Much Debate on School law.
OLYMPIA, "Wash.. Feb. 30. (Special.)
The House trill be afforded an opportunity
to act again on the Easterday anti-trust
bill. This mornlnc Roth's motion to re
consider was carried and on Easterday's
suggestion the matter went over until
Mnnflnv for final action. Easterday in
approving of Roth's motion eaid that he
-wished to make It plain to every mem
ber exactly what he was voting on and
had no desire to "buffalo" any one into
votlrnr on something they did not under
etand. He wished them to take plenty of
time to figure out the bill, ana asKea tnem
tide. In support of his point. Senator
Tolman ticdurcd a precedent made in the
Senate two years ago. where ijovernoi
McBrlde. as president of the Senate, had
ruled that the Legislative reapportion
ment bill could be immediately transmit
ted to the House, notwithstanding the
fact that notice of a motion to reconsider
had been given. Tolman pointed out that
this rullnsr of Governor McBrlde had been
appealed from, and that the Senate had
sustained the decision of the chair.
Senator Graves taunted Senator Rands
with having voted at that time to sus
tain the decision of the chair.
I know, though." continued Graves,
that the Senator from Clark, like a ma
jority of this Senate, holds to the doc
trine that consistency is not a Jewel."
A wise man changes his mina,' reion-
ed Rands. "You know the rest."
Finally the president overruled .101
man'i point of order, and held Palmer's
motion to reconsider in order.. Tolman
appealed, but the Senate sustained Smith's
ruling. The motion to reconsider prevailed
by a vote of 24 to 14.
Senator Baker moved to inaenniiejy
postpone the bill. There was no debate,
nnrt ih motion n re vailed by a vote of
to 16. with four absent. The Senate passed
to consider the recent action of Judge " u. J Wdefcwtalch
callni their attention to the fact that
both houses of the Legislature had passed
a memorial approving of the attitude of
President Roonevclt regarding trusts, ana
that the President was now threatening
an extra session of Congress unless anti
trust legislation was taken up. He also
passed a few bouquets to the. members
who were inclined to be distrustful of his
bill, but who had introduced less sweep
ing measures covering lines in which they
were not Interested, but falling to men
tion those in which they were.
Cameron objected to the reconsideration
of the bill, as he said it was a good meas
ure and should become a law.
Merill. the chief objector yesterday
said it was the "most momentous measure
ever oermltted to slin through the House."
Le-v of King, fearing that the first
hour of the session would slip by without
his havlne an oDnortunlty to be heard.

DELEGATION AT BOISE BOOSTING
PROPOSED BOOM BILL.
Citizens Are Greatly Incensed at G.
W. Thompson for Ills Opposition
to the Measure.
BOISE. Idaho, Feb. 20. (Special.) The
Lewis ton delegation was very active to
day. During the day they had several
consultations with G. W. Thompson, of
Lewlston. whose opposition to their boom
bill, now pending in the Senate, has great
ly Incensed the people of Lewlston and
the delegation of business men from there
now in the city. During the day It was
stated that one reason for the Intensity
of the feeling against Mr. Thompson In
Lewlston was that he had been sent here
to represent the people there, and that a
fund had been raised something like 11000
to defray his expenses.
Naturally, said members of the delega
tion, when it was learned he had 'arrayed
himself against the measure the town
most wanted., and moreover had inspired
the introduction of a bill tnat, they said,
if passed, would blight the hopes of that
section of ever having a great lumber
ing enterprise started there, the people.
feature in the bill is that It prohibits all
persons from treating or giving away any
Intoxicating beverage in any saloon or

Mayor Staley today Issued a proclama

for a period of 15 days. This action was
taken after the City Council had can
vassed the situation and decided It was
unsafe longer to prmlt public meetings,
owing .to the prevalence of scarlet fever,
measles and smallpox.
A special policeman has been appointed
to assist Marshal Raymlller to keep all

