' - ' :; 'r galera, Or, Jan. A bill providing - for a flat salary for the state printer, ' ravivlng ths regular biennial struggle over this question, will be Introduced in the senate this afternoon by Miller of - linn, who contends that the state can . ' save a large amount of money by in J stalling a printing pianc and doing its own work. - - The proposed law placos the supervis ion of printing in tha hands of a state board, consisting of the governor, see retary of state and state treasurer, who are represented by a printing expert. The salary of the printer is fixed In - tentative way at 4800f the Idea of the framers of the bill being that the com pensation shall be named after close in spection of the situation. .. ... , '; printer Oets Wealthy. . ' " : 7 Senator Miller has aa array of figures te present in. support of this bill. : He - asserts that the state printer under the present . system makes not less than 175,000 profit in a four year term, and says that- with increasing business the profit will be $100,000 jdurlng the next four years. ' '"v ' The bill makes an appropriation of ifti ooa with which to buy a 120,000 - printing plant and meet all expenses of the printing department for the next . two years. This sum Miller thinks is amnio for all purposes under the flat salary rule and he compares it with the expenses shown by . me ouagei mr 1009-10. amounting to $110,000.

J Killer argues that It is Impossible to fix printing rates on an equitable hajHa to fit the varying conditions. iiuch time, he says, will be saved in measuring and computing the rates.

While litt'e InformaUoa is obtainable here : at the navy department . as to; the details of the ugly scandal . which Is said to be at the bottom of Bear Admiral Barry's retirement from the command of tha Pacific squadron, the impression is gene rat ttiat a courtmartlal of that officer is probable. - ,t' - Admiral Barry's reauest for retire ment telegraphed In the effort to get it nero oeiore tne arrival of charges mailed by the officers of his flagship, the cruiser West Virginia, is not ex pected to. prove sufficient to hush up the affair, though noh Mnn. i n... by many persons prominent in naval cir cles as tne best thing for the service which, it Is declared, could only be sort ously hurt by any inquiry into the af fair1. us..; .,.v . -. . ( - , One report of the lnoident current here among the friends of the accused ad. Lmlral, Is that a boy who had bean hurt m twiDB.it rama, was detailed on guard duty at his door. Barry is de clared to have sympathised with tha ii and te have passed his hand over the ooys race and hands several times and to have touched him on the back while some one was watching. Partisans of Barry declare- this is tha sole basis for we cnarges. This View of tha occtirrnA ! AUnlori in letters from officers of the West Virginia, who are said to have brought the charges. ' Four of these officers, their friends here say, observed the ac cused admiral's actions in such a way as to leave no doubt on the matter ' -rh are said to have demanded the admiral's" resignation ana to have made a report of the affair which they asked the ac cused commander to farward to Wash ington. Instead of doing so, it Is said, rr7 destroyed the document, and by tciegrapn applied ror retirement learning that their eonmlaint hiui not been forwarded, the four officers wno were witnesses of the Barry affair are said to have mailed to the navy de partment a. duplicate of the document delivered to the admiral. Whether it has yet arrived. andJf it has, what ac tion the department will take upon it it is as yet impossible to ascertain. The impression Is strong, however, that a courtmartlal will be ordered as,the only way to avoid civil action by the San runcisco autnonties, and with the idea that details of the charges may thus be more easily smothered than in any uuier way. TO COME BEFORE GRAND JURY-BODY (Continued from Page Ona.) 4-- within 00 days after the passage of the act to locate and purchase a site for said Institution. , - - , "December 27,; 1010, said (old) board chose as a site for said institution a tract 'Of about 834 acres near the city of. Pendleton, Or.,' and t now becomes the "doty of the (new) board to cause suitable buildings to be erected there on at an early date. "The undersigned, havinf ' visited the proposed site with a vjew of locating the building sites and preparing of es timates for submission to the legisla ture, after careful examination of the premises, are of the opinion that the tract does not afford a suitable build lng site for such an Institution.. "Realizing that this is a matter of utmost importance and that any false step on our part would be most disas trous, not only to the taxpayers of this state, but to those poor unfortunates who will have to spend their -, lives in this Institution, and knowing, of the exper lence you have had In hospital manage ment 'and ,tne confidence, the .people of this state', have inNyour integrity and Judgment we ack that you, together with other gentlemen, whose names are given below, act a a committee for the pur pose of examining this site and advis ing the board whether or not they should attempt to establish said in stitution upon the premises, and If not to assist the board In selecting a tract which. In your opinion, would be suit able for such proposed institution. "Hoping that you will see fit to per form this mission and assuring you that your services will be appreciated not only by this board, but by the peo people of the state of .Oregon, we nave the honor to remain, yours respectfully, "OSWALD WEST, Governor, T. B. KAY. State Treasurer." "It Is" not the Intention of the board," said State Treasurer Kay in speaking of the Pendleton asylum site, "to reopen the matter of a selection of a site or to make a relocation. Much of the 320 acres purchased by the state will be of use, but it was our opinion, after looking the ground over, that there was .not a suitable place on the $20 acres for locat ing the buildings, and for that reason another location, we think, should be selected. ,v;"; " Xiand Zs Tamable. "We, in fact looked at two other locations a mile or so further down the river the Umatilla river from the property purchased by Mr. Boworman, but we wanted to have the Sanction of exnerts and the legislature before buv ing more land. A portion of purchase made is valuable.. There are about 140 acres of bottom land that can be Irrigated and cultivated. The .remainder la hill land and not verv valuable. "The old board.

