(Special) Walter Welch, Jointly indicted with Charlie LIskey and Alf Wallace, pleaded uilty to the charge of horse stealing In Circuit Court today. Sentence has not been pronounced and probably will not be until after the trial of the other two men, who had In picas of not guilty. It is thought the evidence of Welch and of others will surely conv.ct I.iskey and Wallace and probably develip the participation of others in extensive horsestealing operations in the county. The signs seem to Indicate the breaking up of the gang. STATEMENT MEN WIN OUT (Concluded from First Page.) the Legislature should be-privileged to make such pledges as he saw fit. If. In doing so, contended Brandon, the provisions of the Constitution should be violated, the candidate is amenable to the law. -This bill Is intended purely to throw discredit on Statement No. 1," he con tinued, "and is an Insult to the people of this state." Mahone, In opposing; the bill, con tended that the only difference between the Statement No. 1 pledge and the promises that formerly were made by Legislators In Senatorial campaigns, was that under the Statement pledge, the Legislator bound himself to the whole people, while under the other he agreed to support only some par ticular individual desired by the politi cal faction In control. In announcing his opposition to the bill, Farrell said It should be the privi lege of any man to take any pledge he wished to take. He referred to the record of this state In Its Senatorial elections prior to the enactment of the direct primary law, and said that as a result of that system In other states, the United States Senate today is com posed of a majority of Senators who do not represent the real choice of the people. Do Sot Tamper," Advises Dlmlck. DImick, of C?lackamas, made the most extended address in opposition to the bill, which he said could only have the effect of creating dissension In that it served to revive the question of State ment and anti-Statement when that controversy had practically been for gotten and the Legislature was pro ceeding with the consideration of leg islation on Its merits. He maintained that the question of the constitution ality of such pledges as Statement No. 1 was rot and that no power should be provided that would deny to an American citizen the right to Jake a voluntary pledge. He said that fully 75 per cent of the people of the state approved of the present method or electing Senators In this state and declared that it would be unwise for the Legislature to presume to tamper with the will of the people in that regard, especially in view of the fact that the voters had only recently rati fied the procedure by a majority of 40.000. Buchanan Defends Bill. Buchanan insisted that the bill under consideration did not Involve the ques tion of the direct election of Senators. He charged that the Constitution was held in too light regard by the people of the state and argued that the pend ing bill sought only to command great er respect for that document. He as serted that under the present ytem the election of Senator did not truly represent the choice of a majority of the people. The bill, he said applied only to such pledges as were in viola tion of the Constitution and for that reason could see no good reason why It should ,meet with any opposition from any member of the House. Quoting from the state and Federal Constitutions. McDonald sought to prove that candidates by subscribing to such pledges as Statement No. 1 did not violate the provisions of either consti tution and were only exercising the rights of citizenship conferred thereby. Brady Would Kemove Doubt." Brady said he believed In Statement No 1 and the modified statement and was satisfied that It was due to the signing of the former pledge, rather than to his individuality or personality, that he was elected. "But so long as there exists a doubt as to the consti tutionality of theso pledges '. said he "I propose to support this bill, that a law mat be enacted by which the real status of these pledges can be dcter- "jkekson; Democrat, regarded the bill at an absurdity that served only to take up the time of the Legislature. "The only question Involved in the con sideration of this measure," said he "is whether the people or a political machine shall have a say in the elec tion of United States Senators. Jones (Douglas) viewed the bill in the same ''concluding the debate, which was terminated on the call of half a dozen members for the "previous question. Bean. Joint author of the bill, reviewed the objections waged from the state ment side. He insisted that the Con stitution, as the fundamental law of government at all times was para mount to the people and should be re spected. He charged that the opposi tion to the bill apparently was based on fear of its consequences. If the Statement forces were so confident that their pre-election ywb not in violation of the Constitution the speaker Inquired why there should be su.-h serious objections to providing a means for determining their legal ef- feet.

