The exodus began early In the morn Ins .and continued until late in the evening. Every train on both the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Elec tric carried Its quota. With them went the usual complement of Job-seekers. The imperial Hotel, which resembled a political convention hall during the closing days of last week, virtually was deserted of lawmakers last night. A lew Multnomah County members will remain here tonight, and leave for alem on the early trains this morn ing. The opening sessions are sched uled for 10 o'clock this morning, but they usually are late on the opening Say. Robert N. etanfleld, leading candi date for the Speakership, left with a party of friends on the Oregon Elec tric at 4:40. Among those accompany ing him were Roy W. Ritner, Repre sentative from Umatilla; Vernon A. Forbes and Denton G. Burdick, of Crook, Deschutes, Grant, Jeffereon, Klamath and Lake, and a number of ilultnomah County members. T. II. Handler En Konte. T. B. Handley, Senator-elect from Lincoln, Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill, and Ira C. Barber, Repre sentative from Yamhill, left on the late Southern Pacific train: B. P. Cornelius, of Washington County, also went up last night. Other "Washington County members will pro ceed to Salem direct from their homes. Samuel Paisley, who was a member of the laBt House from Washington County, will be present at the coming session as a Representative of the State Taxpayers' Association, which fathered the six-per-cent tax limita tion amendment adopted at the recent election. Robert E. Smith, of Rose burg, will be associated with Mr. Paleley in this work. Oscar W. Home, who also was a member of the last House, will be at Salem as the Representative of the Central Labor Council of Portland, and of the State Federation of Labor. Charles Grossman will be with him. Another ex-Legislator who will be In the "third house" this year is James S. Stewart, of Foesll. He will repre eent the Farmers' Union. It is prob able that C. E. Spenee, Master of the Etate Grange, will look after the In terests of that organization. Lobby Exclusion Discussed. The usual talk about excluding the lobbyists from the capitol was heard around the hotel corridors yesterday, but it is Improbable that any action will result from it. The last session wasted nearly a day in debating the lobby question, and wound up, as usual, without doing anything. Unless come complications develop over the organization of ' the two Houses It Is possible that both Houses will adjourn for the week end on Thursday. In no event is it expected that the sessions of the first week will be prolonged past Friday. After the first week, however. It Is possible that the mill will grind eix days in the week, with little chance for the legislators to get home for week-end visits. While the constitution Imposes no limit on the length of the session, it prevents the legislators from drawing pay for more than 40 daye. All efforts are directed from the outset toward keeping within the 40-day limit. SENATOR'S STANDING DfmiOTJS Attorney-General Refuses to Give Opinion in Wilbur Case. SALEM, Or., Jan. 7. (Special.) With the constitutional provision that each house of the Legislature shall be judge of the election, qualifications and returns of lte own members, Attorney- General Brown, when questioned today, was not inclined to give an opinion as to the eligibility of George B. Wil bur to a seat In the State Senate as a Senator from Hood River and Wasco counties. "The question Is one that it Is purely up. to the Senate to decide, and I have no authority to make any statement In the matter. As a. purely legal ques tion the constitution provides, in effect, that no person is eligible to a seat in the Legislative Assembly who holds a lucrative office or appointment in this etate or under the United States, pro vided, that officers in the militia, to which there is attached no annual sal ary, and the office of postmaster, where the compensation does not ex ceed $100 per annum, shall not be deemed lucrative." It is understood that the question of foenator-eiect Wilbur's eligibility to hold office will be raised before the credentials committee of the Senate bv Roy D. Smith, Hood River County mem ber of the Republican State central committee. Mr. Wilbur Is Captain of the Twelfth Company, Coast Artillery Corps. Oregon National Guard, and It la said that a salary of $500 a year at taches to such office. Mr. Wilbur is I Democrat. DRCJTKEN CHACFFEtJR TARGET Senator Dimick Has Bills to Curb Motor Accidents. OREGON CITT, Or., Jan. 7. (Spe cial.) The Intoxicated driver of an au tomobile, who endangers not only his own life, but also the life and prop erty of others, is the target of a bill prepared by state Senator Walter A. .DlmlcK, or this county. The increasing number of automo bile accidents due to drunken drivers has convinced Senator Dimick that more drastic legislation is needed. This bill will make it a misdemeanor to employ a person as an automobile driver who is known to be an habitual drunkard.