As a result of an examination of the law respecting the matter, the new state printing expert, R. A.. Harris, has found that the state departments can save much money to the taxpayers by consulting witn mm as the law provides before ordering printing. TO that end the secretary of state has directed a letter to all of the departments calling their attention to this provision of the law. The state printing expert has authoi ity under the law to "direct and' pre sorts the matter of composition of technical or exception matter." This, former printing experts have never attempted to do, but Expert Har ris believes much saving can be brought about by a closer application of the law. In the letter the secretary of state's office backs up the stand assumed by the printing expert and advises the de partments to consult with the printing - expert for the return of this enormous sum of money paid out for public print, i ing.

Cameron announced 'it would be necessary to obtain certified copies of Bailey's ac count" front the. secretary of state and state treasurer before the investigation could be concluded.: In District Attor ney Cameron's hands was placed evl dence that Ballay also headed many subscription lists presented at dir oonventions or meetings of creamery men or butter and cheese makers. ' ill give the most of anyone." he was reported to have said at these meetings, without adding that J. W, Bailey as a citlsen intended no such gift but that he meant the state to boar the expense. In this connection Judge Cameron was told that Bailey gave a total of $25 in Prizes for fine cheese at the -annual convention . of the butter and cheeaemakera of the state and ' then took the amount from the pure food fund. In' the same way Bailey was said to have contributed $12 a month to the Support of an ad- ditional deputy for his office, the state dairy association paying the remainder. wanoy got up and said he would give that amount, then took the money from the pure food fund .or put it in his own expense account making the state bear the burden," said ex-Chemist Williamson. "When we . asked him about It Bailey aald, Tou don't think I'm going to 'give away my salary, do yout 'You fellows never give anything out of your salary for anything like this.' Marip and , Shrock told him at the time that they were contributing out of their salaries for the support of ths additional deputy, and that they wouldn't think of putting such an ex pense on the pure food fund." A prize given by Bailey at the Canby fair, along with a number of other disburse ments made by him personally but charged to the state was reported to the district attorney. Looking up the law creating and gov erning the pure food fund this morn lng, the district attorney found It was permitted the dairy and food' commis sioner to draw upon this fund only for money necessary to Aid in the enforce ment of pure food laws. .K CAR REPAIRERS HAVE .

TWO WEST VIRGINIA ' OFFICERS PREPARED TO SUPPORT THE CHARGES (United Prwa LMaed Wlwf) Vallejo, Cal., Jan. 18. Coneternatlon Is a mild word to express the situation here In the minds of Mare island naval officers as a result of the charaes re ported against Rear Admiral Barry, commander of the Pacific squadron, who will be superceded today by Rear "Admiral Chauncey Thomas. While there is very general disinclination toJ discuss the affair at length, it is ad mitted that two officers of the cruiser West Virginia are prepared to stand by the charge that Admiral Barry perpe trated an offense of the gravest char- rter, and the belief here Is general that court martial can hardly be avoided. Many officers, however, are hopeful that full investigation will show the accused admiral in the light of the vic tim of a serious mistake. - Six men of the West Virginia who are alleged to have knowledge 6f the charges against Admiral Barry are in A Poor Weak Woman Ktiftl.i . ... -.
