HAY WILL SIGN MEASURE
Bill Providing for $1,000,000 Cap
itol at Olympia Passes House
With Support of King and
Pierce Members.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 23. (Special.)
With more than the necessary two
thirds of the members of the Senate
pledged for the measure, the friends of
the woman's suffrage bill brought it up
under suspension of the rules today
and passed it, 30 to 9. without discus
sion. The bill grot two votes more than the
number necessary to carry a bill sub
mitting: a constitutional amendment,
while one member pledged In its favor
was absent. The bill has now passed
both houses and will be signed by the
Acting Governor. The question will be
submitted at the next general election,
nnd If it receives a two-thirds major
ity therein, the suffrage rights held by
women in the territorial days of Wash
ington will be restored.
Throughout the entire session the
Washington Equal Suffrage Associa
tion has maintained a lobby in Olym
pla. with at times ten to a dozen
women here, urging the passage of the
measure. The bill went through tin
House several weeks ago without seri
ous opposition, a number of the op
ponents of the issue not making a seri
ous fight on the bill in the belief that
the Senate would kill it.
To Complete Olympia Capitol.

by numerous members in the House.
the Carlyon bill providing for the erec
tlon of a million-dollar capitol at
Olympia passed the House today by a
vote of 69 to 17. Lnder the provisions

depends on the advantageous sale of
tlie state capital land grant by a com
mission consisting of nine members.
five of whom will be state officers and
the other four appointed by the Gov
ernor.
he bill provides for the completion
of the capitol started here In JSUtf and
for which 'the foundation was finished
at a cost approximating $100,000. The
apitol is to be completed on the old
foundation, which has been cared for
In the intervening years.
ftupport Krom King and Pierce.
" A notable feature of the discussion
was the Htand in favor of the bill taken
fc the King and Pierce County Rep
resentatives, delegations from these
counties In the past having generally
favored capitol removal.
Eight new bills filed today deal with
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. One
is a state-wide prohibition bill, intro
duce! by Cotterlll of King; another by
the same author provides for an ad
visory vole on the question of prohibi
tion at the next general election; two
bills prohibit the sale of liquor to In
dians of mixed blood; another is the
Sayre bill, copied after the Iowa mulct
law. and another prohibits the adver
tising of spirituous or malt liquors.
The new batch Increases the number
of antl-booze bills Introduced in this
session to 40.
License for Smelt Fishermen.
The licensing of smelt fishermen on
the Columbia River is the subject of a
new bill by Stewart of Cowlitz County.
It fixes a $10 annual license, prohibits
the use of fish wheels, drag or other
seines, or traps, and limits the issuance
of licenses to citizens of this state.
The Senate will take up the general
Columbia River fisheries bill tomor
row morning as a special order.
The Senate again showed a disposi
tion today to frown on attempts to in
vestigate state departments and lnstl
"TTrtlons. Hutchinson of Spokane Introduced a
resolution reciting that charges of
graft were current and providing for
the appointment by the Governor of a
legislative committee of six to investi
gate all departments and institutions
and report to the Governor and next
Legislature. No sooner had the reso
lution been read than a motion was
made to refer it to committee where it
Is likely to be smothered.
President Ruth failed to recognize
Hutchinson, who was on his feet de
manding to be heard. The motion was
declared carried, and Hutchinson,
Paulhamus and Roscnhaupt immedi
ately made a protest over the Presi
dent's arbitrary action. On appeal to
the Senate Ruth was sustained, bow
ever, by a vote of 19 to 15.

BOLD THUGS GET NO 'COIN
Attempt to Make Off With Money
From Carbarns' Frustrated.
6POKANE, Wash., Feb. 23. (Special.)
While two receiving clerks at the car
barns of the Washington Powers Com
pany were counting the receipts of the
day at an early hour this morning, a
masked and armed highwayman at
tempted to hold up the occupants of the
office and make away with the several
thousand dollars of silver that was in
the office at the time.
The thug slipped into the car barn
and overpowered the night watchman,
whom he compelled, to precede him to
the office on the second floor and ask
the receivers to open the door of their
office.
H. J. Hllderbrant, one of the receivers,
raised the blind of the window to see
who had made the request, when a re
volver was thrust Into his face and he
was ordered to throw up his Jiands.
Hilderbrant dropped to the floor and al
most at the same time the ruffian fired,
the bullet shattering the window.
Alarmed at the noise, the hold-up fled.
Only one man was seen at til barn,
but it has been learned that another
was nearby in a wagon, with which the
money was to have been carried away.

ADVANCE FUNDS.
Students Appeal to Board of Regents
to Provide forCompIctlon of
Year's Term.
WESTON, Or., Feb. 23. (Special.)
Weston Normal will not continue unless
some arrangements for the work are
made by the state biard. Citizens here
assert that they will not contribute
another dollar for the support of an
institution which It Is the business of
the state itself to maintain, and the
students as a class are without suffi
cient funds to do much toward that
end. although most of them are
still
here and are very anxious
finish
the school year.
The studnet body held a mass meet
ing this forenoon and adopted resolu
tions to be telegraphed to the State
Board, begging that something be done
toward continuing the school until
June.
Later the students and citizens met
In Joint meeting and several speeches
were made, but no definite action
taken. Some of the teachers said that
they are willing to teach without sal
ary until June.
In general townspeople feel disheart
ened and assert that they have been
betrayed by the State Senate, and that
their work and donations in the past
to build up the school have been dis
regarded. They are willing that the
school should close Its doors at once,
although expressing great regret at the
hardships caused the teachers and stu
dents. Several of the teachers have re
ceived no pay since December.

