It Is Now Drawn as Cor . porations 'Want. 8 (Staff t'orrmDoiidoiuw.t ; . . Salem, Or., Feb. B.Hesistlng very effort to amend ths- Lawrence work men's compensation act further than tlie amendments drafted by the house Judl- ry committee. Representative Latour- ttte, chairman of the committee, sue cessfully. steered the measure through the house yesterday afternoon with o net result of only two votesUpton and Murnane against it. While the -bill was being considered lobbyists wore so busy calling out mem bers of the house that Speaker McAr thur threatened a couple of times to Have the doors-, locked unless It was ; stopped, and several times he sent the sergeunt at arms out after absent mem bers. Two determined efforts were made to amond the bill, the first being a com plete substitution for section 18,' and the other affocttng section 25. The sub stitution offered by Representative Howard and urged by Upton for section 18 was intended to give an injured em ploye the right to elect after the aecl . dent occurred whether lie would take ' his changes for compensation under the compensation law or the present liabil ity law, ; The proposed amendment to section 25 was Intended to remove from the compensation commission the au thority to determine whether the "em ployer was negligent in providing proper safety appliances about his machinery Club Is Tarown Away. 1'arsonn said these amendments would be a club over the heads of the cm plovers to compel them to give their era. - pl&yos protection rather than compensa . lion, , " . '.'Yes, tlmse amendments would be a flub," declared l-Awrdire, author of th-2 lll.. "They would be a club to cljib the measure to death. " .This view was taken of them by La toxirettc, who told the lawmakers that If thoy wanted to tako the heart out of the measure the . amendments would do it. He said if the amendment to sec tion iS was adopted no employer in the state would go under the act. Upton and Howard made the principal fight for the amendments, and then Upton was one of the two who voted against the measure.' He said the bill was not drafted in the interest of labor, but in the interest of the employer. "I'm informed that though labor had three representatives on the Committee that prepared the bill, they took no par in writing the measure, neither did they consult their labor,rgaftiaations. The bill is for the purpose of evading the .employers' liability law." Eaton Interrupted with a Question as to whether Upton thought the bill pre vented an employe from suing under the liability law. ; ' . ,'Tes," replied Upton. "For two years, they have ben, tpyin(r to convince me War this dUlntS)Ut I haven't been con vinced, and ft will take mtfre than hon eyed words to convince me," V Says Employers Want the Bill. Upton declared that corporation repre sentatives, manufacturers and mer chants hud bombarded the legislature- Jn support of , the bill, while he said no represontative of organised labor or any other kind of labor was there asking for the pn.snuge- of the bill. He said the substitution offered for section 18 was drawn by the laboring-men, "I've worked a down years in logging camps," fciiid Representative Hall, "and I've seen hundreds- of men with their fingers or arms or legs cut, off who didn't receive one cent of compensation. We want protection for. such men as they men who are working Id and 12 bourn a day whether the members of the Portland labor council want the bill or not."- . Besides Upton, Schuebel, Howard and Larsons argued in favor of , the two amendments, while in opposing them Swede I Vhips Irish NeighborimHis Friendship jJ BE Feud of 3 Years Ends in Series of Acadents-Feace (Special to Tb JourrsM Seaside, Or., Feb. 6.

The Newell wagon was com pletely demolished and the boy" escaped Injury by Jumping. The circumstances leading up to tne runaway fiad their origin about three years back, when Irwin brothers, ranch ers of this place, purchased two gigantic logs, a fir and a cedar, from the local mill company.' , The logs were bouglt for the nuroose of making fir shakes and cedar fence posts, but were left In the woods untfl such time as theowners could assemble a crew and work them two worn SAVtU rlfUiyi - OPERATIONS By Lydia E.

Finding the logs gone he went' to Ilov gard and demanded an explanation, say ing that the logs had been purchased by him and his brother, and the party tak ing them was a. thief. - 3Thls so enraged Hovgard, who doubted the purchasing story, that he answered in kind. ' This cost him tho loss of four front teeth and started his team, which was 'standing near by. ; ...-.i,? Although In the first part " of ' the "scrap" Hovgard received much the worst of it he concluded matters by putting Irwin In bed for three days, and by so doing winning the friendship of both Irwin boys, who, Irish as they are, didn't believe a Scandinavian "could scrap." SPECIAL ELECTION F on rat I COUNTY OBJECTS Senator Day Proposes One in August So Boards Can Be Cleared Quickly. (Staff Correipoiidoni'v.) . Salem, Or., Feb. 6.w-Benator Day has a plan to hold a special election on August 4, 1913, at which all laws en. acted by tho present legislature on which the referendum may be invoked, shall be submitted to a vote of the peo ple. He haa introduced a bill to this effect. "I expect the most important legisla tion of this session to go under tho referendum," Bays Senator Day. "It seems certain that the workman's com. pensation act and any state aid road bill will be referred, and I believe that appropriations for the- State University and Agricultural collcgo will be put under the referendum. If the appropria tion for the San Francisco fair Is more than 1250.000. that also will be held nip, "To have onr state unrepresented at the fair, the compensation act held up, good roads stopped and the educational institutions left without support for two years would be a calamity. Wny not vote on referendum measures while they are fresh in the public mind? if the people approve the legislation and want it, why should it be postponed ror two years?

Salem, Or., Feb. 6.W". S. U'Rcn, whose fame as an'export In lawmaking by the people is undisputed, does not agree with those members of the legis lature who take the stand that the leg islature should not amend the laws passed by the people. In fact, Mr. U'Ken would like to-liave some of the laws passed by the people amended, and he asserted that the legis lature,, as lawmaking body, should not regard the' laws of the people as matters to bo left untouched. "Sometimes tho people make mis takes," he says. "When the initiative as Introduced that Idea was carefully considered, and we thought that it might transpire' that the people would enact laws with defects that would seed to be remedied. , They might make a serious mistake in passing a bill, and I do not see why the legislature should not change It, ""It his been 1 said, somewhere, that man js prone to err, and the most of us do, sometimes," .

