OT-YMPrA. Wash.. July l.-(Staff Cor
respondence.) Before the Washington
Senate, sitting for the first time in the
history of the state as a court of im
peachment, J. H. 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

resolution, continuing the present' com
mittee ajid requiring it to report April
1. 1910. to the, Governor, was called up
In the House this morning, where filibus
tering tactic held It over from yeste
day. 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.

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.

Isleton, of the California Transportation
Company, valued at $100,000. burned to the
water's edge at her dock here early to

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

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.

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.

table Compound,
and decided to trv
it. Before I had taken one bottle I
was better, and now I am completely

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-

a line or an expression that the most
perfect lady, male or female, could strain
into salaclousness. 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. ,
