OLYMPIA, Jan. 26.-The state
railroad commission, that is the
two members left on the board,
we're put in a close corner yester-
lay by Senator Paulhamus at the
legislative inquiry,
Commissioners Fairchild and
Lawrence were up for investigation.
Tairchild is recognized as Cover
nor Mead's personal representa-
tive. Speaking for the senate COM
mittee Paulhamus stated that he
was unable to see how McMillin,
the deposed commissioner, had
earned his salary, and proposed
that McMillin be required to refund
all the pay he had drawn from the
state since June. The investiga
tion has failed to disclose any in
stance wherein McMillin has rem
dered any real service to the state
Paulhamus put the question of
whether McMllin had earned his
pay direct to Commissioner Law
renee. Lawrence took refuge be-
hind the plea that he could not an
swer the question in the presence
of newspaper men. The latter were
sent out and then Lawrence pleaded
that he be excused from answering
except in McMillin's presence. On
Fairchilds promise to have Nc
Millin present Monday the commit
tee postponed further investiga-
ton until that day.
The evident intention of Cover
nor Mead to delay appointing a sue
cessor to McMillin until after the
legislature adjourns has aroused a
great deal of criticism among rail
road commission advocates. Speak
ing for the supporters of an effec-
tive railroad commission Senator's
Boone and Paulhamus yesterday
served notice on the governor
through Fairchild that the legisla-
ture would stand for nothing but
the appointment of a man they had
confidence in.
Governor Mead yesterday refused
to set any definite time for making
the appointment. He intimated
that there is no hurry and that
he would select new commission
Nv bn rpa6I.
If the governor maintains this at
titude, however, it is believed the
legislature will pass an act making
the railroad commission elective,
which will remove it from the gov
ernor's hands.

since been able to sell in this
territory. :
The hearing closed with the testi--
mony OF r. B. Miller, general
freight agent of the Hartman
lines at Portland. Attorney Sever
ance, appearing for the govern
ment, declared that Miller's admis-
sions established all he wanted to-
prove and no more witnesses were
necessary.
Miller admitted that the traffic
arrangements for the Union, the
Southern Pacific and o. r. & N.
were in the same hands, but he
claimed there is still competition.
He could point out the competition
in any particular instance.
Commissioner Lane will continue
the investigation in San Francisco.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 26.-Sena-
tor Mclean has introduced an anti
gambling bill. Colonel Marshall
gave notice in the house of the in
PRODUCTION Of bill having for it's
object the prevention of pool sell
ing except at regularly organized
race tracks conducted by fair asso-
Citations, after a license had been
secured from the state auditor.
Both measures are sever in their
terms, and the sporting element Of
the state has been given something
to talk about.
McLean's bill is aimed at all
known gambling games, including
slot machines. Owners of property
in which games are run are made
equally liable, the punishment be-
ing a fine Of from 500 to $1,000 for
the first offense and minimum fine
of $500 for the second offense, the
convicted person to remain in jail
until the fine is paid.
Running a brace" game consti-
tutes a felony.
1t is made the duty of public
officers to confiscate gambling para
phernalia, to be held as evidence
and later to be destroyed.
Owners of gambling establish
ments are liable for civil actions
for money lost by patrons.
Failure on the part of the sheriff,
county attorney, mayor, chief of po-
lice or town officer to enforce the
law constitutes a misdemeanor and
upon conviction the derelict official
cannot only be fined, but removed
from office. Conviction of any
officer for accepting money from
gamblers constitutes felony.

ing and crying by turns. He insist
ed that the girl with whom he
danced had bewitched him.
He went into the open air and
after a time the spell wore off.
Later, unable to resist her fascina-
tions, he danced with the witch
again.
This time the spell did not wear
off until someone went to the Jar
bens farm and quoted scripture. 1t
relieved the boy for time but the
spells have returned at intervals.
The boy finally had to be sent to
another part of the state and since
then other members of the family
have been attacked. All sorts of
accidents have visited the mem
bers of the family and the Jarbens
want the witch put to death or re-
moved from the community.
