East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-27

Last year five threshing outfits
valued at $4,000 We're destroyed by
smut fires in Umatilla county. The
prevention of smut is one of the most
important questions now before the
farmers.
Col. r. c. Judson. Industrial agent
of the o. r. & ~ system, has made
a special study of smut prevention
and offers the farmers of Umatilla
county several excellent treatments
for smut, all of which are said to be
highly effective.
The following treatment is taken
from the bulletins of the South Da-
kota experiment station and is highly
recommended by Col. Judson. The
bulletin in part is as follows:
Smut is disease transmitted from
one generation of plants to another
by means of minute spores. At thresh-
| ing time the smut. which consists of
myriads of spores, is scattered through
the grain, the spore terminating the
following spring along with the young
wheat plant and, penetrating the
young seeding, lives in the interior
of the plant until it heads, At this
time the smut enters the seed, alb
serbs its contents and developes a
mass of spores. The most effective,
cheapest and handiest methods of
treating the seed wheat are the Jen-
sen hot water treatment and the for
maldehyde treatment.
Hot Water Treatment.
This method consists in immersing
the seed which is supposed to be in
fected with smut for a few minutes in
hot water. The temperature must be
such as to kill the smut spores, and
the immersion must not be prolonged
so that the heat would injure the
germinative power of the seed. If
the water is at a temperature of
1872 1-2 degrees F., the spores will be
killed, and yet the immersion. if not
continued beyond 10 minutes, will not
in the least in. .ure the seed. The
temperature must be allowed to vary
but little from 1872 IL degrees, in no
case rising higher than 1856 degrees,
or falling below 130 degrees.

SUES FOR KRONER
Case From Norway Is Before
Judge Lewis

Judge Lewis issued an order yester-
day directing Hascal Fishbein and
Carsten Hanson, referees in the case
of Edward Mournckel & Co., of Ber-
gen, Norway, against Paul III. Kuehn
of St Paul, to appear in court April
and show cause why the court should
not appoint third referee.
The affidavit filed by c. H. Biorn at
torney for plaintiff, alleged that suit
had been instituted against defendant
on Feb. 3, 1903, but that stipulation
had been agreed to between the parties
whereby the matter should be submit
ted to three referees, one of which
should be appointed by each party to
the action and the two thus chosen to
select the third. That the third referee
was chosen in the person of George
Kohler but that he refused to serve.
The affidavit then alleges that Has
cal Fishbein, referee appointed by the
defendant has continually put off the
application of plaintiffs referee for the
appointment of a third referee so that
the difficulty could be thus adjudicated.
1t is on this account that the court
is petitioned to appoint the third ref
cree. The suit is brought by plain
tiff for the recovery of 322.11 kroner
alleged to be due from defendant for
fish furnished by plaintiff. Defendant
in his answer puts in counter claim
of 1117.14 kroner for damages alleged
TO have been sustained by him through

PLAN GAME LAWS
Wardens Will Meet In Chicago
Today for Conference

S. F. Fullerton, executive agent for
the Minnesota fish and game commits
sion left last evening for Chicago
where he will be present today at a
meeting of the Fish and Game Ward
ems association, to be held in the Great
Northern hotel. This is the first meet
ing of the association in seven years
and is intended for the purpose of hav-
ing a discussion of the best methods
of protecting wild game and fish, and
of taking movements looking towards
the passage in all northwestern states
of uniform fish and game laws.
Illinois, the Dakotas, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan and Minnesota will be
represented in the meeting which will
be in session the greater portion of
the day. Mr.. Fullerton is to read a
paper before the meeting in advocacy
Of the passage of laws in Illinois to
prevent the handling of foreign game
in the Chicago market. The bill which
he will advocate would be aimed prin-
cipally at the Water street commission
merchants who secure large quantities
of Minnesota game during the open
season and keep it during the winter
in cold storage.

Tams BiXby, chairman of the Dawes
commission, will retire with the other
commissioners July l and will become
private citizen.
Mr.. Bixby, who is in st. Paul, says
that he has no further political ambi-
tions. He had been credited with be-
ing a candidate for United States SEN
ator in the event that statehood came
to Indian territory, where, as a MEM
ber of the commission, he has been
constantly for the past eight years.
When the statehood bill failed, the
men who read the dope book immedi-
ately declared Mr.. Bixby would return
to Minnesota and would become a can
didate two years hence, to succeed
Charles r. Davis in congress from the
third Minnesota district. The same
prophets said that Mr.. Davis would
then retire in favor of the candidacy
of Joel p. Heatwole of Mortified, and
that battle royal would be waged in
the third between Tams BiXby and Mr..
Heatwole, with a seat in congress as
the prize to the victor.
Il have no thought of going either to
the senate or to congress-" said Mr..
BiXby last night. Down in Indian
territory the newspapers had it figured
out that if statehood was given the
territory and our side won l would be
a candidate for the senate. The talk

