Senator Rosenhaupt's Bill Is Voted Or
Favorably In House.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. Ex-senator
Rosenhaupt's bill, senate bill No. 49,
passed by the senate and transmitted
to the house, provides for the estab-
lishment of a state commission for the
blind, appointed by the governor. serv-
ing without pay, and whose duties it
shall be to study the condition of the
blind of the state, particularly those
confined in the state school for the
blind. to make a study of the causes
of blindness. and recommend in an an
nual report to the governor such mat
tiers as may be of interest in the eff
fort to relieve the blind and to reduce
the prevalence of blindness.
The commission for the blind is the
suggestion of Mrs. J. G. Blalock of Spo-
kane and certain other women of the
state, who have been making a study
of the subject, with special reference
to the care the state has been and is
giving to the inmates of its state
school for these unfortunates operated
in connection with the state school for
TIE utdI ana uulnD at vancouver.
Their program included the eventual
removal of the blind from their pres
ent institution to another located in OF
near one of the larger cities. where
they may have the benefit of city ad-
vantages necessary in their participa-
ton is productive occupations.
The Rosenhaupt bill provides for a
voluntary commission of three mem
bers. working without pay, and appro-
PIRATES $1,000 for the payment of the in
cidental expenses of the work to be
undertaken. 1t has been represented
here in support of the measure that a
proper study of the subject and GER
tain Legislative safeguards will have
the effect of very materially reducing
the percentage of blindness in the state
and that a better care of blind children
under the state will result in vastly
better preparation for earning THEN
own livelihoods and participating in
useful occupations.

THEY WANl ROSS She WM UP
Legislature Determined on SEEING
Into His Work
LAND COMMISSIONERS ARE TREMBLING
HIS FRIENDS SEEK TO DELAY
THE TIME FOR THE LAND
INVESTIGATION.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. 12.-Sen-
ator KnickerbOcker, of King cOun-
ty, and those with him who de-
sire a thorough, searching and honest
investigation of the office of Land Com
missioner Ross, do not take kindly to
the house amendment to the probe
resolution, Ross friends in the lower
body succeeded in having tackled on
clause limiting the time practically to
March II and then for this Legislature
to say whether the investigation shall
proceed with their work or not after
that date.
When the resolution as amended is
taken up Wednesday in the senate,
Knickerbocker and others will vigor-
Ously insist that the investigation shall
not be hampered with time limita-
ton. The senators feel that it is
necessary to proceed slowly and eau
tiously. and without the aid of either
Ross or any of the office force.
1t is planned to send out two trusted
cruisers to go over the land Ross has
had cruised and is figured that these
will take at least two months. Then
there will be an expert accountant go
over the books and into the banks to
find whether the commissioner has had
unlawful dealing with certain financial
institutions as charged, both as to
money received officially and person
ally on land sales and to his deposit
ing state money irregularly and ex-
tremely tardy, causes of the suspicion
of his having personally been loaning
public monies at interest for his own
profit.
The investigation committee, when
appointed. will, the senators say, be
compelled to have several weeks to get
witnesses, to do certain amount of
detective work and to put plans in
operation of the half dozen lines of
inquiry on which investigation has
been urged. The committees will ask
for an appropriation Of $4,000 for ex-
penses.

Corbett II rounds to get in the knock
out blow.
That defeat has proved Terry's
death warrant. He realized at last he
was no longer at the top Of the heap.
He missed the adulation, the good
words and all that goes with the
championship. That was his life and
with it gone he took refuge in dissi-
patton.
Twice it looked like he was coming
back. First when he knocked out
Tommy Murphy, and again last year
when he had the best of a third bout
with Young Corbett. But Terry could
not stay good long. Death may not
come for years, but he will never fight
again.
During his years as fighter McGOv-
ern earned S203,200 and has spent
every cent of it.

ANTl.JAPANESE BILL KILLED.
Hutchinson Makes Rabid Speech In
Favor Of PASSING Measure,

OLYMPIA, Feb. 1.-THE fight in
the house over the Hutchinson anti
Japanese bill, resulted in the indefinite
postponement of the measure. The bill
sought to provide a tuition fee in the
public schools for children whose par
ents have not declared their intention
of becoming citizens. Hutchinson
stated that the intent of the bill was to
prohibit Japanese from the public
schools and made rabid speech in
favor of it's passage.
Jackson, King county, argued against
the bill, pointing out the strained rela-
tions now existing between Japan and
the United States by reason of the con-
troversy in California. He said 1t would
be against public policy for Washing
ton to aid in the bad feeling.

| NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Feb. ~
Rev. Lester Gerard Leggett, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church O
this city, the Oldest congregation IL
the state, has in way filled long
felt need for competent soloists fol
his church by installing phonograpf
and giving his congregation the bes
talent in the world in sacred songs
So popular has the innovation become
that there is a demand that the cor
gregational singing be done away witt
at the morning service as it has beer
in the evening services, which are nov
largely song recitals.
Incidentally the sale of phono
graphs for home use in this com
munity has received a boost that was
not dreamed of two months ago, ani
so popular has the Presbyterian
church become that other pastors are
considering installing the Canned
music" to save their pews from be
ng absolutely deserted by the young
folks.
Other Churches Follow.
Rev. Mr.. Leggett came here three
years ago from Albany, N. Y, but
found the soloist and choir problem
here awaiting him. Nebraska City
seems to be short on singers, and for
years the wealthy Presbyterian con.
gregation has been trying to secure
suitable music by bringing singers
here from Omaha and other towns
that had them to spare for the price,
but the arrangement was never sat
isfactOry The Music Committee
could never be certain of their pro-
game until the train arrived, and
rehearsals with the local choir were
always "out of joint or did not take
place at all, and ultimately resulted
in some misunderstanding that marred
the feature of the service.
Concealed First Night.
The first night the monograph was
used it was concealed. Only a few
in the congregation knew in what
manner the music of the evening was
to be furnished. When the voice of
Richard Jose, the famous tenor, en-
anated from the place where the
monograph was hidden wonderment
spread over the countenance of every
member of the congregation. Follow
ing this, some of the songs that are
sung by Trinity Church choir, of New
York, were reproduced with greater
effect.
While the photograph was repro
ducing the songs the Rev. Mr.. Leg
gett sat quietly in his accustomed
place. He says:
Il studied the facial expression of
every member in that organization.
Of course, l knew that some of them
would be pleased with the phono.
graph, but l wanted to be sure that it
would be welcomed by every one
When the service was concluded
believe every man, woman and child
would have been willing to spend
another half hour in the church to
have some of the songs repeated"

wish to point briefly to presidents
from these two great commonwealths,
to those men of Ohio and New York
who planted still higher the standard
that had been upheld by those noble
Americans In the succession from
Washington to Lincoln.
Almost forty years ago, a native Of
Ohio, General Ulysses S. Grant be-
came President OF the United States.
Two days hence the state officers and
others from different parts of Ohio
will participate In. the dedication of a
tablet that is to mark the birthplace
of the hero Of the Civil War in Cler-
mont county, Ohio. General Grants
last residence was in New York and
his tomb there will forever be the
mecca of the metropolis.
Ever since the Inauguration Of
Grant the destinies of this nation
have been In the hands Of rulers from
one or the other OF the great states OF
Ohio or New York. The administra-
tions OF Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ar
thuit NioNoiuuut I1uitiSOut mChiuity
and Roosevelt cover one-third OF the
period OF our history as a nation.
or the eight presidents In that per-
iod FIVE were natives OF Ohio, and
they had all been soldiers in the Civil
War. They were the only Civil War
veterans who reached the presidency.
The last in that eminent line Of Union
soldiers to be honored with the high
cst Office In the gift Of the people was
Mckinley, one OF the purest and
noblest Americans OF them all. Nc
Klnley had been a pupil Of Grant,
Hayes, Garfield and Harrison In war
and in peace, and he added fresh
laurels. to the crowns of his elder
comrades.
In the alienation between Ohio and
New York during the past four de-
cades, none have contributed more to
the honor and the glory OF their coun-
try. to the prosperity and welfare OF
OF the people than the last two in tho
presidential succession. It Is there
fore emlnently fitting that the great
defender OF popular rights, who took
up tho work, when Mckinley was
stopped by the hand OF the assassin,
should be the one on this sacred occa-
sion to speak of the life and services
OF the martyred president.

Governor Harris, after being intro
duced as president of the day, and
after the Invocation had been asked,
spoke briefly of the day and William
McKinley's life before Justice Days
address:
| thank you, Mr., Justice Day, and
your associates of the Mckinley Ma
tional Memorial Association for the
very great honor that you have con-
ferred on me in inviting me to pre-
side over the exercises of this memoir
able dedication. II Is indeed an honor
to present at any time to any audi
ence the President OF the United
States. But on this occasion when we
are assembled to reverence the men,
ory Of another President OF the United
States, one who had long been an Idol
OF our state before he became prest-
dent, II Is impossible for me to glvo
due expression to my appreciation OF
such manifold honor at your hands.
It Is a distinction worthy OF any
ambition to have been preceded on
the program OF this day by one of the
most eminent jurists of the highest
court on earth and by one of the men
in whom the lamented Mckinley had
the most unbounded confidence. Added
to that most honorable association Is
that which follows in the course of
these historic exercises in being called
upon to present to you the worthy
successor Of our beloved Mckinley.
It was my fortune to have been as
ISOLATED with Mckinley in state af-
fairs az II was that of Justice Day as
neighbor, OF President Roosevelt in
national affairs, and of other members
OF the Mckinley Memorial Association
in other capacities. All who knew him
loved and admired him. He was
worthy OF tfe'r fullest confidence aoi
equal to any emergency In either pri-
yate or public life.
| am not here 70 speak OF him as a
devoted husband, q sincere Christian,
n faithful student, a loyal citizen, a
brave soldier. true gentleman. or a
comprehensive statesman. That Is
the mission OF one who is worthy OF
the great subject and equal to II In all
that can be said of William Mckinley.
As We are to hear from one OF the
most distinguished sons OF New York
about our illustrious son OF Ohio, l
