FEW LAWYERS WANTED chenics for Appellate Bodies to lie licve Congestion and Rises in Salaries Are Submitted to Legislature at Olympla. OLYMPIA. W"ash.. Feb. 5. (Special.) Creation of a "Special Hlsh Court of Impeachment" to try charges preferred asaint Judges of the Supreme and Su perior Courts, as a substitute for the judicial recall, was the novel proposal formally laid before the Washington Legislature today by the State Bar As sociation and referred to judiciary committees of both houses for consider ation. A constitutional amendment will be necessary to carry the plan into ef fect. The Bar Association plan calls for appointment by the Governor of a court of 12 men, not more than five of whom are to be lawyers, to hear charges of "corruption in office, tyranny or op pression, moral turpitude or mental or physical incompetency." When such charges are preferred against any jud this court would have power to remove the jud.?e If a majority considers the charge sustained. Provision is made that not more than six members of the court are to belong to one political party. A Judge is to be designated by the Governor to preside over the court of impeachment, but to have no vote. More Court AIwo Wanted. Jude O. R. Holcomb. the latest mem ber of the State Supreme Court, is author of the unique proposal, which, with, other recommendations of the Bar Association, was presented today by C. ill Shaffer. Its secretary. Frank lie eves, president of the association, is a member of the Legislature, The other recommendations of the Bar Association are for amendments of the constitution to allow the creation of two or more appellate courts to re lieve the Supreme Court, which is dropping behind with its work, and to allow increases In the salaries of Su perior Judges from $4000 to 35000 in counties of the tirst class, apd from $::i00 to $4000 In other counties, and other minor changes. The legislature was In session only about one hour today, adjourning be fore 11 o'clock, to meet agaii Monday, thus allowing members to take the regular week-end junket to Seattle and Tacoma. Asotin Bill Passes House. Puriug this time, however, the House rushed through its regular calendar, passing several bills, among them the italsey measure, appropriating $35.00) to reimburse Asotin County for its pur chase of the Lewiston-Clarkston bridge. The last Legislature voted bonds for the bridge purchase but the Supreme Court held the issue invalid and Asotin County met the emergency by raising sufficient money to pr this state's share of the price. The Senate made no attempt to take up its calendar, and the measures set for consideration today, including the proposed $4.000,ono Capitol bond issue, went over to next week. The 1 1 members of the legislative committee to represent Washington in the conference with Oregon legislators on the regulation of Columbia lUver n .shine:, l-ft today for Portland, to meet the Oregon committee, after a new member had been added by each house. The members of the committee are now Senators French of Clark, Kleeb of Pa cific, Stevenson of Skamania, Imus or Cowlitz and Stelner of King, and .Rep resentatives Sims of Jefferson, Low man of Skagit, Harris of Chehalis, Sly of Skamania, lloinly of Pierce and Craw fort! of Klickitat. OLY.MPI A HAS FKEAK BILLS One of First to Appear Is Against "Unlawful Metallic deception." OLYMPTA, Wash.. Feb. 5. (Special.) The 14 th Washington Legislature until this week has been remarkably free from freak bills, but a series of measures of this kind have made their appearance. "Cnlawful metallic deception is made a crime under the terms of S. B. 178, introduced by Senator Palmer, of King. Under this bill the sale of a tin vessel represented as aluminum, for instance. would authorize the county prosecutor to subpena witnesses and enforce tes timony under oath, which is not per mitted In investigation of murder or other felony cases under existing law, and on conviction of an agent the com pany making the sale would be liable to revocation of its charter. This meas ure has been referred appropriately to the committee on irrigation and arid lands. Some of the other