MEASURE LAID TO EX-GOVERNOR DIES Plan to Embarrass Adminis tration Suspected in Resolu tion by Miss Clarke. MR. THOMPSON SLAPS BACK Woman senalor Proposes Referring Amendment to Give Governor Iti-rht to Itemove Officials for Dereliction of Duty. STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or.. Feb. S (Special.) What was generally be lieved an attempt of ex-Governor West to eirbarra.s0 the present administra tion was given its death blow by the Senate today, when a resolution of Miss Kathryra Clarke. .Senator from Douglas County, for the subnil.ston of an amendment to the people eivinir the Governor power to remove District At lornej'E. Sheriffs and Constables for dereliction of duty was defeated. It was the belief of a large majority of the Senators that section ISO. laws of 1913, give" the executive sufficient authority in the removal of officials harsert with not enforcing the laws. That section provides for the filing of charges asainst the alleged unfaithful officials and henrin(f before Circuit .ludees. It was the contention of the Senators -who spoke that it would be undemocratic to pive the Governor the power of summary removal, and that rhn persons accused should at least have their day in court. Veiled ltrfrreace -Made. President Thompson expressed the trntimpnt of the majority of the mem bers when speaking- to a sutrsestton of Senator Garland that the proposed amendment be amended so that the Governor may suspend for 99 days, pending an investigation. official named with derelictions, and asked that the opinion of Governor Withy combe be obtained at once upon it. The President said: I would not entertain such a motion unless the Senate demanded It. for then the people behind the introduction of that resolution would accomplish what they desired." It was evident, that Tresiuent Thomp son referred chiefly to ex - Governor West. Senator ISiimhuni. chairman of the totnmittee on resolutions, in presenting the report adverse to the resolution of -Miss Clarke, said that it had been found tie 1913 law pives the Governor suffi cient authority ti have removed offi cials who failed in the performance of their duties. He liked tne law because It also Kave the accused persons their day In court. I.ras ltadl-al Measure Favored. Senator Garland said he favored the motive of the resolution, but thought It I went too far. The prohibition law, he aid. would entail many new duties upon the District Attorneys and the Governor, and the people will look to the executive for the enforcement of the law. He thought it not rlxht to hold the Governor responsible for the enforcement of lh:il law unless he was Siven more power than he hud at present. "I suKKesl." continued Senator Gar laiul. " an amendment providing that the Governor be empowered to suspend for !n days, pending an Invesusca.ion oi offendinir officials.

The Senator Fnld the amendment In its present form was too far reaching, but the Governor should be K'ven more suthorlly because oi the prohibition law. Senator Hoser snid he had Intro duced a bilf w ill orizin;; the executive to assign the Attorney-General, or one of uts deputies, to districts in which it was believed the le al official was not doins; his duty.

Senator K tluhcr favored trlvins the executive more power, hut not as much as that "enjoyed by Hoss Tweed or any of the old hoys." Senator linphnm said after the ses sion that the firrt time the resolution was discussed by the committee all the members were not present. Somebody, he sittd. sutrirested that inasmuch as the Governor hsd expressed similar views in his m-'ssnpe it oupht to be adopted, and that pave rise to the re port that th committee had passed upon it favorably. "The commutee htvir.it discussed the resolution at a Inter meetintr." con tinued the Senator, "sent for Miss Clarke to obtain her views. The remark was made that al the members of the committee were against the resolution and then she salt! she had written to Governor Wi'iliji'i'inhe. snd was wait inR to hear from him r.-Kardinil the resolution. It was after .-he hail heard from the Governor. I presume, thai the committee went to ce the executive." The Senator anl el that meeting Governor Wtthvcombe said he was sat isfied with the law passed in 1913. Senator Garland sc.id he had never beard Governor Vithycomte say he had all the power desired, and asked that tne Senate recess for five minutes until the desire of the Governor could be learned, adding Hist if the Governor was satisfied he would withdraw his amendment. 11 was in answir to this that Presi dent Thompson said he would not en tertain such a motion unless the Sen ate demanded it. It also aDDlies to persons who con spire to commit any crime, providing one of the conspirators does an act to effect the object of the conspiracy. J.n committee on revision of laws, to which the measure was referred, amended it so that it now provides that the punishment for conspiracy to com mit an offense snail Jn no case d areater than is provided by the exist insr laws for the crime itself. Miss Townes original bill also provided minimum fine of 100. but the com rr.ittee's amendment cut this down to 10.

