BUDGET TO BE HELD DOWN
Attorney-General Otferg to Draft
Bills Proposed by Legislators to
Prevent Necessity of Inter
pretations by Courts.
OLTMPIA. Wash., Nov. 21. (Special.)
If the announced plans of state of
ficials and of legislative leaders go
Into effect, the Fourteenth Washington
Legislature, which convenes here Jan
uary 11, 1915. will be noted for three
things, in startling contrast with pre
vious Legislatures of recent years.
These will be an economical programme
as to appropriations, a comparatively
email number of new laws and prac
tically none of freakish tendencies,
and carefully-drafted measures to
avoid later legal complications.
The Legislature of 1913 passed ap
propriation bills which exceeded by
several millions of dollars, the high
water mark of previous sessions, de
spite free use of the veto power by
Governor Lister. A considerable por
tion of the increases were unavoidable.
As to how many were unnecessary no
two critics agree, but the impression
among the voters of the state follow
ing the session was that the Legisla
ture was the most extravagant on
record. In consequence practically
every legislative candidate this year
ran on an economy platform. Repub
lican leaders have announced since the
election their intention of seeing that
these pre-election promises are com
plied with strictly, and as Governor
Lister has reiterated his intention of
using the veto again if appropriations
pass a. reasonable limit, there seems
but little doubt that the state treas
ury will be guarded carefully.
Budget to Be Presented. .
For the first time a budget outlining
the combined requests of the various
etate departments will be presented to
the coming Legislature. Although some
departments will ask for increased ap
propriations the state officials will be
able to point out that the Legislature
may have no fear that such appropri
ations will lead to extravagance. About
$1,000,000 of the amount appropriated
by the last Legislature will be re
turned at the end of the present bi
ennium. Of this amount $200,000 is
money not needed for initiative and
referendum expenses, $280,000 excess
appropriations for the purchase of Jute
for the penitentiary bag mill, and $30,
000, the unused appropriation for the
exchange of state lands in National
forests. The remaining $500,000 rep
resents a flat saving from the amounts
appropriated In the actual conduct of
state offices and institutions during
the present biennum. While the de
partments will ask sufficient appropri
ations to meet any possible emergen
cies, they promise to make similar re
turn at the end of the next biennium.
The defeat of all but two of the
Initiative and referendum measures
submitted at the recent election is
taken generally as an indication that
the voters are not clamoring this year
for a flood of new laws. Among the
more Important subjects that will come
before the Legislature are a "first aid,"
or medical attendance amendment to
the compensation act, establishment of
vocational training as a part of the
public school system, and adoption of
a water code, a subject put over by
several past Legislatures. The vari
ous state departments also have nu
merous recommendations, but these
concern principally amendments of ex
isting laws to make them more read
ily workable.
Freak lam Unlikely.
The composition of .the Legislature, !
which Is strikingly conservative. Is a
virtual guarantee that it will be a bad
year for freak measures. Two fea
tures of the membership of the com
ing session are of the number of sub
stantial business and professional men,
coming as new members, and the num
ber of seasoned veterans returning to
political life after an absence of many
years. .
Governor Lister and Attorney-General