freak bills intro duced this week include H. B. 80, by Representative Croft, of Pierce, "regu lating the manufacture and sale of mattresses, comforters, pillows and other articles of bed clothing. H. H. No. S:t, by Representative -Wilkey of Pierce, to compel hotel proprietors to furnish it-Inch bed sheets to guests, and barring roller towels and the com mon drinking cup; H. B. S7. by Repre sentative Croft, regulating the practice of chiropody, and requiring a state li cense for removal of "all superficial ex crescences such as corns, warts and callossities on human hands and feet, and also the treatment of bunions." RADICALS ARE PLEASED Continued From Firs Vage. ) both Mr. l.ewts and Mr. liarrow arose to a question of personal privilege. Mr. Lewis assured everybody that Mr. l.ittlel'ield had not referred to him. Mr. Harrow admitted that he was the t.-irirct for the shafts, hut denied their triuh as to that provision of the bill which permits home shipments in any quantities. Iliblleal Citation "Mndr. Mr. Harrow Is some little sputterer. He has talked on so many occasions when there was no reason for talking that now when he arises nearly every body laiiRhs. but I think he hit the mark this afternoon. Typo is too cold and formal to reproduce his eloquence, but. it culminated in the brilliant ob servation that "When l.ucifer attacked the hosts of heaven the I,ord on high did not offer to compromise by taking a little of his hell fire." And that hits it off pretty well. I am n-tt now admitting, as Mr. Harrow im plied, that alcoholic beverages are hell lire, but the mere fact that this bill places a small limit upon personal use of liquor in the home implies not a thins in the world but that IntoxicatinK liquor is an evil that it is dangerous to have around. If possession and use in the home are a menace to societ when there Is no family limitation on quantity, they are a menace to society "when there is a UralU Assuming that liquor in the home is evil, the .House bill may be likened, .to aJoryVieea fejbota jarUs 1 -action. law nrMfh nrmit the theft of tWO f chickens, but declares the theft of more than two to be a crime. The logical law is one that permits no liquor at all in the home or a law that makes the blue sky the limit. The practically unanimous vote on the bill was not unlocked for when the House convened this afternoon. Last night a definite effort was made to round up enough votes either to cut out some of the important provisions or else defeat it and substitute the Card well bill, which is about two inches long. But by noon the prospective op position to the measure had vanished. No member had the heart even to talk against it. I fancy quite a number were willing to pass the bill along to the Senate to see what would happen, and it is quite freely predicted that there will be events to record when the meas ure comes up there for final consid eration. Opportunity for Delay Noted. This is an opportune moment to re view some of the provisions of what Henry A no Young. Henry Ano Young, a pioneer of 1852. died at the family resi dence, 443 Larrabee street, late Thursday night. Mr. Young was born in Wabash County, Illinois, June 6, 1840. He crossed the plains in 1S52 with his brother-in-law and only sister, Will iam and Mrs. De'ia Young Hutch inson, so well known in Union County, Oregon. After arriving in Portland he made his home for a time with Dr. R. B. Wilson, and was an early student in the old Portland Academy and Female Seminary. In 1854 he began learning the trade of a sawyer, and followed that avocation sev eral years in the early Portland sawmills. He enlisted in Cap tain William Strong's company of Washington Territory Volun teers, lie married Miss Helen A Carr in this city in 18G1. In the latter part of 1S71 he became associated with the late Harvey A. Hogue in the Alexander S. Ab ernethy sawmill at Oak Point, Wash., and lived there 27 years, during all of which time Mrs. Young was postmistress. He is survived by his widow, also by the following children: Mrs. James Qulnn, Stockton. Ca!.; Mrs. James Scott, and ClauJo Ycung, Winni peg, Canada: -Mrs. Kugh Fo-stor.

