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."

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 19. Johnny
Murphy was given the decision over
Maurice Sayers, of Milwaukee, at the end
of a 15-round bout tonight before the

cleverness and science. The decision was

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.

entire section relating to damages for
employes from Illness from lead poison

case of his death, Senator Kerns admit
ted partial defeat of the object of the
bill and charged that the lead trust was

Kerns, the lead trust had two agents In
Boise, lobbying against the bill, and had
succeeded in having It held up in the
House. Rather than sacrifice the re
mainder of the bill. Kerns decided the
better way would be to omit the sick
clause, which would strengthen the
chances for passage of the measure when
it came up for second reading.

Speakers on East bide Disagree as
to Remedy.
C. Li. 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. Cadwell, li. Versteeg and
G. M. Hyland were appointed to in
vestigate the question and report at the
next meeting.

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. He believes
Postum saved him from becoming a
drunkard."
