' In support of ' the : passage of the measure It ' was pointed out that the bill was drawn to secure better representation for! all par ties and to restore party govern ment to the state. i . 40 percent Necessary Principal ehanges in the pres ent system- are that in order to become nominated a candidate must receive AO percent of the vote cast and If less, this nomin ation will go to a convention. A man receiving more than 40 per cent of the vote will be! declared nominated. ' I The measure was reported with out recommendation by the com mittee in order that the represent atives might be - given an ample opportunity to consider! it with out bias. Since it was received an amendment was made to pro vide for referendum' by the people. This clause changed several votes, though making speeches announc ed, and because of the close vote it is f doubtful if the measure would have passed without the amendment. I One Member Absent " Before the vote was j taken ;'a roll call was demanded And with the exception of Representative Lewis, who is kept away! from the session by illness, all j members were present.

Endeavor to Rescue Prisoner in Cave Are Unavailing " Help is Near CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 2. (By the. Associated Press) Floyd Collins late tonight placed his fate in the hands of his friend, Johnny Geralds, Cave City sportsman. Geralds said he would ; have him out tomorrow morning. Far un derground, the . two .men held a conference ! tonight , and decided upon another mode of attack. Held down by an f enormous boulder for more than ; 85 hours, despite efforts of hundreds of men to rescue him, Collins, optimistic despite the many failures, told Geralds to get him out. He also said he wanted his faithful broth ers. Homer and Marshall Collins, to help, but they have collapsed under the strain of more than two days constant effort to aid their brother. Hope, so often raised only to be dashed, sprung up ; anew to night when bucketfuls ofj earth began coming from the j black opening of the narrow passage way. Apparently another effort was being made to tunnel around the boulder. v i Collins was five inches nearer freedom tonight than he has been at any time since a huge boulder pinioned him in a narrow passage in Sand Cave Friday morning. A rescue party, headed by Lieu tenant Robert Burdon of the Louisville fire department worked at the big rck for three ! hours this afternoon and when they left the crevice,' exhausted. Collins had been moved five Inches. With each tiny move in the painfully tedious process of rescuing, Col lins, hopes long since dulled wera revived, but the victim was stiV. far from a free man tonight. The temperature waa 1 6 degrees above zero. . A ,: i Y' t'i The squad worked their way to Collins on their ; stomachs and Homer Collins succeeded in plac ing a leather harness ; about nis brother's body. ; A rope ys at tached to this and with the im prisoned ' man using his elbows to squirm and four other men tug ging at the' rope, Collins was .moved the short distance. Collins suffered torture during the work, first imploring the men not to "jerk my foot off.-, and later beg ging them 'to "to dope' me . and pull me out." ' 1 Y i Homer remained , behind whei the workers withdrew. Hopos buoyed by the belief that with the arrival from Louisville of a com pressed air drill Collins would be rescued, sank again -when the opinion was expressed ' that its rase would be dangerous, that it might cause the collapse of the entire passageway. . - - " 1 ' ; : ' HIGH -WATER REMAINS 1 The high .water at the state fair grounds still remains and is a bother to B.

Men May Be Lost ASTORIA, Ore.. Feb. 2. Water logged as h result of the heavy gales which have swept the north Pacific coast for the last two days, the steam schooner Coaba, 386 tons, bound from Wills pa Harbor, Wash., to San Pedro, tonight was being towed into the Columbia river by the steamer Forest King. Wireless reports from the For est King stated that thej entire crew of the Coaba was missing. The Coaba, owned -by Sudden Q Christiansen, was picked up by the Forest King late this after noon about 30 miles isouth of the Columbia. river entrance after she had been abandone by the steam schooner Gray's Harbor, jl which had first taken her in tor. The Gray's Harbor! put into As toria late today in a badly bat tered condition to make repairs. ' A wireless received here from the coast guard cutter 'Algonquin reported that the Caoba was ter ribly battered by the seas and that the deck house and most of the deck cargo was washed away. The Caoba was awash and with huge seas sweeping ovr her dif ficulty; In towing thej craft to As toria was being experienced. How ever, it was expected that the Forest! King would enter harbor some 'time tonight, j ! I - The report from the f Algonquin stated that there was no news of the fate of the Caoba's crew, but that boat falls for two lifeboats were dangling, giving'' evidence that the crew had taken ( to the boats in an attempt to reach the shore. ; . i ! Captain Jalmar Granman of the steamer Gray's Harbor statedVhere tonight he did not know what had become of the crew ct the Caoba. Captain Granman j said he met the Caoba at 3:45 p.m. Sunday and . put a line aboard : at the re quest of Captain Sandwig of that vessel.) j I ' At 6 p.m., he stated the line parted and he could! not get an other aboard. By that time the Gray's Harbor had 66! inches of water in her hold and: all pumps going. ! He stood by the! Caoba until 9:15 o'clock and; then sent word he would make for the Col umbia river. , j ; j The last he saw of ! the Caoba was as she was sending lip dis tress rockets and burning red flares. Shortly after, he says he saw two ships heading down the coast directly for the Caoba. Captain Granman believes some vessel ; must have taken off the crew of the Caoba as they would not venture in small boats in the sea then running. lie says that the master of the Caoba had in formed him that he would ask the next vessel along to take off his crew unless the storm moderated. The Caoba, in tow of the Forest King, Is due here about midnight. SUSH1LEG1L No Change m Salem Justice Court is Held Possible j At Present No change in the' salary of Brazier C.

