Jan. a -Senators In terested In getting to work on appropria tion bill that have passed the House are beginning to fear that consideration or the Loiimer case may prevent them irom giving the budget measures the careful study tha bills merit. Indications are that the Lorlmer case ir.ay consume a major portion of all the lime that remains of the present session. Klther Senator Beveridgs or Senator Owen will speak tomorrow In opposition to Senator Lorlmer being permitted to retain nls seat. w hichever speaks, an attack will be made upon the findings of the committee on privileges and elections, exonerating the Senator on the charges of bribery tiled In connection with his election. This is expected to precipitate a controversy tha Senate will have to decide, for or aaslnst Mr. Lorlmer. As the question is one of highest privilege, it can be brought up. even to the exclusion of appropria tion cms. Dwlght'a Efforts Continue. Representative Dwlght. the Republican wnip or the House, this week will con tinue his efforts to keep a Republican majority constantly In the chamber. He la trying to carry out his promises to President Taft that a legislative pro gramme will be enacted that will prove satisfactory to the Administration. Members fear that even if the House crowds Administration measures through. tiiey will stand little prospect of enact ment by the Senate, because of the L ri mer contest. There aeems little prospect of any de cision by Congress between the majority and the minority of the committee whlcb Investigated the Balllnger-Plnchot case, (tccaslonally. some one suggests that the House vote on the question, but nothing whatever Is heard of the reports of the Senate. In both branches It Is manifest that most of the member are Inclined to forget the controversy. Peary's CLalm Interests. The.

Repre sentative Macon, of Arkansas. Is the leader of the opposition thus to, honor Captain Peary. vv hether the Senate committee on Ju diciary will adopt the report of the sub committee whhu recommended a con stitutional amendment for the election of Senators by direct rote depends largely upon the fate of the Depew amendment, which would allow Congress to make reg ulations governing primaries In connec tion with Senatorial contests. Southern Senators see. In it an attempt to vitiate the lawa In several states dis franchising negro voter. The sentiment Is believed to be against the Depew amendment, but If It falls In the com mittee. It probably will be offered In the 1 Senate.

Miss Helen Cannon, daughter of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, whose lllnesw caused the abandonment of the Speaker's customary New Year's re ception. Is gradually recovering. She was attacked by a severe cold early In the seaaon and the weather has been such since that she has suffered tem porary relapse, but soon expects to re turn to Washington and assume charge of her fathers' house In the capital. Miss Cannon laughs at the Washington story to the effect that a grateful woman n Bombay, India, had left fiSW.OOO with a firm of lawyers there for her father 'n return for some trifling kindness he showed her many years ago. The story ran that this woman had made Speaker Cannon sole heir to her estate, after be ing Informed by physicians that she could not live longer than six months. . Father has received many jokes of this nature," said Miss Cannon. "Some of them were the most barefaced fraudu lent schemes, requiring that he forward money to rrrwra the clam. much on the order of the threadoare a'.i Spanisn daughter-Immured-ln-a -dungeon swindle, but he has never paid any attention to them beyond turning them over to the ' E.

There are 240 acres In English peppermint and 36 acres of the American variety, but I am cutting; out the American, because It does not grow so luxuriantly and Is not nearly as strong as the English.

