PULLMAN GOLLEGE
IS FIGHTING FAIR
East Side Members Seeking to
Secure Large Appropria
tion for Their School.
PIPER'S SCHEME IN FAVOR
Flan Is Heartily Supported, and the
Belief at Olympia That
Seattle Will Realize Her
Million Dollars.
OrITMFIA. Wash., Jan. 31. (Spe
rlal.) Senator Piper's four Alaska-Yukon-Paclfic
Exposition bills reached
the House near the close of the morn
Ing session, and were at once referred
to the appropriations committee. This
committee met this evening and took
up consideration of the bills. It hns
developed that Bryan's Pullman College
supporters In the House are making
a fght on the bill, using this attack to
try to force friends of the measure to
support grossly extravagant appropria
tion for the East Pide school. Proba
bly to meet just this kind of opposi
tion Speaker Falconer this evening
made It a point to be present at the
meeting of the appropriation commit
tee, and to urge each member to make
haste slowly, to consider the bills care
fully, so that If questioned on the floor
when the bills come up for passage
every committee-man will be ready to
give reasons for his vote.
Tand Commissioner K. W. Ross ap
peared before the committee and with
maps of the lakes showed the lands it is
proposed to sell to provide the fund. Mr.
Ros heartily approved the plan and de
clared. In his judgment, more than $1,500.
000 could he obtained from the sales of
the land. Just now. when exposition mat
ters are forcing lake values up. he said
he was Convinced better prices would be
realized from these proposed sales than
possibly could be otherwise secured In
later ycrfrs for a long time. He was
closely questioned and in every way gave
strong reasons in favor of passage ot the
bills.
Senator C'otterlll. of King County,
was also present to v.rge favorable ac
tion on the bills. Senator Piper has
been confined to his room today with
an attack of grip, but through friends
kept close tab on the Mils, and to
night expressed the belief that every
thing Is working most satisfactory.
He said he is particularly pleased at
the determination to take time Uhor
oughly to investigate, as he Is certain
full knowledge of the plan will insure
enthusiastic approval.
The committee did not complete con
sideration of the bills tonight, and will
resume work on them tomorrow after
noon. So it is probable they will not
be reported for passage until early next
week.
constitution an increase in salary would
not affect the present members of the
bench during the terms for which they
had been elected. The vote on passage
was 27 to 12. Negative votes were cast
by Boone. Brett Condon, Cotterlll, Klde
mlller, Kline, Paulhamus, Reed, Ruth,
Smith. Veness and Watson.
Another debate occurred in the Senate
over the Graves bill providing that the
jury should fix the sentence in murder
cases. Rands, of Clarke, from a desire
to secure an expression of opinion from
the Senators, offered an amendment to
strike "suffer death-' from the present
law.
Graves defended his bill and urged
against the death penalty.
Nichols, of King, referred sarcastically
to Graves advanced thought and de
manded protection for the public from
the beasts who do murder. Blair, of San
Juan, deliverd his first speech of the
session In opposition to the bill. Booth,
of King, moved to Indefinitely postpone,
which carried by a vote of 27 to 12. '
The Senate passed bill 63, by Graves,
requiring that the judge's charge to the
jury shall be delivered prior to the ar
gument of counsel.
Kight new bills were introduced In the
Senate. In the House, IS bills were in
troduced, including one by Megler.
amending the closed season law regard
ing salmon-fishing on the Columbia, and
providing a week-end close season during
the otherwise open time for fishing.
Five House bills were passed by the
House, including a county depository
bill by which the counties will receive
two per cent rate Interest on county
funds, and a bill Increasing the state
highway fund from a quarter of a mill
annual levy to a sum not to exceed one
half mill. The House also passed a
memorial to Congress, asking that the
general Federal laws allowing construc
tion of public roads across Government
lands should be extended to include for
est reserve lands.
MAKE JONES COMMISSIONER
Popular King County Senator to (ic
on Railroad Board.
OTTMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 31. (Special.)
President Pro Tern. Jones of the State
Senate will be appointed a member of the
State Railroad Commission to succeed to
the position made vacant by the resig
nation of Jnhn.S. McMillln, of Roche
Harbor and Seattle. That was determined
here today. Mr. Jones will continue his
services in the Senate until after ad
journment of the Legislature, so that his
appointment will not be effective until
about March 13. and may not be formally
made until that time.
