THE 3I0RXIXG OREGOXIAX, 3IOXDAY, MARCH 2, 190&.
MAY VOTE TO RAISE "
. LEGISLATORS' PAY
Question Will Be Submitted to
the People at June - '
Election.
510 A DAY IS NEW SCALE
If ProiHjsed Amendment to Consti
tution Is Adopted, Cost of Legis
lators Services Will Be In
creased $13X200 a Session.
SALEM, Or., March 1 (Sppoial.) Among
other questions upon which the people
of Oregon will vote at the coming June
election is that of increasing the com
pensation, of members of the Legislature
from tVJQ to $4u0 for the session. Assuming
that regular sessions will consist of 40
riayw. an In the past, the increase is from
3 per day to $10 per day. This amend
ment ww proposed by the last Legislature
and has not yet received much attention
from the general public.
" The measure submitted is an amend
ment to section 29 of article 4 of the con
stitution, though by a clerical error the
resolution adopted by the Legislature
describes the section as 2S. In preparing
the ballot title Attorney-General Craw
ford mentioned this manifest error, so that
H cannot be said afterward that there
was any misunderstanding as to the
section affected. Whether the error will
throw doubt upon tho validity of the
amendment If adopted is a purely legal
question, probably made less .serious by
reason of the fact that the , ballot will
show the number of the section intended
to be amended.
Section 20 as It now stands provides that
the members of the Legislature shall re
ceive, for their services "a cum not ex
ceeding $3 a day from the commencement
of the session; but such pay shall not ex
ceed in the aggregate $120 for per diem
allowance for any one session. When
convened in extra session by the Gov
ernor, they shall receive $3 per day; hut
no extra session shall continue for a
longer period than 20 days. They shall
nLso receive $3 for every 20 miles they
shall travel in going to and returning
from their place of meeting on the most
usual route. The presiding officers of the
Ksembly shall, by virtue of their office,
receive an additional compensation equal
to two-thirds of their per diem allowance
as members. "
The presiding officers receive, therefore,
$r per day. or $200 for the session. The
mileage amounts to 15 cent.s per mil6
traveled. A mernber from Portland re
ceives $15. M as mileage. A member from
Jackpon County receives about $S3 mile
age, a member from Baker County $122
and one from Curry $146 as mileage. The
mileage allowance more than pays travel
ing expenses for one trip but members
from Western Oregon counties and from
Kastern Oregon counties along the rail
road usually make two or three trips
home during the session, so that their
mileage is more than used up. In the past
members have as a rulo traveled upon
paswes, so that unless they had to travel
on stages or steamboats their mileage
allowance was practically additional com
pensation. Text of Amendment.
The proposed amendment provides:
Section ID. The members of the Legislative
Assembly shall rereive for their services the
rum of four hundred dollars as per diem
for such session. When convened In extra
wanton by the Governor, they whull receive
ten ($10) dollars per day. but no extra ses
sion ffhall continue for a. longer period than
2o days. They shall also receive their actual
traveling expenses in going and returning
from their pla-e of meeting, on the moat usual
route. The presiding ofticers of the Assembly
rhall. In virtue of their office, receive an ad
ditional compensation equal to two-fifths of
th-Mr ier diem allowance an members.
This amendment proposes several
changes in the section. First The in
crease in the amount of compensation
generally. Then It is provided that pre
siding officers shall receive an additional
compensation of two-fifths of the regular
compensation. Prestdiag officers would
receive $14 a day. or. rather, $.Vi0 for the
session. Under the present constitutional
provision the compensation is by the day,
with a $120 limitation. The proposed
amendment allows $400 for the session,
whether it be 40 days or less, or more.
Experience has shown, however, that a
Legislature can scarcely get through its
work, in less than 40 days, which includes
Sundays and other days upon which no
meetings are held. It is possible, of
course, that if the new amendment should
be adopted and the members receive a
fixed amount, regardless of the length
of the session, they might introduce a
smaller number of bills and get through
in h ss time than 4 days.