forts made In good faith within that time
to secure employment. There are many
persons who are idle and who wander
about the streets and as many more who
lodge In barns, etc., and cannot sleep in
lodging-houses because they cannot find
employment. What is to become of this
class of men, many of whom are honest
and many of whom would be glad to
work and earn their support?
"It may be conceded that there are
many who are vagrants In fact, and who
ought to be punished, but it Is better
that they go unwhlpped of Justice than
that men who honestly seek to earn a
livelihood should be compelled to suffer
punishment by Imprisonment. When the
state, the county or the municipajlty is
prepared to furnish this class of men
with work. It seems to me It will be time
enough to punish them if they do not
accept employment."
Nottingham's Bill Duplicates.
Senator Nottingham's Senate bill . 209,
fixing the time for registration of voters
prior to the November election was
vetoed because the subject Is already
covered by law. The amendment chang
ing the time of general election provides
that all laws pertaining to nomination of
candidates, registration of voters, . etc,
shall be effected the same number of days
before the November election that may
have been heretofore prior to the June
election.
Mulit's Senate bill 93, exempting public
bonds from taxation, was vetoed. The
Governor expresses doubt whether ex
emption from taxation would enable a
city to get a lower rate of Interest.
"In any event," says the Governor, "It
Is better that the municipal corporation
issuing bonds pay a little higher rate
of interest than these bonds be exempt
ed from taxation and the whole of the
state be compelled to bear the burden.
It Is very probable that a very small
percentage of these bonds ever go on the
assessment rolls, anyway, and so prac
tically escape taxation now."
The four salary bills vetoed are: House
bill 326, increasing the salary of the
School Superintendent of Columbia Coun
ty; House bill 109, increasing the salary
of Assessor of Coos County; Senate bill
123, Increasing the salary of the Treas
urer of Harney County; Senate bill 124,
Increasing the salary of the School Super
intendent of Harney County.

OBJECTS TO KF.Q TJIRIXG BOND
OF ABSTRACTORS.
Lawyers Also Elect Officers to Serve
Year, Naming Gus O. Mo
6er President.
Senate bill No. 69. providing that all
makers of abstracts must give bonds,
received the unanimous disapproval of
the Multnomah Bar Association at Its
annual meeting last night. Arthur
Langguth. secretary of the association,
was Instructed to telegraph the associa
tion's action to Governor Chamberlain
this morning, in the hope that the Gov
ernor will veto the measure, it having
passed both the House and the Senate,
The bill provides that all abstractors
must give a bond of $30,000 to the state
upon going into business and must de
posit 10 per cent of their earnings each
year thereafter until the amount of the
bond is $100,000. It is declared by the
supporters of the measure that this is
necessary to protect property-owners
who apply for abstracts from loss on
account of mistakes. . But the attorneys
of the local Bar Association say that
the measure gives a monopoly of 'he
abstracting business to large concerns.
The association also passed unanimous
ly a resolution presented by George S.
Shepherd, asking the clerks of the Circuit
Court and Justice Courts to mail to the
attorneys interested notices of the time
for the hearing of cases or demurrers
and questions of law where a hearing
is called for.
It was reported that House bills 200,
201 and 203. recommended by the associa
tion, oassed the Legislature and that
practically all the bills disapproved by
the association were killed In the Legis
lature. A vote of thanks was extended
to W. M. Davis for his work with the
members of the House and Senate for
the association.
Officers to serve one year were elected
and will be tendered a banquet. They
are: President, Gus C. Moser; first
vice-president, Charles J. Schnabel; sec

is excited over the discovery of gold

For the dining-room there is no style or char

LITTLE BABY
HORRIBLY BURNED
By Boiling Grease Skin All Came
off One Side of Face and Head
Tried an Ointment which Made It
Ail Fester Wee Sufferer Seemed
Disfigured for Life.
CURED WITHOUT A
MARK BY CUTICURA
"About a year and eight months ago
my baby, aged ten months, was sitting
on the mat beside the fender and we were
preparing the breakfast when the frying
pan full of boiling grease was upset and
it went all over one side of the baby's
face and head. One of the family ran
and wined the scald with a towel and
you may think what a mess she made,
pulling the entire skin off. We took her
to a chemist who told us to get a doctor,
which w did. He tended her a week
and gave me some stuff like lard to put
on. But it all festered and I thought
the baby was disfigured for life. A
woman close beside me told me to try
Cuticura Ointment. I used about three
boxes and it was wonderful howit healed.
In about five weeks it was better and
there wasn't a mark to tell where the
scald had been. People used to ask me
if that was the babv that was scalded
and they would hardly believe me when
I told them she was and what cured her
face. Her skin is just like velvet and I
have never been without Cuticura since.
Cuticura cured three other children of
ringworm besides, so I have good cause
to thank it for what it has dona. Mrs.
Hare, 1, Henry St., South Shields. Dur

CUTICURA
World's Favourite Emollient.
A single anointing with Cuticura Oint

cura Soap and followed in the severer
cases by a dose of Cuticura Pills, is often
sufficient to afford immediate relief in
the most distressine forms of torturing.
