AIM AT SENATOR KUYKENDALL Authors of Movement Against Normal . Schools Insist That an Attempt Is Being Made to Divert Voters From the Right Track. MTINNVILLB. Or.. March 6. (Special.)- Senator Kuykendall's position that opponents of the present Normal Schools system should -resort to the Initiative rather than the referendum, as the tying up of appropriations Xor various state institutions would very materially increase' the cost of mainte nance of these institutions, "has brought forth the following statement and list of questions from tne Tamhill referen dum committee: "As an attempt is now being- made by some members of the Legislature who were most active in passing- the Normal School graft to humbug the people and turn them- away from the roferendum movement " on the appro priation bill anil' substitute the irritia- , tii'c, we would like the ' privilege -of asking these persons a: few questions, . which we would like them to answer. 6iri.ee Senator Kuykendall is quoted, so extensively probably he will answer some of them. "First Did he, or any of the persons who are so active with him In opposing the referendum, make any effort to se cure the. -introduction of separate bills appropriating-" these funds? Did he or any of bis friends ever attempt to make the Normal School appropriations a sep arate bill? "Second The Normal School counties had six members in the Senate and 12 in the House. Will he explain the com bination by which these members were enabled to compel the other 24 Sena tors and the other 48 Representatives to do their bidding? Did Senator Kuykendail Promise?. "Third Is it a fact that Senator Kuy kendail had to promise the Normal Sclibol county men that he would 'stand in in order that he would receive their voles to elect him President .-of the Scijate? "FourthDid ilr. Jilllls or his active supporters have to promise the Repre sentatives from the Normal School counties that' they would support the appropriation for these institutions, in order that he might be elected Speaker of the House? Is it fair that the tax payers should pay the price for this? "Fifth If the referendum is called and the people defeat this bill, is not that -a notice that the people do not indorse the Normal School graft? "Sixth Jt this appropriation is held up by the referendum petltion.will the Normal Schools, if they continue to run. not be doing so on their own re sponsibility, without the state being in any way responsible? "Seventh How Jo the advocates of the Initiative know that the people will knock out the Normal Schools? Why, Then, the Appropriations? "Eighth If they know that the peo ple are opposed to the Normal Schools, why did they .make these appropria tions? "Ninth Suppose the people pay $S5, 000 interest and thereby save at this time about 5400,000 on the appropria tions, how much are they loser? "Tenth In what way does the refer endum niovcmeht interfere with the initiative? Cannot the initiative peti tions be filed in time for the next elec tion, and the people -vote on that and on the referendum at the same time? "Eleventh Will the successful candi dates for the Speaker of the House anil for President of the Senate please atateT what promises they had to make as to the appropriations in order to be elcoted? Why the Change of Plan? "Twelfth Since the movement to get up the initiative is for the purpose of defeating the ..referendum movement, is it not a good idea to go ahead with the referendum and let the Initiative come later? 'Thirteenth How many of the Sen ators and "Representatives composing the ways and means committee of the late session of the Legislature were from the Normal School counties? Will Senator Kuykendail or Representative Mills please explain how so many from these Normal School counties came to be selected tor that committee? Did the selection of- the members of this committee have anything ,t do with the -organization of the House and Sen ate? "A dandld answer of the above .ques tions would be greatly appreciated by tne public "M. B. HENDRICK. -D. I. ASBURT. "J.'C. COOPER, -W. J. LINTON, ' W. C. HAGERTY, "" "D. STOUT, "H. L.

"Printed petitions requesting a referen dum vote on the appropriations bill passed by the late session of the Legis lature were received In Linn County today and will "be circulated this week. A mass meeting- has been called In Leb anon for Wednesday night to indorse the movement. j 'Senator M. A. Miller, of Lebanon, v$hn interviewed by long-distance tel ephone tonights a!d he believed the people of Linn County were more in ,favor of.-the critlhal plan of invoking the referendum Jnstead of adopting the initiative In attacking- the Normal Schools. Opinion on this point varies, however, but it is certain the-petitions requesting- a referendum vote will re ceive a great many signatures in this county. REFERENDUM IDEA GROWS. "Father" U'Ren Receives Communi cations From All Over the State. OREGON CITT, Or.. March 6. (Spe cial.) "While I am satisfied that con structive' legislation proposed by initia tive petition is a better means of treat ing the normal school question than is the plan of Invoking the referendum," said W- S. U'Ren today, "still I do not think there Is any possible way to pre vent the movement that was started at the McMlnnvIlle mass meeting from be ing carried out. By treating the sub ject through the Initiative the normal schools would have two years in which to close up their business, and this could be done it the appropriation bill were not referred at this time. 'The sentiment, however, demanding that the referendum be invoked on the aproprlation bill is growing In every section of the state," continued Mr. U'Ren. "Today I received several let ters from different sections of the state, and each represents the sentiment in that respective locality to be pro nounced for employing the referendum without delay. The autnor of one let ter was so much in earnest ho wrote that even It the hold-up of the appro priations contained in the bill should cost the state $100,000, the taxpayers would profit, for the referendum Is aimed at items in the bill that aggre gate nearly $150,000." Mr. U'Ren visited McMinnvIlle Satur day for the purpose of suggesting" -the use of initiative legislation rather than the referendum in the treatment of the case, but he found the Yamhill people determined to refer the bill to the peo ple at once. Sentiment among the or iginators of the referendum movement at this time is not only against the ap propriations for the three minor normal schools of the state and aggregating 5130,000, but serious objections are made to several items that have been appropriated for the State University and the State Agricultural College. "The Tamhill people," stated Mr. U'Ren. "are determined to invoke the referendum on the appropriation bill, not only to cut oft this particular ex travagance, but also os a matter of principle to strike a death-blow to the log-rolling practices of the state school combination, holding that the Agri cultural College and the University del egations are as guilty and dangerous as the normal school representatives."

