DEAD IN SMALL POOL
Searchers Find Body of Perley

SAD END OF A SAILING PARTY
Boat Is Upset and Chilling East Wind
Overcomes One Youth, a Second
Rescued Alive by Party Sent
Out by Benumbed Survivor.
HILLSBORO. Or., Feb. 1. (Special.)
Chilled through by icy water and bit
ter east -wind after the upsetting of
their sailboat In the bottoms south of
this city, one young man Is dead, an
other in a serious condition, while a
third staggered into town at 6:45 this
evening with the tale, and started a
search party after his companions.
After a long search, the rescuing
party, at 9:15 P. M.. found the body of
Perley Campbell lying face downward
In a small pool of water, where ho had
fallen, evidently too benumbed and ex
hausted to save himself from drown
ing. Mooro was picked up more dead
than alive and brought back to town.
Jlooro will recover.
About noon today Ed Adkins, Perley
Campbell and Roy Moore went to the
Tualatin River bottom, south of this
city, for a sail. Adkins alone returned
to town about 6:45 this evening, be
numbed with cold. His story is as fol
lows: "Wo left town about 1 o'clock for an
hour's sailing, if the wind was good.
"Vvro had been out but a little over an
hour when the boat capsized. Camp
bell was steering at tho time. The
wind with great velocity filled the sail
and turned the boat over. "When I saw
It turn I Jumped into the water, and
was barely missed by the mast. I Im
mediately grasped the mast and tho
two boys clambered upon the boat's
bottom. I then hung to the boat and
remained in the water, kicking to force
the boat to a wire fence.
"The wind made the boat difficult to
manage, and we all became entangled
in the wires. The boat finally went to
the bottom. Moore and 1 tried to get
Campbell to strike out to shore with
ub, but he was so chilled that he could
not speak. He climbed on the fence,
hanging to one of the posts, and we
started for shore.
Either way we went we had to go
through a large body of water, and
Moore soon became so benumbed that I
finally had to carry him. He soon be
came so exhausted that he was speech
less. "I finally made the shore with
him, when he motioned for me to go
to town for help."
Adkins is a son of Dr. J. E. Adkins,
the pioneer dentist of this city. Camp
boll was a native of this place, and
was a son of David and Agnes Camp
bell and a nephew of Elder James
Campbell, the noted Christian minister.
Moore is a son of Mrs. Frances Moore,
of this city,' and his father Is William
Moore, a Portland teamster.
GOOD FELLOW IN MONTANA.
Forger Mclntyre Succeeding In Rais
ing Money on Bogus Drafts.
BUTTE. Mont.. Feb. L Philip Mcln
tyre, arrested last Saturday In New York
City on the arrival of a steamer from
"Vera Cruz upon charges of passing a
worthless draft tor $S00 on a bank In the
City of Mexico, Is badly wanted In Butte
and Kalispell on a similar charge bogus
drafts purporting to be drawn by the l.a
Follette Bank, of LaFollette, Tenn., upon
the First National Bank of Chicago for
$250, passed here and in Kalispell.
Philip Mclntyre's career in Montana
was novel, the alleged swindler appearing
with excellent credentials, apparently be
ing signed by a Supreme Court Justice of
Tennessee, Mclntyre representing himself
to be the attorney of the Tennessee Coal
& Iron Company.
The local attorneys Imposed upon In
turn gave Mclntyre letters of recom
mendation to Kalispell members of the
bar, also to other attorneys throughout
the Northwest. After making himself
a good fellow with the lawyers here,
Mclntyre left Butte for about six months,
visiting cities of the Northwest. Return
ing, Mclntyre renewed his acquaintance
in Butte and Kalispell, prevailing upon
some of his legal friends one day to Iden
tify him at the Clark Bank In Butte and
the Conrad Bank In Kalispell, securing
?500 on two bogus drafts.
Mclntyre obtained the drafts from an
Omaha lithographing company, having
them made, it Is alleged, through false
representations.
Mclntyre Pleads Guilty to Charge.
NEW YORK. Feb. L Philip Mclntyre,
of Nashville, Tenn., has pleaded guilty
to a. charge of passing a fraudulent check
on the Citizens National Bank, of Nor
folk, Va., when arraigned In the Tombs
Police Court. An .additional charge was
presented against him and the examina
tion was continued until Thursday.
NO PALACE FOR GOVERNOR.
House Will Probably Defeat Purchase
in Salem.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 1. (Special.) The
executive mansion bill seems doomed to
defeat in the House, where It originated
and will almost certainly be voted down
in the Senate If it should happen to pass
the lower branch of the Legislature.
Early in the session there was considera
ble sentiment in favor of the project, but
the press of the state was so solidly
against the purchase of a mansion for the
Governor that the members of the Legis
lature have become convinced that public
opinion is against It. Several members
who supported the appropriation for the
mansion two years ago will oppose It at
this session.
The necessity for continual expenditure
for maintenance is what hurts the man
sion project. The initial investment of
$14,500 is not considered heavy, and if
the Governor would occupy the residence
provided for him, it would probably not
be difficult to secure the passage of a bill
