0 ONE MORE JUDGE VETOED BY WEST Emergency Clause Blocking People's Voice, Governor Throws Out Bill. 23 MEASURES IN SHADOW EmcbUt Refuses to Specif Meas rr He Intends to Kill, but Many Entailing Expense and Others in Peril. 6ALEV. Or, Feb. ILSp-il. Gov ernor West has vetoed the Collins bill, providing for aa extra Judgs for Mult nomth County. Hs reached this de cision after much consideration. In a slimed statement Issued in the session of the .Legislature Governor West said he unalterably opposed to an Increase of two Judge for Mult nomah County, hut that he believed there was a possibility of on additional Judge being- advisable. But. as the Col lins bill cam Into the Executive offlrea. It carried an emergency clause, and that proved to be Its death warrant. "Without the smerKenry clause I would have approved the bill." said t!:e Governor tonight. bnt as the bill stands It la unquestionably one which I cannot auction. I have found that there is a vast difference of opinion In Multnomah County as to whether there should be aa Increase In the number of Judsea on the Circuit bench. It manifestly re solves Itself Into a question for the people to decide, and w'th the emer gency clause attached it Is Just aa man ifestly Impossible for the people to de termine whether there should be such an Increase." Supreme Bench Abo Hit. Governor West has given his poertlon conclusively as to the question of In creasing the number of members on the bench, and his interview declaring that he would under no consideration ap prove the addition of two Supreme Jus tices promptly killed the bill which was Introduced for that purpose. And Just aa quickly was a bill providing- for two Judges in Multnomah County changed to read that there should be an Increase of but one Judge, when the Governor mads plain his attitude on that subject. It Is doubtful If any on measure re relved the support of a stronger lobby than that which had for Its purpose aa addition to the number of Judges on the Circuit Bench In Multnomah, but warn ing was sounded In the Senate when ths bill was passed that it might never be come effective If an emergency clause should be allowed to stand at ths end of the bill. As Near SS II Ma. With 21 bills so far destined for ths l!ughter-houee." Governor West Is making progress through the proposeJ legislation of the session. Because there are some of these !S bills of which he is doubtful and there Is a possibility that he may change his mind, he refuses to say to which of ths bills be wlU finally affix his veto. It is very probable that one of these, however, will be the Bowerman bill designated to prevent frauds against ths state. This bill prescribes that any of ficer drawing a salary froen the stats csnnot enter Into a contract with or sell goods to the state. From the fact that the provisions might eliminate a guard from the peni tentiary or an attendant at the asylum from selling farm produce or stock at a lower bid than any on else. It appears that the Governor may refuse to sanc tion It. The other veto messages that may com he is keeping secret and they will probably not be given out until Thursday. Costly Index May Fail. A question arises as to the bill which provides for a three-volume publication of Lord's Oregon laws under the pro posed bill providing for a three-volume code, an extra Index of several pages Is required and the Governor has filed a query asking whether the state will be called upon to pay for the printing of the extra Index. If this Is saddled on the stat a veto will probably fol low. Another bill providing for state game reserves has been found to be faulty. In enrolling; this measure only a por tion of It was copied. Nevertheless, the Governor will probably file It and allow It to take Its course and the portion of the bill which Is Included will stand as a law. Among those measures which will be quieted the Increase in the salary of Circuit Judges will probably be vetoed. This prescribes that Circuit Judges of the stat shall hav their salary In creased from JOH to 14000 a year. In addition to this. Increases In the ealarlea of Prosecuting Attorneys will also b cut off. One of these bills, a measure by Von der Hellen. It Is said, was filed through oversight, but the others will no doubt suffer. E.VVOV OP DAK SCRmi-StD W. it. Davis Thought Oo tremor Would I a -i or Additional Judge. "1 want to exprexs my surprise at the Governors action In vetoing this VIII." said W. M. Davts last night. "I went to Salem as Uie representative of the Multnomah Bar Association, seeking to create two additional Circuit Judge ships In Multnomah County, and also, as representative of the Plate Bar Aaatocla tton. to enlarge the Supreme Court. When I ii working along these lines, word was brought to me from the Gov ernor that he would not approve of any additional Supreme Judges and that he wouM approve of only one more Judge in Multnomah County. When this word was received, w amended the bill before the legislature. although the Multnomah delegation had already voted to recom mend two more Judges. I remained In P-Irm st considerable expene until the bill was passed. Now I am certainly astonished to hear that the Governor has changed his mind and vetoes this bill." OXE XEVTUAXs OTHER. TLEASED Gantenbeln Expected Veto, McGinn Says West Did Kight. That settles IU I guess." said Pre siding Circuit Judge Gantenbeln. when told Governor West had vetoed the hill providing an extra stats Circuit Judge for Multnomah County. I heard about noon today that the Governor had passed a remark to a friend that he intended to veto the bill. I had taken no direct Interest In the !. either for or against It. as I considered that a matter entirely for the Legislature and the Governor to wrestle with. I was In Saiea with ths other members of the Multnomah dele gation of Judges, and w told the legis lators as best we could, of ths condi tion of the calendar and docket. "Th veto of the Governor makes but little difference as to the. amount of work the Judges will do: we will do a day's work anyway. I had Intended to plac SS cases a month additional on th calendar, and In that way flU it. I did not set any cases Monday, pend ing th Governor's action." k Circuit Judge McGinn was outspoken in his prslse of th Governor for hav ing vetoed th bilL "I think there are enough Judges on the bench now," lie said, "if we divide the work up we can do it easily. Th cases ax not be hind. I tried two cases last week, one filed last December and on filed in January. Th men who want their cases tried can get them tried If th law vera will call their cases."

