New 'Orleans',1 La. Belated freight trains ' and enforcement ' of vagrancy laws in the Southern states combined to postpone the first-session of the an nual national, hobo convention in this city. Police authorities of Mississip pi, Alabama. Arkansas and other nearby states are. interrupting the itinerary of many of the delegates, ac cording td; Jeffersori' Davis, president 6i the "Casual, Unskilled and Migra tory Workers of America.

James Eads- Howe, of fat. Louis, so- called "millionaire hobo," and Presi dent Davis have made unsuccessful efforts to rent a hall for the conven tion, but they hope to convene soon. O'GORMAN FOR FREE TOLLS Declaration by Wilson's Friend ''Regarded as Significant. Washington, D. C In view of the friendship between President-elect Wilson and Senator O'Gorman, of New York, some significance is being attached to the senator's statement, when asked whether the incoming ad ministration would recommend a re peal of the free tolls provision of the Panama act. It seems to me." said Senator b'Gorman, "that Democrats who fav- 6r a repeal of the free tolls provision must wait for the declaration of an other national convention. The last national convention adopted unani mously a declaration in favor of free tolls. That is Democratic doctrine and I think it will stand for four years." Girls Give Up Cuticle. Kansas City Ten girls, ranging in age from 8 to 16, bared their arms to the surgeon's knife here to furnish skin to heal the burns of Reba Hainds, 10 years old, who nearly perished Christmas day in a fire which brought death to her father, mother and baby sister and destroyed the Hainds farm house near Arnett, Okla. Skin from the arms of ten more girls, who have volunteered to furnish it, must be ap plied before the operation is com pleted. Most of the burns are on the face. Lawmakers Deluged With..

It , was freely charged by those fa voi-ing the' bill 'that the letters ad dressed to members of the legislature on the qilestton "by various women clubs- throughout the state had been lent to these .clubs by an organized lobby.in.. the interests of big holders of timber, .and then remaned to the leg (slatprs. , Many or the letters were identical though coming from different parts of the state. PAPER-MAKERS VISIT SALEM Officers and Employes of Oregon f City Mills Are Heard. 1 Salem A small army from the mills at Oregon City invaded the cap jtal on a special train, 100 coming from that town to appear before the senate committee on industries at the hearing on Dimick's eight-hour bill. Testimony was heard not only from residents of Oregon City and from offi cers and stockholders in the mills, but from employes in the mills. In general the testimony was to the effect that there is no dissatisfaction among the men over the present hours; that the employes enjoy good health; that their wages are high as compared to other pulp and paper mill employes n British Columbia and Washington; that they like the work and that there is no demand irom the employes to have the hours reduced. One particular feature of the em ployment in the mills came in for a grilling from Chairman Smith, of the committee, when he attacked the Hawley mill for allowing an 18-hour shift once a week for the men. FOR PREFERENTIAL BALLOT Bill Covers Election of Governor, Senators and Representatives. Salem Just what Senator-elect Lane meant in his speech accepting the election to the United States sen atorship, when he referred to electing senators on a preferential ballot, but one election to be held, is elucidated by a bill introduced in the house by Representative Lawrence, of Multno mah. The election of governor, senators and representatives is covered by this bill, which is aimed to secure, if possi ble, the majority of opinion of all the voters, as to whom they desire for these offices. It is provided in the bill that the voter express his first choice for a candidate by any of these offices in the first column opposite the names on the ballot, his second choice in the second column, and his choice for all other candidates that he would be willing to see in the office, in case neither his first, or his second choice should win, in the hird column. ,. r, Determing the one elected results as follows : If any candidate shall be the first choice of 61 per cent of the voters, he shall be elected. But if no candidate shall receive 51 per cent of the first choice votes, then the first, second and third choice votes of all the candidates shall be added together, and the candidate who shall receive a plurality of these added votes is de clared elected. Fright Cause of Death. Milwaukee, Wis. "Frightened to death" was the verdict in the death of William Youngquist, a saloonkeeper, who died here while his son-in-law and a friend were attempting to get into the place; The two men, it is said, ordered Youngquist to let them in so they could clean up the place. When Youngquist refused, a gun was fired. Youngquist fell to the floor dead, although the bullet did not touch him. Twenty-Six Perish in Collision. Havre Twenty-six of the crew of the German bark Pangani perished Wednesday when that vessel was sunk by the French steamer Phryne in the English Channel. The vessels collided in a fog and the Pangani sank. Senate Votes for Probes. Salem On reconsideration the sen ate decided to make the wholesale in vestigation of the state institutions in and around Salem as provided for in the house resolution of Lewelling. Before the expected message from the governor demanding an investigation at the penitentiary could be opened, Senator Wood moved to reconsider the investigation