Alleging that It was his desire to pass the selection of the eastern Ore gon asylum site over to the new state board but that by the provisions of the law creating It, he was com pelled to act when he did; asserting that he located the site at Pendleton only after he had availed himself of the investigations and opinions by experts as to all the sites concerned and that his selection was based on the report of those experts; and giv ing his reasons for the appointment of Dr. I'laniondon as superintendent of the branch asylum the fact that lie did not agree with the extravagant policy pursued by Dr. Stelner, super intendent of the state hospital for in sane here and did not desire to have him supervise the construction of the building and frame its policy, Senator Jay Bowerman yesterday af ternoon took the floor when a reso lution was returned from the com mittee of resolutions recommending the appointment of a committee to investigate the site and spoke in a defense of the action of himself and the old board in selecting the site. Ho spoke for about an hour and it was pronounced one of the best ad dresses ever delivered in the senate hall and after Its delivery he re ceived many congratulations from his friends. Word had gone out that the resolution would be returned from the committee In the afternoon and that It would come up for debate and the senate hall was crowded to Its utmost with interested spectators. The house adjourned for an hour to listen to the proceedings. Acted in Good Faith. Senator Nottingham who acted in conjunction with Senator Bowerman in the selection was the first to speak when the resolution came up for con sideration. He stated that the old board had carefully investigated all the available sites before the selec tion of the present one. He main tained that we were none of us free from mistakes and that if a mistake had been made In the selection of the site that the board had acted In the best of faith. He resented the action of the new board in bringing the matter before the legislature , in the way It had and maintained that it should have consulted the old board and asked for an appropriation to purchase additional land If the site did not contain a place for a building purpose, , Senator Joseph stated that In view of the Insinuation that had been made with regard to the action of the board in the selection of the site that those making the selection should desire an , investigation and that he hoped that it would show that there was no mistake but that the site was alright. Rowernmn Compelled to Act. Senator Bowerman. prefaced his speech with the remark that while a member of the legislature for five years that this was the first time he had ever found it necessary to ex plain his action with regard tq pub lic matters. He then proceeded to show that while he desired to pass the selection of the site up to the new board that under the provisions of the law creating1 the Institutions that it was necessary for the board to act, and that because of the ill ness of the governor, the duty fell upon his shoulders. He then showed that State Treasurer Steel, as mem ber of the board, because of the death in the family declined to ac company him and assist him in se lecting the site, and that so did also Dr. Stelner. . r Land Examined By Engineer. Before starting out on his hunt for a site, he said, he secured the ser vices of a first class engineer G. O. McCarthy; and sent a real estate roan with him to secure options on the different sites: He then quoted the report of Engineer McCarthy which. showed the Carpenter-Oliver tract to consist of 314 acres, 180 acres of which was bottom land, 25 acres of which was in alfalfa, 20 in pasture, 25 in garden stuff and 10 acres In or chard and the remainder In timber and brush. The balance of the land was wheat land and lays high and is rolling. The report showed that a supply of good water could be ob tained from the city of Pendleton and that the water right attached to the land would irrigate 120 acres. The land, says the report, has an excel lent drainage and has on it four wells and two good springs. After quoting this report, he asserted that State Treasurer Kay admitted that it was the finest tract that he saw on his recent expedition. Pendleton Best Locution. In considering the different locali ties for a site, he stated, in order to secure the best location, he secured all possible (lata as to each. He stated tst he li'd V. Coehran go to the rovernn'ent weather bureau nd secure data from it and that it showed Baker has an average of nine months when there Is snow or traces of snow; Union seven and Pendleton Ave and that the climatic conditions In general were in favor of Pendleton. He then proceeded to show that Pendleton afforded the cheaper transportation for patients when eastern Oregon was considered as a whole and also the cheapest freight rates for supplies. Coming back again to the site he maintained that Professor Scudder.a soli expert of the Oregon Agricul tural College, had pronounced it good, and that Dr. Stelner had stated that Pendleton was the best location of the three considered, and that in view of th(e things he selected the site and that It was worth every dol lar paid for It. Stelner Extriniiviint. Turning to the matter of the se-j lection of Dr. Plaiuniidon as superln-! tendent of the, branch asylum, he I maintained that lie did so because he j did not agree with Dr. Stelner's ideas) of conducting an asylum and that he did not want him to have the super vision of the construction of the eastern Oregon asylum and the fram ing of its policy.. He then reviewed the advice Dr. Stelner had given him in the selection of a site and pro nounced it . impracticable and pro ceeded with an atack upon his policy at the state hospital for Jnsane locat ed in this city. Had to Curb Expenditures. 'While acting-governor of this state," he said, "I found it necessary to a certain extent to curb his activ ity in the expenditure of money and endeavored to Impress upon his mind, the fact that the law of the state re garding appropriations was Just the same, as any otherilaW. Now "in ex amining these reports you will find, Mr, President, the upkeep of an auto mobile during the last half of the year amounted to about $400 and about $1000 during the last 18 months. You will find that we ap propriated $7,500 ,to build and fur nish two physicians' cottages and you will find that, they have spent about $12,000, I Have had - copied from the secretary of state's office some of the vouchers for the fur nishing of that institution which I wish to call to your attention.

