ROTH MOVES FOR EARLES BILL Opponents Suspicions of Involved .Resolution Intended to Prevent ; .Amendments, and Motion to Adjourn Stops Talk. OL.YMPIA. Wash., March 2. The House hill providing for the naming of the state depositories for public funds and requir tngr'the payment to the state of Interest on such funds was killed by the Senate today. In spite of the threat made by Rep resentative Falconer tlfat he -would de mand an Investigation into the methods of its defeat. It now seems likely that Falconer will reconsider his determination to demand -an Investigation. He had prepared the resolution, but friends advised against It, on the ground that It would disclose nothing, and would bring some of the members Into temporary disrepute. A threat also had been made to kill some of Falconer's other measures In the Sen ate If he persisted. . Clapp, who had a similar bill of his own, devoted his efforts to the Falconer bill, and insisted that the bill should com mend Itself on Its jawn merits to every member. One Bank Gets All Benefit. "It is now optional." h said, "with the State Treasurer to deposit the state funds wherever he chooses, and it Is not uncom mon for a greater amount than $1,000,000 to be in his hands. This is placed in the banks or, to be more exact, in the Cap ita National Bank of Olympla. "As all sections contribute toward mak ing up the state's funds, why should not all sections be allowed to share in the benefits from depositing the money In local banks? A certain Seattle banker told me he would pay ?50,000 to have the money in his bank for the period that its present custodian has it." Clapp declared that C. J. Lord, presi dent of the Capital National Bank, has boasted that he would kill the bill. Senator Christian said of the bill that it wan one of the very few measures intro duced which proposed to bring in and not take out any money. Palmer Made Only Defense. The only defense of the movement to killr the bill was made by Palmer. He said that most of the state money on de posit belonged to the irreducible school fund, wlilch is subject to being called upon for large loans to the general fund, or for the purchase of bonds of school districts, counties and cities, and he in sisted that banks only paid interest on long-time deposits. Kennedy, who is a banker In Odessa, Insisted that banks paid interest on daily 'deposits. The motion to place the bill on the cal endar was defeated, 22 to 15, and the bill was indefinitely postponed. The same ac tion was taken in regard to Clapp's bill having the same general provisions. Earles Bill Brought Up. An attempt was suddenly made in the House this afternoon to secure action on the Earles sockeye salmon protection .bill, providing for a closed season of sir weeks In 1905 and 1S0S. The attempt grew out of a conference held between the opposing factions inter ested in the bill, at which Roth of "What com tried to get all parties to agree to a resolution specifying an unusual course lor the bill. The bill has not been acted on by committee and Roth's resolution provided that it be withdrawn from the committee, made a special order for to morrow at 11, be considered in committee of the whole, that the committee arise and report progress and that the rules be suspended and the bill placed on final passage without debate. Roth asserted that the whole object of the resolution was to offset amending the bill to death. He did not want an amended bill owuld rather have none. Thought They Saw Trick. The opponents of the bill thought they paw a parliamentary trick and the con ference broke up after a heated discus elbn. Roth threatening to delay action on the bill and the opponents declaring they would force the issue at once. This conference occurred late in the afternoon and was followed soon after by & motion from Twitchell on the floor of the House to withdraw the bill from com mlttee and take up on second reading. Roth broke Into an impassioned speech in which he demanded to know if his course of action at any time during the session was such as to create a suspicion as to his Integrity. He read the resolu tion be had prepared and insisted, as he " had In the conference, that it was in . tended to pass either a clean bill or none at alL He had started into a complete dlsausslon of the salmon fight when a mo tion to adjourn cut him off. By consent a motion was permitted to be made by Lyons- before adjournment making the bill a special order for to morrow at U o'clock. ESTIMATES ARE NOT ALLOWED State Officers and Institutions Are Very Much Disgruntled. OLTMP1A. Wash., March 2. (Special.) Intense dissatisfaction Is expressed by several of the state officers and Institu tions because of reductions made in their estimates of needed appropriations, as the joint committee on appropriations, meet ing last night, revised the bill heretofore prepared and introduced and cut out clerk here and there and reduced salaries in evnumber of Instances. The present re ductlons were mmade in the Secretary of State's and Land Commissioner's of fices. The Secretary of State Is also displeased over the small appropriation allowed him for capitol maintenance Bvcry improve ment asked except the. painting of the roof and the Installing of a transformer was cut out, including new walks and care of the lawns. The maintenance was reduced to 510,000, -which is the same amount as appropriated two years ag for the maintenance of the building before the annex was completed. This amount failed to come within JiOCO of maintain ing the old building. . The Influence of the Governor was called in today and several conferences wero held with members of the commit tee. The committee adopted a resolution last night that no changes should be made. All day the clerk was under strict orders to allow no one to see the bill as finally prepared. An-Inspection of the re vised bill tonight, however, shows that the paring has not been deep and that most officers are allowed in excess of the amounts given two years a?o. A big but unavailing kick has been made by the educational institutions, which secured about half they asked. HOUSE COMBINATION FAILS. Unable to Muster Two-Thirds on Re consideration of Clapp's Bill.

The Senate combination was more suc cessful, and It forced the making of the Davis factory inspection bill a special or der tomorrow afternoon at 1:30. Sen ator Christian tried to have them refer red to a committee, but the alignment was too strong for him. The Sonate passed the Congressional districting bill, with a few more amend ments.

MUCH OF THE BUTTER MELTED Phosphorous Cargo Would Not B Quenched, and Is Cast in Sea. EUREKA, Cal., March 2. The per- lahabla freight on the Oregon, mainly Dutter and consigned to nortnern ports, was transferred late tnis afternoon to the steamer Roanoko. Much of the butter had been melted by the heat, but a quantity stored forward is in fairly good condition. The pumps are still at work, clear- ing the water in the hold, and it Is doubtful If the steamer will sail south tomorrow as anticipated. Captain Warner is desirous of straightenlng the steamer up beforeJ putting to sea. and as pumping water falls to accomplish this it will be neces sary to shift the entire cargo of 200 tons. The vessel Is badly buckled above and below the water line. An Inspection shows the cargo to be very inflammable, consisting of paints, oil, fire crackers and phosphorous. The damage 'to the cargo by the phosphor ous fire turns out to be more serious than first reported. The phosphorous could not be put out, and finally the entire lot of 12 or 14 cases had to be thrown overboard to prevent firing the wholo forward compartment. Captain Pillsbury, the marine under writers report, is still unable to est! mate the exact loss, but admits that it will run into many thousands of W. lars. RESIGNATION OF I. A.
