THE SUNDAY OKEGCXNIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 19, 1905. BILL IS MIS Bucketshop Measure Is . Lost in Senate, IN RUSH OF LAST HOUR Laid Aside for Quiet Death, and Disappears. HERMANN, AUTHOR, WANTS IT Owing to Lack of Time at End of Session, Only Local Bills Easy of Passage Were Picked for Third Reading. SALEM, Or., Feb. IS. (Special.) Her mann's anti-bucketshot bill disappeared mysteriously during tho closing hours of tho Legislature's session, and search has failed to show what became of it. "Less than an hour before the Senate adjourned the bill was lying -with many others on the desk of President Kuyken dall, and so far as known, that was the last seen of it. It may ha-ve been mis laid, possibly it was stolen, perhaps in the rush of work it was folded with other papers and lost, but whatever became of it is now a mystery. In the Senate this measure fer the sup pression of bucketshops was referred to the committee on education. That com mittee reported the bill in the afternoon, and the records show that it -was received at the clerk's desk. It was one of about 30 that were on the desk when the Sen ate adjourned at 6 o'clock. A resolution had been adopted for final adjournment at 8 o'clock, and the Senate mot again at 7 o'clock. It was apparent that the Senate could not dispose of all the remaining bills In that one hour, and President Kuykendall called a conference of some of the Senate leaders. Few Bills Selected. According to Chief Clerk Moorhead there were present Senators Booth, Pierce, Malarkey and Hodson, and per haps one or two others. President Kuy kendall asked for all the bills on third reading, and they were handed up. Pres ident Kuykendall and the other Senators' went over the bunch and selected tho bills that it was thought should be given first attention, and those that were of less Im portance or that would be likely to pro voke discussion were laid aside. The bucketshop bill was laid aside as one that would probably precipitate a de bate and consume too much time. The bundle of bills was then handed back to the clerk, and those selected for third reading were read and passed or defeated. Nothing more was thought of the bucket shop bill until this morning, when Rep resentative Hermann went to inquire after it. and search failed to disclose its whereabouts. Both President Kuykendall and Chief Clerk Moorhead are utterly unable to ac count for the disappearance of the bill. If any one stole it, he had trouble for his pains, for the measure would not nave come up for third reading unless some Senator called for it, which no one did. Wtth the exception of the loss of one page from the Malheur Irrigation district bill in the House, this is the only mishap that any bill in the Legislature. "NO OBJECT IN ABSTRACTION" President Kuykendall Makes State ment Regarding DIsappearence. In connection with the disappear ance of the Hermann bucket-shop bill Friday evening. President Kuykendall, of the Senate, was called upon over the telephone last night at his home in Eugene by The Oregonian. He was asked to tell what he knew of its dis appearance, and replied: "Yes," he replied, "I have heard that the bill has disappeared, but I do not regard its loss as having any connec tion with the defeat of the measure. I made inquiry before I left Salem and ascertained that the Hermann bill was received from the House in, course of the regular routine of business, and after it had reached third reading in the Senate was placed with other bills that had also passed to that reading. The Senate had previously agreed to adjourn at 6:30 P. M., but the time ran over until a little after S o'clock. It was then deemed practicable to take up several local bills io be acted upon if there was no objection, and adjourn ment was taken to 7. "I was assisted by several Senators In assorting the remaining bills, and I distinctly remember seeing the Her mann bill. Obviously it was not a local measure, and therefore could not be acted upon, for an objection by any Senator would have prevented such action. "The bill was not picked out for pass age by any Senator, and I do not see how there could have been any possible object in feloniously abstracting it from the Senate Clerk's desk. "I repeat that it is my distinct recol lection that the bill was on tho Clerk's desk at G:30 o'clock Friday evening, and that it was not the intention of the Senate to act on this bill when it had under consideration the local bills that the committee nad selected as urgency measures. "There is no occasion for a sensa tion over the alleged theft of the bill, inasmuch as the defeat of the 'bucket shop bill was not accomplished in that manner, but by failure of the Senate to take it up." ITEMS OF HERMANN BILL. 'Bucket-Shop" Applied to All Such Establishments in State. The Hermann bucket-shop bill was introduced in the House and read the first time on January 17 and was en titled "An act to suppress bucket-shops and -gambling in stocks, bonds, petrol eum, cotton, grain, coal, provisions and other produce." Its provisions against all forms of commission and stockdealing were wide in scope. It forbade any corporation, association. Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, copartnership or per son to keep a "bucket-hop" or office wherein was conducted the pretended buying and selling of shares of stock or bond3 without the property so bought or sold being actually deliv ered. Provision was made for the compul sory Issuance of a written statement containing the names of the parties from whom the stock or bonds were bought or sold, as the case might be, upon the request of the customer or principal of the sale, and provided a 'penalty for refusal to give the names asked. The term "bucket-shop" was made to apply to all the places wherein the sale of such securities was made and elao the- place wher the eysten cus tom or trade of purchasing or selling of stocks, etc, was carried on. The taking of margins or options upon stocks was made a violation of the act, and tho use or the telegraph or other means of communication for the purpose of assisting in the sales of stocks or bonds or margins upon them was forbidden. The penalty for violating the provis ions of the act was punishment tho same as other misdemeanors committed within the state. HIS PRACTICAL APPROVAL.

