San Francisco, Nov. 22.-An Off
cial reply was made today to the
charge that s1,OOO,OOO relief funds
were diverted or stolen. 1t is de-
clared that every cent is accounted
for except S1OS5 from Searchlight,
New, and 5000 from Baltimore. The
former was never delivered, and the
sum was made good by an express
company a few days since. The lat
ter was delivered TO the Red Cross So
ciety instead of to the San Francisco
Citizens committee.

FoRTY-THREE WE'RE DROWNED
Jcanie's Captain Declares Dix Was to
Blame.

Seattle, Nov. 22.-The revised list
of the missing totals 43, according to
the latest figures, Of whom 81 were
residents of Port Blakley.
At the United States inspectors in
quiry this morning Captain Mason of
the Jeanie, explained the position of
the vessels. He claims the Dix struck
the Jeanie and says that there was
plenty of time for the Dix to lower
her boats If she had been properly
handled. The Jeanie had slowed to
a mile an hour and was backing at
full speed, while the Dix was appar-
emily at full speed ahead. That the
pilot of the Dix changed her course
directly across his bow instead OF
sheering off when the collision was
apparent.

Pension List Shrinking.

Washington. Nov. 22.-The number
Of names on the pension list for the
last IA years has exceeded 100000
every year. on the last day of jan
uary. 1905, the maximum was reached,
the number being 1,OO4,971.
Though the pension commissioner
anticipates a more marked decrease
in the coming year, it is not likely
however, that the decrease in the
number of pensions will be large
enough to affect pension appropria-
ton for some time to come. The
amount paid in pensions for the fiscal
year of 1906. 1896, 237,749, was nearly
as large as that for the year before,
Notwithstanding the decrease in the
number of pensioners. At the close of
the fiscal year there were 666,453
survivors of the war on the rolls,
which represented a decrease for the
wear of 1876, after allowing for the
deaths of army pensioners and the
additions to the roll on original ap-
plications.
The largest increase among the de-
pcndents was OF widows amounting
to more than 5000. The number of
deaths among the widows was 11,25S
and the number of original applica-
tions granted was 16,9S9. The widows
greatly outnumber the survivors.
There are 4540 survivors of the
Mexican war and 1853 widows and of
original applications granted eight
were to survivors and 342 to widows.
The number of pensioners of the
Spanish war ranks next to that of the
civil war. The total on June 80 was
22.621, an increase of 21SO during the
year. The most notable increase is
among the invalids, widows, minor
children, mothers and fathers, and it
may continue for many years.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-11-22

At the council meeting last night
the attention of that august body was
taken up with the problem of how to
meet the city's financial obligations,
while the question of a street sweeper
was also discussed. The latter sub
ject was finally disposed of by a mo-
ton that the recorder advertise for
bids upon a standard two-horse
sweeper. The motion carried, and
bids upon the sweeper will be opened
at the meeting two weeks from to-
night.
What to do with the streets in the
meantime was not fully decided upon.
II was suggested by one member that
the trash be cleaned from the cutters
and the mud flushed into the drain
age sewer by means of water from the
fire hydrants. Councilman McCorm-
mach favored the idea of the street
commissioner or some one under him
working on the crosswalks with
broom.
Owing to the fact that the city has
not yet received its money from the
$4,000 levee bond issue, II is difficult
for the council to meet bills that are
being presented against the levee
fund. Last night a bill from the
Newport Construction company for
sllS4 was before the council. 1t was
suggested by the mayor that Colonel
Newport might be given a mortgage
upon the levee.
"I'll take that, and II it isn't paid
I'll take the levee down 10 Hermis-
ton" replied the contractor, who was
in the audience.
The question was finally settled by
Councilman Murphy moving that a
warrant be drawn upon the levee
fund in payment of the claim.

EX-Mayor w. F. Matlock left this
afternoon for Portland, where he will
be gone a few days on business. The
ex-mayor was informed just before
leaving that the gambling charge
against him had been dismissed.
whereupon he laughed and stated that
If there are any more charges
against me I'll just stay over day or
two and enjoy the fun" Being told
that no other complaints had been
made in which his name was included.

ScImitz in Ignorance of Indictment.

New York, Nov. 22.-The steamer
Patricia bearing Mayor Schmitz. is
expected to arrive late this afternoon.
Out of consideration for Mrs. Schmi;z
it is not expected the mayor will be
arrested upon his arrival. Schmit2
does not know he is indicted, as there
is no wireless equipment of the Pa
tricia, and he will first know Of the
affair probably from the newspaper
men who will board the steamer at
Sandy Hook. 1t is likely he will
waive examination and proceed to
san Francisco Immediately.

second charge against him. After
listening to the testimony of two wit
nesses, one for the city and one for
Endicott, Judge Fitz Gerald gave a
decision of guilty. He then imposed
a fine of s75, or a penalty of 20 days
in Jail. The fine was paid.
The cases in the police court grew
out of the affair in which Endicott
and Roy Stewart are accused of hav-
ing robbed c. w. Biggers of $1,000.
However, they are separate from the
cases in the justice court, where the
two men are charged with larceny
and now bound over to the circuit
court.

Judge Fitz Gerald this afternoon III

pressed by the recorder that his ac-
tion could not be otherwise.

Opinion of the Court.
This matter comes up on motion
of defendant for judgment Of acquittal

failed to pursue the material allega-
tors of the complaint.
The evidence given by plaintiff
was substantially as follows: That the

purposes, with chips or checks on It,
Also some cards and checks in a
drawer in the table and around the
table were seated three persons besides
the defendant; that cards were dealt
but not played, and other cards were
on the table; the cards testified to as
being dealt when produced proved tu
be "jokers," with which no game OF
cards is played: was also testimony

quently seen going up to these rooms.
There was no testimony that any
game was played in the rooms and
no testimony that the checks on the
table were representative of any
value, or that they were ever played
for by any person; or that any money
or other representative Of value was
found in the rooms.
The complaint in this case charges
the defendant as follows: That he did

At Hunts Junction yesterday 127
carloads of Northern Pacific west
bound freight were sidetracked as a
result of the cave-in at a Cascade
tunnel. The 127 cars were loaded
with merchandise consigned to points

consists of holiday goods.

made yesterday to have the o. R. &

taking the freight over Its line. but
the latter company declined to do so.
Owing to the blockade on the North

now being taken out by the w. & c..

Hurts Grain COMPANIES.

The blockade on the Northern Pa
cific is working hardship upon the
grain companies that have wheat
purchased along the W. & c. r. 7.
C. Montgomery, manager in,this coun-
ty for the Puget Sound Warehouse
company, says the grain dealers have
been paying demurrage charges on
ships at Seattle, while at the same
time they have been paying insurance
and losing interest on wheat they
have tied up along the line in this
county.
Previous to the recent blockade
much difficulty was had in shipping
out the wheat of the w. K c. r. Sec
tion, because of the lack of cars. The
disaster at the Cascade tunnel during
the late storm has made the situation
much worse.