Another change is that instead of re
ceiving IS cents a mile for traveling ex
penses, the members would receive, under
t he proposed amendment. the actual
amount expended by them in going to and
from the capital. While the term, "ac
tual traveling expenses." Is an indefinite
one, usage in this state has made it mean
all necessary expenses while traveling,
it would include not only railroad and
stage fane, but meals an trains, hotel
bills and sleeping-car fares, while travel
ing. The proposed plan would probably
cost the state a little less than the pres
ent system of paying 15 cents a mile, but
the difference would not be enough to
make it an Item worth considering In
determining upon the merits of the meas
ure. In this connection the proposed
amendment i;as some benring upon the
compulsory pass bill, for if that bill
should be adopted and the railroads
should bring themselves under its pro
visions and should recognize its validity,
' the members of the legislature would
ride upon passes and the state would not
have to reimburse them for railroad fares.
Present Pay S3 a lay.
The chief argument advanced in favor
of the amendment is that members of
the legislature do not now receive
enough, as a member cannot live at Sa
lem tor less than $3 a day during the
legislature and many of them mint pay
more than that in order to get desirable
rooms and board- It is, therefore, urged
that a poor man cannot afford to run for
the legislature, for he would not only
be out his campaign expenses, hut would
receive fco tittle pay that he could not
afford to accept. The argument is made
that the compensation should be large
enough to reimburse the average business
man for the time he takes away from
his business In attending the Legislature.
On tho ether hand, it to argued that
the office Is one that should be sought for
the honor there I in it and not for the
pay; that to serve in the Legislature when
called upon to do so Is a duty which
every citizen owes to his state and that
he should be satisfied with mere reim
bursement for his necessary expenses,
which, it is said, the $3 a day will cover.
The argument as to the poor man not
being permitted to run for the Legisla
ture is answered by the assertion that if
a man has not made a sufficient success
of hi private business to enable him to
pay legitimate campaign expenses he is
not a proper man to serve In the Legis
lature. If he is a desirable man for the
Legislature, it is urged, his qualifications
will have become known to his neighbors
and it will not be necessary for him to
incur heavy campaign expenses.
It Is also asserted that successful busi
ness men men of means will not be at
tracted to the Legislature by a compensa
tion of $400 any more than they would be
by a compensation of $120. It has been
argued, too. that the poor man who goes
to the Legislature and receives only $120
for his time and expense., is tempted to
take money from corporations and spe
cial interests in order to make the service
profitable financially and that If he were
reciving $400 from the state he would not
feel this temptation. On the- other hand
it is declared that a man who would sell
himself at all would do so whether the
state paid him $120 or $400.
Against the measure, it is asserted that
increasing the compensation to $10 a day
will attract many men who will want to
go to the Legislature for the money
alone, while if the compensation be left
at $3 a day only those will seek election
who have a desire to serve the state.
Under the present section, the expendi
ture for per diem of members of the
Legislature is $10. WO per session. Under
the proposed amendment it would be $C6,
000 per session.
PLAN SURPRISE FOR EVANS
TITLE OF VICE-ADMIRAL TO BE
AWARDED.
It Congress Acts Promptly, Com
mission Will Be Offered as
Hero Enters Golden Gate.
WASHINGTON, March 1. In a quiet
way naval officers in Washington are en
deavoring to arrange an agreeable sur
prise for Admiral Evans when the battle
ship fleet under his command sails
through the Golden Gate, completing 'the
Pacific cruise. It is proposed to greet the
Rear-Admiral with a commission as
Vice-Admiral of the American Navy. Of
course, the success of this undertaking
depends upon Congress, but the Presi
dent has done his part In making a
proper recommendation to- that body for
the re-establishment of that naval grade,
and It Is not doubted that Congress can
be Induced to act upon the recommenda
tion in season to insure the issue of
Admiral Evans' commission, so that he
may bear the title of Vice-Admlral for
the few months that Intervene between
his arrival at San Francisco and his re
tirement from active service.
The naval argument in support of tne
proposed re-establishmcnt of the grade,
of Vice-Admiral Is strongly reinforced
by a comparison made at the Navy De
partment between . the British home
fleet engaged in the maneuvers of last
Fall and the splendid battleship fleet
commanded by Rear-Admlral Evans.
The British fleet, composed of 26 battle
ships, 15 armored cruisers, nine protect
ed cruisers and 57 torpedo craft, was
commanded by one Admiral, three Vice
Admirals, seven Rear-Admirals and one
Commodore.
