JUDGE SWAYNE is ACQUITTED
Senate Declares Him Innocent on All
Of the Dozen Charges.

of the Dozen Charges.
Washington, March 1.-Charles S.
Swayne, United States Judge for the
Northern district of Florida, was yes
terday formally acquitted by the SEN
ate on each of the twelve articles of
impeachment presented by the house,
accusing him of high crimes and mis-
demeanors."
The vote did not vary from partisan
lines. the Republicans generally ia
voring acauittal and the Democrats
conviction, although there were a few
exceptions on each of the articles.
The vote against Judge Swayne varied
all the way from 81 for conviction on
the Imprisonment for contempt
charge. down to Is on the charge of
using a private car belonging to a
railway company for which he had ap-
pointed a receiver. AS 50 senators
were present and voting, it required
SIS to convict. There were Is votes
lacking on the charge of unjust inn
prisonment.

Swayne will soon send his resignation
to the president. but this is doubtful.
1t is said that ne desired a ~vindlcatlon
before leaving the bench, blu does not
care to serve longer in a district hos
tile to him. He will be eligible for re-
tirement in seven years.
1t was evident from the outset that
a conviction could not be obtained. A
majority of the senators believed hat
the charges were inspired through
personal malice and were prosecuted
in order that the house managers
might secure the glory of figuring
prominently in impeachment proceed
ings. The testimony taken before the
house judiciary committee, where the
articles of impeachment were based.
had been read by senators and
Pronounced Trivial
and Of not sufficient importance to
justify a conviction for high crimes
and misdemeanors." In addition, the
trial came at an i%nopportune time,
when the senate was o~vercrowded
with pressing business, and senators
resented this encroachment upon
their time.
Judge Swayne was not present yes
terday when the votes were AIKEN.
He occupied a. seat in the presidents
room, just out side the senate cham-
Der. The various votes were taken to
him by his counsel. Five of the house
managers witnessed the closing pro-
ceedings. There was the usual large
attendance of spectators.

Seven miles of railroad reaching
from Hilgard southwark up the Grand
Ronde river, will be constructed this
season, work to begin at once on the
grade.
The Grand Ronde Lumber company
of Perry, will build this road to be
used as a logging road at first, and
has ordered an engine and 12 cars and
seven miles of rails as equipment for
the system. The rails will begin to ar
rive soon and several hundred men
and teams will be employed on the
grade.
The company will use 1t at first as
a logging road, strictly, as it is impos-
sible to reach the timber belt by teams
and river drives with any success
owing to the fact that the timber
along the river has been culled out.
But as the road is extended up the
Grand Ronde, it will be made a means
of traffic for the upper river points,
several rich mining camps and farm
ing districts being tributary to the pro-
posed route.
F. S. Murphy, manager of the Grand
Ronde Lumber company at Perry, will
have charge of the construction of the
road.

clients, all the replies to the indict-

and the court by which Hermann will
benefit by the plea in abatement made
by Senator Mitchell should the senator

ment of proceedings because of some
technical irregularity of the formation

There is little hope that such a

however, as it requires but IL grand

men passed upon the evidence before

Indorse Alexander.

New York, April 1S.-The general
agents of the Equitable this after
noon adopted unanimously resolu-
ton prepared by President Alexan-
der, indorsing his management, and
pledging the support of the general
agents to Alexander in his move for
the naturalization of the. company.
Some time ago President Alexander
delivered his ultimatum to Mr.. Hyde
when the two men were face to face.
The aged, white-haired man, who
was an officer of the Equitable be-
fore young Mr.. Hyde was born, and
who was the dearest and closest per-
sonal friend of the late Henry B.
Hyde, trembled with rage and indig-
nation. Mr.. Hyde was almost wild
with anger.
Mr.. Hyde at that time was told
that he must either retire forthwith
as an active officer of the Equitable
Life, which his father founded, or
face complete exposure.
Alexander threatened to go before
the attorney general without delay
and demand of him a complete and
far-reaching investigation of the af-
fairs of the Equitable society.
He said: 81 shall lay before him
books and records of the Equitable
society to convince him that such an
investigation is imperative for the
protection of the interests of policy
holders.
II shall Furthermore make public
statement to the policy holders
over my own name which will include
all of the charges 1 made against
you when the executive heads of the
society petitioned the directors not
to elect you as vice president"
This meeting will probably result
in a peaceful settlement of the COM
pany's affairs, Alexander having
gained his point.

