Tbe report la signed by Senators Lan

By 4a to 41 the House defeated a bill
which would have made It a misde
meanor for any elective officer to have
alsned a pledge to vote for or against
ar.y measure, provided pledge had
not been filed with the County Auditor
ten dnvs tefore election.
Before the measure was voted down
several speeches were mad by members
protesting against the flood of requests
they were compelled to consider from
persons desiring to pledge them on leg
islation. Primary Bill Postponed.
Consideration, of other measures was)
made possible by postponing Until to
morrow afternoon bill affecting the di
rect primary, which had. been made a
special order for today. Thia decision
waa not reached without much debate. As
there are many bllla proposing changes)
In the primary law, the House found it
difficult to determine which bills to con
elder. It was evident that the author of
each believed his bill was the most Im
portant. By 3 to tha House passed a Senate
bill making it a gross misdemeanor for
ary Judge of a court not of record to use
vl.e or Improper language during the
trial of a case.
A bill requiring all County Commis
sioners In counties having cities) of more

lic morgues vm passed, 52 to IT.
The House postponed Indefinitely a bill
which would have prevented companies
employing largo numbers of laborers)
f rum contracting with laymen for tha
professional services) of physicians. In
support of tbe bill Ghent, a physician,
said It was the practice of large log
ging companies to arrange with lay con
tractors who agree to provide hospital
services for Injured employes. He said
local doctors were therefore required to
come down to the prices of outside com
binations. Bills passed In the Senate were:
Senate Bill Establishing standard for
condensed milk and butter, similar to the
Or.iB law.

to convert the present Orpheum Thea
tear at Third and James street Into a

now under oourse of construction at
the corner of Third avenue and Madi
son street. The preaent Orpheum has a
seating capacity of 2600, and the high
est price for any seat under the film
arrangement will be 10 cents. The
house will be run according to the
system prevailing In tbe East, with
two-hour film shows, and using only
first-run films. These will be careful
ly censored and such features as now
tend to bring; the business Into 111
repute with churches and other dis
criminating Influences will be avoided.
Mr. Consldlne contemplates adding
vaudeville features to the film enter
tainment, as the Sullivan A Consldlne
circuit always has acts of sufficient
class available to Its booking office,
and can consequently supply them at
lowest cost to themselves. It is ex
pected that the new Orpheum will be
ready to be opened by the last Mon
day in April or the first Monday In

house will open not more than a week

of Sentence of One Year
Have Been Served.
SALEM, Or Feb. 38. (Special.)
Through an affidavit filed by a teuow
prisoner In the penltentary, Benjamin
Overdorf, who has already served sev
eral months of a year's sentence, has
been able to prove to Governor West
his absolute Innocence of crime, ar.l
accordingly be was pardoned today.
Arthur Barrett, a prisoner also serving
a sentence of a year for the same
crime, completely exonerated his com
panion and told how Overdorf waa the
victim of circumstances.
Overdorf was made to believe that
he was a regularly deputized officer,
according to Barrett, and was taken
to a man whom Barrett had made to
appear as a criminal for whom there
was a reward. For granting the man
freedom on payment of $60 and later
securing $50 from a aaloonkeper under
threat of arrest the two men were cap
tured and sentenced. Overdorfs con
nection with the affair was entirely
Innocent, Barrett says.
Tbe real criminal tells of meeting
Overdorf in Dufur on June 10. last, and
of being Introduced to him by tbe City
Marshal as a man of experience in pm
vate detective work. He says he told
of a $2000 reward for the capture of
Jack Monroe for feloniously entering
the Hotel Phillips in Portland and
shooting a policeman. - Then, he says,
he signed an agreement to give Over
dorf half the reward and had him dep
utized by Justice Frazler. He also
swore out a wararnt for tbe arrest of
Monroe.
The next day, he says, he hired a
livery team and drove to the Deschutes
River, where Monroe ran a "gallon
house." Monroe was then arrested and
Barrett tells how he took Monroe
apart from Overdorf and accepted $50
to let him go.
Driving to the negt "gallon-house,"
Barrett says, he gave the driver a dol
lar to buy whisky and thereupon told
John Conroy, the proprietor, to choose
between paying $50 and being arrested
for selling whisky illegally. Conroy.
he says, gave him the money and tha
next day both men were arrested for
extortion. Both men were sentenced
June SO.
Barrett affirms that he and he alone
Instigated the scheme and carried It
out and that Overdorf went Into it In
good faith and had no way of knowing
but that he was to assist In a legal
arrest and to rece've $1000 for his
work.

SPOKANE; Feb. 28. Because of felse
reports spread broadcast throughout the
United States that bubonlo plague had
broken out in Spokane and that several
deaths from the disease had occurred,
Mavor N. S. Pratt and the Board of

all three physicians agree the disease is
merely an unusually severe form of in

Alveolar Dentistry
In a majority of our advertisements
we lay great stress on our specialty.
Alveolar dentistry, replacing missing
teeth without a plate or bridge work,
and the curing of Pyorrhea (loose
teeth). The work Is so remarkable in
Its character that it is apt to over
shadow those other cases which come
to us the simple cases. We don't want
the idea to obtain that we are Alveolar
specialists alone. .We are that, but
something more general practitioners
of the first class. We do dentistry In
all Its branches from the simple piece
of filling up. It's a boastful statement
to make, but we can do anything that
is possible in dentistry and what we do
is always of the very highest class.
Our booklets. Alveolar Dentistry and
examinations are free. There are VI
Alveolar Dental Co. offloes In the West.
About 60,000 people are wearing our
Alveolar teeth. About 2000 people in
this city and state have been supplied
by this office. 99 per cent if not
every single one will tell you if asked
that It's the best investment they ever
made in dentistry. In many cases
where brldgework is impossible and all
cases where it Is possible, we can re
place your teeth with beautiful, artis
tic comfortable, cleanly and everlast
ing teeth that we will defy any one,
dentist or layman, to tejl from natural
teeth. For full Information see our
Sunday ads.
