HANSON BILL IN TANGLE Afl House Passes It, Senate Cuts Out Emergency Clause Bill May Be Recalled on r Technicality. CL.YMPIA, Wash., Feb. 3. .'Special.) The Senate today duplicated the House vote on the Hanson anti-racetrack gam bling bill by passing It unanimously, but Immediately thereafter tied the bill Into a tangle as yet unravelled by rejecting the emergency clause.' This clause has passed the House, and that branch of the Legislature construes the same action as an amendment to the bill and unani mously refuses to concur. On the other hand, the majority opinion in the S?nate. sustained by President Ruth, Is that the rejection of the emergency clause Is not en amendment and that the House will have to accept the bill without the clause, whether it wants to or not. Without the emergency clause the law will take effect June 11. and with the clause it will be come effective Immediately. Prior to rejecting the emergency clause, which requires a two-thirds vote, a motion to amerd, made by Knlckerboker, of King, so that the bill would become effective May 1, Instead of Immediately, was adopted, and then 15 of the 24 Sena tors who voted with Knickerbocker turned around and killed the emergency 3 amended. The consideration of the bill In the Ssnate was free from the spec tacular, debate being shut off by Piper, Booth and Graves moving the previous question. The only discussion was over the Knickerbocker amendment, the au- . thor Insisting upon It as a concession to the opinion of lawyers In general that new criminal legislation should not be enacted with an emergency clause. Ootterill characterized the amendment as . designed to permit poolrooms to con tinue in operation during the progress of the races in California. Amendment Lacks Votes. Knickerbocker's amendment was carried by a vote of 24 to 17, but when the amended emergency clause was voted on it received but 23 votes lacking five of the required two-thirds. Hanson used the same argument as C'otterlll, when the bill was returned to the House from the Senate, and the House stood by Mm unanimously In re fusing to recede from the passage of the emergency clause. Wlien the House action was reported to the Senate, Cot terill immediately moved that a confer ence committee be appointed, but Graves cited the constitutional section provid ing that an emergency clause to pass must have a two-thirds vote in both houses. He contended that so much of the bill was lost, and that there was nothing to confer over. President Ruth sustained this contention, but agreed to consult with CotteriH as to the proper procedure to harmonize the action in both houses. It was announced, however, that further consideration would go over until tomorrow, with all rights preserved. Attack on Poolrooms. This postponement did not kill off the anti-racetrack gambling agitation in the Senate for the day, however, for In the afternoon Bryan of Kitsap introduced a concurrent resolution in the Senate re citing that poolrooms were in operation in Seattle, and urging the Governor to bring about the enforcement of the law declaring such places nuisances. The cork was immediately pulled from the bottled oratory. Bryan referred to the poolroom operators as a "bunch of out laws" who should be put out of busi ness immediately. "I am tired of this continual reference to Seattle and King County as the 'hell l:ole of the state.' " exclaimed Nichols. "It Is not true. Seattle Is no worse than Tacoma or Spokane, and if the gentle man from Kitsap County will look into his own backyard he will discover that Bremerton Is no Sunday school." Nichols characterized the resolution as a slap at the Proseucting Attorney of King County, who. he said, was now prosecuting the poolroom-owners. Hutchinson objected to Nichols clas sifying Spokane in the same Immoral category aa Seattle. The resolution was disposed of by re ferring it to the committee on public morals. It has been called to the attention of President Ruth, of the Senate, that the bill, after passage, was reported over to the House without suspension of the rule requiring the holding up of bills for 24 hours after their adoption to per mit of a motion to reconsider. The Sen ate tomorrow may seek to reconsider the bill and take new action on the emergency clause. mlttee If McArthur were made a com mittee colleague. Fancher controls seven of the 10 In the Spokane delegation, and although the turndown angered McAr thur, the Speaker recognized Fancher"s claims to consideration as superior. XO "REASOXABL.Tr' BILIi YET Washington Lawmakers Still at Sea on Liquor Question. OLTMPIA, Wash., Feb. 3. (Special.) After remaining until nearly midnight In secret session, said to have seethed with oratory, the House judiciary committee tonight decided to report the local option bill to the House tomorrow morning. The Anti-Saloon League bill will come before the House with a majority re port submitting it without recommenda tion. Five of the majority will report a new bill naming two units for the pur pose of voting in the establishment of anti-saloon territory.