Smooth Crook Robs Stranger I'm a

Portland, April 1s.-J. w. Landon,
of North Yakima, was robbed OF
$1735 in a restaurant in the north
end-a time deposit check for $500,
which could be readily cashed, and
$35 In cash.

stopped at the first restaurant he
came to TO get lunch, He had
been seated only a minute or two
when a we'll dressed stranger took a
seat next to him at the table. The
newcomer dropped a napkin and in
reaching for it brushed his shoulder
against the victim, for which he apol-
ogized and soon after took his de-
parture.
Whe nLandon got up to pay his
bill he hadn't a nickle left. His
purse containing $35 in gold and sill
yer, and the check were both miss
ing. The check was in a vest pock-
ct and the end of it had evidently
protruded and had been noticed by
the stranger.

HE WILL SERVE TILL l
JUNE IF DESIRED.
Who VIII Be His Successor?-B1ar-
shal Carney Has Given the Best OF
Satisfaction and His Resignation Is
Regretted-He viii Devote His
Time to His Livery Business.

Marshal Carney has notified the
members of the council that it Is his
desire to retire from his office in the
near future and 1t is now up to the
city dads to find a suitable successor.
To the East Oregonian this morning
Mr.. Carney stated that he felt COM
PEELED to resign in order to give his
attention to the livery business in
which he is a partner. However, he
will probably serve until June 1 IL
such is wished. The firm of Carney
& Kennedy has leased the new Per-
ringer stable on Thompson street, and
their lease calls for the completion Of
the building by May Is. When the
removal is made the business will be
considerably enlarged and as a result
the personal attention of both part
ners will be needed. Under the pres
ent arrangement Mr.. Carney employs
man to make up for his absence
from the business and when the
amount paid for this mans wages Is
, deducted from the marshars salary
the amount left is not sufficient to pay
for the worry of the position. :
AS to who Will be the successor to-
Marshal Carney nothing has yet been
decided and possibly will not be until
some time in May. Among those who
are mentioned for the place is Night
Policeman o. w. Coffman, who has
been on the force for over a year
and has shown himself to be an Of
ficer of vigor and courage.
Regret has been expressed by the
mayor and members of the council.
at Marshal Carney's retirement. He
has been filling the position to their
satisfaction and while matters are
running smoothly no change is desir-
ed.
Although he will be in office but a
month or so longer, the marshal stat
ed this morning that he proposes to
keep up the fight instituted by the
school board to keep minors from
saloons and that those violating the
ordinance on that subject will be ar
rested.
Under the present charter of PEN
dleton the city marshal is appointed
by the city council and unless he re-
signs or is removed, holds office dur
ing the life of the council. The pres
ent city officials hold until the last
of this year and Marshal Carney's
term would extend to then should he
continue in office. Under the system
in vogue here the marshal is under the
immediate direction OF the council
and must fill his office according to
their wishes.

Madison streets. A mob numbering
1000 people gathered about the street
car on which were riding two colored
men who had driven a wagon to
Montgomery, Ward & Co.'s. Stones
and sticks were hurled at the car
and in a twinkling every window in
the car was smashed. Two police
men, in order to protect the colored
men, placed them under arrest. A
riot call was sent to the central sta
ton, and 1t required the 20 officers
who responded 80 minutes time to
drive the crowd away, and open the
streets to traffic.
