Chairman ShOntS Calls for End to
Delay Owe. Plans.
LOCK CANAL IS The BEST TYPE
Accuses Congress of Throwing OBJ
stacles in the Way of Benefits
to Present Generation

Atlanta, Ca, May 81 Theodore P.
Shonts, chairman of the Panama canal
commission, as the guest today of At
lanta friends. He delivered two ad-
dresses. The first was at the dedica-
ton of new building at Agnes Scott
Institute, college for women, in De-
catur, a suburb of Atlanta. The Sec
ond was delivered this evening before
the chamber of commerce, in which he
spoke OF the relations of the south to
the Panama canal. He took strong
ground in advocacy OF the lock canal
system.
Mr.. Shonts said that between the
time of the selling of the supplies
which will enter into the construction
of the Panama canal and the period
when the opening of the canal will re-
suit in the development of the country
a gulf is fixed. How great and how
wide that gulf is will depend OH the
type of canal selected. Mr.. Shonts
spoke in favor of lock canal as recon-
mended by the minority OF the consult
ing board and Endorsed by the canal
commission. He said, in conclusion {:
"The practical question for all sec
tions of the country is, How long shall
we wait before We can enter upon the
period of development which the open-
ing of the canal will bring to the coun-
try? l am not surprised that European
countries are Indifferent to the early
completion of this canal. l am not
surpr sed that they are Indifferent as to
how much this canal may cost our gov
eminent. l am not surprised that they
can view calmly an indefinite postpone
ment of the operation of this great
waterway. They are neither paying
the bills nor will their commerce and
industries suffer by waiting for the
completion of this undertaking.
"But I am surprised that those who
are supposed to represent the best in
terests of the American people should
try to throw obstacles in the way OF
realizing the benefits Of this work at
the earliest possible date. When we
can get better canal for less money
and receive the benefits ourselves, why
wait? Why make it heritage to our
children, with the possibility of their
being deprived of it's benefits through
some unforeseen contingency? l have
spoken of gulf. Now how wide that
guilt shall be depends on the people.
Do you want to reap the benefits OF
this undertaking yourselves, or do you
want to transmit hope to your child
rem or your children's children?''

Trial is Postponed.

Caldwell, Idaho, June 1.-When the
cases of Charles H. Meyer, William D.
Haywood and George A. Pettibone,
charged with the murder of former
Governor Frank Steunenberg, came up
in the district court yesterday, counsel
for the prosecution, acting upon the
suggestion made on Tuesday by Presid-
ing Judge Frank Smith, filed formal
motion for a continuance on the ground
that the habeas corpus proceedings in
stituted in the Federal courts in behalf
of the defendants are still pending and
serve as a bar to further proceedings in
the state court until decision shall
have been rendered by the Federal Su-
preme court. Judge Smith granted the
motion, and exceptions were entered by
the defense and allowed. 1t is not
likely that the case can be taken up
again before December.

LOSS WILL BE HEAVY.
Heavy Rainfall in Eastern Oregon and
Washington Destroyed Crops.

Pendleton, Or, June l. - Umatilla
county has lost by conservative esti-
mate at least 81 800, 600 by reason of
the food. 1t is impossible to give de-
tailed figures, for the waters in Mckay
creek and Birch creek, in the Milton
country, at Weston and the Umatilla
river are raging. and the fields are still
flooded and out of sight. On every
hand, however, as the water recedes,
are left fields of alfalfa coated thick.and
weighted down with slime and silt. 1t
is worthless waste, and must not
only be cut down but taken from the
fields before other crops can be grown.
Practically all of the alfalfa crops of
Mckay creek are ruined. The terri
tory varies from 100 feet to a quarter OF
mile in width and is from Is to 20
miles in length. All of the bridges are
out, the water, though falling, is still
raging and no definite information can
be secured.
At Weston the town was damaged to
the extent of $4,000 and the same
amount was lost in the immediate vi.
entity In ga hours So inches of rain
fell, while on Weston mountain the
fall was from 9 to 10 iuches. Four
out Of seven bridges are washed out
and three small store buildings were
washed into the river.
The greatest damage, perhaps, is due
to stock losses in the mountain ranges
Thousands of sheep had just been

storm swept into the mountains with
an advance guard Of cold fog, followed
by heavy rain and snow. In the face
of this blizzard the herders in many
instances deserted their hocks; leaving
2 900 and 5000 head to their fate.
Reports beginning to come in tell OF
disaster, though everything is unau-
thentic as yet. Hemphill lost his en-
tire band of 5000 sheep. j. E. Smith
lost 900 and Gus Lafontalne 1000.
Douglas Belts herder left, 5000 to take
car OF themselves.
At Milton the loss will reach into
the thousands. The orchards are
flooded and the fruit trees covered with
mud and slime. The alfalfa fields are
masses of sediment, as are the straw
berries, but the latter will not all be
lost. 1t is hard to put an estimate on
Milton'e damage, because many OF the
fields will be saved. The estimate OF
damage is made by those who are IA
miliar with the country and who know
the area and the value of the crops. No
actual figures are as yet forthcoming.
In Pendleton the loss will be great
on account of the stocks of merchandise
flooded in the cellars, and the broken
leyee and consequent flooding of homes.
A conservative estimate of the damage
here is $50, 900. =

Supreme Judge Brown Retires.

