OLYMPIA, Wub, Jan. 18. (Special.)
Merging of the numerous schemes for
road extensions and improvements now
before the Washington Legislature into
one general plan, which can be carried
out with the money which will be avail
able during the next two years, will
be attempted by a sub-committee of the
Bouse and Senate committees on roads
and bridges. The committee was ap
pointed today, when it became appare .t
that the flood of road measures would
result in unwise and possibly unfair ap
propriations of money unless a general
plant of procedure was established
which would give all parts of the state
an equal chance.
At meetings of the House and Sen
ate committees so far there has been a
general clamor from all parts of the
state for new roads. Road bills have
become so numerous and there have
been so many different schemes for
the extension of the state roads in
troduced that both roads committees
seemed to be facing difficulties which
could not be overcome.
I nhh-vf Mta Barred Out.
The sub-committee will investigate

appropriations and the road extensions
and improvements to be made.
The sub-committee will hold execu
tive sessions, only admitting such per
sons as are desired for information.
This course will be taken to prevent
lobbyists who are working for the
various roads from taking up the time
of the committee, and bringing about

investigation of ownership of wharfage

Dcsperat Encounter Follows At

Section of Edmonton.
EDMONTON. Alberta, Jan. 28. One
of the most daring bank robberies In
the City of Edmonton was attempted at
15:30 this morning In tne most thick
ly populated part of the city.
Two masked men. with a coll of rope
for binding the bank clerk, entered the
bank of Nova Scotia and at the point
of a gun demanded that the only per
son in the building, a young ledger
deeper named Clare West, throw up
his hands. West, however, refused and
a desperate struggle ensued. The rob
bers finally bound West and then pro
ceeded to the outer safe, which they
rifled of a few dollars.
West, in the meantime, managed so
to loosen the cords as to K'L.h's re"
volver and fired four shots. They re
turned the lire, striking him in the
forearm. The robbers escaped through

ELECTION DAY PLAN
Multnomah Senator Would
Give People Chance.
FAIR EXHIBIT NECESSITY
Suitable Building at Punaiua-Pacific
Exposition, Good Roads and
Workmen's Compensation Acts
Sought by Special Balloting.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan.
28. (Special.) To save the state pos
sibly from seeing its hopes of a suit
able building and a suitable exhibit
at the Panama-Pacific exposition
wrecked on the rocks of a referendum
that will be voted on too late, and also
to put into effect as early as possible
laws, if passed, relative to good roads
and workmen's compensation. Senator
Day, of Multnomah County, is advocat
ing a plan to hold a special election so
that important legislation that Is sub
mitted to the referendum may be voted
on within five or six months from the
time the Legislature adjourns.
This plan he announced from the
floor of the Senate today during the
debate on the good roads bill which
has been before that body.
Following the meeting he said he
Intends to place the plan In operation
if he finds that the temper of the Leg
islature Is with him.
"Where Will Orrsoa Bet"
"The Panama-Pacific Exposition ap
propriation, no matter what it may be,
will be submitted to the referendum.
That the referendum will be invoked
against it I have little doubt In event
that it Is, where will Oregon be at the
exposition? The appropriation would
be tied up hand and foot until Novem
ber, 1914, and even with the people o
the state at large in favor of the ap
propriation, a minor percentage of tno
voters by signing petitions could de
lay the passage of the appropriation
act.
"By the time the votes were countod,
even if every person In Oregon voted
In favor of the appropriation, Oregon
would be without a building at the
fair and it would then be so late that
there would be little chance of Oregon
being able to complete a suitable build
ing or a suitable exhibit.
"In addition to this, we have come
to the Capitol to enact important leg
islation. Aside from the fair appro
priation, we are confronted by two
great questions. One is to pass a law
regulating workmen's compensation
and the other is to pass some adequate,
sensible and effective good roads leg
islation. From the conflicting elements,
which have, entered into all of the con
troversies relating to these two legis
lative proposals it is practically cer
tain that no matter what kind of legis
lation we enact the referendum will be
lnvokjd.
"What Will Be Result r
"What will be the result? The work
men's compensation act and the good
roads laws which we pass will be de
layed for two years when they should
be decided earlier. If the people wish
to vote upon them they should be given
a chance.
"But I believe by calling a special
election within five or six months from
the time the Legislature adjourns we
will give the people of the state a suf
ficient opportunity to discuss and study
the measures, to vote Intelligently up
on them and these important questions
will be determined cace for all."

