ney wercMn a conspiracy to "rail-road'-blra
to Mio asylum, that they
were White's friends. Ho said it
was all right to talk about his being
Insane, but there was nothing to It.
WitHted White PHBlkriicd.
Dr. Evans testified that Thaw said:
"I novcr wanted to shoot this crea
ture, this beast, this blackguard. I
never wanted to kill him. I had no
deslro to kill this vile creature which
was devouring tho daughters of
Americans. I wanted him to suffer
tho humiliation of publicity. I wont
to seo Comstock, Jeromo's detec

Tho houso hns put on Its working
clothes and got right down to busi
ness from tho hour of convontio", 9
o'clock, until tho noon hour arrived,
and succeeded In dlsifoslngrof 18 of
tho list of G3 bills up for third rend
ing. Among tho most Important
measures rccoivlng 'favornblo 'consid
eration And passed wore tho special'
appropriation bill, carrying n total
of I101.7C0 for now buildings, ro-
pairs and Improvements of tho asy
lum, penitentiary, blind school, ro
form nnd muto schools. Tho Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
bill exposition bill,
carrying $100,000 and an emorgoncy
Clause, and tho bill which was de
feated on Saturday, providing for un
increnso in the salaries of tho asylum
physlclanH nnd providing for" two ex
tra physician's, whlchsjieakor Davey
moved a reconsideration, and 'suc
ceeded In convincing the houso mom
hers that It was a meritorious meas
ure, to tho extoni that It was passed
almost unanimously.
There was a strong fight put up
agalnBt tho Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc ap
propriation bill, principally by Jack
son, of Douglas; Fnrroll, of Mtiltno
mab, and one or two others In com
mittee of tho whole, but every effort
to reduce the amount to $35,000 or
even $CO,000 was promptly voted
down, and the Inst and most deter
mined effort' to striko out tho emer
gency clause, by Jackson, .of Douglas,
metjlwlth Ilka treatment at the hands
of the house, and the bill was adopt
ed '$8 a w'hOlo with a mighty shout
of 'approval, and passed In a like
masner.
' When tbV final vqte was taken
there wrs 10 negative "votes against
It, the principal Objectors being
Jacicson, 'of ' Douglas; Farrell, of
Multnoranh; Jones of Clackamas,
and Vawter, who explained that they
werje not poreonally opposed to tho
bllllj but did not believe their con
stituents would npprovo of such an
amount, and they opposed the "high
handed manner in which tho bill had
been passed and tho leaving on of
the emergency clause, which dpprlved
the peoplo of a chance to express
their wishes upon the measure at tho
polls." Tho necessity for tho emer
gency clause was explained, bowov
or, as being" essential to the Imrnrd
ato use pf the monoy, and tho state
cannot afford to, bo nlggardjy In tho
amount of money appropriated ' for
the" purpose of staking as ejchlbjt.
Tho houso spent tho morning"

d Printer on Flat Salary;
Tho bill to put tho stato printer
on n flat salary wns? considered by
tho houso la-commltteo of tho wholo
this forenoon, amended and passed.
Tho salary wus Increased to 4000
a year, tho law not to go Into offoct
untl 1910, tho and or tho present
printer's term. Stato Printer Dunl
wny was very active on tho floor of
tho houso, and his frlonds protected
his Interests at every point In tho
consideration of tho hill.
W. II. Ayer .Misquoted.
Tho Journal owes Mr. Wm. D,
Ayor, of Portland, a correction on
tho statoment thnt ho was In confer
ence with anyone nt Salem, ob to the
composition of. the railroad commis
sion. Ho says ho has nlwnys favored
tho governor appointing tho commis
sion if tho stato had one at all, but
he is not sanguine that any kls& of
a commission can accomplish mdch.
l(o says there has been no complaint
in Oregon of rebates, discrimination
or favored classes of shippers, and Jf
hr could have his way ho would havo
no legislation beyond requiring tho
Harrlman lines to spend In Oregon
for equipment and extension tho
money they mako here above fair
profits on tho capital invested) Ho
says Oregon needs extension and bet
tor equipment far more than a rail
road commission.
Those voting no upon tho passago of
tho bill wore: Drown, Farrell,
Donnelly, Gray, Edwards, Farrell,
Jackson, Jones of Clackamas, Kubll,
Merrymati Pike, Ilacklltr, Simmons,
Stoon, Upraoyor, Vawter, Wasbburne
Jowe) and Purdy, the last tw.p of
whom voted aye, but later changed;
; tk!r votes to no.
