ELECTION TO BE NEXT JUNE Measure Reported Favorably in House and Fight Centers on Question Whether to Hold Referendum This Year or Next. The Jayne bill to amend the local option law will pass the House at Salem or be defeated next Tuesday. ' "When the House reassembles tomorrow the bill will be made a special order of business for the day following;. Indications point to the passage of the measure by a small majority, yet its foes declare It will be beaten. The provision which will meet most oppo sition is that which provides for a ref erendum next June. Enemies of amendment declare that the special election will cost the coun ties needless expenditure of ' money. But advocates of amendment reply that special prohibition elections will be called In many counties anyhow, and that postponement of the election until June. 190G, would make the present bill useless, because the original Jayno bill could then be submitted to the electors under the initiative. The Jayne bill, as amended by the House committee on revision of laws Muir of Multnomah, Burns of Coos and Vawtcr of Jackson abolishes, option by counties and groups of precincts and applies it only to precincts each by Itself; raises the number of electors needed on a petition for a prohibition election from 10 per cent of the voters registered in a precinct to 30, and pro vides that when a precmcz goes "wet" or "dry" a subsequent election shall not be held until two years thereafter. The Legislature contains few men o" prohibition sentiment, but all, or near ly all, are local optionists that Is. pre cinct optlonists. If they were voting at the polls many would cast their bal lots for repeal of the existing local op tion law and most for radical amend ment, but as members of the Legisla ture, elected at the same time when the local option law was enacted, probably not more than 30 or 40 per cent would vote to change the act without refer ring tho amendment to the people. The chief question that arose when tho Jayne bill appeared was, whether the act should be made operative at once through an emergency clause, which would, take It from the referendum. The House showed unwillingness to accept an emergency clause, and the committee decided to re port an amendment for a referendum. Whereupon the question came up, "When; in June, 1905. or June, 1906?" The commit tee chose the earlier date. The text of the Jayne bill has been changed by the committee only in two or three minor respects first, to reduce tho number of signatures required on an elec tion petition from 40 to 30 per cent of the voters registered in a precinct; second, to apply tho law to all precincts In munici palities, business as well as residence. The chief provision of the Jayne bill, for making the law a precinct option act, has not been altered by the com mittee. The bill was reported to the House last Friday. TO FURTHER SCIENCE. Organization Is Affected of State Academy. Prominent scientists of the state held an enthusiastic meeting last night in John Burroughs Hall of the City Hall, which resulted In effecting a temporary Oregon State Academy of Sciences, which will ultimately prove a permanent organiza tion of such scope as to embrace every conceivable branch of scientific research and exploitation. Professor Edward P. Sheldon, temporary chairman, presided. Dr. Francis Drake acted as temporary sec retary. A committee of five was appointed to organize and draft a- constitution and by laws. This committee consists of Profes sor Coghlll, of Pacific University, biolo gist; State Biologist Albert R. Sweetser; Rosa Nicholas. Martin W. Gorman and Dr. A. W. Smith. A second committee of five was appoint ed to confer with the Lewis and Clark Congress Committee for the purpose of arranging for scientific conferences and for the entertainment of eminent scien tists from other sections of the country who may visit Portland during the Expo sition. In the opinion of Mr. Sheldon, who made a brief address, the organization of an Academy of Sciences at this time Is par ticularly desirable. Many of the fore most scientists will visit Portland during the Lewis and Clark World's Fair, he thought, and an organization which could provide for the entertainment of such visitors would be a great credit to the city of Portland, and would serve eventually to bring the city and state as well in friendly touch with other scientific cen ters. Further, the resources of the state are so diversified and yet practically em bryotlc as regards' scientific research, that a permanent organization of such charac- I ter would aid greatly In establishing an unprecedented interest among the scien tific field. Dr. A. H. Rockey recalled the Oregon Society of Sciences, which was In exist ence some years ago, and argued that If the new organization would take up the work of the old and continue It along defl nlte lines he was sure that it would ac compli ih much good and receive the hearty co-operation of scientists all over the state. Dr. Rockey cautioned against ephemeral enthusiasm, and ably suggest ed the effecting of a stable and permanent organization. Speaking from the standpoint of an edu cator. Professor Coghlll said he felt that the Oregon Academy of Sciences would receive Its greatest aid from university men. These men, he averred, were in po sition to afford more time to the academy than men of business, and if the officers would communicate with scientists at Corvallls, Eugene and other cities In Ore gon he was sure that material -assistance would be proffered. Miss Gertrude Metcalfe, president of the John Burroughs Bird Society, assured the members of the academy that John Bur roughs Hall was at their disposal until permanent quarters were decided upon Concluding the meeting. Professor Sweetser gave a very