The expected legislative probe into affairs at the State Training School and State School for the Feeble Minded apparently is coming, regard less of the efforts made by members of the State Board to keep the trouble out of the Legislature. Probably Senator Butler, of The Dalles, will introduce the resolution in a day or two. He is making a quiet persona? investigation as to the Inside of the affairs at the two schools and is making preparation to introduce such a resolution. Senator Butler expresses himself as believing that a probe should be car ried on for the benefit of the people of the state to determine the truth of rumors and charges that have been hurled back and forth. The original trouble came up over charges of laxity in discipline at the State Training School. Then Governor west, in hurling back defiance at the accusers of the system of the school, declared he would pre fer charges against Frank Smith, su perintendent of the School for the Fee-ble-Minded. Smith is an appointee of State Treasurer Kay. When the matter apparently was due to come to a head in an investigation, scheduled for a day or two before the Legislature was to open, the investiga tion was turned over to Kay and the public Investigation called off. Kay is to report his findings to the Board as to the Training School, while the Smith charges apparently have been dropped. Judge Butler believes that there is possibly an end to the management of one or the other or the schools and possibly both, which should be inves tigated and be bared to the people of the state. The question of lax discipline at the Training School and accompanying charges which have been made by em- i ployes. as well as some others, be the basis for the assumption of the investigation on the part of the Legis lative Assembly.

The second bill repealed another pio neer portion of the code providing that In counties without a County Clerk the clerk of the County Court is to act In that capacity. All counties now have County Clerks. Supreme Court May Sit at Medford STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 16. (Special.) To provide that the State Supreme Court shall hold two terms at Medford yearly is the purpose of a bill introduced in the House this morning by Representative Carkin. of Jackson.
