WHO OWNED THE MONEY,

Charge of Grand Larceny Against Ex-
Pastor Kenneth Duncan Dismissed.
The charge of grand larceny against
Kenneth Duncan, the ex-pastor Of
Howard Presbyterian Church, was dis
missed by Judge Low yesterday morn
ing, says the San Francisco Call of Au-
gust oath.
The complaining witness was Mrs.
John Axtell, wife of the keeper of a
restaurant on Sixth street. Duncan
was employed in the restaurant for a
few days and Mrs. Axtell alleged that
he stole sS5. Duncan left the city and
went to San Jose, where he was ar
rested.
Mrs. Axtell was too i'll to appear in
court, but her husband went on the
witness stand and asked, for the sake
of charity, that the case be dismissed.
The money, he said, was his and he
was willing that the ex-pastor should
not be prosecuted, as he believed he
was insane and not responsible for his
actions
Detective O'Dea informed the Court
that Mrs. Axtell claimed that the mon
ey stolen belonged to her and she want
ed to prosecute the case. She had re-
quested him to ask for a postponement
of the case until she was able to ap-
pear in court.
The Judge expressed the opinion
that, in view of AXtelPs statement, he
could do nothing but dismiss the case,
although Mrs. AXtell could secure the
rearrest of Duncan if she so desired.
Attorney Maggie, who represented
Duncan, asked the Judge to surrender
him to the custody of the police, that
he might be examined as to his sanity,
but the Judge refused and suggested
that a warrant could be obtained from
any of the Superior Court Judges

DISCHARGED.
All Senate Clerks Must Go.
Hot Debate by the Senators on
Economy.

Senator Reed introduced S. r. No
y, stating that, whereas, the legisla
ture was not fully organized, that al
clerks be dispensed with. Gowan op
posed the resolution, and stated that
If he was obliged to get along with
out clerks there would be great fu.
neral of bills. Patterson favored the
resolution. Dufur favored the resolu.
tion, as there are only eight more
days of the session. He opposed stay
ing beyond 40 days on account of mi.
nority hold-up. He stated that he
did not believe there would be any le,
gitlmate legislation at this session.
He said he might, at no distant day,
move for the senate to adjourn sine
die.
Selling stated that he took second
place to no senator in the matter of
economy, and stated plainly that he
believed the threat to adjourn was
simply threat to the members who
declined to enter the so-called Joint
convention. He said he was willing
to remain in Salem six months if nee
essary to have legislation. He ad-
mitted that there were too many
clerks, and said he would dispense
with his clerks from today. He then
showed how the men VINO were advo-
eating this resolution as an economy
measure, had introduced some
of the most extravagant measures.
He moved to amend by reducing the
clerks to thirty. Reed retorted with
good effect. DR.. DRYER then gave a
good discourse against vindictiveness,
and also spoke against the extraYa-
CANT clerk hire. He has been here in
the partisan interest Of no man. He
had promised to do a certain thing
for one time and no more, and that
he would be willing to remain six
months if necessary to do that, and if
lie thought it would not become posi-
Die he would go home forthwith.
uMlchell opposed oratolical economy
and supported the amendment, and
spoke in favor of reducing salaries Of
OF county officials. He stated that he
believed the legislature twas held up
by one man, John H. Mitchell. He
was willing to remain here forever
before he would be whipped into line
for any one man.
Driver resented The imputation and
said he believed that it was the duty
of the legislature to organize first and
then vote, and not vote before organ
izing.
Michel; If the Benson house lis IA
legal body why does it not proceed to
business? ?
Brownell stated that he had always
favored the employment of clerks,
but that he now favored the resolu-
tion. He spoke Of Senator Selling as
being man Of wealth, but that he is
a poor man, and could not afford to

said he was not here for John
II. Mitchell or any other
man for senator. Senator Brow
nell then said that he had clerks
on his committees which had not been
Obliged to do particle of work.
Mulkey then arraigned the senator
from Clackamas for having lobbied
among the senators to get an assistant
door keeper. He then told how he
had been told that a senator would
be elected tomorrow, and that with
out his (Mulkey's) vote, hence he
thought they would need at least
thirty clerks.
Selling responded that when he had
INQUIRED of the senator from Clacka-
mas before the session as to the num-
Der ef clerks employed by the senate
two years ago, he was informed by
him that about 16O had been employed,
but that in reality it was less than
sixty. This Brownell explained.
Senator Reed then stated when he
came here he had supposed he knew
something about politics, but he now
gave it up. Some more sharp retorts
followed among the senators who had
previously offered economic measures.
Harmon offered an amendment to
the amendment by reducing the num-
ber of clerks to ten, one on the Judi
ciary, four on the enrolling and five
on the engrossing committee.
Patterson of Marion stated that he
was willing to remain here in the in
terest of the people until there is a
legal organization. He opposed the
retaining Of four clerks on the enroll
ment committee, in fact, all clerks.
Gowan said he would not stay, here
over 40 days unless the law required
him to.
Holt stated that he also had learned
something about politics. He came
here supposing that such questions as
this were to be considered by the en-
tire senate, but he had learned that
these matters are all taken care of by
a caucus. Therefore he feared that
he might, as a Populist, be out of
order.
After the two amendments were
lost McClung spoke in favor of the
Reed resolution, and made a
very plain statement of his position
on the question of economy. He stated
that in 1874, when he was member
the house, most iof the committees
had no clerks.
Carter spoke of his experience in
the legislature in 1882, stating that
there were very few clerks. But two
years ago he said that he had been
urged to have a clerk, and inasmuch
as fine young widow was recon-
mended for his committee, he finally
hired her, but dismissed her after a |
few days. Much applause.
All senators having voted aye on
the resolution, President Simon face |
tiously voted no.
The clerks are receiving certificates |
of Indebtedness from the secretary of |
state for the time from the date when |
they were sworn in.