Feree, a lawyer, is to be ar rested as soon as an officer can find him on the charge of obtaining $350 in cash under false pretenses. The com plaint was Issued, at the request of Mrs. W. E. Yeager, Xrom whom the money is alleged to have been obtained fraudulently. In connection with the false pretense charge, are allegations of a series of forgeries committed by Feree. The Prosecuting Attorney will first proceed against Feree on the false pretense charge, and later, if the evi dence is deemed sufficient, a warrant charging him with forgery may be Is sued. As a security for a loan, Feree is al leged to have presented to Mrs. Yea ger a contract for the sale of two lots In Tacoma signed by C T. Patterson. Patterson claims his signature is a forgery. The signature is attested by Frank A. Noble, a notary public. A part of the letters of the word "Noble" In the seal are cut out on the paper., making it appear that the name Is 'Moore." On the assignment of tho contract there Is a notarial seal purporting to be "C. F. Dexter." There is a similarity to G. F- Drager's name with certain letters mutilated. The alleged notaries "Dexter" and "Moore" cannot be found, and there Is no record that they are notaries. Noble and Dragcr say they did not attest either of the documents. Feree has offices with Noble and, ac cording to Mr. Noble and Mr. Drager, had access to botn their notarial seals. Mr. Patterson, who says his name Is forged to documents, alleges the lots were never offered for sale. FOR NEW SALMON COMBINE. John Rosene Would Pack Fish in Kamchatka Cheaply. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. IS. (Spe cial.) John Hosene, manager of the Northeastern Siberian Company, is now In New York, getting capital to back a gigantic scheme by which he hopes to create a salmon combine. It is gen erally understood that either Hosene or men friendly to his interests have bought out the plant of the Pacific Packing & Navigation Company. He is now negotiating for the entire line of ocean-going steamships operated by Captain E. E. Caine. Rosene holds valuable concessions from the Russian government, not tho least of which are valuable salmon fisheries in Kamchatka. He can, with Chinese labor, pack salmon there for 12 cents per case, while it costs 42 cents per case on this side of the Pa cific for Chinese labor. There arc un limited coal fields In Kamchntka. so that it would cost him practically noth ing for XueL. Unparalleled G.

DUG "Last of the Clatsops" Dies in Seaside Shanty. MRS. MICHEL'S GREAT AGE Father Hunted With Lewis and Clark, and She Remembered When Grimes' Grove Was Waste of Ocean Sand. ASTORIA, Feb. 18. (Special.) Mrs. Jennie Michel, a Clatsop Indian woman, who was commonly known as "the last of the Clatsops," died at her home near Seaside this morning. How old she was nobody knows definitely. By some she Is said to have been IOC years of age, but as near as can be Judged from her own story she was born about 1S19, and would thus have been 6 years old at the time of her death. Her Indian name was Tsln-ls-tum. and her mother's name was Wasneask. but the name of her father she either would not tell or did not know. About 1835 Tsln-is-tum was married to Wah-tat-kum, the last chief of the Nehalem tribe, who died in 18G0. Three years afterwards she mar ried one Michel Martlneau, a Canadian Frenchman. Her last husband was al ways spoken of as Michel. So she was called Mrs. Michel and was given the "Boston" name of Jennie. Mrs. Michel claimed to have remember ed when Dr. McLaughlin bombarded tho Indian village at the mouth of the Co lumbia River in 1829, saying she was a little girl at the time and that her father was killed during the bombardment. She also claimed that her father and uncle knew Lewis and Clark, and the latter went hunting with the explorers several times. A few years ago she pointed out the location of the Lewis and Clark salt cairns near the ocean beach, and said the Indians had often told her of the white men coming there to make salt, adding .that she could remember when the spot where Grimes Grove is situated was a waste of sand, the trees having crown up since she was a young girl. Mrs. Michel and a granddaughter of Chief Twilch, who lives at Bay Center, Wash., are said to be the last of the full- blooded Clatsop Indians, a tribe that is now practically extinct.

