WASHINGTON IS CHEATED
Out of Her Dispensary Law by Sharp
Work of Whisky Men.

Olympia, Wn., Feb. 27.-The Opposi-
ton to the Kline dispensary bill are re-
joicing over what they term the defeat
of that measure without the senate be-
ing aware of what was taking place
Before the report of the public NOR
ais committee was made in the senate,
as agreed to by which a majority was
to recommend indefinite pOstponement
and Chairman Van Patton was to offer
q, minority report favoring the passage
of the bill, Plummer, representing the
opponents of the measure, met Van
Patton and prevailed upon him to COM
promise with the majority of the COM
mittee by submitting a report providing
for substitute bill recommending the
submission of a dispensary law to the
people to be voted upon at the next gen
eral election.
Whenthis was agreed to, all members
of the committee signed the new report
and it was presented to the senate. AS
a substitute bill was not ready, Plum
mer offered a motion that the Kline bill
be laid on the table until a substitute
bill was prepared. The motion was
adopted without opposition and the bill
went to the table.
Friends of the Kline bill were SUR
prised to find later that it was all a pre-
concerted plan and that an effort will
now be made to prevent the bill from
being taken from the table for consider
alton.

diately upon his arrival and was in
conference with Republican senator's
He had an extended consultation with
Senator Hoar. chairman of the judic-
larry committee and who is well inform
ed regarding senatorial elections upon
the Situa ton in Oregon.
An effort is being made by Mr.. Han
ma, as chairman of the national COM
mittee to secure the election of Re
publican senator in Oregon. The fact
that the legislature has never organic
ed raises the question as to the ability
of those now sitting at Salem to adj
jouFn. There has been considerable
telegra phic correspondence between
Mr. Hanna and Republicans in Oregon
and it may result in an appointment by
the governor.
Mr.. Hoar indicated to Mr.. Hanna his
belief that an appointment by the gov
ernor would not be accepted by the
senate.

lions the bill will be killed 1t is likely
