Legislators Generally
Favor Extra Session,
THINK IT SHOULD BE SHORT
But Are Chary of Making Any
Pledges.-
GOVERNOR ASKS TOO MUCH
Lawmakers Say That Tax Muddle
Should Be Remedied at Once,
but Some Have Other
Pet Measures.
The majority of the members of the
Legislature of Oregon, who could be In
terviewed yesterday, are in favor of a
special session being called to remedy
the state tax law, and as the Governor
has left this matter to the legislators, an
extra session Is practically assured. But
as to whether the conditions placed upon
tho convening of the body, by Governor
Chamberlain, will be agreed to by the ma
jority, is doubtful. Tho prevailing opinion
appears to be that the chief executive is
asking too much when he asks the legis
lators to pledge themselves beforehand not
to take up any other business besides the
tax matter. The majority of the mem
bers are decidedly opposed to making any
such promises. In fact, some declare that
the governor in placing such conditions
upon the calling of the extra session. Is
playing a political game in which they
do not like to take a hand. While the
members object to making tho requested
pledge, they do not state they will refuse
to do so, and from the expressions given
it appears that there will be a sufficient
majority who will answer tho governor's
letter requesting a special session, re
gardless of the pledge, to make this extra
session an assured result. In view of
these facts, the much-talkcd-of session Is
confidently looked for. ,
Among the Multnomah County repre
sentatU es there Is a wide division of opin
ion relative to the right of Governor
Chamberlain to request the pledge he
does. Those representatives who could be
interviewed yesterday are about evenly
divided upon the matter. About half the
number express themselves as rather op
posed to the proposed plan of having the
legislators decide the matter and pledge
themselves to attend only to the reme
dying of the tax law. The other half of
tho delegation Is heartily in favor of the
governor's plan and agrees with him in
every detalL
From expressions of opinion, not given
for publication In detail, some of the legis
lators who are not in accord with the
Governor's views, consider his plan of
having the members of the Legislature
decide whether the extra session shall
be called, and to pledge themselves that
none but the tax matter will be handled,
as a clever political scheme to throw the
responsibility of the session upon the leg
islators and also to preclude the possi
bility of anything being done in the ses
sion that might cause the Democratic
Governor political discomfiture. These
men say that It, is tho prerogative of tho
Governor to call a special session, that as
a resident of Multnomah County he is as
well acquainted with the needs of this
county as any member of the Legislature,
and as the Governor is better acquainted
with the general condition of the state, and
if he thinks an extra session is needed, he
should call It and not shift the respon
sibility from his own shoulders to those
of the legislators, who must answer to
their constituents for their acts. They
do not care to commit themselves as to
barring all business" from the session ex
cept the tax measure, because, they say,
something of importance might develop
that would need urgent attention, and if
they went into the session pledged to at
tend to one matter alone, the. blame for
the neglect of the other business that
might arise would rest upon them, and
they would be powerless to redeem them
selves. Says Governor Is Shifting Burden.
"Tho Governor Is playing a foxy game,"
said one man in discussing the matter.
"Ho realizes the need of the session, but
ho doesn't want to assume the respon
sibility of calling, it. Apparently, he fears
that something might happen that would
tack trouble to his gubernatorial toga,
consequently he wants tho legislators to
say whether or noty'the session shall bo
called, and if it Is called to pledge them
selves, that they will attend to only the
one matter. Now there are other matters
of importance that might come up, and
if the legislators go Into tho session
pledged to leave them alone they would
be in. a nice position."
Despite the difference of views regard
ing tho Governor's method, the general
opinion appears to be that an extra, ses
sion is needed, and it is likely that the
majority of Multnomah's representatives
will request it Following are expressions
of opinion from representatives from this
county:
State Senator A. C. Smith I believo it
is advisable to hold a special session of
the Legislature. I think the plan of the
Governor to have only the one matter of
taxes attended to is a capital one. I
heartily agree with him in his plan.
State Senator John Daly I believe that
a special session should be called, and
that it should be for the sole purpose of
attending to the .tax matter. I am thor
oughly In sympathy with -the plan of the
Governor. It should not require more
than two or three days to conduct the
business In hand, and the expense of tho
session would be more than made up by
the benefit to the state.
State Senator H. B. McGinn I am In
favor of a special session being called
for the sole purpose of attending to the
tax matter. I believo that it should be
dono under a suspension of the rules and
that the matter in hand should be got at
as soon as possible.
