The State of Washington this FH will,
almost without question, elect a Legis
lature In which Republicans pledged to
lote for their party clioloc f'r Inited
Plates Senator will constitute a clear
majority of all the members.
Reports hae been received from all
bet two of the J9 legislative district,
and from all of the t? Senatort.il dis
trirts. showing that on the Republican
side more than thrce-fovrth .f the
candidates have subscribed to the Sena
torial pledge as It la set forth In the
direct primary law. Out of 275 Republi
can candidates for the House or Senate.
IIS are pledged and " are not.
Kcm Democrat Take Pledge.
If there Is any other result than a
rtedged legislature. It will be due to the
fact that the proportion of Democratic
members will be much greater in the
next session than In the last.
In Washington, as in Oregon, the most
persistent houters for "people's rule' In
the election of I'nited States Senator
mrrr found among the Democrats, but
a jer!i'irltv of the situation In
Washington is that ' whereas moic than
three out of every four Rcpublicuns have
subscribed to the statutory pledge, only
fne.oul of three Democrat has done so.
There are 91 Democrats who have filed
declaration of candidacy for places in
ft. Legislature and of those only 33 are
rcdged to vote for the choice of iheir
party fur L'nlt'-J States Senator, while
M have filed no pledge whatever on the
subject.
Democrat ton Id l'pet Plan-.
In the last Legislature the Democrats
rad nine members. If the Democrats
should Increase this representation to IS
er more. It would be within the range of
possibilities that the pledged Republican
would not constitute a majority of the
legislature, and the party expression at
the primaries might not be carried out.
This possibility, even with the elec
tion of the 13 Democrats. however,
would be remote, for to attain such
result It woultl be necessary for the -Ke-I
ubllcans to elect an unpledged member
in every district where one Is running.
f tin-1 Republicans who are unpledged j
several are contesting with each other j
In the same districts, and It Is possible i
to elect onlv 32 unpledged House mens- I
bera and 13 unpledged Senators or 47 In
all. In the Senate there are 19 hold
over, but at least two of these have
rtrcl.-red that, although pledged when
elected two years ago. they will not con
sider themselves hound to vote for MUcs
poindext-r if l.e should receive a plur
ality of the Republican votes cast In the
primaries.
Holdover May lie tnplcdged.
These two Senators are A. S. Ruth,
ef Olympla. and Arvld Rydstrom. of Ta
conia. The last Senate was very dis
tinctly divided Into two factions of one
ef which Ruth was the leader. It is
believed here that of the 19 holdovers
seven would follow his lead, making
eltjht In all of the holdovers who might
be placed In the unpledged column. This
would give a total of 66 unpledged Repub
lican members.
The number necessary to elect a
fnltcd States Senator .' 70. and If the

NO NEW FORESTS WANTED
Congress Alone Can Establish
Reserves in Six States.
PRESIDENT SEEKS POWER
Chance in Statute Would Allow Ex
ecutive lo Follow Flnchot .Meth
od not! Exclude Settlers
From Unlimited Area.
By Harry J. Brown.
ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. Sept. 10. President Taft
probably will encounter difficulty ii
pcrst-.ading Congress to repeat what 1s
known as the Fulton act. which pro
hibits the creation or enlargement of
National forests In Oregon. Washing
ton. Idaho.. Montana. Wyoming or Col i
rado. exrept by act of Congress.
Not that there will be general oppo
sition to the repeal of this law, for
tliere will he no such opposition, but
there are a few men In Congress from
the states named, particularly in tha
Se'nate. who may object to any such
change In existing statute, and these
men may be able to make cor.siderabl ?
trouble If they determine to oppose the
President's plan.
The President, in the course of his
study of the conservation problem,
found that there Is considerable un
reserved timber land In the six states
named which might and unquestionably
would have been added to the National
forests ere this, but for the prohibi
tion of Congress. Kven now this land
ould be added If Congress, by special
act. should so decree. But the Presi
dent fears it would be difficult in
many cases to Increase the National
forest areas In these Northwestern
states by act of Congress; and more
over, he holds that tin' Kxecutlve
should have the same unrestrlcte J
right to create National forests In Ore
gon or Washington or Iduho that he
has In California. Nevada, the Dakota,
or any other of the Western states no',
named In the Fulton act. In other
words. If It is right that the President
may create National forests by procla
mation In one public land state, ' he
should have that right, he maintain",
In every public land state. It Is uni
formity that he desires, and Incidental
ly he want to enlarge the forests .rt
the six states by the addition of ap
proximately 1.000,000 acres.
New Forest Xot Intended.
When the President first announced
his purpose to ask Congress to repeal the
Fulton act it was believed that he had
In mind the creation of a number of new
National forests in Uie states affected
by that law. but Inquiry developed the
fact that such was not the purpose. In
deed, it Is not believed by the officials
of the Forest Service that the President
has in mind the creation of any new for
ests: he merely desires to add to some
already created scattered townships of
abutting timber land. No great area In
any one state Is to be added to the Na
tional forest If the President has his way
and not to exceed I.OOO.OOO acres In the
six states.
During the past Summer agents of the
Forest Service have been making a. care
ful survey of the boundaries of all Na
tional forests In the West, as directed
by Secretary Wilson. Their purpose has
been to locate all tracts of agricultural
or grazing land that have been em
bodied In the National forests, ani when
such lands have been found on the ex
terior limits of a forest, they have been
mapped and are now being eliminated
and restored to the public domain. Some
thing like S.000.000 acres of agricultural
and grazing land has been or will be
eliminated "as a result of these boundary
surve s.

