man from Snohomish eddy had
been guilty Of, viz: standing up in the
Legislature in defense OF quackery"
The speech did not touch the real ques-
tons at issue, and no answer to it was
necessary.
Judge Evans said hompopathists,
who were graduates of Il regularly or
ganized medical college, were just Il.
regular" as any OF the sO-callcd old
school physicians, and were so gener-
ally regarded throughout the profess
sion.
DIR. Blair agreed with Evans in this
statement.
The bill passed: ayes 40 and noes
II, and the emergency clause was al
forwards incorporated.
And thus ended the exciting incl
dents OF this memorable day.
On Friday, Senate met as usual
Austin presented Il petition asking
permission for the Sergeant-at-Arms
to accompany the special tide land
commission on their trip.
Long spoke against the resolution,
stating that the tri p would already
cost the State great deal of money
and he did not see, also for many
other reasons, why the petition should
be granted. Answering Austin's argu-
ments why the petition should be
granted, the same Senator said If those
interested in tide lands wanted to be
heard, they could be heard in the
committee rooms at Olympia. The
resolution was lost by 4 vote OF Il to 9.
Long presented resolution that
each Senator be allowed 500 for
mileage during the trip, and to be al
lowed no other expenses. Adopted 10y
vote of Is to 4.
Kneeland asked that Parkinson be
substituted for him on the harbor line
commission during the trip.
The Lieutenant Governors bill was
taken up and passed with an emer-
gency clause.
A long discussion ensued on the
memorial to open to settlement the
Puyallup Indian reservation, Drum
claiming that it would be great ben
eft to the city of Tacoma, and that
the city would probably SOON cover a
portion OF it, ii the Indian title could
be extinguished. 1t was an obstruc-
ton to progress that should be re-
moved at once.
After several motions had been
voted down postpOning action, the
memorial was adopted by a vote of
% to 2.

The House sat from l 20 to 6 80 in
the afternoon of Friday, larger por
ton OF the time being devoted to the
butchering of Kinnear's antitrust bill
1t came from the committee with a
recommendation that it do not pass
Its opponents moved that the report
of the committee be adopted. Judson
of Pierce protested, as he wished to of
: fer an amendment, and this would
preclude amendments. The motion
to adopt the report was lost by vote
of IS to 26.
McReavy moved to strike out I'LL
reference to regulation of interstate
commerce.
Evans declared that the Federal
Constitution alone possessed the au
thoritv to regulate interstate com
merce.
Brown OF Spokane, intimated that
|; it was Doodle element which was Op
posing the bill, and that the people
wanted the provisions it contained.
Judson of Pierce, and Kuhn de
Tended the bill.
McReavy's motion prevailed, by d
vote of 80 to q.
, MOultray made an earnest appeal
, in behalf of the bill. He referred to
the fact that the lumber trust could
afford to pay a saw mill On Belling
ham Bay 81 900 per month to be idle
He said this mill had made more
money than any mill on Puget Sound
to the injury of the consumers of lum
Der.
Evans defended the bill. He moved
to amend by inserting the words to
the injury OF the public" at the end
of the antitrust clause. Friendly leg
islation to capitalists is the touchstone
of success for the State" he declared
with emphasis.
Herren thought such an amend
ment pertinent. The bill as original
ly drafted would interfere with all
combinations, whether to raise the
price OF product or lower it.
j The amendment prevailed by Il vote
of 3G to q.
Judson then moved that the clause
wLic, excluded farmers combining
from the provisions of this bill, be ex-
tended to include labor organizations
The motion was lost by vote of 1G
to A.
Ostrander then moved to insert 4
clause to this section providing that
such labor organizations are not inju-
rious to the public. Lost by vote Of
Al to ii.
HANDLE thought an amendment
should be included exempting insur-
ance companies. He thought it would
be the means of driving many insur.
ance companies from the State. The
bill would prevent the insurance com
