FISH COMMISSION
f ttalem, Jan. Is. A. new state board
of -fish and gams commissioners of
Tin member constituted Into two
departments representing the game
'and -commercial fishing interests of
the state under a neutral chairman,
'will supplant the present commla?
, 'sion on the first Monday in March
.next; In the meantime a leglsla
- tlve committee of fire members, two
'from the senate and three from the
flower house, will conduct an inves
tigation into the affairs of the pres
ent commission In an effort to get
. at the root of the lang standing and
. increasingly bitter controversy which
has waged around the admlnletra
tlon of fish and game affairs in
' Oregon.
J-JK1ET DISMISSAL FACTOB
" Included in the duties of the lnvesti
'; gatlon and of uppermost interest will
be the placing: of responsibility for the
stench that Has been stirred up through
the recent dismissal of William I Fi ri
le r as state biologist
Election of eight of the members of
.. the commission provided for In the Nor-
- blad-Handler-Bean bill as a rebuke to
Governor Olcott for his wavering policy
In connection with the fish and game
k squabble will be effected by the legls
. latnre as soon as the governor signs the
'bill, , some time before Saturday noon,
- the executive having promised to "Keep
. hands off' the measure'lf approved by
the legislature. In spite of the fact that
the, plan as adopted Is contrary to the
, wishes. ' expressed In the recommenda
, Hon contained In his official measure to
the special session, to which the legis
lators have added Insult to Injury by
Stripping the governor entirely of his
appointive power In connection with the
new commission.
JpraT BBtKE GOVERXOlt
While there may be some doubt as to
Who will constitute the. new members of
the n I lie-man organization, there is 11 1
i tie doubt if any In the minds of the
-legislators but that all four members of
I lhe present commission will be reinatat-
5 red In the new organisation as a vindi
cation of tbelr attitude toward the gov
ernor's demand for a reinstatement of
'Winter and as a further slap at the ex-
' Icutive for "passing the buck" in the
lah squabble to the legislature.
1 Although the Norblad-Handley-Bean
-bllt came Into the senate after its em
jhatto approval by the house, with the
. elclds all gressed for speedy action and
Jn 'unshakable line of defense standing
guard against the onslaught of its ene
jpilS, passage of the measure was not
.effected until after nearly four hours
. ftad been devoted to numerous outbursts
ef well spiced oratory.
4 Senator Thomas tried to talk the
foaaaur tn ripntli -if nnt rhnka H in
; dath by turning the flgbt Into a joke-l
by an hours harangue in which he dl-
, fttded his attention between scoring the
present commission for Its unfairness
l.to the sporting Interests of the state and
a sarcastic attack against (lover nor Ol-
' tCott, whom he advised to "go some place
-ana get some treatment so he can func
tion as an executive."
, LlH.tf COMES FARTT
' i" The lineup In the senate on its attl
4fude toward the measure was taken
rty In the afternoon contest on two at-
Jletnpta to delay action by referring the
bill 4 to committees, both of which were
met and turned down by the solid 17
Who stood for the bill on Its final pas
- ftace, the 11 who voted against passage
: et the measure on the final showdown
, I favoring the attempts to sidetrack the
V measure. The final vote on the bill, 17
to 11 was as follows:

Throughout the entire debate on the
, . bill there were Injected sarcastic and
stinging criticisms of Governor Olcott
, both friends and foes of the measure
s& taking advantage of the opportunity to
fccore the executive for his failure to
, t"sty put" on one aide of the contro
j"vrsy or the other, even Senator Eddy.