It shall be the duty ot the Legislature to pass

companies havinr or hereafter acquiring fran

charge, any state, county or municipal officer

ness.
H. B. 1L which has been pretty fully
explained In The Oregonian as the Quinn
bill, intended to take the election or su
perior and Supreme Court Judges out of
polities, was the first on the calen
dar this morning. It had been so
thoroughly threshed out that no discussion
was made, except the customary remarks
by Levy of King. He again rebuked Mr.
Quinn for daring to come here as one of
the minority party and ask the Kepubit
cans to pass a law affecting elections.
Even the opposition of Levy failed to
rave the bill, however, and It was lost
by a vote of S3 to 4S, with 13 absent or not
voting. The House then passed, under
nusoenslon of the rules. House bill 197,
by Brewer of Chehalis, amending the
tideland act so that a buyer who had be.
eomf. dellnauent In 'payments and lost
the land could again come In as a buyer
and have the amount previously paid
credited on the second purchase. The Jones
bill establishing truant schools In cities
of 10,000 Inhabitants was also passed, un
der suspension of the rules.
The afternoon session of nearly three
hours was taken up in reading and dis
cussing House bill 65, a measure correct
ing and amending the school law. There
were nearly 10,000 words in the bill, and
progress was slow. The only debate was
over an amendment which makes Me
morial day a legal school holiday. On
this point Gunderson, Ranck, Ralne and
a number of others spoke In favor, while
Eaeterday, Gleason and others opposed it
on the ground that Instead of school chll
drcn taking part In the beautiful exer
cises which are a part of their school
work on that day, they would devote the
day to pleasure. The amendment earned,
and, on the plea from Easterday that some
of the members had voted under a mls
understanding of the case, the vote was
raconsldered. It resulted In the amend.
ment carrying by a vote of 30 to 27.
Between sections of the bill Mr. Levy,
of King, rose to a question of personal
nrlvllese. He stated that he had been
assailed In print by a certain newspaper
man and vilified and termed a low
comedian. He said the reason for the
attack was his failure to contribute money
to the representative or the mlsrepre
eentative of the press. He notified the
House that he would rather be a low
comedian than a high sucker. His pref
erence thus expressed was1 accepted by
the House, and appears in the minutes of
the session.
The House passed Senate bill 199, ap
propriating J500 for the celebration of the
K)th anniversary of territorial organiza
tion.
At tho conclusion of the reading of the
educational bill an attempt was made to
suspend tho rules and pass the measure.
but there were bo many of the members
absent that this was not assented to.
Mr. Cameron presided at the afternoon
session with dignity and affability.
IX THE SENATE.
Resolution Passed Aalclns; Congress
to Pass Anti-Trust Legislation.
OLYMPIA, Feb. 20. (Special.) The Sen
ate this morning passed the Roosevelt
memorial Instructing the representa
tives In both branches of Congress
to support the President in anti-trust
legislation. It went through without a
dissenting vote, although some of the
.friends of Cushman and Foster seem to re
gard it as not exactly complimentary to
them on account of their attitude on Cu
ban reciprocity and the sugar tariff.
The Senate reconsidered the vote by
which it passed House bill 21, and this
time it was lost and afterward Indefinitely
postponed. The bill provides that ali mat
ter relating to the selling, leasing, or
making of contracts, concerning real
etate belonging to a city or the granting
of franchises or special privileges, shall
be submitted to the people for vote upon
petition of 25 per' cent of the qualified
voters of such city. The reconsideration
of the bin was not accomplished without
a spirited discussion of parliamentary law.
The bill was passed by the Senate ,Wed
nesday, and at that time Palmer of King
gave notice that he would move for a re
consideration. Later a motion was passed
transmitting all bills passed that day to
the House. This was done under suspen-,
sion or tne rules.
Senator Palmer made his motion for re
consideration this morning, and Senator
Tolman, of Spokane, at once made the
point that the bill had been transmitted
to the House, and, being no longer. In the
custody ot the senate, could not be re
considered. It then developed that Sec
retary Lysons, owing to Palmer having
given notice of reconsideration, had not
transmitted the bill to the House along
with the others, and that It was still
In the Senate.
There was a long discussion of parlia
mentary law on Senator Tolman's point of
order. SenatorsGraves, Crow, Moultray
and Moore supported the point of order.
and contended that the time had gone by
when the Senate could reconsider. Vande