MARYLAND IX) VERS NOT XOW THOCGIIT SUICIDES. State Attorney Starts Thorough In vestigation Into Mysterious Deaths of Young Couple. CUMBERLAND. Md.. Jan. 8. (Spe cial.) Certain that double murder, not suicide, ended In tragedy the romance of Charles E. Twigg aqd Grace Elosser, who were found dead at the girl's home a week ago yesterday, the staff of the State Attorney has started a close sur veillance of the dead girl's family. Four, possibly five, suspects have been brought Into the net of circum stances surrounding the mysterious deaths, but the police refuse to divulge their names. An arrest, or at least a "thlrd-de- Senate to order at noon tomorrow, aa M. E. Hay, elected Lieutenant-Governor. Is now Governor. But It Is understood that the courtesy will be extended to A. S. Ruth, Thurston, who will an nounce the caucus choice and turn the- sravel over to Paulhamus. At a caucus of the House tonight Tavlor was elected as -the choice for speaker; Lorcn Grinsted, King, was se lected as chief cleric, and Joe Wilson Pierce, for serireant-at-arms. George E. Dickson, Kittitas. called the caucus to order and Hugh Todd, Democrat, Whitman, was selected as secretary. In the House there was no attempt to defeat Representative Tay lor, although earlier. In the day some of the eastside members tried to or ganize behind E. E. Halsey, Asotin, but he refused to allow his name to be considered. Efforts to get- R. E. Buchanan, Spokane, to be the east-side choice likewise failed and shortly after that rumor was afloat, the Spokane delegation called on the caucus choice and told him there would be ten Spo kane votes for him. At the caucus unanimous votes were cast for all can dldates, there' being no other nomina tions. The patronage of the House will be disposed of by a committee on patron age which will ha named by the Speaker after he calls the House . to order at noon tomorrow and the er ganizatlon Is completed. In the matter of the United States Senatorshlp the Legislature has only to ratify the action of the Republican state primary, which chose Miles Poln dexter of Spokane, now Representative In Congress, for the Senate term be ginning March J. his plurality being 42,000. Republican Majority 1C1. The Republican majority on joint ballot Is 121. The roost Important mat ters to come before the Legislature are the construction of the Congres sional districts, this state having gained two members under the new census; a law to establish the Inula tlve and referendum on state laws and the recall for atate officers; meas ures affecting the liquor traffic, and an employers liability law, The Anti-Saloon League la fighting for legislation further restricting the saloons and the liquor dealers are sat lsfied to let the present laws stand There Is nothing In sight which prom ises anything sensational in the com ing session. The proportion of old members Is very large and experienced bands will be in charge from the start. Governor Hay, President-to-be Paul hamus of the Senate, and Taylor have come out openly in favor of economy during the session, and In all probabll lty the programme outlined by Senator Paulhamus for two budgets will be adopted. Two Budgets Favored. Paulhamus says that with practically every county In the state having x a state Institution of some kind or other that he Is In favor of two budgets. The first will cover tne needs of the state Institutions and state depart ments, these . to be reported back in 30 days and put out of the way so as to prevent log-rolling. In the second budget he would in clude such things as the Columbia River Improvement, the Puyallup. Stuck ized labor is to fight or support the employes' compensation bill which will be Introduced at the coming session. He says that the labor convention to be held In Olympia shortly will decide that and he declined to discuss the action taken by the Brotherhood of Trainmen, who have announced that they will fight tha bill because of the fact that It provides a maximum death benefit; because It does not take into consideration an Injured workman's earning capacity and because they think the scale of assessment for rail roads, mills and factories is .too low compared with the plants where the hazard Is less. President Case states, however, that the labor unions do want an eight-hour law for women; the in ltiative, referendum and recall and the nomination of Supreme Court Judges pyt back in thedirect primary. Boyd P. Doty, who Is also on the scene, declat-es that the liquor question will be Injected Into the coming session; that a county unit bill will be passed; that the measure will provide for the prohibiting of the manufacture of intoxicants In dry territory and will have plenty of "teeth." C. B. Yandell. secretary of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, is in Olympia and he Is rumored to be" at the head of the movement to have the Washington Leg islature Indorse San Francisco as Its choice for the holding of the Panama Exposition. It was announced late tonight that F. A. Jackson, of King, is to be chair man of the Senate reapportionment committee In the Senate, and James Cameron, of Pierce, will head the same committee in the House. King and Pierce Counties expect to control the reapportionment bill put through. MS r i HAY MAKING FEW CHAXGES Administration of State Institutions Left Undisturbed. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Jan. V (Special. When the names of the appointees of Governor Hay are sent to the state Sen ate for confirmation it will be found that he probably has made a record as Governor, In that there have been fewer changes since he assumed office than have been made by any other Governor. Slues he- took office Ortis Hamilton, Adjutant-General of the National Guard, J. M. Snow, State Highway Commission er, and F. A. Clark, State Oil Inspector, have been removed "for cause," as also were Harry E. Gilhara, of the Board of Control, and James W. McArthur, of the State Board of Pharmacy. The names to be submitted by the Gov ernor for confirmation by the Senate in clude Jesse. Jones, of the Railroad Com mission; J. E. Frost, of the State Tax Commission; A. E.

Tozier, of Everett, State Oil Inspector; and Thomas A. Parrish, of Seattle, State Tax Commissioner. Since Governor Hay assumed his duties there has not been a single change at the state institutions. There have been few changes in the commissions, aside from shifting about. A. E. Cagwln was changed from the State Tax Commission to the State Board of Control when Eu gene Lorton resigned, and E. D. Cowen replaced Harry Gilham. Colonel Cagwln was appointed to the Tax Commission to succeed Joseph Easterday, resigned, and Colonel Cagwin was replaced by Thomas A. Parrish, of Seattle. So far as known there will be no opposition to any of tnese men. LINDSEY TALKS TONIGHT Denver's Juvenile Judge Expected to Draw Crowd. So much Interest is taken in Port land in Juvenile reform work that the Armory probably will be filled tonight to hear Judge Ben Llndsey, of Denver, speak. The address Is the third number of the Alumnae entertainment course for the season. Judge Llndsey is proving to be the most popular of the speakers and It was necessary to engage the Armory because of the Interest taken In "the boys friend and his methods of reformation. Since Judge Llndsey established his Juvenile Court in Denver, the move ment has spread to all parts of the United States, until children, who have been unfortunate and come Into the Jurisdiction of the courts, are no longer given the status of criminals but are segregated and taught to view- life in a new way. xnere is mucn interest In the man who established and spread such re form doctrines, and citizens of Port land want to hear him speak and come In personal touch with him. if m S T S t 1 w T'JI hi .i fit 'Hi ; txtimmx I'll ' 1? - i; ; 'MM 4 Mi ixWif mil ( remarkable sale of suite $42.50 and $50 Man-tailored Suits Clearance $25.00 It is well worth while for a woman to make a special trip early Monday morning to' see these elegant suits.

