favor of it, and It was on the substi
tution of the minority report for the
majority report that the vote was
taken.
Senator Albee lead the forces fa
tirabie to the bill and Senator Abra
hms those opposed to it. Albee be
lieved that It was a wise measure and
pointed out that the legislature, in
passing It would follow In the foot
steps of Indiana. Senator Abraham
took the position that it was but a
freak measure, which would add
further distinction to Oregon's sys

it was unconstitutional on the ground
that the constitution provided no un
usual or cruel punishment should be
inflicted upon an Inmate of the state
prison.

of New Orleans' fight for congres
sional recognition as the site for the
proposed Panama exposition, the
hearing to have been given the San
Francisco and New Orleans represen

was iiosLoneU until Monday. ,
The question was brought up In
the committee in unofficial discussion
in spite of Governor Sanders' ab
sence and an effort was made to fix
the time each delegation shall be al
lotted for its argument. A general
disposition to cut the arguments
short, visible among the members of

that each side be given one hour.
Senator Flint, of California, sug
gested that New Orleans be given an
hour and that San Francisco would
be satisfied with half that time.
Senator Thornton, of Louisiana,
Raid that his constituents had been
promised two hours by the commit

he, was In charge of the New Orleans'
fight, it did not feel Justified in. can

Senator Flint agreed to let ' New