The American fleet when it is fully as
sembled in San Francisco harbor will
consists of 19 battleships, 8 armored
cruisers, 3 protected cruisers and a large"
number of supply ships, colliers and re
pair ships, nine destroyers and five torpedo-boats,
commanded by only four
Rear-Admirals.

GIVE UP TO JAPS
China Will Surrender the
Steamer Tatsu Maru.
APOLOGY IS DEMANDED
Mikado's Government Also Seeks
Indemnity Cruiser Idzumt Sent
to Chinese Waters to Investi
gate Seizure or Steamer.
PBKIX, March lf It is announced that
the Chinese government will surrender
the Japanese steamer Tatsu Maru. which
was seized on February 7 by the Chinese
customs cruisers outside of Macao while
unloading a large consignment of rifles
and ammunition, the rifles numbering
several thousand. It was originally
charged that an attempt was being made
to bring war supplies into China for
revolutionists.
The statement is made by officials in
the Chinese government that a conspiracy
is on foot to import seven or eight
thousand rifles and ammunition therefor
and the government believes the muni
tions on . the Tatsu Maru were intended
for rebels on the Tonklng border, but it
has not been able to prove the act of
smuggling.
A despatch from Tokio yesterday
stated that the Japanese government was
maintaining a determined attitude with
regard to the seizure by the Chinese of
the Tatsu- Maru. and that it will de
mand both an apology and an indemnity
from China. It was stated also In this
despatch that the Chinese foreign office
wished to submit the entire question to
a mixed court. To this, however, the
Japanese government would not consent
until the vessel was first released.
The Tokio statement declared that the
Tatsu Maru was regularly cleared from
Kobe with a consignment of arms and
ammunition for Macao, and that the
Portuguese minister at Pekin supported
the contention of the Japanese minister
of foreign affairs, that the vessel was
seized in Portuguese waters.
The armored cruiser Idzumi sailed on
Friday from Shanghai for Hongkong, her
object being understood to be the investi
gation of the seizure of the Tatsu- Maru.
JAPAX IS VERY MUCH EXCITED
Seizure of Steamer Regarded as
Sufficient Cause for War.
VICTORIA, B. C. March 1. China has
seriously involved herself with both. Ja
pan and Portugal by the seizure of the
Japanese steamer Tatsu Maru No. 2, 10
miles off Macao, accordfng to advices re
ceived by the steamer Empress of Japan,
which arrived tonight from Yokohama,
and unless immediate and - substantial
reparation is made Japan is disposed to
consider the matter a causus belli. Ar
rivals by the Empress of Japan say
considerable excitement prevails in Japan
regarding the seizure, especially follow
ing upon a number of questions which
have recently arisen between Japan and
China.
"When the Tatsu Maru left Japan tele
grams In cipher were sent the Chinese
government, in .consequence of which the
Chinese gunboat Pubik. with a number
of foreign drilled troops on board, put to
sea under sealed orders, and the Chinese
revenue cutter Lung Tslng and three
gunboats joiried her. The Tatsu Maru
was found hove to 10 miles off Macao,
in Chinese waters, awaiting a pilot to
get to the Portuguese port. The schooner
was seized and 1500 rifles and 40.00
rounds of ammunition which were mani
fested, and "50 rifles not manifested,
which were secreted, were taken. The
Chinese commandant. Captain Wu.
hauled down the Japanese flag and re
placed it with the dragon flag, and
placed armed forces on board. A Portu
guese junk with some Portuguese troops
on board went out to assist the Japanese
steamer, but was prevented from com
municating with her by the Chinese, ow
ing to which strong protests are being
made by the Portuguese officials.
All communication was prevented. The
war munitions, which Chinese say were
Intended for Chinese rebels, were con
signed by rt'aya & Co.. the Kobe firm in
terested In the big Japanese mine on
Queen Charlotte Island B. C, to Kwong
Bo & Co., a Chinese firm of Macao, and
shippers, agents and consignees have en
gaged a Portuguese lawyer to make rep
resentations against the seizure.
