VETO UNDOES ALL
WORK OF SOLONS
Governor's Action Brings to
Naught Idaho's Special
Legislative Session.
POLITICAL CHAOS REIGNS
Tela lev Drrlirfs Measure Passed by
Krpnbl trans Violates Ijiw.
Proposal Made to Consoli
date Slate Institution.
BOISK. Idaho. Jn. I. In vetotna;
the previous bill passed by the Leg
islature of Idaho In special session.
Dortmor Itawlev nndld today vir
tually ail that tha lawmakers bave
arcompllshed. Both housea bava con
curred In a resolution, fixing tomor
row aa tha time for adjournment.
Tha revenue- law recommended by
the Governor was defeated In tha Leg
islature. A substitute, tha bill vetoed
today, made no provision for a data
tax commission and fixed tha taxable
value of property at 40 per cent of Its
real value, which 'ho aaaessors were
required to return.
Consternation relrns supreme In lee
Sslatlvs circles tonight over tha veto
of the special relief revenue bill. The
measure was drafted and passed by tha
Xpuhllcanj after they had turned
down the mass of revenue legislation
presented by the Hawley-Martin-Mac-lana
commission. Then followed tha
breaking off of negotiations between
tha Republicans and tha Democrats to
present a harmonious compromise tax
rommlsslon bill, the Immediate adop
tion of a resolution by both houses to
adjourn tomorrow night at ( o'clock,
and the adoption by the Senate of a
resolution caillnc for tha abolishment
tu a.'l state Instltutlona that are not
paying and tha consolidation of all
State educational Institutions with tha
t'nl varsity of Idaho, which la to bo
located at soma central point
Ilawley la luUlnL
'Added to tha chaotic seriousness of
tha situation Is tha well-founded re
port that tha Oovernor proposea to In
sist that the Legislature proceed with
the enactment of the legislation he de
sires and la determined Immediately to
call another extra aesslaon If tha Leg
islature Insists on adjourning tomor
row night without accomplishing this.
Oovernor Ilawley announced to tha
House lata thla afternoon ba had ve
toed the revenue relief bill and gave
his reasons. They are founded on tha
Governor's construction that tha bill
did not comply with tha full cash value
provision of the law. but Inatead called
for tha assessment, ha declared, la vio
lation of the law, at 40 per cent of tha
actual cash value at which. It Is as
sessed. Ua also objected to the pro
visions of tha bill with relation to bank
stock assessments and tha failure of
tha measure to provlda for tha proper
assessment of mines.
Every effort was made In tha House
to vote on tha passage of tha bill over
the Governor's veto, but the number
of Democrats holding aeata prevented
tha aecurlng of a two-thlrda vote. The
Republicans then adopted a motion
Raking the question of considering tha
veto a special order at 10 o'clock to
morrow morning. Tha resolution to
adjourn tha Legislature was adopted
In the House without opposition and
went through tha Senate with but a
f-b!e protest on tha part of the Demo
crats. Sew Mm Startlem.
The Senate sprang a sensation by
adopting a resolution Introduced by
Senators Pugmlre and Kerns, calling
for the consolidation of all state edu
cational Institutions with the Univer
sity of Idaho, to be located at some
"central, accessible and suitable place
In the state and placed under one board
ef managers." that all Institutions
ether than educational be abolished and
the buildings and other properties In
connection be sold and the money con
verted Into agricultural extension
schools: that all departments, commis
sions and inspectors relating to agri
culture and horticulture ba placed un
der the control of the agricultural col
lege: that the head of each department
be required to render an Itemised state
ment showing receipts and expendi
tures and the administration of the
state government be reduced to an
economical basis. The Senate adopted
the resolution without debate.
Republicans charge the Ooverner
with bad faith and the breaking of a
compart of trust through Ma veto of
ne relief revenue law. The Senate
majority declares that after the pas
ease of the relief measure known aa
Jiouse bill 11. an agreement was en
tered Into by which the Iiepubllcans
gave their pledge that they, with the as
sistance of tha lmucnu. would draft
a tax commission bill agreeable to the
minority, creating the office of tax
commissioner with power to enforce
the revenue laws, and would pass It.
providing - the Governor would sign
the relief measure. Their first Inti
mation that the Governor did not pro
pose to live up to the compact, the
Republicans declare, was when he s-nt
his veto message to the House. The
Republicans now contend that th Oov
ernor has blocked their plan to give
relief and declare they do not propose
to proceed farther.
This leaves the Legislature at tha
end of Its session without having ac
complished anything.

