Spokane, A pril 17.— A convention to
amend the o mstitukioai of the United
States, so that many of the reforms and
laws demaodqd by the people may be
carried out, is advocated by Judge
George Turner, ex-Uaited States sen­
ator, who has recently returned from
Washington, D. 0 .
A provision for
the calling of such a convention is
made in article 6 of the constitution,
although never in the history of this
country has it been applied.
“ I ass in favor of having a conven­
tion to amend the constitution called,”
said Judge Turner] tonight. “ Experi
ence has demonstrated that there are
omise ions and corrections which i t
would b^ wise to regulate. -
“ In article 6 of the United States
constitution it is provided that ’ con
greas, whenever two-thirds of both
houses shall deem it necessary, shall
propose amendments to thiq constitu­
tion, or, on the application of the legis
latures o f two-thirds of the several
states, shall call a convention for pro­
posing amendments which in either
case shall be valid to all intents and
purposes, as part of this constitution,
•when ratified by the legislatures in
three-fourths of the several states, or
by convention in three-fourths thereof,
as the one or the other mode of ratifi­
cation may be proposed by congress.'
” 1 believe tb it there is an urgent
need for such a convention. In my
opinion it is the only way by which the
necessary amendment can be passed to
elect United States senators by popular
vote.
“ There is an amendment needed to
the constitution to enable an income
tax law. This measure has been passed
by congress, but declared unconstitu­
tional by the Supreme court.
Such a
convention would make possible a uni­
form divorce law and also the Federal
control of life insurance matters, as ad­
vocated by President Roosevelt.
The
convention could go over the entire
constitution.”

only to find that their grain was not in

northwestern part, where the Soil is

snowfall. The scare was due to the
fact that the tops of the grain in some
places was frosen, but this is consider

Report on Steamship Valen­
cia Disaster.
Washington, A p r il 16.— The depart­
ment of Commerce today made public
tbe report of tbe special commission
which held an investigation into the
Valencia disaster last February, hold­
ing its sessions at Seattle. The report,
hich is made to the president and
B gnel by the three sommiasioners,
Laurence O. Murray, assistant secretary
of the department; Herbert Koox
Smith, deputy commissioner of corpora­
tions, and Captain W illiam T. Barwell,
U. S. N., consists of 52 printed pages
and exbaaatively reviews the teetimony
and findings of tbe commission.
A feature of tbe report is its severe
censure for 4he Pacific Coast company,
which owned the steamer. Tbe brant
of the blsms, however, is thrown on
Captain Johnson, who perished in the
wreck.
%
Sixty witnesses were examined, their
teetimony covering 1,860 typewritten
pages.
Though the commission was
without power to compel the attend
ance of witnesses and had no fnnda
with which to remunerate them, sub­
stantially all of the survivors of the
wreck were examined, except a lew
who had gone to distant points before
tbe inquiry began. In addition a large
number of master mariners and mem­
bers of the crews of vessels which went
to tbe Valencia’ s aid were put on the
stand.

voted unanimously to favorably report
the bill appropriating $400,000 for con­
tinuing the construction of the Jetty at
the mouth of the Columbia river, Rep­
resentative Jones was directed to m ake
the report.
This action was taken after Major
Langfitt bad submitted to the commit­
tee his charts and drawings explained
in these dispatches yesterday. The-
shoying made was so strong as to con­
vince every member of the committee
of the advisability of immediatly mak­

reported the Jones bill, which is iden­
tical in every respect with Senator
Fulton’ s b ill that passed the senate
several weeks ago, because several
member« believed appropriation bill*

the boose pastes the Jones bill, the
senate w ill readily pass it, inasmuch as
it Is identical with the Fulton bill pre­
viously passed by that body.
There is every reason to believe this
bill w ill soon pass tbe house. Tbe re­
port w ill be printed immediately, and
some time today Mr. Fulton and
Mr. Jones w ill call on tbe speaker to
get him to agree to let the bill be

Mr. Jonee believes he w ill be allowed
