SUPREME COURT
FAVORs TAYLOR
JUDGES RENDERED AN
UNANIMOUS OPINION.
Opinion Is Virtual Custer OF
Schmitz From the Mayoralty of
San Francisco and Gives His Ap-
pointees Authority-Opinion Was
Rendered in the salvation Army
Headquarters.

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-The ques-
tion, Who is mayor of San Francisco? :?
was determined last night in the SAL
walton Army barracks at Fillmore and
Post streets, where the supreme court
of the state, sitting en- banc, decided
In favor of DR.. Edward r. Taylor and
against Eugene f.. Schmitz.
Temporary offices are occupied in
the Central building, at Suffer and
Polk, hut no room there is large
enough for sessions. Yesterday, Su-
perior Judge Cook lent his makeshift
courtroom, the salvation Army bar
racks, and in that bare chamber
whose rude walls give background to
luridly lettered admonitions such as
"The wages of sin is death" BE sure
thy sin will find thee out" and "His
eye is watching thee" the most i'm
portant question in the municipal an
nails OF the state found its answer.
Chief Justice Beatty, flanked on two
sides by Associate Justices Henshaw.
Angellotti and Sloss, Mcfarland, Shaw
and Lorigan, sat on rough platform,
relics of the fire.
Chief Justice Beatty said:
"In the case of McKannay VS.. Nor
ton the court has reached a decision.
and in an opinion find in favor of DR..
Taylor for mayor"
At that there was a great buzz, and
while Colonel Poole, the immemorial
bailiff of the supreme court in San
Francisco. had difficulty preserving
order for adjournment. many lawyers
of state fame crowded about the clerk
for a glimpse of tho typewriter opin-
ion which Justice Beatty handed to
him. The friends of DR.. Taylor
heamed on each other and then
shook hands The followers of
Schmitz, Of whom two score or more
We're there, looked glum.
The opinion was written by the
chief justice and concurred in by the
six associate justices. While It ex-
pressly disavows determination Of
whether or not Schmitz is dc jure
mayor (namely mayor in right, no
cleverness is required to see that the
court does not think he is, and the
standing of DR.. Taylor as de facto
mayor q. e., mayor in facD, is con-
firmed with emphasis. One of the
unstated effects of the opinion is to
uphold the legality of DR.. Taylor's
board of supervisors and discourage
Mr.. Schmitz' recent appointees from
any further efforts to claim seats.
The gist Of the opinion in a nut
shell is that the conviction of Schmitz
of the felony of extortion ousted him
from the mayoralty, and the depend
ency of his appeal does not bar an
incapacitated person from stepping in

LOOK AFTER THE PIPING.
VIII Cost Much Less Now Than After
Macadam l. Down.

The admonition Of Street Commis-
sioner Fletcher to water and gas us
ers and prospective or possible gas
users, and to all who have sewer con-
nections should be scrupulously
needed, as 1t may save much trouble
and considerable expense.
Whoever thinks 1t may be possible
that gas will be used on his premises.
and whoever owns property the wa
ter, sewer or gas connections of
which are In the least defective, should
have the premises piped for gas to
the street mains, and should have all
the sewer and water pipes repaired
to the street mains before the streets
are macadamized undcr the contract
which the Newport company will pro-
ceed to carry out in a few days. To
do this now will save money, as it is
process much more expensive after
the macadam is down, besides being
to certain and sure extent detri-
ment to the macadam.

ZIMMER CONVICTED.
Recalcitrant Witness in Glass Case
Gets Hisn.


