S
ND1VIDUAL WORK
OF LEGISLATORS
Names That Stand Out Promi
nently in Annals of Wash
ington Assembly.
MEW MEN IN FRONT RANK
Both In House an Senate Many of
Most Important Measures Enacted
Due Largely to Efforts of Those
Attending Initial Session.
?,,raA Mareh "(Special.)
Tenth legislative Assembly just closed.
It is noticeable that the Senators and
Representatives from the southwestern
counties of the state have been among the
leaders in each house. They have ac
complished in a general way practically
everything they expected to aT-compltsh
metoftwhh looked almost hopeless at
2u. fV .Jh? ls a11 the more remark
able from the fact that many of the mem
bers from that section of the state had
Jmd no previous legislative experience.
In the House,. Representatives J. M
btevenson, of Stevenson; E. A Black
more of Ridgefield; George McCoy, of
Napavlne. and the Nestor of them all-J.
O. Wegler, of Brookfield. had been in
prior sessions. While from the start
these men took a prominent part In ail
legislative proceedings, their actions and
accomplishments did not attract as much
attention as that of the new men.
Megler seemed disappointed because he
was not again elected Speaker, and fur
ther disappointed because Oregon failed
to carry out its part of Columbia River
fish legislation. So his work was large
ly confined to his duties on the committee
of rules, which made up the days' calen
dar, and to lending the benefit of his ex
perience to unravel methods of procedure
when they grew tangled.
McCoy failed to land the chairmanship
of the appropriation committee, but was
active throughout the session and was
able to get through a number of impor
tant bills, among them one which re
quires greater publicity when state lands
are to be sold a measure that, it is
said, will mean thousands of dollars in
increased revenues from state land sales.
Secure County Division.
Blackmore managed to get increased ap
propriations for the Vancouver school,
and was otherwise active. J. C. Hogan,
of Aberdeen; A. w. Wade, of Montesano.
and H. B. Hewitt, of Hoquiam, all from
"hehalls County, won one of the bitter
fights of the session by securing the divi
sion of that county and a provision for
the creation of the new county of Gray's
Harbor. Hewitt was the last House
member to be sworn in. He was East
when the session opened, and his return
was delayed by the snow blockade. He
was the first member to quit, as he went
home about 10 days before the end of
the session and did not return.
Wade did something which few thought
he could accomplish, when he put through
both houses a bill extending the powers
of second-class cities. Aberdeen is the
only city of this crass in the state, and
but for this law would have less powers
than any of the county villages, necessity
never having arisen before for proper leg
islation. The bill was one of the longest
introduced and required three hours In
reading. This made it difficult to secure
Its consideration, but Wade won.
Glenn N. Ranck. of Vancouver, was busy
all the while, although he was not .very
successful with his measures. He' did
rat an initiative nH . . . , .

lands and signed a minority report which
in. iimuii uuuyiwi. ine majority report
was signed by seven of the leading Re
publicans of the Senate and House, but
the bill the report favored was never
reached.
Godman Minority Leader.
Judge M. M. Godman, Democrat, of
j -ay ton, -was tne minority leader of the
House. He was in his seat every day
from the beginning of the session, and
not a single bill went through without his
scrutiny. He actually wore himself out
with nis labors to see that none but nron.
er legislation was enacted and. generally
speaking, never allowed partisanship to
sway his conduct. He was successful in
putting through both houses his bill pro
viding an indeterminate sentence, not
only applying to all criminals except mur
derers now in the State Penitentiary, but
ajsn to aJl sentenced to that institution
In the future.
Judge Godman put through the House
ipeveral bills intended to remedy defects
?Jn present court practice, but they failed
- to reach consideration in the Senate. He
made a hard fight, but an unsuccessful
one, for his bill providing for District
Prosecuting Attorneys where more than
two counties comprise one judicial dis
trict. Godman made the big fight on the
flour of the House to save recall of the
open-river bill, and with the united back
Inj; of the southwest members, aided by
Kastern V ashington men. saved that bill
and made possible its passage through the
tenate.
