Lower Fees Killed. The committee Iiuh renorteil un favorably ou house bill 18, one or the Ueniila group, which would provide for lower fees on automo bile licenses after a certain nuin bor of registrations. Attorney Ueneral Van Winkle has given an opinion to Itcpreecntative Koid that tbe bill is unconstitutional ax It takes Into consideration the value of the car in arriving at a ucensos lee. The committee last nlchl want Into executive session on house bill 69. by Swan, p. measure back ed by the railroads. It would pu cxtreraely high charges ou bus aud truck lines, using as a basis the capacity and miles traveled. Most of the members of the commltttc are agreed that the charges pro posca are unreasonable. However, the committee ie trying to woik out a bill along the principles of tho Swan measure but with rates that will be equitable. Keen Un Revenues. The roads and highways com mittees of the house and senate ith all the bills that may come In have one object to keep in view. namely, to know that any legisla tion enacted must be such tha' the state's Income from automo bile licenses ana gasoline taxes will not be decreased. Neither committee le likely to recommend any legislation that may be uncer tain as to Its coustltutiouallty. The attorney general has in formed llepresentative Kord thit reasonable tax rates will undoubt edly aland In the courts. Senntoi Hall's bill would cut the llce.ue fees 40 per cent and impose a gait tax of five reals a gallon. opinion held by several roads nnd highways committed members is that there will bo a slight re duction In tho license fees with a possible Increase of from a half to ne cent a gallon tax on gasoliuo.

TODAY f I Bligh Theatre ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE BOSS OF GOVERNOR (Continued from Page One) seasiot. not counting the hour talc en off for dinner, brought forth & medley of testimony, with La Rondo M. Pierce, one of tht main witnesses, sandwiched In wherever convenient. Ha was twice asked to retire while other witnesses were heard. Su bjtcl To Censure One vital conclusion was reach ed, agreed to by all members of the committee. In the words of Chairman 3arland this was: "We are all satisfied from the evidence that Mr Cleaver has been too active politically, and Is sub ject to our censure. So In this In vestigation we will not again con sider the question of politics." Most of the testimony sbout pol Hies came from anti-Cleaver wit r.esHes, however, and Cleaver Is to be questioned by some members on that subject. Senator Eddy said ne wanted to question him about his connection with the La Follette movement. Aside front Cleaver's assertion that .i was controlled by Govern or Pierce and llerwi;, and the committee's decision that Cleaver has Indulged In politics In an un becoming manner, other important phases of yesterday's Inquiry were: Introduction In evidence of a let ter written by Cleaver to District Attorney Toiikuc of Washington county showing Cleaver's attitude toward local officials. Llmllle's Testimony Testimony by Dr. J. A. Llnvllle. federal prohibition director for Oregon, refuting the testimony ali en Wednesday by Virginia B. Washburn, which appeared to flat ten Mrs. Washburn's testimony considerably. Testimony by La Ronda M. Pierce that ho had been aent to Deschutes county by Cleaver, with the sanction of Governor Pierce, co woric against local officers po I Ideally. Introduction by Hare of an af fidavit purported to have been made by Abe Weinberg, showing that Victor Hugo. Weinberg's as sistant In an Investigation for the Anti-Saloon league, had patronized a house of prostitution run by Martha Lord In Portland, Hare declared Hugo had spent state money there. i ne iirst witnesses called were three Portland ministers. Rev. Mr. Caughey, representing the minis terial association. Rev. 8. E. Du Bola and Rev. W. L. Riley. AU spoke In favor of retaining the state prohibition law. but did not mention Cleaver. Dullois and Riley emphasized tho need of coop era tlon with loeaU officers. Rev. Joe R. Benton, who was an agent for Cleaver in Douglas counly. defended his record, refut ing testimony that had previously been put In by Sheriff Sam Star rner of Roseburg. tHiKrnte Willi UsM The letter that had been written by Cleaver to District Attorney Tongue was Introduced by Senator Hare. An excerpt from this let ter, road by Hare, was substan tially In those words: "Some offi cers' In Oregon are moonshiners. Some are bootleggers. Some are nice fellows around home, but come to Portland for their parties. The purpose of this office will be to expose these facts to tbe pub lic. Tho law does not require this office to cooperate with you, but you with us. Note the difference." Another excerpt stated that "You will some morning find a lot of your prominent citizens under ar rest and you will then know that the now prohibition commissioner is doing his duty." Hare explained that this letter was a reply to a letter that had been written by Tongue to Gov ernor Pierce, complaining that Cleavcr'a men were coming Into Washington county and operating without notifying him. During a lull in the proceedings CJeaver was given an opportunity to explain a letter Introduced the preceding day written by him to a woman operative in Albany and advising her how to get evidence on the Abbey hotel in Newport. Cleaver denied that he had at tempted to have the woman "frame" on Mr. Abhey. Diameter of Agents District Attorney Liewelllng of Linn county flayed Cleaver for the character of agent employed by named Roy, who prior to working for Cleaver had been employed by him. Ho declared that Roy had Salem Public Market Salem's most convenient place to trade Corner State and Commercial Sts.

