This, permitted rnf . no equivocation,

Balem, Or., Feb. 10. A sharp skirmish
this monilng-ln the Senate marked the
beginning of .the end in the Jayoo bill
campaign. The t'ortiear opposing the bill
succeeded In keeping the bill before the
education committee. The plaa ot Its
champions was to get it before the Ju
diciary committee, thereby.. Insuring . a
favorable report, Malarkey accused the
members of- the education committee of
uufalrness - and - intent to smother the
bill. Attacking Malarkey oa tha soore
of prejudice and Inconsistency, Haines
pierced his armor at a vulnerable point,
and tho senator from Multnomah retired
from tho debate. : . ..
Immediately after roil call and the
aeadlng of-the Journal Malarkey-moved
that the Jayne bill be returned to .the
deak by the committee on education and.
referred to tho Judiciary .committee, wtth
Instructions to report not later than t

. . "This is not a courteous maV warmly
asserted Pierce. This Is. one of the
most dtfflcTurt qoesttons coming before

acted on by any committee in a few
hours. The committee' ira education
worked' until after midnight last .night,
and-was in session . agaln,earjy this
morning. Tha intention of the committee-
is to report th bllUhe first thing
this afternoort,- and I deem the motion
made by tho senator front Multnomah as
unjust in the extreme." -- . '
;. la: reply Malarkey declared" that" be
cause of the Cascade county Bght cer
tain : persona had managed to get the
Jayne liquor bill before tha education
committee in reprisal because Jayne waa
also tho author of tho Cascade - bllL
lie Mid that he was glad tha Cascade
bill waa killed, and . that he took part
tlTkilling it. because it had vltallr af
fected the interest of every bill' of
Importance-since Its Introduction "
"Tho education committee hah had the
Jayne" hill 'under consideration three
days," ho said, "and only two working
days are left In this session, as we must

Bo far as I-can learn the committae--

Others, was opposed to the Ttiill In Its
present form, but tt had "hot "been shown

Multnomah Is
mistaken in regards to any schema to

The president ssked Malarkey If the
substitute wss satisfactory. Malarkey
refused to accept the substitute, show
