Are Voted Down.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 4.-(Special.)
With a solid total of 51 members to do
their bidding, the local option leaders In
the House today forced consideration of
the McMasters or Anti-Saloon League
bill, prevented substitute by a more lib-

h m nnnn f
SEW 950,000 SCHOOL BUILDING REARING COMPLETION
eral measure and, taking It up section
by section, defeated a dozen or more
amendments Introduced to modify the
more stringent measure.
Convening at 10 o'clock this morning,
the House remained in session until 10
o'clock tonight, with the exception of
two recesses for meals, and did nothing
hut wrangle over the features of the bill.
When adjournment was taken tonight
only 18 of the 23 sections had been read
and the fight will bo resumed tomorrow
morning.
Opponents of the Mil continually re
sorted to filibustering tactics, proposed
frivolous amendments and interspersed
the debate with motions to adjourn. The
old trick of moving to lay an amendment
on the table, thus carrying the bill with
it, was successfully carried out, but the
local optlonlsts awoke In time, defeated
a motion to adjourn and lifted the bill
again after two rolls had been called.
Spectators on the floor of the House
partlclapted In the viva voce vote to lay
on the table and wtre warned to desist
on penalty of clearing the floors of all
but members.
"Dry" Tield Few Points.
Filibustering methods were adopted,
even to the extent of demanding roll
call on amendments made by the "wets"
and consented to by the "drys." The
bill as It now stands has been amended
In a few particulars consented to by the
drys. The percentage of voters on a
petition to bring about an election on
the saloon question has been raised from
0 to 30; the length of time that signa
tures remain good thereon has been re
duced from six to three months. Brew
eries are permitted to manufacture their
product In dry territory; the right of
County Commissioners to appropriate
money from the general fund for de
tective service In securing convictions of
violations of the act Is eliminated and
a section regulating doctors' prescrip
tions Is stricken out. The main feature,
the county unit. Is retained.
The vote to resurrect the bill from the
table displayed the actual strength of
the "dry" combination, the vote stand
ing 67 to 38.
A crowd that packed the galleries
was attracted to the House chamber
this morning by the report that the
local option bill would be sent back to
the House by the Judiciary committee
for consideration, and It was not disap
pointed In its anticipation of a display
of oratory. Applause frequently fol
lowed forensic flights, and the Speaker
made little effort to control it.
The judiciary committee submitted a
divided report. A majority of eight
sent the McMasters bill to the House
without recommendation, while five
signed a minority report recommending
a substitution of a bill providing for
separate units In voting on the question
of establishing anti-saloon territory.
The substitute bill provided as one unit
that portion of any county not Included
within incorporated cities, while each
city was given the right to vote as one
unit. Two members of the committee
declined to sign either report.
Debate leasts Until Xoon.
The debate over a motion by Beach,
of Mason County, to adopt the minor
ity report lasted until nearly noon, the
participants frequently departing from
the question at issue and going Into the
merits of the bills. The substitute bill
was criticised as being Inadequate in
that It did not provide sufficient penal
ties for violations of the act and failed
to control blind pigs or the sale of in
toxicating liquors by unscrupulous
druggists.
On the other hand, the advocates of
the substitute bill contended that provi
sions of the McMasters bill were unfair,
but that it was drawn in such form that
reasonable amendments could not be
adopted without reforming the whole act.
It was declared to be impossible to
amend it Intelligently on the floor of
the House.
The vote on the motion to adopt the
minority report was taken Just before
noon and resulted ayes 36, noes 59, the
latter giving a fair Indication of the
strength in the House of the advocates
of the McMasters bill.
Upon reconvening at noon the discus
sion was renewed over an attempt to
make the bill a special order for next
Tuesday. In support of the motion.
Palmer of King declared his convic
tion that not ten members of the House
as yet had read the entire bill. To prove
his assertion he asked that alt who had
read It arise, and was surprised to see
members bob up from all over the House.
The members who had read the bill
lacked but a few of being a majority of
the House. The motion was lost, 54 to 41.
This action then put the bill on second
reading and opened it for amendment.
All afternoon the discussion was centered
on the first section of the bill declaring
what shall constitute the units in voting
to abolish or retain saloons in a given
territory.
In an effort to destroy the county unit
provisions, an amendment was proposed
making first, second and third-class cities
separate units. An amendment to this
.amendment was proposed making all in
corporated cities and towns separate
units. The effect of this amendment If
adopted as a provision of the law would
be to prevent voters residing outside of
cities from controlling the action of such
cities In reference to sale of liquor.
The amendment to the amendment and
the original amendment were successively
voted down, the McMasters adherents
standing firm on both questions.
With the shades of evening falling, and
although seven hours had been spent in
debate, the local option element was de
termined to proceed with the considera
tion of the bill and forced a recess until
7:90 o'clock instead of an adjournment
until tomorrow.

