SENATE HAS
A VERY BUSY
DAY OF IT
SENATOR ABRAHANIS AND PRES
IDENT SELLING TILT LANCES,
BUT NO BLOOD is SHED, THE
JOUST BEING PLAYFUL.

Save for a tilt occurring between
President Selling and Senator Abra-
ham, of Douglas, when the latter's
bill relating to the issuance of requi-
sitions by the governor for fugitives
from justice came up for considera-
tion, the forenoon session Of the
senate was sere1e and quiet, the
body devoting itself to the transac-
ton of business, and when the noon
hour arrived it had hammered out a
lot Of it.
Senator Abrahams bill amends
the present law with relation to
reQuisitions, Under the law as it
now exists, it is discretionary with
the governor whether he issues one
or not and that provision was made
use Of by Governor West several
weeks ago when he denied requi-
sition for q forger in Montana on the
ground that the crime did not war
rant the expenditure of money nee
essary to bring him back; and also
on the ground that there was not a
showing of sufficient evidence to
convict.
Senator Abraham's bill provides
that in cases of indictment for trea-
son or felony that the governor
must issue the requisition, but that
in cases OF lesser crimes or. where
an indictment has not been preferred
against the party in cases OF treason
or felony, he may exercise his dis
erection.
Political Measure, Says Selling.
The tilt between the two came
when President Selling arose to ex-
plain his reasons for voting against
the measure. He stated in substance
that Senator Abraham had charged
him with playing politics in the sem
ate and that he resented it and de
MED It. He then accused the senator
from Douglas with playing politics
and pronounced his bill but a politi-
cal measure and said for that reason
he would vote against It.
Senator Abraham came back with
the reply that what the president

"Since the Lorimer case is a home
issue, involving the senate's good
name and honor, a wrong Judgment
in the matter is likely to mean the
ultimate end of the senate, If the
senate is too cowardly to acquit when
acquittal is right, it ought to go out
of business. If it is too servile to
convict when conviction is right, it
will go out of business.
"The evidence in the Lorimer in
vestigation shows that there were ten
tainted votes in the legislature which
elected him senator. Lorimer knew
what had been done TO get them.
He himself was at headquarters with
political agents around him. He
even roomed with his creature, the
speaker of the Illinois house. That
should be enough to prove that he

STAYTON MAN
IS CHARGED
WITH INCEST

When the grand jury convenes in
the city at the next term OF court,
there will appear before it to answer
to the awful charge of incest a gray
haired man bowed down with the
weight of years and on whose sys-
TEN rheumatism, together with de-
clining years, have made such ray
ages that he totters instead Of walks.
The name of the man is A. G.
Woodward, of Stayton, or near that
town, and the person upon whom he
is alleged to have committed the
fiendish charge preferred against
him is his daughter-a pretty girl
between the age of 16 and II years.
He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Henry Smith and when arraigned be-
fore the justice of the peace at Stay
ton, he waived his preliminary ex-
animation and his bonds were placed
at $1,5OO He was unable to give
this bond and he was brought to the
city and incarcerated in the county
Jail yesterday,
The girl, it is said, will soon be-
come a mother, and has confessed
that the father sustained illicit re-
lations with her and is responsible
for her condition. According to the
information secured by the sheriff
officials the father has also con-
fessed his guilt to Deputy Sheriff
Smith.

hurt his feelings, that he would
apologize. What l do here, 1 am
doing because l deem it best for my
country" he said, "and as there are
political questions involved in most
measures they must be considered"
He then called attention to a re-
mark made by President Selling when
he assumed the presidency of the
senate and which was to the effect
that he regarded his election as
protest against machine rule and
that he hoped it was dead in Oregon,
and also other remarks that he had
made.
President Selling stated that he
had made those remarks because
they we're true and that he hoped
machine politics in the state were
