charge of the preliminary matters.
The place at which the lectures are
to be given has not yet been decided
upon, the closing of the Frazer thea

suitable place, although it is thought
church can be secured for the en-
tertainments.
Other attractions beside Senator
Tillman are Richard p. Hobson hero

Dor of Santiago, Cuba, who is a pop

The lecture course last winter was
very successful, although Sam Jones,
one of the attractions, died before
filling his engagement here. A large
number of season tickets were sold to
business men and 1t is hoped that the
course for the coming winter will be
equally successful.

TAFT DISAPPOINTED PENDLETON PEOPLE

Keen disappointment was in store
for 200 Pendleton people who as
sembled at the o. r. & N. depot to-
day at noon today to get a glimpse of
Secretary of Of War William H. Taft
and party, who were scheduled to
pass on that train.
However, nothing definite about
the movements Of the secretary had
been given out except that he is ex-
pcted to speak in Portland tomor-
row night and while it was thought
he would be on train No. 1, no one
had received any information on the
subject.
The depot platform was filled with
eager spectators who crowded close
TO the train in an effort to get view
of the big secretary, who, as an echo
of Roosevelt" is scheduled for the
presidency. When it was announced
by Conductor Frank Coykendan that
the Taft party was not on the train.
there was an audible murmur of dis

from the east last night undertook to
put off j. c. Buck of North Yakima,
but did not for the reason that Buck
drew an ugly looking knife from his
pocket and informed the conductor
that he would "cut his heart out" If
he laid his hands on him.
Buck got on the train below North
Yakima and said he wanted to get
off at North Yakima and for the
conductor to awaken him. The con-
ductor claims that he was awake at
the station, but did not get off, but
went back to sleep, and when the
train was some miles west of the de-
pot Buck wanted the train stopped,
but this the conductor refused to do,
but stopped at Roza, the first station
this side, and insisted that the pas
sener get off. which he refused to
do. He will be tried In the Justice
court In this city. Buck is n resident

Spokane, Sept. 5.-When John
Wilson's court convenes early next
week several cases against the North
ern Pacific Railway company. charg-
ing violation of the act of June 20,
1906, relating TO cruelty to animals
while in transit will be tried. The
law ppOVides that animals in transit
must not be kent aboard n train more
than "a consecutive hours without
feed water and rest. These cases are
all being brought i'm the name of the
United States. A similar case against
the o. II. & n company will be tried.
1t has been the custom of the rail-
roads to pay the fines provided in
these cases without allowing them TO
come to trial.
Several cases against the Northern
Pacific and Washington - Columbia
river railways for violation of the
safety appliance act will also come
up for trial unless the companies pay
their fines. A federal law provides
that car couplings shall be in good
condition before leaving terminal
points. Violation of this act carries
the penalty of a fine.
Government inspectors are on the
road at various times investigating
the equipment of the various rail-
roads. When violation is found the
conditions are investigated by the in
spector and his report turnsd over to
the proper persons, and case is
made against the company.
Several men are held for selling
nsuor to Indians, and these cases will
be brought before the grand jury
neat week.
Judge Whitson returned to the city
yesterday and will take up his regu-
lar work today, when various motions
will be heard and the date OF hearing

YaiSsma Fruit Shipments Less.

That there was 5000 boxes less OF
fruit shipped from this city during
the month of August this year than
there was during the same month last
year is shown by the report of Agent
j. +. Smith. While some varieties
have been shipped in larger quanti-
ties than last year, there are several
kinds that fall far below the mark
Mr.. Smith says that the decrease Is
due to many of the farmers sending
their produce by freight, but not to
any decrease In the amount of fruit
sent out from the city. Following is
the report of the amount of each va
riety shipped by the express com:
pany:
Pears, 24,O12 boxes, or 96,2SO

had missed its dinner to see the Sec
retary, melted away hurriedly in dis
gust.
Conductor Coykendall said that the
citizens in La Grande who had as
sembled early to see the Taft party,
were in a mood to mob the train
crew when 1t was learned that there
was a disappointment in store for the
Taft admirers there.
While nothing definite is known of
the secretarys party, it is said that
it will pass through Pendleton to-
night on No. s, which is now about
three hours late, bringing it into this
city at Sis tomorrow morning.
1t is not thought that the same
crowd will assemble at that hour to
see the secretary, although a number
of politicians who expect to attend
the Taft rally in Portland tomorrow
night will perhaps go down to Port
land on No. 8.

arrested upon complaint of the or

ment, was discharged from custody
today by Acting Judge STROBE and the
case against him dismissed, says the
Oregon DaE,Y Journal.
II was alleged that Booth had con-
verted 1914 of the insurance COM
pany's money to his own use and he
was given a preliminary hearing in
the police court last week. Booths
defense was that he was entitled to
increased commissions ON policy re-
newals and was merely holding the
amount involved until a judicial de-
termination Of the merits of his claim
in the civil courts.
Judge STROBE took the case under
advisement and rendered his decision
this morning. The court held that as
no demand had been made on the de-
fendant for the money and the prose-
cution failed TO show that there was
any felonious intent on the part of
Booth, criminal proceeding would
not lie. a suit for the recovery of
the sum alleged in the complaint to

Sacramento, Cal, Sept 5.-E. H.
Hartman, railroad magnate, stopped
over here tonight long enough to de-
liver stirring talk to the National
Irrigation congress, in which he told
how he came to take control of the
Union Pacific, Central Pacific and
of the attitude of his organizations
in the matter of irrigation and forest
ry.
Mr.. Hartman and Governor Cham
berlain of oregon, president of the
congress, engaged in a mild debate,
the railroad man taking issue with
the remarks of Oregon's chief execu-
tive.
Hartman said that when he sug-
gested to his associates east of the
Mississippi that they take hold of the
Union Pacific they regarded Kim as
being almost out of his senses and
asked what he was going to do with
the great desert to be traversed.

to go in alone, and, perhaps, some of
them now regret that l did not use
more force and persuasion to have
them go along with me.
Continuing, Hartman said that his
organization controlled much timber
land in Oregon, but that it was hot

ing saved for future generations.
Hartman referred to the work
done in improving the Union Pacific
and said it was necessary to secure
control of the Central Pacific and i'm
prove II likewise. otherwise traffic
would be choked up at Ogden. He
closed by saying he hoped the people
of the west would not consider his
organization selfish and added that
everything was done to develop the
west.
After Hartman resumed his seat.
Governor Chamberlain, referring to
the Oregon forest lands and their
preservation, said the people wanted
something done for present genera
ton and not for the future.
>""h''NiiuIi NuItpu 10 hnOW,
Il do not want to get into a dis
cussion with Mr.. Hartman" said the
speaker, "but l would like to know
how many acres of the original grant
have been sold by the railroad at a
price in excess of that fixed by the |
grant l do not think companies |
should be permitted to hold such
large grants. I would like to see |
MIR. Hartman build into Oregon and
invite him to do so."
Hartman, replying. said there was
Iittle inducement to build into coun-
try which was so thinly populated
as Oregon He referred to Oregon
as a fine state, but called attention to
the fact that shoveling of snow
would be required for several months
out Of the year.
He promised, however, that, "when
times became better and the credit Of
great organizations was re-establish-
ed he would build road into Ore
