I SMASH UP BUREAUS INSISTS JAPS ARE LEAVING. President Calls for Reorganiza tion of System. Secretary Straus Gives Statistics on Immigration and Emigration, Washington, Jan. 29. Socrotary Straus forwarded a letter to Senator Frank P. Flint, of California, discuss ing the statistics of tho department of commerce and labor covering tho im migration of Japaneso to tho United CHIEFS DON'T PULL TOGETHER States and the emigration of Japanese from tho United States. Mr. Straus says: "You will obscrvo that the cntiro number (Japanese) admitted was 12, 413 for tho calendar year 1907, whilo tho entire number admitted was but 4477 for tho calendar year 1908. You will also bear in mind' that tho execu tive order of tho president was issued on March 14, 1907, but it took a con siderable time to preparo regulations and put them into effect and for the department of state, both hero and through our ambassador to Japan, to arrive at a definite understanding with the Japanese government. "I desire furthermore to direct your attention td tho fact that tho entiro PROCEEDINGS OF OREGON LEGISLATURE Newberry's Plan Summarily Pushed Aside President Would Run Navy Yards as Factories. Washington, Jan. 28. President Roosevelt believes the organization of tho Navy department is not such as to bring the best results, and he appoint ed a committee today to "consider cer tain needs of the navy." His action was somewhat of a surprise, in view of the fact that the members of tho com mission appointed today met at Wash ington two weeks ago and indorsed Secretary Newberry's plan of reorga nization, and in view also of tho autho rization by tho senate of an inquiry in to naval expenditures and the need, if any, of legislation to improve the ad ministration of tho Navy department. Announcement of the president's ac tion was entirely unexpected at the Navy department. Mr. Newberry ap peared to be the most surprised of all. The president has sent identical let ters to each of the eight members of the commission, which is . headed by Paul Morton, ex-secretary of the navy, the other members being Justice Moody, also an ex-secretary of the navy; Judge A. G. Dayton, ex-chairman of the house naval affairs com mittee, and Rear-Admirals S. 8. Luce, A. T. Mahan, William H. Folger, Rob ley D. Evans and W. S. Cowles, all of whom are on the retired list. The let ter follows : "My Dear Sir I have appointed you as a member of a commission to con sider certain needs of the navy. The organization of the department is now not such as to bring the best results and there is failure to co-ordinate the work of bureaus and to make the de partment serve the one end for which it was created, that is, the develop ment and handling of first-class fight ing fleets. With this proposition I will ask you to consider: "First All defects in the law under which the Navy department is now or ganized, including especially the de fects by which the authority of chiefs of the bureaus is made in certain re spects practically equal to that of the secretary or the president. "Second The division of responsi bility and consequent lack of co-ordination in the preparation of war and for conduct of war. "Third The functions f certain bureaus, as to whether it is not possi ble to consolidate them. "Fourth The necessity of providing the secretary of the navy with mili tary advisers who are responsible to him for co-ordinating the work of the bureaus and for preparation for war. "Fifth The necessity for econom ical allotment and disbursement of ap propriations and for a system which will insure strict accountability. "Sixth Finally, I want your views aS to how best to recognize and empha size the strictly military character of the navy, so that preparation for war shall be controlled under the secretary by the military branch of the navy,. which bears the responsibility for the successful conduct of war preparations. "I wish to have the above subjects considered under two general heads: "1. As to the fundamental princi ples of an organization that will insure an efficient preparation for war in time of peace. "2. Specific recommendations as to the changes in the present organiza tion that will accomplish these results. "In addition to the above reports, I desire your recommendation as to the number., location and general facilities of the navy-yards which are required by strategic considerations in time of war, and for maintaining the fleet in constant readiness for war in timp of peace." Friday, January 2D. Salem, Jan. 29. This promises to bo the most extravagant legislature Oregon over had at Salem, not only on nccount of appropriations, but also on account of now offices to bo created and higher salaries enacted. There nro bills for creation of no less than 200 new jobs, most of them at fat pay political berths, for few of which tho stato and its subdivision Bhuvo any need, War between Governor Chamberlain and salary logrollcrs in tho icgislaturo was declared today from tho governor's office in a special warning message. Tho houso replied by passing Multno mah's bill ofr an extra circuit judgo and overriding his last session votoes on four agricultural fair scnato bills appropriating money for Eastern Ore gon districts.

It was planned by tho tax committees to put tho bill throuch both houses touny under suspension of tho rules, but in tho houso tho two-thirds majority couiu not bo mustered, rassago is expected tomorrow vlthout further dolay. Tho bill carries an emergency claUso and will go into effect at once. Salem, Jan. 27. Tho Marion county JEROME WILL INVESTIGATE. Says Panama O.tnal Scandal ,ls Oai for State. Now York, Jan, 27.

