John E. Lathrop, former editor of
the East Oregonian, who is now WASH
ington correspondent for the Oregon
Daily Journal, writes as follows to
that paper, concerning the changed at
titude of the United States senate to-
ward Senator Lo Toilette, who will
lecture in Pendleton on April IA:
There is no longer any disposition
on the part Of senators to regard Rob-
ert NJ. La Toilette of Wisconsin, as
crank to be suppressed. or as a
tenderfoot to be hazed. II anything
were needed to show the substantial
hold which the Wisconsin senator has
upon legislative matters, 1t was af-
forded by the way in which the sem
ate passed his bill to limit the hours
of continuous service of employees
operating railway trains. After vain
ly trying to amend the bill In way
that would practically have drawn Its
fangs, the senators who are opposed
to the agitation against the railroads
were finally forced to accept the
measure practically in the form in
which it was submitted by Mr.. La
Toilette and they passed the measure
by vote Of 20 to l.
How He Won Battle.
Senator La Toilette won his battle
| by sheer force Of personality and IN
tellect, and dogged persistence. He
refused to be squelched. He felt he
was right, and the vote of the senate
would indicate that the senators or
both sides we're willing to concede
that his measure was a just one. oi
course the numerous railroad acci
dents and appalling loss of life result
ing from wrecks the past few week.
served to emphasize the importance
of Mr.. La Follette's bill. He had be

Significance Of them 1t may only b.
said, as was quoted by Senator Ii
Toilette, that within the last fiv'
years the number of killed and In

would be required to pay 20 per cent

During the past year Umatilla

CREATES OBSTACLE
TO CREMATION
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2s-By request
Assemblyman Berry OF Del Norte intro
duced a bin today that will arouse the
Indignation of believers in cremation.
The proposed law reads as follows:
Every person who shall cremate or
cause TO be cremated the dead body of
any human being, or any human re-
mains. or any part thereof. within thir-
ty days after death, shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor."
Berry does not particularly care
what happens to the bill. 1t is none of
his making. He refers inquirers to
former Assem- blyman H W. Brown OF
San Mateo. who requested that it be
introduced. Brown says such legisla-
tion is necessary 10 aid the authorities
in exposing the crimes of Illegal med
ical practitioners, but this explanation
is not likely to satisfy cremationists.
Delegations of objectors are expected
10 attend committee hearings and argue
that the bill is a step backward and

ANTHONY MILLS To
RESUME CHARGE

SAN JOSE, Jan. 26.-Rev. Anthony
Mills. son of Benjamin Fay Mills and
formerly pastor OF the Unitarian
Church in this city is to return to
San Jose. say the younger members
Of the church, to resume his duties, and
thereby hangs a tale DR.. Anthony
Mills is young handsome and up to
date In fact his ideas on certain sub
jects are decidedly modern, so much
I so that they are said not to have met
with the approval of the older and
more conservative members of the
church.
Young Mills saw no reason why he
should not wear natty clothes Of any
particular shade the fashion demanded"
He liked cards. was a professed advo-
cate Of the dreamy waltz, the roller
skate and amateur drarnatics. Neither
did he see anything unbecoming In a
minister Of the gospel seeking the com
pany of a charming actress on a motor
/ cycle ride with machine built for two.
Miss Alta Phipps, leading lady at the
Jose Theater, was the fair one in ques-
tion She speedily earned the enmity
of the elder Unitarians Mills paid lit
tie heed to the gossip. He worked
faithfully in the interests of his church,
succeeding in burning a $40. 900 mort
gage that had hung over 1t for many
years Still this did not. Offset what
some pleased to term Outrageous con-
duct" and hence Mills, in November
last, abruptly handed in his resigna-
tfon.
The Young Mems Club of the church
announces that it has raised by sub
scription enough money to guarantee
Mills his salary and that the call has
been extended to him and that he has
accepted. Meanwhile others in the
church say that Rev. ]. "A Cruzan, who
occupies the pulpit, will remain there.
Mills recently accepted a very desir-
able position with the Church of Divine