State Senator George T. Myers In my
opinion an emergency exists for calling a
special session of the Legislature. I
think a special session. If called, ought
to confine itself to tho single business in
hand, namely, tax laws. I should not at
this time favor any proposition to enter
upon any other legislative business. Tho
whole thing ought not to require more
than two or three days.
Will Make No Reply.
State Senator F. P. Mays The Governor
lives here and knows the condition of
Portland and Multnomah County as well
as any member of the Legislature, and I
do not think that I shall make any reply
to his letter, because he Is as fully ad
vised as I, and, being Governor, should
bear the responsibility. I don't see that
we should assume all the responsibility.
I feel that we should ask him what he
thinks about tho matter, instead of him
asking us.
Representative A. A. Bailey It Js Im
material to me whether a special session
is -called or not; So far as the needs of
Multnomah County and Portland are con
cerned, the Governor knowsas much about
them as I do. He can use his own judg
ment. As for the condition of the resJL
of the state he is in a position to know
more than I.
Representative S. B. Cobb I am in full
accord with tho sentiments of the Gov
ernor. I think the Legislature should 'be
called for the remedial measure only, and
that no other matters should" bo taken
up.
Representative H. J. Fisher I feel the
necessity for a special session of the
Legislature, and I agree with the Gov
ernor that It should attend only to the
one matter of remedial legislation. I see
no necessity for any other matter com
ing up at that time.
Representative John GUI I think there
should be a special session, but I think
there is one other matter that should
como before it besides the tax measure.
That is the. matter of the Portage Rail
road. If the government Is going to con
struct the canal that is proposed, there
is no need of the portage road, and I
think the state should get back the $165,-
000 appropriated for that purpose. If this
matter might be attended to also, I think
the Governor's plan would be" all right. I
see no necessity! for a long session or
for attention being given to any other
matters besides these two.
Representative Wlllard M. Jones I
haven't been in town and am not in touch
with the situation. However, I think it's
the prerogative of the Governor to call a
special session of the Legislature, and
it is not a matter for the legislators to
determine.
Thinks Governors Plan Is Wise.
Representative George M. Orion I think
the Governor is wise in making, the provi
sio'n that only one matter shall be attend
ed to. So far as I know, there is only
one matter to be attended to. I think
that should be disposed of, and that the
session should end there.
Representative Dan J. Malarkey Per
sonally, the shorter the session the bet
ter it would suit me. As to expense, I
will vote against tho employment of any
committee clerks and against any expend
iture not indispensable to the proper
transaction of business. As now advised,
1 know of nothing requiring considera
tion but the tax matter. But I do not
feel that it is necessary or proper for mo
to now promise the Governor to oppose
tho consideration of anything else. Cir
cumstances might arise between today
and the convening of the session that
would make It advisable to consider
something else. I am not prepared to
say that I would be opposed to giving
legislative relief If. any could be given
and they demanded it to the farmera,
merchants and manufacturers of this
state who claim to be suffering so much
from the unfair treatment and unjust
discrimination of certain railroads.
Representative Sanderson Reed I have
not received any communication from tho
Governor yeti and I do not care to speak
about the matter at the present time.
J. S. Hutchinson I am In favor of call
ing a short session of the Legislature to
remedy the serious error in the Phelps
taxation bill. While the state would prob
ably not suffer If there should be no ses
sion and no levy of taxes the school dis
tricts, cities and counties of the state
would suffer greatly,, and In a way that
could not bo covered up. Tourists com
ing out here would readily see the condi
tions, and we could offer no satisfactory
explanation. I see no reason why we can
not hold a three-day session and then ad
journ without taking up other matters.
I am in favor of passing a resolution at
the opening of the session that the only
legislation that will be considered will bo
to remedy the error of tho Phelps bill.
We can pass such a resolution at the
start, and that will prevent other things
coming up. That Is the only way that we
could shut out other legislation. The
Governor might veto all bllla that might
come up and pass, but that would not
prevent the session being prolonged.
Expressions from legislators outside
Multnomah County are as follows:
Session Should Be Brief.
EUGENE, Or., Nov. 8. (Special.)
Members of the Legislature from, this
county when asked their views regarding
tho proposition of. the Governor to pledge
the members to confine their work to the
matter of remedying the defective assess
ment law, express themselves in terms
which indicate that they approve, the spirit
which prompts?the Governor's suggestion,
and heartily approve of a short session.
