14 THE MORXTNU OKKGOIAJV, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1907. COMPELS SOUS TO FAGE Local Option Bill Defeated Again on Call of House at Olympia. AUTHOR FORCES A VOTE ci-Reaiit-at-Arms Hounds Up Ab bcntecs Dodging ttoll Call New Jlill Appropriates $125,000 Tor Kiver Improvement. OLYMriA, Wash., Feb. 20. (Special.) A bill by Ihe appropriations committee was introduced in the House this after noon appropriating J125,0n0 for improve ment of the Columbia and Snake Kivers. As a committees bill, the measure went on the calendar at once and will be reached at an early date, although friends of the bill will make no special effort to hasten conclusion out of order. This was the lust day under the House resolution for tho Introduction of bills and today TO new House measures were Introduced, making 4!'l for the session. . The House passed, almost unanimously, un anti-cigarette hill: tabled, after a fight, a motion to reconsider the defeat of the local option measure, and passed by a vote of B7 to 24 the Senate bill providing for a 15,000 executive mansion In this city. A feature of the morning session was the discussion over the passage of the Senate bill covering an increase In the salaries of Supreme and Superior Court Judges. Speaker Falconer went on the floor to oppose any Increase In saTaries of Superior Judges, and after a long and fairly general debate all reference to Superior Judges were cut out of the bill. Then Heid of Tacoma. chairman of the Judiciary committee, moved that his com mittee's recommendation reducing the salaries named In the bill for Supreme Judges from JK00 to $5000 be not ap proved. This combination of negatives tangled the House for about 30 minutes, and it was not until the acting Speaker swept aside -the true motion and put the arbi trary question, "Shall the salaries of the Supreme Court Judges he Jno?" that the House members were able to vote intelli gently. This .motion carried by a large majority. Prolie Oyster Land Bill. At the afternoon session the appropria tions committee submitted a resolution, which was adopted, providing for a spe cial commltee of five Representatives and four Senators to investigate and report not later than February 27 on Beach's House bill 39, which Is identical with Ruth's bill in the Senate, confirming title to thousands of acres of oyster lands leased by the state. There was a long debate over passage of the bill making an appropriation for the residence of the Governor. Reld of Tacoma was the chief speaker against the measure. He said that the expendi ture was unnecessary and that It was poor financial policy to place an ad ditional mortgage against the already overburdened Capitol grant. Carlyon of Thurston and Cole of Seattle spoke for the bill, urging particularly that many prominent people from ail over will, many of them, visit the capital and will necessarily he enter tained by the Governor. The bill carried, 67 to 24. after which Reld changed his vote from no to aye and gave notice of a motion to reconsider. Beach moved reconsideration of yes terday's vote by which the local option bill was defeated. Reld moved to table the motion, which the Speaker de clared carried. l,ater in the session Johnson, father of the bill, made the point of order that the Speaker had decided this motion without calling for the "noes." The Speaker sustained the point of order, and was about to recall the motion, when Johnson demanded a call of the House. Kirkpatrlck of King spoke in favor of the tall, asserting that many of the House members were attempting to dodge going on record. Johnson In sisted on his call, saying the matter was of supreme importance. The doors were locked and the sergeant-at-arms went after the absentees. . Compels All to Vote. Those attending the Ross investiga tion were first, brought in and asked a ruling whether they were required to answer a call of the House. The Speaker ruled they were. Reld at tempted to block further proceedings and the Speaker ordered the floor cleared of all but members to enable the rising vote to he accurately deter mined. The first motion to dispense with the call was defeated, but later was renewed sucessf ully. The chair then put the motion to lay on the table and on roll-call the motion carried 46 to 41. Byerly of Chehalis made a speech that was received with uproarious laughter on behalf of the anti-cigarette bill. Kirkpatrlck and Ranck also spoke for the bill, which went through with a whoop, and on motion of Reld was orderj-d immediately transmitted to the Senate, where the House mem bers confidently expect It will be slaughtered. One of the important new bills intro duced today amends the Sunday clos ing law to provide that the voters of any community may by majority vote at special election doclare for an open or closed town Sundays. Blackmore of Clark Introduced a libel bill favored by the State Press Association. The House passed six Senate bills, including one Increasing salaries of Supreme Court Judges to $6000. The Senate introduced 12 bills, mak ing 25" to date, passed nine bills and defeated five measures. Those defeated were Rands' bill to allow Vancouver to grant the Portland & Seattle road a right of way to a wharf over lands owned by that town; a bill by Paui hamer prohibiting corporations own ing stock of another, such as the own ership of the Portland & Seattle by the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific: Graves' bill, making 