Tanner have been co-operating for
several months in an effort to have
measures Intended for enactment pre
pared In proper form. All departments
under the Governor some months ago
prepared their proposed measures, and
the Attorney-General's office has
drafted the bills in oroper legal nkrase-
ology. Attorney-General Tanner now
Is offering the same service of draft
ing bills to members-elect of the Leg
islature, and during the session plans
to have one or more special assistants
on duty to continue this work. The
object of these preparations is to have
such measures as are enacted in proper
form, in an effort to reduce to a min
imum the work of the Attorney-General's
office and of the courts in at
tempting to Interpret Its enactments
after adjournment of the Legislature.
The loosely-drawn form of many of
the statutes has been" a source of much
trouble in past years and the' courts
have not yet decided all the points of
difficulty arising from the 1913 ses
sion laws.
"HALFWAY" LAW DECRIED
Bill of Committee of Hundred to Get
No Support From Cardwell.
ROSEBURG, Or Nov. 21. (Special.)
- No such bill as that proposed by the
Committee of One Hundred, and hav
ing for its purpose the enforcement of
the prohibition law in Oregon, will re
ceive my support," declared W. W.
Cardwell. Representative-elect from
Douglas County, today.
"The proposed measure of the com
mittee is the flimsiest kind of a make
shift." he added. "This state is either
going to be wet or dry, and no half
way measure will suffice."
"The bill seeks to prevent the dis
pensation of liquor in all public places,
even if It is given away; but permits
persons to keep liquor in their private
homes and dispense it at their private
tables. The court would be kept busy
year in and year out determining what
was a private home.
"The verdict of the people at the
recent election was for a dry state.
Personally, I am In favor of putting
that into execution. There is no use
Quibbling over the matter."
SUICIDE RESCUE ROMANTIC
"Widow Saves Life of Infantryman
for Family and He Is Glad.
To be saved by the quick wit of the
woman he loved and for whom he was
about to commit suicide was the ex
perience ot Fred Weller, 37 years old.
color sergeant of the Twenty-first In
fantry at Vancouver Barracks, yester
day afternoon.
Weller, who has a family residing at
"Vancouver, became Infatuated with Mrs.
Eva Earll, a widow employed In a down
town' hotel, but Mrs. Earll Is said to
have refused to accept his affections.
About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Earll told Captain of Detectives
Baty Weller visited her and declared
his love for her. She requested him
to leave, and Weller went to a drug
store, where he obtained a bottle of
carbolic acid, saying he wanted it to
use in cleaning a bird cage. Weller
then engaged a room in a Park-street
hotel. He wrote two letters, one being
a farewell note to Mrs. Earll and the
other was & letter to bis lodge.
Fearful lest Weller attempt suicide
Mrs. Earll summoned Detectives Tiche
nor and J. Moloney. The officers en
tered Weller's room with a pass key
just as the bottle of poison had reached
Weller's lips. The detectives seized the
poison. Weller was taken into custody,
and at detective headquarters he in
sisted on shaking hands with Tichenor.
"Ain't a man a fool to lose his bead
over a woman?" he grinned.
NOOSE NOW FAR BEHIND
MULTNOMAH COUNTY AO OS 281 TO
ANTI-HANGING TOTAL.
Abolishment of Capital Punishment
Appears Certain, Returns So Far
Showing; 283 Majority.
Complete returns from the tally
sheets of every precinct In Multnomah
County have added 218 votes to the
former majority of 65 votes In favor
of the amendment to abolish capital
punishment in Oregon, and give the
