OLiTiTPIA.- Wash., March 11. (Special.)
Tha House and Senate, working under
a full head, of steam In order to pet
Through Tvith the business of the session,
plunged into the business today of spend
ing th -state's money. The total of the
day exceeds $.000,OiQ. most of which,
however, is provided for in the omnibus
appropriations bill. The House added
J7335 to the omnibus bill, while the Senate
Bpent the afternoon in considering House
appropriation bills. The Senate disposed
of the omnibus bill last night, so its day's
record was the modest sum of ?n63,OSS.
Expenditures Exceed Record.
Tills Legislature has exceeded all
previous sessions in appropriations, pro
vision having been made for the expendi
ture of approximately J10,000,00. Part of
this total, however, is to be made up by
disposal of land resources and issuance
of state bonds.
The most notable work of the session
consisted In the passage of a local option
"bill, an act submitting an equal suffrage
constitutional amendment, adoption of a
complete criminal code to supersede all
existing criminal laws and abolishment
of race track gambling.
Tho Senate found time between consid
eration of minor appropriation bills to
engage 1n two turmoils over bills. One
"was a House bill termed by Its enemies
"the oyster land grab." It Is a measure
that has been before every recent ses
eion of the Legislature; was defeated In
the Senate last night, but brought up
again today on reconsideration.
Oyster Land Grab Passes.
The bill as it passed the House re
linquished the state'B reversionary inter
est In oyster lands sold in 1S05. The lands
consist of -about 400 acres and are claimed
to be worth how nearly J2.000.000. The
law under which they were sold provides
that the state may regain tho lands at
any- time by payment of the purchase
price and for the Improvements made on
he land. The land originally sold for
from $7 to $17 an acre. Opponents of the
'bill today characterized it as an "in
famous steal" and "disgrace upon the
state." and charged that members had
entered Into a deal during the night for
the trading away of the state's property.
The hill was finally passed with an
amendment however, providing for an
appraisement of the state's reversionary
interest and the purchase thereof by the
land holders.
The direct primary bill, which has
passed both Houses, but had been held
up for concurrence In amendments,
caused fireworks when - the conference
committee reported a new amendment
providing that each voter shall give his
party affiliations when registering and be
entitled to only his party ticket at the
primary polls. This amendment was
adopt-id by both Houses and the date of
the election was restored to September.
Convention nomination of Supreme
Judges Is provided for In the bill as
finally approved.
Bryan Assails Amendment.
When the committee amendment was
proposed, Bryan, of Kitsap, charged that
It was an attempt to sneak a section Into
the bill by the enemies of the direct pri
mary and bitterly opposed It, denying a
charge by Metcalf, of 'Pierce, that Bryan
iwas in a recent conference of officials
of the direct primary league, where he
was the only one opposing such a change.
The new measure is designed to pre
sent a repetition of the wholesale vot
ing of Republican party tickets by Demo
crats that occurred In the primary elec
tion last September.

ington, March 11. All members of the
House of Representatives today received
a letter from James E. Snlvely. of Salt

COOS WILL IMPROVE ROADS
Conner Lets $17,000 Contract for
i sone and Plank Highway.
MARSHFIELD. Or., March 11. (Spe
cial.) Contracts for $17,000 improve
ments to the Coos Bay wagon road,
over which the mall Is carried, have
been let by the Commissioners of Coos
County. It is the must important road
Improvement ever made in the county.
There are three different contracts for
the work. The Improvement when
completed will mean a stone and plank
road from Sumner, the beginning of
the stage route, to the Douglas County
line, and an effort will be made to
have Douglas County improve her
part of the road.
The mud on the road as It Is now
Is so deep that a stage cannot make
the trip in Winter time and It is al
most Impossible for the packhorses to
get thought with the mail. Complaint
has been made to the department re
petedly and when an Inspector visited
the district recently he declared that
the people did not deserve better mall
service urltll they built better roads.
- Mall Is transported between Sumner
and Marshfleld In gasoline boats on
. Catching Inlet. This waterway Is be
ing dredged so that the boats can run
at all tides, which will further hasten
the moving of the mail.
COMBINE BID IS ILLEGAL
Judge MoCredle So leclares in Suit
to Decide Cowlitz Printing.
KALAMA. Wash., March 11. (Special.)
In a decision handed down by Judge
McCredle, of the Superior Court, affecting-
the county printing In Cowlitz
County, It Is held that the law does not
permit a combination of papers to make
a bid for the county printing. The Kal
ama Bulletin. The Kelsonlan and the
Kelso Journal offered a combination bid.
The other bidder was the Cowllts County
News.
The suit brought In the Superior Court
to enjoin the County Commissioners from
carrying out the contract was Instituted
by R. H. Mitchell, editor of the News, as
a taxpayer of Cowlttx County, and not
as publisher of the News.
The- court upheld the contention of the
plaintiff and declared the contract Illegal
on the ground that three papers cannot
combine together and put In a bid and the
contract awarded to one paper, the others
doing the printing for nothing; and on
the further ground that the Commission
ers had no right to take Into considera
tion the circulation of the three papers
In considering the question of circula
tion. The Cowlitz County News, there
fore, was the only legal bidder. The de
cision of the court affects the action of
the County Commissioners In the matter
tot county printing for the past ten
months.
Cowlitz County Is now without an of
ficial paper, and the publisher of the
Cowlitz County News says Its now up to
the County Commissioners to designate
an official paper and to let the printing
to the lowest bidder. As he was the
lowest and the only legal bidder, he
thinks he is entitled to the county print