COLUMBIA TAKES GAME GREAT BASKETBALL CONTEST LOST BY JEFFERSON, Though Losing; School Outplays Oo- ponenta Inability to Turn Foals Into Points Cots Heavily. riaylng th best gam of th year from whistle to whistle. Columbia Uni versity and Jefferson High School struggled desperately for supremacy at basketball yesterday afternoon on th Toung Men's Christian Association gymnasium floor. Columbia won. It to 1. Jefferson outplayed Columbia a good part of the game, but lost because of th Inability of Captain Vosper to turn fouls Into points. This feature alone defeated Jefferson. So bard did the teams fight for every point that It seemed almost Impossible for either side to score a nnai goal. Jefferson placed Bve from the field and Columbia got six. one of which came In the last live minutes of plsy. Th lsrgest crowd of the season at tended the gam and excitement was Intense. During the second half th scor stood a tie at 14-14 and 1-1 for several minutes. When the game end ed Columbia's men were nearly mobbed by Joyful rooters. To win the cham pionship of the Interscholastlc League, Columbia has but to win another game, that from Washington High School. Jefferson was considered the more dan gerous of the two. The constant fouling by th players of both teams lessened the speed and some of the Interest In the game, par ticularly In th second half. Columbia was the worst offender, having had 14 fouls called on Its men. Jefferson was caua-ht fouling 14 times. Fitxgerald and Vosper each scored, only six points from fouls. Team-work was aooui even imousu out the game and It was good on both sides. Because of superior slxe Colum bia had the better of th play that was rough. Columbia's men wer set to watch Captain Vosper of Jefferson, but despite their vigilant guarding the clever Jefferson captain played a great game. , With th score standing 11-10 in th second half with Columbia having the two-point advantage. Jefferson got two baskets and took the lead. Columbia scored two fouls and tied the score. Jefferson then nsaumed the lead on a foul and soon Increased that lead one point more with another foul. Colum bia then tied th scor with a basket. After several minutes of spirited playing Kirklsnd made a lucky toss over his head and after rolling around th rim the ball fell Into the basket, counting Columbia a total of II. Fitx gerald then turned a foul Into a point and th gam ended. Th lineup: Columbia. Jefferson. Vospsr OO) " Klrkland We f ntxgerald III) Anderson 4 C .-.

BILL IS MUCH MUTILATED (Continued From First Pare.) final vote striking the entire flrst-ald clauss from the bill was 66 to 35. Second reading of the bill had occu pied most of the morning. Practically all amendments were defeated except those which had th approval of th labor and labor statistics commit tee. Th first stroke at the vital fea ture of the bill was msde In the after noon by Beach of Mason, who moved to strike out the entire section creating the flrst-ald fund. "Ther ar no employers who do not recognise the principle of this bill." said Beach In support of his motion. "They do object, however, to having their In jured men taken car of by a Stat Board when they themselves glv th man better treatment. When this bill was first drawn not one of th Commis sion could say how much would be col lected. Huge Fund Discussed. Later th Commissioners estimated that they would collect 11.800,000 In this manner in the first year. Employers hav calculated that this fund will reach $1600.000. Half of that huge slush fund Is to be tsken from the men. There Is not a single check on that great amount except th 18 per cent whch fs to be paid into th accident fund. Even the authors admit ther could be no check on th SS per cent. Ther has been a great desire to know what is to be done with this big slush fund. They say they sre going to establish hospitals. Is the State of Washington going into th hospital business, backed by this enor mous collection of t2.500.000? "This big string of hospitals would help out wonderfully in th hug political machina made possible by this measure. Then, too, this does not make provision for the greater -part of workmen who Deed aid. Sick Are Forgotten. "Ther is nothing St all said about caring for th sick man. The best figures obtainable show that 85 per cent of the men who come out of our logging camps needing attention have pneumonia or other sickness. This bill seeks to destroy all existing arrange ments for helping such persons but gives us nothing in Its stead." "We are Just being elevated above th greed" and avarice in dealing with the maimed and injured," replied Teats. Speaker Downs First Aid. .There were If absentees snd the mo tion to strike the first-aid section from the bill lost by a vote of 40 to 40. The large number of absentee caused Speaker Taylor to remark that a great many Representatives had in mind running for office again in two years and were sidestepping on this account. At his suggestion Representative Dickson made a motion to reconsider the vote and in the meantime a call of the House was ordered and the sergeant-at-arms gathered in as many of th absentees as could ' e reached. Representative McNeely spoke against the first-aid clause although he said h was in favor of all the other feat ures of the bill. Speaker Taylor turned over the gavel to Dow of Pierce and took the floor to lead the attack on th flrst-ald clause. "We are doing the friends of this measure a kindness by striking at the first-aid section." said Taylor. "The commission will give the new . law more satisfactory administration with out It. With this feature there Is too much work for one commission to do, especially at the outset." 