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."

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

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:

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."

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

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

Street Committee Fixes Valuation of
New Railway's Franchise At
torney Fulton Objects.
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.
LIMBURGER CHEESE FOUND

yesterday morning that someone had

onstrated by the complete success which
crowned the investigation.
Sergeant Harms and Patrolman Gruber
were detailed, and repaired immediately
to the store of the Purity Cream Com
pany, where the theft was committed.
There they got a ecent and took the
trail with such speed that they ran the
miscreant to earth within three blocks.
He had tue goods on him.
The prisoner gave his name as Charles
A. Fredericks. With his odoriferous loot

SLUR ON SAINT RESENTED
Hibernians Suspect Motive Behind
St. Patrick's Day Bill.
In the belief that the bill introduced
at Salem to declare St. Patrick's day
