REFERENDUM is SAFE.
Attorney General Crawford Says
States Position Is Secure.

Portland. Sept. 25.-Attorney Gem
eral A. NJ. Crawford arrived from Sa-
lem today and stated that he is pre-
pairing the briefs for the state in its
fight against the Pacific States Tele-
phone company in regard to the gross
earnings of the company in which the
telephone company attacks the con-
stitutionality of the oregon initiative
law.
81 do not fear for the states posi-
ton in this matter" said Mr.. Craw-
ford this afternoon. "The initiative
was enacted simply as a corrective
and does not destroy the representa-
tive form of government Of the state
constitution. The telephone company
has undoubtedly prepared its strong
est case and / will work along the
lines which / have just stated so far
as / can tell at present.
"The reference in its papers filed
by the company to the election of
United States senators by direct leg
islation was done simply to involve the
federal law with a view to carrying
the case to the United States supreme
court should the state be successful
in its fight against the telephone COM
pany in the state courts"

NEW DIOCESE FOR
EASTERN OREGON
EPISCOPAL GROWTH
MAKES STRONG DEMAND
Bishop Scadding Will Forward Re
quest to Episcopal General Conven-
tion for the Creation of an Eastern
Oregon Diocese and the Appoint
ment of Missionary Bishop-Pen-
dlcton the Logical Place for Head
quarters.

The growth of Oregon is again EN-
phatically impressed upon the people
by the demand for a new diocese of
the Episcopal church in eastern Ore
gon and the location of a missionary
bishop, perhaps in this city.
At the present time Bishop Charles
Scadding of Portland covers the en-
tire state, which is a herculean task,
and which it will not be possible to
do, adequately, within a few years,
with the increasing population and
growth of church membership.
Already a sufficient number of
parishes in eastern Oregon have re-
quested the creation of an eastern
Oregon diocese, and next week Bish-
op Scadding of Portland will forward
to the general convention at Rich
mond, Va, formal request for such
a diocese. While nothing is known
in advance, of the location of the
home of the eastern Oregon bishop,
Pendleton being the logical place for
the headquarters, will doubtless be Sc
lected as such.
Rev. Charles Quincy, rector of the
Church of the Redeemer in this city.
in speaking of the probable creation
of a diocese in. eastern Oregon, said
to the East Oregonian today that as
a sufficient number of parishes in
this section of the state have ex-
pressed desire to have such a do
cese there is little doubt about its
creation.
''It would be highly gratifying to
the membership in eastern Oregon to
have bishop directly over their ter
ritory and 1t would relieve the enor-
nous pressure from the shoulders OF
the present bishop, whopresidesover
the entire state. 1t is living evil
dence that Oregon is a great and
growing state, in spiritual as well as
in material progress" said Rev.
Quinney

Harney Land I'm Demand

Homeseekers continue to pour into
Harvey country at a very rapid rate
and the land office is kept quite busy.
says the Burns Times-Herald Al
though Mr.. Hartman continues to be
non-commital as to when he will build
railroad into central oregon, the
vast tracts of land are being taken up
and new homes established. Capital
is being attracted to this section and
some of our vast resources will be
developed as soon as details may be
worked out and various projects
properly launched, The Harvey coun-
try is bound to advance, regardless Of
its isolation from transportation lines
as 1t offers exceptional opportunities,
especially in the way of government
land.

A. D. RHON|MUS
WAS ACQUITTED
JURY REACHED VERDICT
ON SECOND BALLOT.
Aged Slayer of Tom Myers Set Free
After But Brief Discussion of the
Case by the Jury-Statement From
Rhonlmns Says the Verdict Is
Warning to All Thieves-''Thc
County Is Thankful for the Result"
Says the Acquitted Man.

After having taken but two bal
lots the jury In the Rhonimus case
brought In verdict of not guilty at
$3.50 last evening. Consequently the
old man is now free to return to his
ranch on Cabbage hill and again care
for his horses. of which he thinks too
much to brand them.
Though but two ballots were taken
by the jury before arriving at an
agreement 1t was an hour and a half
before the verdict was returned. After
foreman had been selected some
time was passed in discussing the case
and the first ballot taken showed
nine for acquittal and three blanks.
The second ballot resulted unanimous
ly for acquittal.
After the attorneys in the case and
the defendant himself had been sum-
moned the jury filed into the court
room and in response to Judge Beans
inquiry replied they had reached a
verdict. 1t was then passed to the
court and by him to Frank Sailing,
county clerk, who read the verdict
aloud.
RhOnimus Addressed Jury.
1t was some time before Rhonimus
could be made to understand the ma
ture of the verdict because of his
deafness. However, Judge Fee, his
counsel finally conveyed the welcome
tidings to his client and the old fell
low frightened at the news. Imme-
diately after court had adjourned he
stepped before the jury and after
thanking them for the verdict, said.
Gentlemen, the verdict you have
just rendered is warning to thieves
and the country, as well as myself,
will thank you for 1t. You have rem
dered a verdict against the worst
gang of horse thieves that ever dis
graced the country"
