CORONER'S JURY FINDS VERDICT
AND CONFRONTS COMMISSIONER

diligent inquiry respecting the investi-
CATION then in progress. l ascertained
that a coroner's jury had been empan-
eled and that an inquest was being con-
Quoted in a manner that precluded the
possibility of arriving at the true facts
concerning the Independence disaster.
Is this sentence correctly quoted?
A: No, sir; it is not entirely correct.
1t is in part.
O.: Who interrogated you, MIR.
White?
A: l could not say who the man
was.
The coroner then read the second
paragraph. which referred to the jurors
as selected on account of their atti-
tude in existing labor troubles, and in
answer to the question rs this cor
rectly stated?" Mr.. White replied:
Il do not think / made any such
statement as that. | want to compare
that with the notes / have. | have kept
a record of it"
O.: Would you make such a state
ment as that, Mr.. White?
A: No, sir: | would not.
Mr.. White then said in substance
that he did not think the men selected
by the coroner as jurors were unreli-
able men, biased or prejudiced. He fur-
ther denied fatty that he had made the
statements that counsel representing
private interests were permitted to be
present and cross-eXamine witnesses
| and that questions were propounded to
witnesses by the jurors to determine
| criminal responsibility rather than tC
ascertain the facts"
| In answer to practically every ques-
| ton of the coroner MIR. White replied
that he was not correctly quoted and
that the statement was not made by
| him. In reply to Coroner Doran's ques-
ton. DO you believe, Mr.. White. that
selected men who are biased or pre-
| judiced against the employees and the
management of the company Mr.
| White replied:
81 believe, Mr. Doran, that ! have
| answered that question. but | Will an
swer 1t again. certainly think you
have selected men of good judgment:
as | before stated | have known mos,
| of them for a number OF years and
believe them to be fair and impartial
After Mr. White left the room Hous-
ton Tayor, a reporter for the Cripple
Creek Times and Denver Post. swort
that the article in question was identi'
! cal in substance with written state
ment by Commissioner White which hi
(Taylor) received from General F. NJ
Reardon at his Office and which was
signed by Wr. White. Mr.. Taylor sale
he saw Whites statement and that Il
was the same as the copy furnished tt
him in Mr.. Whites presence in Genera
| Reardon's Office.

yesterday afternoon the jury in the
case of Frederick Arnold. the last Of
the Youngblood holdups TO be tried,

Still 1hreatenina Panama.

Panama, Jan. 3O.-News. has reached
here from Bogota that inasmuch as
Generals Reyes and Cacallero have as
sured Colombia that the United States
would only object to her landing forces
in the canal zone, the Colombian gov
ernment intends to organize and seho
an expedition against Panama
The only explanation of-this news
from Bogota is that the government
of Colombia is compelled to take some
steps to prevent its downfall. This is
said to be imminent. as President Mar
roduin has lost all the prestige he ever
had. There is much speculation in Bo-
gotta as to the outcome of this move,
should It be put through.

eyes" in Avery's Grove.

The second annual picnic given by the
association OF the people Of Iowa in
Avery's grove We lnesday was well at
tended and proved to be grand success.
ALI who were bora in Iowa or had. lived
in that state prior to coming to Oregon

tend. Fully 400 people were present.
Scores of baskets filled with eatables
such as only an Iowa woman knows how
to prepare, we're emptied. upon the leng
table in the grove and the people helped
themselves. 1t was time Of rejoicing
as many had not had in years. Many
recollections of former days were re-
hearsed and old memories were made
new again. The singing was especially
fine. A cherus of IL velces rendered sew
eral selections Prof. Sneak led in
prayer. Pearl Bazie gave recitation,
Rev. T. S. Handsaker delivered an able
address, Hattie Potts recited 'Ostlel
Joe," George White also recited and
Prof. Sheak delivered an able impromptu
address. The "Hawkeyes'' are a jolly
set, as all who attended will testify.

the ensuing year: President, r III. Col
bert; vice president, G.. S. Rice; secre'
tary, Waldo Colbert; treasurer, J. W
Woods Special praise is due j. o. Black

To Purchase Philomath College.

L. A. Baldwin, president of the
College of Philomath, passed
through this city yesterday on his
way to Salem. to be present at the
Liberal United Brethren Conference
now in session at that place. A
movement is being agitated be-
tween the two colleges at Philomath
whereby one or the other shall sell
out, as college work is hindered by
the existence at that place OF two
colleges of opposite branches of the
same church. Last year a simi-
lar movement was started but not
being matured was dropped for a
time. A committee, however, was
EN- mpowered at the recent session of
the Radical United Brethren Con-
ference held in Philomath, to meet
similar committee from the
Liberal Conference now in session
at Salem, and come to some under
standing on the matter.
1t is understood that the Liberal
Brethren have a splendid offer from
Hood River and look with favor on
the proposition to sell out and move
the college to that place. Both
colleges are frst-class and have
Just closed the most prosperous
year in their history.
