BONE-DRY BILL TO
GO BACK TO HOUSE
Teeth Added in Upper Cham
ber Will Delay Final En
ft, actment of Measure.
SENATE TO ACT THURSDAY
Amendment Cuts Off Fraternal Or
Canlzations From Right to Buy -
Sacramental Wines Clamp
Put on Five-Day Xiliu.it.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Jan. 30.
(Special.) The bone-dry prohibition
bill, which passed the House yester
day with only seven dissenting votes,
will come up in the Senate . on third
reading and final passage at. 3 o'clock
Thursday.
It reached Its second reading In the
tipper house today and in the ordinary
routine would have gone on the Sen
' ate calendar for passage tomorrow.
Senator Eddy, of the Senate com
mittee on alcoholic traffic, and joint
author of the bill with Representative
Anderson, asked, however, that it be
made a special order for the hour
cited. There was no objection.
The bone-dry bill that comes before
the Senate Thursday will be even a
drier bill than the one the House
passed yesterday. The Senate commit
tee on alcoholic traffic, to which the
bill was referred after it came from
the House late yesterday, reported it
back to the Senate this morning with
three amendments that stiffen it con
siderably. Regulations Store Stringent.
One of these amendments cuts
ff fraternal organizations from the
privilege of obtaining wine for sacra
mental purposes, but leaves without
change the remainder of that section of
the law. granting such a right to the
priest or minister of any church or re
ligious congregation.
Another amendment tightens up the
five-day limit, within which, according
to the bill as It passed the House, com
mon carriers may deliver liquor ordered
by Oregon purchasers under the present
law.
This Senate amendment makes It nec
essary for such common carriers to
have received the order for such liquor
to be shipped within the five-day period
of grace, before the five-day period be
gan. In other words, before the act
becomes effective.
As it carries an emergency clause,
It will become effective as soon as
the Governor signs it.
If a citizen of Portland ordered his
two quarts of a California firm, and
the order was received by that firm
prior to the day the law went into
effect, there would still remain five
days during which the liquor could,
lawfully be shipped into the state to
fill the order.
Amendments Adopted Qnlckly.
On the other hand, under this Senate
amendment, the liquor could not law
fully be shipped into the state if the
order were received after the day the
act, becomes effective, even though
there might be plenty of time to ship
and deliver the liquor within the five
day period.
The third amendment merely elim
inates the $2 fee payable to the County
Clerk when the bond of a registered
pharmacist permitting him to sell ethyl
alcohol under the restrictions of the
bone-dry bill is filed.
All these amendments were formally
adopted by the Senate without com
ment. At no time this session has the
Senate indulged In any talk or comment
whatsoever on prohibition matters, but
has consistently voted for everything
tlx prohibitionists have asked.
After the Senate has passed the bone
dry bill, as it is sure to pass it. it will
be necessary for the House to concur
In these three amendments put into it
by the Senators. But as they only
sharpen the teeth of the measure, the
concurrence will De a matter of mere
form.
The Senate passed only a few unim
portant measures today. Following is
the list: -
8. B. 148, by Handley Giving State
Land Board authority to lend irreduc
ible school fund at not less than 6 per
cent.
S. B. 81, by Vinton Changing Arbor
"TJay west of Cascade Mountains from
April to February.
S. B. 82. by Olson Authorizing Mult
nomah County Coroner to employ sal

The Senate today passed the follow'
Ins- House bill:
H. B. 164, by Douglas and Lane Coun
ty delegation To transfer records
from one county to another. -
The Senate today killed the follow
ing bill by indefinite postponement:
H. B. 7a, by Lewis For repeal of law
to issue certificates to teachers who are
graduates of non-standard colleges and
universities.
Insurance Men Attend Hearing'.
About 50 insurance men of Portland

