OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 4. (Special.
A drastic measure legalizing prize
fighting, creating a state athletic com
mission to have control of fiyrht exhi
bition and repealing all the anti
prize fight laws in the "Washington
code, excepting the one prohibiting
betting or gambling on fights, was
killed in the Senate here today only
to arise and enter the ring again ap
parently with mora strength than ever.
But for the fact that several of the
Senators changed their votes when they
saw Via bill had been defeated, the
meaEure would have been killed by
only a few votes1 As It was the vote
was 15 to 26 against its passage.
No sooner had the roll been called
than notice of reconsideration was Riv
en by Senator Metcalf, one of those
who opposed and voted against the
bill. The action was taken as an Indi
cation that an attempt will be made
to win over enough votes to put the
measure through on another roll call.
It is believed that with a few amend
ments eliminating sone of the present
objectionable features, the bill will re
ceive the favorable vote of several who
opposed it today. If the vote Is lined
u:j as it was In today's call only a few
members, will have to be won over to
put It through.
Bill Irovldew Commlasliin.
The bill provides for the creation ot
a commission of five members to nave
sole direction, management and con
trol of and Jurisdiction over all boxing
and sparring matches and exhibitions
to be conducted by any club, corporation
or association. Before any bout is
staged the promoters are required to
apply to the commission for a permit
which may be granted or rejected at the
discretion of the commission or may
be rejected after granting and before
the bout Is staged.
The bill prohibits decisions and 11m.
its bouts to 10 rounds. A bond of $10.
000 is required from promoters to guar
antee observance of the law and dras
tic provisions are made against gam
bling. The measure contains a section
providing for the repeal of sections of
the code now prohibiting prize fight
ing. Both branches of the Legislature
steamed up today and broke all records
in passing bills. The House passed
10 measures and the Senate five.
Among the important House measures
passed was House bill 164, providing
for an appropriation of J300.000 for the
erection of a new building at the State
Normal School at Cheney, a bill re
quiring counties instead of property
owners to keep weeds off of the public
roads and a bill making non-support
and family desertion gross misdemean
ors. The Senate measures passed were for
the most part relative to taxation, one
measure providing for the taxation of
fish traps, another for taxation of
steamboats on the Washington side of
- the Columbia River, and a third limit
ing -the time for appealing from taxes
fixed by the Board of Equalization to
six days.
Uiy Haaband BUI Piuh.
The House bill relating to family
desertion and non-support Is consid
ered one of the most drastic measures
passed by the House during the pres.
ent session. It Is known as the lazy
husband act. It makes It a gross mis
demeanor for any person to fail if phy
sically able to care for. or to desert
dependent minor children or a wife. In
addition It prescribes a punishment of
not more than one year in jail, at labor
on the public roads at a wage of $1.60
a day. the same to be paid to the per
sons dependent upon the prisoner for
support. The bill had but one negative
vote, that of Grass of Seattle.
The recent notice from Governor
Lister that he desired the state tax
commission abolished because there is
nothing for Its members to do resulted
in a number of bills being introduced
in both houses today prescribing more
duties for the commission. The bills
are an attempt to save the necks of
the present commissioners, it Is de
clared.
The much-talked-of teachers' pension
bill, which hus been before the Senate
and House committees on education
for two weeks, was returned to both
branches. In the House the committee
report favored the bilL In the Senate
was a majority report in favor and
minority report against its passage.
The bill took Its place on the calendar
and is expected to come up In both
branches before tho end of the week.
Militia Bill Chopped.
The Senate chopped to ' pieces a
lengthy bill proposing all manner of
attractive changes and Increases of pay
and expense accounts for officers of
the National Guard and then passed the
measure. Even a provision permitting
the purchase by officers of braid and
frills at the expense of the state was
cut out. Senator Nichols declared there
is too much gilt braid In the guard
now without having the state pay for
more. The bill as passed cuts out
everything that would entail any ad
ditional expense tothe state.
A message from ex-Governor Hay.
vetoing a bill passed by the last Legis
lature permitting druggists to soil
liquor provided a record of sales is kept,
was sustained by the Senate. A bill re
quiring the tax commission to require
a statement of the true consideration
Tor the transfer of real property be
. fore a deed may be recorded, was In
definitely postponed In the Senate.
The Judiciary committee of the House
reported favorably on a bill leaving
to the decision of the Jury the question
of capital punishment. A bill was in
troduced in the House by Newman, of
Whitman County, abolishing the pres
ent system of conveying voters to the
polls on election day in carriages.
A bill was Introduced in the House
placing nurses under the eight-hour
law for women.

STATE CAPITOU Salem, Or., Feb.
4. (Special.) House bills today
reached the high number of 498.
Thursday Is the day set by the House
for limiting bills, and it is said that
many more would be filed before the
end of the time limit. It Is believed
that the House will work all day
Saturday this week and that, begin
ning next week, night sessions will
be held In an attempt to get through
with the tremendous pile of bills.
Smith of Coos In tlie identical language
of the bill passed by the people.
Explanation Are Many.
Stewart and Wood were the only two
voting against the bill, but there was a
number of explanations.
Thompson declared that he intended
to vote In favor of it and expressed
himself as shocked that there should
be In the Senate anyone who would
believe that the people could make a
mistake. "I cannot believe for a
minute that anyone of the people would
err he said, with a trace of sarcasm
in his voice, and voted for the bill. Bar
rett stated he also would vote in favor
of It because the people had passed it,
but expressed himself as certain that
provisions of the bill were wrong and
that the people would live to rue the
day that it was passed.
Stewart in explaining his vote against
the bill declared that he did not agree
that the people cannot make mistakes
and believed that the people, or a large
majority of them that voted in favor
of It, were laboring under a misap
prehension as to its contents.
People's) Vote Abided By.
Wood, in voting no, stated that he,
too, did not believe In tampering with
the people's laws. Intimating that In-,
asmuch as the bill was passed without
an enacting clause it should be left
to the people to substitute the enacting
clause. Calkins took practically the
same stand, but voted In favor of the
measure.
Throughout tho voting there were
strong indications that the bill was
considered in many of its respects as
too drastic In its provisions, but at the
same time indications were plain that
the Legislature, as far as the Senate is
concerned at least, will abide by the
vote of the people as expressed at an
initiative or referendum election
whether it believes the people were
right or wrong.

initely postponed Carpenter's House

tion of the Senate.

When the House convened Monday

"Well, I tried to get it through, but
the Governor slipped one over and got
In ahead," said Mr. Nolta, amid laugh

bringing tho gavel down with a whack.
"Let the business proceed."

jy EMBERS of the Senate committee
1 I who examined the Eastern Oregon
Branch Insane Hospital had one "put
over" on them by the House members
of the committee. Senator Burgers had
secured a special car and outlined a
diagram giving the committeemen a
chance to select their berths. On the
diagram the Senators were given the
lower berths.. As a result they were
leisurely In arriving at the depot to buy
their tickets. When the Senators ar
rived the Representatives had been
there ahead of them and, disregarding
the diagram, had taken their pick of the
lower berths.
"You belong to the upper house, your
place is In the upper berths." they
chirped at the Senators. President
Malarkey arrived later than the others,
however, and in turn pulled a trick
by Becurlng the drawing-room that
the rest of them had overlooked.
