BACK BROKEN BY THUGS.
Salem Man is Horribly Treated by
Robbers.

Salem, March 24.-Norman Da-
venport, a victim of two highway
men, lies at the Salem hospital suf-
ferlng from severe injury to his
back, with his body paralyzed below
the waist.
The assault occurred last night be-
tween and 10 o'clock near the
corner of Winter and Chemeketa
streets. the thugs leaving their VIC
tim lying upon the sidewalk in a
helpless condition after having re-
lieved him of $3.50 and a gold watch.
Who the assailants were remains a
mystery. but the officers are follow
ing every clue and making all posi-
BILE effort to run down the criminals.
The injured man is a stranger in the
city and can lend no aid to the Off
GERS aside from giving a meagre de-
scription of one of the men who took
part in the hold-up.
AS Davenport fell. one of the thugs
dropped upon his chest with his knee,
but seeing that the injured man could
offer no further resistance both as
sailants proceeded to rifle his pockets.
They stripped his pockets of all their
contents with the exception of small
note book and a handkerchief. From
an inside coat pocket they took roll
of greenbacks amounting to $3.50;
from the hip pocket of his trousers a
small wallet containing few dollars
in change. and from his vest pocket
gold watch valued at $65.

BY a decision of Circuit Judge Ellis
given yesterday afternoon, prohibition
in the eight precincts of Morrow
county that went dry at the recent
election, was set aside on the ground
that the law was illegally enacted.
The case that was argued yesterday.
and upon which the decision was
given, was that of the state versus
Dan P. Doherty, a saloon keeper Of
Lexington. Doherty is said to have
been running saloon at Lexington
continuously, and was charged with
having violated the local option law.
The case for the state was conduct
ed by District Attorney Phelps, while
C. E. Redfield, of the firm Of Red
field & Van Vactor, appeared for
Doherty. The evidence in the case
was taken at the recent session of the
circuit court held at Heppner, and
the time for the arguments postpon-
ed until yesterday.
In many ways the case from Nor
row county is similar to the ireland
case from Freewater, which was tried
here over a month ago. However, in
the present case, the only point rails
ed was that the election was not or
dered at a regular session of the
county court. No issue was made
concerning the proper recording OF
the petition by the county clerk. a.
was done in the Ireland case.
However, the decision yesterday az
fects all of Morrow county that went
lr,, ,r-ha ~,
piled only to the sub division OF
which Freewater was a part OF the
eight precincts that went dry In
Morrow county, Lexington and Hard
man were the only ones in which sa-
looms were being conducted, lone
and Heppner voting wet.
From accounts that have been pub
lished the opinion has become prev
alent that the decisions of Judge Ell
lis and Judge Bradshaw on the local
option law have been directly oppo-
site. However, this is said to be un-
true by local attorneys, for the rea-
son that in the Hood River case in
which Judge Bradshaw upheld the
law, the only point raised was as to
the constitutionality of the law, and
the contention that the law was not
regularly enacted was not raised. In
the Gillian county case, in which 1t
has been stated that Judge Bradshaw
has overruled the action of the coun-
ty court, 1t appears that the only
thing done was to grant mandamus
proceedings to compel the Gillian
county court to canvass the vote and
declare the result This is said to be
required, whether the law is upheld
or not, and cannot be taken as mean
ing that the law is to be held as le-
gally enacted in that county.

FUNERAL OF MRS.
JANE STANFOR
TOOK PLACE IN GREAT
UNIVERSITY CHAPEL
4 Great Concourse of Grieving People
Attended Who Came From Every
Part of California-The Services
Were Simple But Impressive and
the Remains We're Inferred In the
Mausolcum Where Lie Those of
Her Beloved Husband and Son.

Palo Alto, March 24.-The remains
of Mrs Stanford were consigned to
their resting place beside those of her
husband and son today in the beauti-
full mausoleum on the Stanford Uni
versiay grounds
Not in the history of California
have greater honors been paid the
dead than were paid the great phil
anthropist. Hundreds who had never
seen the woman in life came from all
parts of the state to pay their final
respects.
The funeral program, which was
extensive, though simple, opened with
the carrying of the casket from the
Stanford mansion on the campus. to
the great memorial chapel, erected
by the dead woman The cortege,
though devoid of color, was solemn
ly impressive. The student body led
the procession, followed by resident
graduates, choir alumni, the faculty
and official clergymen and honorary
pall-bearers. The hearse was guard
ed by eight athletic students and en-
ployes of the Stanford estate. AS the
mournful procession entered the
chapel, Chopin's magnificent funeral
march was rendered on the great or
gan.
The service over, the procession re-
formed for the march to the mauso-
leum, where the services, though
brief. were again held. Three hymns
were sung, followed by the eulogy,
and the solemn and buautiful ritual
of committal of the body to the tomb
was pronounced by Bishop William
Ford Nichols.