Washington, May S0.-Oficial an
nouncement of the retirement of JUS
tice Brown from the Supreme court of
the United States was made yesterday
by Chief Justice Fuller. In making
the statement he gave out the corre-
srondence between the retiring justice
and the court, in which the eight col.
leagues of Justice Brown expressed
their high appreciation OF him as JUS
tice. Justice Brown replied in fitting
terms to the members of the court,

Walla Walla, Wash, June AFTER
four days and nights of drenchiDg,
Walla Walla and the surrounding coun-
try are gradually recovering from the
unequaled torrents of water poured in;
to the river and streams and submerg-
ing the fields. The big plants depend
ent upon the electric power company
are still out of business, but there is
hope now that within ten days the
power will be supplied.
The damage done by the high water
has been immense, but the reports
coming in today show that the greater
actual loss will fall upon the farmers
and the truitgrowers. A conservative
estimate of the damage done to crops
places the loss at $25O,0OO. This is
not an exaggeration, as from all parts
of the county come reports of bridges
swept away, houses inundated and
crops destroyed.

PASS DISEASED MEAT.
Special Commissioners Reynolds Saw
1t Done in Chicago.

Chicago, May 30.-How "a out of 81
diseased cattle were "passed" under
the eyes oil James B. Reynolds, one of
President Roosevelt's special commits
sioners appointed to investigate condi-
tions at the stockyards, was divulged
today by a man who accompanied Rey-
nolds to the plant of the Standard
Strengthening company. This scene die
tated in large measure the report Of
the commissioners and brought about
the inspection bill now before congress.
Mr.. Reynolds reached the slaughter
house shortly after 7 O'Clock. Unknown
to those in the place, he made an ex.-
animation of the cattle in the pen.
There were 81 diseased cattle standing
in the pens when he visited the place.
Without exception, the umps'' in
their jaws, according to the testimony
Of one who was with him, were from
the size of cocoanut to that of peck
measure. Mr.. Reynolds watched these
cattle brought to the killing beds and
slaughtered.
GLOW many of them were condemned
on post-mortem Inspection" he asked
the city inspector, after all had been
killed.
"Seven," replied the Inspector
The commissioner turned away sick
ened.
"What becomes of the products OF
these vats?" asked the commissioner of
Cornelius Short, manager of the
slaughter house.
1.-THE grease goes to the butterine
man and other users of grease, the
solids to the fertilizer"
"What is done with the meat that
passes?" was the next question.
"There are two firms in Chicago
that make business of buying it, and
it is sold to certain restaurants and
hotels"
"There was not a dozen in that
bunch of 81" said the commissioner to
his companion, as he walked out of the
place, "that could rightly have been
passed"
The Standard Strengthening company
was organized during the administra-
ton of Governor John P. Altgeld, who
compelled its establishment so that the
handling of diseased meat could be
centralized and thus better controlled.

OBJECT TO JUDGE SMITH.
Lawyers for Federation Officials Ask
Change of Venue.

Change OF Venue.
Caldwell, Idaho, May S0.-When
the Canyon county district court con-
vened here yesterday morning, the
cases of Charles H. Meyer, William D
Haywood and George A. Pettibone, Off
GERS of the Western Federation of Mi
ners, who are charged with the murder
of Ex-Governor Steunenberg, were call
ed, attorneys for the prisoners immedi-
ately filed notice of alleged disqualifi-
cations which should prevent District
Judge Frank Smith from sitting as trial
Judge, and gave notice OF a motion for
change of venue.
Twenty-six reasons which are alleged
to disqualify Judge Smith are given.
Among other points it is alleged that
Governor Frank R. Gooding has issued
a public manifesto, declaring the guilt
of the defendants and that he has proof
of their guilt.
The fact that Judge Smith is an APP
pointee of the governor is set forth, and
the allegation that he is subject to the
luAuCnCC VI NbO sONCliOA 40 A1hoO' Aho
manner of drawing the grand jury in
this county also is attacked. The petit
ton severely criticises the conduct of
both Governor Gooding and Judge
Smith in relation to these cases.
Before taking any notice of the mo-
ton in behalf of the defendants, James
R. Hawley, chief counsel for the prose-
cution, filed affidavits setting forth the
present status of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings taken to the Federal Supreme
court on appeal from the Federal court
for the district of Idaho. He said the
trial of the defendants could not pro-
coed until the habeas corpus matter
should be disposed of by dismissal or
final decision in the Supreme court.
Nothing was accomplished beyond
submitting to Judge Smith legal points
claimed for the prosecution to be bar
to further proceedings at this time.
An adjournment was taken until Thurs
day.