2 cents the maximum railroad fare, and the Blair anti-lobbyist bill. . LECTURES AT ST. DAVID'S Bishop Si-adding Gives First of Se ries of Talks on Church History. The first of a series of five popular stereoptlcon lectures on church history was given by Bishop Scaddlng last night at St. David's Episcopal Church in East Portland. Friday night the lecture will be repeated at the Trinity parish-house, Nineteenth and Everett streets. The free lecture last night was well attended, and as the subject as well as the stereoptlcon views is Ml an innovation In the church, the bishop looks for a crowded house next Friday night. The address last night was "From the Roman Conquest to the Mission of St. Augustine," dating from B. C. 55 to A. D. 597. The audience was told of the establishment of the church in Great Britain as handed down in leg ends and by historical facts. He pic tured the invasion of the Angles and the Saxons into the British Isles, and of the attendant results to the creeds of the church and to the believers. Several slides showed the refuge which the church was compelled to take in rocky fastnesses. The ruins of some of these meeting-places, cut in the solid rock, are still to be seen. The bishop also told of the work of St. Augustine. St. Gregory and of the founding of Canterbury. The lecture closed with several views of charac teristic Saxon architecture. RETURNED TO FACE CHARGE Ex-County Treasurer Fisher Taken Back to Stevenson, Wash. In the custody of Sheriff James Haf fey, cx-Treasurer J. A. Fisher, of Skama nia County, Wash., was returned to Stevenson, the county seat, yesterday morning. Fisher was arrested here Tues day night on a warrant charging em bezzlement of $4500 public funds, and It is said he spent the greater portion of It on a young woman in Portland, whose identity has not been revealed. Fisher refused to discuss his plight, neither would he reveal the name of the young woman upon whom he is said to have lavished the small fortune alleged to have been taken from the funds of the county. Fisher Is a physical wreck and 51 years old. and it is the prediction of those who have long known him that he will not be able to undergo the ordeal of a. trial, and they look for him to collapse. Unless he pleads guilty to the offense charged, he will be indicted in the near future. Fisher was elected to the position of Clerk and Auditor of Skamania County last November by a large majority. He was trusted in' the community and his disgrace was a great surprise. TAKING UP TIMBER CLAIMS Portland Detectives and Others Go to Fossil to Make Final Proof. The local branch of the Pinkerton Na tional Detective Agency has been struck by the prevailing timber craze, and dur ing the past week the office force has had several big gaps In it. due to the absence of Ben Kemble, superintendent of the Northwest division ' (Portland, Se attle and Spokane), Otto H. Kulper, su perintendent of the Portland office, and David G. Duncan, assistant superinten dent of the Portland office. They are at Fossil, Or., making final proof on their claims before United States Commissioner James S. Stewart. Other well-known Portlanders who went to Fossil to make final proof on timber claims during the week were John W. MacKenzie, Pacific Coast manager of Graton & Knight Belt Manufacturing Company, and Fred Cooper, superinten dent of the Portland Railway Company. Nels Sorenson. president of the striking Carmen's Union, who recently lost his Job, went to Fossil a few days ago to file on a timber claim, and he was pre ceded by a number of streetcar conduc tors and motormen, and several Portland postoffice clerks and their wives and friends, who all filed timber claims before mlr. Stewart. Hunjeds of claims have been taken up in iVheeler County during the past year, and now there Is very little tlm berland left In the county, outside of the Government reserves, which contain immense forests of yellow pine, fir and tamarack. Wheeler County's tax roll will show a very perceptible increase when all the Umber claims taken up within its bor ders are patented. ' REV. F. J. WARREN RESIGNS Pastor Who Was Accused by Another Minister Will Leave State. Rev. Fred J. Warren, of the St. Johns Congregational Church, handed in his resignation last Sunday, to take effect at the expiration of his present term in May. Rev. Mr. Warren, it is said, con templates returning to his home in Iowa. For some months past Mr. Warren has been engaged in the real estate business in St. Johns in addition to his work as pastor, but It is said that he does not Intend to continue in this for a great length of time. Mr. Warren was accused last August by Rev. C. M. Smythe. formerly of the Mississippi-avenue Congregational Church, of . alienating the affections of Smythe's wife. This sensational charge, which was made from the pul pit of the St. Johns church one Sunday morning, was denounced as false by Warren's intimate friends and by the members of his flock. When his six-months' term expired last November, he was reappointed to the pastorate at St. Johns, and the congregation has shown in many ways that its confidence in his character has not been shaken. Mr. Smythe is now working on the Estacada and Oregon City electric lines as niotorman. Y. 31. C. A. Handball Tournament. A handball tournament has been ar ranged at the Y. M. C.

