Chinese Send Expensive cableqrams to
Pekin.

b. ASTORIA, Oct 21-The local lodge
OF the Chinese Reform association
which has over 500 members and is
financially strong, held a meeting last
week to consider the appointment of
the new Chinese minister to the Unit
ed States, who formerly represented
his country at Washington.
AS a result of the meeting a cable
gram was sent to the empress dowager
at Peking protesting against his ap-
pointment and explaining that it was
not for the best interests of the empire
or subjects in this country. The cable
gram cost $5S and being in cipher to
the representatives of the association
at Peking for presentation, it's extent
can be appreciated. A member of the
local association states that similar
cablegramS were sent from every local
of the association in this country and
it is hoped thereby that the appoint

the future prosperity of Freewater.
Secretary A. c.. Moore, of the Wal

WAS ENGINEER
HOWE'S MISTAKE
THOUGHT SATURDAY WAS FRI
DAY AND SMASHES- INTO
TRAIN

Late Saturday afternoon word
reached this city that a disastrous
head-On collision had occurred three
miles east of Pendleton, Oh the Pen
dletonP Pasco branch of the Northern
Pacific 1t was not until late the same
evening that a detailed report of the
horrible accident reached the city, and
with the report came the news of the
death of Fireman Charles Burnett, of
Ellensburg.
AS near as can be learned the col
lision occurred between light engine
and the incoming Northern Pacific
passenger train from Pasco, on a curve
just east of the bridge and was the
result of the engineer of the light en-
gine. James Howe, mfstaking Saturday
for Friday Howe had orders to take
engine 1866, left here for repairs, to
Pasco He had orders against the
passenger train, but thinking it was
Friday, started to run to a siding out
side of the city on the passenger trains
time.
Fridays the passenger train goes to
Athena and does not arrive here until
1870, but Saturdays the trip to Athe-
ma is cut out and the time of arrival
is 1890 The passenger was late and
this added to Engineer Howe's confu-
sion of the time. The collision was of
terrific force. The tender of the pas
Senger engine was teleScOped into the
cab and over into the boiler.
Burnett and Wise were caught be-
tween the tender and boiler head and
were rescued amid the escaping steam
with great difficulty by Conductor G..
r. Berthelot and his crew. None of the
passengers were injured A relief train
was run over the O. r. N, WnIch
parallels the Northern Pacific here, TO
bring back the wounded.
Reports from Pendleton state that
there is talk of calling an inquest TO
determine :he responsibility of Eng1-
neer Howe of the light engine. He ana
his fireman escaped injury.
Burnett and Wise were Immediately
taken to Pendleton and placed in the
ST. Anthony hospital, where Burnett
died at $50 o'clock the same even
ing. Both Burnett's legs were crushed
fat below the knees and the surgeons
worked heroically in their eHorts TO
revive him sufficiently to proceed with
the operation. The body was shipped

DEMAND RELEASE.
OF AMERICANS.
Root Will Communicate al
Once With Russia

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Earnest
representations are being made today
70 the state department and Secretary

ate release of Mr.. and Mrs. William
English Walling and Miss Rose

Petersburg for activity in the Finnish

De- Immediately investigated in the
most rigid fashion by Secretary Root
and a demand for their immediate re-
lease from custody will probably be
made within the next "a hours if the
demand has not already been forward
ol through the proper diplomatic cir

relation to its citizens arrested for po-
Ii ical offenSeS of this sort is we'll de-
G.ed. Imprisonment of Americans for
political OffenseS when not involved
in armed schemes of rebellion are in
opinion probably will result in great
pressure being brought upon Secre-
tary Root to insist on their release.

in tenement houses and the uplifting
of sweat shop employees. Mrs. Walling

ladies We're prepared in college for
work among the poor and because of
their nationality were interested in
the oppressed of Russia. They Joined
the free Russia party in the United

any of 1906 for Zurich, where they eX-
uected to assist il, spreading the pro-
p1ganda 6f freedom There Miss Anna

PULLMAN HAS
STAR CENTER
IDENTITY OF MAN CALLED CAR
NISH" IN w. S. C. REPORTS
REVEALED BY RECORDS.

