Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin, whose title to his seat is now under fire. A copy of the report and testimony in the case, composing two bulky vol umes, has been received by Arthur I. Moulton, who was recently in Washing ton and heard the report read in the senate chamber. An interesting: feature Is the way the majority of the senate committee on elections, composed of standpat Republicans and conservative Democrats, turned thumbs down on the - direct primary system, declining to rec ognise it as of any consequence in the election of a senator. - -. According; to their view, while corrup tion and extravagant expenditure might disgrace ths primary, it could not af fect the seat of a senator, who gained his nomination by such means, as the senatorial primary directed by the law of -a- state- is held to- br -void, -and the senate, when inquiring into the title of its members, need only be concerned with what took place in the legislature. Ms Minority Xeport. Several progressive members of the senate committee did not agree with these conclusions, and filed a minority report Senators Clapp of Minnesota, Kenyon of Iowa and James oj Washing ton, Republicans, and Kern of Indiana and Lea of Tennessee, Democrats, de cided Stephenson was not entitled to his . eat : i -v: ... , , . The majority report of the reactionary senators makes interesting reading in Oregon. It was signed by Dillingham of Vermont, Gamble of South Dakota, Hey. burn of Idaho. Sutherland - of Utah, Bradley of Kentucky and Oliver of Penn sylvania, Republicans, and Johnston of Alabama, Fletcher of Florida and Pom erene of Ohio, Democrats. : , , Heyburo : of Idaho filed his reasons, and the extreme reactionary view is shown by the following: , . "It was doubtless competent for the legislature to provide for direct prl maries for the nomination of candidates for the legislature and Id place legal re strictions about them to secure the in tegrity of their elections, but it is not competent for the legislature to provide for the nomination of candidates for the United States senate at direct primaries. ' "The direct primary, legally speaking, is no part of an election of a United States senator. The duty of an election of a senator does not under law rest with the electorate, but is vested by the constitution solely with the legislature. "A state may give force and effect to a direct primary law providing Jor the . nomination of candidates for state or minor offices to be elected under the laws of the state, but the legislature has no power to regulate in any manned r iv any extent me election or a united States senator, and there Is no such pro ceeding known , under any law of the United States as the nomination of candidate for the United States senate. Only Straw Total . "The question arises, can any act in contravention of a law that la abso lutely void work a forfeiture of any right to an office vested through the compliance with the constitution and laws of the United States? Did the pro ceedings preceding and at the direct pri mary relative to a choice for United ., States senator amount to more than a straw vote? V. -.v ..'. "The mere fact; that the legislature -of Wisconsin had undertaken to include a senatorial selection within the pro visions of its direct primary law, in the absence of power to so legislate, could not affect the validity of an election by the legislature made pursuant to natlon al law. This must be obvious from the fact that the legislature was not in duty bound to elect anyone or consider any- . one a candidate for election because of the election of the action of the direct primary. It might have ignored such action altogether, and its having; done so would not in any way affect the va lidity of Its action.

We must conclude that the direct primary proceedings cannot be held to affect the validity of an election by the leglsla ture. w. ,. " Eleotloa Vol Affected. "The fifteenth speclflo charge is based upon the , failure or neglect of Isaac Stephenson to make and file an ex pense account under the laws of Wis consin. This' requirement is under sec tion 270 of the election laws, .which pro vides that every person who shall be a candidate before any convention or at any primary or election to fill an of fice, for which a nomination paper or. certificate of. nomination may be filed, shall, within 80 .days after the eleotion held to fill auch office, make out and file with the officer empowered by law to issue the certificate of election to such office or place, a statement in writ ing, etc., and that any person falling to comply with this section shall be punished by a fine of not less than (25 or more than 1500. .

The report" shows that Senator Steph enson's expense account was tl07.793.tfS or $1.89 for every vote cast for him at line primaries, s. A. Cook, another can aiaate at the primaries, spent 142,293.- z. or 88 cents per vote. .William H. Hatton "oiled up" to the extent of 126. 413 or, 85 cents for each - vote he re ceived. jfTancis ja.