certain the sentiment of the Legisla
ture on the plan that he proposes and
if It is found that the sentiment it
favorable immediate steps will be tak

such a special election as he suggests.
ASTORIA BACKS STATE "TJ"
Woman's Reading Club Adopts Res
olution to Aid Oregon School.
ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 28. (Special.) At
Its meeting held yesterday the woman's
Reading Club of Astoria adopted resolu
tions, urging the Legislature to make
adequate appropriations for the sup
port of the State University. The resolu
tions, copies of which are to be sent to
the members of the Legislature, read
as follows:
Whereas. In view of the rapid industrial,
political and social changes taking place
In the United States especially In Oregon
it Is indispensable that schoola and collegea
should march with the general movement;
and. since o all societies, a democracy like
ours most needs the guidance of trained
thought; and,
tVhereaa, Oregon etands nnenvlably at tne
foot ot the list among the Northern states
In the support ot Its Institutions of higher
education; and.
Whereas. The people voted down, on tne
fifth of November, under a mistaken Im
pulse of economy, a rational proposal. In
the mlllage bill, not merely for the support
of higher education, but for the harmonis
ing and unifying of Its forces In the state;
therefore, be it
Resolved. That we, of the Oregon State
Federation of Women's Clubs, representing
3000 voters of the State of Oregon, do here
by petition the members ot the Oregon State
Legislature to make adequate provision for
the support of Its State University and to
provide deliberative machinery for the Just
and sound solution of the problems of the
relations of the different Institutions of
higher education.
MUITNOMAH LAWYERS SPLIT
New Justice of Peace or District
Courts Cause Worry.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or, Jan. 28.
(Special.) The Multnomah lawyers
who are members of the Multnomah
delegation of the Legislature are ap
parently split on the question of
whether to adopt the Upton bill pro
viding for an additional Justice of the
Peace or the measure Introduced at
the request of Judge Bell, creating
District Courts in Multnomah County.
The bills were considered by the
Multnomah delegation, which decided
to turn them over to the lawyers of
the delegation. Some favor the Dis
trict Court bill, others the additional
Justice of the Peace and some are not
altogether satisfied with either bilL
The Multnomah delegation also de
cided today to recom.mmend the pass
age ota bill requiring Multnomah
County to take over the care of the
bridges at Portland, but this at .the
same time probably will give to the
city the revenue from Jhe streetcar
companies to assist in payment on
bonds.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or, Jan. 28.
(Special.) That the labor unions are
not solidly arrayed against the work
men's compensation bill as framed by
the Governor's Commission is Indicated
by a letter received by A- J. Madsen.

resolutions favoring the act, as pro

disaster was a statement made by M.
J. Buckley, assistant general manager
of the O.-W. R. & N.. before a joint
session of the transportation committee
of the House and Senate Monday. The
bill proposing to increase the speed of
stock trains from an average of 12
to 14 miles an hour was under dis
cussion, the railroad people opposing
the bill. Other bills considered by the
joint committees prescribe the use of
electric headlights only, give the rail
road commission power to eliminate
grade crossings in the construction of
new lines.
HOWARD'S SUBSTITUTE LOSES
Death Knell Tolls to Attempt to Re
peal Rural School Law.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 28.
(Special.) The final knell was tolled
for any attempt to repeal the rural
school supervisory law when the Senate
by a vote of 19 to 8 voted today to
postpone indefinitely Howard's substi
tute House bill No. 12. The Dlmlck
bill to' effect an out and out repeal of
the law was Indefinitely postponed some
time since by the Senate.
The Howard House bill was then
amended, making It practically optional
with the counties as to whether they
should retain rural supervisors. When
a majority of district school boards
i. tw n.HHnn th r.mmtv board to
do away with the supervisors, then they
woulo. be oone away wim, wo mo
of the substitute bill.
Dimlck led the fight to save the
Howard bill, declaring he knew that
Clackamas County does not want the
supervisors and that the Legislature
should aid that county or any other
countv to be rid of them if it is. so
desired.
"This substitute bill is being opposea
because It is out of harmony with the
programme of the State School Su
perintendent and out of harmony with
the programme of the County School
Superintendents," asserted Dimlck.
Miller made a strong plea supporting
the supervisory law, while he in turn
was attacked by Neuner. Neuner
brought up the fight that Miller made
against the normal schools in a previous
Legislature as evidence that Miller is
not a friend of the schools.
When the vote was taken eight
Senators voted against indefinite post
ponement of the bill, these eight being
Burgess, Dimick. McColloch, Neuner.
Patton, Smith (Coos), Stewart, Wood.
Farrell and Hollis were absent.
MI-LIi TO SHORTEN LONG SHIFT
Eighteen Hours Opposed by Smith
of Coos and Curry.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 28.
(Special.) There will be no more 18
hour shifts worked in the Hawley mill
at Oregon City, according to Senator
Smith, of Coos and Curry, chairman of
the industries committee, before which
a hearing on the Dimick eight-hour bill
was held last night. Chairman Smith
said that he had received a long-distance
telephone call today from George
Pusey. manager of the mill, in which
Puaey 'said that arrangements have
been made so that the shift will be
discontinued in the future.
Chairman Smith strongly asserted
last night that as long as he was a
member of the Legislature he would
not allow a continuation of the 18
hour shift and told Pusey that he
should take steps to see that it is dis
continued if he wished to avoid legisla
tive wrath. .