An other time, he said, Roy had in covered for two newspapermen Im plements in the county Jail which were represented by blm to have been cached by the slayers of Sheriff Dunlap. Liewelllng said ho was satisfied the tools had been cache J by Roy for political pur poses. Later, Llewe'.llng said, Cleaver wanted him to have Roy appointed deputy sheriff In Linn county so he could make the counJ ty his residence and run for sheriff, and because he would not do it the witneps said Cleaver and Roy conspired to have htm defeat ed for office. Senator Eddy hammered Llewell Ing vigorously for not notifying Cleaver of the character of Roy before Cleaver employed him, and wanted to know If he fallel to do It to protect his own pslltlcal pres tlge. 'To protect myself an.1 al30 pre serve respect for the prohibition law." Other ai;ents were mentioned who, Ltewelling said, were of simi lar character, one William Wilkie having a record In the state prison. He declared Cleaver tried to per suade the people of the county that the district attorney was a wet sympathizer. Llnvllle Denies All Victor Oliver, justice of the peace at Albany testified that In his opinion only S or 10 per cent of th search warrants used by Cleaver's men were effective In bringing arrests and convictions. For an hour or more Dr. Llnvllle smilingly refuted the testimony given the previous day by Mrs. Washburn, denying that he had asked her ot spread propaganda against the state department, or that he had ever In any way re ceived protection money from law violators. He was quizzed close ly by Eddy and Hurlburt whether he had recommended to the sheriffs' convention In Portland the abolition of the state depart ment, and denied It; also whether he had spoke In disapproval of the department, and replied "Not pub licly." Asked If he had stated to the sheriffs that he would not coop erate with the state department, he replied: "Under Its present management aid method of operation, yes." He explained that he would not be al lowed to do so by the head of the federal department. Frank Mitchell, attorney for Llnvllle, was again called and re futed testimony given by Mrs. Washburn. Carl Green, a special state agent who works under District Attorney Stlpp In Clackamas county, testi fied in behalf of the state depart ment. St armor Called Again Sheriff Starmer of Roseburg was again called, presenting affi davit to refute testimony given several days ago by Senator Staples relative to the clean-up at Kecds port, and defendlr-g his record there prior to tho creation of the state department. La. Rondo Pierce's testimony was largely to the effect that he had been employed by Cleaver and the governor ln political work and nsserted that the state prohibition department gave more attention to politics than to prohibition.

This led to a grilling of Cleaver by Hire and Loner gap as to whoth er ha had not attempted to defeat Dent-m Bur dick for tht legislature and had bis agents trail Burdlck for three weeks In an effort to get something on him. Cleaver admlMed that Burdlck had been trailed for three days be cause he objected to any wet man being elected to the legislature. He said he had very bad reports about Burdick's conduct, mentioning "wild parties." Trailed Burdirk "Don't you think It was a mis take, Mr. Cleaver, to play so close to politics?" asked Garland. "Y'is, I believe it was a mistake, Cleaver answered. La Rondo Pierce was further questioned about the blackmail plot against Cleaver of which he was accused by Mrs. Washburn. This he denied, declaring that Mrs. Washburn had suggested such plot. Pierce declared that ln prohibi tion work Governor Pierce and Cleaver were merely tools ln the hands of W. J. Herwig. Hcrwlg was on the stand a short time. He denied knowledge of the affidavits said to have come from Weinberg, Including the one rela tive to Hugo's conduct. Hare and Eddy engaged In a set to over Insistance by Hare that Herwig produce a voucher show ing how the $1500 ln state money given Weinberg by the governor through Herwig had been spent, Lonergan moved that Herwig be requested to produce the vouchers.