interesting dls course upon bacteriology which he UIus trated with various species of bacteria contained In petri dishes. Bacteria, ar gued Mr. Sweetser. are not the fear-bld- J"nc osres the public Is wont to .conceive but, quite to the contrary, a specie to wnich wo are greatly indebted insofar as our bodies are composed wholly of bacteria. To the surprise of some. Professor Sweetser stated emphatically that a ty phoid bacterium could not be distin guished accurately, but it was possible "to dilute the specie so thoroughly that its ravages were necessarily curtailed. He cited many amusing Incidents in which different persons had carried water to his office to learn, if possible, the partic ular specie of bacteria it contained. The committee on organization and constitution will report at some future meeting. Among those present were: W. G. Eliot, of the Lewis & ClarkCon- gress committee; J.- H. Fisk, Col. L., L. Hawkins. Dr. J. R. Onrdwcll and Mrs. Cardwell. Mrs. C B Charlton. Professor C E. Bradley, Colonel Andrews. E." H. Bohiman. Dr. W. H. Galvanl and others. The next meeting will be held In John Burroughs Hall. February 13, at S o'clock P. M. PUTER GIVES HIS SIDE. Denies That Fraud Has Been Com mitted on Land Board. S. A. D. Puter returned yesterday from Salem, and made the following statements In his defense with reference to the charges made against him to the SLUe Land Board: 'There has been no fraud whatever com mitted on the State Land"Board. I did not know that I was violating the law. and I do not think I was doing so when I made these nine parties make applications lor state lands. It Is true that I furnished them the: money, to make first navment on the land- They all agreed with me before making their applications that they would, as soon as their certificates were Issued, assign to me a nine-tenths Interests In the land. "T. did not appear to buy the land at any time, cither before or after they made! their applications. After they swore to and filed their applications, they came-to me and wanted ?20 each. I gave It to them, they still retaining a one-tenth in terest In the land. "When I first went to Salem last Thurs- day morning, I handed Mr. G. G. Brown, clerk of the State Land Board, two appli cations for &40 acres, signed by two par ties here In Portland, and a draft for SSOO. which I Indorsed payable to his order. I also requested him to apply VXO on each application, and said that I would have eight more applications some time during the day. "A few hours afterward Mr. Brown re turned the two applications to me, to gether with the drart of J2000, stating that he had taken the matter up with the School Land Board, and that the Instruc tions to him from the board were, here after to require ail parties making, appli cations for land to appear before him (the clerk of the School Board) and swear to their applications and pay the money In person. "I then told Mr. Brown that I would have drafts made to his order for $200 each, as I wanted to be protected in my Interest In the land, and that I would ask the parties to hand their applications to him. with the draft. The first party. S. E. Foster, I introduced to Mr. Brown, and he swore him to his application. Mr. Foster handed him $200 and requested Mr. Brown, when his certificate was is sued, to hand It to Mr. B. H. Wagner. "AH of the other parties were brought before Mr. Brown by B. H. Wagner. Some time during the afternoon I learned that tlic certificates would not be Issued. As soon as I learned of that fact, I went bofore the School Land Board to make Inquiries. The Board Informed me' thnt they thought there wa3 something wrong and they wished to investigate the mat ter more fully before allowing certifi cates to issue. I endeavored to have the matter fixed up right then, as most of the parties making application were close by. "The Board informed me that the mat ter could only be fixed up at a. regular meeting of the School Land Board, and that would "be on February 4. So I In formed the Board that I would be there on that day, with all parties Interested. "It has been stated that there was a trap laid for me In the Land Office. That Is not so, as I have done nothing under handed. Everything was open and above board, and all of those parties who made applications are respectable citizens of Salem, and are well known In that city. I have not violated the law In any respect in this transaction, and I hope to be abe to prove that fact to the satisfaction of the School Land Board when they meet." EQUAL STJITBAGISTS MEET. Prospects Are Bright for National. Meeting Here Next Summer.

DECKHA2H) PAHS 0VEEB0AED George Hall Drowned in Willamette, and Body Swept Away. George Hall, a deckhand of the steamer Annie Comings, was drowned at the foot of Oak street at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, by falling In the river from the bow of the boat. The crew was engaged in loading the Comings with baled hay at the time. Hall was standing on the forward deck unloading hand trucks by means of a truckman's hook. It Is pre sumed that while pulling over a bale the hook slipped, and, losing his balance, tho man went over the .edge of the boat into the water. No one saw Jiim fall, and the sbund ot the splash was the first Intima tion the others received of the accident. Lines and planks were thrown over, but the body did not return to the surface. The crew procured grappling Irons and dragged the river for several hours, but did not recover the body. Hall was 23 years old, and had been working or, the steamer for about two months. He came here from Nebraska, but had no relatives in this part of the country. He was a sober and industrious young man, and saved his wages, which were In his pocket at the time he was drowned.
