HOUSE DECEIVES
FLOOD OF BILLS
Opponents of Primary Nomi
nation of Judges Engage in
Filibuster.
RETURN TO COMMITTEE-
tffort Is Made to Amend Present
Marriage Examination Law and
Anti-Cigarette Law Guard
Asks for More Money.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. Aug. (Staff
Correspondence.) By filibustering, the
enemies in the House of the bill re
storing the nomination of Supreme
Judges to the direct primary method
prevented action today by that body on
the measure.
The bill came before the House this
afternoon with a report favoring its
passage, signed by four of the nine
members of the committee on privileges
and elections. Representative Lambert,
of Whatcom, a member of the commit
tee, insisted that the bill was not prop
erly reported, because at the commit
tee meeting- only four were present, or
less than a quorum, and that he de
clined to sign the report. One member
not present at the meeting; had later
signed the report. '
After a long parliamentary tangle.
Ward, of Kitsap, speaker pro tern
sustained the objection, and the bill
went back to the committee- The
friends of the bill, however, succeeded
in securing the appointment of three
members to take the places of three on
1 the committee who had been perma
nently excused, and the committee was
Instructed to report tomorrow.
Flood of Bills In House.
The House received a flood of IS bills
this afternoon, several of which will
come up in the House tomorrow with
out committee action, under a suspen
sion of the rules. One of these, by
Ohent. of King, amends the present
anti-cigarette law so that It applies
only to the sale to or possession by
minors.
Another bill, by Ghent, to come up to
morrow, amends the much-discussed
Edge marriage law, so that the present
inhibitions against the wedding of per-,
sons afflicted by certain diseases is re
tained, but affidavits as to good health
are accepted in lieu of physicians" cer
tificates. Another cigarette bill, by Byerly of
Cowlitx. will also bo considered tomor
row. This bill restores the law to its
from before the passage of the criminal
code. It will prohibit the possession or
manufacture of cigarettes for purposes
of sale-, but will exempt Jobbers doing an
interstate business.
Primary Bill Appears.
The -expected bill amending the primary
law so that the nominations for candi
dates to be voted on In special elections
to fill Congressional vacancies shall be
nominated by special primary elections
was Introduced in the House by Bell of
Pierce. The btll went to committee.
Among other bills was one which
amends the criminal code so that saloon
screens are permitted except on days
when saloons are required by law to re
main closed; a bill requiring street and
electric cars to be heated, and one pro
hibiting the intermarriage of whites with
negroes or Mongolians.
In the Senate today Potts of King in
troduced a bill appropriating J36.SSO for
the maintenance of the National Guard.
3enator Potts explained that Ortis Ham
ilton, the former Adjutant-General, in
arder to get through his deficiency bill,
had cut the maintenance estimate below
the sum actually necessary. National
Suard officials were quoted as saying
that the Guard could not be maintained
jn ther 160,000 appropriated by the regular
session.
MORE TESTIMONY HEARD
(Continued from first page.)
ager of the company's Pacific Coast de
partment, was also submitted.
Then taking up article 4. the state pre
sented a deposition from George Graham,
Jr.. of Denver, an official of the Capital
Life Insurance Company, alleging that
in February, 1907. this company paid
Schively Z1d, of which 20 was for "veri
fication of report." Mr. Graham made
affidavit that Schively did not make an
examination of the company's assets.
Schlvely's receipts for the money and a
letter demanding the payment were ex
hibited in evidence.
J. S. Lichty, treasurer of the -Farmers'
Mutual Livestock Insurance Company of
Spokane, was the first witness called to
the stand. Mr. Lichty said that the only
times Schively came to their offices was
to collect $100 and $150 to pprmit the com
pany to continue doing business. The
witness swore that Schively never pre
sented any detailed statement of expenses
and was in the office the first time about
one-half hour. Mr. Lichty estimated the
expenses of Schively's trip to Spokane
from Olympia at $30.
"On October 9. lftos." testified Mr. Lich
ty, "Schively and fcV. E. Liggett. Insur
ance Commissioner for Idaho, came to
the office and received $: for an ex
amination' that never took place. Schive
ly." said Mr. Lichty. "requested that the
check be made out to Liggett, saying
that it would be divided equally. They
were in the office about 16 minutes," said
the witness.
Israel Wants Verification.
On crrs-examination Schively's coun
sel brought out that this company is now
in the hands of a receiver. Mr. Lichty
was asked if there was not a stenog
rapher present during the Interviews, and
if entries were not made in the company's)
books in a woman's handwriting. Mr.
Lichty replied in lha negative, and Mr.
Ivrael asked for a subpena for Charles,
St. Morris, and an order for the com
pany's policy records and cash books, for
the purpose of testing the credibility of
witness Lichty.
The charge of extorting each for
two perfunctory examinations of the
Walla Walla Fire Insurance Company was
supported by the evidence of O. G. Par
ker, treasurer,' and Dorsey M. Hill, re
ceiver of the company. Mr. Parker testi
fied that Schively on April IS. 1907. spent
about three hoirs on the company's books
and charged $3W for it. and that on July
of the same year he made another ex
amination and received an additional
for neither of which examinations
detailed statement of expenses were sub
mitted. Receiver Hill exhlblvd check
book stubs and caehbook entries showing
the payment of the money. He estimated
that S'i would be ample to cover the ex
penses of each trip to Walla Walla from
Olympia.
It is expected that the state will take
up the Spokane perjury charge tomorrow,
which Is one of two dealing with alleged
misconduct committed since Schively be
came a state officer. The testimony to
day dealt with his conduct as a deputy.
It Is expected that later on in the trial
Schively's counsel will raise the point
that a state officer cannot be impeached
for acts committed while a deputy. The
respondent will also vigorously combat
any attempt by the impeachment man
agers to bring In amended articles to take
the place of those withdrawn. The House
will be asked probably tomorrow to adopt
amended articles, but whether they will
be presented before the Impeachment
court is a matter for future consideration.
The Senators who were absent on roll
call this morning were nearly all mem
bers who were here Saturday night. Eight
of the 11 absentees of Saturday hastened
back to the city Sunday night, when they
learned the effect of their absence, but
there were still 11 absent this morning.
Members who remained here were not
sparing in their condemnation of the new
set of absentees, and took action by
adopting a resolution offered by Piper of
King, declaring absence without leave
contemDt of the imDeachment court, and
1 punishable by a fine of from 5 to 125.
ASK INQUISITORS DISCHARGE
Representative French Thinks Hal
sey Committee a Luxury.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 16. (Spe
cial.) Representative E. L. French, be
fore Iea.ving for Olympia this morning,
said that he intended at the first oppor
tunity to Introduce a resolution in the
lower House of the State Legislature pro
viding for the discharge of the (Halsey)
committee which has been investigating
charges made against the members of the