San francisco, Aug. 20.--After be-
ing out four hours the jury in the case
of L. j. thinner OF the Pacific States
Telephone company last night return
ed a verdict finding him guilty of a
misdemeanor in refusing to answer a
material question. thinner is the re-
calcitrant witness who figured so
prominently In the first trial of Louis
Glass. The jury retired about 6
o'clock and returned twice to court
FOR instructions.
thinner was to have been sentenc-
ed by Police Judge Weller today, but
when the case was called his attor-
he was not prepared for argument on
his objections to the passing of sem
tence and by consent of the prosecu-
tion the matter was postponed until
next Tuesday. Mr.. Fairall has raised
the point that the verdict of guilty
cannot stand, as the jury was dis
charged before It was recorded.
The defense holds the verdict to be
nullified by the further fact that the
jury failed to find on the interposed
plea OF "once in jeopardy" The
law, as viewed by the defense, will be
stated to the court on Tuesday and a
motion will be made to set aside the
verdict and discharge the defendant.
II this motion is denied, sentence will
be pronounced and an appeal will at
once be carried to the superior court

To exploit the wheat lands of Una
tilla county and the irrigated land
coming under the Furnish project the
Pendleton Investment company is
now conducting an advertising cam
paign that should result in much good
to the county at large as well as to
the irrigation company. In speaking
of the publicity work now being car
ried on Mr.. Adams, sales agent for
the Furnish people, said:
1--WE have just placed display ad-
vertising in 200 country papers in
the middle states and have also fur
nished each paper with other infor-
nation regarding the country and
they are using the same. We have
placed the advertising with small
country papers in portions of Ne
braska, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Iowa
and Illinois. In each instance the
advertisements have called attention
to the opportunities to secure good
farming land in Umatilla county and
the amount of the railroad fare to
Pendleton is given"
In his work of arousing interest in
the Furnish project and attracting
settlers, Mr.. Adams is greatly assist
ed by his extensive knowledge of the
conditions in the middle states. For
several years he was the immigration
agent fer the Union Pacific and
while serving in that capacity became
well acquainted with the various sec
tions Of the country from which he
now hopes &c draw people.
That the advertising his company
is now doing should be of much bene-
fit to the county and city is felt by
Mr.. Adams. "In all Of the railroad
company's advertising" says he,
eastern oregon is referred to in a
general way, but the homeseekers are
all attracted to Portland. When they
reach there they become virtually lost
unless informed in advance regarding
the state. In many cases they find
the land in the vicinity of Portland
or other western oregon counties
extremely high and return home dis
appointed. BY the advertisements we
are now running in the middle states
we hope to attract homeseekers di-
rect to Pendleton ami when they ar
rive here We will take care of them"

the action of the council in passing
resolutions directing the committee

cepting proposals for sale of the

Both Sides Confident.

Portland, Aug. 20.-The beginning
of the second week of the struggle
between the telegraph companies and
striking telegraphers finds both sides
confident of victory. The companies
allege. that business is being handled
with but slight delay, while leaders
of the strikers as various cities in the
country declare that there is almost
a complete tie-up and that little, If
any business is being moved.
h. The latest advices from Chicago
state that important developments
may be looked for within the next "a
hours. Trouble now seems apparent
among the brokers and their oper-
ators. The latter have given their
employers a specified time in which
to sign a union agreement or strike
will be declared. Some of the brok-
ers are reported to have refused to
sign an agreement.

that check clerks and messenger boys
will soon join the ranks of the srrik-
ers.
i
phone company, with lines throughout
the southwest from Chicago is threat
ened with a walkout of 400 employees
unless a demand for 10 per cent in
crease in wages is granted. Gf this
strike takes place, Chicago will be iso-
lated from the world so far as wire
communication is concerned, and is
expected to prove big help to the
striking operators.
New York advices bring the news
that the matter of calling out the ca
bic operators is also under contempla-
ton.
Rut little business is reported being
done according to reports of union
men at San Francisco.
The Western Union office at Gold
field, New, has been closed by the
company until such time as their

Judge Ellis and Jim" Kyle Tell oh
Wonderful Yields, Some Reaching
20 Bushels Per Acre i'm Umatilla
County-Forty-E Eight and One-Half
Bushels Average on $50 Acres Prob
ably the Best.