Six Thonsnad Herd of TVurhams to
, Be Aded to Herds Already
Returning Profits to Reds.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. March 11.
(Special.) 'Under what is officially known
as the McLoughJin agreement with the
Klamath and Modoc Indians, which was
approved by Congress about three years
ago. the authorities are now advertising
for 6000 head of heifers of Durham stock,
2 and 3 years old. If these can be had
for division among the Indians to be
placed on their fine allotments It will put
them In position to realize handsomely
from this productive addition to their
wealth. The Klamath reservation with
Its area of over 1S00 square miles is not
excelled elsewhere on the coast either for
meadow lands or upland pasture. A num
ber of the Indians are already well pro
vided with cattle, one of them, the well
known Klamath cattle king, Henry Jack
eon, having about 1000 head. Crawford
arid others have bands of 100 or more
each.
The McLaughlin . agreement under
which this purchase Is to be made ag
gregated $537,007.20, more than half a
million, which they were entitled to as
Indemnification for over 600.000 acres of
lands excluded from the reservation by an
erroneous boundary survey. They were
to receive a cash payment of $23,000. which
was paid them two years ago, and $350,000
was to be placed in the United States
Treasury to draw 5 per cent interest, this
Interest to be paid annually. Of this de
posit they can, on properly signed and
approved petition, draw annually. If they
wieh. 10 per cent' of the principal. From
the deposit they have drawn Interest for
two years and for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1908. drew $35,000, or 10 per cent
of the principal.
From the difference between the full
total of $637,007.20 and the $350,000 deposit
this purchase of cattle will be made, also
agricultural machinery. etc.. without
drawing upon the deposit In the treasury
which draws Interest.
It will be seen that the Klamath and
Modoc Indians, who are admittedly
superior to many other tribes In their in
dustrial character and training bid fair
almost to rival the Osages In
wealth. Each one of something over 1000
Indians on the Klamath reservation has
an allotment of 160 acres of fine meadow
or farming land and has an equal In
terest In the tribal lands which will ap
proximate 800,000 acres after the allotting
is completed, and each will probably also
receive money Indemnification for the'
87.500 acres of timber land given up to
the Booth-Kelly Company In place of the
111.000 acres to which the Supreme Court
decided the Central Military Road Com
pany was entitled under the terms of the
grant from Congress. These Indians were
friends and allies of the whites in both
the Piute and Modoc wars.

plans are carried out at which a pro
gramme for the session will be outlined.
Unless something happens to upset the
programme nothing will then be taken up
without having been previously mapped
out.
A fight to bring up the normal school
matter Is a forgone conclusion, but It
Is believed by those on the Inside that
the majority of the members will refuse
to take the matter up, fearing an aban
donment of the caucus programme and
a consequent protracted and expensive
session. The reading of the Governor's
message will be followed by the consid
eration of the appropriation bill for State
institutions, for which the session lias
been called.

Legislature also will take up a number of
other bills In which Attorney Walter C.

