Schively, the accused Insurance Commissioner, made his first formal appearance today, accompanied t' Ills attorney, George C. Israel, but further proceedings will not be held un til August 11. Schively and Israel were at the door of the Senate promptly at 10:30 this morning, which was the hour set in the summons, and they were admittted after the House Impeachment managers had been sent for and Senator Presby, of Klickitat County, had been called to the chair. The galleries were packed with spectators and House members crowded the Senate floor to witness the proceed i lngs. "Mr. President. John H. Schively, In surance Commissioner of the State of "Washington, and myself, his counsel, now appear in answer to this honorable I berfy's summons." was the announce ! mont made by Israel. Biased Member Challenged. I They were directed to be seated .nd : the chief clerk was Instructed at once to read n motion for continuance pre . sented by Attorney Israel. In this mo ; tion the right is reserved by the ac cused to challenge the jurisdiction of the court, to challenge the right of various members to sit in the hearing by reason of actual or Implied bias; to move that the articles be made more definite; to strike out such articles of Impeachment as may be extraneous, re dundant, incompetent and Immaterial or to challenge the legal sufficiency of any of the articles. These reservations are taken as indications that Israel, by challenging the jurisdiction of the Senate, hopes to get Into court if scliivrly 4s conviqted. The motion was suported bv an nffl davit from Schively alleging that it would be necessary for him In meeting rie rnarstes to secure depositions from witnesses In New York. Massaeh 11 sot 1 s Colorado. Illinois. Pennsylvania. Mary land and Michigan, and that this would lunsume a great amount of time. Defendant Will Deny All. In arguing for the granting of the mo linn ...-..-... i , . , ', j ueciarea it was me intention or Mr. Schlvelv to deny each and every article in toto. and to present an affirmative defense to most of them unless such arttrln. stricken out or otherwise disposed of on motion or demurrer. The tirst motion presented was by Nichols of King who proposed giving the u-.t,...a.L uniu juiy s to answer. This was opposed by Graves of Spokane who rufKU l"al aays was limit enough. vim i supported the mo tion and declared that Schively 30 days ago had secured a continuance on liis irmi on cnarges preferred by the Spokan ' "v' j - i i u 1 1 ci inai it was necessary for him to prepare for the im peachment trial. Cotter!ll of King proposed a substitute muuon mat was adopted. The motion gives Schively nine days in which tn fli with the Attorney -General a.n answer to the charges: gives the Attorney -General lour days In which to prepare a reply, and provides that both sides shall have until August u to marshal their testi mony and otherwise prepare for trinl Attorney Israel announced that at that Time he would be prepared to proceed . without further requests for contin- i nances with all the matters connected j -with the impeachment trial. Schively "in aiso plead to the charges on that aaie. Rule of Procedure Drawn. ; The adoption of the Cotterlll substitute (ended the morning's proceedings, and In . the afternoon rules on letters rogatory I and Interrogatory were adopted, and the cenate adjourned as 'an Impeachment court, but not as. a branch of the Legis j lature, until August 11. at 2 P. M. Both houses took steps to prepare for the sessions of the Impeachment court. a concurrent resolution was adopted which gives the consent of either house to the taking of a recess adjournment by the other of more than three days during the interim that may exist be tween the close of the present legis lative work and August 11. The House has adopted arestution excusing from attendance during the trial all members except the Impeachment managers durlrnr the Interim until summoned back by such managers. The per diem of the im peachment managers was Increased from $5 to 7 a day. The managers will begin work Immediately marshal ing testimony. It has ben practically agreed that one of their number.

