SNYDER KNEW TOO MUCH AND WAS PUT OUT OF WAY
Young Mssouran, Who Served Term in Prison, Supposed
to Have Been Killed in Oregon by Man Who
Robbed Forest Grove Bank

Kansas City, Jan. 19.-R. n. Snyder, a
well known financier of New York, re-
ceived a telegram from Portland, Ore,
today indicating that his son, Carey
Snyder, had been murdered by men sus-
pected of a bank robbery concerning
which young Snyder was supposed to
know too much. The bank robbed was
at Forest Grove, Ore, and the authorities
at Forest Grove and Portland notified the
police Of this city tonight that they sus-
pected Carey Snyder, "Pinky' Blitz and
George Perry of committing the robbery.
BlitZ and Perry, who are cousins, are
notorious police characters here, and
Snyder has been involved in serious
trouble.
Father VIII Investigate.
r. NJ. Snyder said today that he did not
believe his son had been killed, but that
he would go to Portland soon to investi-
gate the case. He thinks that his son
has run away to escape trial on q charge
of shooting cattle which has been pre-
ferred against him in Oregon.
Biitz was released from the peniten-
ti&ry of Missouri about year ago. when
he completed a sentence for swindling in
this city. BlitZ has been charged with
numerous offenses in this city and St.

BIGELOW WILL
60 UNPUBLISHED
Senate Committee Held Another Ses-
sion, but the Writer Was
Not Certified.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The senate COM
mittee on inter-oceanic canals postponed
Until next week reconsideration Of the
contumacy of Poultney Bigelow in refus-
ing TO answer questions as to where he
got his information in regard to the
conditions on the isthmus. It is believed
that he will go UNPUBLISHED.
Before the meeting several members
said they had slept over the case and
are now disposed not to make a mar
tyr of a witness, whose testimony ap-
peared to be of too little value to dig
Nifty his conduct with summary punish
ment.''
It was decided that further discussion
in executive session should be had, how
ever, to determine whether the witness
should be given another opportunity TO
become amenabIe to the demands made
Of him.
Contrary to Law.
Senator Hopkins offered a resolution
certifying Mr.. Bigelow for contumacy to
the vice president for action in the
courts, and asked that it be adopted.
Several Democratic senators opposed this
course, and Senator Simmons addressed
the committee at length. He declared
that it was an extraordinary penalty
that was proposed and contrary to com
mon law. He suggested that the courts
n,
which. he asserted would prove embar-
RAISING. Concerning Mr.. Bigelow's arti-
cles, the senator said that there had been
many other articles written against the
canal management by other writer's
equally bitter, who have not been called
into disrepute, and that this one ap-
peared to have been singled out by the
president for a denunciatory reply.
Would Mean intimidation.
The course Of the committee, if it
should proceed against Mr. BigeloW,
said the senator, would be to intimidate
witnesses and would be bad policy so
early in the canal investigation. He
said that much of the news printed by
newspaper men employed at the capital
is obtained from confidential sources,
and that if the committee is to declare
that these condolences are to be Violated
it would at once array the press of the
country against the committee. He closed
with the statement that he would never
sigr a resolution to certify the case to
the courts, and he was joined in this by
Senators German and TaliaferrO.
Several other senators expressing
doubt as to whether Mr.. Bigelow's testi-
mony was Of sufficient value to justify
the committee in making d martyr Of
him, Senator Hopkins withdrew his re-
solution.

INCREASE IN WAGES.
United Mine Workers Expect the Old
Scale VIII Be Restored,

indianapolis. Jan. 19.-An increase in
the wages Of coal miners equivalent to
the reduction accepted by the United
Mine Workers in the joint wage confer
ence of 1904, is the proposition which the
operators are expected to defend In the
Joint conference to convene in Indian
apolis next Tuesday upon the adjourn
ment of the present annual convention OF
the United Mine Workers
While none Of the operators will talk
for publication at this time, it is evident
that their position will be that. while
they have enjoyed decree of prosperity
within the last ten months, their receipts
have been nothing like what the miners
believe them to be, and that an increase
of about per cent is the best they can
do.

Perry was seen in Independence, Mo-
as late as last Monday. He was well
dressed and seemed to be we'll supplied
with money. About three years ago he

arrested last November, charged with
shooting a neighbours cattle, and was re-

Perry, who had been his chum, disap-
peared. Officers have not been able to
find either since then.