LIMIT ON OUTSIDE FIRMS Mutual Companies Must Show 4 000 Members and $4,000,000 Insur ances Woman's Labor Bill Is Also Altered.. STATE CAPITOL,' Salem. Or., Feb. 3. (Special.) Another fire Insurance bill was added today to the insurance lobby's list of troubles by the introduc tion of Senator Kay's bill admitting foreign mutuals. The Insurance men are bothered by ah anti-trust bill of Senator Bingham's which aims to put out of business the rate trust of Insurance companies. Bingham says that since insurance companies .have been clamoring for protection, he will see that the people obtain It- ' Kay BUI Amendatory. The Kay bill la amendatory of the present statute, and provides that for eign mutual Insurance companies may be admitted to do business in this state when such companies shall present to the Insurance Commissioner a certifi cate from the Insurance Commissioner of the state lit which they were organ ized showing that the company making the application has cash assets of at least $100,000, 4000 members and 4, 000,000 of Insurance in force. Annual reports are requ.red to be filed by all such mutual companies showing the total amount of business transacted within the state during the year. This sworn statement shall show the gross premiums received during the year, from which shall be deducted return premiums, dividends to policy holders and losses paid. It is also provided In the bill that no mutual Insurance company hereaf ter organized or Incorporated in the state shall transact an Insurance busi ness outside of the state unless It has within the state at least 4000 members and carries at least 4,000,000 insur ance. Christmas Week, 10 Hours. Before the Senate passed Senator Bailey's bill regulating the hours of labor of women, it amended the bill upon motion of Senator Selling by eliminating the clause which permits women to work In stores 12 hours a day during the week before Christmas. Selling explained that he is a retail merchant and sees no reason why mer chants should be permitted to work their clerks more than 10 hours a day at any season of the year. Senator Bailey said he was in hearty accord with the motion, but was afraid the elimination of this clause would Jeop ardize the bill. He voted for the amendment and for the bill and it passed without a dissenting vote. The Bailey bill extends the present law so as to apply to telephone, telegraph and express companies. So Money for Referendum. An effort was made in the Senate to day to secure reconsideration of Sena tor Smith's bill prohibiting the use of money In securing Initiative and refer endum petitions, but the effort failed. President Bowerman, who voted with the negative yesterday In oriier to move for reconsideration, made the mo tion to reconrider this afternoon, but it received only 13 votes against 15. The bill was designed to shut out all initiative and referendum measures except those -which have such strong public sentiment in their favor that people will be willing to circulate pe titions without pay. TIdeland Bill Opposed. Bailey's S. B. 129, amending the law relating to the sale of tide lands will meet opposition from those who believe that tho tide lands of the state should be withheld from sale until their value can be determined. At the last session of the Legislature a bill was passed with drawing tide lands from sale for a period of ten years. Senator Bailey's bill amends the section by dropping the clause that provides for withdrawal from sale. The bill is strongly sup ported by residents of Astoria who have been Interested in the purchase of tide lands, but is opposed by Railroad Com missioner Oswald West, who was for merly State Land Agent, and upon whose recommendation largely the withdrawal was enacted. "Dry" Memorial Adopted. With a very strong opposing vote, the Senate this morning adopted Senator M. A. Miller's Joint memorial urging Con gress to enact laws prohibiting the ship ping of liquor into a "dry" state or county. There was no division or roll call on the resolution, so that the exact vote could not be determined. The vote was close. Judging by the noise made, and President Bowerman declared the resolution adopted.' Senate I'lxes Record. After having passed every salary blU that has come before It, the Senate this morning adopted a resolution, presented by Miller of Linn declaring it tno sense of the Senate that no bill be passed in creasing the salary of any. officer during the term for which he was elected. The resolution was opposed by some upon the ground that the adoption of such a resolution would be inconsistent. Senator Hart explained, amid an audible smile from the Senators, that this was merely the declaration of a general policy from which the Senate might depart In special cases. Upon this understanding the sen ate adopted the resolution and continued to depart from the general rule estab lished. Help for Judge McBride. Circuit Judge T. A. McBride will have the assistance of an additional Circuit Judge in his district If S. B. 191. Intro duced today by Senator Hedges, shall ae come a law. The bill provides for the appointment of are additional Judge at once by the Governor, with provision for election of a Judge at the next election. Keep Exhibits From Jury-Room. Lawyers who defend criminals and those who prosecute damage suits will be interested in a bill introduced today by Senator Hedges. njthorizing Circuit Judges to withhold exhibits from the Jury while in the Jury room. His bill. S. B. 196, would permit the Trial Judge to keep out of the Jury room such things as blood-stained axes, knives, clothing, etc. ti,a bill also provides that the Trial Judge may permit the Jury to take with. it notes made oy memseives or uy me court stenographer. , JUDGES TO GET XO MORE Coffey's Bill for Increase of Sal- , arics Killed in Senate. STATE CAPITOL Salem. Feb. 3. (Special.) By the overwhelming vote of 3 to 26. Senator Coffey's bill, in creasing the salaries of all Circuit Judges from $3000 to $4000 went down to defeat In the senate mis raorumps. Beach, Coffey and Cole were the only ones voting for the bill. When the bill came up for final con sideration. Miller, of Linn, waa the first to take a whack at it. He said that In his district there are two very competent Circuit Judges and that they are asking for no Increase In salaries. In the adjoining district on the south, he said. Judges Harris and Hamilton are serving with great sat isfaction to the people and are ask ing for no increase in salaries. He had never heard any suggestion out side of the Legislature that there was a need for an increase. Senator Coffey defended his bill by saying that the Legislature has in creased the duties of Circuit Judges by providing that they may be sent to Multnomah County to help out the court there and that since some of the Judges have been given increased sal aries, others should be given the same compensation. This brought Senator Kay to his feet, "When it was proposed to in crease Judicial salaries In Eastern Oregon." he said, "the reason given was that It costs more to live In that part of the state. Now the fact that salaries were raised over there Is made the argument for an Increase in the rest of the state. I'm opposed to that way of doing things."

PCBLIO SCHOOL' COST LOW Oregon's Per Capita Expense Less Than in Other States. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 3. (Special.!

TERM TOBE FOUR YEARS Amendment by Judiciary Commit tee Provides That Present In cumbent Shall Not Heap Benefits of Bill. STATE CAPITOU Salem, Or., Feb. 3. (Special.) After a stormy voyage, Representative Brady's bill increasing the salary of the Constable and his deputies in Portland and providing for an extension from two to four years in the term of that office finally passed the House this afternoon w ith six votes afrainst it. For a time it looked as though the bill might be defeated, as several of the members of the House from outside counties protested vigor ously against lengthening the term of office for Constable beyond that of Sheriff and other county officers. Passage was due only to the fact that it had the support of practically every member of the Multnomah County House delegation. In the Senate the bill will meet vigorous opposition. Possible Joker Expunged. Originally the bill was referred to the committee on cities and towns, which reported it back favorably. Later it was referred to the Multnomah delegation, which adjusted the salary question and provided that the four year term should begin only at the ex piration of the two-year term for which the present incumbent was elected. But when the bill appeared again in the House its construction was such as to leave serious doubt if the extension in term would not be enjoyed by the man now holding the office. Because of this.
