TUESDAY,. January lS.

Salem, Jan. 19.-When President
Bower man at noon announced that the
time had arrived to ballot for United
States senator every inch of standing
room in the chamber was taken. Prom
inent citizens from all over the state
were seated by the side of members
or sandwiched in the crowd outside the
when the voting began, broken by ap-
plause when Senator Abraham, first on
the roll, cast his vote for Chamberlain.
There was also scattering applause
when the first vote was cast for Fulton,
by Beach. But the greatest enthusi-
asm was reached when Senators Kay
and Selling closed vigorous remarks
with votes for Chamberla n.
His seating in the United States
senate will be contested on the ground
that he received but 20 free votes in
the house, or two short of a majority.
His five additional votes in the house
were cast for him by Republicans un-
der protest, who declared that they
were constrained to do so by their
Statement No. pledge, and that they
were not exercising their constitution
al free choice.
Those who voted for Chamberlain
and placed their protests in the journal
are: Senate--Schofield of Clatsop and
Johnson of Benton; Barrett of Wash
ington did the same, but his protest by
some oversight is omitted. House

President Bowerman announced the
senate committees today and every
member, except one, gets a chairman
ship. This one was overlooked by an
error. In the senate bills were intro
duced

for sale of estrays after two months;

executor or administrator requiring
that title guarantee corporations have
a paid up capital of 500, 900, of which

Creating board of control; death pun
for highway robbery; regulat-
ing sale of small firearms; repeating
instruction" amendment relating to