appropriating that sum of money. But the
members know that $14,500 would be but
tho beginning of .the expenditures for this
establishment, and that at each session
there would be an appropriation for re
pairs, improvements, light, heat and
furniture.
That the mansion would be a credit to
the state when distinguished men were
here from other states and are enter
tained by the Governor, is admitted, but
this argument has not sufficed to' win
enough votes for the bill to make Its pass
age possible. It is claimed by the per
sons lobbying in behalf of the appropria
tion that 40 votes have been promised In
the House, where only 31 are necessary.
Others who have made inquiry say that
not even the 31 votes can be secured. In
the Senate the feeling Is general among
the leaders that the bill cannot pass that
body.
In the House an effort was made to
effect a trade between the Marion and
Multnomah delegations, by which the lat
ter would support the mansion bill, but
It soon developed that only one or two
members of the Marlon delegation were
in the agreement. In the Senate neither
the Marion nor Multnomah delegations
have discussed the subject. - and it is
understood that no effort at a trade of
any kind will be made, but the bill will
be considered solely upon its merits.
The owners of the Patton residence,
which is offered to the state as an execu
tive mansion, have tried to secure the in
fluence of the Governor's office in favor of
tho appropriation, but thus far there has
been no indication that any help has been
given from that source. On the contrary,
the Governor has told all who have in
quired that he will not occupy the man
sion with his family, even if It should be
purchased. This assurance Is not help
ing the project, for the members are in
clined to believe that other Governors will
feel the same way, preferring the quiet
and seclusion of modest private homes
rather than the ostentation Of life in an
elaborate executive mansion. A man
sion without a Governor in it would be an
inappropriate place to entertain a guest
of the state, and hence there is a proba
bility that the chief purpose in buying a
mansion would not be accomplished.
Opposition has been made to the pur
chase of the Patton house because it is so
old. The house was built over 30 years
ago at a cost of $30,000. "If the state is to
have an executive mansion, we want one
that will last for many years." said one
of the Senators. "It would be folly for
the state to buy an old house. We should
have a new one or none at all."
There was some talk a few days ago to
the effect that a bill would be introduced
for the purchase of the block of land east
of the State Capitol, upon which the
Metschan residence is located. Tis block
Is owned in several different tracts, one
of which has an imperfect title. There
seems to be no foundation for the story
that this property would bo offered to the
state.
LOOK INTO SCHOOL WORK.
State Commission Proposed by Bill in
the House.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 1. (Special.) For a
commission of three members to look Into
the various educational Institutions of the
state and to suggest methods for Improv
ing their efficiency, the House this morn
ing adopted a concurrent resolution of
fered by Representative Mears of Mult
nomah. The commission Is to be appoint
ed by tho Governor, is to serve without
pay. Is to be allowed traveling expenses
and $150 for clerk lure, and Is to report
to the next Legislature.
If the resolution shall go through the
Senate, Governor Chamberlain has said
he will appoint on the commission one
prominent educator, one large taxpayer
and one person otherwise Interested in
educational work. The committee is to
have full discretion as to the breadth of
its Investigation and Its instructions as
contained in tho resolution direct it to
tho examination of no particular nor
local phase of the educational system.
Mr. Mears said today that he believed
the commission can make valuable sug
gestions for improvement of scholarship.
The commission is free to recommend con
solidation of normal schools if it desires.
Its purpose as set forth in the resolution
is to examine "the present educational
methods, efficiency and financial condi
tion of each and every educational Insti
tution receiving state aid, and when Its
labors are completed, to submit its re
port to the Governor, showing fully the
condition as found with their recommend
ations thereon, with such drafts of pro
posed laws as shall be formulated, adopt
ed and recommended by It, and to fur
ther recommend In their report a future
policy, which in its judgment should be
adopted for the conduct and support of
said Institutions."
Tho ways and means committees of
the two Houses tonight heard the pleas
of the four normal schools for funds,
but took no action. Monmouth was
represented by President E. D. Ressler
and by Regents C. E. Wolverton and
A. Noltner. Ashland by President B. F.
Mulkey, Weston by President R. C.
French, P. A. Worthlngton and Sena
tor C. J. Smith, and Drain by Presi
dent W. H. Demster, O. C. Brown, C. S.
Jackson, Captain Boswell, Benton
Myers and J. A. Black. The arguments
of the four institutions consumed three
hours.
EXEMPT FROM REFERENDUM.
Local Acts Are Believed to Be Free
From the Restriction.