It would be open, therefore, to referendum and delay until November, 1916, unless a special election be held in the mean' time. The limit of splritous or vinous liquors that one may import from without the state in any four weeks is two quarts. This applies to a per son or family. In lieu thereof the per son or family may ship in 24 quarts of malt liquors. The carriers have power to admin ister oaths and every consignee must sign an affidavit that he is over 21 vears. old. Is not an habitual drunkard. that the liquor is to be used for law ful purposes and that its delivery to him will not exceed the legal limit to which he is entitled. These affidavits are to be delivered to the County Clerk for checking pur poses and they are to be open to pub lic inspection. Dragra-iJitft' Sales Restricted Onlv pure grain alcohol may be sold on physicians' prescriptions and th sale thereof by druggists is surrounded by substantial restrictions.

The Senate today passed House bill 462, appropriating $25,000 for the payment of salaries of legis lators and clerks.

T IfitiMi t-'3" if'' afcttilfc , j mnai mitt- -nytai j E Part to Extend School Election Franchise Is Cause. CLAUSE TO BE ELIMINATED Multnomah Senator Likely to Get Through Senate Revised Bill to Abolish Annual School Meetings in Portland. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 5. (Special.) A provision to extend the right to vote at scnool elections to non taxpaying parents of children from 4 to 20 years old caused the Senate today to postpone Indefinitely action on the bill introduced by Senator Moser4 to abolish the annual school meetings in Portland. The Multnomah Senator will ask for a reconsideration tomorrow and will present a new bill, eliminating the objectionable feature, which probably will be passed by a unanimous vote. The section objected to was in part as follows: "Any citizen of this state, male or female, who is 21 years of age and has resided in the district 30 days Immedi ately preceding the meeting of election, and has property In the district, as shown by the last county assessment, and not assessed by the Sheriff, on which he or she is liable or subject to pay a tax, or is the parent of a child between the ages of 4 and 20 years, in clusive, and a registered voter in said district, shall be entitled to vote at any school election in said district." -Senator Day described as vicious also the last clause of the measure, which provided that the School Board of Port land may reject all bids for repairs costing more tnan f.duu. ana mm them through its own shop and repair department. Increase of Expenses Feared. Senator Uarland in presenting a mi nority reDort of the committee on edu cation signed only by him said there was no demand for an extension of the franchise, and declared that the teach ers were supporting the measure be cause they realized if the franchise were not limited to taxpayers more money would be provided for the schools. He suggested that it would De well for the taxpayers to have a loDby at the Legislature. Senator Moser declared that many or ganizations had urged the adoption of the clause extending the franchise to non-taxpaying parents. Senator Langguth said ne ravorea an extension of the franchise to include all voters. Senator Strayer said that If the bars were thrown down to non-taxpayers to vote, the school expense would be come much larger at once. Senator Bingham asserted that the various women's clubs said to be work ing for the bill had been deluded into thinking they were doing good. The Senator declared the time would come when a property qualification would become necessary in all voting. Senator Day said the state had schools as efficient as any state, and there was no reason for placing additional burdens upon the taxpayers. Senator Kellaher said there was a well-formed organization back of the bill to drag down the school system. He wanted the annual school meetings in Portland abolished, but he could not support the bill because of other fea ture. Tho majority report of the commit tee was signed by Hawley, Farrell. Vlntoa and I. S. Smith. Senators supporting the bill were: Clarke, Farrell, Hawley. Langguth, Moser, Perkins, I. S. Smith and Vinton. Senators voting against it were: Bar rett, Bingham, Bishop, Burgess. Butler. Cusick, Day, Dimick, Garland, Hollis, Kellaher, Kiddle. LaFollette, Lelnen weber, McBride, Ragsdale, J. C. Smith. Stewart, Von der Hellen, Wood and Thompson. BlXIi HITS COURT REPORTERS Senator Moser Also Would Seek Ac tion Against Ton-Citizens. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 5. (Special.)

County 5Eay Build Bridges. STATE CAPITOI Salem. Or.. Feb. S. (Special.) Senator Garlands Dill Drovidine that County Courts be per mitted to reject all bids for bridges costing more than $5.10 and build them themselves was passed by the Senate today. It is provided that the courts must obtain estimates of tne cost oe fore lettinar the contracts, but the esti mates must be kept secret. When the bill was first argued several Senators insisted that if a bid came within the estimate it must be accepted, but it was not included in the bill as passed. Sena tor Garland believes the law will save the counties a great deal of money that now goes to bridge construction com panies. Homicide Penalty Bill Passes. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Feb. 5. (Special.) Senator Langguth's bill making the penalty for homicide In the second degree imprisonment in the pen itentiary of from 20 to 30 years was passed by the Senate today. It has a saving clause relating to persons al ready convicted of second-degree mur der. In a bill introduced by the same Senator which was passed v ednesday the punishment for first-degree homi cide is life imprisonment. The changes were necessary because of the amend ment passed by the people abolishing capital punishment. " Less Severe Dog Laws Jfavord. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Feb. 5. (Special.)

