When arrested they were Jjust beyond

all battle. In consequence, they were
bruised, scratched" and bloody. When
pulled, it waa Wund they had razors,,

The IiegUIatlve Troubles Are Trans
ferred to 1'ortland.
The "drastic measures" as adopted by
what is left of the Oregon legislature
yesterday to bring in the abeent mem
bers to do business fell through this
morning.
The legislative operations were trans
ferred to Portland by a resolution which
was adopted in the temporary house at
Salem yesterday to send setgcants-at-arins
after the members. On last night's
train from Salem were Sergeant-at-Arms
Glen Holman with five assistants. They
prowled about Portland with warrauts
in their inside, pockets, looking for repre
sentatives of the house. By midnight
some of the assistants had found four of
the gentlemen Bought after. They re
sisted arrest and out of that meeting
grew au assault case before Justice Mc
Devitt. Following this, Judge Stephens was
applied to tor a writ of habeas corpuB for
the arrested men. This waa made re
turnable before Judge Shattuck this
morning at 10 o'clock.
Ten o'clock came and found the court
house in a hubbub of excitement. Judge
Shattuck's courtroom was crowded, and
a large and eager audience awaited the
arrival of the four determinedly obstin
ate legislators. They were: Represen
tatives Jenninge, of Wallowa ; Hope, of
Malheur county ; Conn, of Lake couuty,
and Gurdane, of Umatilla couuty.
But they did not come. Judge Shat
tuck went on with the court's business
expecting the attorneys, but not an at
torney nor a client showed up. The in
formation was brought that the writs
had not been served. Of course, if a
man is'not arrested, there is no such
thing as habeas corpusing him, and so
tho matter dropped.
Sergeant-at-Arma Holman, when seen
soon after at the Perkins hotel, said that
tie waa only carrying out hlB instruc
tions. He had merely informed some of
the men that they were under arrest,
and he intimated that was about all that
he would do.
"I am going back to Salem this after
noon," he said, "and will make my re
report, If the the members don't go,
what tin I to do? They sent us out to
get the absentees, and" Glen held up
his finger significantly "you know that
you cau take a horse to water, but you
can't make him drink." Then Holman
said he was not siding with the tactions,
and went on to discuss how and why the
house was not organized.
Until the froat flies in Hades and the
River Styx is good for skating the Ben
Bon men today say they will not go back
to Salem. An expression quite equiva
lent to this is used by them in declaring
their intentions. Representatives Jen
nings and Conn said they would go back
there when Governor Lord called a spe
cial session.
The situation is such that it is proba
ble the entire legislative farce may be
taken into the courts, now that it has
begun. It was seriously expected that
the writs of habeas corpus would come

up today. Even some of tho officers who
arc carrying out the orders of the assem
bly laugh with the arrested absentees
and sav the have no more power to ar
rest absentees and take them to Salem
than tho president of a Slablown liter
ary society has power to jail a recalci
trant member for tardiness.
Today members of the Multnomah
delegation who have absented them
selves from Salem, were visited by tho
assistant sergeant-at-arms and mildly
informed ot the act of the assembly yes
terday. Deputy Cotton left last night
for Astoria to arrc3t Representative
Gratke, and on his return homo will
stop at Clatskanie and take Representa
tive Norman Merrill in tow.
Others of the deputy sergeant-at-arms
will today go to Washington county and
EaBtern Oregon for the purpose of serv
ing notice on the members who have
gone away. What tho result will be
time will tell.
The manner of making tho arrests was
in keeping with the farce that haB been
on the boards at Salem far beyond con
stitutional limit, as well as the limit of
human patience.
"How-do-you-do?" said a sergeant-at
arms, approaching Mr. Conn.
"I am well, thanks."
"Say, step over here; I've a little pri
vate matter to discuss with you."
"Certainly."
"I have a warrant here, old man,"
carelessly and reluctantiy drawing it
forth. "Would you like to see it?"
"No, not particularly."
"Well, now, I'll tell you. You are
supposed to be under arrest. Now the
others are going back, and want you to
go, too."
It waa like a skit from a farce-comedy
where the policeman saya to the culprit :
"Please let me arrest you. I hope to
die if I ain't a policeman."
The outlook is that the entire matter
of legislation must be held in aljeyance
until the courts determine whether it is
or is not their business to interfere in
the legislative muddle. The expecta
tion is that, if a test case bo brought at
Salem or in Multnomah county, it
would be heard immediately in the cir
cult court and an appeal taken to tho
supreme court. Chief Justice Mooro
would cause it to be advanced on tho
docket. If all expedition be used by
both sides to the controversy, a final
decision may be reached within two or
three weeks. If either side light for de
lay, a settlement may be deferred in
definitely. How It will terminate or
what will be the next step when the
sergeant-at-arms makes his report can
not be prophesied, Telegram.

The situation at Salem had a decided
change today, it coming this timo from
the senate. Only six senators answered
to roll-call, and these being tired of tho
farce, concluded to ring down the cur
tain. They wero true to their princi
ples to tho last, and in quitting still
maintained that the senate could not
adjourn without tho consent of the
house, and so thoy just dissolved, faded
out like a lengthening shutlow at sunset.
This settles tho matter aa far as the reg
ular session is concerned, and nothing
more can he done unless Govornor Lord
calls an extra session, which he is not
apt to do for some time.