SALEM, Feb. 1. That local acts are
exempt both from the' referendum and
from the emergency clause restrictions
of the referendum amendment Is the
opinion of several legal lights in the
Legislature, and the opinion is gaining
ground. Governor Chamberlain Is verg
ing on the decision that the constitu
tion does not require him to make close
scrutiny Into the emergency clauses of
local bills to determine whether the
measures are necessary for the imme
diate preservation of the public peace,
health or safety. He went so far to
night as to say he had almost made up
his mind not to veto such measures for
emergency clauses.
In the category of local measures
are Included those for towns and ctles,
counties, and even Judicial districts.
The referendum amendment provides
that petitions for referendum must con
tain at least 5 per cent of the total
number of votes cast for Justice of the
Supreme Court at. the last regular elect
tion before the filing of the petition!
This Indicates that only those acts are
Intended for referendum which affect
the state as a whole, and not thoso
which affect divisions of the state.
The amendment does not provide that
petitions for referendum on local bills
shall bear names in proportion to the
vote of the locality. Such provision
was proposed when the amendment
was first offered In the Legislature
but was left out for fear that It might
hazard the success of the amendment.
FIRE BILL PASSES THE HOUSE
Amendments Make It Satisfactory to
All but Tillamook Members.
SALEM, Feb. 3. (Special.) Repre
sentative Miles' bill tb protect forests
against fire passed the House this
morning as amended by the committee
on public lands, vtlth only one voice
raised against it that of West of Til
lamook. Richie of Marlon, Newell of
Washington and Gray and Sonnemann
of Douglas, who opposed the bill in Its
early form, explained that the objec
tional features had been eliminated to
their satisfaction, and that they were
willing to see the measure pass. Those
who advocated its passage were Miles
of Yamhill and Bingham of Lane.
The bill provides that between June
1 and October 1 brush and clearing fires
shall be set out only on permit issued
by County Clerks, and that such per
mits shall be good for three days. For
est rangers appointed by County Courts
and paid by timber owners petitioning
for them are to have police power in
enforcing the act. The bill contains
rigid provisions for punishment of
careless and wanton starting of fires
In timber areas.
The bill in Its present shape Is ex
pected to pass the Senate without much
opposition. The original bill provided
for a. closed season between August 1
and September 15, during which all
clearing fires were to be prohibited.
Redemption of the Cornucopia.
BAKER CITY, Or.. Feb. 1. (Special.)
The money for the redemption of the
Cornucopia mine was paid over to Sheriff
Brown late this afternoon. There was
some objection on the part of some of the
attorneys Interested, which threatened to
complicate matters for a while, but the
matter was adjusted by the payment of
aa additional $1000 to the Sheriff.
. The attorneys for the Judgment cred
itors and for the Standard Oil people
spent a greater portion of the day adjust
ing this matter. The Sheriff will at once
turn the mine over to a representative of
the New York syndicate that furnished
the money to redeem the property. .
PRICE OF LIFE FIXED
Washington Senate Passes
Employers' Liability Bill.
FOUGHT BY LABORING MEN
Copies of a Measure for the Removal
of the Seat of State Government
to Tacoma Given Members
or Both .-louses.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. l.-(SpeciaL)
In spite of strong speeches In opposition
to the employers' liability act, the Senate
today passed the measure by a vote of
21 to S. The bill limits the amount that
can be recovered In the event of death
caused by negligence to 53000. The rep
resentatives of the State Federation of
Labor have been working hard against
the bill, and when It came up in the Sen
ate today. Senator S. T. Smith, himself
a manufacturer. Insisted that the law was
unfair, and that the question of the value
of a human life lost should be left to the
Jury.
Senator Moore also opposed the meas
ure. He Insisted that sufficient safeguards
against extortionate verdicts were already
In the law, which permitted the presiding
Judge to set aside an unjust verdict, and
the Supreme Court of seven members also
to pass on the justice of the verdict.
Welch- made the principal argument for
the bill, of which he is the author. Tho
protection asked, he said, was no more
than that given in many Eastern States.
Hutson, Kennedy, Moore, Hogue, Rasher,
Russell, S. T. Smith and Stewart voted
against the bill.
The Sejiate passed Wilson's bill, which
provides for a complete report of vital
statistics to the State Board of Health
by nhyslclans, undertakers and others
whose duty it Is to officiate at birth or
death. Senator Moore's bill was passed,
requlrlnsr that sanitary regulations be ob
served In hotels and restaurants, and 13
really a companion or supplementary
measure to Mooro's bake-shop bill of two
years ago.
Bills Passed In the Senate.
The Senate bill giving permission to
Judges of tho Superior Court to suspend
sentence upon persons under the age of

