to the Legislature directly br the State
Board Inatead of Dr. J. D. Plamondon.
who wu removed from the position of
superintendent of the Eastern Oregon
Hospital this afternoon.
It la expected these recommenda
llona will be made next week. The
State Board. Including Governor Weat
and State Treasurer Kay. accompanied
by Superintendent Stelner of the asy
lum here. Architect Hasletlne of Salem
and Chief Engineer Murphy of the
aaylnm. left tonight for Pendleton,
where, tomorrow, they will go over
the site and make a thorough Investi
gation of the work propoeed to be done.
Mr. Haxletlne has not been retained
by the Board In any way to draw
plana, but accompanies It that he may
give Ideaa aa to recommendations that
may be made in the way of legislation.
The Board, aa expected, refuses to
change the stand taken aeveral weeks
ago. that a auperlntendent for the new
Institution Is not needed until the In
stitution Is practically completed. Im
mediately following the appointment of
Plamondon by Bowerman. State Treas
urer Kay said the appointment was
premature and that the new Board con
sidered auch an appointment unneces
sary. Resignation la Advised.
Monday Mr. Ksy telegraphed Plam
ondon offering him an opportunity to
resign from the office of superintend
ent. The telegram was:
In replr to your favor of the fourth
Instant, assure jroo that nothing ha. oc
rurra to chance 017 iiwe In ih. matter
of the appointment of tho mjprtntendnt.
from thoe. that I tiprrwd to yon and
hnator Barrtt sora. wk. ago. Aa tne
other members of the hoard are of th. same
opinion, tt would appear to me that It would
be edrt.able for you to tender your rests
ration aa auperlntendent at onre. I can
further assure von that In such rase, when
th. board la roedy to All eald position, an
application from you would receive du
consideration.
Nothing was heard from Dr. Plamon
don until Governor West received the
following brief telegram this morning
from Athens. Or.:
Informed you desire mr remoraL If you
will eeeure me position on Kasteru Oreson
Alum staff when Institution Is ready, will
realca. J. D. PLAMONDON.
Plamondon la Kemoved.
The Board refused to give the-aasur
am-e desired that Dr. plamondon would
be retained on the staff and aa It ap
peared evident that plamondon did not
wish to resign, the appointment waa
revoked, the following resolutions be
ing prepared covering It:
Whereea. It would appear from the rec
eMs that th. position of superintendent of
the Eastern Oregon branch aerlum has been
Riled by th. appointment or Dr. J C. Plain,
endoa. of Athena. Or., as such superintend,
cm; and
Whereas, tt would appear that at the pres
ent time th. stat. has a competent atftl
effluent etafr. thoroughly familiar and ac
quainted with neede and requirements of
Insane hoapltala, whli-h are willing to assist
ana advise the board without extra expense
to the state In all matter, pertaining to the
plans and procedure necessary In Ih. con
trurtlon f eald breach asvlum. and pre
liminary to Its active operation: and
Whereas. It would appear that there are
no duties th. performance of which at this
ttme require, th. services of a superin
tendent; therefore, be It
Reeolred. That the said Dr. J. C. Plam
ondon be removed from said position as
superintendent of the Eastern Oregon branch
asylum and that said office be left vacant
until further orders of this board.
Kay Intends Conrtesy.
"I sent my telegram of l-t Monday."
said State Treasurer Kay. "as a courtesy
to Dr. Plamondon In offering him an op
portunity to resign. But he evidently
looked at It In a different light from what I
did. and consequently the Board took
action.
"The Board will have all the responsi
bility of the new Institution on Its shoul
der and believe it la due the Board
- to make legislative recommendations rel
ative to the new asylum. TVe hope to
make as thorough an Inspection of the
site as possible and go orer It for ez
am'natlon In all particulars.
The asylum force at Salem has been
employed for many weeks In making
plan and estimate at the suggestion of
Secretary Benson and other members of
the Board. These experts are much bet
ter qualified than anyone else to deter
mine what should be done for the best
Interests of the new Institution, and we
propose to have their assistance and not
depend upon the Ideas of someone Inex
perienced in this line of professionalism.
