Salem, Ore, Jan. 26.-The regular
house temporary was called to order
this morning at $3.50 by Speaker Davis
After calling the roll the house ad-
journed until tomorrow.
At 10 a. m. 81 members answered
Benson's roll call and proceeded to
transact business in perfunctory
manner, the entire proceedings being
regarded as farce. Adjournment was
taken for lunch and an afternoon ses-
sion was held.
Morning and afternoon sessions were
also INDUCED in by the senate, but
that body persistently refuses to rec
ognize either faction of the assent bly,
There is no immediate hope that the
election of a United States senator
will be accomplished during the pres
ent session.

Against the Anti-Footban Bills.

Cambridge. Mass, Jan. 26-Several
Harvard football players said yester-
day in regard to the anti-football bills
introduced in Indiana and Nebraska
that it was their unanimous opinion
that such legislation could not but he
the work of cranks. A. NJ. Beale, the
quarterback, expressed his cOndemna-
ton of the proposed legislation as be-
ing senseless and practically Illegal
Mr.. Theo Eaton, Yale '93 in the Harv-
ard law schooI, questioned the right
of a legislature to prohibit football

strictions on the game or prohibit it
as it is played today.

against the citizens of Leadville and
the owners of the mines and in favor
of the strikers that it would be i'm
possible to expect or receive an impair
tial trial
Judge Overs some time ago agreed
TO leave the court and resign before the
cases were called for trial. but the
members of the unions caused him to
change his mind. 1t is probable that
the case will now be transferred by
the supreme court to another district.

originally proposed. Little or no OPP
position to the measure is manifested,
and that it will become a law is almost
certainty.

COLLAPSE OF THE COMBINE.

The Thatcher Henderson anti-Raw
Inns combine that was announced on
Monday as an accomplished fact was
hopelessly wrecked yesterday and the
intention to hold a joint caucus was
abandoned. 1t was explained that the
discrepancy between the vote of the
two Observation-Disclosures % and Hen
derson Twas an insurmountable OBJ
stacle TO any agreement acceptable to
both sides. The Henderson managers
protest that they took no part in and
gave no encouragement to this move
ment It is understood that three
Henderson votes were promised to
Thatcher yesterday, but they could not
be delivered and this may have been
one of the causes that defeated the
proposed ombination. 1t is known
that there was great confidence upon
the Thatcher side that their candidate
would be elected yesterday afternoon,
but their hopes were builded upon
pledges that were not fulfilled.
1t was reported that Mr.. Thatcher
called upon Judge Henderson yesterday
and that the two candidates held
consultation over the situation. Judge
Henderson admitted that there had
been such a meeting, but denied that
there was any discussion of senatorial
topics.

DARK HORSE CANDIDATES.

Many members are displaying an in
creasing interest in dark horse candi-
dates, but there is no probability that
any new names will be presented today
The fact that nearly all of the avail
able dark horses are tied UP by obi
cations to one or another of the three
candidates now in the field has kept
them out of the race thus far, and
none of them believe that the oppor-
tunity is quite ripe for the plucking.
No predictions or claims are made
as to changes in today's balloting. AS
one manager expresses it, no man can
tell a id thing about what is going
to happen tomorrow or any s-her day"
1t is known that the Thatcher people
have strong hopes of capturing Mr..
Calls. on the strength of kilograms
sent last night by the Park City con-
stituents of that member.
At Rawlins headquarters satisfaction
was expressed over the collapse OF the
Thatcher Henderson combine, a result
they had predicted. While the Raw
Inns vote was yesterday one below that
of the previous day, there was no act
ual loss. as one of the Rawlins voters
was absent. The loss of Senator Cham
bers was made good by the gain of
Representative Parry, and the actual
Rawlins strength remains at IS.

EFFECTIVE CLOTH GOWNS.
Late Imported Models Show striking
Modes in Trimming.

On cloth gowns for demi-dress wear
bI aiding in tan and gold is much en-
ployed and black and steel appear on
gowns of prelate purple and Danish
blue. Some of the gray wool gowns are
decorated with rows of black velvet or
gimp in dark shades of red, and it is
quite noticeable among the imported
models that the skirt and waist are so
trimmed that the effect is of garment
eut in one continuous length, the gimp
or velvet bands carried from shoulder
to corsage edge, and upon the dress
skirt just beneath this edge begins
similar band that is carried down the
skirt. Similar bands are added to the
skirt in broken lengths, and this is a
style to be particularly commended to
rather stout women, or those who are
short-waisted.
A very handsome tailor gown for gen.
eral wear is made of chestnut brown
broadcloth, ladies' cloth, or drap d'ete,

ever best suits the wearer-a Russian

nlso made of some Of the new delicately
bolored plaids; new plaided materials
are made up into smart costumes COM
b;ned with plum-colored, brown, or
dark green cloth. The plaid, as n rule,
is made up on the bias, but the skirts
of tartan materials are very generally
made up in circular form, and this is
mistake. The bias plaids may look bet
ter when thus cut, but bias fabric sags
at the sides after time, no matter how
carefully cut and put together, and O
circular shape only adds to the bad
effects of plaid thus manipulated
Not only are dark blue, purple and
plum-colored serges and cloths made
up into suits for knockabout wear, but
handsome walking and visiting dresses
are fashioned in these useful enduring
fabrics. 1t is only the way in which the
costume Is trimmed that renders it u
very simple gown for general wear or
changes it into an ornate and very
smart one, wholly proper and suitable
for almost any but full-dress occasions.
Machine stitching is all that is required
on the utility suit, but blouse front Of
cream-colored guipure, velvet revers,
standing collar and cuffs, and a silk
lining, will entirely transform this
identical suit into a rich looking, really
elegant costume.-St. Louis Globe