SENATORSAND DRYS TALK OVER CHANGES Endeavor Is to Shield Prohib itory Measure if Referen - dum Is Invoked. LIQUOR PLOT IS ALLEGED .Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp Says Attempt Is Made to Create Discord. Judge I.iUIerield Stands Rack of BilkPassed. STATE CAPITOU Salem, Or.. Feb. 8. (Special.) Proposed amendments to the pohibition bill passed by the House last Friday now are beins considered by members of the Senate as well as by friends of the "dry" movement, who want to take every necessary step to protect the measure from an unfavor able vote of the people in the event the referendum is invoked agramst it. Judge Littlefield, chairman of the House committee on alcoholic tralflc, is standing firmly behind the measure as it passed the House. He will consent to a few minor changes, among them one suggested by W. F. Woodward, of Portland, in The Oregonian tnis morn lng, regarding the sale of alcohol by druggists. He will ask the Senate to cut out the word, "grain" bo that all kinds of pure alcohol may be sold. In fact Judge Littlefield intended to make this chanKe before the bill passed the House last Friday, but he decided to allow it to be made by the Senate. Woman Alleges Plot. Members of the Anti-Saloon League, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and prohibition workers from various parts of the state now are here and urging the Senate to pass the House bill with the fewest possime amendments. They will consent to amendments only if its shown that such changes will serve to unite the prohibition forces behind wnatever oui finally is passed. The liquor people now are trying to create discord in our own ranks, said Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp, head of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, today. "While the bill as it stands may not he radical enough to suit most of our members we wm siana Be hind it." Dr. J. E. Anderson, member or tne uli-oholie traffic committee and a mem hr nf The Committee of One Hundred, Is preparing to take a mail vote of Tnembprq of the latter committee to learn their attitude on the present bill, More Draslic Bill Axked. Members of the House committee have received numerous complaints from persons who say the bill as it stands now is not drastic enough, but over in the senate mere seems io m a disposition to regard it as too radi cal. Jt is probable that the House win consent to some crtangea in the measure to meet pronounced objections or tne Senate, but Judge Littlefield says he M-m nrt consent to a substitution of some provisions originally contained in the Committee or One Munoreo s uwi, which became House bill No. 1.

Original Limit I.urltr. While there has been criticism of the bill on account of tiie quantity or liquor that may be siuppeu in some thinking the limit too high and others not high enough Judge Littlefield de- lares that these objections are out io le liberal provisions originally made by the Committee or one nunorea in providing for the importation of five gallons of whisky and zu ganons oi malt liquor In any four successive weeks.

Representative Introduces MfMurc i Many Other Important Bills Before Judiciary Body. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or Feb. 8. (Special.) A bill to place the state udiciary on a non-partisan basis, itnilar to that proposed and defeated at the November election, is one or the measures pending berore the judi ciary committee in the House. The measure was introduced by Rep resentative Handley, of Tillamook, and is indorsed by some of the leading at torneys in the state. The committee has taken no action and may he gov erned by the fact that the people re jected a similar plan at the polls, although by a narrow margin. Before the committee is a bill by Hlnkle providing a state system o an nuities. It virtually empowers the state to go into the life insurance business, the money to be invested in irrigaton projects and other public works. Representative Lafferty s bill em powering the state to develop idle content properties and build roads with the cement also is before this committee. Two measures by Representative Hare aimed to relieve congestion in the courts also are before the judiciary committee.

The measure aimed to provide severe fine and im prisonment for any person who "di rectly or indirectly" made any false statement regarding his own financial condition or that of any firm or cor poration with which he might be con nected to procure credit or cash. Representatives Allen, Davey. Eaton, Kelly.

Friends of the Oregon Ag ricultural College won a victory today when the House refused to pass the Schuebel bill providing for that insti tution to perform S35.000 worth of spe cial industrial and extension work out of the receipts of its four-tenths millage tax. Representative Schubel and other sup porters of the bill contended that the proceeds of the millage would net the Agricultural College a sufficient amount of money over and above the proceeds under the direct appropriation system to enable the school to take care of this special work that his measure assigned to it.

These departments rormeny were cared for under the continuing appro priation system, and were wiped out by passage of the Schuebel bill last week, which reepala all the continuing appro priations with the exception of the mill age taxes and $50,000 for agricultural experiment work. Defeat of the measure today leaves these several funds depleted unless spe cial appropriation bills are passed to accommodate them.
