(The Legislature has set up Institutions at other places In violation of the constitution.) Giving one Legislature power to pro pose constitutional amendments and re quiring the referendum on legislative acts that call for a constitutional con vention. (Two successive Legislatures must now propose amendments.) OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 7. (Spe cial..) Replies .are beinu received by W. S. TJ.'Ken to 'the circular letter ad dressed "to more than 1000 prominent voters of the state, asking for opinion on the proposed amendments to the Oregon Constitution and as to the ad visability of submitting the'm by initia tive petition to the voters next June. The letter was signed by T. A. McBrlde, Henry E. McGinn, J. N. Teal, a E. S. Wood, Frank Williams, Charles H. Cau fleld, Ben Selling. F. E. Beach, F. Mc Xercher, J. E. Hedges, E. G. Caufield, C. Schuebel, C. H. Gram, B. G. Xeedy. George M. Orton, H. G. Kundret and IV.. S. U'Ren. In the replies thus far received the least popular of the proposed amend ments are those giving the people the power? to discharge any public officer by vote at a special election, and 'an other 'for allowing the enactment ' of Jaws for the election of officers by pro portional or minority representation. Of the 55 who have expressed opinions on these two amendments, 35 Indorse the proposed discharge of a public of ficer, while only 32 approve of legisla tion providing for proportional repre sentation in the election of officers. The proposed amendment granting to the people tho right to call a spe cial election as a means of discharging a public official has raised the greatest discussion and severe criticism. Op position to this proposed amendment has been presented by men of such prominence in the affairs of the state that the friends of the amendment may decide to revise it. to the end that a greater percentage of the voters must sign a petition before a special election can be called for ousting a public of ficial than is required In the amend ment as it is now drafted. These ad verse opinions are from men who, in the main, approve of the proposed leg islation, but find It impracticable to indorse the amendment as It Is now presented. Moreland. In Opposition. In opposing the amendment provid ing for a special election for ousting a public official, J. C- Moreland writes from Portland: "I am opposed to the second pro posed amendment as proposed. And these are. my reasons: No man is elect ed to publlp office who has not at least' 25 per cent of the voters against him. Under this amendment thlB 25 per cent could he cal line elections nt nn- (mo and the country thus be kept In con tinual turmoil. If the per cent were raised so that a majority vote, or at lenst a vote equal to the number the person received, were required, it would be a good thing. "Another reason is that the matter of this referendum is now on trial. I believe, If not abused, the power will prove of great advantage, but ir abused it will b abandoned. Tq give ep small a majority the power to call an eleotlon whenever they chose would cauHe such expense and turmoil that it would in jure the cause. True, the good sense and fairness of the majority may al ways be relied on. but shall we say that the small minorltj' proposed shall be allowed to be continually seoklng to set aside the will of the majority?" In criticising the same amendment, C. M. Tfllemari. ot-Portland, says: ""Number 2 has a tendency upon the whole to foster dishonesty, to promul gate unrest and to prevent securing the best talent for office. No good-result Is achieved by continually hang ing ,over the head of an officer the sword of Damocles. No man was ever reformed by smelling sulphur, very few have been driven over the battlements of heaven with a double-barrel shot gun, and no wrongs are righted by placing a pistol at the ear. In my opin ion, the greatest Inducement for an of ficer to perform good service Is his be lief that he will be again elected, nnd not the fear that he will be bounced If he is derelict of duty.' Just as In England. Indorsement cf this amendment, how ever, is hud by a number of other vot ers, principal among them being W. C Bristol, of Portland, who writes: "Your No. 2 on page 3 or your folder is substantially the same practice as is common with the British government of taking a vote of confidence, as to which no public-spirited man seeking office could have any reasonable objection. Your Illustration in your argument is very apt but you could have as well applied "it to -the colonies rather than to have confined It" to the House of Commons. I was In Victoria last year "when a vot of confidence was taken by the Board of Assemblymen, which Is the same thing in that country as a governing City Council. Tho object you seek can be enlarged, upon also from "numerous" instances in Europe." F. Domjnic, O. S. B., of the Mount Angel College, in a letter. Indorsing the proposed amendments, says: - 'As a bbrn Swiss I sympathize the . pre with all your' suggestions be causa almost all the reforms which you have inaugurated already and which you propose in your printed statement, are working admirably In the land of my birth. And even if same of tfie proposed reforms , should not ultimately work well here, why not test them and ex periment with them as you so well say? I am in favor of all seven amendments, which you suggest in your circular, and also, the anti-pass law, not because I am sure of the practicability of all of these suggestions under our constitu tion, but because they are worthy of a fair .test. "I feel particularly Interested in the ultimate victory of youruggestlon in favor of proportional representation. I must especially commend your argu- ment after every proposed amendment. They are very concise and convincing." Trfitiatlve Is in Favor. In the 55 replies that have been re ceived, representing all political parties and factions, there is expressed a prac tically unanimous sentiment favoring the proposed amendments giving the people Initiative and referendum pow ers on all local, special and. municipal laws, and single items of appropriation bills. Fifty are In favor of granting to the people this right. . Almost equally popular is the pro posed amendment for allowing the State Printer's office, duties and salary to be regulated or abolished by law. A great majority of those replying favor the abolition of this office and suggest that this work be done by contract or under the- direction, of a board consist ing of tho Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer. So pronounced is the sentiment favoring this proposed amendment, that some of those who originated the movement for thus as certaining public sentiment on these questions, feel Inclined to so amend it .as to provide for the abolishment of the office of State Printer before sub mitting the question for further consid eration. As was expected the sentiment thus far expressed Is almost unanimous for the ennctment of an anti-pass law. Of 53 opinions on this subject, 50 favor anti-pass legislation. Regarding the pass question, J. A Fulton, of Astoria, says: "t favor making it compulsory on the part of transportation companies to give passes to all public officials while they are in office. This will settle the pasR question." Snffrage for the Immigrants. Mr. Fuiton also suggests the need of revising the law to the extent that the right of suffrage he denied foreigners until they 'nave resided here at least five years. He says: "It is time wo of Oregon ohange our laws so it will require all persons com ing Into this country from loreign lands to become full citizens having lived here five years and beng able to read Thanatopsls in our native tongue be fore they be allowed to vote at any election."

