PHOT IK SGHVELY SCORES RAKER'S SHIT j Senate Sustains De murrer to Article 1. 14 OTHER COUNTS MAY FALL Presby's Ruling Upheld by Vote of 21 to 18. CHARGES NOT SPECIFIC Hons Slay File Amended Complaint but Tliis Point Xot Definitely Set tledWay Now Open for Weeks of Arguments. OLTMPIA. Wash., Aug. IS. (Staff Cor reapondence.) Technical objections to the wording of the first article of the Im peachment charges against J. H. Schlve 1 Insurance Commissioner, won over a majority of the Senate today, and a de murrer to the article was sustained by a vote of 21 to 18. With Article 1. 1! and possibly 14 other counts In the Indictment are likely to fall, as the wording in the other Is so similar to that of Article 1 that there is good ground for believing the Senate will sustain demurrers to them also. If action goes that far, thus will one half of the 2S counts In the Impeach ment articles fail unless It shall be ruled that the House has the right to present amended articles covering the same charges and decides to do so. The House In preferring Impeachment charges re served to Itself the right to amend them at any time, but the Board of Impeach ment managers has reached the conclu sion and has so announced that the House has not the power to delegate the amending power to the board. It must adopt amended articles as a House or not at all. Extended Arguments Expected. The House has adjourned until Monday afternoon and If" amended articles' are filed, such action cannot be accomplished before Tuesday at the earliest. In the meantime the Senate will listen to arguments on the demurrers to the other articles, and the way seems open for expending probably a week In argu ment before the taking of testimony can be commenced. If a dozen new articles are formulated, then new demurrers and further extended arguments are to be ex pected, leading no one knows to what length of time. It Is conjectured that Bchtvely's attor ney will not resist any assumption by the House of authority to amend the articles, by adding new charges, but will resist amendments making more specific charges than are In the original articles. Collections Xot In Excess. Beginning late yesterday afternoon the arguments on Article 1 were extended during the greater part of today, L. O. Meigs, of the Impeachment Board, and Attorney-General Bell replying at length to Bchlrely's attorney, George C. Israel. The article stricken charges that In 1905 Bchlvely collected from F. J. Martin, or Seattle, the sum of 3235 each tor the ad mission of seven Insurance companies to do business In this state, and that the stats received only 336 for each company. It was the contention of Attorney Israel, which Is undisputed, that the law permits the Insurance Commissioner to collect In addition to the entrance fee of 135 from every company admitted the actual cost of making an examination of Its assets. The objection to the Article 1 was that It did not charge that Schlvely did not make an examination of each of the specified companies, or that the fees col lected were In excess of his actual ex penses if he did make the examination. Charges Xot Definite. It Is practically conceded that under tha rules of procedure In criminal courts an information not more definite In Its statement of facta would not constitute a cause of action. The reply of the Im peachment managers was that the Im peachment court was not a criminal court end that the rules of criminal procedure were not strictly applicable in ruling on Demurrers. Mr. Meigs specified 13 par ticulars in which Impeachment proceed ings differ from procedure In a court at law. The ruling that sustained the de murrer wa first announced by Senator PTesby.' presiding, and thereafter sub mitted without formal appeal to the Sen ate today. In announcing his ruling. Presby declared that the law gave 6chively the right to collect expenses of examination. "The article." said Chairman Presby, "does not allege that he charged $1 more Uian the expense of examination. Preeby Makes Ruling. "It does not allege that he did not examine these companies: It does not allege that, he did not furnish them with an Itemized list of expenditures, as required by law, and I know of no law making It an offense In this state for an officer to collect legal fees in advance.

LONDON, Aug. 13. The Imperial de fense subcommittee which was appointed to investigate the recent criticisms made by Admiral Lord Charles Beresford of the state of the navy, has Issued its re port. It practically exonerates the Ad miralty of Admiral Beresford's charge of having endangered the country by the unwise organization and distribution of the fleet, but it finds that both the Ad miralty and Admiral Beresford ara blameable for the inharmonious co operation. Pro-Beresford papers contend that, as several reforms advocated by Admiral Beresford have been adopted, his agita tion was Justified, while the antl-Beres-ford papers express satisfaction that the navy scare has been exploded.

SLEUTHS EYE EVERY MOVE Laborers Discharged by Twohy Con tractors Grumble at Treatment and Are Demanding Back Em ployment Agent Fees. BY GEORGE PALMER PUTNAM. SHANIKO, Or., Aug. 13. (Special.) There is ample room in the Deschutes canyon for two railroads; further than this, each of the roads could be double tracked as far as topographical conditions are concerned. So Johnson Porter, of ths firm of Porter Bros., declared In an inter view at Shaniko last night. He ridiculed the statements that have been advanced to the effect that at certain points In the canyon the two roads would be forced to run over the same tracks. "Such a statement is absurd," said Mr. Porter. "There Is no place on the entire route where two roads, and double-track roads at that, may not be constructed and very few where such an operation would entail extraordinary difficulty, as railroad building is reckoned today." Twohy Contractor Admits It. After ' this remark, Mr. Porter called upon a Twohy subcontractor, who hap pened to be at the table, for corrobora tion, and the latter, perhaps a trifle un willingly, admitted that as far as con cerned the portions of the canyon he had seen, the statement was entirely correct. When asked If there was anything at present especially active regarding th work, Mr. Porter laughingly exhibited a large size package ,of court summonses, which filled one of his pockets, intimat ing that just now the lawyers are the busiest railroad builders. 1 Building Wagon Roads Only. Construction activity is confined, for the most part, at least as regards the Porter camps they alone now being at work in this vicinity to the construc tion of a wagon road closely following the river on tlie west side, beginning at a point slightly north of the HU1 ranch and extending some 60 miles up river.
