FOSTER WINS BACK VOTE Piles Contingent in Very San guine Mood, EXPECT-WILSON TO QUIT RACE Indications Are That HU Strength Will le So Split That No One Recipient Will Have Enough to Win. iBAIXOTS FOB SENATOR. t Eighth.

The Washington Legislature1 in joint sesjlon today took two ballots for "United States Senator and both of them were fully as exciting and thrill ing as an Emersonian discussion on ancient literature. Earles and Harper, of the minority party, switched to Foster and the rest of the Democrats voted for Senator Graves. Griffin and Keyes, who last week created a mild diversion by switching their votes, got back in line today and voted for Fos ter and Flies respectively. The result showed: Foster 45, Piles 31, Sweeny 28, "Wilson 17, Jones 7, Graves 4, absent 2. The air tonight is filled Tvlth all sorts of rumord of impending startling changes, but it is practfcally an im possibility to -weave these rumors into anything like tangible shape. The Piles following seems to be unusually confi dent that they will score a gain within a very short time and that gain is ex pected to come from the "Wilson strength. Wilson Is Hanging On. The elimination of "Wilson from the contest, however, will not be accom plished without a struggle. He has been served with a notice that it is time for him to get out of the way and permit the Piles bandwagon to rum ble along to victory', but he persist ently believes that the vehicle In which the Piles contingent Is traveling Is a hearse and that the only real Senato rial bandwagon on the ground is that in which the' Wilson followers are resting. For the past few Jays the Piles peo-. pie have In a measure abandoned their direct efforts) to show John L. the error of his ways and are now endeavoring to persuade his followers that the Wil son case Is hopeless. It Is reported to night that they have mat with some successes, and that unless Wilson can increase his strength to more than 20 votes, a number of his followers will abandon him. It Is not at all clear that the elimina tion of Wilson from the fight would be accompanied by any immediate results of a startling nature. Some of Wilson's friends assert that it would be impos sible for him to deliver any of his strength to Piles, and the maximum amount tnat he could turn over to Piles is believed to be less than ten votes. A fair division of the votes in the event of Wilson retiring would be about as follows: Piles eight, Foster four. Sweeny five. Not Enough to Elect. This would bring' the Piles strength tip to about 40 votes and Foster about 50. The result of this proposed re iuoval of Wilson from the fight would thus fall to make any material change in the relative position' of the remain ing three leading candidates. Foster would still lack 21 votes, "Piles 29 votes and Sweeny with something' over 30 votes io sight and a number of others flirting around the Foster-Jones and Piles camps would still hold the key to the situation. This is the strongest argument which the Wilson men put up when they are Invited to fade away into the shadow of -the PJles hoom, their contention be ing that so long as the withdrawal of Wilson will Tiot elect Piles or. Intro duce any new features into the came, they are as much entitled to a showing B8 tho other King County candidate. Both Foster and Piles are reported to be making a strongs effort to enlist the support of the railroads in their re spective fights, but thus far the rail road men have discreetly kept out of it. Foster Confers With Chlstlan. Senator Foster ana nis - manager, Senator Walter Christian, held a con ference at Tacoma yesterday with B, S. Grosscup, of the Northern Pacific but if anything Important developed It has been carefully concealed. Gross cup .himself was at one time regarded as tho possible legatee of the Foster strength in case the Senator failed to land, but his aspirations went glim mering during the row in the Republi can State Convention at Tacoma last Summer. Piles undoubtedly has the moral support of the Great Northern, but moral support has seldom won out In a. Senatorial fight at Olympia. E. W. W TO MAKE COMMISSION -SILL.

The railroad commissions of the Senate and House met in joint session tonight. but adjourned after appointing a sub committee.

He believed the passage of the bill, notwithstanding the Govern or's veto, would be a happy solution oi the oroblem of road legislation that would confront the present Legislature.

There was little discussion upon any of the bills with the exception of the one appropriating $200 lor tne framing of the photographic Legisla tlve irroups. There was a disposition on the part of some to rebuke Governor Mcurlde for his sarcastic references In his veto message to the3njdiy" of the Eighth Legislature lnprovidlne-for thefram ing and n&nglng of its own photo graphs. The bill was lost, however. by a close vote. Mead's First Proclamation. OLYMPIA. Wash,. Jan. 24. (Special.) Governor Mead Issued his first proclama tlon today.

