PARTY'S PLEDGES BROKEN Acting Governor Declares I.one Dem ocrat Is Only Real Republican Among Them Will Be War to Finish. SEATTLE. "Wash., Feb. 19. (Special.) "I am her to tell you that this bill that your King County Senators rammed down our throat will not do. In my Judgment It cannot pass the J louse, and will never become a law by "executive signature. I want no local option bill that Is backed, by the brewery ;md liquor Interests," said Acting Gov ernor Hay, In an address here tonight before an audience of 250 members of the Congregational Men's Clubs of the city, fathered at Pilgrim. Congregational Church. These words were the feature of the ltd dress In which the Acting Governor of "Washington carried the war into the fnmy's country and sought to arouse public sentiment to force the King County S nators to support Hay's idea of a reasonable local option bill which Is rtnrhingMess than the league bill. The meeting at Seattle tonight had been framed up by Representative F. C. Jackson, of the "dry's" and the league, and up to the time of his departure from Oiympia Hay did not know Just where lie was to speak nor to whom. Hay Minces "o Words. The Acting Executive opened his re marks by saying he had at first Intended to decline the invitation to be present, but after the passage of the Senate local option bill "I decided not to lose this op portunity to tell the boss my troubles. I soon found a way to get over here." fie said In part: "The people of Seattle are the boss to whom I am appealing. A very peculiar condition of affairs exists in Oiympia, especially as relates to the Senators from "King County has eight Representa tives in the State Senate; seven are Re publicans and one is a Democrat. If getting on the right aide of the local option bill Is a standard by which we may judge in this matter, the Demo cratic Senator Is the only Republican Senator King County now has In the Striate. Democrat Only Right One. "Xow, I do not desire to be understood as criticising the Republican Senators. They are most able and excellent men, but they do not look upon this local op tion question in the light that I do. I feel that they are not giving nor at tempting to give the people of the State of Washington a reasonable enforclble local option bill, as was contemplated when the platform was adopted In Spo kane, neither is it such a bill as Gov ernor Cosgrove, the spokesman of our party, can Indorse. It la possible that these Senators represent your views In this matter. If such la the case I have no complaint to make. What I want to know is do they represent you, and If not, I would like to have you people take an Interest in the matter and get them right on the question. Rubs Salt Into Wounds. "I understand there Is one Seattle Sen ator who claims he has more saloons In his district than In any other district In the United States. If this is true, and the Senator's word Is absolute evidence, no doubt this particular Senator repre sents his constituents, and he Is certainly doing It ably. "I had the pleasure of listening to the debate on this question In the Senate last Wednesday, and I must certainly admit that the Seattle Senators ably defended the Interests of the liquor men. "I doubt very much If Kins County would knowingly send Representatives to Oiympia who ar not honorable men, but there seems to 'me there is a slipping cog somewhere. Some of the strongest men we have in the House who are champion In:? a strong and efficient local option bill are King County men. I cannot un derstand why you have so many members In the House from King County who are supporting the bill when every Repub lican Senator from King County is op posing it." Means Fight to Finish. He referred to his last conversation with1 Cosgrove before the latter returned to California, in which the Governor ex pressed a desire for the strongest en forclble local option bill that could be Iassed. In closing, the Governor said that If the League bill or some other equally pood measure Is not passed this session "this administration will meet tne oppo nents of this measure in the Ides of Sep tember, 1910. If we lose then, we will have another chance In September, 1912. This fight Is going to be kept up until cne side or the other Is trounced to a linish." Crowd Jeers Fight Decision. SAN FRANCISCO.