measure a final favorable majority of
283 in the state. The measure doubt
less has carried.
The' total vote In the state In favbr
of the abolition of the death penalty
now is 100,552, against it 100,269.
These figures include the official
vote from every county except Lin
coln and Wallowa, and the complete
but unofficial vote from those two
counties. The Multnomah County vote
is official for 258 of the 326 precincts.
The previous totals presented by The
Oregonian contained unofficial figures
from Lincoln and Wallowa as well as
from Josephine and Wheeler counties,
but the official figures from Josephine
and Wheeler have been found to coin
cide exactly with the unofficial returns.
It is improbable, therefore, that the
official reports from the missing
counties will change the result.
The present figure on the measure In
Multnomah County, complete from the
tally sheets, is 33,115 in favor of abo
lition and 30,732 against It a majority
in its'favor of 471. The previous unof
ficial figures compiled from the pre
cinct statements were 30,732 for and
30,479 against, a majority of only 253. -
The result means that persons con
victed of murder in Oregon cannot be
hanged as a penalty for their crimes..
Inasmuch as the amendment carried
no provision specifying a substitute
penalty persons convicted of murder In
the first degree can go unpunished.
lawyers declare. District attorneys and
prosecuting orncers in the state al
ready have initiated the practice of
charging persons accused of homicide
with murder in the second degree, for
which the penalty may be fixed at life
imprisonment.
It is probable that the next Lesri
lature will fix the penalty for murder
in the first degree at life Imprisonment.
GIRL'S SLAYER IS HELD
JUDGE REGRETS HE CANT SEN
TENCE TRONSON TO GALLOWS.
Attorney for Girl's Slayer Waives Pre
liminary Examination and Prisoner
Is Hound Over.
"My only regret Is that I can't sen
tence you to hang."
Municipal Judge Stevenson declared
the above yesterday morning Just be
fore he held Fred Tronson, confessed
slayer of Miss Emma Ulrlch, over to
the grand Jury on a charge of first-
degree murder.
Tronson was brought Into court and
he exhibited a look of coldness and In
difference to what tranepired in the
room. He gazed coolly about the court
room, which had been crowded early
In the morning with curiosity seekers.
rronson occupied the same seat In
the courtroom" 5s on August 8, when
he was arratrred on a charge of car
rying concealed weapons. He stood up
when first brought Into the courtroom,
but soon appeared to lose his nerve
and he sank to his seat.
When hia name was called off by
Deputy Court Clerk Crounse. Tronson
arcse and answered In a clear, defying
voice. Attorney Dan Powers, his coun
sel, waived preliminary examination
and Tronson was bound over to the
grand Jury. It was reported that Tron
son would be charged with second
degree murder because of the uncer
tainty of the result of prosecution
under a first-degree charge, for which
the anti-capital punishment bill has
been Interpreted as revoking the only
penalty. It was decided, however, to
draw up a complaint charging first
degree homicide.
Tronson was removed to the County
Jail later in the day.
DEPUTY CHARGES BRIBERY
Seattle Marshal Says Witness List
Against ex-Interpreter Sought.
SEATTLE, Nov. 21. Deputy United
States Marshal H. V. R. Anderson tes
tified today that Hartvig Norman, an
ex-Deputy Sheriff, offered him a bribe
of 11000 if he would secure a list of the
Government witnesses against Frank
H. Tape, ex-Chinese Interpreter In the
Immigration Service, who is on trial
in the Federal Court, along with Vic
tor M. Place,' China Dan and Chin Kim,
charged with conspiring to intimidate