But as to the matter of giving pledges,
they Indicate that they might hesitate,
inferring that pledges should not be con
sidered necessary.
Dr. W. Kuykendall, senior Senator from
this county, said: "I think it would be
eminently proper for the Legislature to
make the contemplated special session a
very brief one. I think the idea of tho
Governor to confine the work to brief
limits is very good. But as to the matter
of making a pledge before a special ses
sion is called, I do not feel it incumbent
upon me to take any of the responsibility
from the Governor. I believe the members
of the Legislature can be depended upon
to confine themselves to very little lm-

THE X.OST VESSEL
The steamer Charles Nelson was built
at the yards of Hay & Wright, -In Ala
meda, In 1S0S. and was christened In
honor of her owner. She was a stanch
schooner-rigged craft of 1007 tons gross
and S02 tons net register. Her dimen
sions wero: Lencth, 100 feet; beam,
37.8 feet; depth of hold, 12.8 feet. She
was built for the coasting trade, and
since completion has run on nearly
everj- route from San Francisco north,
and has also made a number of trips
to Alaska.
On her last Inward voyage, she
brought general cargo from San Fran
cisco to the Frank Woolaey Company,
and loaded back -with lumber from
Westport. She had been engaged to
tow the bark Two Brothers to San
Francisco, but the crew of the latter
vessel refused to go down with her, and
she crossed out without the sailer at
noon, November 5.
ASTORIA, Nov. S. (Special.) The
steam schooner Charles Nelson, which
sailed from here on last Tuesday with
a cargo of 726.000 feet of lumber from
Westport to San Pedro, is a wreck at
soa, bub her passengers and jcrew, are
all saved.
News of the disaster was brought here
by Captain Thompson, of the tug Sea
Rover, which arrived today from San
Francisco to tow the ship Two Brothers
down the coast The Charles Nelson was
abandoned off Umpqua on Thursday night
In a waterlogged condition, and the pas
sengers and cretTj after being in two
small boats for 4S hours, were picked up
by the tug Sea Rover and a couple of
hours later were transferred to the col
lier Tltania, bound from Puget Sound for
San Francisco, where she should arrive
late tonight.
. Sea Rover Picks Them Up.
Just before noon yesterday the Nelson
was sighted by the Sea Rover and she
was then In tow of tho steam schooner
Aurelia, which left here on Friday for
San Francisco, but there is little chance
of hr. reaching port with her tow unless
conditions are exceptionally favorable.
Captain Thompson of the Sea Rover
gies the following account of the dis
aster and the rescue:
"At 7 o'clock yesterday morning we
were about 20 miles off Cape Arago. The
weather was clear with a heavy north
west swell and light wind. Two small
boats were sighted flying signals of dis
tress and we soon picked them up. find
ing that they contained the officers, pas
sengers and crew of the steam schooner
Charles Nelson.
Left in Two Boats!
Captain Gunderson was In charge of
one boat containing 18 people, and the
mate had charge of tho other, with 16
on board. As soon as we got them on
board we gave them warm food and
dry clothing as best we could, as all
were badly exhausted and one woman,
wife of -the steward, was In a state of
utter collapse. Captain Gunderson, of the
Charles Nelson, gave me the account of
his experience as follows:
" We crossed the Columbia River bar
at noon on Tuesday and on Wednesday
night struck a severe storm that by the
following morning had Increased -to a
gale. Wfr wero then off Umpqua. The
schooner labored hard and soon began to
leak badly, and after ono of the pumps
became choked, the chief engineer noti
fied me that he could not keep her
clear, so I put the schooner before the
wind and started to throw off the deck
load, but the seas took possession and
swept It all overboard, together with the
Samson post, which broke the deck
open.
An Awful Experience.
" 'That evening (Thursday) we took to
the boats, I taking 17 In one boat ind
the mate 15 in the other Wo stayed in
the vicinity of the schooner all night,
and It was a frightful experience.
" When daylight came the vessel had
settled at until tho stern was com
pletely submerged. We then abandoned
her and started down the coast with a
view of making some harbor. By an
agreement with the mate the two boats
kept together and before leaving the
schooner wo took plenty of provisions
and water.
" 'Friday night wo sighted a steam
schooner and steered for her, but she
passed by without seeing us. That night
was another severe one, and we sighted
no other vessels until the Sea Rover
came and picked us up.'
