East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-03-20

Stories have just reached here of
"frenzied finance" scheme that has
been worked among the farmers to
the south of Pendleton, and which
in one case at least, has worked sue
cessfully. The gulse under which the
operator worked was that of a graph
ophone agent, and the means by
which the swindle was worked was
cleverly arranged contract or note.
A number of the contracts" were
signed by different ranchers between
here and Pilot Rock, but only one
has thus far found to have paid. This
was by William Ely, who is said to
have paid something over $3.50 for an
outfit that he presumed he was to
get for SIS.
Some time ago an agent canvassed
the section of the county south of
this place, taking orders for a graph
ophone, or phonograph, and neces-
sary supplies. Some six or seven men
are said to have been signed up" in
the neighborhood of Pilot Rock.
According to James Hawkes., who
subscribed, but declined the swindle
his undertaking was that he was to
get the instruments and 20 records
for the sum, of SIS, less a discount of
10 per cent The contract or note
which he hastily signed presumably
read to that effect. However, when
the goods were to be delivered it was
found that the note was so worded in
small type as to make the machine
- lot
When construed in this light the con-
tract or note was made to read for
the sum of 1915.
Across the top of the note was
written in small type, the words:
ut is expressly understood by the
signer of this order that he signs it
upon his own judgment, after due de-
liberation by him, without any undue
influence having been used or relying
on any representations made by me
agent other than written or printed
on this order. It is agreed that after
delivery of goods this order is nego-
table" However, I'm spite of this
warning, the paper was signed by
William Ely, James Hawkes. and a
number of others under the impress
sion that they were buying something
for SIS, less a discount of 10 per cent,
whereas the paper was found to be
quite different.
Worked in Pairs.
As usual in such cases the man
making the delivery was a different
individual from the one who took the
orders In this case the operator
claimed to have had legal training,
and explained how futile it would be
for the different signers to escape
the full payment. However, since
Mr.. Ely had misunderstood the ma
ture of the deal he consented to COM
promise the matter with him by ac-
cepting a check on the Savings bank
for slightly over half the amount,
which would have been $3.50. This
he promptly converted into cash at
the bank, and his present where
abouts is likely not in this vicinity.
When payment was demanded of
James Hawkes. the fellow was turned
down, and Mr.. Hawkes. came to the
city and notified the various banks
not to buy the note should it be pre-
sented to them. Whether or not the
proceedings will at once be under
taken in the courts to compel pay
ment remains to be seen, but it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful.
Form of the Note.

HONEST ElGHT-HOUR LAW
CoLORADo,S NEW GOVERNOR STANDS FOR IT.

Both Parties Have Promised 1t to the
 People and the Promise should be
 Kept-state in Past Year Has Had
 Many Incidents to Regret--own Peo-
 pie Partly to Blame.
 Denver, Col, Jan. 10.--Alva Adams was irlaugurated governor of Colorado to-day Governor Adams in his inau- gural address said:
 During the last two years Colorado has had many incidents to regret, many deeds to deplore, but much of our evil fame is due more to our own exagger- ations that to facts.
 Hereafter when we paint our own pie ture let us use brush that will not hide ali our virtues and intensity our faults. @
 While strikes may not be forbidden, we may dream of the reign of justice, we may hope for conditions and laws that will make strikes unnecessary. First among these enactments in obedi- ence to the expressed mandate of the people should be an honest eight hour law. This both parties promised the people. Let that promise be kept.
 Next, an amendment to the arbitra- tion law which shall require submission to arbitration of any grievance or diff ference between employers and en- ploye. Where the parties to an indus trial conflict honestly confer, a settle nlent is almost certain