GO FORWARD, PASTOR'S ADVICE Some Christians Have Broken Main springs, Says Rev. R. A. Sawyer. "There are some Christians with broken mainsprings," said -Rev. R H. Sawyer, pastor of the East Side Chris tian Church, in his sermon yesterday on "Go Forward to What?" "A watch Is no good if it doesn't go. An engine is valueless if it doesn't run. So is a Christian if he doesn't go forward." he said. "Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward," was the text. Rev. Mr. Sawyer explained the predica ment of the children of Israel when they saw Pharaoh's army behind them wilderness on either side, and the Red Sea before them. "But," he said, "they had no right to murmur. God never gives an impossible command. Some good . people waste time in useless prayer that would be better spent in faithful performance of their God-given duties. God issues the same command, "Go forward," to us today. For we, the Anglo-Saxons of today are descendants of the Israelites of old. Religious teachers insist that we are Gentiles, but God's word makes It plain that we are Israelites. It was 3000 years later that the writer of the Hebrew lettars gave a like command. It comes to us Let us go forward unto perfection. This, he said, armlied to the actions ofVpeople in the home, in the church, and In civil and city life. Perfection, he said, or even an approach to It was hopeless without co-operation of the "least as well as the greatest. We must look to the humblest amongst us. Give us your .aid. God intended us all to work for that pur pose. But we must be united and helpful. i The word 'go' Implies motion and 1 common In too New testament. Ail the universe is impelled to motion. Our boys and girls are going forward, but to what? He suggested that par ents watch and guide the steps of the young and lead them forward to the brightest and best that life promises. 'Let us go forward, he said, "using the Bible as our chart and Jesus as the divine pilot that leads ua on to per fection."- CLAIMS TOTAL IS RECORD Secretary of State Audits 71,4 09 During Blennlum.

BOARD HAMPERED, HE SAYS Executive Also Believes in State Building Alain Arteries and Counties Providing Later als to Remote Points. SALEM, Or., Jan. 7. (Special.) Gov ernor Wlthycombe is giving serious consideration to submitting a plan to the Legislature whereby that body .will, by legislative enactment, determine the location of all trunk - line highways which are to be constructed in Oregon, and thus give to the State Highway Commission, however It may be con stituted, a concrete working basis for the labors which will be before it. The move, if it is taken, is considered of great importance to future highway development in Oregon. The present State Highway Commis sion has found itself greatly hampered in its progress on occasions by frequent bickerings from various parts of the state as to where the trunk line high ways should go and as to where moneys from the state highway fund should be expended. In addition, the Governor pointed out today, never has the Highway Commission been in as good a position to hear from every section of the state as it will be when the Legislative Assembly is in session. All Would Have Voice. Representatives and Senators from all over Oregon could reach a conclu sion as to where these highways should be constructed, and no portion of the state would be without a voice in the determination. The Highway Commission would then be in a position where all it would have to do would be to go ahead and build roads." The executive expressed hia approval. of the state highway map prepared by the Commission, and expressed the be lief that, on the whole, the plan as completed is an excellent one. He be lieves, however, the work of the Com mission in the future would be greatly aided If the Legislature either place its stamp of arpproval on the present plan by statute or amend It as it. sees fit and produce' a good, workable basts for all future state highway construc tion. The Governor declared himself to day as unalterably opposed to a plan which has been suggested that in con struction of trunk highways the state stand one-half of the expense and the counties the other half. Separate Work Prppoaed. "The idea is wrong," asserted the Governor. "State highways should be state highways and the state should pay for them. For Instance, the little County of Hood River. It is tapped by the Columbia Highway. If that county had been compelled to stand one-half of the expense it might nearly bankrupt the county, and at the same time the people of that section are not alone in deriving great benefits from the high way. It is a highway for people from all over the state. "My Idea as to county road expendi tures is that the counties pay for the f3 T. B. Itltnrr. - laterals and feeders to the trunk-lin highways-and the state construct th trunk lines. In that way the county could devote all of Its time and road money to building small market-town roads into the central highways, while the main trunk lines, which are of the greater benefit to all of the people, would be paid for by all of the people and the burden of expense would be placed where it belongs. "I believe, unequivocally, that it is wrong to demand .that the counties assist in building roads from the coun ty funds. It is wrong in theory and would operate as wrong in practice and I am opposed to the idea." WHITE TO RESUME POST GOVERNOR. SAYS HE CALLED AD- JITAT-GEXERAL FROM BORDER. Leave From Dutlea at CalexJco Is Se cured by Troop Commander to Attend Legislature. SALEM, Or.. Jan. . 7. (Soecial.) Captain George A. White, of Troop A. Oregon Cavalry, who is expected to return from Calexlco on the Mexican border next Friday to be here at the legislative session In the interests ot the Oregon National Guard, will re turn to his post as Adjutant-General of the State Militia as soon as he Is relieved from duty, on the border, ac cording to a definite statement made by Governor Wlthycombe today. "Captain White has telegraphed me he expected to arrive about Friday," said Governor Withycortbe. "He has secured a brief leave of absence, after six months' continuous active service on the border. I suggested his com ing, because there are many matters. especially concerning the new Federal enactments relative to the Nationa Guard, upon .which the Legislature doubtless will desire Information, i As he will resume charge of the Oregon Guard when his Mexican border serv ice terminates, naturally he is the one chiefly concerned in working out future plans. "Also. Captain White has conducted the Oregon Guard for about 18 of the last 24 months. In view of the fact that he actually was in charge for three-fourths of the past blennium. and that it is largely his own policies and administration to be reported on, it is but fair and reasonably thxt he should be here to represent the Guard In co-operation w"th the acting Adju tant-General.' Major Walter Wilson is acting Adju tant-General. ' 241 REFUGEES ARRIVE Forty-one Detained at Quarantine Because ot Cliickenpox. PORT ANGELES .Wash., Jan. 7.