"About two hours after picking up the
two boats we sighted the collier Tltania
on the way to San Francisco, and at
Captain Gunderson's request ho and his
crew and passengers wero placed on
board herl"
When the Charles Nelson was sighted
ln tow of the Aurelia by the tug Sea
Rover, she was high in the bow and
stood upright, but her stem was under
water. The" aft hatch had been carried
away and lumber was being washed from
It, but tho forward batch was still in
tact. ,
Hangs on to the Prize.
Captain Thompson T offered to take
charge of the derelict If tho Aurelia
would abandon her, but the offer was
refused. Captain Thompson is doubtful
if the Aurelia will be able to tow the
wreck Into port unless the weather con
ditions are exceptionally favorable, as the
line being used is a small one.
Deck Load Opened Seams.
The loss of the vessel Is attributed
solely to the deck load, which worked
as the steamer labored In the sea, tear
ing out the stanchions and opening up
the deck, Into which the water poured
as the seas came over the vessel.
The statement Is made by the first
officer of the Sea Rover that tho Nel
son's crew stayed with the ship manfully
until all hope had gone, and then joined
the passengers -In the boats.
List of the Passengers.
The Charles Nelson's passengers, as list
ed at the office of her Portland agents, the
Frank Woolsey Company, are as follows:
R. O. Irwin, E. Sandrig, J. C. Bol
linger, J. R. Wilson, O. E. Marsh, F. N.

t-
AN INNOCENT GROWTH.
Dr. Otto S. Blnswanger A polypus
itself is an innocent growth, but the
question Is, Was it simply a polypus?
Cancer and a polypus are two different
things, but the fact that a polypus was
removed from the Emperor's larynx is
somewhat suspicious. No, it is not
supposed that cancer is hereditary in
the Hohenzollern family, though the
Emperor's father died of It, and cancer
is supposed to have caused his moth
er's death. A polypus Is removed by
long forceps, and Is twisted off in that
way.
t
BERLIN, Nov. 8. Emperor William yes-.
terday underwent an operation for the re-'
moval of a polypus from his larynx. The
operation was performed by Professor
Morltz Schmidt and was entirely success
ful. The only Inconvenlencer suffered by
His Majesty Is that he has been enjoined
not to speak until the wound caused by
the operation has been healed.
The bulletins announcing the result of
the operation caused much excitement
even among court officials, who had no
suspicion that His Majesty was suffering
from any affection of he throat.
The Emperor himself appears not to
have known of the growth In his larynx
until a few days ago and to ha,ve suf
fered no discomfort from It.
Report of Specialist.
The North German Gazette also pub
lishes the report of Professor Johannes
Orth, the famous cancer specialist, who
succeeded the late Professor Virchow in
the chair of pathological anatomy In the
University of Berlin. Professor Orth
made a microscopical examination, which
shows that the polypus consisted of a
very soft connecting tissue containing
very few cells. This tissue was covered
all over with a scaly epithelium, sharply
defined from the tissue. A portion of
the connective tissue cells contained fine
brown pigmented granules, which evi
dently were the result of former slight
hemorrhages. The polypus also con
tained a large number of thin-walled cor
puscles. The court circular this morn
ing made the following announcement.
"The Emperor yesterday went for a
walk. No guests were Invited to luncheon
or dinner yesterday, but Count Von Bu
low, the Imperial Chancellor, will be the
Emperor's guest at luncheon today."
Chats With Von Bulow.
Count Von Bulow found the Emperor
as chatty and animated as usual. Ho
took liquid foods and did not indulge in
the courses served. His general health
has never been so sood. It Is stated that
the Emperor will continue to receive vis
itors on ofllcial business.
The growth In the larynx at once sug
gested that the Emperor might be suf
fering from something worse than a
simple polypus, but Professors Von Lent
hold, llberg, Schmidt and Orth supple
ment the bulletins In replying to inquiries
by the most personal declarations that
the affection was merely a "good-natured
polypus which Is not likely to return or
to be followed by any evil effects."
Sleeps After Operation.
BERLIN, Nov. S.-rThe following bulle
tin was Issued today:
"The Emperor spent yesterday quletly
ln his room. He slept throughout tho
night without interruption. The appear
ance of the small wound is satisfactory
and there is no pain or other discomfort
in the throat. His Majesty's temperature
this morning was 36.3; pulse, 60."
Arrangements for Hunting Trip.
BERLIN, Nov. S, 7:15 P. M. The sur