MATT TIED TO' PILING WAS OX THE WASHINGTON SIDE OF THE COLUMBIA. I Judge McBrlde Holds Orejcon Court Han No Jurisdiction la Case BreHfTat Up. ASTORIA Or., Oct. 7. (Speolal.) The decision of Judge McBrlde last evening in dismissing the charge of as sault with a dangerous weapon -against Joseph Burke on. the ground of lack of Jurisdiction of the court. Is one which Is expected to have an Important bear Jng on numerous cases In the future. The allegod assault was admitted by the prosecution to have taken place on a craft tied to a piling, which was driven in the river on the "Washington side of the. ship's channel, but the act admitting Oregon to statehood gave this state concurrent Jurisdiction over the waters of the Columbia River and the prosecution contended that this act gave the Circuit Court of Clatsop county jurisdiction In this case. The court, however, held differently. In his ruling Jcdse McBrlde followed the line of the decision rendered by Federal Judges Hanford and Bellinger in the case of the State of Oregon vs. Charles wiken, although he went fur ther than did the Federal Judges, and decided a point that has never before been passed upon by a court. The wiken case was one in which the de fendant was arrested for illegally operating a fishtrap in Baker's Bay. He was inea ana convicted in a local court The Federal' Court reversed tho decision of the lower court and held that the concurrent Jurisdiction did not apply to tho regulation of flshtrans which are attached to tho Washington shore and uIbo It only applied in' cases where the laws of. the two states are Identical. Judge McBrlde in his ruling last evening concurred with this decision and added that whenever an offense oc cur on a vessel that- Is tied to piling anven in Washington soil the courts or this state have no Jurisdiction. Con tinulng, he said that while the oues tion is a cloA one, he will adopt a rule that shall obtain In his court In the fu tur of not entertaining any case, cither civil or criminal. Involving property on the north sido of the main ship's channel of the Columbia River, which 1b the boundary line between the two states, tho only exception being In stances that arise on water craft that is at the time actually navigating the waters of the Columbia River that is a craft which is not attached to any anven piieand is not lying at anchor.

TRIES TO CUT HIS THROAT Nathaniel rclvln, of Vallejo, Cl.' Just Out , bf -Asylum, Attacks Family With Knife, Re volver and Ball Bat.' VALLEJO. Cal., Oct. 7. SpecIal.)-De- claring -that his own family was trying to take his life. Nathaniel Melvln, aged G rears, for many years foreman calker at the Mare Island navy-y&rd. and a promi nent citizen, shot and fatally wounded his wife and seriously wounded his daughter. Mrs. P. E. Radcllffe, at the family resi dence In thls-clty th;s morning. A mmuto later Melvln took a large breadKnlfe and attempted to cut hid throat, but the blade was dull, and the sight of the blood seemed to restore the crazed man to his senses. Melvln has been an Inmate of the Napa Insane Asylum on three different occa sions, being released on parole three months ago. Only lask week his son wrote a letter to the asylum authorities asking for a permanent discharge for Melvln. This request is still pending. Melvln secured his son's revolver, a baseball bat and a large hrcadknlfe early this morning. After Mrs. Melvln and Mrs. Radcllffe had said good-bye to the two sons of the family and Mrs. Rad cllffe s husband, who Is Boatswain ir. is. Radcllffe, of the United States ship Sol ace, they started to return to the house. As they did so two bullets from a re volver In the hands of the elder Melvln came through the wall, and a moment later Melvin himself, clad only In his nightgown, and with the smoking revolver in one hand and the Knife ana oaseoau bat In the other, tore open the front door and stepped out on the front porch of the house. Mrs. Melvin uttered a scream and fled. As she ran. Melvln fired two shots at her. One entered the pit of her stomach, and has not yet been found. The other flew wide of its mark. Mrs. Radcllffe cried to her father for mercy, but he turned on her with a curse and fired the last bullet in the revolver. The bullet entered Mrs. Radcliffe's breast Just below the heart, and. striking a rib. took a down ward course. It was found later, near tho small of the back, and removed. The whole neighborhood was on the scene In a minute, and Melvln rushed back Into the house, threatening' to kill the first man who entered. Abe Schuffler. who lives near-by, se cured a revolver and entered the house, and found the old roan in his own room, attempting to cut his throat with a large brcadknlfe. The police officers had ar rived by this time, and disarmed Melvin and placed him in a strait-Jacket Mrs. Melvln's condition Is critical, and the doctors hold out no hope for recov er'. Mrs. Radcllffe is suffering, but-hopes for her life are held out. Melvin was taken to the police station, where he was bound and made harmless, but only nftor a terrible struggle. He was removed to the Napa State Hospital at noon. GENERAL WTSII FOR HARMONY "Many Prominent Marion Republi cans Will Attend Conference SALEM, Or., Oct. 7. (Special.) "From the Information I can gather in talking with