaries, but it took no ac
tion toward discharging any of the nu
merous clerks It now has.
It seems to be the consensus of opinion
among the Republican leaders that no
Congressional reapportionment bill will
be passed It seems Impossible to draft
a bill without more or less flagrant ger
rymandering that will Insure the carry
ing of all three districts by the Repub
licans. Therefore, the conservative lead-
era feel like having the state's three
Congressmen elected at large, for the
present at least..
IN THE SENATE.
BUI to Reform Medlcnl Laws Passed
After "Warm Debate.
OLTMPIA. Wash., Feb. 14. In the Sen
ate this morning, a bill by Rands, to
wipe out the T1000 personal property
exemption from execution, provoked a
long discussion. The bill has been amend
ed In the judiciary committee so as to
leave a $500 exemption, aside from all
specific exemption. Crow of Whitman,
Garber of Lincoln, and Land of King
made a vigorous fight for this amend
ment, and when It was voted down, fili
bustered against the bllL They were
defeated and the bill was sent to the
engrossing committee.
The committee on state charitable In
stitutions reported favorably on a bill to
create a board of five members to visit
each Institution.
A bill by Mantz to prevent the organi
zation and operation of trusts in the
state was reported back without recom
mendation. Land of King Introduced a bill to es
tablish a school of mines In the State
University.
Hemrlch's bill, to cede to the City of
Seattle the snore lands around Lake
Washington for boulevard purposes, was
passed.
The Tolman railroad commission bill
was made a special order for next Tues
day. At the afternoon session of the Senate,
Brown's House bill, which alms to re
form the medical laws of the state, was
passed after an Interesting debate. Sen
ator Biggs, who is a physician, moved to
strike out that section which protects
osteopaths In the practice of their call
ing, and made a speech In support of his
motion In which he described the os
teopaths as "cayuses who have learned
to rub a spine." Senator Crow of Spo
kane suggested that "cayuse" was an In
appropriate name, and Dr. Biggs prompt
ly retorted, "Well, they eat hay, any
how." Senator Hallett, of Spokane, re
fused to support the bill unless he was
assured that mldwlves were exempted
from Its operations. Dr. Biggs caused
roars of laughter by Interjecting, "Yes,
that's right, the gentleman should not
vote for any bill which affects him per
sonally. However, I can assure him. that
the wise women are exempt from the pro
visions of the bill." Biggs' anti-osteopath
amendment was finally adopted, and
the bill was passed as amended, Preston
and Hallett voting against It. Cornwell,
Land, Reser and Moultray sat in their
seats and did not answer when their
names were called. A jocular effort was
made to compel Senator Moultray to
vote, and he escaped only by stepping
outside the Senate rail.
The Senate concurred in tho House
amendments to Cornwell's bill defining
the misdemeanor of tampering with a
witness.
IN THE HOUSE.
Move to Investigate Rogers and Mo
Gravr Administrations.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 14. In the
House this morning Merrltt Introduced a
resolution providing for an appropriation
of $5000 to Investigate the administrations
of Gogernor Rogers and ex-Governor
McGraw. The work. It Is provided, is to
bee done under the supervision of a com
mittee to be composed of three members
of the House and two of the Senate. It
is a political move, Merrltt acting for
the Democrats.
The Republicans, at a caucus last night,
decided to Investigate the last fusion ad
ministration, and to appropriate $3000 for
the same. Merrltt succeeded In slipping
in his resolution before that of the Re
publicans, which was Introduced at the
afternoon session. As a result, the Re
publicans of the House are placed In a
position of being compelled to -vote down
the Merrltt resolution, or, In other words,
refusing to allow the administration of
Governor McGraw to be Investigated.
The foresight of the Democrats, from a
political standpoint, was admitted by the
shrewd members of tho House and Sen
ate. Merrltt of Spokane Introduced a bill
providing for holding state fairs alter
nately at Yakima, Spokane, Whitman,
and Walla Walla, and appropriating $10,
000 to be spent In premiums. The counties
will be expected to bear all other expen
ses. Thompson of Kitsap introduced a bill
providing for the construction of a state
road from Kitsap County to Hood Canal,
and appropriating $15,500 for the work.
The bill creating a new county to be
called Riverside, out of portions of Klick
itat and Yakima Counties, passed this
afternoon. A very acrimonious debate
was precipitated by the bill. The vote on
final passage stood 43 to 31. A motion to
reconsider will be made.
Dawes of King Introduced a Republican
caucus resolution providing for the inves
tigation of conduct of state officers for
the past four years.
Cancns on Reapportionment BUI.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 14. A caucus
of the Republican members of the Senate
has been called for Monday night to con
sider the question of legislative apportion
ment. An endeavor will be made- to form
ulate a reapportionment bill on Republi
can lines, although the prospects now do
not Indicate anything except an Intermin
able wrangle on the question. No bill
will be reported by the committee having
the matter In charge until after the cau
cus Is held.

