Ho vetoed tho amondmont. if. I). 23, rolatlng to tho closed season for salmon In tho Umpqua, was vetoed on account of nn error In tho tltlo, which would render tho bill void as far as its purposes nro concornod. S. B. 18, providing for tho uso of voting machines, was vetoed bo causo of tho Joker It contains. It provides that no machino costing moro thnn $500 shall bo considered. Tho governor says: "I am forced to tho conclusion thnt thoro aro machines thnt might cost moro than $500 which could not bo considered becnuso of that limi tation, even it ono of them might do tho work of two at tho lower prlco. It smncks of an effort to loglslato in tho Interest of ono or moro establish ments with lower-priced mnchlnos, and I cannot give It my nssont. Tho ofllcors named in tho bill aro Just as competent to decido as to prlco as they aro to decido as to quality, nnd howover meritorious tho bill may bo it ought to bo defeated unless It vests tho nuthorltlos with absolute freedom to do what Is best for the stato after models hnvo beon sub mitted and tho bids of all consid ered." Regarding tho bill creating tho cheese, crenmery nnd dairy Inspector with a salary of $1500 and $1000 for traveling expenses, tho governor says thoro nro two objectiens: "First. Although this legislature has repeatedly ignored It, tho ap pointing power is an executive func tion that ought to be exercised only by tho governor. I bavo overlooked !tho fact in a number of cases whoro 'this exqeutivo prerogative has been ignored by tho legislature, but al ',ways with roluctanco, and only in peases vitally affecting tho general welfare. In those cases tho appoint ing power has been vested In tho governor, secretary of stato and 1 state treasurer, hut T dn tint think (that the precedent should be estab lished of extending that power furth er, nor shall It bo with my approval. "Second. The duties imposed by this new bill are those which ought i to be discharged by tho Oregon Dairy land Food Commission. Tbo creation 'of new offices and new commissions, j it seems to me ought to stop sorae ' where, and I know of no better place than to begin with tbo bill under 'AAnaMarfitlrtn " H. B. 15 was vetoed for two rea sons. First, because tho stato has not consented to become a defendant In actions aa!nst Us employes, and therefore the bill would be Inopera tive; and scod, the governor says the bill is ot is line with a sound publte policy. He saya a buIae taaa efct to kaow the credit aad uk41 of ttM to whew k -tad erJt wHht harra-iMf tk Dr. Harry S. Roger, Hormann's al ternate Bccretury, tcatlilod that tho books destroyed wore Hcrninnn's prl- vato letter copy press, and thnt ho always so considered them. J. T.

It was identified by Mr. BridgOB, District Attorney Bnkor stating thnt ho doslrcd to Bhow tho Intimately friendly relations existing between them. He further snld thnt this transaction In which Ageo was involved took plnco while Hermann wns nt tho head of tho land office, nnd ho should hnvoknowlcdgo of It. Bridges took Issue- with Irving Rittenhouso, who Is nsalstlng Mr. Baker In tho prosecution ns to somo statement that Mr. Rlttonhouso nl leges that he made, and said thnt ho had no knowledgo thnt ho had beon examined by Mr. Rittenhouso. An attempt wns made to Impoach part of Mr. Bridge's testimony by Mr. Rit tenhouso by showing thnt his testi mony on tho stand did not agrco with statements alleged to havo beeu made by Mr. Bridges to Mr. Rltton houBe. ThlB attempt led to a dlsputo of short duration, but Mr. Ritten houso was permitted to testify. Unliiowii Girl BulcluV. an Francisco, Feb. 26. A well dressed woman, apparently refined, and wearing expensive Jewelry, en tered the cafo of tho Emporium de partment storo on Van Ness avenuo early this evening, ordered Ico cream ate a small quantity of it, and thpn placed a vial of carbolic acid to hor lips and swallowed the contents. The young woman's scream as sho fell forward across tho tablo created a panic among tho 50 or 00 womon who were taking tea in tho cafe. Tho manager of tho place tried to forco a quantity of Bweet ojl down tbo wo man's throat, but In great agony, sho fought him off. A physician, hasti ly summoned, attempted to save hor life by applying a stomach-pump, but she struggled successfully against it.

Joromo then developed tho fact that Evolyn by Christmas eve, 1903, had formed tho opinion that Thaw was crazy on tho subject of Whlto. Sho said Thaw was cortnln Whlto was persecuting him.
