BURGLARS STEAL MAIL 11 Floyd Bilyeu, Chairman of Commission, Quits Over Recent Shakeup. . to His Patrons and tlie Public WEST DECLINES TO ACT Governor "Crgcs Official to Recon '. eider Step Taken Hastily Meet ing In Ills Absence Is Set ' Forth as ' Cause. SALEM, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) An gered because certain members at a meeting, which he did not attend, re stored officials of the department to positions held by them before Governor West reorganised the Eoard, Floyd Bil yeu, chairman of the State Fish and Game Commission, today tendered hi3 resignation as a member of the Board to the Governor. Believing that action probably ws taken hastily Governor "West declined to accept the resignation and asked Mr. Bilyeu to give it further consideration. At the meeting referred to, "William Finley was restored to the office of State Game "Warden and R. E. Clanton to the office of Master Fish Warden. Theodore Opsund, who upon the re quest of members attending the meet ing resigned as Master Fish Warden, was restored to his old position of clerk of the Board. C. H. Evans was dis missed as State Game Warden. Mr. Bilyeu's letter of resignation is as fol lows: "On Monday, the 16th, inst., an ad journed meeting of the Fish and Game Commission met in Portland and took action which, in my Judgment, should have been considered only at a full Board meeting. I called the regular monthly meeting . on November 12, which was adjourned to meet November 3 3. Business necessitated my absence from the city, and as I was led to be lieve that only routine work would come before the Commission, I left, little thinking that my absence would be taken advantage of. In consequence of the action of tho members of the Board, I hereby tender my resignation and earnestly hope that you will accept the same." J. F. HUGHES MAY BE NAMED Original Member of Game Board Probably to Succeed Bilyeu. If Floyd Bilyeu persists In his In tention to resign from the Fish and Game Commission, it is probable that Governor West will appoint J. F. Hughes, of Salem, to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hughes was one of the original members of the Commission who re signed last Spring. C. F. -Stone and B. E. Duncan, who resigned at the same time, since have been restored to their former offices. If Mr. Hughes Is re stored, the Commission, as constituted before the shake-up last February, will be complete. It- is understood that the resignations were asked for by Gov ernor West at the time, with ths as surance that all members who resigned eventually would be replaced. The Governor, it is said, wanted to depose Mr. Finley and Mr. Clanton and Bought this method of accomplishing that purpose. After Mr. Stone and Mr. Duncan had been reappointed o the Commission, the Board last Monday re stored Mr Finley and Mr. Clanton to their original positions. It is probable, however, that the en tire Commission will be reorganized soon after the first of the year, if not before. But whether any action Is taken be fore the West administration goes out of office, the Commission is certain to undergo changes next May, when the terms of two of its members will ex pire. Under the present law one member of the Commission is named in May of each year for a four years' term. One man's term thus expires each year. The fifth member is elected annually by the four others. Floyd Bilyeu's term as the successor of J. F. Hughes will expire May 12, . 1915. The term of George H. Kelly, the elected member, expires at the same time. Governor Withycombe will have power to name Mr. Bilyeu's successor. Mr. Kelly has declared 'that he will not be a candidate for re-election. Meanwhile many persons who have business with the Fish and Game Com mission are making tentative plans for .legislation that will reorganize the en tire Board. It is probable that a bill will be submitted to the Legislature providing for a salaried Commission of three members, consisting of the game warden, one the master fish warden and one other member, all appointed by the Governor. There are many applicants for the office of State Game Warden. Some of them already have made their wants known to Governor-elect Withycombe. They are appealing on the grounds of party loyalty and think the office should go to a Republican. On the other hand, sportsmen In all parts of the state are asking that W. L. Finley be retained in office. Mr. Finley is recognized throughout the state as an authority on game and game , birds. Is the author of several books kon the subject and has had wide ex . perience in dealing with game of all 1; kinds. v If tho present Commission continues Intact it is probable that the Leglsla ? ture will be asked to define the re . spective duties of the State Game War- den and the Master Fish Warden so 'that the latter official will have ex clusive Jurisdiction over game fish and commercial fish. The Game Warden then would have jurisdiction over all : other game. J Under the present arrangement the Game Warden has charge of game fish . and the Fish Warden of commercial ; fish. This frequently results in con- f lict of authority, it is pointed out. I , . . ! VOTERS CHANGE CHARTER j. Harrisborg- Citizens' Grant More An J thority to City Council.