ORIENT IS APPLE MARKET Oregon Can PIpoe of Prod net. Saya Globe-Trotter. "The apple market In the Orient, and Australia has not been touched," said gree" examination, of one of the per sons mentioned in the mystery, will be the order tomorrow. Miss Klosser's family stick to the Idea that Twigg brought the poison with him from Keyser. that heiave it to the girl he was to have married the next evening, and that he hid this be cause he was tired of life. This theory Is scouted by those who know the man. Stories, however, accumulate regard ing Twlgg. He seems to have been quite a ladles' man. There are many girls here to whom he was friendly. They are not talking openly of course. But there are circumstances that may lead to further Investigation of a vital character. One theory that nlght prove the deaths an accident was- divulged yes terday. The poison, definitely fixed as hydrocyanic acid, a 2 per cent solution of cyanide of potassium, such as jewel ers use. some of the hundreds of theor ists said, might have been left on the ring, but there seems to be nothing to this theory, owing to the fact that young Twlgg bought the ring right out of st,ock. He did not know the size and arranged with the Jeweler to re turn in the evening with Miss Elosser and make an exchange. Miss May Klosser. sister of the dead girl, has declared that Twlgg poisoned her sister and then killed himself. It was through May that Twigg became acquainted with his sweetheart, and the police are busy ascribing Jealousy to the surviving sister. The girl knows of the gossip but denies It all. and the mystery still remains unraveled. Judge Llndsey, Armory, tonight. ern Washington r air at Cliehalls and Centralla, and all other such appropria tions including the armories to be asked for by 'Aberdeen, Walla Walla, Everett and North Yakima. These bills, he says, ought to be con. sldered on their merits, and that the men who come from counties where state institutions are located should not be held up and forced to vote for improper measures in' order that what are known as "local grafts" can be put through. Senator Paulhamus is also In favor of cutting down the number of employes In the Senate and putting the matter entirely in the hands of the secretary, who will be authorized to hire competent help. He Is to have seven clerks and nine stenographers. and more if he needs them. Hay Has High Hopes. Governor Hay is outspoken In favor of economy, and lie declares that he believes this Legislature will put through more progressive and construc tive legislation than any other body that has assembled In Olympia. Predictions are made that the 1911 session of the Legislature will estab lish a precedent In giving plenty of time to the consideration of the big propositions which are to -be disposed of at this time. The feeling Is that matters such as the employers' com pensation act. the public utilities bill. the new water code and the new In surance code, and the report of the ; investigating committe should not be hampered In any way by fights on other questions. Thero is also a sen timent in favor of squelching freak bills of all kinds. He would like to see this Legislature make a record in that respect. Speaker Taylor is also In favor of economy and the elimination of the snap jobs in the House. He wants com petent men in every position, and Is In favor of paying them good salaries, but not excessive money. Although the legislators have been coming Into Olympia for the past two days, there is no sign of bitterness on any hand. Governor Hay states that he believes that It will be eliminated at this session, and In this respect p re session talk would Indicate . that he is correct. The Speakership and presi dency fights have been settled. There is a striking sentiment toward letting the present local option bill alone. Usually the Governor s message Id read on Wednesday of the opening week. This year It probably will go to the Legis lature late Tuesday afternoon. Tonight saw the last of the members of the House and-Senate arrive in Olympia and while there are the usual number of lobbyists on hand most of them are keeping under cover. The anti-saloon league representatives and the labor organisations' leaders arrived just In time to attend the caucuses of the two bodies. Charles R.

EXPERT EYEMAKER COMING TO PORTLAND Only Twenty of These Experts in the Entire World. The art of making artificial human eyes is only known to a few, as the industry and the secret of blowing the porcelain has been hand 'ed down for generations from father to son In Germany, where tlie best eyes are manufactured. As one person out of every five hun dred has had the misfortune to lose an eye It is an easy matter of figures to tell that there are something like five hundred worn In a city the size of Portland. What is termed an ordinary stock eye scan be purchased from almost any optician or surgical supply house In the country, but when it eom?s to having an eye made to order, an exact duplicate of the natural orb, it is seldom one has the oppor tunity unless wealthy enough to make a trip to Europe, where all artificial eyes are made. Through the enterprise of the Columbian Optical Co., in The Ore gontan building, with Its chain of some ten stores throughout the United States, Mr. Floyd F. Brower, the local manager. Is pleased to announce that arrangements have been consummated whereby the people of Portland will have the rare chance to have a perfect eye made to order, almost while they wait. One of the best experts in the world will be actually making these delicate eves at the office of the Columbian Optical Co., No. 133 Sixth t.. In a little over a month from now, the exact dates being February lsth. 17th, 18th and 19th. As only a limited number can be made during his short stay in Portland, it will be well for those Interested to make their ap pointments early, as the orders for eyes will b,e taken in turn as they are registered. An absolute match of nature's own organ is guaran teed in every case, and wise patients will not only take advantage of this opportunity of having an eye made to order, but will undoubtedly order several, as the chance to do so may never come again.
