OHIO PLANS TO

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 10.
With "bury all dead laws" as Its
Hlogan. a largo and influential fac
tion of the Ohld constitutional con
vention, iu session hero today, is
conducting a. fight to Include in tho
new state code a statuto which will
purge tho lawbooks of tho state of
thousands of obsolete statutes which
havo como down through the hun
dreds of years of British and Ameri
can jurisprudence.
12. W. Doty, one of tho delegates
to tho convention from Cleveland, Is
the father of tho idea. Ho declares
that in overy stato of tho union' there
aro thousands of laws which, by tho
changes in communal life, aro as
dead as herrings. Hut every one of
them, ho says, is In full forco, and
it is largely through musty old pre
cedents dug out of these decayed
measures that litigation is made
tedious and that often Justice is de
nied. I "Thoro aro 1C.000 dead laws on

outlining his plan. "Most of thorn
are dead. Why keep thorn? And
then ho advanced tho idea which is
making the Ohio lawmakers ponder.
Doty's plan is simply a statute of
limitation on all laws. IIo urgos that
each law has a natural llfo of ten

Highly pleased with tlie reception

five days' continuous program of en
tertainment which kept him constant

arrived iu Medford Monday evening
on his return from tlie ceremonies at

"Culifoniians are famous for their
hospitality, but San Francisco fairly
outdid herself on this occasion," re
marked Governor West. "We were
welcomed ut Port Costa by tie mayor
of San Francisco and the fair com
mission, and from thence until wo
left, there was a continuous round of
receptions. luncheons, niito rides and
oxcursions.
"Orogon has the finest site on the
grounds foe the Oregon building. It
is on the highest eminence in that sec
tion reserved for state buildings. Be
tween the park and tlie Day, it over
looks the Golden Gate and commands
a view of the entire harbor. The site
is most picturesque and the fair will
he a great success.
"Oregon has been honored above
tlie other states. We have been made
to feel that we are first, not only in
selecting a site, but in the estimtninu
and hearts of Californihns. Every

"As in the enstorn states, I found
that tlie Oregon system of popular
government had been a groat ndver

'I found much interest in tlie pri

Superintendent O'Malley of the Bur
eau of Hatcheries Reports That
Few Fish Are Being Taken and
Blames Trouble Upon Dam.
Governor West Promises Speed Ac
tion Upon Investigation and May
Order Obstruction Removed.
"Unless something Is done to rem
edy the situation, either by removing
the Ament dam or by constructing
an adequate flshway, wo might as
well abandon hatchery operations on
the upper Rogue as far as egg col
lecting is concerned," stated Superin
tendent Henry O'Malley of tho fed
eral Bureau of Fisheries. Mr.
O'Malley has general supervision
over the hatcheries of the northwest
and bas,bepn looking over tho work
of his department In southern Ore
gon., and returned north Tuesday.
"Although the season Is far ad
vanced, practically no steel head havo
reached the Elk creek hatchery,
which shows that they aro not get
ting over tho dam as they should. I
spent Monday at the Ament dam. Tho
last high water lodged a treo across
tho south end and ripped off some of
tho plank face. A flood would tako
this section of the dam out, though
the concrete section built last buji.v
mer would stand. Tho temporary
flshway has been carried out and tho
fish cannot get up tho inadequate
old ladders.
"Now that a second receivership
has involved the property, 1 do not
know what tho- chances of a perma
nent flshway aro. This dam has
given trouble every year for many
yoars and until it is permanently
remedied, there will bo continuous
trouble. There will be no fishing in
tho upper Rogue this season unless
speedy action is taken. I have taken
tho matter up with the stato gauio
and fish commission."
Governor West was told tho con
dition of the dam and stated that ho
would at once iuvestigato tho cxtont
of tho state's authority and possibly
ordor tho structure removed If tho
law was not complied with. "Moro
ly because a corporation Is bankrupt
does not glvo it a right to violate
state statutes," ho remarked.
EOOAL SUFFRAGE

ALBANY, N. Y., March 19. By a
vote of US to 03 the lower house of
tho Now York legislature today over
threw tho adverse roport of the juli-
eiary committee on the woman sut
frago hill, and ordered thu bill placed
upon the ealutular. Heretofore ihu
opponents of equal suffrage hud boon
able, by smothering enabling bills iu
committee, to proveut consideration
of thu subject by the legislature Thu
action of thu assembly virtually was
nullified, however, by the Honnic,
which struck the suffragists a hard
blow iu striking out thu enabling
elausu of a similar bill by a vole of
21 to 17. This effectually killed the
soimtu bill indicating that there will
bo no ohaiico for suffrage legislation
at this session.