Of the very finest in that city

SYNDICATE STORES
MAY De CLOSED
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26.-From one
end of the Pacific Coast to the other,
from Seattle to San Diego and at num-.
erous points in the interior of the
States of Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia it is probable that the stores
of the Pacific Syndicate Stores Company
will close and go out of business. The
Merchants Trust Company of Los An
geles consented today to act as trustee
for the creditors of the company, the
majority of whom are large Eastern
wholesale firms and manufacturers On
Monday a report Is promised to Presi-
dent w. L. Brent of the trust company
which is expected to disclose more
clearly the real financial end of the
stores company. Attorneys Petchner
and Westover of the stores company
took the initiative in the matter; and
1t was through their action that the
trust company was asked to take steps
which probably will close the business
of the other concern.
Il am not certain about It, but the
present indications are that the Syndi-
cate Stores Company is down and out"
said Attorney Petchner tonight. The
action asking for trustee is to save
the company from bankruptcy and the
heavy legal court expenses which would
follow an application for the appoint
ment of a receiver. The company is
in deep water, and cannot see how 1t
can escape having it's business closed
out"
The officers of the Pacific Syndicate
Stores Company are: Jesse b. Fuller,
president; Truman Reeves, treasurer;
T. B. Stateler. w. J. Fisher and John b.
Reed, directors; Harry B. Wood, New
York manager; Frederick B. Barrett

.RuefiteS to Oppose
an Indictment Bill
Wright Introduces a Meas
ure That Harms the
Local Gratfers
CALL HEADQUARTERS.
1907 FIGTH STREET

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 26.-Rueftes and
the aligned legislative forces in SYM
pathy with the San Francisco grafters
will offer determined opposition TO a
measure TO be introduced by Senator
Leroy Wright OF san Diego on. Monday.
relating 10 indictments by grand juries.
Wrights proposed amendment will
eliminate the prejudice OF jurors from
the grounds on whica returned indict-
ments may be dismissed by providing
for the abolition Of section 4, article
$685. OF the Penal Code. This section,
defining one Of the reasons on which
application for dismissal of indict-
ments may be based, now reads; When
the defendant had not been held TO
answer before the finding of the in
dictment, then on any good ground
which would have been good ground
for challenge either 70 the panel or
TO any individual grand Juror"
Senator Wright, whose bill relatins
to disqualification Of judges was i'm
pulsively and wrongly attributed TO q
desire TO aid the San Francisco graft
ers. is emphatic in declaring that this
new measure is in no way inspired to
counterpoise criticism arising out OF
the former.
Il am introducing this new measure
for the combined members Of the bar
OF San Diego" he said today i ara
not directly interested in contem-
pOrary doings in San Francisco, and II
the measure should affect any person
or persons under Indictment there i
can only say that this fact will not
deter me from agitating its passage.
I expect opposition TO the amendment
and am prepared 10 meet IL.
Opinion is almost unanimous among
the members Of the San Diego bar that
proceedings relating to indictments re-
turned by grand 1uries are too often
delayed by techniCalities. Successive
Legislatures add to the possibilities OF
these technicalities, and the result is
an ever increasing kit OF legal imple-
ments to stave of trials.
The passage OF this proposed amend
ment would simply mean that once a
person is indicted the hearing Of the
charges against him before jury
would be accelerated II he is innocent
OF the charges he surely cannot take
the position that speedily trial is TO his
disadvantage or in any way prejudicial
10 justice"
Senators and Assemblymen controlled
by Ruef declare that the measure Will
have influential opposition, as it strikes
at one of the main safeguards against
the use of the grand jury as a political
vehicle. They are just as pronounced,
however, in opposing suggested
amendment 10 Wright's other measure,
which would have the provisions re-
lating to the disqualification Of judges
apply only in civil procedure.