Members were anxious to witness the beginning of Impeachment proceed ings In the Senate, and no opposition was offered In Its final passage. Gown Investigation Kails. The House then passed the House sup plementary resolution requiring the com mittee to take up the work, office ' by nfflce. and Palmer secured the incorpora tion of a clause requiring the committee; to investigate the extent to which the Judicial gown act is being observed. When the supplementary resolution reached the Senate, Allen, chairman of the investigation committee, opposed It nd It was killed by indefinite postpone ment. As the matter now stands, the present roinmittee is empowered to go ahead Under instructions of general character. Its power to employ experts is broad tned. but the Legislature has rot yet greed on how much money it shall have t Its disposal. The House bill appropriating $40,000 for this purpose was amended In the Senate today by reducing the amount to $25,000. and as so amended passed. But the House refused to concur and the Senate refused to recede. Confer ence committees have been appointed. but will not get together until tomor row. Although general legislation was taken up in the Senate, attempts to open the way for repeal of some of the appropriation bills of the last session failed. The Booth bill repealing the appropriation of $50,000 for the im provement of the Upper Columbia River was considered in the committee of the whole, and on its recommendation was sent to the appropriations committee after President Ruth declared: "You can't repeal any appropriation bills this session, and you might as well give it up now." The bill for transferring the Soldiers" Home from Ortlng to Port Orchard, combining It there with the Veterans' Home, and transferring the School for the Feeble Minded from Medical Lake to Ortlng, has gone over until t Legislature reconvenes after the recess adjournment. The bill, which was presented in the House by the investigating committee, aroused opposition from the Pierce and Spokane County delegations, and, after a long discussion, a motion was adopt ed providing for the appointment of a Junketing committee to visit all three Institutions and report next month. The House gave the committee ap pointed to Investigate the DeWolfe charges against the Supreme Court au thority to summon DeWolfe to appear before it. The Sergeant-at-arms has gone for the Taooma lawyer, and he will appear tomorrow afternoon before the committee. Game Bill Has Variety. The game bill which passed the Sen ate today applies as to open seasons in different form practically to every county. The bag limit on upland birds is fixed at five a day and on water fowl at 20 a day or 50 a. week. Hunters are permitted to kill but two deer each season, and then must not shoot them when In the water or when on land within 600 feet of the shore. The commercial waterways bill gives authority for the formation of assess ment districts for the construction of waterways and the authority granted is similar to that conferred on drainage districts In this state. The appropriation for printing the two constitutional amendments Is to correct an oversight of the regular ses sion. Equal suffragists had announced their intention to raise funds to pay for the advertising or the amendment by popular subscription. The appro priation for printing for the Account ancy Board is also to fill an omission in the laws of the regular session. More Work for Probe Committee. Investigation of any charges that may be filed against members of Uie 1909 Leg islature is to be undertaken by the House committe appointed to probe into the charges preferred aga.nst the Supreme Court by Herbert N. De Wolfe, of Ta coma. , This added duty was proposed in a resolution by Representative Webster, of King County, introduced today. The resolution was attacked by Scott, of Adams, but Palmer, of King, replied that when the subject of Investigation was before the regular session Scott and others who favored it had declared that no honest man need fear an investiga tion. Palmer said he insisted on a clean sweep now that the matter had gone so far. The resolution carried. It Is understood that thr o- i likely to be forthcoming against some of the members in connection with the pas sage of a measure by the last Legislature creating a Board of Nurse Examiners and Known as the "Nurses' Trust Bill " Carlyon s resolution for the appointment of ten muck-raking committees is still in the hands of a special House commit'ee The Senate has recorded itself as opl posed to the repeal of the exemption of Supreme Judges from the workings of the direct primary law. Bryan's bill re pealing the action of the regular session was attacked by Graves, of Spokane, when it came up for final passage today. He declared that to ask the Judge to make a baby kissing campaign was de grading to the office; that the candidate who advertised would win under the pri mary law and that it would be impossible now to pack a convention, although it used to be done. The bill failed to pass 18 ayes. 24 noes. The same bill, it Is understood, will be Introduced in the House tomorrow. END SESSION TODAY Oregon Teachers Complete Class. Work at Albany.