In the Senate the southwestern delega
tion included WInthrop B. Presby. of Gol
dendnle; K. M. Rands, of Vancouver: A.
I Watson, of Kalama; John R. Steven
son, of Pomeroy, J. A. Veness. of Win
lock, and Alexander Poison, of Hoquiam
Republicans, and Henry S. McGowan, of
AlcGowan, Democrat. Of these. Rands,
Watson and Veness had previously been
in the Senate.
Rands was serving his last two years.
and occupied throughout the session a
peculiar and unpleasant position. Elected
In the first place on an anti-railroad com
mission plaftorm. his first session saw
the passage of the commission bill. This
time he remained one of the old guard to
the end. fighting the Insurgent combine
of the Senate at every opportunity, and
casting a lone vote against the direct pri
mary. He was consistent throughout,
vvatson had little special legislation he
desired enacted, but got ail of that
through successfully. Illness prevented
bis presence during some of the busiest
of the. clothing days.
Had Eye on Expenditures.
Veness spent most of his time working
with the appropriations committee, of
which he was chairman. He made it a
personal duty to investigate In detail
every item of expenditure for the last two
years, and every estimate for the coming
period, and, in addition to all this, took
part in the work of every Important bill
of . the session.
Poison hegan the session with a resolu
tion to limit it to 40 days and introduced
a number of early bills to prevent bribery
and corruption of public officers. . These
ail went by the board, and then Poison
settled down to a hard study of legisla
tion and the work of a legislator. In con
sequence, it is confidently expected that
with experience gained this year, ba.-ked
by his excellent reputation as a business
man and his recognized sound judgment,
he will be one of the leaders two years
hence. Hs was the leader in the Senate
for the Gray's Harbor division, and his
personal popularity was a considerable
element In the passing of the bill through
that body.
Stevenson added greatly throughout the
closing days of the session to all debates
by his clever remarks, caustic at times,
but always witty. He was one of the
men who investigated the Railroad Com
mission, which resulted in the resignation
of John s. McMillin as Commissioner and
the refunding to the state by McMillin of
tX of his salary. Stevenson worked
hard from the beginning for, and spoke in
favor of, in season and out of season,
the open-river appropriation bill. He was
one of the most earnest supporters of the
direct primary bill and one of his pet
measures, which he was successful ifc
having enacted, was the provision for the
doubling of the output of grain bags at
the State Penitentiary, and the wider dis
tribution of these bags throughout the
wheat growing counties.
No Republican in the Senate made a
better record than a new man. Senator
Presby; of Goldendale. This was his first
legislative experience and he admits
frankly that he came with the popular
idea that legislative duties were not ar
duous and were to a great extent social.
He certainly went away with the absolute
knowledge that they demand the closest
application, and it is recognized that he
save them his very Ibest thought
and earnest labor. Right at the toe
ginning he was appointed to seven of th
most important committees. As chair
man of the committee on privuoes ana
elections, he had general charge of the
Lyons-CotteriU contest.

Resent Attempt to Move Nest From
AValla Walla.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., March 17.
(Special.) Grand Executive Leavlll, of
the Brotherhood of Owls, having intimated
his purpose to remove the Grand Nest
to Seattle, has aroused the resentment of
the local members of the order, and liti
gation is threatened If he attempts to
leave Walla Walla with the property of
the brotherhood. It is expected that Judge
Brents will be applied to for a restrain
ing order tomorrow morning, enjoining
Mr. Leavitt from taking the action con
templated. When the brotherhood was Instituted
in Walla Walla it was emphatically
agreed that the Grand 'Nest would have
its permanent home in this city, and the
people declare that they will not allow
it to go anywhere else. Mr. Leavitt de
clares that the by-laws, constitution and
articles of Incorporation give him the
right to make headquarters anywhere
within the state, but this contention will
be fought If necessary in the courts.

STORY OF SHOOTING
Ex-Soldier Tells of Browns
ville Affair.