pay is $5 a day. They, drew this extra
$2.50 a day during the entire recent re
cess of the special Legislature.
GIRL'S FATHER ELUDED
YOUXG HOQCIAM COUPLE RUN
AWAY; LAND IX JAIL.
Man Aged 21 and Girl Aged 13
Taken by Portland Police After
Romantic Elopement.
Edward Malloy, aged 21, eloped from
Hoquiam last night with Edith Thorpe,
the 15-year-old daughter of a Hoquiam
pioneer. In Centralia they met the
girl's father, but she told him she was
going to Chehalls to visit relatives, and
he suspected nothing. When he ar
rived home at 9 o'clock it came over
him in a flash what his daughter had
done, and the Portland police were noti
fied to watch for the couple and to take
them Into custody.
Mr. Thorpe is furious at what has
occurred, and Is said to have promised
relentless prosecution of the young
man.
Malloy and the girl were arrested as
they alighted from the train at the Union
Dept by Detectives Hyde and Craddock
upon a telegram from Chief of Police
Oliver, of Hoquiam.
When taken to police headquarters the
couple displayed a deep affection for each
other. Turning to the officers, Malloy
said:
"Gee. fellows, it's hard to be put in
Jail for being in love." The dark-eyed
miss who is directly responsible for the
wrath of her father and the activity of
the police, mournfully scanned her lover
end said:
"It makes no difference what they do
with ue, Eddie, I will love you Just the
same." She was placed In the care of
Police Matron Simmons, who escorted her
to the woman's ward. Malloy gazed wist
fully after the matron and her charge
and sighed:
"It's hard to see that poor girl go to
Jail. I am much older and should know
better." In a conversation relative to
their romantic courtship, extending over
six months, the young man told his sym
pathetic listeners: "I worked in a mill in
Hoquiam. I boarded with my brother,
directly across the street from the girl's
home. We saw a great deal of each
other. Her father or any of her family
have never displayed any dislike for me.
We loved each other from the first. Yes,
we talked of getting married. I thought
I could better myself and was coming
to Portland to find work. When I was
leaving the girl came to bid me good
ble. Well, you know how It is it was
hard for me to leave her behind and she
knew it. That is why she is here."
Malloy evinced no perturbation when
apprised of the fact that the girl's father
threatened to prosecute him for his action.
"I'm sorry her father feels that way
about it. Why can't he let me have the
girl. I never did a thing in my life I am
ashamed of or sorry for. Of course, he
can make trouble, but what good will it
do him? Sure, I'll go back and face them
all. I have nothing to fear."
The pair will be returned to Hoquiam
today.
NO KIMONOS ON STREETS
Women Who Appear In Negligee at
San Diego Will Be Arrested.
SAN DIEGO. Cal., Aug. 1. (Special.)
An order issued today by the Police De
partment forbids women appearing on the
street with kimonos. The housewife who
in case of an emergency slips down to
the corner drugstore for medicine or
makes a huoxled- trip to the corner gro
cery store must dress properly for the
occasion. Otherwise, she must be able to
dodge a policeman.
The order comes about through the ef
forts of the police to control the denizens
of the "red light" district, although no
distinction is made In the new law. Re
spectable women, however, who prefer
kimonos to any other costume In this hot
weather, are highly Indignant.

DECIDES ON SUTTON
Court of Inquiry Keeps Its
Findings Secret.
OFFICERS TO BE CLEARED
Belief General In Xavy Is That
Court Holds Sutton Shot Him
self While Trying to Shoot
One of Other Officers.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Aug. 16. The Sut
ton court of inquiry closed today after
two secret sessions, during which the
testimony relative to the death of Lieu
tenant James N. Sutton, Jr., was gone
over thoroughly. The findings were
reached and signed tonight. What they
are the members of the court refused
to say, as they will be reviewed by the
Navy Department at Washington before
being made public.
While those who sat in the case were
sworn to secrecy and the findings of
the court are not known, the consensus
of opinion in naval circles, including
the views of old officers who have
served on courts-martial, is that it will
be found that Sutton died by his own
hand, and by accident, and that he
shot himself while trying to shoot an
other. It is also thought that all of the offi
cers who have appeared in the case will
be exonerated. While it is possible
that charges might be preferred against
them, no attention will be paid to them,
owing to the breaches of discipline
having occurred two years ago.

is being taken advantage of by many who never heretofore even dreamed of being able to own a good,
