Sixty days more has been allowed
the Warren construction company
for completing its paving contract,
and as a result 1t will doubtless finish
Its work without having to pay any
of the $40 per day penalty. At the
council meeting last evening Frank
Reese. representative of the company,
requested the council to take the above
action and told of the difficulties
that the company has met with. At
the conclusion of his remarks Coun-
Gilman Rem and others declared they
believed the Warren people had been
doing everything in their power to
hasten the work. 1t was then moved
by Councilman Murphy that the so
days extension be granted. and the
proposition carried unanimously
In thanking the council for the ac-
ton taken Mr.. Reese said:
1--WE really will not need the so
days, for if we can get our engines
here soon we can finish in 80 days.
However. we did not want to have to
come before the council later asking
for another extension. I can pledge
you that the company will not take
improper advantage of the extension,
but will rush the work just as fast as
IT can."
AT the conclusion of his remarks
the Warren representative also took
occasion to say that he appreciated
the treatment he and his company
had received in Pendleton. This
brought forth return compliments
from the mayor and others. for
though the paving company has not
paved much yet, the people in charge
have been very reasonable and cour-
teous while here, and a good feeling
exists between them and the MEM
bers of the council.
New Street Commissioner.
During the meeting last evening
Mayor Fee appointed John Glasscock
as street commissioner for the city.
In doing so he stated that he believed
Mr.. Glasscock to be duly qualified
for the place and by reason of his

Thompson as a fourth member of
that committee.
As chairman of the levee commit
tee Councilman Hinkle asked that or
ders be given by the council for the
removal of the w. F. Matlock barn

the new levee right of way, and the
committee was authorized to have
the obstruction removed. Permis-
sion to remove the barn was given
some time ago by Mr.. Matlock.
The levee bond issue OF $4,000
was voted to the Bankers & Lumber
mems bank of Portland, upon the
presentation of their certified check
for $500. This institution offered a
premium of s451 for the bonds, and

DRAGGED FROM WHITE HOUSE
Officers Eject Woman Who Insisted on
SEEING President.

For insisting that she must see the
President and declaring she would
not leave the White House Offices I'M
til she had seen him, Mrs. Minor
Morris, q sister of Congressman Hull,
Of Iowa, chairman of the House com
mittee military affairs, was seized by
two officers on duty there, dragged
screaming and protesting from the
building over the wet and muddy
pavement in front, and through long
underground corridor the whole width
of the White House grounds TO the
Eastern entrance to which visitors
are admitted to the official levees,
where she was bundled into a cab and
taken to the house of detention. Mrs.
Morris resides with her husband, who
is physician, on Massachusetts
avenue in the most fashionable part
of the city. Mrs. Morris bore every
external indication of being a woman
of refinement and while she showed
some excitement when insisting on her
right to remain in the White House
Office until she could see the Presi
dent, no one could have mistaken her
for an ordinary crank or dangerous
person.
Her husband, DR.. Morris. held a
position in the army medical museum
until recently, when he was removed
for striking a superior during an alter
cation. 1t was for the purpose of re-
auesting his reinstatement that she

REBELS STRONG IN BALT|CS
Several Attempts Are Made To
Wreck Military Train.
WHITES MOTIVES iMPuGNED
Reform viii Not Be Abandoned by
Premier, Though "Reds' Are
Defeated.

The situation in the Baltic pro-
vinces is still critical. The military
at Reval. Nitau and Riga are adopt
ing the most energetic measures. A
stationmaster, who refused to send

The "Molva" (Russ) says that
Count Sosky's commission has de-
into an upper house consisting of 100
members, so of whom will be appoint
ed and 80 elected.
The ''Slovo," the conservative or
gan, which recently turned upon
Count Witte, delivers broadside, not
only impugning the motives of the
premier in the present war against
the "reds," but openly attacking the
records of members of the cabinet.
1t says:
"Witte is a good deal of broker
and something of a journalist, but at
heart he is political gambler and
lacks the ring of sincerity. No gov
ernment without honesty can inspire
confidence.
The governments strongly worded
announcement that it proposes to
pursue TO the bitter end the policy of
putting down the ''reds, following on
the heels of the crushing of the re-
volt at Moscow. demonstrates the
confidence of Premier Wittes govern
ment that it has the ability to COM
plete the task it has undertaken. The
main cause of this confidence Is the
fidelity displayed by the troops.
Despite the rigorous. ruthless fash
ion In which the war against the
"Reds' is conducted the government
is taking every opportunity by word
and act to try TO prove to the pub
lice that the repression of the revo-
lutiOnsts does not involve the aband-
onmcnt of the reform program, but
that the new regime may be realized.

GOVERNOR MURDERED
Assassinated by Dynamite Bomb
Placed at Back ate.
STRIKERS BLAMED WITH CRIME
Believed That Murder Resulted from
Steunenberg's Activity in Crush
ing Riots at Coeur d'Alene.

Former Gov. Frank Steunenberg
was assassinated at his home at Cald-
well, Idaho, by means Of dynamite
bombs. The murderer adopted a
method almost identical with that
used when two Creations, Miloyar
Kovovick and Milovar Pattrovick,
killed for robbery Contractor Samuel
T. Ferguson. at West Middletown,
Pa, in September, 1908. They used
dynamite to blow up the buggy in
which Ferguson was riding exploding
II from some distance by means of n
wire and an electric battery. This
was the plan used by the slayer Of
Steunenberg.
Two dynamite bombs were placed
home. To them was affixed wire
insulated in waxed fishing line. This
wire led to convenient nook some
distance away, where the murderer
hid and exploded the bombs, undoubt-
edly with a battery, when Steunen-
berg paused near the bombs to close
the gate, after passing into the yard
of his home.
Steunenberg was terribly wounded,
the right arm being nearly torn off.
His right side was fearfully torn, the
right leg being mangled and shatter-
ed. The left leg was also mangled.
Portions of clothing were scattered
for 80 yards. The victim was thrown
10 feet from the gate, where small
hole 10 inches in depth, shows the
spot where the bombs lay. The gate
is gone, not a splinter being found.
All the windows in the rear side of
the house were broken, and much
glass was broken in other houses in
the neighbOrhood.
The conviction grows that Steunen-
berg was murdered as result of his
activity in crushing the miners strike
riots at Occur d'Alene in 1899. On
this theory one man was arrested.
but his name is kept secret by the
police, who say the evidence against
the prisoner is strong. Five other
men have been detained on suspic-
ion.

Twenty-three miners in the Coal
dale company's shaft at Coaldale, w.

ment throughout the surrounding

soon began work. They were unable
to accomplish anything until new fans

after several hours work. They were
carried from the shaft to house ad-
joining the big tippie at the mine en-
row.
The big timbers used for holding
up the top of the mine were hurled
from the drifts, one piece going across
a narrow valley, moving down small
trees on the opposite side. Mine
cars were blown out of the opening
and wrecked about the entrance and
material, tools and appliances were
scattered about in confusion. Four
mine mules were killed.

arrange systematic relief.