Today a number of prominent South
west lumbermen and other members of
the Gray's Harbor commercial organiza
tions were here to appear before the com
mission to urge legislation to set aside
certain discriminating freight rates to
which they claim the harbor country is
being subjected for the benefit of the
Puget Sound jobbers. While here the
lumbermen called on Mr. Jones and as
sured him of their endorsement for the
posit Inn, and later, when the visitors
called on the Governor, they urged the
appointment of Jones.
The committee from, the Pacific Coast
Lumber Manufacturers' Association also
hold a conference with Mr. Jones and as
sured him of their support. Saturday last
the Southwest lumbermen endorsed W. C.
Miles, of Globe, for the position, but
when it was seen that Jones was de
veloping such remarkable strength, a
motion to make it unanimous appeared to
be in order and it is expected that frjends
of Mr. Miles will withdraw his tiame
from those tinder consideration.
Mr. Jones has the backing of his own
and Pierce County delegation, of the
King County delegation, and practically
all of the Senate insurgents, of which he
Ws largely instrumental in organizing.
His candidacy has been personally en
dorsed to the Governor, by J. E. Chil
berg. of the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc Expo
sition and by other prominent Seattle
men. Jones is quiet, unassuming and
very popular. He has been a railroad em
ploye for years at Tacoma, but one of the
employes whom the company could never
control. Grosscup, counsel of that road
at Tacoma, has on several occasions used
most unparliamentary language in ex
pressing his opinion of Jones on occa
sions when the attorney sought to in
fluence Jones' political actions on behalf
of the company. Jones has served two
terms on the Tacoma City Council, and
was President of that bods'. He is not
a railway traffic man In any sense of the
term, having had no experience In that
branch of transportation, but he has good
special- knowledge of railway operations,
and a wide acquaintance with railway
employes and methods.
Already, with prospect that he will be
on the commission, there has been a
change In the sentiment of the Legisla
ture toward the commission, and now it
is stared that every amendment to the
commission law asked will be cheerfully
granted, so as to give the body all the
power possible to carry out its work to
the best advantage. Paulhamus, who
early in the session was apparently most
antagonistic to the commission personnel
and methods, now declares he will sup
port every request it makes for new legis
lation and extended powers.
GIVE COTTERILL MORE TIME
Committee on Elections Will Tcrmlt
Him to State His Case.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 31. (Special.)
The contest of Joe Lyons, Republican, for
the seat occupied by Senator George F.
Cotterill, of King County, was heard to
day by the Senate committee on privi
leges and elections. Contestant and con
testee were each represented by well
known Seattle attorneys. The committee
decided unanimously that the old terri
torial law was not binding, but that as a
rule of practice notice should be given,
and because of failure to give this notice
it was decided that Cotterill should be
given until Wednesday to file answer to
show if he has been prejudiced in any
way by failure of contestant to follow this
procedure. If he shows such prejudice
to the satisfaction of Vie committee, then
the committee will recommend the con
test be dismissed, otherwise the matter
will be taken up on its merits.
The Grays Harbor delegation here to
day on leaving for home this evening
tendered an invitation to the Legislature
to visit the Harbor next Friday even
ing, and Indications are the invitation
will be accepted. The residents are very'
anxious to secure legislative aid In cre
ating a new county to Include the Grays
Harbor district and also wish to direct
the attention of law-makers generally, to
that part of the Southwest.
The House Judiciary committee tonight
reported for passage bills which will
keep messenger boys out of the restricted
districts of cities, and which will punish
by heavy fines and imprisonment any
person who entices from home a female
of less than 19 years.
F. M. Fortune, who lost the sight of
one eye last Spring by accident while
employed as accountant at the State
School at Vancouver, is here and has
a bill which the Legislature will be asked
to pass, granting him & pension or cash
compensation.
The joint committee on privileges
and elections met this evening and for
several hours listened to officers of
the state primary league. The House
public morals committee will submit
two reports on the local option bill, a
majority favoring the measure and a
minority recommending its indefinite
postponement.