member of bankrupt corporation
who is not himself a bankrupt cannot
be convicted of the offense of conceal
ing that corporations property under
the bankruptcy laws. according to
decision made yesterday by Judge
SanbOrn, Judge Philips concurring, in
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals. The case which brought about
the decision was that of Frank B.
Field, plaintiff in error, VS.. United
States of America, defendant in error.
Field, as one of the directors of the
bankrupt Rollosson company, an Ar
kansas corporation, was indicted, tried
and convicted on the charge of having
concealed the property of the company
from the trustee in bankruptcy. A
provision in the federal bankruptcy
laws provides a punishment of two
years in the penitentiary on the con-
viction of any bankrupt concealing
property at the time that bankruptcy
proceedings are in progress.
Field demurred to the indictment
before the federal court in the west
ern district of Arkansas, contending
that the provision did not apply to Of
hcials of bankrupt corporations when
those officials were themselves solvent.
His demurrer was OVerruled in the
district court, but on the appeal it
is sustained and Field is released from
the charge of the Indictment.

PERJURY is CHARGED
Judge Informs Jury That Some
Testimony Was False

The jury returned a verdict for $400
in favor of the plaintiff in the case of
Rose Weinstein against Harry Edel-
son. which has been on trial before
Judge Hallam for the past two days.
The plaintiff alleged that while she
was occupying a house belonging to
defendant at 122 State street last win
ter the pipes froze and that she call
ed in defendant to remedy the trouble.
She asserted that defendant built 4
fire under the pipes in the basement
and that the damage resulting to her
furniture through the flames getting
beyond control of Mr.. EdelSon was
$3.50. The defendant denied in toto
the testimony of the plaintiff and fur
ther alleged that much of the furni
ture alleged to have been damaged
did not, as a matter of fact, belong to
the plaintiff.
IN charging the jury Judge Hallam
took occasion to draw its attention to
the fact that perjury had been COM
mitted iu~the trial of the case and to
point out the fact that 1t was the
province of the jury to determine the
credible testimony.

RELIEF REPORT GUT
Society Issues Summary of
Work for Year

The complete twenty ninth annual
report of the Relief society was issued
today. In his report President Daniel
r. Noyes says:
1--WE have found employment for
many more men and women than ever
before, enabling them to earn at least
in part their own livelihood. Our loan
ing fund has always been helpful and
payments have been the rule on the
school, under Supt. Mrs. T. L. Blood,
has been better than former years and
over 300 children attended regularly.
Over $4,000 applications for relief and
nearly 10000 cases where relief has
been given, appear on our books since
the founding of the society in 1876. APP
plicatfons to the number of 1859, of
which 565 were new cases, were receiv-
ed during the year The total amount of
aid given was $3,964.39. The balance
on hand at the end of the year was
$1,323.91."
Regarding the effect the Wilder
charity fund, comprising nearly $3,000,-
600 and founded by the late Amherst
III. Wilder, will have. on the society,
President Noyes had this to say:
Notwithstanding the overshadowing of
the Wilder charity-a cloud only as yet
our work has been well supported and the
old reliable relief society has lost little
If anything. in public favor on account of
ultimate possibilities.
Our own impression is that the work
or the st. Paul society for the relief of the
poor will long continue, thereby giving to
all our citizens the opportunity to con-
tribute. and the channel through which to
reach directly with their aims those de-
serving assistance. No charity which
would deprive them of their interest in the
the poor.

plished a work, the extent of which
few in Indian territory have an appre-
citation. We have conducted 5000 law
suits, we have so lawyers at work for
the commission right now and have S5
stenographers employed at Muscogee,
The evidence taken in the cases would
fill half a dozen box cars. Property
worth three to four hundred million
dollars has been allotted among the
original tribal owners and their de-
scendants, and this same property in
side of five years will be easily worth
a hundred million.
I'VE have encountered difficulties
from almost every source. AnimoSi-
ties have been engendered from Wash
ington to the remotest corners of the
reservation. The opposition has come
from the Indian Rights association, the
local grafters, the newspapers, ambi-
tious politicians, and in fact every man
from whom the commission had to
protect the Indians.
I'VE got no thanks except from a
few of the more intelligent Indians,
but it is some satisfaction now to know
that after the fight that has lasted for
almost the entire time of my occu-
pancy of the position as a member of
the commission that 1 think / have the

The commission goes out of exist
ence July 1. There will remain the al
lotments to be made to children born
since the enrolling began in 1902 and
before March of this year. This will
be done under the direction of the sec
retary of the interior.
