Olympia January 12 The lone member of the 15th session Mrs Ina P Williams of North has the distinction of chairing the public morals committee tasked with the fate of the bone dry bill introduced by Representative and Speaker appointed her. A hearing by joint house and senate public morals committees is expected next Friday.

Speaker W W Connor urged reform in a mocking speech about the legislature. The scene features unusually few lobbyists in the state house corridors.