JUNCTIOS CITT POSTOFFICE IS ROBBED, BUT HEN ESCAPE. Ralldoad Speeder TTaed to Aid FIlRht Ahead of Posse and Search of Woods Proves Futile. EUGENE, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) t wo sacks of mail, a small amount of coin and personal effects were stolen shortly before daybreak today by burglars who entered the Junction City Postoff ice and are believed to have made their escaDe on a railroad smeprii-. Deputy Sheriffs from Lane nci Linn counties searched the woods in the neighborhood of Junction City and Har risburg all day In an effort to find the handcar and gain the trail of the burglars. The robbery is similar to four others In Lane County within the past few months. In which postoffices have been looted and escapes made on railroad speeders. A quantity of registered mail Is be lieved to have been stolen with the two sacks taken this morning. The value of the loot is unknown. Tho postof fice was entered through . a window some time between 3 A. M. and 5 A. M., after the early morning train arrived and before the postmaster reached the office. OWN LAW BALKS U'REN AUTHOR. OK "CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT VIOLATES CLAUSE. Former Candidate Writes That He Has Misplaced Data Showing Receipts and Can't Complete Report. SALEM, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) The author of the corrupt practices act. W. & ITRen, of Oregon City, re cently a candidate for Governor, finds himself unable to comply with one of its most important provisions. In a letter to Secretary of State Olcott to day Mr. U'Ren writes that he has mis placed a memorandum book contain ig his statements of expenses during the campaign and the receipts. The law provides that all receipts must accompany the statements of expendi tures sent to the Secretary of State. "I have no means of replacing the information that was in the account book," writes Mr. U'Ren, "and the best I can do Is to give the following state ment of money I drew for expenditures, which I know to be substantially cor rect as to totals." Mr. U'Ren estimated his total for ex penditures at $540.04. Mr. Olcott fe plied tnat it would be necessary foV the Oregon City lawyer to supply th receipts and suggested to him' that he obtain duplications as soon as possible. It is a peculiar coincidence that Mr. U'Ren. the promoter of the law pro viding for candidates making state ments of expenditures. Is the only one at the recent election thus far, who has failed to live within Its require ments. SALOONS PLAN MERGER BAKER MAX WOULD REDUCE NUM BER OF THIRST PARLORS HALF. CAMPAIGN EXPENSES FILED W. M. Peterson Says He Spent $150 In Behalf of Senator Chamberlain. SALEM, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) The following statements of expenditures curing the recent campaign were filed with Secretary of State Olcott yester day. Will M. Peterson, In behalf of Georse Belief la That Personal Reasons) "Will Keep Operators From Form. Inar Ef emiranle Combines. P . BAKER. Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) A meeting has been called for all Baker saloonmen for tomorrow, at which final action will be taken on a proposal for the 19 saloons now in Baker to erge into ten saloons. C. C. Cox. a saioon man, is back of the movement. whereby it is proposed- that the saloons be coupled, that the . stock from nine of the saloons be moved to nine others and that partnerships be formed be tween each of the owners of the varl ous united saloons. Two meetings have been held but no definite action has been taken. The time for filing applications for renewal of liquor licenses will expire Friday and the saloon men will come to a definite decision before that time. Mr. Cox puts forth as his chief argu ment in favor of such an arrangement tnat tne saloons would be required to pay only hair the aggregate licenses now being 'paid and that there would be a big saving also on rentals, help, etc. The saloon men are far from being a unit in this scheme, and some said today that they thought personal dif ferences would prevent the proposed combination. That all will not apply for renewal of licenses was the belief expressed in some quarters today. ELKS PLAN LIVELY TIME Oregon City Lodge Prepares for Fun 'but Also Remembers Bead.

