Minimum
Wage Bill
Is Passed
President Malarkey's minimum wage
bill passed, the senate by unanimous
vote yeBterday afternoon. Many sena
tors spoke on the merits of the bill,
the universal agreement being that
the bill Is one of the most Important
; pieces of constructive legislation that
has been atetmpted at the present ses
sion. In opening his remarks on the bill,
President Malarkey told of the efforts
that have been made by the Consum
ers' League to get at the truth of the
conditions surrounding the employ
ment of women and children, and of
the startling facts contained In the
findings of the league, after lnvesti-
Buttons carried on In the city of Port
land. . V
"The real end of government Is to
protect the weak and helpless," said
President Malarkey. "Not only Is It
to protect the weak and the helpless,
dren laborers
Senator Joseph's remarks on the
bill carried much weight with the sen
ators, because of the fact that the
senator represents one of the biggest
department Btores In Portland as Its
attorney.
"What we want," said Senator
Joseph, "Is a uniform wage. If wages
are fixed at $10 It will suit us just as
well as if the wage Is fixed at $5. As

MAY ASK A MILLION

There seems to be no question but
that Portland boosters will ask the
legislature to make a huge approprla-

as Oregon's share In building the pro
posed Interstate bridge from Portland
across the Columbia at Vancouver, but
It Is also a very large question as to
whether the legislature will grant It.
It Is claimed that a number of mem-

Frederick Franz Frledmann, discover
er of an alleged tuberculosis cure,
was made from Berlin at midnight last

that Dr. Frledmann probably would
permanently reside in America.
IIAS MONEY ENOUGH
TO PAY HIS FINE EASILY
To relieve the prisoner of $12,015.05,
upon being searched following bis ar
rest on the charge of drunkenness,
was the somewhat unusual circum
stance surrounding a case In tho po
lice court last night
Officer Irvln arrested the man, who
refused to give his name. He was
well dressed, and all that seemed
wrong with him was that he was car
rying a load he should have made two
trips for. Upon going through his
pockets, the officer found plenty of
distinction, or material therefor, as
phecks of considerable value wiere
found on him. The checks were upon
responsible banks In Portland and
Salem, and the officers declare they
were the pure quill, too.
After becoming sobered up a little,
his valuable were returned to blm,
with the exception of $10, which was
held, pending hU appearance In court
this morning. He failed to show up,
and the cjty Is $10 richer thereby.
AMENDS THE LAW FOR
ELECTING PRESIDENT
With seven senators objecting, the
bill Introduced by Senator Smith for
the amendment of the presidential pref
erence primary law passed the senate
yesterday afternoon.
The Smith bill proposes as an
amendment the division of an equal
number of delegates In each of the
congressional districts and the re
mainder at large, making It possible
for each elector to vote for the num
ber of candidates from his district and
for the candidates from the state. Tho
law, as passed by the people In 1910,
provides that an elector can vote for
only one candidate for delegates to
the national convention, or candidate
for presidential elector.
REPRESENTATIVE HUGHES
WAS AGAINST THE RAISE
The Capital Journal Inadvertantly
placed Representative Hughes, of Ma
rlon, on both sides yesterday In Its ac
count of the house action of passing
the bill to make the salary of the gov
ernor's secretary $3000. Mr. Hughes
was Btrongly opposed to tho j.luoo
salary1, . and thought that the sum
should be made $2000. The reporter
who made the error has been fired out
of the state, as Mr. Hughes has been
a conBlstent advocate In the legisla
ture of economy, and cutting down
state expenses.
Armories to (let $15,000.
Senator Perkins, of the committee
on military affairs, announced in the
senate yoBforday that no more appro
priations for the conBtructlon of ar
mories will be asked of the present
legislature. The Nounor bill for an
armory at RoBehurg, passed the sen
ate yesterday, carrying an appropria
tion of $20,000. A bill for an armory
at Eugene, carrying a 2r..Oo6 appro
priation, passed the senate some time
ago.
The $46,000 appropriated for armor
ies so far Is $5000 more than was ap
propriated two years ago. The city
In which an armory Is located; and al
so the county contribute to the cost of
construction.