Salem, Or., Feb. 6. -County Judge Clcetou and District Attorney Evans of Multnomah county last night went be' fore the Multnomah delegation and pre sented their objections to the bill re quiring the county to assume the lease for the new O.-W. It. & N. bridge at Portland. Judge Cleeton declared that the city Is trying to have the county shoulder all the expense,- and that the bill is not surncientiy clear as to tne reguia tlve authority of city and county. Dis trict Attorney Evans pointed out parts of the bill which he considers unfair to the county, Ralph K, Moody, attor ney for the railroad, said tjhe -railroad company is not interfering in tne air ferenees of the city and county, but ob jects to certain provisions of the bill touching the railroad, which he asserted are not proper parts of the bill. Senator Kellaher, declaring that the object of the bill Is to fix the three-cent fare provision, threatened to cause tempest by moving to amend to raise the rate per car to five cents. Senator Moser, chairman of the delegation, ruled mm out of order, as Senator Joseph al ready had a motion before the house. . Joseph's notion, which prevailed, was that , the question be referred back to the legal advisers of the, city and county, the county Judge and representative ot the railroad company, in the hope that they may be able to agree upon a meas ure to be adopted.

I Salem, Or., Feb. G. By the provisions ot Senate Bill No. 145, introduced by Senator Bean of Lane county, a revision of the 4ame laws is proposed. The bill has been In the hands of tho game com mittee of tho senate almost a week, and during that time a number of meetings of the committee have been held, result ing in several amendments to tie btll as originally introduced. State Game Warden W. I Flnley has appeared be fore the committee a number of times, urging amendments to the present law and to the bill as introduced, which he says will give ample protection to the game of the state, and at the same time allow open seasons of sufficient length to mean something to sportsmen. The open season for deer in western Oregon as proposed in this bill is from August 1 to October 31, which is no change from tho present law. ' In east ern Oregon the open season Is from September 1 to October 31. The bag limit for the season In all parts of the state is three-male deer. A new tag system is proposed which will include a coupon to be supplied by the county clerk at the time the license is granted.

(Special to The Journal.) Olympia, Wash., Feb. . A bunch of game bills were the special order in the senate today, among them being one to establish the office of game wardenand appointment of , three game commis sioners- for three year terms, two from east of the mountains and one, with the game warden, -to be western Wash ington men. The measure appropriating 300,000 to rebuild the Cheney Normal school build ings Is now up to the governor. As Lister in his message to the legislature recommended curtailment of the ex penses tor educational institutions, a strong lobby of eastern Washington mon is in the capital laboring with the executive for favorable action on the ap propriation. The question of submitting a consti tutional amendment to tho voters at the next general election to forbid allec s from acquiring title to real estate in Washington was before the house at the morning session. Nearly every repre sentativo indulged inl lengthy , remarks and the measure was strenuously op posed by the members who came from the cities, the friends of the bill being tho agricultural men, who were fightin to the last ditch to prevent Japanese and other aliens from getting hold of smalt tracts of farming lands. After two hours' debate the bill was passed by a large vote and Immediately transmitted to the senate. By a vote of 63 to 40 the Wray bill which makes a gift of approximately $5,00x1,000 of Lake Washington shore lands to five private owners, including the Northern Pacific, is today ready for third and final reading. It precipitated a white heat debate in the house be tween the progressives and the reac tionaries, liepresentatlve liouser, who made the sensational waterfront mo nopoly charges which were substanti ated by an unfriendly committee, again led the fight against the "theft of lands which will be uncovered whe.n tho lake is lowered in completing tho Lake Washington canal." "The special interests, now monopo lizing the Seattle harbor, by this bill also want to bottle up the lake fronts,' he said. He charged Miller Freeman, who with Wfay, were the chief defenders of the bill, as being the "special interest rep resentative in the house. ' Wray also injected personal feeling in the debate. Advocates of the "no-treating" law are in great hopes today, as the result of a test vote Wednesday, which saved senator Davis bill from being in definitely postponed. Tho vote stood 23 to 19. The bill will make etata-wide the Taeoma ordinance which prohibits treating in places where liquor is sold JOSEPH PROPOSES END OF COMMITTEE SYSTEM (Staff CorreponaViici Salem, Or., Feb., . All legislative committees will be banished to outer darkness If an amendment to the const! tution Introduced by Senator Joseph Is approved and adopted by the people. Joseph' contends that the committee system Is all wrong. To have every thing done in open session or committee of the whole would be a tlmesaver, he asserts.- ' . "Here we have been fussing away for nearly four weeks, and the , only real work we have done was in considering the road bill in committee of the whole. We ought to cut out this committee stuff and throw everything open to the light. The resolution he has proposed would submit (he abolishment of committees to the people in 1914. DRINK HABIT.

"bonator Patton ' moves," announced President Malarkey, "that the courte sies of the senate be extended, to Dr. Cook, of North pole fame." With this amendment, the motion was adopted. Farrell then moved that the visitor be asked to address the senate. Dr.1 Cook spoke briefly, and did not say whether he really found the pole, or is only of "North pole fame." He did say that polar exploration is of some practical benefit, because to with in 600 miles of the pole .there Is room for development of mineral, fishery and fur animal Industries. . Three or four senators applauded Dr. Cook when Senator Patton introduced him, but that, was all, and the attempt to get him a demonstration was a frost. Blue Sky Bill Passes Senate.
