STATE BRANDS
BILL Is PASSED
BY THE SENATE
FEES ARE PROVIDED FoR-REC'
ORDS TO BE KEPT BY STATE
VETERINARIAN.

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 27.-The senate
passed senate bill "a. by Strayer. pro-
viding for the recording Of all stock
brands with the state veterinarian.
instead of with county clerks.
Senator strayer said the purpose OF
the bill was to prevent duplication OF
stock brands, and be an aid in exter-
minating cattle rustling in the east
ern Oregon counties. II will also give
official authority TO the inspector
maintained by the oregon Cattle and
Horse Grewers' association at the
Portland union stock yards.
II carries no appropriation. but pro-
vides that all fees collected may be
retained by the state veterinarian as
compensation for the extra work
given him.
This was the only provision TO
which objection was made. Senator
Day and Senator Bingham each ex'
pressed their disapproval Senator
Bingham said 1t would be returning
TO the old fee system, which he con-
sidered dangerous.
Senator Bingham withdrew senate
bill 70, relating TO the duties Of school

clerks. He stated that similar bills
had been introduced in the house and
he did not wish to display the dis
courtesy toward their authors as the
house had displayed toward bill in
troduced by Senator Dimick, which
had been passed by the senate and,
because a similar bill had been intro
duced in the house. was indefinitely
postponed in the house.
Senator Bishop endeavored to get a
reconsideration of the vote on house
bill l2. which provides that food for
domestic animals shall be classed as
an item OF family expense. The bill
had been indefinitely postponed and
the senate refused TO authorize a sus-
pension Of rules for reconsideration
Consideration OF the memorial to
congress urging the passage of the
Ferris bill, was put off until the am.
endments made to the bill by the
United States senate can be obtained
and printed.

Two Die To Save nthers

PITTSBURG, Jan. 2T.-Three men
were drowned recently in the Monon-
gahela river. Two lost their lives in
trying to rescue two others, who had
been thrown into the river by the cap
sizing of their boat.
The drowned men were, Robert NJ.
Oliver, son OF d. r. Oliver, president
Of the Pittsburg board or public ed
ucation and nephew of Senator George
p. Oliver; William Niehaus. of Evans.
Vile, Ind. and Thomas Mooney, of
Duquesne, Penn. Edward Hetzel OF
this city, was rescued.
Oliver and Hetzler were rowing near
the Smithfield street bridge, when
they were caught in a swift current.
Hetzel stood up in the boat and cried
for help. The craft capsized. Hetzel
tried to swim to shore, but Oliver
sank in a moment
Hetzler's cries had been heard by
several men at a nearby boathouse
and they threw ropes into the stream.
Hetzel managed to seize one of the
ropes and was pulled to safety.
William Niehaus and Thomas
Mooney, who were on the other bank,
obtained a boat and started to the res
cue. About half way across the river
an oarlock broke. They managed,
however, to steer their boat to tho
place where Oliver and Hetzel had
been capsized, but their boat was
caught in the swirl and overturned,
and both men sank before aid could
reach them.

white and welsh clashed In pe.

White and Welsh clashed in De-
cember over the same course at Mil
waukee. Wis. The beertown critics
and their brethren from Chicago who
went up to see the mill were pretty
we'll divided as to the outcome. Chi
cago's contingent were strong for
White-they couldn't see a home boy
lose. Milwaukee's gang were neu-
tral-some declaring for White, 9TH
ers for Welsh and still others hedging
by saying 1t was a good draw.
New York fans have seen both in
action against the same man here
recently. Welsh appeared first, tan
going ten rounds with Joe shugrue,
the Jersey skeeter. The critics were
almost unanimous in awarding the
popular decision to Shugrue. Not
long after White hooked up with
Shugrue here. The Chicago boy
showed lots better against the Jersey
ite than the champion did. But at
that he didn't get away with a clean
victory. A great many thought Shug-
rue had won while others fell back
on the old reliable draw" verdict.
White played too much OF a wait
ing game in the opinion of many
ring followers. For seven rounds he
let Shugrue carry the fight to him
which Shugrue did and did we'll.
White then saw he was behind in
points and he started in to "clean
up" His much advertised left hook
didn't avail him much. Shugrue
seemed to have had some advance in
formation on it. He blocked 1t with
ease right along. White changed his
tactics with the eighth round. doing
some straight hitting and he had the
Jersey boy in distress by the end Of
the go.
A huge crowd is promised for to-
nights mill as great interest has been
manifested in IT,

SALEM, Jan. 27. - After a mi
crosoopic examination by DR., ]. l.
Gilbert OF Portland OF the hair taken
from the hands OF Mrs. Daisy Wehr-
man, Governor withycombe issued a
formal statement In which he declar-
ed his belief that the hair is not from
the head OF John Pender. who is in
the state prison under life sentence
for the murder OF Mrs. Wehrman and
her child.
The hair was compared under the
microscope with hair clipped from
the head OF John C. Siercks, a half
wit at the state hospital who recently
confessed the murder and then re.
pudiated his confession. The color
and marking resembles that OF siercks
hair but another sample found In
the woman's other hand resembles
hair of a child.
The governor said:
II have seen enough to feel con-
vinced that the hair found In Mrs.
Wehrman's hands was not that OF
Fender. There seems some reason
to believe that Il might have been
Sierck's: at least the general charac-
ter OF the hair. as examined under
the microscope. is entirely different
from the Pender hair. and Is practl-
cally identical with Siercks OF
course even the prosecution never
claimed that the hair found in the
dead woman's hands was Pender's,
Now. 1t Is apparent that so far as its
| physical texture Is concerned. II might
be Siercks. On the other hand. II
also might he the woman's herself. or
someone else's. The next important
matter is TO establish that the hair
is. or Is not Mrs. Wehrman's.
shall attempt to get hair from the
body OF Mrs. Wehrman, to continue
the investigation. II the hair is the
same as this We have examined. the
matter is closed. at least so far as this
lead is concerned. II il conclusively
is not an important point Is establish
ed-we are sure that the hair is not
the woman's. We are sure that it is
not Pender's. and there is good rea-
son to believe that II Is Siercks."
The bodies OF Mrs. Wehrman and
the child are buried in FL Dora, Iowa,
and as there is probably no legal rea-
son for exhumlng them. Governor
Withycombe has written to Governor
/ Clarke for help in getting the facts in
the case established as nearly as pos
sible.
The point in comparing hair fur
ther is to establish whether the hair
found in Mrs Wehrman's hand is her
own or her child's.
Governor Withycombe has asked
Colonel Lawson. warden at the state
prison, to go to Scappoose to investi-
gate further.

The Warriors Lance

The lance has been more or less ridicuied by military experts, on the ground that it is out of date and cum bersome, but the weapon still has it's advocates. who point out it's value in shock tactics and in cavalry charges. In the German troops, for instance, the lance in the hands of the Prussian uhlans remains formidable weapon.
 Recently attention has been invited to the fact that the lance point often makes too deep wound for the shaft to be withdrawn quickly, and that therefore the lancer must run the risk of having it wrenched from his grasp in the charge. Insview of this, experi. ments have been made with a new kind of lance carrying ball below the base of the lance head. It is said that the new arm is just as effective in dis abling an enemy and is free from many disadvantages.