66 Oppose Clause. There was a considerable change on the second rollcall on the flrst-ald sec tion, there being 91 members present this time, 68 supporting the motion to strike out the section snd Jo for re taining It. A motion by Webster of King to make the commissioners appointive only for the first term and thereafter elective was defeated. Speaker Taylor said he would be found against com missions as a rule but that he believed that the men who began the adminis tration of such an Important law should not be hampered by an ap proaching election or that the measure should be Jeopardised iy an early change of officials. "In going to that higher plane in process of evolution we cannot expect perfection all at once, but we are at th point where people must decide how to do it best. There are three ele ments we want to get rid of. The workmen are themselves paying at present the huge sum of $3,000,000 in the various funds for giving first aid to their fellow men. This amount is being taken from their wages. Graft Cry Raised. "There is an element of graft we want to get rid of. The liability com panies are now collecting 30 or 40 per cent of all the compensation injured workmen get. We want to get entirely rid of that. Then there is the ambulance-chaser who. with his cash and his brains, forces something out of the company. "The gentleman from Mason has said th employers furnish better first-aid to their men by the collection of one dollar a month from each. I say this is a graft. I am told that there Is one big company on Grays Harbor at present that keeps three big crews of men one under promise of work, one actually working -and one discharged. They take a dollar from each of these men. no matter how long they work. They say the collection is made month ly. However, they keep a man only a few days, take a dollar from him as his first payment, discharge him and take on another man. This Is a huge graft. I am told that the contractor who constructed the Northern Pacific Una out of Portland made $180,000 in this way. No wonder these men are howling against the first-aid fund. Hospital Is Praised. "Organisations Ilk th,' Northwest Improvement Company, an' adjunct to the Northern Pacific, the Eclipse and such people have good flrst-ald asso ciations of their own. Why?- Because the men themselves maintain hospitals and take rare of their follow-workers. It Is such institutions as the Northern Pacific Hospital at Tacoma that we want. I'd like to see a monument Ilka the Tacoma Hospital in every city. In such an Institution you never see a man lose an arm because he's been scratched like you see at Centralia and other places, where the men do not maintain them. In my law practice I have had clients come from the Colum bia River as far north as Alaska with lamenting stories of treatment in hos pitals where they were sent, but never such a story has come from a hospital maintained by a first-aid fund collected by the men and run by them. The doctor In such an institution is not hurrying the day when he can turn a patient out penniless." TAX OV AUTOMOBILES FAILS Washington Senate Qualities Bill. Public-Service Measure Up. OLTMPIA. Waah.. Feb. SI. (Spe cial.) In the Senate today Bassett's bill levying special tax on automobiles caused much discussion, and was final ly shelved by Indefinite postponement. When the report of the committee on th public utilities commission bill was submitted. Senator Jensen, of Pierce, one of the members of the committee, said that since no opposition had been directed against It by the corporations, it would appear that the bill would give the commission too much power, and ho presented a minority report recom mending that all features be stricken out ' that gave the commission mora authority than that enjoyed by th present Railroad Commission. A sub stitute bill was submitted by the com mittee. This and the majority and minority reports were ordered printed. A score of residents of Klickitat County arrived In Olympla today to lobby on the bill Introduced In the Senate by Chappell for th creation of White Salmon County out of the west end of Klickitat County.

Third reading of the Insurance com mission code was completed today. It took five hours to read It section by section. Oldest Indian, 116, Is Dead. CASTLE ROCK. Wash., Feb. 21. (Special.)

Acting-Mayor Beldtng presiding, ths Executive Board yesterday afternoon adopted the report of Its street commit tee on the valuation of the proposed franchiso of the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company for . conducting a power plant and distribution system In Portland. Two and one-half per cent wlU be charged on the gross earn ings of the company for power sold In Portland to any save a competing; company, when 25 per cent will be the rate. One-half of one per cent will be the rate for all current carried through the city and not sold here. C. W. Fulton, representing the com pany, asked if the Board would give him any further opportunity to be heard. 'Not as far as the street committee Is concerned." replied Chairman Piatt, of the committee. "You had a full hearing before us." Mr. Fulton said that he felt the 2 per cent rate on the gross earnings was too high, and that It would be a hardship on the company. He also said the 26 per cent rate, ho felt, would be onerous. He made no further com ment, and the board, upon motion of Mr. Platt, adopted the committee's re port without hesitation or a single remark from any of the members, after Mr. Platt had said briefly why the com mittee made its recommendations. The franchise will go to the City Council tomorrow morning, that being the time of the meeting, as today is a holiday. It will probably be passed tor publication In the official paper, as required by the charter. As the revised franchise, containing the route of the proposed Joint road for the Mount Hood and Portland Rail way, Light & Power companies, has not been fully prepared, the street committee of the City Council, at Its special session, was unable yesterday afternoon to make any progress on that phase of the Mount Hood Company's plans.