Sketched From I Life, t .....4 CHAP1N ACT CUTS OFF FREE PASSES Railway Commission Law Will Be Observed by Roads, Commencing Today. ANNUALS TO BE CALLED IN Trip Passes Unused Will Xot Be Ac cepted by Conductors When Presented Excepted Classes Are Defined. Commencing today there will not be an other railroad pass issued in the state ex cept to employes of the railroads and certain objects of charity and members of other designated classes who are per mitted to accept free railroad transpor tation by the terms of the law. The Chapin act, providing for a railroad com mission, and at the same time declaring that no discrimination shall be shown by the railroads in fares by granting a lower rate to one than to finother, effectually cuts off all railway passes. Annuals now out and all trip passes which have been issued will be recalled and canceled. Conductors on trains are notified that no passes of whatever de scription, unless held by those favored classes who may still take free trans portation, issued prior to February 20. are to be honored. The order to be put into effect today by the railroads of this state is sweeping. It includes every bit of pasteboard held by anyone outside of the railroad employ, wo matter how influential he may be. The railroads themselves are putting the anti pass edict into effect without waiting to be ordered to do so by the newly-appointed railroad commission. The Harrlman officials realize that in passing the Chapin bill, the legislators probably overreached themselves and did more than they in tended, for, curiously enough, the law will compel the solons themselves to pay their fare home from the capital. The bill to compel the railroads to issue passes to state officials will not help, unless an emergency clause is inserted, for it will not become a law in time for the return trip. Completes Work of Hepburn Act. The Chapin law completes the work of the Hepburn act, which cut off all inter state passes the first of the year, and the discomfiture of the habitual pass holder is complete. While the Hepburn act did not affect passes within the state, the new law finishes the work thus started. The Harriman lines have decided that the only possible interpretation that can be put on the Chapin bill is that the issuance of passes by the railroad companies is illegal. The Hammond lines will also withhold passes com mencing today, until attorneys for the Hammond interests render an opinion in the matter. It is said that there is no dobut that this opinion will make the embargo on free transportation perpetual. The Northern Pacific will also cut off the pass graft and has practically put the order into effect. General Manager O'Brien, of the Southern Pacific and O. R. N. lines in the Northwest is out of the city, but Colonel Crooks, his assistant, said yesterday: "Owing to the fact that the act has taken effect immediately. It has been impossible In the short time allowed to notify either by circular or letter the various persons holding free trans portation on our lines. The order goes into effect at once and as soon as the necessary circulars can be prepared, they will be mailed to persons holding the complimentary transportation of the company.' Circular "To All Concerned." The following circular has been placed in the hands of the company's printers and will be sent out by the general offices of the Harrlman lines today: PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 20. IhOT. To all concerned: The opinion has been expressed that under the Oregon Railroad Commission act the Issuance of passes or reduced-rate tickets is prohibited except to the following named persons: ' OfTicers, agents, surgeons, physicians, em ployes and attorneys at law, or members of their families, or to former railroad em ployes or members of their families, where such employes have been disabled in the railway service, or are unable from physical disqualification to continue in the service, or to members of families of deceased rail road employes, to ministers of religion, tra veling secretaries of railroad Young Men's Christian Associations, inmates of hospitals and charitable and eleemosynary institu tions, and persona exclusively engaged in charitable and eleemosynary work, to offi cers or agents of incorporate colleges, to Indigent, destitute and homeless persons, and to such persons when transported by char itable societies or hospitals, and the neces sary agents employed in such transportation; to inmates of the National homes or state homes for disabled volunteer soldiers, and of soldiers' and Bailors' homes, including those about to enter and those returning home after discharge, and boards of managers of such homes; to employes on sleeping cars, express cars, and to linemen of telegraph and telephone companies; to officers of the United States Reclamation Service; to United Statea livestock inspectors: to rail way mail service employes, postoffice in spectors, customs Inspectors and immigra tion inspectors; to newsboys on trains, bag gage agents, witnesses attending any legal Investigation in which the railroad is inter ested, persons injured In wrecks and phy sicians and nurses attending such persons. Some passes, both annual and trip, are now outstanding in the hands of persons not within any of the excepted classes above men tioned, and conductors will not honor for passage any such passes Issued prior to this date. In cases of doubt as to whether any person holding a pass comes within the ex cepted classes, collect fare and give a re ceipt and request