NEED IS DOUBTFUL
Multnomah Delegation Divided
on Judge's Measure.
NECESSITY MUST BE PLAIN
With Circuit Judges Differing on
Question of Securing More Help
for Bench, Members of Legis
lature Suspend Action.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. IT.
(Special.) If the needs of the district de
mand two additional Circuit Judges.
Representative Collins' bill providing
for such an Increase In the Multnomah
County Judiciary will receive the support
of a united delegation from that county.
Before this support will be given, how
ever, the members of the delegation say
they must be "shown" that the services
of the two additional Judges asked for are
Indispensable. This Is the sentiment of
the delegation, determined today by 'n
tcrviewing a majority of its members.
It was) for the purpose of obtaining
some d'Hnlij information as to the need
of twi more JW-a-year Circuit Judges
that Bigelow this week Introduced a res
olution inviting the five officiating Judges
In Multnomah County to appear before
the members of the delegation and other
members of the Legislature. A meeting
has been arranged for this purpose for
next Tuesday night. It will not be un
til after this conference that several of
the members of the delegation will de
cide as to their position on the bill.
Judges Are Divided. f
Some of the Multnomah delegation
have discussed the need for more Judges
with the present members of the court
and have found the five judges divided
as to the need of more assistance. Judges
McGinn and Gatens assured these legis
lators that additional Judges were not
needed. Judge Gatens, however, quali
fied his statement by saying that the
present members of the court could
easily handle the business of the
district if some provision could be made
by which some of the business now com
ing before It for adjudication could be
transferred to the Justice Court. If the
delegation should decide against the Col
lins bill, it Is probable some legislation
looking to the relief of the court, as sug
gested by Judge Gatens, may be proposed
at this session.
"I am perfectly willing that Multnomah
County should havs ail of the Circuit
Judges necessary to the satisfactory
transaction of the business of the
courts," said Representative Bigelow,
"but before I vote for a bill giving the
county two more Judges I must be con
vinced that there Is absolute need of
tbelr services. That Is the reason we
have asked the five Judges to appear
and give us Some Information as to the
actual condition of the court and Its
needs."
Decision. Hard to Make.
"With two members of the present
court contending for more assistance,
two other members maintaining that the
assistance Is not needed and the fifth
member of the court noncommittal Jin
the subject. I fall to see how the Legis
lature can be expected to act Intelli
gently and solve the problem." comment
ed Representative Clemens. "I want to
be completely satisfied that there Is posi
tive necessity for the additional Judges
provided In the bill before I eau vote to
create additional offices."
Representative Cottel viewed the sit
uation In the same light as did other
members of ths delegation In both
houses. It lo up to the advocates of the
Collins bill to satisfy the members of
the delegation that additional Judges are
required. Falling in this, no new Jobs
will be created.
W. M. Davis, of Portland, is bere ac
tively lobbying for the creation of ths
two additional Judgeships.
In the Senate there is a clearly marked
division on the question of Increasing the
number of Judges. President Selling
said ho is Inclined to ba against the In
crease at the present time, but says Ills
Ideas are subject to change. Albee takes
the same position, while Nottingham is
openly In opposition to adopting more
Judges. Joseph is unqualifiedly In favor
of the bill and Malarkey expresses him
lf as being favorable, as does Locke.
But. from the present outlook, the whole
question In the Multnomah delegation of
ths Senate hangs with Ketlaher. and he
expresses himself rs having reached no
conclusion on the subject.