ting guardians to give the same bond as
an administrator of an estate; providing
penalties for the fraudulent removal, sale
or disposal of incumbrances on real prop
erty; forbidding County Commissioners to

and a House bill giving the defendant In
Justice Court proceedings the right to re
quire a nonresident plaintiff to deposit se
curity for costs.
The Senate concurred in the House reso
lution providing for the appointment of a
committee to draft bills Incorporating the
recommendations of state officers.
House Acts on Committee Reports.
In acting on the committee reports to
day the House. Indefinitely postponed the
Frostad commission bill and ordered the
Reid tax commission bill placed on tho
calendar. The House also Indefinitely
postponed the eight-hour female labor law
and the bill repealing the law prohibiting
bar be ring on Sunday.
The remainder of the morning and af
ternoon sessions of the House was de
voted to first and second readings of bills.
Considerable time was consumed in de
bate over minor amendments. In consid
eration of the bill regulating the width
of wagon tires, an effort was made to
amend so that the law would not become
operative until 1915, Instead of 1910, as pro
vided in the bill. The amendment was
lost after a long discussion.
Fight on Capital Removal.
Both Houses now have before them cop
ies of a bill providing for submission
at the next general election of an amend
ment to the constitution removing the seat
of the state government from Olympia to
Tacoma. If the bill should pass, the vote
by the people would not occur until No
vember, 1906, and It would require a two
thirds vote to adopt the amendment.
Upon adoption of the amendment, it would
require a proclamation by the Governor,
and an act by the Legislature providing
money for the removal expenses and pro
viding for the offices and legislative halls
In the new Capitol.
The bill Is fathered in the House by
E. D. Miller, of Pierce, and In the Senate
by Baker of Klickitat. With the Senator
ial contest out of the was, the Pierce
County delegation and others favorable
to the bill say they will be able to put
up a strong removal fight.
Old Road Supervisor System.
A bill which, to a degree, contemplates
a return to the old. road supervisor system

