PEOPLE NAME SENATOR.
Oregon's' Republican Legislature
Eleots Democrat as Instructed.
Governor George E. Chamberlain, a
Democrat, was elected Tuesday by
Republican Legislature as United
States Senator from Oregon, thus solv
ing the problem of choosLng Senators
by popular vote without infringing on
the Constitution of. the United States,
Popular will triumphed, backed by a
strong people's lobby determined to see
that the members of the Legislature
carried out the Instructions given at
the polls. A suggestion of extreme
measures for any violating pledgos
helped keep nil in Hue. It was also
declared that the "recall" would be
used on ofTeuding lawmakers.
With the Republicans in a majority,
many party lenders hoped to secure one
of their political faith chosen as suc
cessor to Senator Charles V. Fulton,
desplto the voters' Instructions, and a
campaign with this object in view had
been carried on, but without result.
Tuesdays ballot was by the houses
seperately, and the result was ratified
by a vote in Joint session Weduesday.
In the House Chamberlain was given
34 rotes and in the Senate 10, a total
of 53, or seven more than was neces
sary to bring about the election.
Under the Oregon direct primary law
political parties nominate a candidate
as the choice of the party for United
States Senator. For nominee of the
Republicans In the last election Sen

aspirant. Governor Chamberlain. Prior

BILLIK'S NECK IS SAVED.
Sentence of Alleged Chicago Poisoner
Commuted to Life Imprisonment.
Herman Rlllik, sentenced to hang on
Friday, Jan. 20, was rescued from the
gallows when Governor Deneen, on rec
ommendation of the State Hoard of
I'urdoiiH, commuted his sentence to im
prisonment for life. The convicted
slayer of Mary Yrznl, who five times
was granted an eleventh-hour reprieve,
fell on his knees at the county jail and
wept when the news from Springfield
was conveyed to him.
"Life imprisonment means liberty,"
he declared. "I shall now have the
chance I have been fighting for to
prove my Innocence."
Commutation of Blllik's sentence is
due to the testlmuoy and subsequent
confession of perjury of Jerry Vrznl,
who, with his sisters, Emma Nclman
and Bertha Vrzal, were the only mem
bers of the Vrzal family to escape
death by poisoning.
"We nre of the opinion that even
with the elimination of this testimony
there is evidence to support the ver
dict of the Jury beyond reasonable
doubt," says the pardon board. "But
in taking Into consideration statements
later made by some of the Jurors we
feel we nre warranted in the conclu
sion the death penalty would not have
been Inflicted."
Rlllik, who is 42 years old and was
born In Volfort of Bohemian parents,
was indicted more than two years ago
for having poisoned fiflve members of
the Vrzal family. He was placed on
trial In June, 11)07, before Judge Alfred
C. Barnes for the murder of Mary
Vrzal, the oldest daughter, and was

The war god held full sway In the

$18,000,000for twoflrst-class battleships,

By a vote of 100 to 80 authorization

was taken despite, the opposition Oil

declaring that the present Japanese
agitation was a ruse cooked up at the
White House to Induce Congress to
vote for naval increase. "I am tired
these annual wars with Japan,
which always occur simultaneously
with the consideration of the naval ap
propriation bill by Congress," declared
Mr. Tawney. "All the rest of the time
our relations with Japan are friendly,
but as soon as we begin to consider the

President in Special Message Tell
Congress of Nation's Peril.
President Roosevelt in a special mee

tbe necessity for conserving Its re

citizens of to-day to the generations te
come. The message transmitted to Con

confronting tiie country if the present
waste is permitted to continue.
"We should do nil in our power to
develop nnd protect Individual liberty,
individual initiative, but subject al

President. "When necessary, the pri