Neal Brown, a Democratic candidate, spent $1,075.87. averairin 42 cents for each vote, and the Socialist canaiaate averaged about $1 per vote. Senator Heyburn offers the follow ing comment on the expenditures: Criticism Justified. v' : , "The amount of money expended by Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Cook, Mr. Hatton and Mr, McGovern In the primary cam paign was so extravagant and the ex penditures made by and on behalf of these gentlemen were made- with such reckless disregard of propriety as to Justify the sharpest criticism. - Such expenditures were in violation of the fundamental principles underlying our system of government, which contem plated the selection of candidates by the electors and not the selection of the electors by the candidate, r ;, "Were a candidate for a stats office In Wisconsin to conduct a camnalirn in the manner in which the campaign of Mr. Stephenson and of other men who ougni election to the United States senate were conducted, it would h nr. difficult to Ju8tlfyBueh conduct under me laws or tne state.

The. Engineering stu dents of the Oregon Agricultural col lege are now busily engaged getting an exceptionally large number of novel ex hibits ready for the annual St Patrick show, which is to be held next Friday and Saturday evenings. The mechan ical hall, foundry, power plant, , Dlack smtth shops and the pattern and wood working shops will all be utilized for the various exhibits arranged by the students. ... . : ; Toon dry to San Say and aright Heretofore the show has been devoted largely to the electrical department, but this year every division of the school of engineering will be well represented. The new foundry; which has Just been equipped with the latest machinery throughout will be in operation both day and night Castings will be made of brass, aluminum and iron from pat terns previously prepared. ; The mining department will occupy thrift rooms, where the students will show how assaying Is ddhe and will also make several- interesting - experi ments In electrical chemistry. One of these rooms will be devoted to the re- fiectoscope ana to lectures on tne geo logical formation and resources of Ore ton. . Hew Electrical Machines. The electrical department will occupy an equal amount of space. The experi mental laboratory will be open and there will be many of the newest ma chines on exhibition, among them the Olsen torsion machine and the Riehle 160,000 pound testing machine, whioh have just been Installed. The forestry department and the ar chitectural club are planning several novel features. The latter has Just re ceived drawings and models from the east Another popular attraction will be a Curtlss biplane. This machine was exhibited last year, but has since been purohased by A. M. Jepperson, a post. graduate student of Sarcoma, who bas remodeled It . . . , . ' Hlffhway BuUflinf Tsuflit, A good roads exhibit, under the di rection of Professor E. F.

At Xeast Excessive. "That an expenditure of $107,798.05 Is an excessive amount to be spent In the candidacy for the office of United States senator, which pay a. salary for six years' service of 145,000, goes with out question." ' , .. Discussing a Wisconsin law la rela tion to the payment of nearly 13000 to the state game warden by Stephenson's managers, the two senators say: "This statute makes IV an offense for any officer, agent, clerk or employo un der the government of the state to so licit of receive any assessment, sub scription, contribution or -political serv ice from any officer, agent, clerk or employe of the state. It is clear that this statute was not violated by Sena tor Stephenson, since he was not an of ficer, agent, clerk or employe of the state. Moreover, the statute makes H an offense on the part of the recipient of the fund only, JNo offense Is commft ted by the donor. t, Subject to Tins. ' "Mr. Stephenson, because of his fail ure to file a proper account has vio lated the statute and is subject to a fine. However, he - must be absolved from any moral , delinquency, becauoe in the preparation and filing of his ac count he consulted with counsel and followed their advice, and if It was not properly done they were to blame rather than he. "Mr. Puellcher, a banker, acted as treasurer (of the Stephenson fund). He did not open an account as depositors usually do. He received remittances, kept private memoranda, paid out cash and made disbursements of these funds. but kept ' no "record thereof upon the J bank's books. No other customer's funds, either before or since, were re ceived or disbursed In a similar way, j There was an air of mystery about thai entire arrair." .......

One of my former pris oners liked his treatment so well that he now pays $1 a day fur the privilege of lodging- and boarding In the jail." This is the statement made by Sher iff A. A. Kuhn of Dupage county, In his own defense before Federal Judge Lan dls, when, he was haled before the court to day to explain the unusual privileges he is alleged to have extended to Cole man "Duth" Heltler, sentenced to thirty days in Jail by Judge Landls. Heltler was sentenced In connection with a white slave case. : . ., i ' HAMMERSTEIN CHARGES HIS BRIDE DRUGGED HIM Omaha, Neb., March 11.
