East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-12-30

Peter Smith Knsella S,li re th,i
new chief of the Pendleton police
force unless II strong. persistent ru-
NOR that has been circulated today is
unfounded. According to n report
that has been current today the ex-
New Yorker last night received five
votes out of seven when tho new
council voted In caucus upon the
marshalship.
AS usual the meeting last evening
was an entirely secret one, and Il is
said each man present took solemn
vow to reveal nothing of the pro-
ceedings. The session was held in
the office of Judge Fee, in the Judd
building and was attended by MEM
bers of the old as well rs the new
council. About Q o'clock the meet
ing adjourned. and the various mem
bers wended their respective ways
homeward. each man keeping close
guard upon his lips lest he say some-
thing that would throw light upon
the proceedings Of The caucus
Put alas II seems the art OF keep-
ing a secret is difficult one, or els,
the situation regarding the marshall
ship was so well known I'm advance
that the result was apparent without
being told. While nothing official
has been given out. and there is so
far nothing more than rumor to go
on. It is generally accepted around
the city today that the selection OF
Mr.. Klnsella as marshal was agreed
upon last night.
According to Information said to be
reliable. the remaining two votes
went to Bert Wilson. bartender in
the Swearingen saloon. Also. that
these two votes were cast by Messrs.
Murphy and Swearingen. That no
vote was cast for A. Gibson is believed
by those who think they know. Should
this prediction be correct the sup
porters of Mr. Kinsclla were Messrs.
Hinkle. Mumm McCormmach. Rem,
and Ell. Councilman Ferguson. who
IL a hold-over, Is absent In California,
thus making only four votes necessary
to choice.
AS to the strength of Marshal Coff-
man in the caucus there seems to be
some question, though 1t is generally
held he would have been the choice
had II not been for Mr.. Kinsella. II
Is known that at least two or three
members were favorable to his re-
election not long ago, but how he
stood at the final showdown Is not
known. This morning the marshal
took his retirement as an assured
fact. and declared he had but little
regret over the outcome. What he
will do should 1t prove true that he
Is let out. he does not yet know.
As to what action was taken at the
caucus regarding the other offices,
thore Is little being said. However,
there Is no doubt but that Judge Fits
Gerald was again agreed upon for re-
corder Nor has anything become
known regarding the appointment of
a city attorney. This is done by the
mayor, and IL is presumed that
Nayor-elect Fee made mis- choice
known last night, so that the coun-
cilmen, who must approve the selec-
ton, could be considering the ap-
pointment. Also. the councils choice
of n marshal must be endorsed by
the mayor.

NEED AMERICAN WHEAT.
Because of Crop Failures md Desti.
tuition Of tho Peopre.

Mexico City, Mexico, Dec. 3G-
Owing to the scarcity Of wheat caus-
ed by the partial failure of the whezse
crop. the government has removed thx
duty on American and CanadiaR
wheat, beginning with January l.
When IL was realized in the beginning
of the fall that the crop was short, ths
duties were lowered by the govern
ment. but the entire removal became
imperative when the reports of tht
actual crop showed that It was even
smaller than expected.
The city bakers have reduced tbs
size of their loaves, asserting that II
was impossible for them to give the
same weight as formerly. There it
small supply still in the hands Of
the large farmers, but not sufficient
to bring down the price. The price
of corn is also very high and this
causes great hardship among the
poor.