In the bill providing that doors of pub

Flatulency or Wind
on Stomach
As It la Commonly Named, Means
That Decaying Food Is
Making Gas.
This most serious condition Is very
prevalent and results most distressing
ly and fatally oftentimes. The stom
ach In cases of flatulency Is unable to
digest the food properly. Decay sets
In, gases form, extend the stomach,
force their way downward Into the
bowels, and If not relieved It extends
upward pressing- against the lungs,
liver and heart, causing- shortness of
breath, belching, foul odors and many
times sudden death.
Foods which are filled with gases,
when taken Into a deranged stomach
cause flatulency rapidly, vegetables
being especially given to this quality.
Against such a condition the stomach
can do but little, because these foul
and poisonous gases affect Its glands,
muscles and tissues to such a degree
as to incapacitate it almost at once.
These gases distend the stomach in
all directions, preventing the contract
ing muscles from doing their regular
duties, or if they do force the gas
from the stomach it goes elsewhere in
the system with even more harassing
results, a: J then the decaying mass
still remains to generate more gases.
The most effective methods for al
laying flatulency Is to remove the
cause of gas making. An emetlo will
do this but the stomach will have the
same trouble the moment new food j

Attorney George Threatened.
From an authentic source It has been
learned that Attorney George has been
threatened with personal violence and
perhaps death If he permits of the ex
pose of some of the evidence which he Is
eaid to have In his possession affecting
some of the women -whose nam?s have
been used In connection with the case.
"I cannot discuss that with you," said
Attorney George. "I have some evidence
which may be Introduced which is not
alone sensational, but will have a tend
ency to affect the social standing of some
families both In Tacoma and Seattle.
Whether this evidence will be introduced
depends entirely upon the prosecution."
Knife Used as Evidence.
The courtroom, as has been tho case
since the trial began yesterday morning,
was crowded with people. Miss Culber
son was the first witness on the stand,
and for three hours was compelled to sub
mit to a grilling at the hands of the de
fense. Miss Culberson denied that she
had formed a plot for the purpose of
sending Klein to the penitentiary. The
knife which Klein Is alleged to have had
on the day of the assault was Identified
by the witness. Miss Culberson then re
cited the conversation which she says
took place between Mrs. Sauvageot and
Klein at Mrs. Sauvageot's house.
"My elster pleaded with him plaintively:'
wny wont you let those girls come
home? If there is any good In your re
ligion, surely my own daughter can
teach me as well as you. Oh, why do
you keep my own little girl away from
me?' "
"If Dora wanted to come home, why
didn't she come?" asked the attorney.
"We Called Itlrn Jothna."
"Because of his power over her," said
the witness.
"I telegraphed her and said: 'Mother
and Joshua want you to come home.' "
"What right had you to im the name
Joshua?"
"Well, we always called him Joshua."
"What power does he exert over those
girls," asked the attorney.
"Hypnotism," biased the witness. Miss
Culberson could not explain how she knew
the truth of this statement of her own
knowledge.
"Isn't the defendant here a good Chris
tian so far as you know 7" resumed the
attorney.
"No. he is a liar and a coward. re
sponded Miss Culberson.
When pressed for evidence of her
knowledge of his lying propensities,
the witness declared that Klein had
told her he owned an Interest In the
gold mine at Edmonds which J. M. Pea
body Is said to own. She said Peabody
had told her that Klein owned no In
terest In the mine.
Inscribes Scene at Sauvageot Home.
Miss Culberson again explained the
scene at the Sauvageot home, during
which, she says, Klein tried to kill her.
In response to questions of the attorney
sne described the occurrence minutely.
She said she had shaken her fist in his
face and called him "Coward!" She said
Klein sprang at her sister when Mrs.
Sauvageot avked htm "another question."
He reacned in his pocket and I saw
him open the knVe with one hand on
the Inside of the pocket and the other
outside," declared the witness. "Then he
Jumped at my sister and shouted, I will
kill you!' Then he jumped at me. and I
pushed him away and screamed. The
policeman then came In."
She said Klein had told her upon that
occasion that he was both God and the
devil. She retorted that he might be the
latter, for Bhe knew he was not the for
mer. Klein "Fiend Incarnate."
Mrs. Sauvageot took the stand this aft
ernoon. She frequently broke Into wild
sobs as she spoke of her absent daugh
ter. "If ever a man deserves hanging
that Is the man!" she wildly cried, point
ing to Klein.
"My God. It la i devil Incarnate. . X
gave him absolute trust and confidence,
and he has betrayed me utterly. I believe
that my daughter was hypnotised and Is
at this moment."
She frequently reiterated that Klein
was a "fiend Incarnate," and said that
while In Amsden Klein tried to get her
to sign a paper stating that she was to
take all the blame, and threatened to
kilt her.
"The clothes that Klein Is wearing
now," ehe said, "are those he bought with
the money I gave my daughter In New
York for her to return to Tacoma."
She said she originally trusted Klein be
cause she believed he was a good man
and earnest. "Ho had my money and my
check, book while In Amsden. and threat
ened to burn the house down unless I
left tt."
Mrs. Sauvageot burst Into tears and
lost control of herself, and court was ad
journed until tomorrow.