Provides for $45,000 Appropriation
and Important Changes in
the Military Code.
SALEM. Or. Feb. 14. Poorman's mllltla

termaster-General. Paymaster-General,
Chief of Ordnance, and has additional
work pertaining to the records of the
Oregon volunteers, etc.
The- present strength of the mllltla Is
1300 officers and men, and the naval mll
ltla 124 officers and men, making a total
of 1432.
The most important changes from the
old law, contained in the new act, are as
follows:
Military Code.
Section 2 takes the place of sections 2,
3 and 4 of the present law, and provides
that the military census shall be taken
only every 10 years, beginning in 1905,
when the state census Is taken. Instead
of making up a military roll yearly, which
change, it Is stated, will save $4000 per
year.
Section 11 Is amended, giving the As
sistant Adjutant-General the grade of
Lieutenant-Colonel, Instead of Major.
Section 14 provides that all engineer of
ficers shall be appointed from persons ed
ucated as civil or military engineers.
Surgeons and assistant surgeons shall be
of good repute, licensed to practice, and
graduates of some incorporated school of
medicine. The surgeons are omitted In
sections enumerating staff officers for the
reason that a special medical department
Is provided for at length In section 77,
which is:
"The medical department shall consist
of the Surgeon-General, one surgeon of
the grade of Lieutenant-Colonel, three
surgeons of the grade of Major, six assist
ant surgeons, three of the grade of Cap
tain and three of the grade of First Lieu
tenant, and of a hospital and ambulance
corps, to consist of the hospital steward,
the litter-bearers assigned to regimental
and battalion organizations."
The following addition is made to sec
17, of the law: "In the event of a call
being made by the President of the United
States for this state to furnish troops for
the service of the United States, organiza
tions of the Oregon National Guard shall
be preferred, and used In all cases In
complying with such call."
Section IS Is amended to Include the
naval battalion among those to be con
sidered deserters If they do not respond
when ordered Into actual service.
Oregon National Gnnrd.
Section 20 Is amended to make pro
vision for the naval reserve, the com
panles of infantry being cut down propor
tionately, and the minimum strength of a
company Is fixed at 40, Instead of 36 non
commissioned officers and privates.
Section 20 is entirely new, as follows:
"The uniform, organization, discipline
and Instruction of the naval mllltla shall
conform as nearly as possible to that of
the Navy of the United States, and the
members thereof shall be governed by the
provisions of the military code of the
state, and such regulations as the military
board may prescribe."
Section 22 Is: "The field officers of a regi
ment shall be one Colonel, one Lieutenant-Colonel,
and to each organized bat
talion one Major. The regimental staff
shall consist of one Adjutant, one Quar
termaster, one commissary of subsistence,
one Inspector or rifle practice and one
chaplain, each of the grade of Captain."
Section 23 Is: "A separate battalion of
from two to four comnanies will be com
manded by a Major; when composed of
five or six companies, by a Lieutenant
Colonel, and shall have as staff officers
one adjutant, one quartermaster, one com
missary of substlstence, one inspector of
rifle practice, each of the grade of First
Lieutenant."
Section 25 provides that a Commander-in-Chief
may discharge a commissioned
officer for a number of reasons which are
stated. The Commissary-General Is added
to the Mlltary Board and three members
of the board constitute a quorum.
Officers shall receive $30 and mounted
officers $40 for uniforming and equipping
themselves, after having been a year In
the service, etc
Justice courts are given Jurisdiction In
case of the unlawful disposal of a
uniform, arms, etc
Companies of Infantry are allowed $500
annually instead of $300, and each troop
of cavalry and battery' ?600 Instead of
$300 for military expenses, and It Is also
provided that the fund shall continue to
be a part of the military fund until ex
pended by tho officer.
This latter addition Is made because
the Circuit Court of Baker County de
cided that funds turned over to a Cap
tain for the expenses of his company
cease to be public funds. In view of the
Increase, the allowance of $5 per man
present at Inspections In excess of the
minimum has been stricken out.
Military Courts.
The military courts shall be courts of
Inquiry, general courts-martial, delin
quency courts, which are of two kinds,

five officers, three of whom shall consti
tute a quorum, and shall be ordered by
the Commander-in-Chief.
When an officer or enlisted man shall
be put under arrest, he shall receive a

court be not ordered with 30 days, his
Hfc
arrest shall cease, but such charges may
be served and the person be brought to

DAUGHTERS OF REVOLUTION
Interesting Development Expected
at the Next Meeting.
NEW YORK, Feb. 14. The session of
the Congress of the Daughters of the
Revolution In Washington next week
promises some interesting and lively de
velopments. The members of the board
contend that the president-general must
be the wife of a man holding office under
the National Government. The wife of
a President of the United States Is pre
ferred, but Mrs. McKInley Is not an office
seeker. Mrs. Roosevelt, the next choice,
declined the honor. The members of the
executive board settled upon Mrs. Charles
W. Fairbanks, wife of Senator, Fairbanks,
of Indiana, as their candidate.
With her it is hoped to defeat Mrs.
McLean. She has been a- member of the
organization since It was formed, and has
an extensive acquaintance, but Is opposed
to the centralization policy. As the regent
of the largest and mpst harmonious chap
ter In the country, she has a natural
leaning toward local self-government.
There Is a third candidate, who was se
lected to oppose Mrs. McLean early in the
campaign, before Mrs. Fairbanks was
brought forward. Mrs. Washington A.
Roebllng, who was to draw strength from
her connection with the Women's Clubs,
was named for the office.
Mrs. McLean, accompanied by Mr. Mc
Lean and their daughter, will go to
Washington today. Mrs. Fairbanks Is al
ready In the field, and Mrs. Roebllng will
be there before the fray begins. A large
delegation of McLean partisans will go
from this city.

