Marks
the OPENING
SESSION
SOME OF THE SOLONS STIR
RED TO FIGHTING POINT
DISSENSION ADDS TO Al
READY BITTER FEELING.

OLYMPIA, Wash, June "a
The opening meeting Of the ex-
traordinary session Of the legisla-
ture helped only to drive the war
ring elements farther apart.
In the house the administration
forces turned a trick which they
afterward had occasion to regret
by trying to defeat the reorganiza-
tion of the house on technicality.
The action was successful for a
time, but raised such storm that
for a time it appeared that a riot
might ensue on the floor. 1t was
caused by Speaker Meigs calling
Bell of Pierce to the chair, and
Bel held that a reorganization Of
the house was not necessary.
Instead of appealing from the
chair, as had been done in the
senate under similar circum-
stances a few minutes before, the
house members forgot all about
parliamentary procedure and went
a. IL nduluucI anu tOuSS.
Bell, Meigs and the administra-
ton party was roasted to finish,
and when it appeared that per-
sonal encounters were about to
ensue on the floor, the Slayden
men, In the interest of peace, eff
fected compromise with the
Meigs forces by having Meigs ten
der his resignation and take his
chances before the house. In the
vote to accept the resignation AZ
upheld Meigs and IS voted to let
him out, which ended the contro-
versy, but only added fuel to the
flames Of bitter feeling.
In the upper house Senator
Hutchinson, leader of the opposi-
ton to Speaker Ruth, offered q
motion that the senate reorganize.
Ruth called Booth of King to the
chair, who declared Hutchinson s
motion out of order, and an appeal
to the senate was taken. Ruth
was sustained as the presiding Off
Ger by vote of 81 to 10. this
being practically the old wet and
dry" line up at the regular ses.
sion. Senator Allen of the vets
voted for reorganization, and Sen
ator Cottrill of the drys voted with
the Ruth men.
After eharing the special mes
sage of Governor Hay read in joint
session, both houses adjourned un.
til this morning, In his message.
the governor demands the i'm
parchment of ]. II. Shiveyl, state
insurance commissioner, and asks
that the legislative committee be
continued, and funds provided for
a complete investigation of all
state Offices.
With the governors message
was presented the report of the
legislative investigating commit
tee. which recites numerous In.
stances of extortionate charges
against insurance companies by
Schively and Sam Nichols, former
secretary of state. Among other
things brought out against Schive-
ly was his connection with the Pa
cific Live Stock association of Spo-
kane, Of which he was manager
and director while insurance COM
missioner. and from which he Is
alleged to have collected excessive
and exorbitant fees. The commit
tee makes no recommendations as
to Schively. but asks to be per-
mitted to carry Its investigation to
q finish.

Gross attempted to hail the saloon
keeper before Judge IRELAND on the
charge of drunkenness, but the LIQUOR

fused to accompany the constable de-
spite the latter's strenuous use of the
club. He agreed, however, to accom-

a crowd had gathered. which threw
its sympathy to the saloonkeeper. and
consequently 5eered and hooted the

TRAFFIC
DELAYED YESTERDAY
Hundreds Of People Be
tween East Chicago and
Harbor DISCONNECTED.

Last Chicago, March 30.-Hundrads
OF persons in Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago were Inconvenience yesterday
by the completed suspension of traffic
between these points by the interurban
railway, caused by the derailing Of a
car at the switch at Harbor Junction.
The car ran of the track at 1895 a
m and it was exactly FIVE minutes of
three in the afternoon before it was
replaced and East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor once more got into communica-
ton with each other
IN the meantime "a few Of the i'll
fated passengers and others who took
the Gary car to the junction under the
impression that while there was moth

East Chicago, cards We're operating be-
tween the former and the Harbor,
"hoofed" it from the half way station.
Or made the journey from this point
to the Harbor, aboard some brewery
wagon which happened along.
Otherwise the towns were as COM
pletely isolated from each other as
though one had been In the great
American desert and the other in Sa-
hara.
Some took the suspension of traffic
philosoDhically. as one of the ills the
twin cities are necessarily heir to. while
others cussed the company, and still
others cracked jokes at the company's
expense and hooted at the pitiable
efforts that We're made to get the car
