STATE HOCSE. Salem. Or., Feb. 18.
i Special.) The senate, following a
debate lasting; nearly an hour, today
adopted the majority report of the
View lag; Time Unit Set.
- If pictures offeree for review are
not passed upon within 38 hour after
presentation the film would be con
"' slrtcred approved.
The bill, which is a substitute for"
one presented earlie In the session.
was a copy of the Ohio law. which.
according to representative Chiids,
has been approved by the supreme
courts of liie state of Ohio and the
. Unlud Slates.
In aruinc for the passage of the
'.. bill Mr. Chiids declared that he had
round nobody In the st.ite of Oregon
who would admit that the pictures
should not be censored. The only
difference of opinion on the subject.
he declared, was as to the method of
censorship.
.Mrs. W. S. Kinney of Clatsop county,
chairman of the committee on health
and public morals, before which the
censorship bills have been decided,
declared she had received many let
ters from all over the state, urging
passage of a state censorship bill,
i'he also asserted that she had re
ceived between 15 and 20 letters from
people of her district opposing the
hill, that she found on Investigation
that with a single exception these
people did not have children. In the
case of that exception, she said, the
parents had children too young to 3
to motion-picture snows.
Prablbltloa Kaer lrbate.
Prohibition and the Polk county
road controversy entered In the dis
cussion on censorship. Representa
tive Fletcher of Polk county, who haa
endeavored to have the state highway
commission forced to change loca
tion of roads within that county and
who Incidentally is the co-author of
the bill which was passed, in dtscu-ss-.
lng" the rumors that members of the
proposed censorship board might be
"bought" or "controlled." said:
"I have heard such charges and
realize that there are some commis
sions of this state and members of
uch bodies who endeavor to brow
beat this legislature to do its bla
ding. But I want to say right here
. that I think there are some honest
and conscientious persons left In this
ptate who can serve on this board and
- refuse to consider any proposal which
is not fair or above board."
"Wet Arguaarafa Recalled.
The, arguments used against prohi
bition tn the daya that were "wet"
were likened to the arguments used
against the censorship board by Kep-
. rcscntatice Kclknau, who favored
passage of the bill. He said that
when local option was favored the
liquor dealers pleaded for national
'. prohibition, and when that form of
restriction loomed the liquor inter
ests hurried to Washington and ar
gued that prohibition was
issue to be decided by counties or
states.
Passage of the bill would result in
the building up of a "machine of
viewers." according to Representative
uaiiagner.
Representative Lynn of Multnomah
county, who represented the labor or
ganisations in the house, opposed the
mil, explaining uiat ne favored na
tional censorship and that further It
was his opinion that the proposed
fcill was not workable because It did
not create a fund to start the cen
eorshlp board in its work.

troducftd by Senator Dennis, author
Izing and empowering the state high
way commission to acquire rights o
way along state highways.
Senator Upton, who led the fisrh
against the adoption of the majority
report, contended that many of tho
most important roads of the state
had not yet been improved, and it
would be absurd to spend a larg
sum of money in acquiring scenic
lands along these highways
Senators Patterson and Dennis said
the bill had received careful consid
t-ration by the roads and highways
committee and had the indorsemen
of the body. Senator Dennis also
said that Governor Olcott favored the
measure, as did thousands of other
persons interested in preserving the
scenic beauties of Oregon.
When submitted for final consid
rration. tho minority report of the

BOtSK. Idaho. Feb. 18. (Special.)
The bill which would have done away
v!th the appropriation for the erec
tion of state sanitariums for the
treatment of tuberculosis patients in
Idaho was defeated in the house this
atternoon by a vote of 20. to 32, two
members being absent.
Debate on the bill to repeal the
tuberculosis sanitarium appropriation
ot 119 was begun In the morning
and continued the greater part of the
afternoon.
Representative Goodwin of Owyhee
county opened the debate with an at
tack on the state affairs committee
and the commissioner of public wel
fare, who advocated the repeal of the
1915 appropriation. Information gatn- 1
ered by them and laid on .the desks of .
rmmbers, Sir. Goodwin declared, was
misleading and prejudiced.
3 Aarlcultural Bllln Favored.
Two agricultural bills received ap
proval of the house. One of them
authorizes county commissioners to
make appropriations for eradication
of cutworms and grasshoppers, and
requires them to do so on petition of
certain number or farmers. An
other amends -present restrictions on
mportation and Inspection and spray
ng of fruit trees.
But a third agricultural bill failed
to puss. It was a department meas
ure to modernize the standard
weights and measures recognised In
Idt-ho and improve the present in
spection of scales and measuring de
vices. Final rollcB.ll showed 19 ayes
and 26 hoes.
Tho arguments against the bill
were made by Gudmunscn of Cassia,
Hall of Oneida and Severson of Jer
fcrson, all of whom confessed they
arc grain buyers. Boomer of Pay
ette said he believed they were afraid
of their shadows. Weeks and Snooks
said the bill would increase the fi
nancial demands of the department of
agriculture. May. or Power, said the
bill was sought by farmers as a body.
Bv unanimous vote the senate
passed senate bill No. 173. providing
for the creation of the "Fremont
game preserve. The proposed pre
serve borders on the Yellowstone
park and is a reserve created for the
further protection of wild animal life
of the park and enters into the plan
for obtaining from the federal gov
ernment permission for the building
o a reservoir within the park.
Another Important measure passed
by unanimous vote was house joint
memorial No. 4. which requests con
gress to enact such legislation as is
required to permit again, me opera
tion of the federal farm loan- act,
from which Idaho derived great bene
fit. ,-;
The osteopathic measure, senate
bill 12S. by Hailey and Reed, defining
osteoDathv am prescribing require
ments for practlco, was passed by a
vote of 29 to 10. Several aenatora re
ported they had received urgent re
tiuests for the passage of the bill
from osteopathic physicians and that
it raised the standard of tne proies-
slon.