COMPENSATION" BILL IS KILLED Points in Mr. Irvin's Measure Con sidered Covered Already. STATE CAP4TOL, Salem. Or.. Feb. 5. (Special.) Representative Irvin's bill to increase the benefits of workingmen who are injured in places where the employer has intentionally failed to install safety appliances in accordance with the provisions of the workmen s compensation act was indefinitely post poned by the House today. The House took this action because this point al ready has been covered by the amend ments to the workmen's compensation code passed a few days ago. The irvin bill would have entitled the workman to 50 per cent additional com pensation from the fund paid by his respective employer if it could be proved that the employer Intentionally failed to install the safety appliances required by statute. Under the amend ments previously passed by the House the workman will not be entitled to this additional money, but the employer will be subject to severe penalties and criminal proceedings. An inducement also is offered the employer to install such devices by reducing his premiums in proportion to the reduction of accidents. ASSESSORS PROPOSE MEASURE District Attorneys Would Be Re lieved of Advisory Duties. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 5. (Special.)

STATE REGULATION GRIFFITH WANTS RAILROAU COM MISSION TO DEAL WITH JITNEY. Matter Laid Before Senate Committee and Corporation Officials In dorse Perkins Bill. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 5. (Special.) Declaring that the jitney bus was being operated in Portland as a common carrier, and if granted a franchise by the city should be placed under the regulation of the State Rail way Commission, the same as the streetcar company. Franklin T. Grif fith, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, tonight urged the passage of Senate bills providing for this before the joint committees on municipal affairs. Mr. Griffith said that the bills were not intended to deprive the city of any of its rights in regulating bus oper ations, the only purpose being that in so far as the Railroad Commission has control of the street railway com pany it should control the bus oper ations. Mr. Gritnth explained that the jitney bus operators were yet without a fran chise, and asked by Senator Garland, chairman of the committee, how they were running, replied: "They are "running loose." He said that no reliable service could be given by a common carrier unless it had a definite route and definite schedules of operating cars. ' The State Railroad Commission fixed the sched ules and rate of charge of the railroad company, and should have the same jurisdiction of the jitney, he said. One of the bills places the bus under the same jurisdiction as the streetcar company in the city and the other the same as the steam and other railroads outside the city. Corporation heads Indorse the Per kins bill, which provides that "no pub. lie utility shall henceforth begin the construction of a street railroad, or of a line, plant or system, or any exten sion of such street railroad, or line or plant, or system, without having first obtained from the Railroad Commis sion a certificate that the present or future public convenience and neces sity require, or will require such con struction."

SALARY CUT CAUSES FEUD Attempt to Increase Rate on High way Bonds So as to Dispose of $200,000 Issue Precipitates Attack on Board in Senate. BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 6. (Special.) Signs of trouble brewing in the Legis lature came to the aurface today indi cating that some bitter conilicts may develop before the present session is many days older. In the House Gover nor Alexander was under fire. In the Senate northern members attacked the State Highway Commission, charging discrimination. These developments, to gether with the passage of the Senate local option bill, which, if enacted, will close every brewery now operating In local option counties, were the features of the legislative programme. Attacks on the Governor developed in the House when that assembly was considering the minority economical programme to cut salaries of ail state officials. Including the Governor, as rec ommended by the chief executive in his message. The net result was cutting the salary of one official. State Trews- DAHO STORM BREWS Save the Babies. NFANT.

Neither do we hesitate to say that many of theso infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.

They came up in committee of the whole today. Mr. EdcJblute, of Kootenai, opened the attack by declaring he considered it presumption on the part of the Demo crats to attempt to cut salaries of Re publican officials because their party had obtained an "entering wedge in the Statehouse." To this Mr. Clark, Democrat, retorted that Governor Alex ander was elected on an economy pro gramme by a plurality of 7000, and in sisted on economy not for his party but for the taxpayers. The sincerity of the Governor was questioned. An attempt to pass a Joint concur rent resolution to dispose of the $200, 000 highway bond Issue voted two years ago and to raise the Interest rate to 4a per cent and ieil them to the Con tinental and Commercial Trust and Sav ings Bank, of Chicago, drew from north ern Senators an attack on the Highway Commission. They succeeded in pre venting its passage. They declared the Highway Commission had done little for Northern Idaho in the matter of con structing highways, but had discrimi nated against the Panhandle in favor of the South.
