Judge Galloway this afternoon is
listening to argument of attorneys in
the case of George w Joseph, direct
primary candidate on the Republican
ticket for senator from Multnomah
county, against Secretary of State
Benson, and State Printer Duniway
in which he seeks to have an injunc-
tion issued to restrain the secretary
of state and state printer from pub
fishing in the publicity pamphlet the
argument filed by the State Republi-
can Central Committee in favor of
the Republican assembly candidates.
The suit is based on the ground
that the action of the state central
committee and its officials is in viola
tion of the election law of the state,
is misleading to the voters of the
state, is conspiracy entered into be-
tween the officers of the state central
committee, is unfair to other candi-
dates, not so indorsed, and would,
through misrepresentation, work In
jury to all Republican candidates
throughout the state not so indorsed
by the state central committee.
Secretary OF State Benson is rep
resented by Attorney General Craw-
ford, and John A. Carson, who con-
tend that to begin with the question
is one which is purely Of political
character-one that must be settled
by the people, and over which the
courts have and can exercise no
jurisdiction. They further contend
that In the event that this is not so,
that under the law the committee
would have a right to file arguments
in favor of any of the Republican
candidates 1T saw fit, and that in
selecting upon the assembly candi-
dates its action was perfectly legal.
Mr.. Joseph is represented by
Judge McGinn, Of Portland and w. s. |
U'Ren Of Oregon City and the argu-
ment will probably last far into the
Afternoon. AS the state printer has
only so much time in which TO print
the pamphlet 1t would be useless to
prosecute an appeal TO the supreme
court. and Judge Galloway's decision
which ever way 1t may go, will be

DRUNKEN LEGISLATORS.
New Jersey SoIons Finish Annual
Meeting With Carousal.

Meeting with CdTouSal.
Trenton, y. j., April Prom near
| ly every pulpit in Trenton and other
cities and towns in New Jersey there
| broke on Sunday storm of denuncia-
tion of the astounding drunken orgy
that marked the closing session of the
lower house of the 134th legislature of
the state.
Clergymen of Trenton, headed by
the Rev. George w. Ridout of the
Methodist church, director of the Anti
Saloon League of New Jersey; the
Rev. Hugh B. MacCauley of the Pres
lin, the Rev. J. X. Manning, the Rev.
II. Collins Minton and the Rev. Hamil-
ton Schuyler are organizing to demand
that Governor Fort call an extra SEES
sion of the Legislature to investigate
what the governor himself described
as IAN affair that is disgrace to the
state"
1t is said that the governor is Sc
riously considering the calling of an
extra session.
The closing session of the 134th leg
islature lasted all night, and ended lit
orally lin the cold, gray dawn of the
morning after"
If some of the legislators feel no
remorse for their part in the scenes en-
acted in the capitol their consciences
will be awakened by the preachers of
Trenton.
1t was a most important session;
subject under consideration was the
states water supply. Governor Fort
passed the night pleading, fighting for
a bill prohibiting the diversion of the
subsurface waters of the state to New
York and other territory.
Many of the Legislators were infin-
itely more interested in the supply of
champagne. "Fizz" and grape juice"
some from the applejack districts
called it with attempted familiarity.
Surely it was not the discussion about
water that filled the galleries of the
legislative halls with women at mid.
night. Many of these women are
known here. Some, it must be said,
are known to the police. Sitting in the
galleries they pointed out this and that
legislator and called each by his first
name. When two or three lawmakers
fell asleep women in the galleries pelt.

output Of the best grade of Elgin but.
ter was shipped to New York.
The Elgin officials let out this sec.
ret in the course of an examination
into the mystery of fixing the price of
butter Messrs. Newman and Wood
maintained that the Elgin board fol.
lowed quotations daily. admitting.
however, that the guiding principle
was to put the price as high as the
market would stand.
What is known as Elgin creamery

all goes to the New York market. |
don't know any manufacturer who has
shipped any of this grade of butter
to Chicago in the last eight or ten
years. The butter that goes to Chi.
cago is what we call commercial ex-
ira and is inferior in quality to the
Elgin creamery grade"
Mr.. Wood stated that about 100
members of the Elgin butter board
were Chicago dealers.
Mechanics and laborers were eat
ing higher grade of butter. Mr. New.
man said, which, taken with the in
creased price of corn, hay, and oats,
accounted for the advance in the price
of good butter.
Explaining the remarkable six cent
drop in Elgin price from Monday to
Monday last January, Mr.. Newman
said it was made to make the Elgin
price conform with the New York
price, which had been gradually de-
creasing during the week. Mr.. New
man said a great quantity of butter
was held up by snowstorms on the
way to market during that week and
when it finally reached it's destina.

the price took natural tumble.

