THE FORKING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1905. 'Z RUSH BILL ALQN Commission Report Re ceived Out of Order. HOUSE IS VERY WILLING Favorable Action Is Expected to Be Taken This Week. STRUGGLE WILL BE.IN SENATE Railroad Measure May Not Please Upper House, and a Rival Bill May Be Returned at a ' Later Date. OLiTSfPIA, "Wash., Feb. 2L (Special.) The Railway Commission bill prepared last evening by a quorum of the House railroads committee by adding a few amendments to the joint subcommittee bill, came into the House just before ad journment this afternoon, after unani mous consent had been given to receive the committee Teport out of the regular order of business. If the temper with which the bin was received is an indica tion of its standing in the House It will be passed by the ultra-commission men in the lower branch without difficulty. The committee was particularly anxious to report the bill today. In order that the House could act on it this week and get the bill over to the Senate. Such is the plan as now laid. It being the Intention to attempt to put the bill through next Friday. The committee members who had agreed upon the bill had been hard at work all day, the work including confer ences with the Attorney-General as to the wording of the several amendments adopted last evening, the effect of which have heretofore been given. Then the bill as amended by the committee was com pletely transcribed and the report was completed late in the afternoon. The bill went on the record as House substituto bill No. 6, and the report of the committee carried the Indefinite post ponement of two other railroad commis slon bills. The report was called a ma Jority report, although when submitted to the House it bore the signatures of only eight of the 17 members of the com mlttee. Following a motion made to adopt the report, McNIcol of Pierce, who" is a mem ber of the Railroad Commission, asked to have the signatures to the report read. They were given as Dickson, Relter, Crane, Hare, Minard, Booth, Smith and Allen. "Has there been a meeting of the rail road committee?" innocently inquired Mc NIcol. - - ;'. . ''Yes, we held one' 'last evening," re plied Dickson. . . " "Was Hare present?" "No." "Then, how does It happen that he signed the report?" "He authorized mo -to. sign it for him before he loft town," McNIcol sat down and the motion to adopt tho committee report carried, Mc NIcol and one other venturing to vote no. McNIcol then objected to the report be ing designated a majority report. He arose with a commltte list in his hand and inquired how many constituted majority of the commltte. The Speaker evidently understood McNIcol to inquire what constituted a quorum of the com mlttee and replied one-third. "Is one-third a majority of the com mlttee?" again inquired McNIcol. "The House has adopted a rule that permits one-third of the members of a committee. to meet and transact commit tee business," responded the Speaker. Before McNIcol could get himself un tangled, Dickson had made a motion to have the bill made a special order for Monday next at 11 A. M., and the motion was adopted without a shade of opposi tion. BILL CAN PASS IN THE HOUSE Winning of Majority in Senate for Commission Measure Doubtful. OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 2L (Speclal.)- The railway commission men in the House have been working quietly all day in an effort to strengthen the line-up in favor of. the passage of the House substl tute bill presented today. Chairman George E. Dickson, of the railroad committee, announced tonight that he had secured a sufficient number of pledges to pass the bill In the lower branch of the Legislature, but he. could give no assurances of favorable action in the Senate. In explaining the sudden break-up of tne joint committee. Dickson asserts that the ultra commission men became con vinced that a strong play was being made to secure time in the hope of putting off action until so late in the session that no bill at all could be passed. The House committee thereupon decided to take the matter Into their own hands. While it Is possible the bill may be passed by the House Friday, there may oe strengtn enough against the measure to postpone flnal action until the follow ing week, inasmuch as the bill will be on second reading Friday, and will require a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules and get It up for flnal passage. The friends of the bill are not now sure of sufficient strength to force the measure. Action of tne Kind indicated tends to threaten a re. petition of the railway commission "historv of two years ago, when the House was strong enougn to pass the bill, but its irionas in tne benate were not In suffl cient numbers to get it through. It Is also within the bounds of nosslbll ity that this year the Senate will nass a . bill that the House will not accept, and that the House will puss a bill unaccept able to the Senate, with the result that the, measure will fall to earth between the two contending forces. Reservation of State Lands. OLYMPIA, Wasb., Feb. 21. (Special.) The .House this morning concurred In the Baker resolution providing for the ap pointment of a committee to select a gift for the new armored cruiser