Sot-Used to Cliiiiupiiirne. "We appropriated $100,000 to build a receiving ward and they have hard ly scratched the ground. The build ing w-e expected to spend $100,000 for will cost $500,000. For these reasons I have differed as to the way and the method In which our money Is spent. The people of the state of Oregon, or at least we, of the bunch grass coun try are not accustomed to these champagne glasses. Imported Ver mont marble, etc. We want a plain trick structure that will be useful and care for our unfortunate wards and want It right away. I wish to say that as an offset for the high class civil engineer, the new board took a plumber, a man who was for merly employed In Salem as a plumb er, Mr. Murphy and he Is not a civil engineer. I understand that he is now assistant engineer at the asylum, filling the boilers out there or some thing of the kind. ' He is the man whom you read about hi the papers who Is making objections as to the selection of this tract. ! Cost of Id 11111(e) Increase. "There Is another reason why I do not wish this building to be con structed under the direction and' ad vise and along the lines that have been followed out here and that Is the fact that the average cost of keeping the inmates in this institu tion has Increased since It was placed under Its present management, as the records In the secreetary of state's office will show. The amount which we are paying now over what we paid under former administrations amounts to almost $7,000 a month. For these reasons and the things I saw while acting-governor of this state, I found that the taxpayers of this state were entitled, to different advice from that of Dr. Stelner and I .say this not as a reflection upon the moral fiber of Dr. Steimy but be cause I disagree with him." Senators Bean and Chose were ap pointed as a committee to make investigations. HOUSE STARTS WITH SCRAP.' (Continued from page one.) No. 167,. Mahoney, relating to re cording conditional sales of private property. ' In the Semite. Should the house pass a bill passed this morning by the senate and which provides that deeds and mortgages not recorded shall be void as to sub sequent purchaser In good faith. It will be no longer necessary for a purchaser of land to await five days to ascertain whether lits deed Is of any value but he may learn the fact at the time of the transaction by an Inspection of the record. . Under the existing law, purchasers of land have five; days in. which to record a deed. Frauds may be and have been committed under the pro visions because it was possible for the vendor to execute a deed on one day to one purchaser and another on the next day to another-- purchaser. The first purchaser would have five days in which to record his deed and so would the second but the time of the first would, elapse before the lat ter and when upon the recording of the,, deed by the first, the second per son's deed would be void.' Under the present system no purchaser can rely upon the record when he goes to record the deed until after the five "st as until they have gone by there may still be another deed In existence which may come in for record and take precedence over his. Under the bill passed this morn ing, a purchaser must record his deed at once and under that system a prospective purchaser, by an in spection of tlie records can tell at a glance as to whether the title to the land is, clear. Adoption Law Passed. Another bill passed by the senate this morning was one pertaining to the procedure to be pursued in the adoption of children. The present law on the subject provides that a person petitioning to adopt a child must Institute the proceedings In the county where the parents of the child reside or in the county in which the petitioner resides. Under the bill passed this morning the proceedings may be. instituted In either of these counties or in a county where an in stitution Is located and In which the child may be confined. The bill Is intended to benefit the latter as now those seeking to adopt children from these Institutions are unable to insti tute the proceedings in the county where the Institution Is located, un less It. Is also the residence of the parent or petitioner. A. bill changing the name of the Oregon .Reform School to that of the Oregon .Training School was also passed.. l'uttou'a Hill Substituted. The Judiciary committee brought In a report relative to a bill Introduced by Senator Patton abolishing capital punishment, and, recommending that another bill be substituted. Senator Patton's bill provided for the abol ishment of capital punishment and the substitution of rife imprisonment in cases of murder in the first degree. The bill substituted makes the same change as to convicts In the state penitentiary where they attack any of the officers with a deadly weapon. The present law now niakes that a capital offense. The bill was read the first time this morning. The committee recommended that a bill relative to appeals from the low er courts to the supreme court pass. k BUN Introduced.