The majority report will be signed by eight of the 15 members. Ole Hanson the anti-racetrack enthusiast, having been won over from the "wet" side In the committee. The other seven members of the committee have been unable to agree on what constitutes a "reasonable' bill, and two have not signed any report. The reporting of the bills will likely touch off the fireworks in the House and an animated morning session is expected, The subcommittee of the Senate Judi ciary committee has completed the draft of the bill to be substituted for the Antl Saloon League bill and the Nichols bill in the Senate. The new Senate bill will be submitted to the full committee to morrow evening, and will probably be re ported into the Senate Friday morning, to be made a special order for early next week. It Is understood to be very similar to the minority bill in the House com mittee. Members of both houses predict the end of local option agitation In the Legislature by the close of next week.

County members in the House today tried to force upon the city members, against the will of the latter, a bill that would re quire every hotel in the state to keep in each room a rope to enable guests to slide to the ground in the event of Are. Members seriously debated the neces sity for li-storled hotels keeping avail able such means for escaping from (Ires and objections to the possible burning of the ropes were met with the proposal of an amendment to have the ropes covered with asbestos. Still another amendment required that the ropes be of wire. The House spent most of a half-day ses sfon discussing such freak legislation, and finally turned down the asbestos and wire amendments and excluded fipt class cities from the provisions of the bill. The bill still awaits final passage. The House also received the nine-foot " sheet bill and accepted a report that It do pass, placing it on the calendar for tomorrow. Speaker Meigs has appeased the local colonists in the House by refusing to add to' the appropriations committee the names of four members whose presence on the committee, the advocates claim, would pack the committee and enable ap propriations to be held over them to club them into line against local option. The Speaker substituted for the names of Sims, Jeffreys, McArthur and Nels An derson, as proposed by his former cam paign manager. Representative Reny, the names of Sims, Cogswell. Speddin and Taylor. The appropriations committee is now looked upon as having a dry ma jority of one. Tiie change was not made without cre ating ill-feeling in the Spokane delega tion.

In any event, all the ability I may possess and the best, citizenship in me will be brought to the services of my state. 'When a measure is introduced in any legislative body, whether by Democrat or Republican, the first question asked is. is it something in the interest of the peo ple, and do the people want? If so, it makes no difference whether the measure comes from Democrat or Republican. have the same regard and respect for the Senate of the United States and be lieve it to be governed by the same prin ciple. More money has been appropriat ed for the country along the Mississippi River and for Galveston Harbor than for any other section of America. Why? Because the needs of that part of the country were appreciated by Congress, and I predict that when appropriation! are suggested for this part of the coun try for rivers and harbors and irrigation, blind indeed will ba the Senator who asks, Was this measure Introduced by a Dem ocrat or a Republican?' The question will be: 'Does Oregon need the appropria tion? If so. let us give It to her." What Is beneficial to. this country of ours Is beneficial to the whole country, and ev ery citizen will derive a measure of that benefit. "I promise you here and now. Democrat as I am, that I will do the best I can to promote the interests of this magnificent commonwealth, and I promise when I come back to give the best report I can for the Interests of this great country of ours.

Young Pole Follows Boyhood Sweet heart and AVhen Widow Marries Her Despite Obstacles. ABERDEEN. Wash.. Feb. 3. (Spe cial.) A romantic love affair begun in Poland, culminated tonight In the mar riage of Mrs. Mary Schultz and Alex ander Veidman.

Several years ago Mr. Schultz died and Veidman. who had kept track of his boyhood friend, followed her to Aberdeen, finding her a widow. He again proposed and was accepted.

Many Transfers of Farm Land as "Well as City Property Made to Easterners Coming to All Sec tions of Northwest to Settle. PENDLETON, Or.. Feb. 3. (Special.) Less than five per cent of the 1908 wheat crop for this county is in the hands of the growers at the present time, accord ing to estimates made by local grain buy ers. Only a comparatively few small lots remain unsold and It is expected that these will be transferred within a few days. .

The lowest price of record paid for wheat this year was 73 cents, while the highest was S5 cents. The number of growers receiving as high as SO cents was large. So far the crop prospects for the ensu ing year are unusually bright. No loss was suffered because of the recent cold weather and the damage sustained. In the dust storm of Tuesday is considered in significant. The growing grain has al ready been furnished with more moisture than was afforded last year's crop, while the farmers of the county have never before used so much care In preparing their seed' wheat In an effort to escape the ravages of smut.