The Washington State college has an
ALL Northwest star playing at center
this season. The published accounts
of the game have simply listed him as
Carnish center for Pullman.
1t now transpires that such is not
his name. He is no other than Cherry,
the all star center for the northwest
colleges, picked last year from the
oregon Agricultural college eleven.
He is a star-a man any college would
be glad to number among its student
body as a student and athletics.
Upon that name Carnish hangs a
tale one that has been kept secret
from the dear public, and from those
who love to read the dope of the indi-
vidual players. 1t is not because
Cherry has done anything to throw
him in athletic disfavor, it is not be-
cause Pullman does not want other
colleges to know he is that nor is it
because there is any college require
ment he has not complied With that
Cherry is known to the public as Car
nish, says the Spokane Chronicle.
1t is because of a too loving student
body. 1t is stated that Cherry's par
ents have forbidden him to play the
great college game, while his alma
mater is calling upon him for his Serv-
ices. The temptation was too much,
and his name has been changed in the
NJ h. Al, -. Il
CariSh.
Other Schools Warned
1t is stated that among the list of
players submitted to the other colleges
Cherry's name appears, but in the
published reports the representatives
at Pullman have seen that Carish is the
man who plays center. This subter-
fuge, it is believed, will save the star
from any charges of Professionalism
1t makes man a professional to play
under an assumed name. The college
authorities will not, therefore, play
him under any name but his own, but
the college espOndents-well they
are different They are taking the
chances of making a professional of
a member of the representative team
and professionalizing all the eleven
That is the correspondents idea of
clean college sport-the kind that is
olen and according to the rulings of
the y. A. L.
Rule of the A. A. u.
The A. "A. L. rules on the subject
read:
An amateur becomes a professional
II Cd he enters a competition under
a false name, or CD enters a competi-
ucn open to professional or know
lngly completes with professional"
Thls ruling is sweeping in it's ex-
tent and under a strict Interpretation
would not only professionaliZe Cherry
but would also put the ban upon every
man on the team.

James Lowe and his wife, Matilda, Of
$40 South Fremont street, delayed travel
on the Belt line and Crown hill car last
night for more than an hour while they
disputed with the conductor as to their
right of transfer.
They came from a Maple avenue car
with a transfer which Conductor B. q.
Lenich of Belt line car 1856 refused to
accept from them for passage. They re-
fused TO pay their fare and the car
was backed from Third and HilHstreet
to the police station on First street near
Broadway.
The conductor appealed to the police
to help him, but they refused to inter-
fere and the car was stopped on switch
in hope that the passengers would tire
and leave.
Mr. and Mrs. Lowe contentedly sat in
the car for nearly an hour and then in
disgust the conductor finally gave up
and went on his way after telephonipg
to his dispatcher the cause of the delay.

We civiIize Them

"They despise us, yes. they despise u.s." said
the American woman who lives much among
the foreign residents of New York; but great
as is the contempt of the German, the French
man and the italian for everything American,
each nationality looks to to civilize the emf
grants from other European countries Only
yesterday I heard German who has lived
here for many years characterize pernicious
the American government. the American indus
trial system. American schools and the Amer
lean climate, The next minute his eye lighted
upon group of particularly well dressed Ital-
ians.
They are pretty tough lot now,' he said,
but after they have lived here for few years
and have sent theh children to school here they
will learn how to behave
Later heard Frenchman declare that the
whole United States was given up to rowdyism,
yet in the same breath he expressed the con-
vction that number OF Germans whom he
regards as impcssibly Dutchy' at present,
would become civilized after few years resi-
dence in New York. don't just see the force
of that reasoning. If we are all heathen how
can association With possibly improve any
one? Yet that is the miracle that all our for
eign friends are confidently expecting to be
perscrmed.