WHITE MAN STARTED HOW
Private Gray, W"ho Gives Informa
tion, Will Be- Called to Washing
ton to Relate Facts to Senate
Investigation Committee
GAXiVESTON', Texas. Mareh rr.The
mystery surroalirdln-g the altered raid of
the negro soldiers from the Twenty-Fifth
Infantry upon the people of Brownsville,
Texas, on August 13 last, has been cleared
up, according to a story printed today by
the Galveston News.
After seven months of investigation by
the Federal authorities, what appears to
be the true version of the crime has been
secured from E. C. Gray, one of the die-charg-ed
soldiers, who admits that he par
tially participated. The man has been liv
ing in Galveston a large portion of the
time since has was discharged soon after
the outrage.'
According; to his statement, the attack
was not premeditated, but was the re
sult of an alleged injury done one of the
soldiers by a white man in Brownsville
half an hour before the raid. The negro,
returning to the barracks, seized his rifle
and announced that he was going to kill
the white man.
Several other negro soldiers volunteered
to go along and see the work well done
and to wipe out other scores which they
had against the citizens on account of the
injuries which they claimed to have suf
fered. '
The negroes returned to the barraclcs
after committing the assault on the town,
and many soldiers assisted in the hurried
cleaning of the guns for the Inspection
which followed soon after the shooting
in the town ceased. Apparently the sol
diers from only one company participated
in the raid, although practically the en
tire batallion knew the soldiers who had
done the shooting.
WU.L CALL NEGRO TO TESTTJFT
Soldier Who Confessed Is Wanted by
Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 17. Senator
Overman, of North Carolina, who is a
member of the Senate committee on
military affairs, -which is investigating
the "shooting up" of Brownsville,
Texas, tonight, when shown the dis
patch from Galveston telling of the
alleged confession of a discharged ne
gro soldier, said the committee re
ceived information two weeks ago that
a former member of the Twenty-fifth
Infantrv had expressed a willingness
to make a full confession if he could
receive assurances from the Govern
ment that he would be protected.
Senator Overman says this informa
tion was forwarded to Secretary Taft,
with the suggestion that It be investi
gated by the War Department
"All the discharged troops who tell
the truth about the affair," said the
Senator, "will certainly be protected by
the Government."
Neither the Senate committee on mil
itary affairs nor the War Department
has received any official report regard
ing the alleged confession of the dis
charged negro soldier.
Senator Overman said that tomorrow
he will insist that the Senate commit
tee summon the former soldier who is
alleged to have made a confession to
Washington to testify before the com
mittee. ORDERS ARREST EX-SOLDIER

Sunday in the Tombs.
NEW YORK, March 17. Harry K. Thaw
spent a quiet Bunday In the Tombs. This
afternoon Lawyer O'Beilly visited Thaw
and helped him prepare in duplicate a
statement sent from Lewellyn Gilliland,
of Vanwert, O., in which the latter de
nounces as an injustice the stories which
he says were sent out last Summer from
Wooster, O., where Thaw and he were
school-mates at the "Wooster University.
As Mr. O'Reilly was leaving, he gave
copies of the statement sent out by Mr.
Gilliland, who signed a note to the ef
fect that the interview was authentic
Mr. Gilliland says:
"The college escapade of a man whose
life is regarded as a success are looked
upon by the world as good Jokes. Let
that same man afterward fall from grace,
and those same pranks are regarded as
crimes, and thus it is that the escapades
of Harry Thaw, who is now on trial for
the slaying of Stanford White last Sum
mer, are being depicted as criminal, and
that Thaw's career as such was begun
while a lad in knee trousers in his early
college days at Wooster."
Mr. Oilliland, then, at considerable
length reviews Thaw's school life, point
ing out that Thaw has been credited with
many pranks in which he never partici
pated, and that as a matter of fact his
life at Wooster was in every way praise
worthy. Mr. MoPike, partner of D. M Delmas,
tonight said that the defense tomorrow
would call as many experts as the prose