Megler of Wahkiakum, House chair
man of the congressional apportion
ment, having refused to allow a report
on the state congressional apportion
ment to come from his committee,
Rosenhaupt in the "Senate today intro
duced a measure similar to that of
fered In the House except that it takes
Kitsap County from the second and
places it in the First district.
The House penitentiary committee
reported favorably bills appropriating
$200,000 for doubling the jute mill and
providing for offering the grain bags
for sale among wheat-growing coun
ties.
RAISE PAY SUPREME JUDGES
Washington Senate, However, Object
to Increase for Superior Judges.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 31. (Special.)
For more than two hours today the
Senators fought over amendments to the
bill Increasing the salary of Supreme
Court Judges and Judges of the Su
perior Court, and finally passed the
measure as it was originally drawn. ""
There was no criticism of the Increased
salary for members of the Supreme
Court, but there was a lively debate over
attempts to Increase salaries of Superior
Court Judges for certain counties from
those named in the bill. It was pointed
out during the discussion that under the
IIXX FARMERS ARE ANXIOUS
Tenr Much Grain Has Been Injured
by Recent Cold Snap.
ALBANY, Or., Jan. 31. (Special.) Great
uneasiness prevails among farmers ' in
this part of the state regarding probable
injury to the growing grain. It is feared
the recent cold weather did great dam
age. However, it will be impossible to
learn the extent of the damage for about
10 days.
The Injury, if any, came from alternate
freezing and thawing of the ground, fol
lowing the extreme cold weatlier. In
all low places where there was water on
the ground it is feared the grain is
ruined. Clover is said to have suffered
especially and wheat is believed to have
been greatly damaged.
FREEZE KILLS WHEAT PESTS
Harrisburg Farmers Regard This as
Compensation for Short Crop.
HARRISBURG, Or., Jan. 31. (Special.)
The wheat crop in this vicinity is re
ported badly damaged by the late hard
freeze. However, it is claimed that the
freezing of the ground, besides destroy
ing a large proportion of gram pests.
has improved Its producing qualitl
which will, to some extent, repair the
apparent loss. Oats have fared much
worse. It is estimated that on the aver
age xone half the crop is killed, and
many fields will have to be reseeded in
the Spring.
B. Grigsby, of North Beach.
HOQUIAM, Wash.. Jan. 31. (Special.)
Benjamin Grigsby, a pioneer ot North
Beach, died at his home in this city to

VAN DUSEH-S PLAN
TO
SAVE
SALMON
Master . Fish Warden Would
Stop Fishing Below
Celilo Falls.
SUBMITS ANNUAL REPORT
No Other Recommendation of Im
portance 3Iadc Object Is to
Increase Supply of Eggs
for Hatcheries.
SALBM, Or., Jan. 31. (Special.) To
remedy the shortage of hatchery salmon
In Columbia waters. Master Fish Warden
Van Dusen advises that fishing of all
kinds be stopped five or ten miles below
Celilo Falls. This in his annual report
submitted by him yesterday to the State
Board of Fish Commissioners.
This is the only recommendation of im
portance, as to Columbia River fisheries,
in the report. It 'would have the effect
of putting out of business a number of
wheels on both sides of the river and
two or three seines below Celilo. Mr.
Van Dusen makes no recommendation as
to shortening the open season or as to
prohibiting fishing below Sand Island at
the mouth of the river, or as to regula
tion of gill nets, traps and seines. His
remedy he words as follows r -
In order to remedy matters, I, think that
fishing of all kinds should be topped at
this point (the Celilo 1 Alls) I nd below
thereof for a distance of five o lien miles.
for It la Just as natural for tli salmon to
stop at these obstructions and wait, In the
deep pools below, for favoruble conditions
before undertaking to make the ascent, as
It is for the salmon in the coast streams to
stop and wait at the head of tide for fa
vorable conditions. Then, again, a great
many salmon are heavy with spawn when
they reach this point, and are not strong
enough to make the swift water, and if left
alone would drop back and spawn on the
vast extent of natural spawning bars that
aro In the Immediate vicinity below.
Van Dusen Gives Reasons.
Mr. Van Dusen's reason for this recom
mendation is not the argument of the
lower river against Ashing- above tide
water, but that while tho salmon are
trying to pass over Celilo Falls, they
should not be preyed upon by any kind
of gear.