BILL AIMS AT SALMOX FOES
One Provides Penalty for Propogat
Ing Dolly Varden Trout.
STATE CAPITOL. Saletp. Or, Jan. 27.
(Special.) For the protection of the
salmon Industry. Representatives Bel
land and Lelnenweber. of Clatsop, have
Introduced a bill making It unlawful
for any person or official of the state
to propagate Dolly Varden trout. This
variety of the trout family Is said to
be the worst enemy of the salmon. They
subsist principally on salmon eggs and
young salmon.
For the further propagation of sal
mon. Representative Neuner has pre
sented a bill providing for an appro
priation of $20,000 for the purchase of
land and the erection of salmon hatch
eries south of the Columbia River. The
money so appropriated Is to ba expend
ed under the supervision of the Master
Fish Warden.
Saloons May Have to Pay County.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. IT.
(Special.) Representative Rackieff
would increase the revenues of the
counties of the state by requiring ths
payment to the county by every incor
porated city of $400 per annum from
the license received from every saloon
within Its corporate limits. Mr. Rack
left introduced such a bill today.
BILL FOR PEDDLERS FOUGHT
House Measure Drops License.
Senate Opposes Change.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. 27.
(Special.) Merchants throughout the
state are opposed strongly to Represent
ative Gill's bill which virtually repeals
the peddlers' license law of the state.
The bill provides for the following re
ductions in these annual licenses: Ped
dler on foot from $25 to $1; peddler with
one horse and a wagon, $100 to $1.50;
peddler with two horses and a wagon,
$160 to $6: peddler with any other con
veyance. $300 to $7.50.
The Gill measure also proposes the
repeal of those provisions In the present
law requiring each applicant for a ped
dler's license to make a sworn state
ment ss to the quantity and value of the
goods In the county or to be offered for
saie In the county and the making of a
deposit with the County Treasurer of
an amount equal to the amount of his
license.
In the Senate W. N. Barrett's bill de
creasing peddlers' licenses met defeat
this afternoon after a warm discussion.
Barrett of Umatilla said the bill would
ruin the small store owners of Eastern
Oregon, while Abraham objected to the
measure, saying it tended to create a
monopoly.
Active opposition was waged on the
peddlers' license bill, largely because of
the presence here of the Oregon Retail
Merchants' Association.

count of Life-Post Attached.
Opponents Only Seven.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. 27.
(Special.) Senator Joseph's naval re
serve bill passed the Senate today, but
not without considerable opposition.
Joseph explained that his bill is for
the purpose of placing the naval reserve
on a legal basis and thus assure finan
cial support from the Federal Govern
ment for the training ship Boston, to be
furnished by the Navy Department.
Dimlck wished to know if the bill would
provide life positions for some men.
He was answered In the affirmative.
"I know one man who holds a life po
sition in the militia the Adjutant-General."
said Dlmick, "apd he is the right
hand political friend for sny man he
wishes to be."
Abraham and Bowerman explained
the provisions of the bill. Wood objected
to such a training system, declaring that
he believed it a small ambition and not
a high calling for a young man to seek
to be a midshipman.
On final passage the vote was:
Ayes Abraham. Albee, Barrett (Uma
tilla). Bowerman, Burgess, Calkins. Car

STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or., Jan. 27.
(Special.) Abolishment of capital punish
ment received a tentative defeat in the
Senate today, but advocates of the
measure are positive that on reconsidera
tion, which has been allowed, they will
carry the day.
This bill, auhetltute for Patton's bill,
prepared by the Judiciary committee,
proved to be the measure around which
waged the fiercest battle of the day in
the Senate and the lobby was packed
when it was noised about the Capital
that the question waa before the Senate.
Under provisions of the bill -capital
punishment is abolished completely and
tha Supreme Court Is practically made
the body to pase- on the question of
pardons. No pardon may be granted
by' the Governor unless the Supreme
Court is practically made the body to
pass on the question of pardons. No
pardon may be granted by the Governor
unless the Supreme Court enjbmlts an
opinion showing that new evidence has
been discovered proving Innocence of the
accused.
Dimlck Leads Opposition.
Malarkey made an urp'ent plea for the
bill, recounting his experience with prose-
anj twiner otntfstlcM to show that
capital punishment hsa not proved a de-
terrent oi crime, wmii- "

"Why, nine times out sf ten," he asked,