MERGER IS HALTED
Consolidation Conference Is
Again Divided on Plan.
MR. THOMAS OPENS ISSUE
Report on Programme by Time Set
by Houses Xot Seems to Be Im
possible, as More Meetings
Are Yet to Bo Held.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. SO.
(Special.) No progress on consolida
tion measures has been made by either
the Senate or House consolidation com
mittees, or by both or them together,
since Friday night of last week.
None was made tonight at the nrst
joint meeting ot the two committees
s-.nce that time. Last Friday night the
committees, meeting jointly, tentatively
agreed on the draft of a joint resolu
tion to be introduced early this week
In the House, consolidating the Laiior
Commissioner's department. Industrial
Accident Commission, Child Labor Com
mission and Industrial Welfare com
mission. In charge of these would be
two appointed Commissioners.
When the committees got together
tonight. Representative Thomas, of the
House committee, said he had changed
his mind, and thought the proposed con
solidation was unsafe and should not be
made. . This virtually "busted open"
again the whole consolidation question.
Status Quo Defended.
"I'm satisfied now that the Indus
trial Accident Commission should be
left just as it is," said Mr. Thomas. "It
has worked very satisfactorily, and a
mistake would be made in changing It
in any manner. Employer, employes
and the public are represented on the
board of three Commissioners, and to
cut off one or more of the Commission
ers would be apt to result in loss of
confidence.
"We'd better go ahead and do the
consolidating we have planned to do.
or else we had better quit," remarked
Senator Barrett.
Representative Thomas suggested !
that the present Labor Commissioner
might take over the work of the In
dustrial Welfare and Child Labor Com
missions, but he insisted that the In
dustrial Accident Commission ought to
be left as it is with three Commis
sioners instead of only one.
Little Saving Seen la Proposal.
"As I view it," commented Senator
Dimick, chairman of the Senate com
mittee, "there is demand for consoli
lation only where, it is going to save
the greatest expense; by this we would
consolidate something without much
saving."
Representative Rltner said about E0
persons had spoken to him about the
bill tentatively agreed to Friday, many
in opposition to it. Orton said no one
had opposed it to him.
"The session has gone past the divid
ing line," warned Dimick. "and it ia
up to us to show some consolidation re
sults." A sub-committee, composed of Sen
ator Cusick, chairman; Senator Orton
and Representatives Thomas and Rit
ner. will try to work a way out of it
tomorrow, with instructions to report
at night.
Commission to Be Interviewed.
In the meantime, the Joint commit
tees will interrogate the public service
commissioners relative to whether they
or the board of control, as recommend
ed by the Governor, shall take over the
state tax commission. A plan ia also
under consideration - to combine the
office of deputy sealer of weights and
measures under the food commissioner
and save a duplication In inspections.
. The resolution under which each
House created its consolidation com
mittee provided that there should be
a report by the 23th day of the session.
Thursday will be the 25th day. It does
not look as If there would be very
mucii to report.

of Portland, who voted against the
"bone-dry" hill yesterday, explained to

proponents of the bill say the measure
does not contain.
He declares now, and he said on the
floor of the House yesterday that Inhi

it possible for officers to exercise

BALLOT MEASURES AVOIDED
Legislature Is Against Making Un
important Revisions.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 30
(Special.) This Legislature Is not
going to load up the ballot of the 1918
election with a lot of proposed amend
ments to the constitution.
This became apparent today when
the -House laid on the table a resolu
tion offered by Representative Small
proposing an amendment that would
prevent the single-tax issue from go
ing on the ballot again until the year
1S24.
While the House seems to be In en
tire sympathy with. the principles of
the measure, it wants to meet the issue
in some other manner, if possible.
Three proposed amendments intro
duced by Representative Brownell, at
the request of the Constitutional Re
vision Association, call for a special
election. The measures are designed
merely to straighten out a few kinks
in the constitution, but few members of
the House consider them important
enough to require a special election.
Lobbyists for the Constitutional Re
vision Association are terribly worried
about the threatened dangers to the
constitution, but it is probable that the
resolutions will be sent down the skids.