Immense Kelics. One 3 7 Feet Long,
Found Imbedded In Cement
Gravel Outlines Perfect.
SAN ANDREAS, Cal.." Sept. 10.
(Special.) Word has been brought
here from Railroad Flat that in the
tunnel of the Bouvolr mine, near the
Calaveras river. 13 miles Last of Moke
lumne Hill, two Immense petrified fish
were found a few days ago, one 37
feet long and the other 15.
The longest one was lengthwise of
the tunnel and the minors had blaste.i
into it some distance before they de
termined what It was. Then it was too
late to preserve it. large portions hav
ing been blown to pieces. The othr
one was crosswise and the tunnel was
put through it.
The fish were Imbedded In cement
gravel and had no doubt been there
many centuries. since' gravel filled
what must have been In the remote
past an Immense inland sea. The out
lines of the fish were perfect and dis
tinct, every scale, fin. head, tall, gills
and other organs being traceable. Por
tions have been saved.
Scientists have never studied this
country and the a?re of the gravel de
posits is unknown. . Fisli were never
found in mines here before. Tusks of
some prehistoric animal once were
found, but they crumbled on being ex
posed to the air. These fish were 20 -o
40 feet beneath the surface of the
ground.

NEW YORK. Sept. 10. (Special.)
Developments of this afternoon in the
Chanler-Cavalicii marital sensation
showed that the tanjle which has
caused an international sensation is
based on money.
Robert Wlnthrop Chanler, before his
marriage, signed over to the singer aH
his Interests In an income of $50,000 a
year from an estate of $1,000,000 held
in trust In this country. Mme. Caval
lerl was to receive $30,000 anpually,
the remaining $20,000 going in form of
s'lmony to the artist's divorced wife.
The trustees of the Chanler estate
declare they will not pay a cent to
Cavallerl.' agreement or no agreement,
unless "some American court orders
them to do It.
Family Council Called.
Chanler, unable to get any of the
money himself when in Paris and un
able to live up to his agreement with
his bride because of the attitude of
the trustees, hurried here to try to ar
range matters. The result is that to
morrow relatives of the artist will meet
in family .conference to devise ' plarrs
whereby the prlma-donna may not get
the money promised to her by her hus
band. On Cavalieri'e side It appears tYiat the
possibility that after marriage Chanler
might regret his action and assert that he
was deceived into signing the agreement
without knowing of his wife's adventurous
career was forseen. To offset this, an
amazing confesnion was made by the
singer to her husband before the agree- j
mem was oroi.gni to mm. -acting upon
the advice of two prominent Parisian
lawyers, fine told him everything of her
past.
Of her many admirers he was informed
In every detail and nothing of her acts
that had made her so much talked of
throughout Europe was kept from him.
She even went so far as to gain hie
consent to acknowledge the paternity of
her lGlyear-old son, whom Chanler had
never seen and who was borxi when the
Artist never had even heard of the
einger.
Now the situation wenis to be that
Chanler must get the money he promised
to his bride or lose her. So deeply doftt
he still love her that he s her to right
for th income so that he may hand It
over to her.
1 At his studio on Fifth avenue, Chanler
was In consultation with several of his
friends, but he refused to discuss the
reports from Paris.
Reports of the differences between the
Chanlers have been frequent for weeks.
Mme. Cavallerl, who Is recovering from
an operation for appendicitis, is at her
Summer home near Trouville, In France.

no attempt according to a dispatch
from Madrid, to disguise the belief H

BANK EXAMINERS ARE LAX

"WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. Controller
of the Currency Muriay, In a statement

his statement addressed to examiners,
said:
"In almost every case of a National
bank failure, since 1 have been Control
W," the insolvency- could - have been
averted, " had the Nat;onal bank exam
iners determined the true condition and
reported his. findings in time for me
to force a correction In the administra

Condemning the excuses made by
bank examiners. Mr. .Murray said lie
had been compelled to undertake a per
sonal examination of the conditions In
every district, so as to ascertain at
first hand why an examiner was unable
to discover impending disaster in the
affairs of a bank.
After reciting that examiners of
failed banks had offered excuses that
they had been unable to learn in ad
vance of a bank's true condition, that
officers and directors of hanks would
not correct conditions brought to their
attention, or any one ot another dozen
reasons, Mr. Murray says:
'The Controller Is of tiie opinion
that a board of directors which will