resolution. "There have been charges and counter-charges and insinuations directed at some institutions," said Senator Wood, "and as a question of fairness and justice to all concerned an investi gation should result." It was decided, on suggestion of Senator Miller, that the governor's message be read, and this was done. Smith, of Coos and Curry, declared that if the investigations are carried on they should be done thoroughly and not in the perfunctory manner of in vestigations of the past. Dimick Starts Big Debate. Salem The main portion of the time of the state senate Wednesday morning was devoted to a heated de bate on the bill of Senator Dimick providing for the election of road su pervisors by the people rather than their appointment by County courts. Dimick took a number of the senators to task for opposing the bill, which provided for the election of these minor officers by the people when the day before they were glorying in the fact that United States senators were thus elected. $9,000,000 IN APPROPRIATIONS Legislature Flooded With Requests for Cash. Snlem Legislative appropriation requests already in sight are over $8, 000,000, with a possibility of the ap propriations asked for going over the J;),000,000 mark unless the demands that have been made are discounted largely in future requests. Up to the adjournment Saturday the legislative assembly had received ap propriation bills amounting to $3,422, 081, to say nothing of numerous minor demands for per diem and expenses which probably will figure an easy $100,000 more. The previous week the demands to taled approximately $1,087,000, so the second week saw no cessation, but a decided increase in the appropriation bills. Un top oi this there are bills in sight, not yet introduced, of over $4, 000,000, covering estimates of expense for running the state government, with fully $300,000 more for smaller similar bills to bring up the total. A few of the bills which have been introduced are duplications, but in the totals these have been mainly eUmin ateu. lhe appearance of so many large appropriation bills before the great bills for institutions and main tenance of state government appear, is already having a salutary effect on some of the members and there are declarations made freely on every hand that the pruning knife will be applied vigorously. but one highway Dill carrying an appropriation has so far been intro duced, this being the bill by Von der Hellen at the request of the State Hotelkeepers' association, and carries an appropriation of $800,000, $300,000 for the first year and $500,000 for the second year. Another huge appropriation that was asked tor during the past week was that carried on the Forbes bill, asking for $500,000 for the state to take over the Columbia Southern Irri gation project. WEEKLY PAY DAY IS DESIRED Measure Would Prohibit Issuance of Store and Money Orders. Salem Prohibiting the issuance of store and money orders and providing that all employes of certain firms and corporations shall be paid weekly, a bill was introduced by Thompson, by request. The measure applies to mining coal, ore or mineral, quarrying stone, lum bering, logging, canning, manufactur ing iron, steel, lumber, staves, shin gles, heading barrels, brick, tile, ma chinery, agricultural implements or manufacturing implements, any article of merchandise or to those engaged in buying or selling of merchandise or in the operation of any mercantile busi ness, or to those engaged in the rail road business, street railway, or in any building trades or in the construc tion of street railways, roads, bridges, sewers or viaducts. MORE VETOED BILLS PASSED Legislature Administers Severe Re buke to Governor. Salem Lined up with an invincible front, both houses of the legislative assembly Friday administered a severe rebuke to the governor for the at titude he has taken toward house members in connection with the pas sage of the Thompson bill. Five ve- toedbills were passed over his head. The vote was overwhelming in both bodies. In the house the first -vote was 55 to against the governor; the seepnd, where some switched on a matter of principle, 46 to 9, and the third swung to 55 votes against the governor. On this vote there were but two with him, others being absent. On the fourth measure the vote stood 45 to 13. In the senate the Thompson bill, which caused the governor to become nfuriated because of the actions in the house, when that body passed the 11 over his head, was passed by an enormous showing against the governor. A crowd that packed the lobby surg ed into the senate chamber to hear the debate on the bill, and when the smoke cleared away 27 senators went down the line against the governor, while a bare showing of three Mc- Colloch, Miller, and Von der Hellen stayed with him. Rule Amendment Attacked, Salem The expected attack on the proposed constitutional amendment to go before the people repealing the home rule amendment of 1910, came when the resolution was reported into the senate with a majority that it not be adopted. Calkins, introducer of the resolution, and Miller sent in a minority report favoring adoption of the resolution. An attempt on the part of Calkins to have the subject made a special order of business later in the session met opposition, but finally carried. Free Express Deliveries Aim. Salem Express companies will de liver free of charge, to all parts of incorporated cities and towns of Ore gon, express parcel's addressed to persons in any town in which such companies have an office or depot, if a bill introduced by Representative Par sons, of Lane, becomes a law.
