(Sptclal DU&ttch to Tbt Journal.) Salem, Jan. 12.- "Tha easiest way to Kraft" was .the designation' applied to a series of resolutions Introduced In the foe legislative investigations of state 1 offices and Institutions by 1 Senator , Thomas Kay of Marion county. He was a. little more harsh than were - other senators In a hot fight that was -' waged to prevent the Immediate pas iseage of these resolutions. "-. Before the adoption! of rules and the , naming of a temporary committee on '(.resolutions a measure providing for in vestigation of the state treasurer's of- fice slipped through. But when other resolutions ot iiKe import came in a swelling flood the senate retraced itaJ tens, reconsidered the, vote on the " treasury Investigation, and sent 'the ' question ,to committee, along with the ethers. ' Kay called attention to the fart that - the last legislature dispensed with leg islative Investigations of this kind, which he denounced a a waste of the taxpayers' money. He said that he :;proper -way to investigate would be to adopt a law for a board of control or " one creating the office of state audi tor. Senators Beach ot Multnomah and Hrt if Rake led .the fiaht for imme- tfta nasnaira nf the resolutions, but they were beaten on a test vote by 16 to ii. . ' Selllnr Against, Senator Ben Belling cast the only 'negative vote when, the" proposal to In vestigate the state treasurer was first sprung. He caught the drift of affairs from, the first, and declared1 that it was his intention to vote against every such measure that makes its appear .' ance. ?'If we appoint these committees' he said, "they will employ a lot of clerks t-who Will simply check over the ac counts. It will be giving occupation to . a lot of useless clerks. If I were going ; to have my own books exported, I would employ the beBt experts there are in the state, and there are only a few of them. But if clerk are appointed in the usual way It will be only a waste of money, and to expert the books of these offices for a series of year in 40 days . wuo sucn neiji is a j)"J"tt imir All of the Investigation resolutions .were in the same form, providing for v Investigation by three member of the senate and two of the house. Differ ent senators had been chosen to present f them. Bingham of Lane came first . .' with the state treasurer proposal, whloh ? went through with 28 votes, Selling voting "Ho." e Other absolutions. ' Senator Chase of Coos and Curry of fered the resolution to Investigate the i statu nrinter. and It went to the resolu- , tions committee at his request. Senator Mart' provoaea me storm- uy renom tion to expert the books of the reform school. Before the clash was over ' nearlv half the senators had spoken and . the feeling of hostility was such that 'Hart averted a test vote by consenting iha) resolution CO to committee. ' Then Senator Mulit of Jackson, who '': had voted for Bingham's state treasurer i J resolution, moved to reconsiuer vne vote, '''a. HhM tit i MultnnmHh seconded. . Bipgham protested that he did not like . to "back up" so early In the session, ft' but reconsideration was carried by the : following vote: .. .

Without further objection the resolu tlon went Into committee and the same disposition was made of later resolu- i as follows; ' By Bailey, to Investigate the secre tary of state's office; by Beach, the rienitentiary; by Coffey, the Insane asy nm; by Bailey, the Alaska-Yukon-Pa- clfic exposition commission. Hurt, the chief spokesman for the - resolutions, took the position that be cause past investigations have often been unproductive of results is no rea " son for thinking that an Inquiry now may not be advisable. He said he did . not mean to imply that any of the offl- cers are short in their accounts, but he could not understand how the books were to be experted unless the legisla : f tur performs the work.

In addition to these are several In troduced providing for the expertlng of different state institutions. A bitter fight is being- waged on these measures in the senate and it is doubtful what action the bouse will take, it being held by some members that such expertlng and auditing committees furnish oppor tunity for grafting the state with un necessary clerk and other expenses. ine resolutions introduced togetner With their disposition, are as follows: The Besolutlons.

