HOBOES RUN AFOUL OF LAWS
Freight Trains Late; National Con
' vention Is Postponed.
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. "
Seventy-five of. the "workers are
-in the .New Orleans house of detention
on vagrancy charges and Chief of Po
lice Reynolds has announced that
every man under arrest must give a
good account Of himself or remain in
prison until after Mardi Gras.
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.

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.
