from Political Motives Only-Latter
Called to Order.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 1.-(SpeciaD-
Seven bills were passed by the senate
and the house today. One bill in each
house failed. None were important.

floor yesterday over the Albee reso-
luton extolling the Oregon system of
government which was beaten in the
senate was heard today when Presi-
dent Selling and Senator Abraham
had another tilt. Selling in voting no
on Abraham's bill to compel the gov

gitives from Justice, said he voted no,

political nature. The bill passed
the senate. Abrahams Indignantly
denied this and said he was working
for the good of Oregon and was fl
nally called to order, when his de-
fense ended.

DRASTIC BRIBERY
LAW PROPOSED
NEW YORK SOLON TO
PROTECT LEGISLATORS
Graft Investigating Committee Re-
ports Bill to Put An End to Evil for
All Time-Racetrack Gamblers the
Cause.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 1.-What is de-
scribed as "the most drastic anti
bribery law" ever framed for the pro-
lection of an American legislature
was recommended TO the assembly to-
day by committee which had been
investigating the reports of wholesale
graft, particularly with respect to the
race track campaign against the
Hughes anti-betting bill. The COM
mittee recommended all legislators
who don't inform on their fellow
members of a prosecutor who at
tempts to unduly influence them
shall be guilty of a felony and pun
ishable by forfeiture of fine and
fine of five thousand or Imprisonment
or ten years. Threats are also to be
construed as bribes under the pro-
posed measure.
Referring to the reports that a CO.
terie of race track owners had raised
a huge slush fund at a meeting at
Delmonicos to fight the anti-race track
bills. the committee admits it was un-
able to trace the fund because the CO.
teries stayed out of the committees
jurisdiction and defied it's process
servers.
Fire insurance bribery scandals
were also reviewed and the committee
fathers eleven sweeping fire insurance
bills that are expected once and for
all to end legislative holdups and bills
which are said to have been used by
grafters to bleed the big companies.

cording to n cablegram received by the
war department today from Cover
nor General Forbes of the Philippine
islands
Several estimates placed the num-
Der OF dead at 900, the dispatch says
but this figure, Governor Forbes adds
needs verification.

pie in Talisoy, were drowned by the

SUPREME COURT
BILL INTRODUCED

Salem, Or, Feb. IA measure to
| increase the number of justices of the
Oregon supreme court from five to
seven was introduced in the house
Monday afternoon just before ad-
journment by Representative Miller
| Of Columbia county, and similar
measure was introduced IN the senate
by Senator Joseph of MuItnomah yes
terday.
Though the act contains a provi-
sion whereby it will be referred to the
people at the general election in No
vember, 1912, it has the ever busy
emergency clause attached and pro-
vides that the governor shall appoint
the two additional supreme court JUS
tices as soon as the act goes into eff
feet. They are TO serve until the peo-
pie can elect their successors at the
general election in 1914. They will
draw the same salaries as the present
court.
The act also provides that this court
shall be divided into three depart
ments. The chief justices will sit
with each department. the other six
justices to be apportioned between
the two departments. The object of
this provision is to facilitate the work
of the court in allowing one depart
ment to hear cases while the other oe-
partment is preparing opinions in
cases already argued before it. There
VIII be no division of the cases to be
heard, each department hearing
whatever cases are allotted to it by
the chief justice. This arrangement
Will compel the chief justice to hear
all cases and he will write few opin-
Ions, but will have a vote in the de-
cision of all cases while the other
three judges will have the other cases
where they sat to hear the argument
of counsel.
