Spe cinj )By an almost unanimous vote. Sen ator Nottingham's S. B. US. for return to th old system of having Sheriffs convey insane patients to the Penitentiary, -was indefinitely postponed. The bill was ex tensively discussed, but no roUcall was had. so that tha exact vote was not kThendebate Included several sensational Incidents, the most Important being Sen ator Selling s direct contradiction of a statement made by Senator Nottingham. Nottingham Defends Bill. In defense of his bill. Senator Notting ham aald that he had supported the bill which took away from the Sheriffs the duty of conveying insane patients, hut observation had convinced him that he had made a mistake. He said that In some Instances Insane women were kept in county Jells 14 hours longer awaiting the arrival of an attendant from the Asylum when the patient could be taken to the Asylum In the same time she must wait In confinement. Senator Smith, of Umatfjla. told how he had introduced a bill In the Legisla ture of 1903 requiring that patients be transported by Asylum attendants and how it had been defeated by a lobby of 1 Sheriffs. The bill was passed in the next session, however, and had been found not only a more economical method, but more humane. He hoped never to see the state return to the old system of transportation by Sheriffs. Senators Cole and Smith, of Marion, both physicians, favored the bill for the reason that It was highly Important that a patient be taken to the Asylum as quickly as possible and not be kept wait ing in a steel cell in some distant county jail. Selling Settles Its Fat. Senator Selling plunged a knife into the vitals of the Nottingham bill. He said he favored the present system not only upon the grounds of humanity, but of economy. He asserted that this bill was in the interests of the Sheriffs, for it provides a per diem for the Sheriffs at the same time that he was drawing a alary from the county. "It doesn't provide any per diem for the Sheriff." asserted Nottingham, Interrupt ing Senator Selling. ' . "Read your bill and see tl it doesn't," replied Selling. "J. don't need to read it, I know it doesn't," responded Nottingham. "Then I'll read It," continued Selling, and he read aloud: "The Sheriff shall receive the expenses actually incurred in conveying and guarding said persons by the nearest route, together with the per diem of 3 per day while so actually engaged." This direct and complete contradiction of Senator Nottingham created a pro found sensation in the Senate. "I must confess I did not know that was in the bill," explained Nottingham. "What Sheriff gave you that bill to in troduce?" Inquired Senator C. J. Smith, of Umatilla. "No Sheriff gave It to me. I have not even talked with a Sheriff upon the sub ject," declared Nottingham. The motion to postpone Indefinitely car ried with only two negative votes. "InTestigatlon" Will Be Made. ( The Senate this morning concurred in a House resolution for the appointment of Joint committees to make brief inves tigations of various state institutions, but without employing clerical assistance, and only for the purpose of determining the amount of appropriations needed. The resolution provided for paying actual rail road fare. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 23"to & Senator Johnson's road bill was a spe cial order for today at 10 A. M.. but be cause the amendments had . not been printed the Senate made it a special order for 2 P. M.. Monday. Normal BUI Dead. Senator Abraham's S. B. 71. to divide the state into five normal school districts, was indefinitely postponed today upon rec ommendation of the ways and means com mittee. Senator Abraham gave his ap proval to the postponement, saying that he Is satisfied that the committee Is striv ing to solve the Normal School question. This Will ?fot Please Lawyers. Senator Hrdces' bill governing the pro cedure in personal injury tlumao pases, whre a contingent fee has tweii agreed upon by the attorney for plaintiff, is a measure that will not nnn Reneral favor among attorneys. The hill requires that In all damage suits whore r contingent fee has been agreed upon, the jury shall declare the amount to be paid to I he at torney from the judgment, and If the ac tion be tried by a judge without a jury, the Judge shall declare the amount to be tn paid. The bill also provides that In all uch damage suits It shall bo the duty of the court to Inquire of the attornA- " and the plaintiff whether a contingent fe has been agreed upon. Th bill also makes It unlawful for an attorney to ol-lei-J or receive a greater fee than that awarded by tlie court or Jury, except where the case goes to a higher court on appeal. Livestock Bill's Provisions. Senator Sinnoit's S. B. is, regulating tlie shipment of livestock, makes It tha duty of the railroad companies to trans port livestock without unnecessary delay. A dlay of more than three hours at a railway station is d.-clared to be prima facia unnecessary, as also Is taking more than one hour of time for every 1.1 miles of tiie distance from the starting point to the lestlnation. The presumption that the delay was unnecessary may be over come by evidence, hut the'question Is de clared to be one for the Jury to determine. The hill excepts delays caused by un avoidable accident or by quarantine pro ceedings. KedlstrWtJng Is Proposed. v Senator Coffey and a number of other Senators will on Monday frame a con stitutional amendment providing for re distrktlng the state into Senatorial and Representative districts after the Fed eral census of lf'10. It Is understood that the measure will come In the form of an amendment to the proportional represen tation section of the constitution and in such shape as to wipe out the propor tional representation feature.

