Athena, July 15.-(SpeciaD AS
Mike Ryan, a farmer residing near
Juniper, started home from this place
this afternoon, his team ran away
throwing him into a barbed wire
fence. cutting his throat, chin and
breast in a horrible manner, and
otherwise injuring him.
A. j. Wagner, another farmer, came
along just as the runaway took place
and picked Mr.. Ryan up and brought
him to this place, where he was at
tended by physicians, although he
was so badly lacerated that it is
thought he will bleed to death. The
team which Mr.. Wagner was driving
ran away after he had picked up Mr..
Ryan, but no harm was done.
The accident occurred near the
cemetery and before medical aid
could reach Mr.. Ryan he had suf-
fered so greatly from loss of blood
that he was thought to be dying when
brought to the city. His entire throat
and chin was torn away by the wire
and his breast lacerated in a terrible
manner.

oxford, o., June 15.-Secretary of
war Taft delivered the address at the
commencement exercises of Miama
university. He spoke of Roosevelt's
effort to terminate the war in the
far east as a distinct gain to our ma
tional prestige.
He referred to indiscriminate en-
forcement of the Chinese exclusion
laws, contending 1t was better to dis
regard the unreasonable demands of
a portion of the community in the far
west, who are deeply prejudiced, and
insist upon extending due justice and
courtesy to a people from whom we
are likely to derive immense benefit
in the way of International trade. The
the efforts to catch the coolie laborer
the United States exposes to contume-
ly and insult many merchants and
students who had a right to come to
the United States.
On the subject of the Philippines
he did not for a moment contend
that for years they could prove any
thing but "a burden to the United
States. They had been forced upon
us against our will, he declared, as
trusts to be administered, and we
should be recEeant to our duties as
nation If we failed to meet the
obligation. We believe that ultimate
ly self-government is best for all
people, and thai all people can be
prepared by constant labor and atten-
ton to enjoy the blessings of the
civil liberty.

SALEM FACTION ATTACKS PROF. TRAVER

The Morning Tribune, through its
infantile management, this morning
printed a malicious attack upon
Professor l. r. Traver, who has been
employed as city superintendent of
Pendleton public schools, from a
Salem paper which represents a
small faction in Salem that is opposed
to Professor Traver and to public
schools in general.
This movement against Mr.. Traver
is headed in Salem by John A. Car
son, an attorney for A. Bush, the
Salem banker, and an opponent of
public schools. and L. H. McMahan,
the well known agitator who headed
the attack on Governor Chamberlain
and his asylum and penitentiary man
agement through jealousy and mall
ice.
The public school board of Pendle-
ton fully investigated the character
and standing of Mr.. Traver before
employing him and gave Salem peo-
pie every opportunity to tell about
his true character. But not a word
of unfavorable comment was heard
from Salem. The Salem school board
stood ready to re-elect Mr.. Traver il
he would accept the position In their
schools again, but as his salary was
to be advanced in Pendleton, he de-
clined to accept the offer from Sa-
lem. State Superintendent Ackerman
recommended Mr.. Traver as a first
class educator and a man of unim-
peachable character and several
teachers have applied to the Pendle-
ton school board for positions in the
school, saying that they desired to
teach under Mr.. Traver, II possible.
fractional Fight I'm Salem.
The true status of affairs in Salem
as near as can be learned from for
mer residents of Salem is this: A
small faction of people in Salem has
always opposed public schools, and
especially opposed the high school
when It was proposed in that district.
Mr.. Traver led the forces for high

CREWS RECORD.
Nine Violent Death in the Metropolis
in Month of June.

in Month of June.
Portland, June 15.-Nine deaths
due to various violence occurred in
this city within a short time. Three
men and one woman committed sui
eide, three men were run down and
killed by trains and one man was ac-
cidentally drowned in Guilds lake
and a boy in Mock's bottom.
Miss Wavelle Cunningham, of
Pendleton, Or, committed suicide at
694 East Alder street by breathing
gas June 8.
George P. Mcintyre took carbolic
acid at 2O6 Washington street, June
10.
George Baker threw himself into
the Willamette river at the foot of
covered June IL.
a man named McCandless sent two
bullets into his brain at the Everett
house Monday evening.
Guy Dulin was drowned on Guilds
lake June by having a canoe over
turn with him.
John Antell was crushed to death
by train at the North Pacific mills
June 12.
Patrick Ford, a newspaper press
man, was killed by a train near Linn
ton, June II.

Yesterday afternoon Warren C. Gill
patrick, 12-year-old son of F. T. Gil
patrick, 1921 Greeley street, fell from

walking with him, made heroic ef-
forts to rescue the boy, but failed

school. secured it and has made a
success of it in Salem, but during his
entire residence there, this small
faction has taken every opportunity
to malign him and his work because
they are opposed to taxation for the
spread of public school education.
These facts are stated without re-
serve by former residents of Salem,
and it is the candid opinion of these
former Salem people that this mass
meeting at which Mr.. Traver was
scored was final blow at his char
acter, in hopes of running him and
placing him in disrepute in Oregon.
1t is said that the chief object of
the attack of several parties in Salem
on Mr.. Traver was because of the dis
charge of several incompetent teach
ers from the Salem schools If this
is so, as alleged, 1t is a recommenda-
tion for Mr.. Traver.
The fact remains that not a
word of unfavorable comment was
heard from Salem while the Pendle-
ton school board was making inquir-
les about the Salem principal. Let
ters were written to every member
of the school board and a general
expression of regret at the departure
of Mr.. Traver from Salem was heard
from all.
Tribune Violates Its Promise.
This clipping from the Salem pa
per seems to be entirely one-sded
and extremely narrow and the TrI-
bune promised the school board last
evening, upon its honor, that 1t would
not publish the statement until the
matter was fully investigated In Sa-
lem, as 1t is unjust TO the new prin-
cipal and to the board to scatter
such a report, prematurely among
the patrons of the school, The board
will make a thorough investigation
of the facts and it is not thought
now that any evidence contrary to
that already received by the board
in regard to the character of Mr..
Traver will be produced.