DEBATE ON RESOLUTION
PROPOSAL DEFEATED BY DECl-
SIVE VOTE.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 19.-The con-
vention of the United Mine Workers Of
America today continued the consider
alton of resolutions. One Of the most
important taken up was a resolution
favOring the acceptance OF transfer
cards from the Western Federation of
Miners in lieu of an initiation fee. 1t
was claimed on behalf of the resolution
that the refusal Of the United Mine
Workers of America to accept the cards
of the Western Federation worked
great hardship to western miners on
account of the frequency with which
they change camps. One of those to
support the resolution was Delegate
GeTmer of Iowa.
During his argument to the conven-
ton he made the statement that the
present situation between the two or
CARNATIONS was caused by an antagO-
nism between their officials which had

Washington, Jan. 19-Broad charges as

consult the five native members of the
body and do not even invite them to
meetings of the council: This body is
both executive and legislative in it's func-
tons, and stands in the relation of q

MitcheIPs Speech.

President Mitchell took the floor as
soon as Mr.. Germer had finished.
He denied that he had ever made a
personal attack upon any of the officers
of the Western Federation, yet every
issue of the organ of that association
contains false, vicious and malicious
attacks upon me as your president. Am
I not maligned and traduced in every
issue of that paper? I am called fakir
and viper and charged with associating
with the enemies of the miners.

Makes Some Charges.

In 1899, at the Pittsburg convention,
recommended that recognition of the
cards Of the Western Federation. Two
years ago, on my advice, a committee
from this organization went to them
with the intention of arranging for the
transfer Of cards and an adjustment OF
jurisdiction. Did they recognize them
No. They tried their best to inv 3e our
jurisdiction. That's the kind of friend
ship they gave US, and that's the kind
of friendship they are extending to us
now. They hope by destroying me ia
destroy you. When the federation stops
its efforts to tear US down and stops
sending it's members to take the places
OF our striking miners, as it did in Colo
RADIO. it will then be time enough tC
consider this proposition Let them
stop taking our jobs
Resolution Defeated.
The proposition to accept the cards OF
the Western Federation of Miners was
lost by a decisive vote.

Weekly Crop Report.

The week opened and closed showery
and cool, with an intervening period
Of from two to three days with
mild temperatures and clear skies.
The rains on Tuesday and Wednesday
were excessive over limited localities
in the northeast section of the state.
The Unatilla River overfowed its
banks. and did considerable damage
to the streets in the city of Pendleton
and to the bridges and fences along its
course from that city to its mouth at
Umatilla. In few other localities
in that section farm lands were badly
washed by heavy rains, but the good
done in the larger territory where the
rains were only moderate, much more
than compensated for the damage
done in the few limited areas where
they were excessive. Friday morning
the temperature was dangerously neal
the frost mark, both in the eastern anG
western portions of the State, but nj
frosts were reported The winds dur
ing the week were generally light snC
mostly from the west, but some of the
rain squalls were attended by vino

Farmers daughters Contest.
Merlin. Ore, June 8. 1906.

One of the biggest schemes for ad-
vertising Oregon has been undertaken
in Portland by Philip s. Bates, pub
Usher of Oregon's great agricultural
monthly. the Pacific Northwest. The
proposition is nothing less than the
taking of 33 young ladies, one from
each county of the state to the James
town Exposition which will open
May 10, 1907, at jamestown, Virginia.
The exposition is to commemorate
the first settlement of the English in
the United States which took place in
1907. This historical event in the
history of our country is one which
gives opportunity for wonderful ex-
ploitation Of the great strides which
have taken place in the past 300 years
and the Jamestown Exposition, from
an educational standpoint, will ni
doubt prove an exceptional undertak
ing along these lines. One farmer,
daughter from each county in Oregon
will be taken by Mr.. Bates. She will
carry large amount of literature fol-
general distribution along the line,
of travel which it is expected oul
Boards of Trade Will furnish.
The method of choosing our candi
date rests wholly with the farmers
daughters of our county. They ar,
all entitled to compete for the honor
1t is a simple proposition depending
ON the number Of subscriptions sent il
by the candidates. The cost of the
paper is 90 cents year and from oul
knowledge is fully worth a dollar
All expenses will be paid and the es
timated cost of the trip is over $40, 600
IL will prove a wonderful advertise
ment for our county as Mr. Bate
makes no charge for the work he will
do for MS and we trust his efforts t,
make Oregon better known through
out the United States will receive tn,
support Of everyone in our county.
Very respectfully,
PHILIP S. BATES, Publisher.