Author of Measure Declares He Knows It Cannot Pass, but Ex plains Provisions to Senate. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. 5. (Special.) Selling's proportional repre sentation bill was Indefinitely postponed in the Senate today by a vote of 16 to 10. three absent and one not voting. Sen ator Kay said that as a courtesy to Sen ator Mullt. who could not be present, he had paired, but that, if voting, he would vote "aye." The vote would have been 17 to 11. with Kay and Mulit voting, and quite likely Scholfield and Cole, who were absent, would have voted with the 17 if present. Senator Selling, who introduced the bill, said at the outset that he knew it could not pass the Senate, but he de sired to explain it. This he did at some length, asserting that this was one of the fairest bills that had been intro duced in this Legislature, for It proposed to give eiiect to every himj election of members of the Legislature. He said that under the provisions of his bill each voter would mark his ballot for one candidate, and that surplus or unused votes for one candidate would be transferred to the next highest candidate on the same ticket, and the unused votes in one district transferred to the candl-date-at-large, so that in the end each party would be assured of representation according to its voting strength, the highest candidates of each party being elected to the Legislature. Senator Albee said that he had been uncertain about the bill, but the more he studied It the better he thought of it, and he hoped that, though the bill could not pass, the members would study It so that they would understand it the next time It was presented. Addresses were made in favor of the bill by Barrett. Hedges and Bailey. Those who opposed it were Hart, Beacn. Abraham and Norton. The vote was as follows: Ayes Abraham. Barrett, Beach. Bing ham, Chase. Coffey, Hart, Johnson, Mer ryman. Miller (Linn and Marion), Norton, Nottingham. Fairish. Smith (Marlon), Wood, Mr. President 16. Noes Albee. Bailey, Caldwell, Hedges, Kellaher.

(Special.) Vital amendments to the local option law are proposed in a bill' submitted in the House this afternoon by Representative Brady. ' Principal among the changes in the present law is the amendment increasing from 10 to 25 per cent the number of signatures that must be obtained In any county, subdi vision of a county or precinct before an election on the liquor question can be ordered! The bill also provides that elections so petitioned for shall not be held before November, 1910. and that "no election shall thereafter be held on the same sub ject for two years. There is one pro vision In the bill, however, which says that when a county has been carried for prohibition no local option election shall be held in any precinct of that county until prohibition has been defeated in the same district at a subsequent election. Penalty for Tax Officials. On the same subject. Representative Munkers, of Linn, has offered a bill which provides a penalty of from 150 to $500 for all officers who fail to post ac cording to law notices of all local option elections that may hereafter be held. Recent local option elections In some of the' counties In the state have been de clared irregular for the reason that the required notices of election were not posted properly by the Sheriff. Under the present law no penalty is provided for this delinquency on the part of officials. Purdin's Bank Bill 61ain.