Debating League Has Meeting. In connection with the convention the State High School -Debating League, which has conducted two successful an nual series of debates among the high schools of Oregon.-held its annual meet ing here today. A. M. Sanders, super intendent of the Albany public schools, was elected president of the league Und Professor E. E. DeCou. of the Uni versity of Oregon, of Eugene, was re elected secretary-treasurer. W. c. Bry ant, of Moro. County School Superin tendent of Sherman County, and E. B Conklin, superintendent of the public schools of Ontario, were elected mem bers of the executive committee, the hold-over member of the committee be ing State Superintendent of Public In struction Ackerman, of Salem; Presi dent Campbell, of the University of Ore gon, of Eugene: and Miss Cornelia Mar vin, of Salem, secretary of the State Library Commission. President Sanders and Secretary DeCou are also members of the committee. The league changed the system of debates heretofore in vogue and adopt ed the triangular system of debates followed by the universities of the country. Under this system each high school will hereafter have two teams. An arrangement was also made where by small schools can combine, two or three together, and put teams in the field on the same basis as one larger school. No school with more than 25 high school pupils can combine with any other for this purpose nor can more than 75 high , school pupils be repre sented in such a combination of small schools. This will give the country high schools of the state a better chance to compete in the debating schedules. Monmouth Alumni in Reunion. There was a large representation of the high schools of the state at the meeting and there was an enthusiastic discussion of league affairs. Questions for discussion in the series of dehat. of the next school year were considered. STEAMER , BURNS AT DOCK Craft Valued at $100,000 Near Total Loss at Stockton, Cal. STOCKTON. Cal.. July 1. The steamer Isleton, of the California Transportation Company, valued at $100,000. burned to the water's edge at her dock here early to day. The entire cargo had been removed before the fire started. There was no insurance on the vessel. The fire started in the after hold, where it could not be got at, owing to its loca tion and the dense smoke. The city fire men, working heroically, managed to keep the flames away from the oil tanks containing 5000 gallons of crfide oil. The upper works of the boat are burned away and the machinery is ruined. The hull Is also believed to be badly damaged. mougn rne boat is still floating. OPERATION HER ONLY HANCE WasCured by LydiaE.Pink ham'sVegetable Compound Adrian, Ga. "I suffered untold misery from a female weakness and disease, and I could not stand more than a minute at a time. My doctor said an operation was the only chance I had, and I dreaded it almost as much as death. One day I was reading how other women had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound, and decided to trv it. Before I had taken one bottle I was better, and now I am completely oured." LiEtta V. Henry, Route No. S, Adrian, Ga. Why will women take chances with an operation or drag out a sickly, half-hearted existence, missing three fourths of the joy of living, when they can find health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? For thirty years it has been the standard remedy for female ills, and ha3 cured thousands of women who hare been troubled with such ail ments as displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irresrulari- ties, periodic pains, backache, indiges- tion, ana nervous prostration.

It is bo clean that Mr. Drew, his managers or somebody must have used pearline or gold dust, pos sibly wool soap in cleansing the play. (Sunday schools and lecture course please write). That's one reason why I like "Jack Straw." John Drew hasn't deteriorated In the least, nor has he improved. He is the same now, tomorrow and always, if not quite a thing of beauty, certainly a joy forever. With his unequaled insouciant poise he never falls to please his auditors and to Interest them mildly. This year he has a much better vehicle than last and I'm quite sure no one will go away from the theater feeling otherwise than that he has had a fill of entertainment. The marvel of John Drew is his perennial youthfulness. The earth may pass away and the heavens be rolled up as a scroll. Mount Hood may shrivel into a mole-hill, the Wright brothers may make a success ful American flight and the youngest of us may pass on to gravestone elegies, but still will John Drew flourish and flourishing will play youthful heroes and play them well, forever and forever. W. Somerset Maugham has come out of it in "Jack Straw" and written a really bright play without disclosing his na tionality by indulging over much in puns one reason why Germany should whip England or flagrantly epigrammatic epi grams. For this relief much thanks after canned ha-has we were fed in a play of recent production by Mr. Drew's cap tivating niece. In fact Somerset Maug ham's stock may , today be quoted by local bucket-shops as "steady to strong." I'll never attempt to tell you the story of "Jack Straw" except to recommend It as a most pleasant light comedy of society in which the nouveau rich and those to the manner born clash amusing ly. There aren't any overpowering mo ments, but through it all one's interest is held and the purpose of John Drew is made plain. Sharing almost equal honors with the star is that paragon of uncertain-aged actresses. Rose Coghlan. who docs some of her finest work as the vulgar, over dressed, overfed and over-financed Mrs. Parker Jennings. 20th century Mrs. Mala prop and familiar to us all who know people who made their money the day before yesterday. She's a joy and is really on a joint starring tour with Mr. Drew, although probably neither of them would say as much. Mary Boland. a beautiful woman who is much admired here and who can also incidentally act with capability, has a pretty part and does it beautifully. The remaining mem bers of the support fit into the scheme of things admirably and you'll not be jarred once by thein. As might be ex pected, the scenerizing and dressing of the play are well-nigh perfect. It Is also a matter worthy of note that Mr. Drew wears a coat in whioh the side pockets are cut on the bias. This should mean that the ready-made clothing business should Immediately look up and that cigar stand Beau Brummels should be lent aid and comfort. Airy persiflage aside. I feel entirj'.y warranted in recommending "Jack Straw" for your approval. It is a mighty pretty and satisfying comedy, well acted. It will be repeated tomor row and Saturday nights, with a Satur day matinee. , Benson to Attend Oregon Say. SALEM. Or.. July 1. (Special.)