tee, in its recommendation, stated
that It had examined numerous ex
service men on tfre measure and their
opinion was divided. The committee
also felt that the veterans are being

national legislation. The measure has
the backing of the American Legion
ot Idaho.
Senate Bill 52 Vetoed.
Governor Davis exercised his veto
power when he applied the ax te
senate bill No. 52, which prescribed
the requirements for professional
nurses. The bill was amended, etrik-
ne out the examination requirements.
and the governor notified the senate

to sign it.
A memorial to the senate urging
he passage of the Harding anti-
Igarette bill, was read in tne sen
ate. The memorial came irom a

Convention at Washing-ton Author
izes Organization to War on .
"Leg-al Disabilities."
WASHTXGTOX. D. C, Feb. 18.
The -poTTtical life of. the national
woman's party passed away today. A
new organization bearing, the name
and colors of the old, was born to
night The new orcanlzatiorf, its leaders
said.-will function with the energy
of the old, the only difference being
in its objective, which was described
as the "removal pf legal disabilities
of women" of America.
' Spirited discussions marked the
transformation from the old to the
new each step being subject to r.iarv
speeches and careful analysis of the J
convention leaders. The leaders were
determined that the machinery created
eight years ago to work for the en
franchisement of women should not
pass into control of radical or mili
tarist hands.
Disarmament la Favored.
The first flfrht developed when the
minority opinion of the resolut ions
electing women to congress and other
federal and state offices until their
representation should be equal to that
of the men, the rewriting of existing
iaws regulating divorce, guardianship
of children and sexual morality and
changing standards to nvrmit women
to have full partnership under the
law of family incomes.
A resolution embodying many of
these questions and specifying them
as the "programme of work" for the
new organization was introduced as
an amendment to the majority report
by Sliss Crystal Eastman of New
York. It was defeated by a votebf
170 to 93 after extended discussions,
which reached fever pitch at times.
In its place the convention adopted
the conservative statement of the ma
jority report declaring merely that
"the immediate work of the new or
ganization be the removal of the legal
disabilities of Women.
The convention adjourned after
dinner and ceremony in honor of the
members who had served as "pickets"
in the days when the suffi apists bc
seijred the White House and other
public buildings in search of. support
for the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
Many of the "pickets" had served
jail sentences and proudly displayed
their records as they passed by in
line to receive the organization's
"distinguished service medal" for
past services

Was Due to Gasoline to Be
Attempted, Jury Told.
SOUTH BEND. Or.. Feb. 18. (Spe
cial.) The state rested its rase this
nfternoon in tho tiral of J. Fred
Welch, charged with blowing up the
dredge Beaver on North river, killing
four persons. The state's case closed
with the testimony of Clark Stoddard,
who said that the dying man Chris
tensen asked him how many they got
and when Stoddard told him Welch
was in the room he asked if they had
him locked up.
J. It. Myers testified that when
Christensen and Welch were brought
to South Bend from the scene f the
disaster Welch asked where they
were taking him. He- was told to
he hospital, and his purported re
sponse Was : w ny are uu innih
me there? I am not hurt.'.'
The defense told the jury it ex
pected to prove that the explosion
was duo to gasoline and followed pos
sibly by dynamite because come of it
was stored on a shelf in the engine
room; that it must have been a gaso
line explosion, because the heavy ma
chinery simply dropped down from
the upper deck when the supports
were blown away Instead or ncing
blown off; that Welch could not
have jumped ashore from the drerice
as held by the state without fallnig
into the tide mud and being plastered,
with mud, and the evidence showed j
that he was not muddy.
The eviencc of the trial snowed
the dead men were burned by the ex
plosion and it Is said dynamite would
not have burned them.
The defense witness was Lester
Barber, who lived near the dre.ice.
who said ho thought there as a
bhort,' sharp report followed by a
long, loud one. Two boys, sons ot
the manager of tho Jlciiowan ranch,
where the dredge was working, said
the engine room floor waa oily and
there were several drums of gaso
line around, dynamite and a storage
battery. ,