a close Imitation of tha color of the
Inside of a rasor clamshell, but Is the

One thing which led to the adoption

delegates to the grand lodge from over
all the United States will come, aa

SEATTLE. Wash, Jan. it. Testi
mony denying every charge made by
the prosecution In tha trial of Mrs.
Linda Burfleld Haxzard, charged with
caualng the death by starvation of
Mlaa Clalra Williamson, a wealthy Eng
lish woman, waa obtained from six wit
nesses called by the defense at Port
Orchard today.
On the statement of counsel for both
sides that the ease la now nearlng an
end. Judge John H. Takey announced
that night session contemplated would
not be held.
Direct testimony of the defense to
day waa largely given by Watson Webb
and Frank LUley. Webb'a name was
brought Into the caaa In the testimony
of Dorothea Williamson, slater of the
woman alleged to have been murdered,
who also was a patient at Mrs. Has
sard's "starvation eanltorlum."
Webb epare-Sfladeel Teeth."
He waa said to have been authorised
to aid In nursing the Williamson sis
ters, and It waa brought out by the
prosecution that when a protest waa
made Mra Kaxxard replied: "He's ail
right. He' l jly a pure-minded youth."
Webb decWred on tha stand that hta
call on the Williamson sisters waa at
their own earnest urging. He also de
clared a strong friendship for the ac
cused and admitted much Interest In
the outcome.
On cross-examination It waa brought
out that the witness, on several pre
vious Instances, had sxerclssd a friend
ly and visiting aasoclatlon with four
other of Mrs. Hassard'a patients. Ha
declared that auch visits were for the
purpose of having "sociological conver
satlona" with the Invalids. Induced by
tha auggeatlona of Mra. Haxxard.
Jadge "Calls" Witness.
Ths cross-examination of Webb, as
well as that of Mlaa Sherman, ths nurss
whose grilling at tha hands of the
prosecutors occuplsd all ths forenoon,
drew frequent dispute and quarrel
between counsel, and Judge Jakey
found It necessary to cblds the wit
nesses for Improper conduct on the
stand and refusal to answer question
properly.
Much stress was placed by the state
on cross-examination over an alleged
trip by Webb to Portland and an effort
there to draw one of the state s chief
witnesses. Miss Esther H. Cameron,
away from attending the trial.
Witness admitted he had discussed
matters of tha trial with Misa Cameron
In Portland, but waa lntereated only aa
a friend of the accused and to see the
right prevail.
Allegation la DesUeaT.
Ths state accused him of offering
Mis Cameron the equivalent of four
months' pay If h would remain away
from the trial and Ignore a summons
of the court. This was answered by
an explanatory denial.
At this point ths court directed coun
sel for tha defense to desist from coach
ing, thua giving cues to their witnesses,
or forcible measures would be taken.
An effort to have Mra H. W. Galea, of
Olalla, testify that tha reputation of
the state's witness. Miss Cameron, was
bad. waa made Impossible through her
statement that she knew nothing of the
glrl'e character outside the opinion
within her own family.
Mra Mary E. Ulley, the mother of
one of the chief witnesses of the de
fense wor that Mlaa Cameron'a repu
tation for truthfulnesa waa bad and
that aha had been discharged from em
ployment at the Haxxard sanitarium.

sanitarium, who had been accused by
Miss Dorothea Williamson of having
been need In the establishment to aa
slst In giving hsr hatha and other im
proper eervlces. directly contradicted

The witness also repudiated an Im
plied charge that he waa a "cult fad
dlat," that he had ever Insisted upon
entering a bathroom where Mlsa Wil
liamson was bathing and that he con
sidered the patients, when brought
prostrate to Olalla. as having mora the
appearance of "mental temperaments"

Mrs. Uaaaard Made Sign.
At the morning session tha cross
examination of Miss Sherman, the nurse
In the employ of Mrs. Haxxard, pro
ceeded tedloualy for an hour and a
half, witness refusing to answer aome
questions and replying evasively to
others, counsel for the prosecution de
claring to Judge Takey that his as
aoclate counsel and others In ths court
room had observed Mra. Haxzard mak
ing signs tp Miss Sherman. The Judge
Instructed ths bailiff to keep close
watch on Mrs. Haxxard.
Miss Sherman, who Is about 60 years
old, was reluctant to answer ths state's
questions, and sometime IS minutes
would be required to extract Informa
tion from her on a single point. The
court warned her that a penalty would
be Imposed If she -refused to make re
plies. Wltnesa admitted that she had
said to a friend, Mrs. Spence, that
Claire Williamson needed meat broth.
She admitted also that she had previ
ously nursed a patient of Mra Haz
ard, and that the patient had died.
She admitted telling Dr. Augusta
Brewer that she was giving Claire
Williamson only asparagus and tomato
broths and orange Juice, and when
asked to harmonlxa this statement
with her previous testimony that she
had given raisins, nuta and fruit to
Claire, aha explained that In her con
versation with Dr. Brewer she referred
to the diet of only one certain day.
Denials Are Numerous.
Wltneas denlod that she had aald
to Miss Corrlgan that Mrs. Haxzard
waa starving the Williamson sisters
to death, and also denied saying:
"I am In It and have got to stay."
Witness admitted saying to Mr.
Cook, wife of a grocer, that "she had
never had auch a case before," and
thought It possible that she had added
that she "would never take another
such case."
Witness was asked If she had not
said to Miss Cameron, after tha latter
came from the courtroom, last week:
"You think you're smart, but I sat
In ths Judge' chamber and heard all
you eald."
Witness denied making any suoh re
mark. During the recess asked for by the
prosecution Miss Sherman was In ear
nest consultation with the two lawyers
of the defense. When she went on the
stand again ahe waa asked by the
prosecution to tell what happened at
this conference. Witness could not re
member distinctly. She was asked why
she remembered events of a year ago
ao well and had forgotten those of a
few moments before. Witness finally
aald that counsel for the defense had
employed the recess In exhorting her
to tell the truth. Miss Sherman's cross
examination was concluded at the noon
recess. Although the defense Intimates
that Mrs. Haxzard will go on the stand,
the general Impression Is .that she will
not do so.