Washington, soon to be launched in New Jersey. The House received the Roth bills to day providing for the reservation of state lands for two years, and the ap pointment of a commission to study the. laws and report necessary changes two years from-now. In addition to the Roth bill. Crane of Spokane Introduced a bill withdrawing from sale or lease, for ten years all lands and the timber thereon". where such lands bear 200.000 feet of tim ber to the 40-acre tract. The securing by misrepresentation of land the alo or lease of which Is prohibited by this act. Is made a felony, punishable by impris onment In the penitentiary for from one to five years. The heirs of Edmund Sylvester, who was the owner of the original townrfle of Olympla, have secured the Introduction of a bill which provides for the issuance to them of a quit-claim deed to the ten-acre tract In this city on which was erected the foundation for a $1,000,000 Capitol building and then abandoned. The bill sets out the reversionary clause contained in the deed from Sylvester to the Ftate which provides that upon abandonment of the site for Capitol purposes the land shall revert to him or his heirs. The living heirs are the widow of the donor and his daughter. May Sylvester. The House has adjourned until Thurs day morning on account of tomorrow be ing Wasnlngtons birthday. SMUGGLER DUMPS QP1UM CAUGHT BY CUNNING MANEU VER OF REVENUE CUTTER. M'COY BILL PUT ON THE SHELF Decision by Washington Supreme Court Considered Useless. OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 21. (Special.) Speaker Mcgler kept the House In session all day. In spite of a manifest uneasiness caused by desire of many to adjourn and attend tho Elks reunion In Seattle. Just before the noon hour Williams moved to take a recess until 1:30. Roth tried to get the attention of the Speaker in order to move an amendment and shouted at the top of his voice, but he was Ignored and the vote was taken and declared car ried. McCoy's bill, which was Intended to make more specific the provisions of tho state timber act upheld yesterday in an opinion handed down by the Supreme Court, was a special order for 2 o'clock. Kellogg moved the Indefinite postpone ment of the bill and McCoy presented and had read the opinion of the Supreme Court upholding the act in its intention to reserve from sale all lands bearing timber In excess of 1.000.000 feet to the quarter section, but to permit the sale of the timber separately. He said that In asmuch as the Supreme Court had ren-. dered this decision, he would not object to the Indefinite postponement of the bill. Several members of the committee on state lands, who had had trouble over the bill in committee, attempted to give rea sons why they would have 'opposed the bill had not the Supreme Court rendered their attempts useless. Roth got started on a long speech, and was in the midst of telling why he had introduced bills this morning withdrawing all state lands from sale and requiring the appointment of a commission to report on the land laws, when Falconer Interposed another motion to adjourn. The House was immediately In an up roar of shouts for rollcall, and the call showed the motion had failed to carry. "I wish to explain," said Falconer, when quiet was restored, "that I made that motion because every one of the 17 mem bers of the lands committee has a long speech on this bill caking in his brain." There were cries of "quesflon," and the bill,' which, prior to the filing of the Supreme Court decision, was considered one of tho most Important of the session, was indefinitely postponed without an op posing vote. Blackraore's bill authorizing the Fish Commissioner to establish a fish hatchery on the east fork of the Lewis River, was passed. LIndsley's House bill, providing for di viding the State School for Defective Youth and the creating of a new school at Medical Lake for the care and train ing of the feeble-minded, passed the Hous"e this morning with but two opposing votes. These were cast by Bishop and Byerly. It was an agreement reached by Pierce and Spokane Counties, who both wanted t,he location. of this school, that is said to have carried the capital removal bill in the House. The Pierce County delega tion, who had been holding out for Stell acoom as the location, agreed to support Medical Lake in return for support from Spokane County on the capital removal bilL Any hard feeling that may exist over the capital removal fight, however, did not affect the- bill on Its passage today, for most of the champions of Olympla voted for the bill. The Pierce County members kept the agreement. The bill carries an appropriation of JS2, 600, which is to complete the building and maintain it until the next appropriation Is available. If finally enacted, it will cause the removal of the feeble-minded from the Vancouver school and the limi tation of the work of that school to the care and education of the deaf, dumb and blind. - A bill especially desired by Walla Walla, and which permits cities to appropriate underground watercourses for municipal purposes, was passed by the House. Tho act, It was stated by Weber, is needed by the city In obtaining an adequate water supply. Exhibit a Credit to Whitman. COLFAX, Wash Feb. 21. (Special.)