Chairman sterling, of the sub? committee which first considered the appointment before the Wheel er case was injected into the dis cussion made the report late to day to the senate and leaders ex pect to call it up tomorrow pro bably in open executive session.

Plans and a course for replacing the wooden structures of the city bridges with modern con crete structures are to1 be consid ered. , Each year., it is stated, the city loses many thousands of dollars from the high waters that sweep awav the wooden bridges. The cost of replacing them year after year is a costly one, and It is the plan of Mayor Glefey to inaugurate a program . which will allow the erection - of the modern bridges when the old structures are car ried away or destroyed.

Federal prohibition officers under William Whitney, assistant prohibition di rector of jthis district, "are not to be. trusted." declared Mayor Ed win A. Brown, in a letter today to Chief of Police W. B. Severyhs, directing Severyns to "keep all federal liquor agents away-from rum seizures by the police and" to report how the federal officers had a part in checking a seizure at West Seattle January 30." i A quantity of liquor was miss ing after the January 30 raid. Mayor Brown said, ; , "The mayor's letter added 'that frequently after federal " "officers tailed to find liquor in raids, "po lice officers raided the L same places and found 1 liquor...

J.- Herwig, superintendent of the Anti-Salooa league, will be recalled before the legislative committee investigating the en forcement of the prohibition law at a special-meeting today after the morning recess and in all pro bability the investigation will be terminated, it was indicated last night. Prior to the executive ses sion there was an open hearing with standing room only available. For the most part this resulted in earnest pleas forj the continuance or tie prohibition commission. 'George Cleaver is incorruDtibie and he could have made a fortune in the two years he has been pro hibition commissioner," Governor Pierce, the first speaker, said. "Whether or not Mr. Cleaver is the right man for the office may be questioned,-but there is not, a ' cleaner conducted office in the state." ! - Cleaver Appointment "Crime" Demand that the-.present law ha wiped from the i books and the sheriffs and district attorneys be given an opportunity to show What they can do for the next two years was made by Oswald West, former governor, " who held :that those backing. Mr. Cleaver and the law were doing, wrong. :. i "The first crime was committed when Governor 1 Pierce appointed Cleaver, who he knew was not fit for the office," Mr. West said. I defy Governor Pierce to. say that he was the right man for he was familiar with his record in his own home town. Get rid of - Cleaver and his crew." Give Officers Chance "A one-legged constable with the desire and the nerve could better enforce the law than is be. ing done at present," the speaker continued. "I have no apologies to make for I have always been and always be ja prohibitionist. Public orricials in this state drink and everyone knows it. The dis trict attorneys and sheriffs havo asked for a chance at enforcing the law. Pass 'the buck back to them and then if they don't come through, come back In two years and remedy the situation." Replying to Senator Zimmer man's inquiry as to why he did not enforce the; law in Yamhill county while he. .was governor Mr. West said that he had done so without any machinery or money and that the bills were paid by himself with; personal f funds. Mrs. Washburn Again The large crowd that nearly filled the -house of representa tives heard Mrs. Virginia Brooks Washburne tell that illicit liquor dealers had but little to fear from others than state prohibition ag ents and that the newspapers had united to discredit Mr. Cleaver, who "had sufficient nerve to In vade the Portland Press club and take away their supply."