G. A. R., That, by the action of the said Hon. C. W. Fulton, the' President of the United States has been prevailed upon to make an appointment In dlroot opposition to the wishes of the people of this community, as expressed by their petition, in violation of the principle of home rule, so dear to every American, In direct opposition to the policy of tho Admin istration, as repeatedly declared by President Roosevelt, to reappoint a faithful officer, espe cially where the officer has done service in behalf of his country, and In absolute violation of the principle of the civil service law, of -which our President has been bo distinguished an advocate; Resolved, That we regard the action of Hon.

UNFIT TO STAND TRIAL NOW Held Under Bonds on Charces of Forgery and Larceny by Bailee Some Creditors Willing to Dismiss Case. PENDLETON. Or.. March 6. (Spe cial.) C. B. Wade, against whom charges of forgery and larceny by bailee were brought some time ago. and who was held to the Circuit Court under $500 bonds, is a physical and mental wreck, according to the tes timony of the four leading physicians who made an examination of Wade's condition today. The examination was made at tho Instance of District At torney G. W. Phelps, for the purpose of ascertaining the true mental and physical condition of the defaulting cashier in the event criminal action would be begun during- the coming July session of the Circuit Court. County Physician W. G. Cole and Drs. F. W. Vincent, C. J. Smith and J. V. Best made the examination and re ported that Wade was in a state of mental and physlcial collapse and in no event In a condition to stand trial. It had been the current belief that Wade's condition had been affected both for the sake of sympathy and to escape trial in the Criminal Court. Though satisfied that Wade's pres ent condition would not permit trial procedure District Attorney Phelps this afternoon filed informations of forgery and larceny by bailee against the ex-cashier, concluding to con tinue the case until such time as Wade was able to appear for triaL The bonds for the forgery charges were fixed at $4000 and the larceny charge at $3000. Four editions were filed this morn ing by creditors of Wade to dismiss the case, but all were denied. One peti tion was signed by G. W. Rugg. H. F. Johnson and E. J. Sommerville. Rugg was a heavy loser through Wade's manipulations. Johnson and Sommer vllle as bondsmen for Wade while ad ministrator for the Craig estate, were required to make good the amount of the bonds. JH.000. On account of Wade's present condi tion many other heavy losers petitioned for the dismissal of the case. District Attorney Phelps says not withstanding the attitude of Wade's creditors and influential friends, the case will be commenced as soon as pos sible to do so, as he believes that Wade Is srullty of both charges. Late this evening Wade secured bonds for his release. The bondsmen are Robert Forster, William Slusher and J. F. Robinson. WOULD LIKE TO BE GOVERNOR Mayor Johns of Baker City Does Not See His Way Clear Yet. BAKER CITY, Or.. March S. (Special.) Mayor Johns, of this city. Is pondering the matter of his candidacy for the Gov ernorship very carefully. His name has been frequently mentioned In connection with the Republican nomination for Gov ernor, but not until recently has the matter of a formal declaration on his part been broached by his friends. Quite recently the question has been put to him plump: "Are you going to be a candidate for the Republican nomina tion for Governor next year?" This question has been propounded by some of his friends and well-wishers, who are very anxious to know what he proposes to do. When approached recently Mayor Johns said that It was true that he had been asked to become a candidate for the Re publican nomination for Governor, but that he had not given any one to under stand that he was or would be a candidate for Governor. It is known that while Mr. Johns ap preciates the kindness of his personal friends, many of whom have urged him to enter the race, he still has grave doubts about the advisability of his becoming a candidate for Governor. Mr. Johns has as large a practice as any lawyer in Eastern Oregon. He has recently built a fine residence in this city, and made ex tensive preparations to settle down and enjoy himself. He says he has no wish or desire to leave Baker City perma nently, nor does he want to give up his law practice. The campaign for the nomination under the direct-primary law will be a matter of considerable expense to all candidates for state officers and for the Governorship especially, and If successful the nominee will have to face a very lively and ex pensive campaign. While not hesitating on account of the expense, the question has arisen In the mind of the Mayor whether it Js advisable to give up a law practice In a growing and prosperous community, which is worth almost twice as much per annum as the Governorship, or to continue In the even lenOr of his ways and eschew politics. Mr. Johns admits that he is possessed with an ambitious spirit, and that he feels competent to discharge the duties of the office in a satisfactory manner. Some of his closest friends are urging Mr. Johns to make a formal declaration of his can dldacy. DIVIDENDS IN CASH OR IN STOCK Packing Company Buyers Will Let All Creditors in On the Deal.

One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleas ant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therjefrom. . Its active princi ples and quality ate known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore- met with their approval, as well as with F the favor of many millious of well informed persons who know ' of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of knoyn quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers : those who are informed to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect Denenciai errects lr tney ao not get tne genuine remedy.