Merchant Who1 Was Fined for Dis
playing Goods on Sidewalk.
PORTLAND, Feb7l9. To the Editor.)
Believing The Oregonlan's intentions are
to treat all Justly. I desire to correct
eome false statements In today's Oregon-
Ian, In regard to making a display of
friut on the sidewalk, and having to pay
33 fine in consequence, after being
'warned repeatedly," and "not heeding
the warning," as Officer Caswell makes
out.
In the first place I was "warned" but
once, and not "repeatedly, two weens
ago, and at once removed my goods to
within the property line, my building not
being built on ,a line with the street, and
itandlng a number of Inches farther bacK
than the buildings on cither side.
On this space I had a few boxes ana
kegs and not "oranges and nuts," as
Officer Caswell stated in -court.
I thought I had a right to use the
property for which I am paying rent.
Chief of Police Hunt holding the same
opinion. Such, however, does not seem
to be the case, I having taken particular
pains to ask the court what the result
would be If the front set back three feet,
and receiving answer that I would have
no right to use the space in front of tho
building set back three feet or any other
distance. How is this for markets that
have no fronts; Is It all sidewalk?
In conclusion I would like to ask Special
Officer Caswell why he does not cause the
show cases In front of various large es
tablishment projecting out over tha.
walk 12 to IS Inches to be removed? Is

American Medicine.
At a conference of health officers ot
many states, held at Washington this
week under the presidency of Surgeon-
General Wyman, the chief topic of discus
sion was the danger of the sDreadof bu
bonic plague throughout the Unlted'states
because of the action of the State Board
of Health of California and the city gov
ernment of San Francisco. Tha whole
profession and country have stood aghast
at the shame and ignominy whereby the
existence of plague at San Francisco has
been concealed and denied. Dr. Glennon.
sent to San Francisco by the Surgeon
General to Investigate and report upon
the facts, telegraphs that 93 cases of the
disease have occurred in the city six in
whites, four in Japanese and S3 In Chi
nese. Of 22 dead rats found In Chinatown,
11 were infected. The following was part
of a resolution passed by the conference:
"The gravity of the situation-Is greatly
Increased by the gross neglect of official
duty by the State Board of Health of
California and the obstructive Influences
of the recent Governor of California, by
the failure of the city government of San
Francisco to support Its City Board of
Health, and by the obstacles opposed to
the operations of the. United States public
health service.

villages where every resident's affairs
are pretty well known to everybody else.
It was no secret, therefore, that Mrs.
Jennette Wllber led an unhappy life
and had wished for death as a relief
from her suffering. "For twenty-five
years I was tortured with indigestion,"
ehe says, "but now I am well, thanks to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I have told
all my friends of the almost miraculous
way in which I was cured.
Every one in the village knows of
my long sickness. After each meal gas
would form in my stomach and cause
me great distress. So great was my
suffering that I thought many times it
would be a relief to die. Of course- I
was treated by the best doctors In our
section, but the help they give me was
only temporary. I was very careful ot
my diet, bul as I became worse I had
difficulty in retaining the simplest food.
in fact the smell of food often nause
ated me. One day I raw Dr. Williams'
Pink, Pills for Pale People mentioned in
a newspaper, and, although I had tried
many medicines without being; bene
flted, I decided to try them. I knew
that my case, being of long standing,
could not be cured In a day, and I gave
the pill a thorough trial. I began to
Improve slowly after taking the first
box, and In a few months I was entirely
free from Indigestion and could eat any
thing I wanted. Since that time I have
been troubled but once, when I became

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills again and wa
soon entirely well."
Any one having Indigestion or dys
pepsia can be cured If Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People are given a
sufficient trial. These pills act, not on
the symptoms, but cm the cause of dis
eases arising from Impoverished blood
or shattered nerves. They cure partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. yitus
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headache, after-effects of the grip, pal
pitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions and all forms of weakness.

the disgrace. If Surgeon-General Wyman
has not the power, it should be supplied
by the President of the United States.