"WHEN ITS MUSIC
ernorj hof dd t ask for any of hi sug
gestions," An characterizing the election
provision In the bill as a "most -Vicious
proposal. . . r - '
While the sportsmen were opposed to
the measure because! of its failure to
entirely divorce the two conflicting In
terests, the real fight was waged ever
the elective, provision I which lakes from
the governor his appointive power and
places the naming of. the new commis
sion in the hands of the legislature for
the time being, at least, as several mem
bers expressed It. j
ELECT1TE FEATtTHE'AEFEilBEtt
Senator BankS defended the elective
feature on the ground that the execu
tive office had demonstrated its Inabil
ity to function In this connection. What
we need in some departments in this
state house,- he declared. "Is a little
more Gibraltar, a little less Jellyfish, a
little more executive and a little less
clerk." i
Senator Thomas, opposing the meas
ure, but accepting defeat as Inevitable,
scored the governor for "passing the
buck" to the legislature in an attempt
to make it the goat In the controversy ;
but he admitted that. It seemed as
though the executive had gotten a hold
'of the "hot end of the poker, and he
couldn't blame him for wanting to turn
loose."
Governor Olcott's letter to the com
mission upholding them in their action
in dismissing Flnley, yet demanding his
reinstatement as state biologist, was
characterised by Thomas as the "most
absurd document ever addressed to the
people of the state." ,
PERSONAL GRIETAKCE ALLEGED
The entire fish and game controversy,
Thomas insisted, was nothing more nor
less than a petty personal grievance,
which had come Into: the legislature
only "because of the weakness , and
failure of the executive office to'func
tion. and you can't make anything else
out of it" 1
Enactment of the bill Into law would
rock the polltlces of the entire state,
Thomas concluded. Insisting that the
election of fish and game commission
ers would be a state Issue until the
law Was repealed, which some of the
friends 'of the provision Intimate could
be expected as soon as a change had
been effected in the personnel of the
governor's office.
LOBBYING IS SCOBED
The presence of the entire board of
fish and game commissioners, to
gether with several of the commission's
employes, was openly resented by sev
eral of the senators, who scored them
for their activities in lobbying in the
interest of their own vindication.
Senator Eddy, although declaring that
he "held no brief for the governor and
asked for none of his suggestions," in
sisted that he honored the executive for
his. promise to keep hands off the
measure as approved by the legislature
and made a plea for legislation without
rceard to the governor's attitude.
Senator Tierce, in casting his vote
against the nteasure, declared that "IT I
were governor I would veto this bill and
throw it back into the teeth of this legis
lature. It is a most vicious measure,"
he concluded.
INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED
Action on the house resolution pro
viding for a legislative investigation
Into the affairs of the fish and game
commission was speedily accomplished
after the fish and game bill proper had
been gotten out of the way. The' vote
for the Investigation was unanimous,
even Senator Pierce asking to be record
ed as voting for the bll after first de
claring thai he did not know how to
vote. Senator Thonias expressed the
hope that the Inquiry would go deep.
Senators Norblad and. Gill will repre
sent the senate on tho Investigation com
mittee, tho three members of the house
rot having been named as yet.

Thicker Pavement
LOn Bridge Increases
City Bill, Says Barbur
"When the county commissioners
quoted the municipal paving plant's bill
of $1.56 a square yard for repair work
on the Broadway bridge approach, they
failed to mention that asphaltic cement
was laid to a depth of four inches," said
Commissioner Barbur this morning..
Discussion over the matter has been
brought to a head lately by the city's
bill presented to the county, at a sum
much higher than 8$ cents, which the
city originally stated they would do
county work for.
"We stand ready at all times to do
the county's work for two-inch surfaces
at less than $1 a square yard," asserted
Barbur." .