JONES BILL IS REREFERRED Sent to Commutes Again Because Not Clear as to Meaning. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. 5. (Spe cial.) Tlie Oregon City locks bill, by Jones, of Polk, was reported in the Senate this afternoon, with the recommendation that a new bill, bearing Jones' name, be substituted. The new bill provides that the tax already levied and collected, $.'00,000, be turned Into the general fund, and that new levies be made in 1911, 1S12 and 1913 for $100,000 each, and that if the Government makes provision for its part In the purchase of the locks the Secre tary of State shall draw his warrant for the amount. Miller, of Linn, and Selling, of Mult nomah, objected to the substitute bill upon the ground that the language was not clear In giving authority to draw the warrant, and upon their motion the bill was re-referred for correction. The re port shows that the Legislature will un doubtedly make such provision as will continue the state's offer to pay half the costs of the locks. Phone Line to Be Extended. SALEM, Or., Feb. 5.

CLOSE-OUT SALE BUCK'S RANGES 4000 FOR PITER Bean's Flat Salary Bill Is Amended. REFERRED TO COMMITTEE Measure Xot to Take Effect Cntil January, 1911 Dunlway Passes Lie to Mahone on Floor of the House. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. 5. (Special.) If the State Printer is placed on a flat salary by the 1909 Legislature, the new order of things will not go into effect until the expiration of State Printer Dnuiway'B term, January, 1911. Furthermore, the salary of that official will be J4000, instead of J2500, as pro posed in Representative Bean's original blIt is impossible to predict what other amendments may be made to the bill now before the House before it is enact ed, if it ever does beoome a law, for the House today had considered only a few sections of the measure when it was referred to a joint committee consisting of the House committees on Judiciary revision of laws and printing for further amendment and with Instructions to re port the same back to the House at 10 A. M. Tuesday. When Bean's bill came up for consid eration of the House in committee of the whole this morning, Campbell asked that it be referred to the Attorney-General for an opinion as to its constitutionality. To this Bean and McCue, leaders in the fight against the State Printer, demurred and demanded that the bill be consid ered without further delay. Bean ur.-jed that no question could exist as to the constitutionality of the attempt to place this officer on a flat salary, calling at tention to the fact that the State Printer was the only state officer that depended on fees for his compensation. Profits Too Big, Says Bean. Campbell finally withdrew his mo tion to refer tho bill for a legal opinion, but before he did so Bean, in discusKlng the merits 6f the bill, de clared that the State Printer was mak ing between $13,000 to $20,000 per an num xut of the office. As proof of the assertion he referred to the appropria tion for this department, showing that the amount provided by the state had increased from 5u.000 in 1901 to $60,000 for' the year 1907, while there was pending before the ways and Means committee a deficiency claim amount ing to afcout $30,000 for last year. It was because of these facts, said Bean, that the interests of the people de manded reformation in that office. When Campbell had withdrawn his motion, the House proceeded to consid er the blir, section by section in com mittee of the whole, and it was then that the Clackamas County man re newed his charge that the bill was not constitutional for the reason that one oif the members of the proposed state printing board was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who Is prohibited under the constitution from holding anything but a judicial office. This objection was promptly met by the friends of the bill, who proposed an amendment substituting .State Superin tendent of Public Instruction for )the phief Justice. Duntvray Passes Lie. Some member of the House offered amendments of a minor character to every section of the bill as It was read, until Speaker McArthur, who had relin quished the chair temporally, de manded that the debate should end and the bill be referred. He was successful In a motion to dissolve the committee and refer the bill to the joint commit tee for further amendment In response to thejexpressed wishes of the members of the House as disclosed In the debate. In the meantime the bill had been amended In another important particu lar by increasing the salary of the Printer from $2500, proposed in the original draft, to $4000 per annum. During the noon intermission State Printer Dunlway on the floor of the House gave the He to Representative Mahone, who had asserted that Repre sentative Abbott, business partner of Dunlway, had an interest in the busi ness of the state printing office. Be fore any further developments could follow the doorkeeper of the House stepped between the two men and the incident ended, although Mahone threatened to exercise his personal . zi subject to delivery at our or C. 0.
