KAY AT OUTS
Friction Among Marion Coun
ty's Members of the
Upper House.
INVOLVES THE PRESIDENCY
Smith Had Promised His Support
; Tor This Position, but Recedes
Because Kay Will Vote
for Chamberlain.
SALEM, Or.. June 9. (Special.) Ap
parently there is a big split In the
Marion County delegation In the State
, Senate, and It seems certain that as a
result of differences over the election of
United States Senator, T. B. Kay will
lose the -support of Dr. J. N. Smith In
his candidacy for President of the Senate,.
It has been understood ever since the
lust session of the Lefiislature that
Senator Kay would be a candidate for
President at the session of 1SKJSI, and
.that he would have the support of his
colleague Senator Smith. It has been
supposed that Kay and Smith had an
understanding to that effect.
But the last few days have wrought
radical changes. Kay has indicated his
Intention to vote for Chamberlain for
Senator and it is declared in political
circles that if such Is Kay's intention
Smith won't support him for President.
Expects to Vole for Chamberlain.
When asked about his position on the
Senatorial question a few days- ago,.
Kay said that in his campaign two years
ago he declared that he expected to
support the people's choice for Senator.
This was not an absolute pledge and
left him free to vote for some one else
if In his opinion the conditions Justified.
Kay still maintains the same attitude,
and while not absolutely pledging himself
says that he expects to vote for Cham
berlain. Both Kay and Smith declined today to
d'scuss the subject of the Presidency of
' the bt nate, but it is apparent that they
are at outs. Mutual friends of the two
Senators Know that the difference has
arisen between them and believe that
Kay's candidacy has been greatly weak
ened by the loss of the support of his
colleague.
Complicates Fight for President.
The other candidates tor President are
Johnson of Benton and Bingham of
I.ane (Statement No. 1) and Beach of
Multnomah and Bowerman of Wheeler
(anti-Statement men). The fight for con
trol of the Senate will now become aft
important contest, for the President of
the Senate presides over the joint ses
sions of the two houses when a joint
vote on Senator Is taken.
RUST HURTS WHEAT CROP
"Weston Farmers Fear Yield This
Year Will Be Cut Down.
WESTON, Or., June 8. (Special.)
Farmers In the Weston neighborhood
are puzzled and somewhat uneasy over
the appearance of what is feared to
be rust, heretofore unknown here. Red
dish spots have discolored the blades of
the growing wheat, and seem to be
rapidly spreading. Dale Glory wheat,
a new variety here, largely planted last
Kail, is affected the most. Red Chaff
being troubled very little or not at
all. In some instances, a field of Dale
Glory will be tinted red by the rust,
wlille there is no indication of its pres
ence in a field of Red Chaff adjoining.
A young Weston farmer, who was in
Kings County, California, four years
ago, says he saw a very promising crop
cut down fully 75 per cent by rust
throughout a. large district, and that
the mysterious pest here has every ap
pearance of being identical. He fears
.' that It will soon spread to the stalk
and cut off the sap, as it quickly did in
California, Another farmer was fa
miliar with rust in North Carolina, and
says there Is no doubt that this is the
.same thing.
The rust seems to range along the
foothills, and hae not appeared in the
Helix and Cold Spring districts. The
'Weston country Is weedier than ever
known before, grain is backward be
cause of the prolonged cold weather
-Just now becoming warmer, and it is
likely that 35 bushels an acre will be
considered a large crop this year, in
stead of the 50 and 60-bushel yields
common in bumper seasons.
ROAD READY FOR THE RAILS

Steel on Centralia Eastern.
CENTRALIA, Wash., June 9. (Spe

Mayor Vetoes Gas Franchise.
ASTORIA. Or., June 9. (Special. )
Mayor Wise has vetoed the ordinance
passed at the recent session of the
Council granting the Clatsop Fuel Com
pany a 30-year franchise for a gas plant.
He said ha favored the granting of. tbe
SENATORS
franchise, but thought the price of $1.50
per thousand feet was too high, that tho
franchise should not be granted until
after the company organizes and elects
officers and as the franchise is for the
purpose of encouraging the boring for
gas in Clatsop County, the ordinance
should be effective only so long as the
company supplies, gas produced in Clat
sop County.

knocking him to the floor, from where
he (Doherty) fired two shots and three
Pmore after he got up. Doherty 'said he
ran from the saloon because he feared
Allen and others who were in the bar
room. Doherty appeared very nervous while
on the stand. He talked freely and at
a high pitch, seemingly anxious to tell
his story. Attorney Fee, his lawyer, was
forced to restrain him several times in
order to make objections.
The defense has placed no eye-witnesses
of the shooting on the stand, rely
ing entirely on the testimony that the
range of the bullet wounds In Allen's
body would indicate that the shooting
was done from the floor, after Doherty
had been knocked down, as the defend
ant alleges, by Allen.
Doherty made the ' statement on the
stand today that he feared Allen would
beat him to death and that he carried a
gun to protect himself and his money
after closing up his saloon at night.
It is not expected that rebuttal testi
mony 'will be introduced before tomorrow
afternoon.

CIRCUIT COURT AFFIRMS RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION'S ORDER.
Railway Company Will Take Appeal
to Supreme Court Judge Gallo
way Explains His Decision.
3ALEM. Or., June 9. (Special.) Cir
cuit Judge Galloway today affirmed the
ruling of tho Railroad Commission in
the Milwauklo carfare case and dis
missed the injunction suit brought by
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company. The case will be appealed to
the Supreme Court.
The commission ordered present fares
on the Milwaukie line reduced from 10
cents to 5 cents and from 15 cents to 10
cents. Judge Galloway held that as com
pared with the rates charged on the
Lents line for the same distance the
rates are discriminatory. Incidentally,
he he'ld that the contract by which the
company is bound to charge not more
than 5 cents on the Lents line is invalid,
as against public policy, and the fact
that the company can charge only that
amount on that line does not affect the
right of the Commission to regulate
rates on the Milwaukie line. He also re
marked, in giving his decision, that dif
ference in original cost could not Justify
a difference of rates on the two lines, for
it appeared that much of the money
spent on the Milwaukie line was ex
pended injudiciously.
The formal decree will be signed in
Portland at 10 A. M. Friday, in the of
fice of Commissioner Aitchison, and then
Attorney Griffith will take an appeal on
behalf of his company. .