prominent Republicans of tills coun ty, the attendance from here will be large and vers enthusiastic for the cause which prompted the calling of the Republican conference at Portland, October 12," says Hal D. Patton, state committeeman for Marion County. "I find a general desire for harmony and unity In the ranks of the party, and a de termination to "bury all past animosities and factional differences. It seems to be fully realised that the Republican party is much bigger and greater than any man in It: and that the principles for which it stands are deserving of the support of every citizen of Republican proclivities. The belief is that principle must be set above men, and that the organization of the party must be with a view to the suc cess of principles rather than t Individ uals. "Marion County Republicans In large numbers will go to this conference, actu ated by the motives thus indicated, and it will be my aim to afford every Republi can from this county an opportunity to be present and hear the deliberations. To carry out this purpose. I have not only had published in the press of this county a general invitation, but have sent out to party workers furnished me by the pre cinct committeemen, personal invitation. I Intend going to Portland early In the week and establish a Marlon County head quarters, and give each Republican such credentials as will secure admittance. As there will be an Immense crowd, some system will have to be adopted which will Insure scats for all, and my determina tion is to give everybody a fair show and a mi u are deal. It will be a grand and suc cessful gathering In every way." ATTORNEY ENTERS DEMURRER Jurisdiction of Court Denied In Ore gon City Councllmcn Case. OREGON CITY, Or.. Oct 7. (Special.)

Just west of tho Portland Mountain, Is excited over the possibility of losing her Majwr. Dr. F. M. Roblnsorr. and one Councilman. Al bert Davles. Some months ago the City Council decided to put a stop to the ship ping in of fertilizer, which Is used in large quantities by the colony of gardeners from whom tho village receives Its chief support. An ordinance was passed prohibiting the importation of fertilizer and garbage, and David Reghitto. known all over the coun ty as the "Onion King." decided to test the statute.

A roan of large affairs in one of our prominent' Eastern cities by too close attention to business, too little exer cise and too many club dinners, finally began to pay Nature's tax, levied In the form of chronic stomach trouble; the failure of his digestion brought a nerv ous irritability making it impossible to apply himself to his daily business and finally deranging the kidneys and heart In his own words he says: "1 consult ed one physician after another and each one seemed to understand my case, but all the same they .each failed to bring about the return of my former dlges tion, appetite and vigor. For two years I went from pillar, to post from one sanitarium to another, I gavo up smok ing. I quit coffee and even renounced my daily glass or two of beer, without any marked Improvement "Friends had often advised me to try a well-known 'proprietary medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I had often perused the newspaper advertise ments of the remedy but never took any. stock in advertised medicines, nor could believe a 50-cent patent medicine would touch my case. "To make a long atory short I finally bought a couple of packages at the nearest drugstore and took two or three tablets after each meal and occasionally a tablet between meals, when I felt any feeling of nausea or discomfort "I was surprised at the. end of the first week to note a marked improve ment in my appetite and general health and before the two packages were gone I was certain that Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets was going to cure com pletely and they did not disappoint roe. I can cat and' sleep and enjoy my coffee and cigar and no one would suppose. I had ever known the horrors of dyspepsia. "Out of frlenJly curiosity I wrote to the proprietors, of the remedy asking for information as to what the tablets contained and they replied that the principal ingredients were aseptic pep sin (government test), malt diastase and other natural digestives, which dl gest food regardless of the condition of the slomach." The root of the matter Is this, the digestive elements contained in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food. give the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate and the nerves and whole system to receive the nourishment which can only gome from food. Stim ulants and nerve tonics never give real strength, they give fictitious strength, invariably followed by reaction. Every drop of blood, every nerve and tissue is manufactured from our dally food. and if you can insure its prompt action and complete digestion by the regular use of so good and wholesome a remedy as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, you will have no need of nerve tonics and sani tariums. Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been in the market only a few yearsv proTM'My every druggist In the United States, Canada and Great Bri tain aow sells them and considers them the most popular and successful of any preparation for stomach trouble.