ing of a road tax, each voter to ex

WORK OF THE COMMITTEES.
Horticultural Bills Will All Be In
definitely Postponed.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. L (Special.) In
disgust tonight, the joint committee on
horticulture of the House and Senate de
cided to recommend for indefinite post
ponement all bills amending the present
laws on horticulture.
The committee had three bills before It,
one of which seeks to remove the Horti
cultural Commissioner's office from Ta
coma; another changing the bond of im
porting companies. Two of the bills are
practically identical, and specify a num
ber of other changes. Mixed up with the
attempt to take the office out of Tacoma
are v the aspirations of several candidates
for the position of State Horticultural
Commissioner, now held by A- Von Hol
derbeke, and the desires of other men for
positions as county or district fruit In
spectors. After a long discussion in which
It was conclusively demonstrated that the
horticultural industry was divided
against itself, the committees threw the
whole proposition overboard.
Back to Old Textbook Law.
The joint educational committees of the
House and Senate have practically agreed
to present a bill to the Legislature pro
viding for a return to the. old uniform
textbook law, or one embracing many of
its salient features.
The State Legislature in 1833 passed a
uniform textbook law and- a series of
books was thereafter selected by the State
Board of Education and contracts were
entered Into for the publication of the
books. The selection of the books for
use in the schools and the letting of the
contracts resulted in a state-wide scan
dal, and four years ago the Legislature
repealed the law and adopted a county
uniform textbook law. The contracts with
the State Board of Education, entered
into In IDOOC do not expire until June of
the present year.
The disposition of the committee to rec
commend a return to the state uniform
textbook system will create a sensation
in educational circles. The bill has been
drafted and was considered by the com
mittee In Joint session today and will
appear as a joint committee measure. It
will undoubtedly be opposed by the big
book-publishing houses. Under the pres
ent system, the smaller houses are pre
vented from competing by the great cost
of sending samples -of books sought to be
selected to the 1200-odd educational boards
and boards of directors in the state.
The committee decided to report for
passage the bill prepared by the Legisla
tive committee of the State Teachers' As
sociation and introduced by Minard In the
House. The committee recommends, how
ever, the elimination of the sections In
creasing the length of term of County
Superintendents and consolidating the
Board of ..ilgher Education with the State
Board of Education.
Depositions of State Funds.

The bill placing restrictions around the
branches of foreign banks in this state
also has the approval of the committee.
The Senate fisheries committee will re
port for passage the Senate bills providing
for hatcheries on the Toutle and Humptu
llps Rivers and the bill providing for fish

The House committee on state lands, to
whom was recommitted the bill repealing
the reservation of lands on the border of
Soap Lake, has reversed Itself and will
recommend Its Indefinite postponement.
Tne Megler bill, granting the Govern
ment a quarantine station on state lands
near the mouth of the Columbia, was
approved.
Discussion on Irrigation.
Representatives and attornes's of Irriga
tion companies and Government experts
were given an opportunity tonight to dis
cuss the provisions of the Irrigation code
prepared by the State Irrigation Commis
sion and presented to the Legislature at
the suggestion of the Government.
The decision Indicates a condition
wherein Yakima and Kittitas Counties
are standing out in opposition to one feat
ure of the bill, while thes admit that" this
feature would be of advantage to the
state at large. The eection objected to
provides for the adjudication of all water
rights in the state following the filing of
the surves plats of the Government. In
Yakima Counts It is alleged that the
rights of all the settlers in the Irrigated
portion have been adjusted, and. that
their title ohould not now be clouded. It
is claimed that the bill as presented would
bring over 7000 defendants into court.
Other features of 'the bill, such as giv
ing the Government authorits to maintain
and construct reservoirs, turn the waters
of such reservoirs Into the natural water
courses of the state, to construct Irriga
tion ditches and flumes across farm lands,
and the elimination . to a degree of the
doctrine of riparian rlghta In this state,
granting the powers of eminent domain to
the Government and maintaining the doc
trine of appurtenances, are satisfactory
to all Interests.
After talks had been made bs Ira P.
Englehart. W. P. Brldgeman and Edward
Whltson. of North Yakima; T. A. Noble,
Government engineer; Mr. Ross, Govern
ment expert; E. A. Brs'an, president of
the State Agricultural College, it was de
cided to appoint a subcommittee to go
over the code and eliminate if passible
the controversies.
Prior to the main meeting the Yakima
and Kittitas County men, who oppose the
Government expert's ideas on the adjudi
cation of water rights, met Mr. Noble
and Mr. Ross and a tentative agreement
was reached, which will result in the
preparation of a bill or amendment which
will practically eliminate the thlckls'-set-tled
Yakima Valles and other Irrigation
districts in that vlclnlts from that feat
ure of the bill providing for adjudication
of existing water appropriations. It Is be
lieved that the subcommittee will there
fore be able to prepare a measure that
will satisfs all Interests.
In addition to those who spoke, the
meeting was attended by representatives
of the Northern Pacific land department
and a number of prominent Irrigation men
from Eastern Washington.

