DUNBAR NOT BLAMED.
Lack Of Printing Supply Costs State
Five Thousand Dollars.

SALEM, Or, Jan. 16.--Because there
We're no printed supplies, the House
adjourned to Monday at noon today.
The legislature has lost a day and a
half already for the same reason. Thus
the first week of the legislature will
have wasted four and half days. or
about $4,000, because the secretary of
state did not order the necessary sup
plies before the session convened. The
printer has worked his forces twenty
four hours day since Monday, but a
great mas Of supplies could not be
printed In day.
House members are stirred up over
the delay, but the animus Is not
against Dunbar, whose request this

Body Guard Of heney May Have
Been Poisoned Because
Of Position.
AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATE
Supposed to Have Died Of Menins tits,
But Symptoms Are Declared to be
Rather Those OF Person Who
Had Been Poisoned.

PORTLAND, Jan. i6.-Circum-
stances that have developed since the
death In San Francisco last Friday Of
Oscar J. Kendall, body guard to AS
sistant United States Attorney Gem
eral Francis J. Heney, have given rise
10 strong suspicious In the minds Of
the family and friends OF the deceased
that he did not die natural death,
as was supposed. but that he was the
victim OF foul play. Conditions Dis
closed through an autopsy performed
in this city lead the operating physi-
clan TO suspect that, instead OF dying
from the effects Of cerebro-s spinal
meningitis. Mr.. Kendall was killed by
poisoning.
Investigation has disclosed the fact
that the symptoms manifested by the
patient during his brief Hines, instead
Of being those OF meningitis, were
those of poisoning. and all the infor-
nation which has thus far been Sc
cured points so strongly to foul play
that thorough investigation has been
started by the authorities, who are
determined to run the matter to the
ground and in some way or other clear
up the suspicious circumstances.
which have come to light.
The most suspicious of these cir
cumstances was furnished through the
discovery after the arrival Of the body
in this city that every vital organ in
II had been removed and newspapers
stuffed In their place. Where, when
and for what purpose these organs
were removed constitute the mystery
which has aroused the family, friends
and authorities to determined action.

NEW DRASTIC BILL.
Provides Equal and Adequate Service
From Public Service Corporations.

SALEM, Or, Jan. 16.-Campbell of
Clackamas introduced bill on pub
lie service corporations of a sweeping
character. The bill applies to tele-
phone, telegraph, railroad, gas, pow
er, steamer, electric light and express
companies, and defines the duties Of
officers with remedies and penalties
for abuse of power or failure in duty.
1t provides equal and sufficient service
from all corporations to all patrons on
due notice. The rates for service are
not to return more than 2 per cent
annually above the legal interest paid
on actual capital invested. The cap
ital invested Is not to be held more
than third above the assessed valu-
alton.
If the corporation is guilty of not
giving equal service, the officers are
to be fined, the persons prosecuting
to receive ten times the amount Of
damages sustained by the failure. The
most important provision Is the giving
attorney general power to proceed to
take away the franchises Of any cor
poration convicted of three violations
in year. He is to get judgment and
sell the property for the amount of
invested capital or less. The old Of
ficers are not to have charge of the
offending corporation for five years.
The bill finally provides that the state
can revoke any lease between a cor
poration and sub corporation.

CUTS OWN BILL.
State Printer Duniway Departs From
Usual Custom Of Employees.

SALEM, Or, Jan. 16.--The House
session opened this morning with the
calendar fight. State Printer Duniway
spoke IN favor of new form OF daily
calendar, and said:
II think this Is the first time an
Oregon state printer ever asked the
legislature to cut $4,000 from his
yearly salary; but l want you to do
it. If you adopt the form | advise,
the calendar will cost $500, instead
Of $4,000, for the session."
Jackson of Douglas and Speaker
Davey favored the measure, and the
House applauded Duniway, and at the
close suspended the rules twice and
passed the simplihed calendar form.
Later Jones Of Lincoln attempted to
have bill passed doing away with
calendars entirely, but the resolution
came too late.

A feature of today's debate was the

President as leader OF the party. Car
mack asserted the President had
done enough to alarm any friend Of
the constitution but with all that. he
has had the enthusiastic support of
all the senators on the Republican
side.
He declared 1t was through |
the better acts of this ad-
istration that the President has
aroused such deadly antagonism with
in his own party. He might have con-
tinued to trample on the law to the
end of them, and there would have |
been no voice Of protest, II he had not
otherwise offended. The President has
made the mistake of compelling his
party to break with Its old time
friends and to turn Its guns upon Its
allies Of a hundred battles; he has
brought the great railways and trusts
to know that there are such things as
government. His party leaders have
yielded snarllng and reluctant half

and opportunity to strike"

LONDON, Jan. 16.-Brief dispatches
received here tonight, including some
from Kingston direct, declaring one
hundred persons had been killed by
the earthquake Monday, leave the
country apparently to renewed sus-
pense as to the fate of Jamaica's cap
ital. Earlier reports had tended to
minimize the worst features Of the
first messages received, and although
there Is disinclinauon to credit larg-
er estimates, the relief felt this af-
ternoon has given place to despon-
denc yat the possibility that the worst
fears will be realized when authentic
accounts of the disaster come to hand.
Great satisfaction is felt here at the
action of the American government
in taking prompt steps to investigate
the real situation and afford necessary
succor to the stricken city. Relief is
also felt at the safety Of Sir Alfred
Jones and his party. UP to late
hour, the colonial office had no fur
ther news to give out. At the time Of
writing this dispatch, however, a dis
patch was received from Sir Alfred
addressed to Elder Demster & Com
pany, confirming the worst fears. Sir
Alfred says Kingston was overwhelmed
by earthquake Monday. All the houses
within a radius of ten miles were de-
stroyed. Fire broke out after the
earthquake and completed the destruc-
ton. 1t is estimated that one hun
dred persons were killed and one thou
sand were injured. Public hospitals
and offices and hospitals are in ruins.
Among the killed were Sir James Fer
guson, many prominent merchants and
many natives. No fatalities occurred
at Constant Springs Hotel.
Sir Alfred's message is practically
identical with other messages from
Kingston including one from the cor
respondent of the Standard, who is
with the Jones party. With this ex-
ception: All others give the death list
as several hundred, while a dispatch
received by the West India Gable Co.

ST. THOMAS, D. w. l., Jan. 16.-
A report received here from Jamaica
says it is estimated that one thou
sand persons were killed by the earth
quake and fire, and ninety thousand
are homeless. The damage to King
ston alone Is placed at fully $10,00O,-
900. Advices state that all persons
have been warned to keep away from
Kingston. The stencil is describe2
as something awful. Money is use
less. Banks have been burned, but
the vaults are supposed to be safe.
The misery on all sides is indescrib-
able. Provisions of all kinds are ur-
gently needed. It Is impossible to
say where anybody can be found. Sir

the killed. The dead are being