HOUSE RAISES COYOTE BOUXTY
Graduated Increase Provided for
Killing Female Animals.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 30.
(Special.) "Death to coyotes," fig
uratively spoke the House today, when
it voted to pass Representative Clark's
bill increasing the bounty.
The bill changes the existing law in
three important particulars. It in
creases the bounty on adult male and
female coyotes for the present year,
vsjith a graduated increase of $1 a year
on females until tne law is changed.
Another change makes it easier for
the hunter, having killed a coyote, to
make proof of his claim for the bounty.
Representative Clark explained the
coyote pest at length before the ouse,
showing that the coyote has wrought
terrible Tiavoc on the livestock indus
try of Eastern Oregon. He said the
present bounty is not sufficient be
cause it does not pay the hunter to kill
the animals." He quoted from the
state's records to show that fewer coy
otes were killed in 1916 than in 1915
The only way to get rid of them, he
said, is to pay a heavy bounty.

STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Jan. 30.
(Special.) After a long-winded dis
cussion that took up a large part of two
days, the House this morning passed
Representative Bowman's bill restrict
ing further state aid to sectarian In
stitutions by a vote of 38 to 20.
The sentiment of the whole Hours
seemed to favor a plan that will re
quire the state to care for Its own de
linquents but not until the state has
the money.
The bill as It passed prohibits any
court or other authority from sending
children to a sectarian institution, but
enables the state to continue Us appro
priation to such institutions for the
care of children already there. If this
bill becomes a law, dependent children
in the future will have to be sent to
private or non-sectarian Institutions.
The committee on ways and means will
have to provide means for their a&
commodation there.
Nearly half the members of the House
got up and explained their votes in an
swering the rollcall this morning, but.
devoid of explanations, the record shows
that the following voted no . Ajstiiey,

PLATE MAY BE WIDER

Change of Rniea In Furor of Hatter
to Be Recommended. Bat IS '
Inch Plate Is Advised.
NEW YORK. Jan. SO. President John
K. Teper, of the National League, said
today that he will submit to the Joint
rules committee, which meets here next
month, a recommendation to Increase
the width of the home plate from. IT
to 18 Inches and send a batsman to
first base on three balls Instead of
four. Such a change In the rules, ha
declared, would bring about the de
red increase in baiting.
"I believe simply sending a batsman
to ilrst base on three balls instead of
four would be too great a change and
would throw the balance too much In
fivor of batsman," Tener said. "By
widening the plate an inch, however,
ha nitcher would have a better oppor
tunity of getting the ball over, but
such a change would be about two
thirds In favor of the batsman.
"I believe Increasing the width cf the
plate would have more of a psychologi
cal effect than an actual one. The
pitcher, knowing the plate had been
widened would have more confidence
in his sbility to get the ball over, while
the batsman, also conscious of the In
creased width of the plate, would feel
he hud to hit the ball Instead of trying
to wait for a base on balls.

CONSTANT HEADACHES
People with thin blood are much mora
subject to headaches than full-blooded
persons and the form of anemia that af.
lllcta growing girls is almost always ac
companied by headache together with
di?etive disturbances and constipation.
Whenever you have constant or re
curring headaches and pallor of the
face they show that the blood is thin and
vour efforts should be directed towards
building up your blood. A treatmentrf
with Dr. Williams' Pint Pills will do
this effectively and the rich, red blood
will remove the headache.
More disturbances to health are
caused by thin blood than you have any
idea of. When the blood is impover
ished the nerves suffer from lack of
nourishment and you may have in
eomnia, neuritis, neuralgia or sciatica.
Muscles subject to strain are under
nourished and you may have muscular
rheumatism or lumbago. If your blood
is thin and you begin to show symp
toms of these disorders try building up
the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla
and see if the symptoms do not disap
pear as the blood is restored to normal.
Get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at the
nearest drug store or send fifty cents to
the Dr. " imams Medicine Co., cx-.hen'