English Hopgrowers Pooling Holdings SALEM, Jan. 24. (Special.) Manager James Wlnstanlcy today received a dis patch from Isaac Pine us &. Sons, of Ta coma, saying that the latter have re ceived the following cablegram from Lon don: "English growers are pooling their en tire holdings, 40,000 bales, taking them out of the market Indefinitely."

GOVERNOR WILL SIGN AT ONCE State Printing Contracts Go to Olym pia Firm Committee to Confer With Oregon Legislators on Laws for Fishing. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 24. (Special.) The Lewis and Clark appropriation "bill was received in the Senate from tho House this morning, and the amendment reducing the amount of the appropriation from $100,000 to $75,000 was adopted. -No protest was made by the author, of the bill. Senator Rands, or his friends, though they had originally planned to oppose tne concurrence of the Senate in the amend ment, hoping to at least "spilt the dif ference. Danger of losing more In a free conference, however, held them back and the bill will go to the Governor with the lesser amount named as the appropri ation. Governor Mead, although ho haa not yet received tho bill from the Legislature, has under consideration a number of available men for the Lewis andClark Commissioners. It Is practically settled that State Senator Huber Rasher, of Spo kane, will be the Democratic member of the Commission: Senator T. B. Summer. of Snohomish County, will be another member, and It Is likely that, partly on account of sentiment, one member will be chosen from Clark County and another member from Lewis County. Senator E. M. Rands, of Clark, and W. H. Hare, of Yakima, will probably also be named. The bill provides for seven members. They will all be named within a very few days, as there Is a necessity for active work being started In Jhe preparing of tho exhibit. The bill carries an emer gency clause. Olympia Company Gets Printing. The Senate had a heated contest over the letting of the Scnato printing. The printing committee, which last night went over the bids submitted, recommended the acceptance of the bid ot the Tacoma firm of Vaughan-Morrlll Company. Their bid was about $3S less than that of the Capi tal Printing Company, commonly termed "the combine, for bill work of the ses sion. It was argued that time would be lost in sending the original bills to Ta coma and that there would be danger of persons tampering with thebllls on the way or of the total loss of sorrie of them. The adoption of tho committee report was opposed by Ruth and Palmer and was supported by Stewart, Le Crone and Tucker. The Senate finally, by a vote of 22 to 20. rejected the bid of the Tacoma firm and awarded the printing of bills to the Olympia Company. The Tacoma firm gets a number of small contracts for other work. Joint Committee on Fisheries. The resolution of the Legislature of Oregon relative to the appointment of a committee to meet with a like commit tee from the Washington Legislature to discuss legislation affecting the Ash ing Industry on the Columbia River was received by the House. Williams of Pacific offered a resolution provid ing for the appointment of a Washlng- ington committee to confer with the Oregon committee.- and the motion was adopted without opposition. The Speaker subsequently named as the members of tho House committee Ruth of Whatcom, Williams of Pacific and Stevenson of Skamania. Bills In Both Houses. Upon the recommendation of the committee on Judiciary House bill No. 60, requiring County Auditors to pass on the correctness of the form of docu mcnts offered for filing, was. indefinite ly postponed.

A bill introduced in both House and Senate repeals chapter 121, laws of 1902, relating to the annexation by counties of contiguous territory. The compulsory pilotage law, that has been a bone of contention in sev eral previous Legislatures, appeared in the House with Dyke as the author. Another old friend, the bill regulating the practice of osteopathy, was intro duced by Strowbridge In the House and a similar bill was introduced by Booth. Wilson introduced an osteopathy bill In the Senate. X bill prohibiting the procuring of laborers under false representations as to conditions of employment, salaries, existence of strikes, etc., was intro duced by Benn and Davis of Chehalls County.

