Mrs. Edwards said that Wetxler had been drinking and had made several tti rests to end his life. She pleaded with him not to carry his revolver, for fear ho would lose control of himself. Mrs. Edwarda had Just left him at his room and was returning to her own apartment at the other end of ths hall when she heard ths report of the revolver. She was the flrst one to reach the door, but she hesitated to go In. Mr. Peebler entered and found Wetx ler with his revolver tightly clasped in his right hand.

AMBROSE BREAKS RANKS Multnomah Member. Says TJiat 8 From His County Will Join in ' Movement to Wrest Privi lege From Speaker. K Unless Speaker Rusk and Representa tive Thompson hold their forces Intact, Insurgent forces in the House, led by Representative Eaton, defeated " candi date for Speaker, will elect the 43 standing committees from tho floor of the House next Monday. In fact, it Is doubtful if the Rusk-Thompson people can hold their men together. The first serious break In their ranks came yesterday when Representatlvs Ambrose, of tle Multnomah delegation, bolted and announced that he proposed uniting with the Eaton forces in their determination to . deprive ifpeaker Ruait of the appointment of the committee. Ambrose said yesterday that ho was not alone In taking this position and' ex plained that eight other members of the delegation from this county would be found in the lineup with Eaton when the Houso reconvenes Monday. Kca-son for Iesertlon Given. In the organization fight in the House, Ambrose supported Rusk. In explanation of hla present attitude in turning against the man he assisted to elect Speaker, Ambrose expresses dis satisfaction with Rusk's position on the subject of committee organization. It has been frankly charged by Eaton and his colleagues that In considera tion of Thompson's retirement from the Speakership contest and his support of Husk. Rusk conceded to Thompson the naming of most of the House com mittees. "There can be no question that such an understanding exists between Rusk and Thompson," said Mr. Ambrose yes terday. "For one. I do not propose to be a party to carrying out that trans action. I would have no objetclon If Speaker Husk had the untrammeled ap pointment of his committees, but It manifestly is not proper that he should submit to' dictation from Thompson or any other source as to how these com mittees shall be constituted. "I shall co-operate with Representa tive Eaton, in view of the circum stances, and assist In having the com mittees elected by the members of the House from the floor rather than sub mit to the scheme of Rusk and Thomp son to control their appointment." Demand Made on Thompson. Before reaching a decision Mr. Am brose on Wednesday addscssed a letter to Thompson, demanding certain con cessions in the appointment of the com mittees. His letter follows: "With reference to your appoint ments to committees for John P. Rusk, the wrlttr demands the following ap pointments and changes: "First Elimination of Abbott from the ways and means committee. "Second Elimination of Fouts from the revision of laws committee. "Third Chairman of ways and means committee from Multnomah County. "Fourth Chairman of revision of laws committee from Multnomah County. "Fifth Ample provision In the mat ter of appointments for Multnomah delegates. "Sixth The writer reserve the right to Inspect the . list of committees be fore their announcement by the Spesker. "Kindly give me your reply before the noon adjournment."' Replying to the letter, Thompson In formed Ambrose that the committee appointments were up to Rusk, and to Rusk alone: that he (Thompson) had no more Influence In determining the committee selections than had any other Individual member of the House. This response was not at all satisfying to Ambrose, who immediately Joined the Eaton Insurgents. Lively Contest Promised. Strenuous efforts will necessarily have to be employed by Rusk and Thompson If they prevent the Insurgent forces from taking out of the hands of the Speaker the appointment of the 42 standing pommlttees. The maximum strength of the Rusk-Thompson forces probably was demonstrated in the vote on election of Speaker. In that con test. Rusk received 35, while Eaton had 22. If Ambrose Is correct In his esti mate that eight other members of the Multnomah delegation will go with hfm to Eaton tn the present fight, the Rusk-Thompson people will be downed. It Is true that included among these nine votes will be Clemens. Chatten and Cole. In the Speakership fight they supported and voted for Eaton. However, if six other members of the delegation from this county Join the Eaton camp, the Lane County man will have sufficient votes to put through his plan for depriving Speaker Rusk of the appointment of his committees. Unfairness Is Charged. Ambrose further Justified his posi tion by explaining that the proposed formation of the committees by Rusk under Thompson's influence and dicta tion will result unfairly to Multnomah County, notwithstanding the fact that in the organization fight Rusk received the TOte of nine of the 12 Multnomah County Representatives present and voting. Further dissatisfaction among the delegation from this county, as serts Ambrose, has resulted from the appointment of preliminary commit tees 6y Rusk which. Ambrose contends, were rot fair to Multnomah County. He points out that four of the five members of the committee on resolu tions, appointed by Rusk, are Thomp son men Buchanan. Thompson, McKln ney.and Brooke. The rules commit tee, declares Ambrose, consists of Eaton, chairman, and Abbott and Ma honey, the latter two being active supporters of Thompson. A further grievance Is the fact that the committee appointed to employ all stenographers and clerks for the House Is composed largely of anti-Eaton men. the members being McKlnney, Mann, Mahoney. Jones and Smith Of these. Smith is the only member who did not vote for Rusk for Speaker. y In the Senate no effort la being made to deprive President Selling, as presid ing officer, of the privilege of com posing his own committees. While Selling is reticent about their probable personnel. It la more than certain that Bowerman and his supporters will be a- t-ordlnated in the committee mem berships. . Supporters Get Chairmanships. The chairmanships naturally will be distributed among the immediate friends and supporters of Selling;. Bow erman. however, undoubtedly will have a place on Judiciary or revision of laws, although clmirmanshlp of at least one of these committees is sure to go to Malarkey. of Multnomah. Either Albee or Sinnott it Is understood, will get the chairmanship of the ways and means committee. It Is reported that Nottingham, also of Multnomah, has been asked to accept a position on the waya and means committee. Notting ham, however, ha declined to serve on that committee unless Wood, of Wash ington. Is also made a member. In the organization of the Senate, nine members voted for Bowerman for President, although, the name of the Eastern Oregon man was not presented formally for the office. In the assign ment of committee places, however, these men are not expecting much and will be satisfied with whatever Selling may parcel out to them. The Bower man following consists of Senators Abraham. Barrett, of Umatilla: Burgess, Carson, Chase. Lester. Merryman, Par rish and Wood. It Is to be expected that Barrett, of Washington, who de serted the Bowerman forces at the last minute, insuring Selling's election, will receive desirable committee as signments. GRIST OF BILLS IS LIGHTER Reapportionment and Service Cor poration Regulation Will Lead. The number of bills introduced at this session of the Legislature in the House and Senate is short' of the number of measures before the same houses at the corresponding time of the 1909 ses sion. In the House, for example, a total of only 3D bills has appeared, while at the same time two years ago 43 meas ures had been Introduced. A larger showing is made in the Senate, where 36 bills have been offered, as against 26 at the same time In the 1909 ses sion. Most important of the measures to be considered at this session are those providing for a reapportionment of the state into Senatorial and Representa tive districts and the creation of a pub lic service commission. Bills covering either of these subjects have not been offered, but it is understood they are in course of preparation. In his message to the Legislature Mr. Bowerman recommended the dis tricting of the state Into districts equal in number to the membership of the House .and the Senate, one member to each branch of the Legislature to be chosen from the districts so established: It Is not known that the recommenda tions of Mr. Bowerman will be embodied In a bill but. regardless of whether or not they are. it is Incumbent on this Legislature to redlstrlct the state Into Senatorial and Representative districts. This duty Is Imposed on the Legisla ture by a provision of the state con stitution which directs the state's law making body shall so redlstrlct the state following a state or Federal cen sus. Not fewer than twol bills will be of fered on the subject of a public serv ice commission. One will propose such an organization for the control of cor porations in Multnomah County alone. Another will be state-wide in its pro visions. It Is not improbable that a third hill on this subject will appear. The Feeders The men who supply New England with food are the Wholesale Grocers.

Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway in the Railway Exchange building will not take place for sev eral weeks, those quarters are now being used by the Portland force of clerks and officials, the final transfer being completed yesterday. Portland officials of the company point with pride to the fact that near ly all the work in fitting-out their elaborate office was done in this city. The woodwork is of mahogany. All of the decorations are dark. The counters are covered with glass and have marble bases. J. R. Veitch, the district freight agent has a private office apart from the others. Each official has a private desk. A noticeable feature is that the windows are devoid of unnecessary let tering, the well-known trade mark of the road alone appearing on the glass.

Attorneys will today file briefs in a water right suit that was tried in the Circuit Court. An Injunction is asked to restrain one of Davoren's successors in Inter est, Mr. Burcehll, from trespassing on land owned by Clarence Crookshank. In ' 1892 Davoren sold a tract to Crookshank. and in making a deed re served the right to the use of the water from a certain spring. Afterwards Davorert sold the land that he owned and a portion of It finally came into the possession of Burcehll, who cialms the interest in this right reserved by Davoren at that time.

A Tablet Digests a Meal. Trial Pack , age Free. Most people eat most foods without discrimination It matters little what. Few stop to think what that food does for them. This is the first turn on the road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard of the proper choice of foods, rapid eat ing and improper mastication, are the unquestioned causes of all stomach dis orders from the slight ache to the malignant cancer. There Is nothing more revolting than a dyspeptic stomach a very vat for putrefaction, sending forth Its poison throughout the entire system, de pressing the brain, befouling the breath, souring the taste, deadening the mus cles, incapacitating the liver and kid neys for their ' work, debilitating the heart, choking the lungs and clogging the bowels. All of these disagreeable and danger ous conditions are due to the improper digestion of food and the consequent assimilation of poison. What else can be expected? If the food lies In the stomach. If the system is constipated, fermentation is the natural outcome. It shows itself In sour watery ris ings, belchings, heartburn and painful breathing. There is only one way to relieve thiei condition. If the stomacn refuses to digest your food put something Into it that will. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nothing but digestives. They are not a medicine. They work when the stomach will not. Each tablet contains enough pepsin, diastase, golden seal and other di gestive elements to reduce 3000 grains of ordinary food to the proper consis tency for assimilation into tho blood. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are abso lutely pure. There is nothing harmful In them as shown in their endorsement by 40,000 physicians in the United States and Canada. Ask your family physician his opinion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and if he Is honest toward you he will state positively that they will cure your stomach trouble whatever it may be. unless you have waited too long and have allowed your disorder to develop into cancer. Act today and begin to end your suf fering. A free trial package will be sent to your -address upon request. The 50 cent size packages are for sale at your druggist's. F. A.