Meanwhile the seized Tatsu Maru was
taken to Canton under seizure. The ship's
agents contend that she was legally
within her rights in taking arms to Ma
cao, but the Chinese claim they found
her endeavoring to land the arms sur
reptitiously. Awaya, head of the firm

TILMON FORD DEAD
Prominent Oregon Lawyer
Succumbs to Paralysis -
AT HIS HOME IN SALEM
Death Ends Career of Man Known
as Leader of the Bar, Bril
liant Orator and Active
Politician.
SALEM. Or., March 1. (Special.)
Tilmon Ford, for many years recog
nized as the leading member of the
bar in the Willamette Valley, died this
afternoon at the home of his cousin.
W. M. Kaiser, of this city. He had
been ill about three weeks, suffering
from an attar k of paralysis. The fu
neral will be conducted at 2 P. M. Tues
day from the Congregational Church,
Rev. P. S. Knight officiating. The re
mains will be buried In Oddfellows'
Cemetery. The services at the grave
will be conducted by the order of Odd
fellows, of "which the deceased was a
member. -
Mr. Ford was born in Missouri in
1843,. while his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Ford, were crossing the plains to
Oregon. The family arrived in Oregon
in the Fall of that year and settled on
a farm north of this city, where Tilmon
spent his boyhood days. He was edu
cated in the common schools and at
Willamette. University, from which in
stitution he was graduated in 1870.
He studied law and was admitted to
the bar in 1ST4.
Career, at the Bar.
Taking up the practice of his chosen
profession in this city, Mr. Ford soon
won' recognition as a reliable legal ad
viser, a tactful trial lawyer and an ora
tor of unusual ability. Like most of
the old school of attorneys, he spent
little time searching for precedents, but
was well grounded in the principles of
law and equity. Though he was very
frequently employed to defend impor
tant criminal cases, he never based his
defense upon unimportant technicali
ties. His skill in clearly presenting
facts to a jury made him a strong ad
vocate in the trial of cases upon the
merits. The suits which brought him
most to public attention were the dam
age cases against the Southern Pacific
arising from the wreck of a passenger
train at Lake Labish tn the early '90s.
He was attorney for nearly all the
claimants, and won every case.
His ability as a public speaker made
Mr. Ford a strong factor in politics and
he served two terms in the Legislature
from this county, one in the early '80s
and the other in 1 893. He was chosen
one of the Presidential Electors from
Oregon in 1900. As a stump speaker
he presented convincing arguments in
an entertaining manner, and was one
of the most popular Republican cam
paign speakers in the state.
Gave to Willamette.
Mr. Ford's law practice brought him
a large Income, which he invested in
farms, and in recent years he devoted
much of his time to the management
of his ranches. In all business rela
tions, whether in his personal affairs or
his work as an attorney, he enjoyed a

BRUTAL CRIME IN LOWELL
Former Friend Held for Murder of
Plumber's Helper.
LOWELL, Mass., March 1. Joseph
Gailloux. 37 years old, a plumber's helper,
was found dead in .the shop of his em
ployer today with his head and face cov
ered with cuts and bruises, his mouth
burned, as though an attempt had been
made to pour liquid poison into it, and
the room filled with gases escaping from
an open jet.
1 A former room-mate, Xapoleon Rivet,
26 years old, has been arrested on sus
picion. Rivet denies all knowledge of
the probable murder and no motive for
the crime has thus far been discovered.
It was learned that up to last Fria.y
night Gailloux and Rivet roomed to
gether, but nothing had been seen of
Rivet there since that time. It was fur
ther learned that two years ago Gailloux
turned over a $1000 life insurance policy

further investigation.
POLICE GUARD CHURCHES
Extra Preca u tions lu Ch ica go Be
cause of Recent Threats.
CHICAGO, March 1. Details of police
were stationed during early mass in all
of the Roman Catholic churches here to
day because of threats against the lives
of priests In letters received since the
Denver tragedy. The guards, who wore
citizens clothing, closely scrutinized every
person wtio entered the churches where
trouble was feared, and after the serv
ices began, occupied posts close to the
altar. Special precautions were taken in
Italian churches in all parts of the city
and in several Bohemian churches, be
cause of the anti-clerical feeling known
to exist among persons of those nation
alities in Chicago. Less attention was
paid to the large cathedrals because of
the number of policemen always in at
tendance at services in them. Xo dis
turbance was reported at any of the
churches. ,