WINNER IN HOUSE
Vote for Bill Is Unanimous; Addi
tional Tax of Two Mills for
Elementary Schools Is Granted.
State House, Salem, Jan, 1.
The house adopted Senator Patter
son's joint memorial to congress pe
titioning congress to enact legisla
tion, denying citizenship to the child
ren of such aliens as may not now
acquire citizenship. There were no
votes cast against it by the house.
The memorial petitions congress to
so amend the existing law that the chil
dren of Chinese and Japanese parents
who may be born in the United Stales
shall not acquire citizenship by virtue
of their birth in this country, as is now
the case. This is not the wording of
the memorials, but Is its intent.
vote vi8 usrAjnMors
Consideration of the memorial pro
voked some debate but brought out no
negative Votes. It was pointed out by
Sheldon and others that the American
Legion was urging the enactment of
such legislation and was back of the
memorial.
Richardson questioned the wisdom of
the memorial at this time, because of
commercial reasons. He pointed out
that the shipping situation in Portland
was controlled by Japanese interests
and said he feared reprisals by them
should the state legislature go on record
as favoring such legislation.
Smith of Multnomah retorted that it
was Impossible to insult a Japanese.
SCHOOL TAX GRAKTED
The two mill tax Introduced in the
house by Mrs. Thompson at the request
of the State Teachers' association was
passed by the house without dissent and
With but little debate This bill pro
vides an additional millage tax of two
mills annually for the use of the ele
mentary public schools of the state,
It would raise in money on the basis of
the present assessed value of the state
approximately $1,998,000 a year for the
use of schools in their operation and
maintenance, In addition to present law.
The funds so raised are to be divkled
among the various school districts of
the different counties in proportion to
the number of pupils attending the
schools. The bill provides that it shall
be submitted to the people at the spe
cial election of May 21, for their ap
proval or rejection.
AIDS NEEDT CHILDREN
The bouse also passed house bill No.
88, by Mrs.. Thompson, removing the !-
year age limitation provision In the stat
ute governing the commitment of wards
to the institution for feeble minded. The
present law provides that children under
5 years Of age may not be committed to
the institution. The Thompson amend
ment cuts this provision out.
The passage of this bill by the senate
will result In the need for added finan
cial assistance for the institution for
the feeble minded, and the ways and
means committees have tentatively eet
aside $40,000 to take care of this neces
Sily.

HARMLESS DUEL IS
CLIMAX TO MAN'S
JEALOUS RAMPAGE
Mrs. Nellie Regan, Elmer Glass,
W. F. Bent and Nice Figure
in Early Morning Affair.
Fifteen revolver and small rifle
shots punctuated the thrilling esca
pade inwhich three Portland police
officers. Sheriff Wilson of Clacka
mas county and Mrs. Nellie Regan
and El mar Class of Kendall station,
in Clackamas county, were playing
leading parts between midnight and
3 o'clock this morning; Not one
shot was effective.
Glass is in the Clackamas county Jail,
said to be enjoying a typical old "morn
ing after the night before." He had
been a boarder In Mrs. Regan's home, it
is reported, and there developed an In
sane jealousy toward Mra Regan. She
was forced to order him from her home
andwhen he met her In Portland Tues
day night he attempted to take her to
task. She cried. The tears attracted
W. F. Bent, special officer.
Here Bent assumes a leading role.
Thursday night he recalled the case of
Mrs. Regan and Glass. He hurried to
Kendall station, arriving at midnight to
protect the house and home. Bent pre
ceded Glass by only a Short time. Glass
had added strong liquor in great quan
titles to his natural fury.
Glass was enraged. He went to hie
room and found his revolver. From It
he fired two shots at Bent. Bent rushed
next door and borrowed a rifle and
aimed a shot which passed far from
Glass. In the meantime neighbors had
called Portland police and Motorcycle
Patrolmen Ktlles and Wiles responded.
Glass shot at Wiles four times and every
shot was returned while Stiles, who had
found himself beyond his Jurisdiction,
was requesting Sheriff Wilson to make
haste to the scene of the "massacre. '
Wilson arrived and the storm calmed
under the soothing Influence of his
acquaintance with Glass. Calmly Glass
Is said to have delivered himself to the
sheriff without further attempt at mur
der. The action of the farce continued from
midnight until 3 a. m., when Sheriff
Wilson interrupted lt,-and cost the sev
