Senate Adopts Resolution for Sew

In spite of a '75 per cent bone-dry vote,
lie has heretofore expressed himself as
confident of commanding, Halsey open
ly distrusted committee-of-the-whole
procedure and called the backbone o
the ultra-dry movement into line in
tieieating it.
ConfuKlon Delays Action.
Immediately afterwrri in attempt
Itipr to amend the first section of House
bill .No. 4. the bone-dry bill, Halsey and
liis closest supporters became involved
in complications that resulted in the
uiii Boing the route of further post
ponement until Wednesdav aftprnnm,
when it again comes up on second read
ins under special order.
contusion developed all over th
JTouse when Halsey undertook to mak
Bine amendments to the first section
without having copies of the proposed
new matter upon the House desks. His
intention -was to incorporate a conces
fcion' to ne benate anti-saloon bill
a requirement that retail druggists us
permits in obtaining supplies of alco
JlOl. '
The bone-dry bill was before th
House at the time as recommended for
passage by the committee of public
morals without the Halsey compromise
a to alcohol.
Charge of Railroading Made.
Halsey asked the House to take his
amendment as he stated it, but the
House could not get a mental vision
of the effect, and Halsey eventually
w ithdrew his proposal until copies could
te prepared and placed before the
members. He resisted an effort from
the wet side of the House to refer
the bill back to the public morals
committee to give the committee a
chance to pass on the alcohol amend
ment r
Representative Grass, or King, ac
cused Halsey of driving the bill rough
shod through the public morals com
mittee, of wnich Mrs. Ina. P. Williams,
of North Yakima, is chairman. The
feminine member of the House merely
ftmiled at this, but .Halsey got no aid
from her in trying to press immediate
consideration for his amendnjent. He
said that the numerous changes in
the original bill were necessary to make
the measure wonform to new wording
which includes the alcohol restriction
as to druggists. j
WetH Encouraged. Drj Confident.
"While the wets are more encouraged
than usual tonight over today's divi
eion in the dry ranks the latter are
not showing any visible signs of de
moralization. Representatives Mark E.
Heed and .7. H. Davis, floor leaders on
the Republican side, supported Halsey
today in his maneuvers to turn the
flank of opposition aroused by his fail
ure to have copies of amendatory mat
ter distributed throughout the House.
On motion of Chairman Steiner. of
the fisheries committee, the Senate to
day adopted a concurrent resolution,
on request of the Oregon Legislature,
to appoint a Joint commission to meet
with an Oregon commission on Febru
ary 3 at Seattle to consider desired
changes in the interstate regulation of
ralmon fishing on the Columbia River.
Jive Senators and six Representatives
will be named for the Washington
Commission as soon as the resolution
Is adopted by the Houses to which it
was immediately transmitted.
Agreement la at Stake.
The principal question to be con
sidered are whether the interstate
agreement shall be sustained by the
two states and the Oregon commission
wishes to submit proppsals to increase
cannery fees. Under the new schedule
canneries would pay five cents a case
on chinooks instead of four, and four
cents instead of one and two a case
on other varieties.
There is also a plan under contem
plation to prohibit purse-seining on the
Columbia.
House and Senate both adjourned at
noon to see moving pictures of Oregon
fish hatching and wild animal life,
chown by W. L. Finley, State Biologist
of Oregon.
After months of individual and com
mittee work, with numerous additional
revisions made since the present ses
sion opened, the first-aid amendment
to the state Industrial insurance act
was introduced in the House today by
Representatives McCoy of Clark and
Reed of Mason. Its sponsors believe
that differences between employers
and employes have been as nearly ad
justed as possible and are confident
the bill will pass both houses.

Lieutenant-Commander O. F. Blair, of
the Oregon Naval Militia, yesterday re
ceived advices from Washington that
the torpedo-boat destroyer. Golds-
borough had been ordered to Portland
for the use of the Oregon Naval Militia.
The action was taken by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels after formal request
by the Naval Militia officials through
Senator Chamberlain.
It is understood that the cruiser
Marblehead. which was sent to Portland
last Summer to replace the cruiser Bos
ton, will be returned here for the use
of the militia. In addition to the Golds
borough. Attempts now are being mads
to Induce the Navy Department to send
the cruiser New Orleans here to take
the place of the Marblehead. It is
larger and better adapted as a training
ship, it is said.
Information also was received yester
day that an additional Instructor from
the United States Marine Corps has
been assigned to duty at Portland to
assist in improving the efficiency of
the local organization.
The Goldsborough was built In Port
land In 1897 by Wolff & Zwlcker. She
has a displacement of 255 tons, and a
speed of 27.40 knots an hour. Her
crew complement consists of three offi
cers and 61 men.

posal we will be able to Increase the
efficiency of the Oregon Naval Militia
nd give our men a mrch more com
plete training.", said Captain Blair yes
terday. "We will be able to take
week-end cruises frequently, and the
men and officers will receive splendid
practical experience. As the Golds
borough draws only six feet of water.
It will be possible to take her con
siderable distances up the Columbia
River."
A class of about 30 members of the
Oregon Naval Militia will be taken into
the new division of the National Naval
Volunteers tonight, announced Com
mander Blair. An effort will be made
to get a membership of between 200
and 300 as soon as possible.
The National Naval Volunteers, an
organization created under a recent act
of Congress, receive pay for time passed
in drill, and are subject to the call of
the President for duty in the event of
war.