Norfolk Aroused.

Not in years has Norfolk been
aroused more intensely than it is to-
day over the failure of the Northwest
service to which the town is entitled.
Each day adds to the widespread feel
ing among Norfolk citizens that the
city is being mistreated at the hands
Of that railroad, and that this is the
psychological time for improvement
now when there are no adequate de-
pot facilities at the Junction.
The Railroads Attitude.
The railroads attitude seems to be
this:
Thinning trains uptown might be
all right for Norfolk, but what good
would it do the railroad?"
2.-"NOrfolk people should have
thought about this forty years ago,
when the F., +. & M. V. asked bonds
to induce it to build uptown"
And to each of these arguments on
the part of the Northwestern, Norfolk
can reply with sound logic. AS a mat.
ter of fact, the situation leaves the
Northwestern without any reasonable
excuse for refusing to treat Norfolk
better than it does.
NorfoIk's Good Will Worth Dollars.
Norfolk can offer abundant answer
to the first point. The city can prove
to the Northwestern that the railroad
will benefit in dollars and cents by
treating Norfolk as it ought to be
treated.
The railroads query as to what
good it will do the Northwestern to
run trains up town, is based entirely
upon the theory that railroads are
run for the sole benefit of the stock.

is healthy belief abroad in the land
at the present moment that railroads,
as public service corporations draw.
ing their profits from privileges grant.
ed them by the public, owe some con-
sideration to the public at large and
to the communities in which they de.
rive their profits. But leaving that
phase OF the question out of the argu.

News: The agitation or campaign

western railroad is attracting cOnsid-
cradle attention throughout the fan
shaped territory exploited by this
transportation company. Not only the
people of Norfolk but the travelling
public who are paying a heavy toll for
the inadequate service they are get

the Indifference exhibited on passenger
accommodations at the railroad me-
tropOlis of northern Nebraska.
When trains are several hours late
the Northwestern depot has the
appearance of a crowded vessel drift
ing out to sea- as there is no one about
to inform the anxious and weary pas
sengers when they will get started on
their journey. Our very best sociol-
ogists seem to think that there are
perilous days in store for the public
service corporations and when we read
the bistering words of Senator Bev-
eridge in his address to the republican
state convention of Indiana, and then
read that metropolitan city like Mil

HUGHES APPEALS FOR PURITY.
New York Governor Sends Special
Message to the Legislature.

Albany, n. Y, April 12.-Declarng
that the recent revelations in the
Allds-Conger bribery inquiry and the
facts brought out in the investigation
By Superintendent of Insurance Hotch-
kiss have caused every honest citizen
to Jingle with shame and Indignation
and made irresistible the demand that
every proper means should be employ
ed to purify" Governor Hughes sent
a special message to the legislature
tial, thorough and unsparing investiga-
ton into legislative practices and pro-
cedure and into the use of corrupt or
improper means for the promotion or
defeat of legislation.
Accompanying the message was the
preliminary report of Superintendent
Hotchkiss outlying the developments
of the fire insurance investigation in
New YORK and setting forth the diff
culties involved in following up the
star leads which have been UNI
covered.
The superintendent says that OBJ
stacles apparently insuperable have
been developed in the course of the
inquiry. These, in his Judgment, need
further investigation but he had no
power to pursue them, and therefore
he has laid the facts thus far develop
ed before the governor for action.

Falls Off the Library.

The first accident since the begin.
ming of construction on the Carnegie
library occurred yesterday afternoon
when a carpenter named Johns of
Scribner fell from the roof as the re.
suit of stepping on a loose shingle
He was badly bruised about the face
and it is probable that his chest was
badly injured.
Johns was walking along the gutter
on the west end of the roof of the
building with an armful of shingles
when he slipped on a piece of single
and fell thirty-two feet below on top
of some soft dirt. He got up and
walked short distance but fell down
again. Other workmen picked him up
and cab was called and he was con-
veyed to his rooming house.
Johns is a carpenter in the employ
of Contractor Woerth, also of Serb
ner. He is married and has a family
at Scribner. He had just got through
with one line of shingling on the roof
and had gone after more supplies
when the accident occurred. His COM
panions working below him were
startled by seeing him fall past them
to the ground. Unless there are Sc
rious internal injuries it is believed
Jones will recover.
DR.. j. II. Mackay, who attended
Johns after his fall from the roof, says
the man received only few scratches
about his face and chest and that no
other injuries, except a temporary
shock to his solar pleXus, were expert
enCed by the carpenter.