MRS. NATION INURT
ON TRIAL FOR DESTROYING TO
PEKA SALOON PROPERTY.
Entered a Plea of Guilty, So the Case
Could he Tried on Its
Merits.
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 14. At 2 o'clock
this afternoon, Judge McCabe, of the
City Court, called the cases of the state
vs. Mrs. Carrie Nation, charged with de
stroying property. Mrs. Nation was ar
rested on complaint of the owners of
the Senate saloon, which she and four
other women wrecked. The courtroom
was crowded with spectators on the main
floor and In" the gallery, but Mrs. Nation
was not to be found. Her lawyer, J. M.
Dumcnlt, was rather excited, but assured
the court that his client would be on hand
very soon. Judge McCabe said that as tho
case had been set for 2 o'clock, he was
ready to take It up and that the case
must 'proceed. Rev. F. W. Emerson vol
unteered tlje Information that Mrs. Nation
had gone out to dinner and would be
back sjon. Assistant County Attorney
Jamison, who ha3 charge of the prosecu
tion, announced that he would wait a
few moments and In the meantime would
call his witnesses, Mike Kelly, "Shep"
Little, Harry Jackson, Ben Mulholland
and George Stambaugh; for the defense
Probate Judge Eagan, Chief of Police
Stahl, F. C. Carpenter, Mrs. James
White, Mrs. George Woolverton and Miss
Madeline Southward. Mrs. Nation's attor
ney entered a motion to quash.
At 2:15, Mrs. Nation entered the court
room and made her way through the
crowd to her place at the table by her
lawyer. The crowd applauded; Mrs. Na
tion smiled and bowed, but said not a
word. The crowd continued to applaud
and Judge McCabe demanded order and
called upon the Marshal to preserve quiet.
Lawyer Dumenlt argued his motion to
quash on the ground that the complaint
was not properly drawn. Mrs. Nation
could keep quiet no longer and rose to
her feet.
"Your Honor," commenced Mrs. Nation.
"Quiet," ordered Judge McCabe.
"But that does not make any differ
ence," continued Mrs. Nation.
"You will have to keep still," said the
court. "This trial will be conducted like
any other case and quiet must be main
tained. The Marshal will keep order. I
overrule the motion. Do you plead guil
ty or not guilty?"
"Not guilty," said Mrs. Nation's attor
ney. Mlko Kelly, one of the proprietors of tho
Senate, was the first witness called.
"What did you own of the property
which was broken?" asked Jamison.
"A cash register, valued at $100, and
glasses," was Kelly's inswer.
"Do you know the property was brok
on on February 5?"
"Yes; it was all broken up."
"When did you see It?"
"In the morning."
"How did you find It?"
"I found It all broken and scattered
around the room when I came In."
Kelly was cross-examined to some ex
tent by Mrs. Nation's attorney but noth
ing new was brought out. Kelly was
mado to say that he had been arrested
several times on the charge of selling
liquor. He claimed, however, that the
cash register smashed by Mrs. Nation
was kept to receive the receipts of the
poolroom and sales of soda water and
cigars.
After a conference between the attor
neys. It was agreed that Kelly should
admit that he was running a saloon and
that Mrs. Nation should plead guilty to
smashing It. This was done and now the
case will be argued on Its merits, as to
whether "Joint" property Is entitled to the
protection of the law. They so indicated
to the court and next Monday afternoon
was set as the time for hearing the ar
guments and deciding the case. The line
of Mrs. Nation's defense Is that she, as
a private citizen, had a right to abate a
nuisance after the officers had failed tc
do so.
Mrs. Nation appeared to be utterly un
concerned throughout the trial. She
leaned over the table occasionally and
talked in a cheery fashion with her ac
cusers, and they answered in the utmost
good nature. She appeared to be relieved
when the trial was over, as she was
very tired as a result of her Chicago trip.
This did not prevent the people In the
courtroom from greeting her, and she
held an Impromptu reception for several
minutes after the adjournment of the
case. Mrs. Nation was not so tired but
that she could see all that was going on,
and she commanded some men to stop
smoking aa she emerged from the court
room. Mrs. Nation has not lost a bit of her
popularity since her visit to Chicago.
She Is followed wherever she goes by the
same large crowds. People seem to have
much more respect for her than they had
before, and she has no difficulty what
ever In going about the streets. She ex
pects to be released, as a result of her
trial next Monday.