Thousands of "Washington Signers of Eight-Hour Bill Proposal Said to Be "Unknown to Records Act Made Misdemeanor. OL.YMPIA, "Wash., Nov. 18. (Spe cial.) Secretary of State Howell today certified to the prosecutors of 28 Wash ington counties the names of more than 9000 persons who appear to have violated the initiative and referendum act by signing petitions for initiative measure No. 13, the eight-hour bill, either more than once or without be ing a legal voter, as is required by the statute. The eight-hour bill, a Socialist party measure, was defeated by more than a 2-to-l vote at the recent election. A force of clerks In the office of Secre tary of State now is engaged in going over the petitions presented for eight other initiative measures, taking oft the duplicates and names of illegal voters. In turn these names will be certified back to the county prose cutors for violation of the act. The initiative and referendum act itself provides that ar.y person know ingly" signing the same petition more than once, or signing any petition with out being a qualified voter, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor. To determine whether the signers are qualified voters, in cities the registra tion officials must check the petitions against the registration books, while in non-registration districts some local official must certify to the residence and qualifications of the signer. It Is those signatures, city and county, not checked by local officials that now are being certified back to the county prosecutors for action. The bulk of the irregularities certl- nea concern signers ui petitions wnose names were not certified as those of registered voters. Between 500 and 600 names are certified as having signed the the eight-hour petition more than once. In 11 counties Adams, Asotin. Co lumbia, Garfield, Grant, Island, Lin coln. San Juan, Skamania and Wahkia kum, no irregularities were discovered.

Members of tho committee attended from all over Oregon. The meeting was called to decide If the committee should remain in ex istence.

C. T. U.; Miller Murdoch, Mrs. F. E. Myers, J. T. Wilson, Robert J. Brock, I. W. Walker and many others urged that the committee remain an active force. Mr. Anderson, as a member of the Legislature, warned members of the committee to prepare for a liquor lobby at Salem and said the members of the Legislature would appreciate a lobby from the Committee of One Hundred as representative of the force which had conducted the dry campaign. Orton E.

SALEM. Or.. Nov. 18. (Special.) Rumor was current at the -Statehouse today that Governor West would ap point his private secretary. Miss Fern Hotbs, a member of the State Indus trial Accident Commission when the term of Commissioner Babcock expires the first of next year. Neither the Governor nor Miss Hobbs would deny that the appointment was contemplated, bu Miss Hobbs wanted to know: -Who' told you that, any way?" All her answers to questions regarding her probable appointment were evasive, and were much unlike those made recently, when she posi tively denied that she was being con sidered for the First Assistant Attor ney-Generalship. i naven t told anybody who I am going to appoint," said Governor West. "I expect to reach a decision after De cember 1 and the publio will b advised proptly of the appointment. Miss Hobbs first came into the lime light when Governor West appointed her his - private secretary two years ago. bne succeeded Ralph Watson, who was appointed Corporation Commis sioner. Soon after her appointment she was sent by the Governor on various trips of investigation of reported law violations. Her greatest coup over men officials was when she was dispatched by the executive to Copperfleld to make the town behave Itself. Speculation has been rife for some time as to what plum the Governor would let fall her way. C. D. Babcock, the Commissioner whose term will expire the latter part of the year, was. one of the first men picked by Governor West for the State Industrial Commission. It was the understanding at the time that he was given the short term so he could be re appointed by the Governor Just before COLDS, HEADACHE, NOSE AND HEAD ALL STUFFED UP "Pape's Cold Compound" ends a cold or grippe in a few hours.