the holder of such pass to present his claim to William McMurray, general passenger agent, Portland, Or. WANTS ANTI-PASS ORDINANCE Vaughn Introduces Measure in the Council to Cut Off Gratuities. No great amount of enthusiasm was shown by the Council yesterday for a measure introduced by Councilman Vaughn for the purpose of prohibiting the issuance of passes or other gratuit ous service to city officials and employes and the acceptance of the same. After a lengthy discussion in which the Coun cilmen attempted to make light of Mr. Vaughn's measure It was referred to the committee on Judiciary and elections. The measure provides that all public service corporations shall be prohibited from giving free service of any kind to municipal employes and is aimed par ticularly at the issuing of passes.. Fur thermore, all who hold city offices or are in the city's employ are forbidden to accept gratuities and before drawing salaries are required to sign the follow ing statement: "I have not solicited, re quested, accepted, received or used any free or reduced rate, pass, ticket, trans portation or service contrary -to the pro visions of the anti-pass ordinance." Vio lations are made punishable by a fine of from $200 to t500 or imprisonment from three to six months. Councilman Kellaher asked that the ordinance be placed on final passage, but Councilman Masters moved that it be sent to the committee on judiciary and elections. Mr. Vaughn asked that the measure be read so that the Council could see what was being acted upon. "I do not see any use for this measure," asserted Councilman Sharkey. "The Legislatdre has Just knocked out passes, so this ordinance would have no effect. I am not in favor of apelng the Legis lature." "I do not know exactly what the Legis lature has done." said Mr. Vaughn, "but we have agitated this subject for months and the bill in the Legislature is simply an echo of the sentiments that we have expressed. This is not an echo of the Legislature, but it might be termed an echo of the people. 90 per cent of whom voted against passes at the last election." Councilman Shepherd ridiculed the Idea that the Council has power to regulate the issuing of passes. Quoting the sec tion providing for the location of cess pools, he said that was the nearest any charter provision came to the subject. Councilman Bennett proposed an amend ment to the effect that collectors of subscriptions and sellers of tickets should be prohiited -from soliciting of city of ficials. The Mayor refused to entertain the motion and several other suggestions of a Jocular nature were made. "I resent this manner of dealing with this ordinance," said Mr. Vaughn. "It is an important measure and the only reason that the Council is acting in this way is the unwillingness of some of the members to show where they .stand on the matter of passes. I know Just where each of you stands. I could call off by name and say Just how you would vote on this ordinance." Without further discussion it was voted to send the ordinance to the committee. TUXXEIi THROUGH PENINSULA Harrlman Buys Land for Detail of Sound Extension. The plan of the Oregon & Washington Railway, the Harriman extension to Pu get Sound, to drive a tunnel through the high bluff at University Station, permit ting trains from the St. Johns extension to reach the Portland & Seattle bridge across the Columbia River, was put on a practical basis yesterday when 725 lots and about 45 acres were purchased on the peninsula for approximately J200.000. The land lies between Newark. Adri atic and Washbourne streets and Columbia avenue. Acreage was purchased as fol lows: Twenty-five acres from John Nole. 10 acres from Jacob Slaughterbeck, and 10 acres from O. M. Markland, the aver age price being $1000 an acre. In order to get a direct line across the peninsula, it was found that a tun nel l necessary. It will toe wide enough for a double track and will be 5400 feet in length, entering the Columbia River side of the peninsula at Dana and New ark streets, and will come out on the Willamette River side, south of Columbia University, on Mock's bottom. From that point a double track may easily be laid to the Steel Bridge, afford ing an outlet from the West Side ter minal yards to the projected line to the Sound. The purchase of the land required for the tunnel was closed up yesterdav by J. W. Morrow, land agent for the Har rlman lines, and It is expected that work will be commenced on the tunnel during the coming Summer. O. It. & X. MAIN LINE IS OPEN Track - Still Blockaded to Spokane, but May Be Opened Today. The matti line of the O. R. &. N. was opened yesterday, permitting, all through trains to pass, but the branches are still in trouble from washouts, and no Spokane trains got under way yesterday. It is expected the Spokane line will be cleared today. Passengers on the train leaving Port land Tuesday morning were returned to the Union Depot the same night, the line being impassable because of wash outs beyond The Dalles. This annoyed the passengers and, fearing they would not secure as desirable berths on the next train leaving, compelled the railroad of ficials to make the desired reservations before they would surrender them in the equipment brought back here. They were successful in accomplishing their pur pose. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Births. CROLNI At BOl. East Twelfth street. February 12. to the wife of George Crolni, a daughter.