IDAHO SHOWN THE REASON. lewls and Clark Fair Is Very Much Her Show. BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 24. SpeclaL) Ow ing to the death of Peter Hunt, brother ot Speaker Hunt, the House adjourned after a brief session this morning. The Senate also adjourned after being in ses sion an hour. J. P. Marshall. Special Commissioner of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, ad dressed an informal meeting of the Legis lators in the afternoon on the benefits to accrue to the State of Idaho from a lib eral appropriation and a good display at the Fair. Mr. Marshall save the story of the in ception and progress of work on the Ex position. He believed the mouth of the Columbia River belonged as much to Idaho as to Orejon. and the Oregon ap propriation would help Idaho asvmuch as Oregon, provided her resources were prop erly set forth. He believed $50.00 would be none to large an appropriation from this state, although $25,000 for an exhibit and $10,003 for a building might be suffi cient. He read a telegram stating that stopover privileges would be allowed on all Lewis and Clark Exposition railway tickets. . Commissioner Hurtt said that five car loads ot exhibits had been sent to Port land from St. Louis. Part of this bad al ready arrived and had been unloaded by the Exposition company free of cost. In marked contrast to St. Louis, where they had been "held up" by monopolies on the grounds granted by the company. Ex press was high and they had been com pelled in some instances to purchase fruit. He wu convlaced the condition would be entirely d&erest at Portland. Mr. Hartt Mid that Bsstern people looked upon tke Portland-Fair as an ex hibition of the Kortuwcst, aw Rreai. things are expected of Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho. California, which had spent over -JLOOMe at St. Louis, would prove a hard competitor. He favored a separate building to contain the exhibits from, this state. In response to a question from Repre sentative Sweetser, Mr. Marshall stated they were Jealously guarding against any "grafts" at Portland. Every precaution was being taken. Employes were warned not to accept tips, on pain of dismissal. The men at the head of the Exposition were business men. Interested in the growth of the Northwest, which any grafting would defeat. It was their in tention to help the .Northwest and thus Indirectly get their money back. WADE CHARGED WITH FORGERY Ex-Cashier of Pendleton Bank Unable to Give -Bail. PENDLETON. Ot.. Jan. 24.

Joseph Vey. an illiterate but wealthy sheepman. transacting all his sales and handling his money. While acting as sponsor for vey Wade Is said to have forged a note for $10,000 and used the money for his own pur poses. As Wade had been accustomed to signing Vey's narao and then permitting Vey to Inscribe a cross to the notes, no suspicion was felt by the bank officials. When Wade was deposed he was unable to account for $10,000 of Vey's money. While It seemed to be a plain case of forg ery, no criminal action was taken against Wade .and he was permitted to leave the state before a warrant was Issued for his arrest.

While acting as administrator of the Craig estate Wade is charged with misap propriation of funds amounting to $14,0G0. being unable to account for any of the money of the estate at the time he was discharged from the bank a year ago.

BELIEVES EMERGENCY EXISTS U'Ren Thinks Amendment to Primary Law Is Entitled to Clause. OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 24. (Spe claL) "What do you think of Mr. Lockwood's reasons for attaching the emergency clause to Mr. Huntley s bill amending the direct primary nomlna tlon laws as they are given In the Leg islatlvc correspondence from Salem last Sunday?" was today asked of W. S. U'Ren. secretary of the Direct Primary Nominations League. "I think they are sufficient .to en title the bill to the emergency clause. In considering the question I think it did not occur to any of us to seek for a statement In the law Itself declar lng the conditions that would bring It within the emergency provisions of the Constitution. I am. in favor of adding the emergenc,' clause to Mr, Huntley's bill. Am '.try sorry Mr. Lockwood did not offer liny reason for his opinion until after the bin was In troduccd. but If It could have been passed In the first place with an emer .gency clause. It is probably not too late now. '-What do you think ot the rumors that tho liquor Interests have raised a $23,000-fund to persuade the Legisla ture to pass Mr. Jayne's bill amending the local option law"' "Seems to me the liquor people would be very foolish to spend a dollar In that way. even If they could pass the Jayne bill by the use of money, because they could get their amendments bo fore the people by initiative petition for one-tenth of that sum. ana if tney do get the Jayne bill passed by the Legislature a bill to repeal it may be submitted by initiative petition and adoDted In June next year, only 16 months from this time."

Mrs. Georgia Nellson, who Is sup posed to have been TIdcombe's wife.