"It .3 further to bo observed that, beginning with the month of June, 1908, to October, 1908, the emigration of Japanese from tho United States exceeded tho immigration to tho Unit ed States by 1542, showing distinctly that the trend of the migration of Jap anese is from tho United States. It is further shown by the marked decrease of immigration during the months re ferred to of 1908 as compared with tho same months of 1907. , "The press reports which I have seen contain statements made by some of your people in California that these figures are inexact. I desire emphat ically to state that they are absolutely correct, and the proof thereof, which is on file in tho department, clearly demonstrates the accuracy of the fig ures. "It has further been intimated, as I see from reports, that there is a large surreptitious influx of Japanese over the Mexican and Canadian borders. I am justified in saying that this is not true, for obvious reasons. That there are some few scattered surreptitious entries is quite probable, but the sum is so small that it cannot be consequen tial. "Finally I wish to call your atten tion 'to the fact, which the1 statements above are forced to indicate, that the arrangements which have been called tho 'gentlemen's agreement' we have with Japan, in my judgment, are work ing more effectively than would result from any restrictive laws, because of the effective embargo Japan has placed on the departure of her subjects from Japan." camo up as a special order, four of the bills provide for district agricul tural societies in Eastern Oregon and carry appropriations 'of from $1600 to $2500 per annum each. The fifth mcas ure permits tho garnishment of the sal arics, and wages of stato and county officials. The most sweeping anti-trust bill that has been introduced in the legis laturo appeared in tho senate today. It was introduced by Senator Bingham and is senate bill 161. It not only pro hibits every form and shado of trust and combination agreement, but re quires corporations to make an annual statement under oath that they have not made any agreements in restraint of trado or for tho maintenance of prices or rates. It prescribes as pen alties not only fines and imprison ments, but forfeiture of corporate ex istence and liability to repay all mon eys received in violation of the anti trust law. county of Now York, it is my duty.un dor certain circumstances to prosocuto those responsible for tho publication.

Salem, Jan. 26. Speaker McArthur today introduced in tho houso a bill MEAT AT FAMINE PRICES. Short Hay Crops and Floods Make California Suffer. Stockton, Cal., Jan. 28. The scar city of beef, hogs and sheep has caused meat prices here to increase fast of late, and the retailers have raised their prices until the head of the house is compelled to pay fancy figures for all kinds of meat. Of late years, at certain seasons, the greater portion of California depends on Nevada and Arizona, and even Ore gon, to supply the bulk of meat, tow ing to the failure of the hay crop in Nevada and Arizona last season,1-the stock in these two states are not in condition for slaughter. The prevail ing wet weather, with washouts and few carloads of stock, has created al most a mea't famine and prices are soaring. Earl's Son Is a Prisoner. Mexico, Mo., Jan. 28. Lyle Leland, a prisoner charged with forgery, says ho is the blacksheep son of the Earl of Aberdeen and a former employe of the ban irancisco Examiner and the San Francisco Bulletin, and at the time of the Spanish-American war was corres pondent in Cuba for the New York Journal. Leland has won the grati tude of Sheriff Woolery by "tipping olr" a plan of two murderers this morning to murder the sheriff and his deputy and Mrs, Woolery and escape. Revolutionists Give Up. St. Petersburg, Jan. 28. Reports have been received here of the doings of tho congress of the social democratic party recently held abroad to avoid in terference from the police. The most important decision was to abandon for tho present the propaganda among the troops. There seems to be no hope of reviving the revolutionary movement for several yeasr, and tho party will now devote its atteptions entirely to Russian workmen. Japan Not Worried. Tokio, Jan. 29. In an editorial which the Hochi will print tomorrow the Japanese people are warned against connecting tho movement for naval ex pansion and increased fortifications in America with the anti-Japanese agita tion in California. It will say that the American government is only showing a wise care for its dependencies, Ha waii and the Philippines, and that only harmful sensationalists could connect such proper naval expansion with any feeling against Japan. Chile and Peru Quarrel. Valparaiso, Chile, Jan. 29. Tho rupture of diplomatic relations be tween Chile and Peru, signalized by the withdrawal of Senor J. M. Echin que, the Chilean minister at Lima, has aroused more or less excitement here, and the old animosities between the two countries, dating back to the war Thursday, January 28. Salem, Jan. 28. Senator Bailey's motion for an amendment to the con stitution permitting the legislature to amend a city charter with the consent of a majority of tho voters of a city is looked upon by tho anti-saloon people as an effort to circumvent tho local option law. Should the amendment be adopted any city that has become "dry be cause it is in a "dry" county, could