'I find, says he, "there are plenty or
ways for fish to get by, if they are left
alone until disposed to make the ascent."
He cites that large numbers of salmon
collect below the falls, after escaping the
down-river gear.
The collection of spawn at our dif
ferent "hatcheries tributary to the Colum
bia River in 1906, was as follows:

ARRESTED FOR $20,000 THEFT
Philadelphia Young Man Found In
Idaho After Long Search.
MOSCOW. Idaho, Jan. 31. (Special.)
William K. Culin. who suddenly disap
peared from Philadelphia over a year
ago. taking with him It is alleged over
$20,000 belonging to the firm of Allen &
Company, furriers, with whom he was
employed as a bookkeeper, was arrested
today at Harvard,' 30 miles north of here,
by Sheriff Keane of this county and de
tectives Thomas H. Dewey and John H.
Lynch of Philadelphia.
The arrest of Culln is conceded to be
one of the biggest criminal catches of
the year. Since his sudden disappearance
detectives have been scouring the country
in search of him and over J12.000 - was
expended before he was finally placed in
the hands of the law.
Nearly a year ago: a friend of Culln re
ceived a letter from him from Spokane
and -since that time a vigorous search
has been going on throughout the west
ern country- About two weeks ago. the
two detectives started their search in
North Idaho, and while employed there,
learned that a man answering the
description of Culln was known to be in
the employ of the Potlatch Lumber Com
pany. After giving a detailed description
of the man, the company officials said
they believed Culin was in their employ
and had worked in the capacity of sub
auditor for two months.
Culln had not changed his name and
was eaelly found. Ho made no denial of
the charge,, and stated , that he would re
turn willingly with officers. He claimed
the matter had been adjusted - by his
friends. The detectives and their charge
left for the East today. Culin. it is
learned comes from a wealthy and
respectable family. During his services
with Allen and Company, he was con
sidered one of their most faithful men.

Sir. Van Dusen comments on the large
increase of salmon in the coast streams,
which he attributes to hatcheries and to
the law of 1901. prohibiting the taking of
fish above tidewater and the establish
ment of "dead lines" on all the coast
streams.
He says that It is the nature of salmon
entering such places not to ascend the
rivers at once, hut to lie in deep pools
until Fall rains set in, when they pass
to their spawning grounds. This enabled
fishermen to "clean up" the fish, thus
leaving few for .propagation. The report
says: ,
Chinook Once "Fished Out."
Prior to 1901 the fishing was carried on
tn this way with no restrictions whatever:
and on account of such excessive fishing;
the product kept decreasing- gradually from
year to year until the streams were, prac
tically speaklns;. all fished out of the Chi
nook variety ot salmon and it became very
apparent to all those interested that some
thing had to be done or the product would
be entirely lost to our state:, for. the Spring
close seaaon under such conditions was of
no apparent service, neither was tho Sun
day close season. To relieve the situation,
tidewater lines were agreed upon and laws
enacted to that effect.
Since then we have been enabled to get
a foil supply of fish for spawning purposes
at all of our hatrfieries situated on the
Coast streams, and in addition thereto,
thousands have been permitted to pass by
to their natural spawning grounds; all of
which has, without doubt, had its effect
in replenishing these streams.
To show, the increase of the fish taken

Council Rescinds Former Action and
Mayor France In Defiance
Pledges $1000 Himself.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 31. (Spe
cial.) The City Council that went out
of power January 1 passed a reso
lution making the usual guarantee to
Andrew Carnegie provided he gave
$15,000 for a building. The citizens
had pledged a site which cost $1200 a
year ago. The new-Council last night
rescinded the resolution, and Mayor
France subscribed $1000 and Council
man Sherwood $G00 with the under
standing that the balance of the
$ir.000 be raised by the public. This
action was taken on the ground that
the labor unions had passed resolu
tions condemning the taking of money
from Mr. Carnegie for the structure.
The action of the Council has cre
ated an uproar among those who think
that the action of the unions borders
on anarchy. As the lot has advanced
now to nearly treble its purchase price
the majority of the subscribers are in
favor of selling it and returning the
money. In the meantime a letter has
been received from Mr. Carnegie grant
ing tho request, and an architect lias
drawn the plans for the library.
