who met IN joint session in representative
hail this afternoon TO honor the memory
OF the nations first president.

The legislature transacted no business

memory Of the father of his country. In
addition to speeches by the chief Justice
OF the supreme court and the governor Of
the state. Representative Dan Nettleton,
Senator Frank Ransom and Senator George
wiltse made short though impressive talks.
Each drew from the life of washington

a greater patriotism, a deeper love for
country. Together they told the story of
the great obstacles Washington overcame

"a government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people" They told how,
though born an aristocrst OF wealthy par
ents, he cast his lot with the poor, strug-
patriots who sought to free themselves
from the yoke of taxation without repre-
sentation. Washington had no incentive
TO cause him 10 take the course he did
other than choice between right and
wrong.

did IN my opinion" said Senator Wiltse,
''was when be was called before the con-

that is all You will have to pay"

unconscious yesterday in Lincoln
Park, at the foot of Wisconsin street.
On the way to the hospital the girl
recovered consciousness long enough
to murmur that her name was Hazel
Robinson, and that she was 20 years
old.
Later, when she again recovered
consciousness for a few minutes at
the Columbia Memorial Hospital, the
girl told a different story. There she
said her name was Helen Dillon, and
that her father was an official of the
Oregon Short Line. She also de-
clared that her mother lived in Hol-
land, Mich, and that her father made
his headquarters at Glenns Ferry,
Idaho. The young woman declared
that she had escaped from a convent,
and had injured herself when she
had jumped from moving train.

GETS TEN
DAYS FOR
CUSSING

AS a debt to the city of Salem for
disturbing the peace and quietness,
M. Mcclellan, a logger, was SEN
fenced to ten days in jail this morn
ing by Judge Moores in the police
court. Mcclellan, while in an intoxi-
Gated condition, went into the Ye
Liberty theater, on Liberty street,
last night with another man, and.
after sitting there and watching the
moving pictures with blurred eyes for
a short time, proceeded to address
his partner in language of the most
disgusting character.
After making himself obnoxious
for a few minutes the police were
notified, and the disturber was
thrown in the city lookup. When he
appeared before Judge Moores this
morning, he could not remember Just
what occurred, and turned pale when
the judge pronounced his sentence
Before giving the man his sentence
Judge Moores administered a severe
rebuke to Mcclellan for his actions,
and, had it not been for the fact that
Mcclellan was guilty of his first Of
fense in this city, the extreme limit
of the law would have been imposed
in the case. However, Mcclellan will
have an opportunity of sizing up the
city woodpile in the next ten days
and becoming acquainted with the
industrial end of the establishment
Manager Waters, of the Ye Liber-
ty, appeared this morning in the in
terest of the play house, but the
charge preferred against Mcclellan
was sufficient punishment. Mr..
Waters was out of the city yesterday,
and regrets very much that such an
unfortunate incident occurred, and
said: 81 absolutely will not stand
for any roughness in my theater, and
am willing to prosecute any man to
the limit who raises a disturbance.
We do not permit drunken persons
to enter our theater, but this fellow
evidently was presumed to be sober
until he sat down, and then comfort
and warmth had its effect.