Mc Lean, of Oakesdale, ex-Sheriff of Whitman County, as commissioner to take cnarge of the exhibit. The salary of the commissioner is to be. fixed by the County Commissioners at their March meeting. The committee agreed to insist on the County Commissioners appropriat ing $5000 for the exhibit, instead of $3000, as agreed upon by the board at Its last meeting.

Mr. McLean, the commissioner select ed today, is an able man, a pioneer of the county, a farmer and has a. wide acquaintance. His selection gives gen eral satisfaction. Work xf the Committees.

Feb." 21. The Post-Intelli--gencer will publish the following tomor row morning: Through the srtratgy practiced by Cap tain D. F. Tozler, commanding the reve nue cutter Grant, the notorious Smuggler Jameson was last Monday compelled to sacrifice a large cargo of opium which he was endeavoring to land on American soil, and it is now beneath the water of Haro Straits, about one mile from the Canadian boundary. Monday afternoon the Grant proceeded under easy speed up Haro Straits, In order that she might be well observed from the Canadian shore and entered Mosquito Pass, on the American side. In the hope of deceiving those who might be watching the cutter. Into the belief that she would go through the pass. Instead of continuing, however, the Grant an chored and remained there until about 2 o'clock, when she got under way and proceeded out, a sloop having been sight ed rapidly approaching from the Canadian side and heading for Deception Pass. The sloop had been allowed to get with in about lii miles of the American shore, when the Grant came out, heading for her at full speed. Immediately on the cut ter's appearance In the straits the sloop was put about and endeavored to regain British waters. When It became apparent that he would soon be overhauled, those on board the sloop began throwing over board quantities of packages. The Grant ran alongside tho sloop' and several blue jackets tumbled on board and had the master of the craft fast in a moment. An officer boarding the sloop at once recognized the apparently Innocent fish erman as Jameson, who, with his part ner, Wilkes, now serving a long term at McNeil's Island, are alleged to be two of the best-known and most daring smug glers of opium and Chinese on Ptiget Sound.

IS The drugclst recommended KODOL for a perma nent cure. Special Correspondence, From Wichita, Kansas Mr. Joseph Tack, living at 423 W. 2nd Street, this city, one of the oldest and best known engineers in the State of Kansas, tells an interesting story in which he saved the life of Mary, the beautiful child of section foreman Wade Roy. Mary was sweet company for her mother, and she always ran with smiling and joyful glee to meet her father as he came from work, and her happy disposition banished any cares or worries that he may have had. For two months little Mary lay at the point of death. The family physician had called in consultation three of the most skilled of his professional brothers. These good doctors did all in their power, with not a spark of improvement in Mary's condition. They lost all hope, and told the mother that her little darling could not live. The Rescue as Told by the Engineer Engineer Tack reads In a testimonial where Kodol cures children. Joe Tack. eavehslfof his bottle of KODOL to Wads Roy for; his little girl The three year old dauehter of Wade Roy was Siren up by j three doctors.1 A year ago I was troubled so with my stomach I thought I had cancer. One Sunday afternoon I had such pain I could hardly stand it. 1 was at Wichita, where we had three hours' lay over before going to Salina. 1 went to Arch McVicar's drug store, and asked for a dose of Bromo Soda. He said that would only help for a few minutes and recom mended Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for a permanent cure. I bought a bottle and had immediate relief. I tpok four bottles and am cured entirely. I have run a locomotive engine for twenty-eight years, twenty-five of that time on passenger, where we only have twenty minutes for meals. That is what ruins railroad men's stomachs ; that is why I thought it my duty to tell you about this medicine, so that my brothers could be relieved in case of trouble of this kind. I have been a B.L.E. for twenty-seven years; run on M0.P.R.R. twenty years ; am known nearly all over Kansas. About a year ago, now, our section foreman. Wade Roy, from Ruella, told me his little girl had cholera infantum, and was given up by three doctors. While I lay at Kiowa 1 bought a new bottleof Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, and while sitting in the coach I read a testimonial where children had been cured by taking twenty drops when doctors had given them up, so I poured half of my new bottle in the old one, and when I got back to Ruella, I stopped the engine in front of the section house and gave him the bottle and told him to read tha circujar and use his own judgment, that the medicine had cured me. Next morning he was at Anthony smiling and said the child was better from the first dose. In two weeks she was up and running around, and a more grateful family was never seen. With best wishes I remain, . JOS. TACK, Engineer Mo. P.R.R., 423 W. 2nd St. Wichita, Kansas.