Moser Will Be Elected Presl- dent of Senate YV. D. Wood to Be Honored as Dean. Committees Are Chosen. SALEM. Or., Jan. T. (Special.) The Senate got a running start tonight to ward its permanent organisation when the 29th session of the Oregon Legis lative Assembly convenes tomorrow morning, by settling all details of or ganization at a conference In the Hotel Marion. The conference was strictly non partisan. Democratic! Senators having as much to say as Republicans. Its purpose was to expedite procedure to morrow so the Senate will have a clear track for business. Senator Qui C. Moser, of Multnomah, who will be elected President ot the Senate without opposition, presided at the conference. The Senators voted to extend to Senator W. 13. Wbod. of Washington County, dean of the Senate in point ot service, the honor of calling the body to order. Next, Senator Conrad 1. Olson, of Multnomah, will nominate Senator Curtis L.

This will be followed by the election of Senators Dimick, Barrett and Garland on ere dentlals committee, which passes on the credentials of newly elected Sena' tors. Senators Cuslck. Bishop and Strayer will then be elected to the committee on permanent organization and order of business. Strayer. of this commit tee, and Garland, of the credentials committee, are Democrats. The next order of temporary busi ness, as outlined- in tonignta pro gramme, will be a motion by Senator Garland for appointment of a commit tee of three to ask the Chief Justice to swear in the Senate. Next, the rules of 1915 session, with two amendments are to be adopted. Dead Rule to Go. One of these amendments Is the triere formality, of striking out the rule re quiring the double enacting clause on bills paseed by the Senate, tne bu Dreme Court several years ago hav lng held that only one enacting clause Is necessary. The Old rule nas re malned as deadwood on the list until now however. The other amendment Increases mem ship. on' the Important Senate Judiciary committee trom five, its present num ber. to seven. The conference also, de elded upon the membership of the rules committee. It will be composed of Senators Vinton. Orton and Stelwer.

Senator Moser said tonight that he expects to announce, his committees right after his election. The Senate will then be about ready to get down to serious business. In all probability Governor Withy- combe's message -will be delivered at Z o'clock Tuesday. The members of both Houses will gather in the House cham ber to hear it. Apparently there will be only one absentee when the two houses of the 29th Oregon Legislature Assembly cor vene here about 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. It appeared tonight that every Representative' and Senator will be on hand to respond to rollcall but Senator Isaac H. Bingham, of Lane County. Senator Bingham- Is In New Tort City, where he is detained by pressing business. - He is not expected to be here during the session.