In addition to her Ave children, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, she left an aged brother and sister. Rev. Jacob Drlnkwater and Mrs. Alex.

DECIDES ON DENTISTS' LICENSE Supreme Court Declares a Washing. ton Statute Is Unconstitutional. OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 18. (Special.) That portion of the statute of 1S01 regu lating the practice ot dentistry, which re quires a license from the State Board of Dental Examiners as a prerequisite to "owning, running or managing" a dental office Is unconstitutional, according to an opinion of the Supreme Court filed today in the case of State of Washington re spondent, vs. Edwin J. Brown, appellant. The opinion of the court in this, cass Achievement! cases of Champagne than has ever impertations speak in the strongest peat popular esteem la wjuca U. ri. MUM r wan. on ton toaunsnL should bo distinguished from an opinion filed December 22, 1901. in the case ot Smith vs. the Board of Dental Exam iners. Tho opinion In the Smith case sus tains the statutory rcQulrement for II censing the "practice of dentistry," and the opinion filed today affects only that portion relating to tho owning, running or managing of a dental business. The court says: "We are unable to say or perceive that the health, moral or physical welfare of the public or any of the personal or prop erty rights of its individuals are endan gered bjr the ownership and management of a dental office, so long as those em ployed therein to do the actual dentistry work are qualified and licensed, as by law required." OBJECT TO CUTTING MACHINE Workmen on Library Building Strike Because of Planer. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. IS. (Special.) A strike of stonecutters on the new pub lic library building is now in force, al though it is not expected to last long. Tho trouble arises because Cawsey & Carney, contractors of the building, have Installed a stone planer to hurry the work along. The union cutters, although not objecting to the introduction of the planer at the timo the firm placed an or der for it, now declare they are unable to work In a yard where it is employed. The union men refuse to make a state ment of their side of the case, while Mr. Cawsey does not hesitate to make plain all the facts in his possession. "When we decided to make the pur chase the union men came to us with a copy of the San Francisco yard rules, and asked ,us if we wero willing to accept them. We Informed them that we were, and placed our order," said he. "We were employing 25 stonecutters, and the fact that we have the machine will not in any way reduce the number or the wages. We are willing that union men should operate the machine and receive union wages and that all hand cutters shall continue at their work. However, we do not think It fair to allow us to place the order for the machine and then object to working with it." VETOES PUBLIC SQUARE BILL Governor Listens to Protest of La Grande City Officials. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 18. (Special.) Upon the protest of the Mayor and ,City Council of La Grande, Governor Chamberlain today .vetoed Senate bill 209, by McDonald, to amend the char ter, of La Grande. The purpose' of the bill was to vacate a public square, by which act the abutting property-owners would become owners of the land vacated. Governor Chamberlain says in his message that the proposed change seems not to have been discussed by the people of La Grande prior to its in troduction. The veto messago then con tinues: In matters purely local, the protest of the 5uly elected representatives of the people ot the locality affected is entitled to the gravest consideration, but aside from the protest of the authorities and citizens of La Grande. I do not believe that the Legislature has power to vacate a public rquaro in any city or to vacate portions of Kreets which have been dedicated, and practically appropriate thorn portions of the street attempted to be vacated AGED EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS DALLAS, Or..

I have not had piles of any kind since, and It is all owing to this wonderful remedy. My nurse took a box, which I was glad to be able to give her, for I know she will be able to help lots of suffering people whom I could never see or know.
