Berlin, Oct. 29.-Maximillian Har--
den, the Berlin editor charged with
lible by Count Won Moltke, on ac-
count Of Harden's charges that Won
Moltke and others who surrounded
the Kaiser were immoral and degen-
crates, was found not guilty today
and acquitted by the judge.
When Justice Kern read his re-
cision, acquitting Harden and order
ing Won Moltke to pay all costs OF
the trial, Won Moltke appeared to
be violently agitated, sinking in his
chair and sobbing violently.
When he left the court room sup
ported by friends, he was hissed and
hooter at by the mob. Harden ap-
peared and was given an enthusiastic
reception.
AS Won Molke attempted to force
his way to the carriage his friends
were compelled to beat back the
crowd that surrounded the veteran
with cries of Kill the wife beater,"
Down with the, moral leper"
In the meanwhile another crowd.
had gathered about Harden and car
ried him on their shoulders to his
cab. The court room was crowded,
the army and bar being largely rep
resented.
When Kern read his decision
which was outlined in the first few
sentences, a rush was made for Har-
den. Order was not restored for 20
minutes.
In justice to Kern's decision, he
declared that all the editors charges
had been sustained without a shadow
of doubt and that the knights of the
round table had been guilty of many
gross political intrigues and hideous
orgies, that Harden was justied in
in making the exposure and he de-
served the thanks of the nation for
so doing"

mors of a sweeping order from +.
II. Hartman have reached this city.
which II true will stop all improve
ment work on the Hartman lines
in the northwest.
The order is not yet made public
but 1t is certain that such an order
has been received by Hartman Of
ficials and 1t is expected that within
a short time the effect will be DEM
onstrated.
II is understood that on account Of
the money stringency in the east that
every particle OF extension and i'm
provement work on all the Hartman
systems will be stopped at once and

branches, on the Walla Walla depot,
the Spokane buildings. several large
bridges, several round houses and
numerous large and important work

II will mean the discharge of at

The Myrtle Point stage, driven by

$3.50 a. m. saturday morning, and all
went well until the scene of the acci-
dent was reached, when one of the
lead horses began to kick, and as 1t
was on a down grade the team of four
horses became unmanageable and be-
gan to run. The bottom of the grade
was reached in safety and low,
level. straight piece of ground was
reached, when the wheel horses
swerved and left the road, plunging
over a steep embankment, pulling
the wagon with them and throwing
the occupants from their seats.
Morehouse, who occupied the left
hand side of the rear seat, was thrown
forward, alighting under one of the
horses. while the others were more
fortunate, and fell safely on the
ground. The driver was pulled from
his seat by the lead horses and fell in
the road, the horses breaking away
from the wheelers, and racing madly

Eastern Money Tied Up.

Portland, oct. 29.-(SpeciaD
The real cause Of the threat
ened money famine n the
northwest is the refusal of New
York banks to ship money to
the west. The eastern banks
owe western banks large sums
but because of the threatened
panic In the east none of the
large sums due will be shipped
to the west, and therefore
western banks cannot pay out
money which they do not have
in their possession. Every bank
in the country may continue
open and can transact busi-
ness on a clearing house basis.

Notwithstanding the proclamation
of Governor Chamberlain declaring
holiday in the state of Oregon for
period of five days to prevent a
money famine, all three of Pendle-
toms excellent banking Institutions
opened on time this morning and are
doing business as usual, without the
slightest fear of the eastern furry
reaching the coast cities.
The proclamation of the governor
which was issued after banking
hours last evening came as a surprise
TO bankers and business men and it
is generally believed that 1t was is
sued for the special protection of
some of the concerns which have
perhaps approached too near the
danger line in the matter of sending
money east to assist the big banks
there which have been affected more
or less by the Wall street movement
of the past week.
The West Is Solid.
There never has been a time in the
history of banking in the northwest
when banks could pay their obliga-
tions and meet the demands upon
them as easily as now, according to
general consensus of opinion among
bankers and business men and there
never has been time when the
confidence of the public was as
strong i'll the banks of the northwest
as now.
An immense crop has just been
marketed and this money is on hand;
sheep and cattle have been sold In
large numbers all during the past
season and this income is largely
cash asset of the country and taken
altogether the banking business and
all other lines are flourishing as
never before and are upon a more
SUBSTANTIAL basis than ever,
Therefore the order of Governor
Chamberlain declaring a five days
holiday is looked upon as perhaps
untlmely in many ways, as 1t will
only serve to arouse timid people
would never have been affected by
eastern conditions, had their atten-
tion not been called to the matter by
the holiday order.
Pendlcton Is Optimistic.
When interviewed upon the SUBJ
ject this morning by the East Ore
gonian Pendleton bankers unani-
mostly declared their intention to
continue dong business during the
week unless some specific order
should request them to observe the
holiday, which 1t is not thought will
be done.
Not a cent has been withdrawn
from any Pendleton bank today as
result of the holiday proclamation
of the governor and deposits have
been made and business transacted
with the usual vigor and volume

