OLYMPIA. Wash.. June 23.(Special.)
A. S. Ruth, of Olympia, and Leo o. Meigs,
of North Yakima, presiding: officers of
the Sonata and House respectively, in the
last regular session, won on organization
me special session this afternoon, the
former without a spectacular fig-lit. but
the. latter only after scorching debate that
exceeded In heat anything witnessed in
the recent stormy Legislature.
Claiming the office of Speaker without
the necessity of a vote and arbltrarlly
acting as presiding officer. Meigs' rul
ings were, hissed and condemned as "high
handed outrages" by the supporters of J
W. Slayden. of Tacoma, and the invective
became so bitter that finally Meigs, to
restore harmony, tendered his resigna
tion. This resignation the House refused
to aeoe.pt by a vote- of 4S to 43. During
the, dlscusMon acts of Governor Hay were
dragged In and he was characterized as a
'elf-coneUtuted dictator of the state."
House Vetoes Postponed.
The Legislature so far has organized,
received the Governor's message recom
mending the ousting of J. H. Sehlvely.
Insurance Commissioner, and a' con
tinuance, of the graft investigation,
and has adjourned until tomorrow
morning. Neither house has adopted
a resolution limiting the legislation to
matters, germane to Investigation, but the
House has poctopend consideration of the
Governor's vetoes of House measures
until a fixed date in the regular session
of 1SI1. The Senate vetoed bills are a
special order for tomorrow.
Such Is the brief history of the first day
of the special session of the 11th Wash
ington Legislature.
In the House Speaker Meigs, of the
regular aession, called the body to order
and after the preliminaries of swearing
in two new Democratic members, Hanna
of Douglas and Huffman of Grant, Meigs
relinquished the chair to Bell of Pierce
County.
Prior to the convening of the House,
41 of the supporters of J. W. Slayden.
of Pierce, had caucused under a call
pledging them to the "shortest session
possible and the continuation of the in
vestigating committee." "With these 41
and two others unnamed Slayden claimed
a majority of the Republican members.
His followers had persuaded the eight
Democratic members to caucus, and It
was the Slayden expectation that the
Democrats would center on Edge of Spo
kane. With a majority of the Republican
members, but lacking four votes to elect.
Slayden expected to hammer down the
Meigs following on strict party lines.
The Meigs support gained the floor
first, however, when Bell assumed the
chair, and F. C. Jackson, of King, of
fered a resolution retaining the SpeaKer,
Chief Clerk and Sergeant-at-Arms of the
regular session in office.
Resolution Brings Bitterness.
This resolution brought out the first
bitterness of the session. Ole Hanson, a
supporter of Meigs in the regular ses
sion, but now opposed to him. character
ized the resolution as cowardly. Hanson
declared he wanted a clean-cut vote on
the Speakership, as he desired to tell
why he would not vote for Meigs.
Beach of Mason declared that a ma
jority of the House members had cau
cused and decided upon a Speaker; that
the Republican party was big enough to
clean Its own house, that th. rw
would support their own candidate in
the event of a clean-cut contest and that
e resoiuuon was an attempt to evict
is Dy me aid or Democratic votes.

Says He Made $10,000 Mis
take in Substructure Bid.
HAS $11,000 FORFEIT UP
Job of Building Superstructure Let
to V. S. Engineering & Construc
tion Company, Which Made
Bid of $321,690.
The City Executive Board yesterday
afternoon awarded the contract for build
ing the new steel bridge at Madison
street across the Willamette River to
Robert Wakefield and the United Engi
neering & Construction Company, both of
Portland. The combined bids for sub
structure and superstructure were $416,
416, engineering charges I20.S20, the total
cost of the bridge to be ,437,236.
Mr. Wakefield declared to Mayor Lane
and the members of the Board that he
made a mistake of 10,000 in his proposal
and asked to be permitted to withdraw,
but as he had deposited a certified check
for $11,000 as a guarantee that he would
accept the work if awarded to him, it is
regarded as probable he will proceed with
his share of the job.
Will Go Ahead at Once.
The United Engineering & Construction
Company, of which Drake C. O'Reilly is
president. Is prepared to go ahead at
once with the building of the superstruc
ture when the substructure is ready, and
will get into action promptly, unless Mr.
Wakefield refuses to accept the contract
and decides to forfeit his check Instead.
The general impression among city of
ficials and contractors Is that he will not
care to give the city such a magnificent
prese.it and that he .will carry out the
contract as best he can. Lawyer R. W.
Wilbur, representing Mr. Wakefield, de-i
clined to say Jast night what action his
client will take regarding the matter.
While an opinion was asked of City
Attorney Kavanaugh, as to whether a
bid such as made by Mr. Wakefield could
be altered after being opened', the opinion
was not used, as the members of the Ex
ecutive Board decided that they would
go ahead and award the contract to the
lowest bidders and let the latter take care
of themselves. Therefore, the bids of the
United Engineering & Construction Com
pany for building the superstructure at
the price of J321.690 and of Mr. Wakefield
for the substructure at $94,726 were ac
cepted and the contracts awarded to
them.
Subject Discussed in Detail.
Mayor Lane and the members of the
Board held a lengthy session discussing
the bids formally and informally, a recess
of one hour being declared before the
final action was taken. It was felt by
some that it would be unjust to award to
Mr. Wakefield the contract for the sub
structure at a figure said by him to be a
certain loss to himself, and by others It
was argued that the Board could take no
official cognizance- of the alleged mistake
said to have been made bv Mr. Waifi.M.
that the members are appointed to guard

FEW BOURBON DEMOCRATS
Only Ten Vote to Reduce Rough
Lumber Duty to $1 Pineapple
Duty Raised at Behest of the
Southern Senators.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 23. Although the Senate to
day added 50 cente to the duty on rough
lumber as fixed by the House and made a
slight reduction in the duty on finished
lumber, the Pacific Coast Senators have
considerable doubt whether the House, on
final consideration, will agree to the $1.60
duty on rough lumber. At heart they
very much fear the House will insist upon
its own figure and. if a bitter fight should
develop between the two houses over
this schedule, there is believed to be dan
ger that the Senate managers will acoept
the House provision.
Because or the strong sentiment in the
House in favor of free lumber, and be
cause free lumber was only voted down
in that body with the aid of the New
England members who entered into a
combination to get free hides, there is a
decided possibility that the dollar duty
may be restored, especially if the Senate
is successful in retaining the duty on
hides.
It was noticed in the Senate today that
Chamberlain voted for the Aldrich
amendment increasing the duty on rough
lumber and voted against the McCumber
amendments to diminish the duty agreed
upon by the finance committee.

who has been a persistent advocate of
free lumber, . presented an amendment

of $1.60 per thousand on sawed lumber
to. the House , rate of $1 per thousand.
This was recognized generally as a

himself a fortune, considered by no
means a modest one, he saw coming a
steady rise of cotton, which has been

the New York Cotton Exchange for
the mart wherein to stage his play.