District Attorney Clay Allen intro
duced evidence that Lum Kong, prin
cipal witness against Tape and who
was murdered by a highbinder last
September, had lived in fear of as
sassination because of threats made
against him when it became known
he was to be a Government witness.
City detectives testified that China Dan
admits trying to scare Lum Kong, who,
China Dan said, was a stoolpigeon for
the Government.
WASCO SCHOOLS AID, TOO

WASCO. Or.. Nov. 21. (Special.)
The pupils and teachers of the Wasco
public schools unanimously have de
cided to use their funds, which usually
go for an exchange of Christmas pres
ents, to buy flour and send to Bel

ORPHEUfil IS HALTED
Opening of New Theater De
layed Over Boycott.
HEILIG TO HOUSE SHOW
Acts to Be Staged at Broadway and
Taylor Today and Tomorrow.
Considine Decides on Step
Pending Labor Conference.
As a result of the boycott on the Or
pheum Theater building and the re
fusal of union men to play In the or
chestra the Orpheum will not be opened
formally tonight In the new playhouse
at Stark street and Broadway, as
originally schndulea.
Instead John W. Considine, owner of
the Orpheum franchise in the North
west, decided late last nlerht to put on
the opening Orpheum bills today and
tomorrow, ootn the matinee and even
ing performances, at the Heilig The
ater, on Broadway at Taylor street.
The moving-picture show scheduled for
the Heilig has been set aside.
In another section of The Oregonian.
which went to press last night before
the Orpheum officials decided not to
open in the new home, is an announce
ment that the theater would be dedl
cated tonight. This announcement was
counteracted too late to be corrected.
He theater managers do not yet
know whether their present week's bill
win continue after tomorrow night.
Mr. Considine has announced that he
will not play in the new house until
the difficulty with the Portland Cen
tral Labor Council is adjusted satis
factorily.
Vote By Unions Required.
As "The Poor Little Rich Girl" opens
at the Heilig Tuesday night that house
win not be available any longer and It
has been suggested that the old Heilig
l heater at Eleventh and Morrison
streets might be used temporarily.
ihe theater managers have been ne
gotiating with the union officers dur
ing the past few days, but have not as
yet come to an agreement and it is said
that a complete settlement will not be
possible before the end of the week be
cause the subject will have to be put
to a vote of the various uniohd af
fected.
The entire trouble began when John
W. Blodgett owner of the Orpheum
building and the property on which It
rests, awarded the contract for the
construction of the building to the Hur
ley-Mason Company, an open-shop con
cern. When John W. Considine leased
the building for 10 years it is said he
did not know that a boycott existed on
the building.
Considine Kavors Unions.
The fact that he stands for union la
bor Is announced as his reason for can
celing the dedication of the new build
Jng, planned for tonight, when he
found all angles of the controversy
could not be adjusted. He said last
night that each of his 19 theaters was
built by union labor and that he em
ploys nothing but union labor in any
of his houses. In this instance, he
declares, he is being made the inno
cent victim of circumstances, but he is
resolved to suffer a loss rather than
defy the unions by opening with non
union men in the orchestra nit.
After the lease had been signed for
me Dunaing ar. Considine was advised
of the boycott and took steps to ar
range for the employment of union
men throughout the building. His reu-
resentatlves effected this arrangement
with all sub-contractors except the
concerns which had charge of the sheet
metai worn and the Installation of the
inside electricity. Accordingly the
Doycott remained on the building.
W. M. Davis, Mr. Considlne's attor
ney, said last night that he did not
know what proceeding would now be
necessary to settle the difficulty, but
that they stood ready to do everything
necessary to bring about a. satisfac
tory adjustment
Tickets May Be Changed.
It was announced Friday that a non
union orchestra was being rehearsed
to insure the opening performances
tonight, but Mr. Considine would not
consent to such an arrangement. The
Portland Musicians' Union has been
instructed by Its National president,
Frank Carothers, of New York, not to
permit union men to play at the Or
pheum in Portland until the disagree
ment between the owners of the house
and the Central Labor Council is ad
justed. George E. Jeffery, president of
the Portland union, said that they
would obey these orders.
In case those who have purchased
tickets for Orpheum performances la
the new building wish to turn in their
tickets and receive their money back
they may do so. It was announced.
Ticket adjustments for today and to
morrow may be made at the Heilig.

OLTMPIA, Wash.. Nov. 21. The
State Supreme Court today held that
counties in Western Washington are
not entitled to receive credit on the
assessment rolls for the mileage of

CONCERT RARE TREAT
CHAMBER MUSIC DELIGHTS AUDI
ENCE AT MUSEUM OF ART.
Mrs. Pipes, Mr. Konrad and Mr. Hutch

' Selections.
Chamber music is often called a
pleasant experience for the ultra-musl-caL
It Is looked up to as something for
the elect; something so technical that
the ordinary citizen calls extraordinary
in the way of musical relaxation.
If any such doubts existed as to the
nearly divine, or rather ethereal, mis
sion of chamber music to elevate and
refine, these doubts would have been
dissipated had one attended the highly
educative- chamber-music recital that
took place last night In the main
studios at the Museum of Art. the in
strumentalists being Mrs. Susie Fennell

were rendered, the Arensky "Trio No. 2.
opus 73," with four movements, and the
Godard "Trio in F, opus 72." also with
four movements llegro moderato, ada

Intermission was observed between the

so laitnruny, ana so admirable com
rades are they, that perfect musical
good fellowship and unanimity exist.
The result is that this rare spirit is re-

treat out of the ordinary Is presented
and enjoyed.
When the chamber-music concert is
in progress the only light In the large
room is wnere tne musicians are. and
the remainder of the auditorium is dark.
The effect is singularly restful to the
appreciation of music sense, and the
listener gets the idea into his con

Whoever thought out that arrangement
is clever. Marked appreciation was
shown by the large audience.