by vote of its people bo made "wet" by an act of the legislature. This would practically set aside the local option, so far as cities are concerned. The emergency tax law passed both houses today and provides that within fivo days the state board shall equalize the county assessments and levy a state tax at a uniform rate. The bill carries an appropriation of $5000 to meet the contingent expenses of tho board, which may find it neces sary in the process of its task to sum mon several of the county assessors to their assistance. Certain Portland banks have renew ed their old fight to restrict to them selves the use of the word "Trust," in the titles of firms and corporations. A bill introduced by Senator Bailey, and now gone to the house, forbids any of the numerous abstract and mortgage and agency companies the use of "Trust" in their business. Instead they must use '.'Trustee." A big fight is waging over an at tachment bill which bankers are boost ing in order to Bavo themselves from attachment in case of money stringen cy. The opposite contention is that the bill would bo seriously impair at tachments personal property as prac tically to make it Impossible. The senate judiciary cotimittee re ceived a severe scoring from Senator Abraham, of Douglas county, this morning when the committee reported adversely on Abraham's bill making it manslaughter to Kill a human being by . -. . misiuKe ior a aeer. After a prolonged argument yester day the senate passed Hart's bill in creasing the number of supreme judges' from ttJee to five, the act to go into effect upon approval by the governor, and the two additional judges to be ap pointed at once. mission to attend two consecutive meetings of such board or commission, except on account of tho serious illness of himself or his family, shall have forfeited his office. It is provided in the bill that in event of such delin quency tho governor shall appoint other members. Representative Couch's bill, extend ing from six months to six years the time in which suits may bo filed against the earnings of judgment debt ors, was favorably reported in the house. The house today adopted a resolution providing that in the futuro when members of that body introduce a bill "by request," they shall bo required to inform the house members nt whose request tho measure is presented This will enablo tho legislators to have a knowledge of tho real interests be hind such bills, many of which arc in troduced at every session. Money sharks will bo hard hit should a bill of ucprcsentatlvc Farrcll, intro duced today, become a law. The bill invalidates assignments of wages for less than $200, without tho written consent of tho employer and tho assignor. Salem, Jan. 26. Tho scnato judic iary committee this morning reported favorably a substitute for S. B. 29. Parrish, regulating establishments where games of chance are conducted. This substitute provides that "If any persons being tho owner, lessee, pro prietor or employe of any cigar store. card room, saloon, barroom, public bil liard room, public poolroom, soft drink establishment, or other public placo of amusement, shall suffer or permit any minor to engage in any game of cards, billiards, pool, bagatelle, dice throw ing, or other game of chanco in such place, either for amusement or other wise, such person shall bo deemed guil ty of a misdemeanor and upon convic tion thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than ?25 nor more than $100." If any minor shall represent and pre tend to tho proprietor or employe of such establishment that he is over the ago of 21 years ho is punishable by a line oi $iu to $iuu, 'divided among government favorites in tho world of politics and finance.' Mr. Jcromo expresses his conviction that bo serious a chargo should not pass unchallenged and that adequoto jUBtifi cation should bo bIiowii or thoso mak ing it bo properly punished. .1 i. JAPAN HAS A SCANDAL. to Young Count Married Secretly Hungarian Woman. London, Jan. 27. Tho Toklo corro spondent of tho bUindard relates a scandal, indirectly involving tho irnpc rial house of Japan, which is causing a great stir in tho Japanese capital. Count Todo, 21 years olij, was Bent to England two years ago to complete his education, and whilo there married a woman of Hungarian birth, Mrs. Elena Addison, 29 years old, widow of an Englishman. The count's family, upon learning this, peremptorily order ed him to return to Japan. He did bo, leaving his wifo in England. When he arrived homo ho found his family, which shares tho traditional aristocratic rcpugnanco to mixed mar riages, had in his absenco started ne gotiations for his marriatro to Princess Take, member of a collateral branch of the impcrlul family. Tho count' di vorce from his English wifo waa im mediately resolved upon. This was comparatively easy in Jn pan. The count secured a divorco without consulting his wife. As soon as free ho formally applied for tho Princess Take's hand and tho emperor sanctioned tho alliance. Conirratula- tions were injuring In upon the Todos, when an editor of a Toklo nowspapor, hearing the facta, printed thorn. General consternation followed. Tho nobles of tho disciplinary council In vestigated and found the editor's state ment truo. rovokfd his consent to tho betrothal of tho count and princess, tho count'a patent of nobility was withdrawn, and tno star of His family literally put in eclipse.