OLYMPU S OK TAKE BRIE Having Passed 13 Days, Legislators Bills in 40 Agree to Celebrate Holiday. IMPORTANT BILLS WAIT House Indulges in Fight on Med ical Board Local Option to Bo Revived Next Week and Equal Suffrage Also Looms. OYLMPIA, Wash., Feb. 19. (Special.) With 40 of the 60-day session gone, the Washington Legislature has enacted but 13 bills into laws. In spite of the back ward character of the legislative work both houses today adjourned until Tues day morning. A minority in both branches desired to continue at work tomorrow, but the majority ruled otherwise and as Monday is a legal holiday the adjourn ment was for three days. Practically all the important bills before the Legisla ture are yet to be enacted. This condi tion has been brought about largely by three causes, the absorbing character of the local option fight, the tendency to ad journ on slight provocation, and the dis position to engage in lengthy debates over minor measures. The local option fight is far from set tled. After occupying for two days al most the entire attention of the Senate with the House as spectator, the bill is now back in the House, where considera tion of the Senate substitute for the Mc Masters Anti-Saloon League bill has been put off until next week. The substitute was referred to the public morals com mittee by the House, ultra local option lsts not cnrrylng out their threat to sum marily kill the bill. Settle Fight ext Week. . The outlook Is for the settlement of the lox'al option issue next week, by the adoption of still another substitute that will occupy a middle ground between the two opposing forces. This bill. It is ex pected, will contain the unit provisions of the Nichols bill and many of the en forcement provisions of the Anti-Saloon League bill, but it will be drawn with the purpose of avoiding the charge that it Is either an Anti-Saloon League or a saloon bill. The House gave an exhibition today of its debating proclivities when it spent the entire day quarrelling over the provisions of a bill 'refraining the State Board of Medical Examiners. Charges made earlier in the session against members of the present board of improper acceptance of money from candidates for admission to practice were not repeated, but the bill was characterized by its enemies as de signed to perpetuate a medical trust. An attempt to Incorporate reciprocity between this state and others In the hon oring of diplomas caused most of the dis cussion. Beach, of Mason, fought the provision on the ground that travel of physicians was to the West and not to the East. He claimed that most of the phy sicians coming to this state were superan nuated doctors who had grown rusty in the practice and should be re-examined. The reciprocity amendment was finally defeated by one majority and the bill carried. The principal change la to give the osteopaths representation on the board. Equal Suffrage Row Due. Equal suffrage, which has passed the House, will come up in the Senate Tues day, and it is now claimed that 31 Sena tors or more than the necessary two thirds are pledged to support it. One of the principal advocates left tonight for her home in Spokane, in the belief that the fight Is won. The criminal code will also be pre sented In the form of a bill Tuesday by the sub-judiciary committee that has been going over the recommendations of the code commission. The principal change made has been to cut out the most stringent provisions of the "news paper gag" section. The bill will not prohibit the publishing of the details of homicides, as recommended by the com mission. The school code and the omnibus ap propriation bill will occupy a large amount of the attention In the last 20 days of the session, with the possibility, however, that the school code will be indefinitely postponed next week. It has numerous actfve enemies. Revision of the game laws will also receive a large amount of legislative con sideration. Child Drowns in Spring. EUGENE, Or., Feb. 19. (Special.)

Dasffott, superintendent of the Portland garbage crematory, In speaking before the North Kast Side Improvement Association lost night, declared tliat the present crematory could not stand more than a few months; that it appeared on the verge of collapse and something must be dono at once. He suggested that garb age be collected by streetcars specially designed for the purpose, removed from the city and Incinerated at points outside the city limits. M. G. Munly spoke at length favoring the city lotting a contract to private parties to lake care of all garbage, and expressed the belief that it could be done that way better than if handled by the city, for a private company could make profit out of the by-products. John T. Vhalley suported this view, and others opposed on the grounds that it would result in heavy taxation. Councilman Menefee said two propositions were pend Ing, one for a bond ifsue and one to let contract to private parties to take care of the garbage. All were opposed to building gargage plants inside the city. Mr. Daggett agreed such Incinerators were an injury to adjacent property. After discussion L. T. Peory, John T. Whalley, V. A.

PUBLIC SPEAKER Advlnea Pcstum Instead of Coffee. Some people think they must have a cup of coffee or tea before attempting; any special work, some want It after wards. The same harmful effects of the oof feo poison caffeine are sooner or later made manifest in either case. "As a public speaker." writes a Penna. man, "I had been In the habit of drink ing a cup of coffee after my evening's work. "My nights were nearly always rest less, or when I did sleep I would awake with a heavy dull feeling and every movement bernmo an effort." (Reac tion of the coffee poison.) ".My nervous system eventually became so unstrung that 1 was obliged to place myself under the care of a physician. "The doctor advised me to give up coffee and drink Postum, which I did. Postum not only assures me a good night's sleep but nourishes the system. I have used it for a year and have taken great pleasure In inducing sev eral families In our neighborhood to use Postum instead, of coffoe. "One neighbor, a highstrung. nerv ous woman who had drank coffee all her life, frequently had attacks of stomach trouble from which she suf fered untold agonies. Since she dropped coffee and has been drinking Postum she is In good health. "A young mart who had been used to coffee three times a day, found his nervous system calling for something; stronger. He began to use splrltous liquors and was on the down grade. "He finally decided to stop coffee and alcoholic beverages and drink Postum. Mot being made right at first, he did not like it. but when I showed him how to make it boil it lo minutes, he liked It. "This young man Is now prosperous, healthy and of good habits.