SACRAMENTO. Cal., Feb. 1. As an
outcome of the bribery scandal in the
State Legislature, Joseph S. Jordan, tho
alleged agent of the accused Senators,
was this afternoon formalls charged
with felony. The specific charge Is that

nor on the representation that he
would lmproperls influence the action
and votes of Senators Bunkers, French,
Wright and Emmons in the Investiga
tion of building and loan societies.
The proceeding against Jordan was
instituted at the instigation of District
Attornes Seymour, of Sacramento
Counts, who unexpectedly entered the
case, and his appearance In the matter
is said to have caused considerable agi
tation among the men under suspicion.
There are rumors that Jordan has
made a confession to Ses'mour, or In
tends doing so. It has been represent
ed to the prisoner that he is to be
made the scapegoat of the scandal and
that the Legislators under suspicion
will declare he was merely a bunko
operator working with their names as
his capital. ,
The Investigation committee of the
Senate resumed Its session this after
noon and heard a number of witnesses,
whose testlmons was corroborative of
that already given.
Trap Laid for Senators.
SACRAMENTO. Cal., Feb. 1. Ordinary
legislation at the Capitol Is still over
shadowed by the bribers scandal involv
ing Senators Emmons, French. Bunkers
and Wright. Joseph S. Jordan, who is
accused of having passed the money to
the Senators, was compelled to spend the
night In Jail, despite the efforts of his
friends to secure his release on ball.
Thomas V. Cator, one of the counsel
for the nccused Senators, stated today
that an effort would be made bs the de
fenso to show that the mones was never
passed to those suspected of taking It.
When the Inquiry of bribers against
the four State Senators was reopened in
the Senate chamber this afternoon. Ga
vin McNab, who first addressed the
court of inquiry, stated that he had had
a conference with the accused Senators
and on their behalf asked that the rule
allowing but one of their counsel to con
duct the questioning be waived.
This was denied, on motion of Senator
Simpson of the committee of Inqulrs.
McNab was then cross-examined by
Thomas "V. Cator, of the defense.
"What was S'our motive in trapping
the Senators?" asked Cator.
"Just the same incentive as you would
have in catching the Incendlars ' who
would make an attempt to burn sour
home," answered McNab.
In answer to a series of questions, Mc
Nab stated that an auditing compans had
been employed bs outsiders to inspect the
books of the Continental Compans and
had found them to be sound.
"Why was tt, then, that s'ou. did not
court an Investigation by the Senate com
mittee Instead of resorting to the brib
ery scheme?"
"Because we wanted to trap the black
mailers," answered McNab.
"Who was It suggested the emplos
ment of Moses Heinz and George N. Tlch-
You walk with
her you rock her,
you give her sugar,
you try all kinds
of things!
But she coughs
all through the long
night, just the same !
No need spending another
night this way. Just a dose
or two of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral will soothe the
throat, quiet the cough, insure a good night's rest.
Ask your doctor about the wisdom of your
keeping this remedy in the house, ready for these
night coughs of the children. Doctors have the
formula. They know all about this medicine.

and the Senators?"
"I did."
"What instructions were given to
Tichnor when he left San Francisco?"
"Ms instructions were to Identify the
Senators with the acceptance of money,"
said McNab.
"I was positive In my instructions that
Joseph Jordan was not to be made the
only person held responsible," he added.
The testimony of other witnesses this
afternoon was corroborative of that pre
viously given.

The Vancouver postoffice was entered
last night by robbers and about $2000 worth
of stamps and $230 in cash taken. The

ing about 7 o'clock. No trace or clew of
any kind was left, and the police and

through the door leading to the postmas
ter's private room. This was done with
out causing ans damage to the door that
was noticeable from the outside. A hole
was then drilled in the vault door close
to the combination lock. This hole was
threaded for a large screw, which was
turned against the combination, forcing
it loose, so that it dropped down on tho
inside of the vault, thus allowing their
entrance.
About 2 o'clock last night some one was
reported to be prowling around the homo
of Thomas Corliss, on Fifteenth street. It
Is now considered that this was a ruse
to get the police officers from the vicin