(United Frees Leased Wire.) Salem, Or, Jan. 12. The Oregon sen atorial situation is not believed to have been seriously affected by the organ isation of the two houses. The State- ment No. 1 men had enough votes to organlxe each bouaa but could not agree on a leader and so both houses organ- izea wim me anti-statement, no, l members. But the anti-Statement No. senators and rtinreaentatlvea had to pteage tnemseives not to use the or ganization to influence the senatorial situation. In order to get any of the Statement members to vote, with them. - National Committeeman Williams, an Oregon banker, is present, leading the fisht to defeat the nouular choice for senator. The Illness of Berdllllon. who Is In a San Francisco hospital, is a loss - to Governor Chamberlain. There is a well supported rumor that inducements are being generously of fered any legislator who will listen to them, to go back on his pledge to vote for the people's choice. It Is claimed by friends of Senator Fulton that all they will labor to ac complish Is to prevent an election next Tuesday, and by that means open the way for the election of a Republican end get more time for securing sup plies of money and the Influence of petitions to shake Statement men from the pledges given the people. The Statement leaders all express per fect confidence in the outcome of the Oregon system in seating a man nom inated and elected by the direct vote of the people, and are firm in the posi tion that there Is no power on earth that can release one of them from his pledgee. TE3IP0RARY KULES C03DIITTEFELECTEP (Rptr'nl Dispatch to The Journal.) Salem Or., Jan. 12. Scarcely had the newly elected state senators beerr sworn In yesterday afternoon by Chief Jus tice Moore before the iriamheri) rrnn. pled ill a struggle over the appointment yi n temporary committee on rules. Senator Kay of Marlon presented the resolution for aonnintiner aiieh a com mittee, explaining that this was follow ing tne usual custom. Senator Selling eaid he would object If It were intended to refer every reso lution to a committee of five men. Beach said he would vote ao-alnst the proposal, because certain resolutions uukhi iu us pusseq witnout fleiav. Kay's rewolutlon finally went through by a vote of 13 to 11. corresponding to a joint resolution In mo iiuu.ii, nenniur . oie introduced ai resolution nmvlrilnr tAr- h oivrW of Lincoln I, trt ,nniu.'..'... February 12. The measure provides for a committee of six senators fmd 12 rep resentatives to arrange a program and directs that Governor Chamberlain be invited to preside. A resolution by Senator M. A. Miller providing for the opening of sessions with prayer by Halem paMtors was re ferred. Also on the motion of Miller the rules of the lam session were tem porarily adopted, after an amendment by Beach had been carried. This amend ment excludes from the floor of the senate all persons except members, ex tnombers, state officers and employes of the senate. The courtesy of the floor was extended to the press by a separ ate resolution. Beach's amendment to the rules, which prevents .any ordinary citizen from going on the floor to shake hands with lil senator, was not adopted with out a fight. Several members feared they were making themselves too ex clusive. Beach retorted that he was as common as any other senator, but he 'wanted more room, and lens bother." Vthen It was pointed out that this rule would even shut out the mavor of Port land should he come to Salem to confer with the legislators of the metropolis, Beach sRld that the proper place to argue mutters is before a committee, and not on the floor. He also com plained that the lobby and special In terests annoyed him. On a rising vote Bench won Ills point, with 1 votes. F. J. Miller Introduced a Joint resolu tion for a meeting in joint convention today to receive a communication from the governor. Adopted. From the same senator came a reso lution providing that each member of the senate may employ one clerk or stenographer in lieu of the statutory al lowance of seven clerks. Referred.

Richardson selected her principally be cause of her name, -she admits how, and wim tne nope that sne might oe rrencn enough to cook a good meal. She left Sunday evening, after announcing that she was going to another place. Last night the girl, carrying a suit case, called at the Richardson residence at 385 Six teenth street and asked to be allowed to go to her room on the third floor and secure her clothing that had been left there the night before, Mr. JKicnarason sent some one im with the girl to see that she took noth ing from the chambers on the second floor, but thought there would be no danger to the clothing stored on the third. After waiting a reasonable length of time for the girl to descend, they started up to hunt tor her. She wasn't there neither was a leather suitcase belonging, to Mr. Richardson. A trunk that was stored In the room had been opened, its contents gone over and all that had struck the fancy of Miss Mont gomery was gone. The rest was on the floor. Neighbors who. were consulted said thev had seen the new maid walkln'g down Sixteenth street attired fit a new suit belonging to Mrs. Kicnswsnn anil carrying a suit case in each hand.