sermon BY A
PAULIS1 FATHER

Very Rev. Henry H. Wyman preach
ed at the Roman Catholic cathedral
last evening. He said in part: I'VE
do not realize what it is to offend God,
because we do not see God in this life,
but the time will surely come for each
one of us. when we viii be brought
face tc face with God at the dread
moment of death. We may ina CINE
that our house is secure and at peace;
so it was with Jerusalem when it had
offended God It's temple was bright
and beautiful, but our Lord said that
stone shall not be left upon stone, that
shall not be thrown down.
.Ah, the history of the world is a
sermon on mortal sin-but to know this
is not enough to know the real evil
of mortal sin. The enormity of mortal
sin can only be measured by Him who
is offended by it. 1t is therefore as
great an evil as God is great and
good.
"Sin is something which God neces-
sarily hates; we might as we'll try to
persuade God to be less God than He
is, as to try to persuade Him to hate
sin less than He does. A soul in the
state of mortal sin could no more
dwell in the presence of God, in eter-
nifty. than light and darkness could
dwell together in the same place. God
die not wish to make hell. Mortin sin
forced Him to make it. He could not
be God and not cast out forever the
soul that is disfgured by it. What is
the remedy" cried the forcible Preach
er. .Penance is the remedy and pen
ance must be done If the sinner
shall depart from his wickedness and
shall do judgment and justice, he shall
surely live, saith the Lord. None of
his sins which he hath committed shall
be imputed to Him, he hath done judg-
ment and justice. He shall surely

RELEASED
Warrant of Arrest Was
Defective and Does
Not Hold.

Before the charge against W. c. Pea
before on a warrant from the Treasury
Department, could be read in the po-
lice court yesterday morning, his at
torneys, r. w. Breckons and c. w.
Ashford, brought up the question of the
validity of the arrest. The warrant of
arrest had been sworn out against the
corporation of w. C. Peacock & Co.,
Ltd, of which Mr.. Peacock is the pres
ident On this warrant, the attorneys
argued, the arrest of Mr.. Peacock was
illegal and of no force.
The same argument had been used
in the case against Che But Hin. the
head of a corporation, against which
the warrant had been made out, but
in this case County Prosecutor An
drade had met the objection by stating
that the accused had not yet been
charged and the case went over until
today. The same thing coming up in
the Peacock case, the accused was dis
charged.
It is understood that new warrants
which will meet the objections raised
will be sworn out against Mr.. Peacock
and Che But Hin.
Dates for the trials of the other
saloonkeepers, charged with selling
adulterated liquors, were set. j. K.
will Dacaro
Der II, the same date being accorded
to Sing 10y. r. w. Condor will be
called on the 9Th and H. A. Juen on
the 18th.
The Iwilei contingent were again out
in force, ]. j. Morch, accused of pro-
curing, being committed for trial at
the Circuit Court, and Leon Renaut
and L. Leone being remanded until
Friday. The latter pair are charged
with assisting in the business of some
of the houses in the red-light district.
In the afternoon the principals in a
shooting match on Punchbowl were
given an opportunity of discussing
their case oefore Judge Whitney. In
this ]. G. Clements. a milkman. was
the complaining witness against Joe
Roman, a resident of Canavarro lane.
Clement was delivering milk on Sunday
morning at house next door to Ro-
mans dwelling and had stepped back
into the lane when Roman suddenly
opened a door in his face and began
shooting at him.
Clements was frightened, but not so
much so that he was unable to swear
that one of the bullets went within
two inches of his left ear. He hur-
riedly departed from the scene of the
shooting after that, beating the second
bullet to the corner. In giving his tes-
timony the milkman grew very pathe-
tic at times, calling the attention of
the court to the fact that a widow and
three sorrowing children would have
resulted from his death
He wanted to apologize to me
after said the witness, but suppose
1 go make in that lane how could he
apologize?'
The defendant acknowledged that he
had been probably worse scared than
the complainant, thinking that a burg
lar was before him. He was not so
badly frightened, however, to remem-
Der to point his gun up in the air
when he shot.
Judge Whitney discharged the pri
soner, advising him at the same time
to get rid of his gun as soon as pos
sible.
"a revolver is very little real use in
defending oneself from burglars" said
His Honor, land it usually gets
man into more trouble than it ever
saves him.