"I not'ee that Dr. Plamondon ha made
some suggestions aa to what ahould be
appropriated by the Legislature, but I
have an Idea the Board will pay no at
tention to these suggestions, but rather
will depend more upon the ldr of the
men who have been In the employ of the
state for years 'making a special study
of aeylum methods and aslum build
ings." It Is probable the Board will remain In
Petxlleton for two day at least and pos
sibly until the first of next week.
Secretary Benson' personal representa
tive In the State Capitol say that he Is
thoroughly In accord with the move of
the Board in ousting Plamondon. so th
vote on the question was unanimous.
A bill embodying the same provisions
and carrying th same appropriation
waa Introduced In the House by Rep
resentative McKlnney. of Baker.

Idaho Direct legislative League
Fighting for Oregon Plan, Put
Matter Up to Legislature.
Stormy Session In Senate.
BOISE, Idaho. Jan. li-Speclal.) That
the Initiative and referendum will be
made an Issue during the present session
of the Legislature became evident to
day In the Senate, when Senator Hornl
brook. of Twin Falls County, president
of the Idaho Direct Legislation League.
Introduced two resolutions calling for
submission of constitutional amendments
providing for the placing of this power
in the bands of the people.
Both were referred to the committee
on privileges and elections.
Fight to Be Non-Partisan.
It Is asserted by the advocates of the
so-called reform measures, that they In
tend to make their fight non-partisan
and that they already have the guar
antee and support of numerous Republi
can. It Is plainly Intimated, however,
that both measures will meet with stren
uous opposition and probable defeat.
Senator Horn! brook announced that
tomorrow morning he would Introduce a
resolution providing for the recall as an
amendment to the state constitution.
A fight that broke in the Senate this
afternoon caused extreme bitterness, it
came up over the motion of Senator
Freehafer, of Washington County, to
confirm the appointment by Governor
Hawley of Sam Rich, the Mormon candi
date for Commissioner of Immigration,
and resulted In the confirmation going
over to March 4.
Democrats Served Notice.
Senator Potts, of Kootenai County,
served notice on the Democrats that
Republicans had control of the Legisla
ture and intend to hold It, regardless of
the "cheap and petty politics played by
the minority."
"You. the minority, are a pack of
hungry wolves always ready to devour
your prey," angrily shouted Senator St.
Clair, of Bingham County.
"Commissioner Fallon managed to se
cure one of the crumbs that fell from
the Republican political table and we
propose to see that he holds HI
"You can't bully us and you can't bluff
us. I want to tell you that when the
investigation of Republican state offi
cials and boards that you have been
howling for Is made, you will find every
Republican has clean skirts."

GOODWIN DEFENDS GIRL
SAYS STORY ABOUT AFFAIR
WITH "BABY DOLL" FALSE.
Only Spoke Dozen Words to Her Off
Stage DiTorce Attributed to
Falsehoods of Pensioner.
NEW YORK. Jan. 12. (Special.) Nat
C. Goodwin, whose wife. Edna Goodrich,
Is suing him for a divorce, said today:
"The story that came out of St. Louis
last night, connecting my name with
that of a young woman whom I am sup
posed to have called 'Baby doll,' Is cruel
In the extreme. She was in the company
In which I was playing in Delmar Park
In St. Louts. My acquaintance with her
was very slight. I don't believe I ever
spoke a dozen words to her off the stage
and these were on business matters.
The story that Miss Goodrich's counsel
has obtained the testimony of a chauf
feur and two waiters In Delmar Park
against me is absurd. .
"This trouble began In Canada, when
my wife visited me there. From a man
in whom I had the most Implicit trust
she heard a lot of ugly things which re
sulted In the divorce proceedings. These
stores were untrue. They cut me to the
heart when I heard them, for they came
from a man who at various times had
been a pensioner on me a man after
whom I looked for 16 years as If he were
my brother. My confidence In him was
so great I let him earry my checkbook.
"Women's minds are receptive and
women are hysterical and impulsive, too
ready to believe at times even when
their own happiness Is at stake, and
therefore these divorce proceedings."
