East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-10-27

Wednesday evening a party con-
sisting of Mr., and Mrs. w. L. Thomp-
son and Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. Judd,
arrived here from Lewiston by auto,
making the trip in 10 hours of actual
running time. They made the trip
in Mr.. Thompson's White steamer,
and left Lewiston at 7:45. They made
the run from there to Dayton, 60
miles, in five hours and stopped for
half an hour at Pomeroy, on the way.
The above so miles is the worst part
Of the road to Pendleton because of
bad grades. The Alpowa grade, just
out of Lewiston, is IL miles long,
and also the big Meringo hill, be-
tween Pomeroy and Dayton is a bad
one, as there is a 1500-foot drop.
In all two hours during the day
were taken up with stops, and thus
but 10 hours of actual running time
was used. This is said to be the
fastest record ever made between
Lewiston and this place. and is less
than half the time required for the
trip by railroad, as "a hours is the
time taken for the latter run. The
distance from here to Lewiston is ap-
proximately $50 miles.

In the case of H. b. Kershaw, of
Walla Walla, who was charged with
taking grain from warehouse
without the consent of the owner, n
verdict of not guilty was returned
this forenoon, and the case was dis
missed.
On the convening of court this
morning the attorneys in the case
completed their arguments, and after
the instructions had been given the
jury by Judge Ellis the IL men re-
tired for their verdict. They were
out but a comparatively short time
when they reached verdict for the
defendant.
The specific charge against Ker-
shaw was that in 1898 he caused 1895
bushels of wheat belonging to G. A,
house at Hillsdale station without the
consent of the owner. According to
the complaint, Mr.. Hartman, the pros.
ecuting witness, did not learn that
the wheat had been taken until year
later. Thereupon the matter was
brought to the attention of Mr.. Ker-
shaw, and he is said to have prom
ised to settle for the amount. How
ever, he failed to do this, and last
March criminal proceedings were un
dertaken against him by District At
torney Phelps and while in this city
Kershaw was served with warrant
by Constable j. NJ. Bentley.
In the trial the shipping of the
wheat was admitted, but 1t was held
that A. B. McEwen. manager of the
warehouse. was responsible instead OF
Kershaw. During the trial McEwen
was a witness for the state and testi-
fled that he had received instructions
from Kershaw to make the shipment
Shortly after the wheat was taken the
company of which Kershaw was pres
ident went into bankruptcy.
Colonel j. II. Raley assisted Dis.
trict Attorney Phelps in the prosecu.
ton of the case, while HALEY & Low.
ell and John Sharpstein, of Walla
Walla, apeared for the defense. The
jury was as follows: ]. r. Dickson

Carmichael, H. H. Williams, F. NJ

A. w. Grover, w. H. Wilmot, ant

SENATOR BATE DEAD.

The angel of death called home
Senator William B. Bate at Wash
ington last Thursday. He caught
cold, which developed pneumonia,
and died at 6 o'clock, a. m.
1t was so unexpected that those
about the bedside of the expiring
statesman we're shocked beyond
measure and have not recovered
from the blow yet. Senator Bate
was conscious to the very last min
ute, and just before the end came
he gave directions that he should
be buried in Mount Olivet at Nash
vile.
"Take me back to Tennessee" he
said almost with his last breath.
II want to be buried in old Mount
Olivet with my kindred"
The last wishes of General Bate
have been complied with, and his
remains now sleep in the family
lot at Mount Olivet. The obse-
quies held over his remains Mon
day at Nashville will be remem-
bered as the most impressive event
in the history of that city.
Senator Bate was rs years old.
He has served his State eighteen
years, or three full terms, in the
highest Office the State can bestow,
and he was just entering upon his
fourth term, having been sworn in
the first of last week at the extra
session of the Senate. .Inthe Sen
ate he had the highest esteem and
admiration of his colleagues, both
Democratic and Republican, dur
ing all of the years Of his service.
Despite his advanced age, he was
active, energetic and faithful in
the very highest degree, and his
death will remove one of the his
toric figures of the Senate cham
ber, as we'll as one of that august
body's ablest members.
Senator Bate was born October
7, 1926, near Castalian Springs, in
this State, and received an aca-
demic education. In his youth he
served as clerk Oh a steamboat be-
tween Nashville and New Orleans,
served as private throughout the
Mexican war, a year later he was
elected to the legislature, gradual
ed from. the Lebanon law school in
1852, was encouragement for the
Nashville district six years, de-
clined nomination for Congress,
was Presidential elector in 1860
on the Breckinridge-Lane ticket,
was private, captain, colonel, brig
adler general and major general in
the Confederate service, surren-

PROFESSOR CALLS BILL
"QUEER SORT OF MEASURE''
Head of Uniyersity's Agricultural De-
partment Expresses Opinion of
Proposed LEGISLATION.

BERKELEY, Feb. 9.-Professor E.
w. Hilgard, dean of the agricultural
department of the university, to-day
received from Sacramento copies of
bill, numbered 425, introduced by
Senator Emmons one of the quartet
accused of accepting bribes. The bill
amazed Professor Hilgard and he
promptly styled it a freak measure"
He will begin an investigation to
learn, if possible, the object of those
who are supporting it.
The bill referred to is merely a
copy of the fertilizer control bill
adopted in 1903, retaining the features
that were objected to at that time and
later removed.
was a provision requiring those who
handled fertilizers to ascertain and
certify that no contagious diseases
had existed in fields from which the
fertilizing base was secured.
This would have worked a hard
ship on fertilizing men, who could not,
for example, make any such investiga-
ton in foreign countries" said Profess
sor Hilgard to-day, "and SO it was
stricken out, yet 1 see that it, with
other Objectionable clauses, is in this
bill No. 425. The bill even contains
the clause appropriating $500 for a
fertilizer testing laboratory, which
money has been used to build the lab
oratory We now have. There must be
something wrong with the bill and
we propose to investigate It."
