THE "OREGON. SUNDAY JOURNAL . PORTLAND, SUNDAY
MORNING, JANUARY. 15, 1911.
WBRK IS PROGRAM
FOR TOMORROW IN
SENATEANDHOUSE
With Appointment of Commit
, tees, Legislators Will Begin
Hard Drill; Desks Will Be
Piled High.
With the appointment of commit
tees In both brandies of the legislature
at Salem tomorrow ta real work of
the session of 1911 will begin. The 62
. bills introduced last week will be on
!!, the desks of the members, ready for
reference to committees, and the way
will be ready for the first consideration
v of actual legislation.
President Ben Selling has been at
. I work on the senate committees each
right since adjournment last Wednes
day and yesterday stated that the final
touches will be given -after conferring
with certain senators In Salem tomor
row, morning concerning their commit
tee preferences. He further declared
- that Be does not Intend to deal out
the choice places exclusivly to those
whoi supported him In the organisation
, contest, but Intends to deal fairly with
all, disregarding the memories of the
late Bowerman battle.
At the same time, it Is believed that
; the Important committees which will
deal with amendments to laws passed
by the people, which may affect what
la popularly known as the "Oregon
-aystem," will be safeguarded with an
ample guard to those who believe In
' the popular laws, such as the initiative
.and referendum, statement No. 1 and
.the direct primary law. Speaker, Rusk
Is relied upon to protect popular meaa
. tirea ln the same way In the makeup of
' the house committees.
While there are 60 members and only
43 committees In the house, the 30 mem-
bera of the senate are less than the
number of committees. Every senator,
' Democrats included, will be given a
chairmanship by President Belling.
The list of Speaker Rusk's commit
tees will be Inspected with particular
Interest by reason of the charge made
". by. A. H. Eaton that W. Lair Thompson
was to be permitted to dictate the lm
. portant committee assignments. If the
, house insurrection falls, as the speaker's
Mends are confident it will, there may
be some surprises in' the committees
announced by Speaker Busk. I
Bills vetoed by Governor Chamberlain i
and left over from the session of 1909
will have been printed, and will be ready
for the inspection of members tomorrow, j
- As there are many new members who
will wish to acquaint themselves with
: the nature of the vetoed bills before
voting, it ia likely they will be made
a special 'order .for a later day.
This will likely be the procedure un
less it shall be decided that the vetoes
. ...art out of order because not acted on
at the special session held in 1909.
Borne of the legislative lawyers are of
the opinion that these bills have lapsed
because not considered at the special
oession. Adoption of this view would
. bo an easy way out of a large bunch of
work.
The Kellaher resolution Indorsing the
' -i Oregon aystem of government, com
mending, it to other states and declar
ing it the best in the world may stir
up a ruction in the senate when It
emerges from the resolutions commit
tee. Bowerman Is expectedUo open his
heavy guns upon it Friends of the
resolution are expected to retort by
quoting frdm Bowerman'a speeches dur
ing the campaign, when he deplared that
' if elected he would tolerate no Inter
ference with luws enacted by the peo
ple. The biggest bills in the way of legis
lation have not yet been introduced, but
are likely to appear during the coming
week. In the list are the onea deal
ing with legislative and congreFsIonal
reapportionment, reform of the Judicial
system, the public service commission
plan and an anti-trust bill.

on an appeal to the- supreme court' in
the case of the state of Oregon versus
the C. & E. railway, ' The- case Is
an important ,one and has aroused
much interest in railway circles Inas
much as It Involves the question of
whether the state can recover a penalty
from a railway company for Its fail
ure to comply with an order of the state
railway commission. In this case the
state sued for 10,000 for the alleged
failure of the C. & A. IS. railway to
erect and maintain a suitable depot at
Lyons,, a town 35 miles east of Albany.
The proceedings were instituted in the
circuit court of Linn county on May IS.

Authorities Believe Boy Hit
Companion With Rock; 2
Killed by Train.
(United Preae Leaaed Wire.)
Springfield, Mo., Jan. 14. Sullenly de
fiant In his silence, -Charles Williams,
16, would -make no statements To the
authorllfes tonight that would shed any
ngnt on tne death of Stoney Stoffle and
Roy Plege of Falls City, Neb., who were
run down and killed by a Frisco freight
train near here yesterday morning. The
Williams Wd shortly after his arrest
today admitted that he had thrown a
rock that had struck young Stoffle In
the head, and which rendered him un
conscious for a short time.
The police, until the time they re
ceived Information that the Nebraska
boys had been attacked by young Wil
liams, naa supposed the accident to
havo been the culmination of a suicide
pact The story of Engineer Cassel of
the freight train that he saw one of the
boys raise up Just before the locomo
tive bore down upon them corroborated
the suicide theory.
But it also accords with the theory
that Stoffle, suffering from the effects
of the blow, fainted after having walked
along the railroad for a considerable
distance, the authorities declare. They
believe that Plege in attempting to
arouse his comrade or to rescue him
failed to notice the approaching train
until It was too late.
Williams will be held for further
questioning Monday.

steel couplings, and when I turned to
look behind for the other engine I saw
only the turbulent water of the river
where .the, other . locomotive with the
crew had disappeared," stated Engineer
Wyatt in dlscusaing the accident. A
diver has been employed by the Great