Olympla, Wash., Feb. 8. Home
rule for cities of 20,000 popula
tion or more is provided in a bill
Introduced by Senators White, of
Bellingham, Shaofer of Spokane
and Stolner of Seattle. This act
will take purely city affairs out
of the realm of state legislation,
Bubject to certain limitations. It
gives the people of such cities
the right to frame and adopt
their own charters.
The Senate
Stands by
Governor
The senate this morning further
backed up the administration by pass
ing the bill substituted by the judi
ciary committee for McColloch's bill
empowering the governor to appoint
special prosecuting attornoy and peace
officers.
The bill passed differs from the ori
ginal bill tn that It makes provision
for a hearing of olllclal s against whom
charges are preferred by the governor
before the circuit Judge in the district
In which the officer Is located. The
original made the charges of the gov
ernor sufficient ground for the appoint
ment of special officers. Twenty-five
senators voted for the bill.
Object to Original.
Senator Moser explained that the
Judiciary committee felt that the ori
ginal bill gave entirely too much pow
er to one man because it made the
governor both complainant and Judge.
The strongest opposition to the bill
was voiced hy Thompson. He de
nounced the hill as lneffective; say hi",
that he considered that any other
measure to the same end except the
recall provisions of the constitution,
would be ineffective His chief objec-

grounds for his subsequent removal
from office.
Senutor Dlmlck' declared that the
bill was a big step toward law on-
forcemont because It automatically
provided that the governor must make
good his charges. "If his charges are 8peaker McArthur appointed Bone

Says People Linton.
Sonator McColloch. champion of the
measure, explained the bill as "a law
enforcement measure to make It possi
ble to enforce the laws on tho books."
"The ear of the people of Oregon Is
placed to thfl wall of this senate to
hear the vote on this measure," he
said.
After a long debate the sennte pas'

ing of oloctrlc headlights on locomo

view of tho Brotherhood of Locomotive

that the railroad companies are favor

placing them on all new engines, but

slight expenditure In equipping the
old engines with electric lights,

Senator Joseph, as representative of
the Columbia Great Southern road,
"the shortest and crookedest line In the
world," as It has been tornied In the
netiato, opposed the bill, He said elec

The house today rectified a matter
It railroaded through several days
ago, and went on record as not favor
ing one school of medicine over an

Joint memorial It had adopted, and
then proceded to chloroform It.
This memorial urged congress to
take favorable action on the Owen bill
now before the United States senate
relating to the marine hospital ser
vice. It seems that suspension of the
rules the othor day adopted the me
morial without knowing what the Ow
en bill was about Then floods of
protests began coming In by tolegram
and letter. Hence the recall.
Although today most of the mem
bers were still foggy as to the Owen
bill, when opponents of the memorial
declared, whether true or not, that
the bill created a national department
of public health, and prescribed that
Its officers Bhould be from the allo
pathic school of medicine, the majori
ty reached for the legislative chloro
form bottle.
Much business was transacted to
day, and a number of bills were de
feated. The Abbott state board of ac

yesterday, was reconsidered arid

C. Jackson, a farmer had a nar

midnight Friday when, mistak
ing It for the wagon bridge, ho
drove his team at a gallop over
the railway trestlo which is
seven blocks long. He had been
ordered out of town by the mar
shal for drinking too much, and
after going half a mile, took this
"short cut" back. Beyond losing

he admitted.
Home Rule
Amendment
Defeated
By a vote of 32 to 25 the senate res
olution to submit the home rule am
endment to tho people at the next
election was defeated In the house yeB
terday afternoon. Tho probability Is
now that the amendment will be plac
ed on tho ballot through a petition of
eight per cent of the voters.
Schuebel, Lewelllng, Eaton, Bone-
brake and Howard led the flglut for the
amendment ard bitterly scored the li
quor Interests of tho state, charging
them with using all manner of means
and misrepresentations to dofoat tho
will of the people, 90 per cent of whom
they asserted wanted liquor selling
done away with in Oregon. Hardly a
voice was raised openly on the floor
against the resolution, Olson ot Mult
nomah, chairman of the committee
which reported adversely against the
bill, apologetically explained that the
committee had taken that action be
cause Its members had been bothered
to death by loth Bides of this never
ending question."
There is a possibility that an effort
will bo made to reconsider tho vote on
the resolution, as Eaton of Lane, who
first voted no on tho motion to Indefi
nitely postpone changed it to aye
when he saw that It was going to bo
defcatod. His change places him In a
position to move a reconsideration
later.
Liquor Interest hove fought tho reso-
tion hard. Ro have tho anti-saloon
Interests. The lobby wus crowded
with ministers from various parts of
tho sfnto nnd local option advocates.
However, no artiount of lobbying or
speoches In favor of the bill cut any
figure, for the organization's steam
roller was In good working order to
kill tho resolution.
Those who voted for the resolution
wore: Abbott, Anderson of Wasco.