COURTS SOAKED
{. H. HARTMAN
FAILED TO GET CONTROL
OF NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Hartman Staked So, 900, 600 on a
Lawsuit and Was Beaten In the
Supreme Court-He Loses and j. j.
Hill Gains Enough TO Build and
Thoroughly Equip Three thousand
Miles OF Railroad-Was Specula-
tive Movement Purely.

New York, March 24.-The dis
tribution of the investments of E.
H. Hartman interests in Northern
Securities stocks, made by deposit of
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
securities, will return to the treasury
of the system a sum sufficient to
build approximately 5000 miles of
railroad with full equipment
The amount of securities deposited
by Hartman interests was $S2.6OO,-
900, and when dissolution was ordered
by the United States courts, demand
was made that the same number of
shares of Northern Pacific and of
stocks of other companies be returned
that had originally been deposited
This was with the evident purpose of
obtaining control of the Northern Pa
cific, but Mr.. Hartman was defeated
and must accept such stocks as James
]. Hill elects to return.
However, as all stocks are selling
at prices higher than when the merg-
er took place, the sum to be realized
will be in excess of the value when
deposited. In May next four years
will have elapsed since the stock was
used for this purpose. and its distribu-
tion will return that amount to the
reserve of the Hartman interests.
Invested in building roads in the
Northwest the amount would be suf-
ficient to gridiron Oregon and Wash
ington with feeders of the o. R. & N
and Southern Pacific, including the
Snake River route, and every pro-
jected line into regions where the
system does not now haul traffic over
its own rails

Washington, March 24.-word has
been received by the state depart
ment that President Castro formally
refuses to arbitrate the questions at
issue between the United States and
Venezuela
In castro's note to Minister Bowen
he peremptorily declines to permit
any of the questions at issue to be
arbitrated. The communication is
not made public, but at the state de-
partment 1t is announced the tone
of the note is practically insulting
Secretary of War Taft who is tenn
porarily in charge of the state de-
partment matters, presented the in
formation to the president and eabi-
net at this mornings meeting.
The dispatch from Minister Bowen
was thoroughly discussed in cabinet
meeting, where it was admitted that
Castro's reply brought a crisis in the
situation. Bowen does not say he has
been dismissed from Venezuela, but
his relations are so strained that it
is almost beyond question he will be
recalled.
The next legal step will be to dis
patch vessels of the navy to the Vene-
zuelan coast to safeguard American
interests and possibly establish
blockade, as European nations did
two years ago.
Secretary Taft remained half
hour after the cabinet meeting dis
cussing the situation with the presi-
dent. on leaving he declined to state
what action, If any, had been decid-
ed upon.

100 FROM OKLAHOMA.

Largest Transfer From the Main Line
Since Tourist Rush Began on o. r.
I&N.
One hundred tourists, principally
from oklahoma points, transferred
from No. 1 this morning to the Spo-
kane branch, most of them going to
Lewiston and Moscow. This is the
largest transfer that has been made
since the tourist rush began on Feb
ruary 10.
Most of these people say that Okla
homa is overcrowded since crops
have failed for the past three years
and that thousands of people from
that territory will come to the
Northwest this spring.
Since the Cherokee strip was open
ed in 1898, n continuous rush of
homeseekers has poured into the ter
ritory from all the adjoining states,
and as long as crops were good and
times prosperous there was room for
all, but during the past three years
the wheat crop has been very short
and there is nothing for the surplus
population to do, so a large portion
OF IT is now headed toward the coast

CUDAHY MANAGER DENIES COMBINATION

Chicago, March 24.-Michael r.
Murphy. manager of the Cudahy
Packing company. Omaha, was the
principal witness this morning be-
fore the federal grand jury which is
investigating the alleged beef trust.
The managers of several other
packing concerns are scheduled to
appear before the grand jury today.
1t is understood the jury is ques-
tioning witnesses regarding the prices
of dressed meats at retail and whole
sale prices covering the past three
years. Every precautlon is being
taken to prevent information reaching
the public as to the progress of the
case.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-03-24

Murphy was asked regarding the
charge that cattle were rejected in
the South Omaha yards when ship
pers' prices are too high and that by
agreement all the large packers re-
fused to consider the lot for pur-
chase and used their influence with
exporters not to buy so that the lot
would have to be forwarded to Chi
cago to be sold at a sacrifice. He
replied he knew of no such transac-
tions.
Testimony showing the profits of
retail meat dealers and prices OF un-
failing uniformity for meats at the
big five" packers branch houses,
was also given.

ENGLIsHMAN WANTS A FIGHT.
Will Box Either Britt or Nelson Soon

Chicago, March 24.-Jabez White,
the British lightweight champion, ar
rived in Chicago this morning with
his manager, Charlie Mitchell, on
their way to the coast for a battle
with Britt and Battling Nelson.
White declined to be interviewed,
but Mitchell volunteered the inform
alton that the British pugilist is in
grand form and does not need much
training. They probably leave for
the coast tonight.