Kenneth Mcintosh. The former was one
of the bar primary selections' for Su
perior Judge, but was defeated In the

Judge George I. Morris, of Seattle, to
the Supreme Bench when the Increase
in the court is allowed and secure the
appointment of Mcintosh to the va
cancy thus created In King County. This
leaves the field clear for Main to secure

the increase Is made in the lower court.
King County men interested in the deal
claim that the appointment of Morris
Is assured and that the other conditions
can be. brought about. It is understood
that Mcintosh has withdrawn his name
from present consideration as an as
pirant for additional Superior Judgeship
soon to be created.

HASTINGS IS ANGRY
Idaho's Treasurer Flares Up
When Accused in House.
BLOWS BARELY AVERTED
Representative Shaw Takes Um
brage at Remarks and Starts for
Official Anti-Jap Resolu
tion Falls to Show.
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 4. (Special.)
The feature of the Legislative session
today -was the- grilling received in the
House by State Treasurer Hastings,
who has been charged with violating
the depositary act In leaving enormous
balances in favored banks under the
guise of having drafts collected, some
of which it is alleged were cashed by
collection account banks the day Has
tings received them, but retained on
deposit.
Instead of explaining his reasons for
his alleged unlawful acts, Hastings,
who had been called on the floor, flared
up on a personal attack of his accusers
saying, among other things, that the
State Land Board had also maintained
similar accounts. During the discus
sion, Representative Shaw, of Ada
County, took umbrage at something
Hastings said and started for ' him.
An encounter was prevented, but Shaw
unmercifully flayed the official.
MURDERER GIVES IIP HOPE
JOHXSOX EXPECTS TO GO TO
GALLOWS.
Sees Xo Chance of Clemency and
Is Preparing to Meet His
Death Calmly.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 4. (Special.) Wal
ter Montgomery Johnson, sentenced to
hang at 12:30 o'clock Friday afternoon,
gave up all hope of a stay of execution
this afternoon, after holding most op
timistic views since his incarceration
several weeks ago, and made the unusual
request that Rev. W. H. Selleck, of Sa
lem, a Methodist minister, visit him to
morrow morning, that he may make
eleventh-hour repentance for what sins
he has committed. As a general rule, a
priest of the Catholic faith is called, and
some surprise was expressed at the wish
advanced by Johnson.
Johnson is in a strangely good frame
of mind tonight, and expects to sleep
soundly ,the last chance of his life. The
crime for which Johnson must pay the
penalty with his death was the murder
of Elmer Purdue in Washington County.
He was convicted December 14, 1908, Al
though there are five prisoners In the
penitentiary who have been sentenced to
hang, he was next to the last to be com
mitted, C. Y. Timmons, of this city, who
will hang February 26, being the last Im
prisoned. Johnson's mother has been in
Salem for some time and has visited her
son In the penitentiary. She is a quiet
little woman and it is a most pathetic
sight to see her enter the prison and go
to the long second tier of cells where the
men sit under the supervision of a death
watch.
Johnson displays admirable nerve, and
it Is stated by men who have watched
many executions and have studied the
psychology of their actions before hang
ing that Johnson will go to his death
without a quiver. He was sentenced
from Hlllsboro.