The following interview from prom
inent Umatilla county men, on the
wheat situation appeared in the Ore
gon Daily Journal of yesterday:
Next Anybody with a story about
wheat crops that run anywhere from
80 to 100 bushels to the acre is ELI
gible to the oregon Wheat club, start
ed by Judge w. r. Ellis and Jim
Kyle at the Imperial hotel this morn
ing.
The congressman started off with
story about the wonderful yield of
more than SO bushels to the acre
raised by Thomas ]. Kirk on his So
acre tract near Athena.
What do you think of that, Jim p"
asked Judge Ellis. Some of that
wheat ran more than 20 bushels to
the acre and part of it warehouse
measurements"
THAT is pretty good" said Mr..
Kyle, who will harvest a record
breaking crop of "spuds" on his place
near Echo next month. 4" haven't
a story that will beat that, but Low
ell Rogers and Louis Rothrock rails
ed So bushels to the acre on their
place near Eastland last year"
After Jonathan Bournes former
manager for eastern oregon finished,
Fred Walters, commissioner for Una
tilla county, told about the crop of
Hugh Walters, near Helix.
Hugh raised 4S1a bushels to the
acre for a whole crop on a half sec
ton. That will help some"
Judge Ellis proposed the election
of Mr.. Walters to the wheat club and
he was taken in unanimously.
Then followed stories by the char
ter members about wheat crops, po-
tatoes and other produce.
The old Prospect ranch of $500
acres between Echo and Cold Springs,
operated by NJ. Cameron, will return
not less than % bushels to the acre,
which is considered remarkable
crop. Other wheat crops running
from 80 to so bushels to the acre were
recounted by the trio. Then Mr.. Kyle
told of Thomas, the bee man. who
secured as much as three cases of
honey to the stand from his place on
Butter creek near below Echo
well, Jim," said Judge Ellis, 1--WE
will eat this winter IL we can't do
anything else, eh?"
"Eat?" mused the political manag-
er. Eat? Why we will feel sorry
for you when you are back in WASH

PUMP ENGINE WRECKED.
Dynamite Had Been Secretetl in the
Machine.

This afternoon a broken gasoline
pump engine was brought in from
the Dave Nelson place and the facts
surrounding the accident make it ap-
pear as though the engine had been
foully dealt with. According to Mr..
Nelson he had just started the pump
to working after a long idleness, and
at the first turn an explosion occur
red tearing the sylinGcr in pieces.
1t is Mr.. Nelson's belief that nitro
glycerine or some other explosive was
placed in the pump by some enemy
and that the wreck of his engine was
not due to accident. The broken
cylinder is now at the Neagle machine
shop awaiting repairs.

AT meeting of the school board
held last evening, Prof. A. L. Briggs,
late president of the Drain normal
school, was chosen as principal of
the Pendleton high school for the
coming year. He was elected at a
salary Of $1,000 per year, which is an
advance of $500 over the salary for
merly paid, and the selection was
made from number of applicants.
That a very competent man for
the principalship has been secured in
Prof. Briggs is believed by the mem
bers of the school board and by Su-
perintendent Landers. When Prof.
Harrison resigned several weeks ago,
1t was feared the board would have
difficulty in getting a capable man
so late in the season. However, Prof.
Briggs had just decided to resign the
presidency of the Drain normal owing
to the uncertainty of that institution's
future. He then became an appli-
cant for the position here, and last
night was chosen to the position by
the unanimous vote of the directors.
Prof. Briggs is graduate of Mon
mouth normal and also attended Will
lamette University for four years. He
has taught in the schools of Oregon
for 16 years and held an enviable
record before being elected to the
presidency of the Drain normal. He
has been at the head of the central
Oregon school for the past three
years, and during that time the Drain
institution took the lead in point of
attendance among the four oregon
normals.
The proposition of establishing an
abbreviated normal course in the
high school is being considered by the
members of the school board. Such
course for the high schools has
been recommended by the state nor
mas school regents, and should the
course be added to the curriculum
here Prof Briggs will be valuable.
in the faculty.
At the meeting last evening Miss
Lulu Keller of this city was elected
as sixth grade teacher to fill va
cancy.
Janitors for the various schools
were also chosen as follows: High
school, NJ. B. Scott; Hawthorne
school, (west end) Robert Patton;
and Washington school, (east end)
Guy Cook.