I characteristic of this busy season Of
the year.
President Monte B. Gwinn and
Vice President T. ]. Morris Of Pen
dleton Savings bank are extremely
optimistic in their views Of the mon
ey situation in oregon and especially
I'm eastern Oregon. They declare that
all the banking institutions of Una
tilla county and eastern Oregon, OF
which section they can speak from
personal knowledge and association,
are in excellent condition and they
feel that the holiday order will not
affect in the least any bank or other
enterprise in this entire section.
2 Cashier G.. NJ. Rice of the First
National bank says he has been in
the banking business in the inland
empire for the past 16 years and had
some interesting experiences in the
panic of the early nineties, but in
all of his experience he has never
seen a time when the northwest
could meet its obligations and pay
dollar for dollar on every demand
as easily as now. The country is
prosperous, confidence is strong and
conditions are ideal and he feels that
the holiday order will not affect in
the least the forward movement of
legitimate development in the north
west. 1t is simply a small incident in
the financial history of the country
and next week will be forgotten.
w. S. Bailey, assistant cashier of
the Commercial National declares the
northwest, and especially Umatilla
county, are now in better financial
condition than he has ever seen them
before and it is the height of folly
to think that the slight eastern
furry will seriously affect this Sec
ton. Farm loans have already been
largely paid, the wheat crop is large
ly sold, stock have been marketed
and the cash assets of the banks and
individual firms are stronger than
for years.
Other Banks Are Open.
A telephone message from La
Grande this afternoon says that all
the banks of that city opened as us
ual this morning and have been tran
sacting their regular business today,
without regard to the holiday pro-
clamation. The opinion prevails
that the holiday order was simply
an emergency order to protect some
of the Portland banks which had
been sending immense sums east and
which might have been seriously af-
fected by a run at this time. The
financial conditions in Union county
were never better and none of her
banks viii be affected in the least by
the holiday order or the temporary
furry in the east.
Al. the Baker City banks were
opened at the regular hour this
morning and the holiday order has
not affected them in the least. Con-
ditions are excellent and money plen-
tiful and eastern conditions will not
touch Baker county, according to
message to the East Oregonian this
afternoon.

everything was Just as 1t snouIu nave
been, and the assembly more than justi-
Ned the most extravagant dreams OF its
promoters.
Difficult indeed, would it be to i'm
aSfne more perfect dancing floor than
tae 1900 square feet OF polished white
maple turned over for the first time to
the delights of terpsichore.
The huge dancing floor, larger than any
other in the west, was illuminated by the
soft sheen of 20O0 incandescents shaded
by red Japanese lanterns, the infrequent
white of the chandeliers showing through
like stars beyond sunset glow.
Feetuons of pepper boughs draped the
huge iron girders supporting the roof
and skylights, while a wealth of tropical
palms, ferns and native foliage bedecked
the walls, pillars and beams.
Along the balcony promenade little
screens of palms, ferns and other potted
blooms framed Off attractive hooks for
tete-a-tetes, the luxury of roomy
couches warm oriental rugs and restful
easy chairs Turing alike sightseeing
visitors and guests weary with the ex-
ertions of the dance.
To the rear of the balcony yet not
entirely shut off from view of the
floor, the refreshment tables, each re-
splendent with spotless napery and
adorned by a vase Of flowers, were pop
ular resting spots. Light refreshments
were served
Across the front of the stage facing

view by this device, the musicians were

Red, white and green, the colors of AL
Malaikah, were everywhere; lights, flow
ers and decorations all lending them
selves to the scheme.
Great .festoons of red encased incan-
descents lined the walk from the curb
on Jefferson street to the main. entrance
of the temple, heavy canvas walk
stretching from the curb to the building
The guests arrived early, and long
before the announced hour for the grand
march there were nearly 5000 people in
the ball room and balconies.
An enjoyable Introductory band con-
cert was provided and the waiting for
the formal opening of the ball was most |
enjoyable.
