Ely, in a Curtiss racer, successfully demonstrated tho practicability of the aeroplane in naval warfare today. Starting from Capitol field at 10:45 this morning, Ely covered the 12 milcB to tho cruiser Pennsylvania, lying in San Francisco Bay, in less than 15 minutes, took lunch eon with Captain Bishop, and returned to the aviation camp. He landed on a specially constructed platform on the deck of the Pennsylvania with a hardly perceptible jar, and, picking up with specially constructed hooks 25 ropes weighed with sand bags at either end, crime to a stop within 35 feet of the point where he first touched. A side platform and canvas buffer at the fur ther end proved a superfluous caution. Washington, Jan. 18.—"There is absolutely no proof, direct or indi-' red, from which legitimate inference could be drawn that a single mem ber of the general assembly was cor ruptly influenced to vote for Lori- ' mer.” This was the conclusion of Senator Burrows, in a speech to the senate to day, defending the majority report of the committee on privileges and elec tions, confirming the right of Lori mer to his seat in the senate. Sum marizing the testimony of White,, Link, Beckmeyer and Holts, Senator Hurrows says it is obvious there is nothing In any of their statements which would justify the conclusion, that their testimony as to theory, is true. Burrows said of White that he was so devoid if all sense of honor or shame that he was ready to barter his vote for anything and to anybody who could bring him personal gain.

Salem, Or.. Jan. 18.—The senate devoted all day to a fight over a res olution endorsing the Oregon system as the beet in the world. The pro gressive and standpat republicans battled it out together. Senator Bourne was roasted by Bowerman as a product of the system, saying that Bourne was the most corrupt mas who ever misrepresented Oregon la Washington, and referred to ths Eldridge block headquarters.

All corporation license money and inheritance taxes are to be used for High school funds, and each county is to receive one thousand dollars from the fund, the balance to be distributed according to the number of teachers employed in each county. An attempt to amend the initiative law was killed by the house thia morning. A measure was introduced in the house abolishing all district attor neys and creating county attorneys. Calkins and Nottingham register ed the only votes against adopting the income tax r» olutlon. Calkins said the law would breed spies and let loose a band of informers, and that special agents would be as. thick as the cioud of locusts that settled over Egypt. That A.

Pacific University will line up against the Varsity five, and if re ports of the Pacific team are trne, the game will be a mighty interest ing contest. As the interest this year has been greater than ever be fore, and as Oregon is supposed to have the best basketball team in her history, a large crowd is expected to see Coach Hayward's men make their initial bow to the college people. The old men who will probably be in the line-up are Jamison. Walker, Elliott, and Watson. Among the new players this year, Fenton, Roh- erts, Brooks, and Service, have been doing exceptionally good work, and may be in the line-up Friday -ven- ing.
