MRS. LEE PRICE SUES

Wants Legal Separation From Man
Who Shot at Her and Her Alleged

Who Shot at Her and Her Alleged
Affinity.
AS an aftermath of the sensational
gun swapping episode on Main street
Wednesday, Mrs. Lizzie Price today
filed suit for divorce from her hus-
band, T. L. Price, who attempted TO
shoot Dorsey Green,
According to the allegations set
forth in the complaint, which was
filed by Carter & Smythe, Price has
been cruel and abusive towards the
plaintiff for the past is months.
In part this treatment consists of
personal abuse and general jealousy
and suspicious actions on the part of
defendant. All without cause, so the
wife alleges, her husband has at diff
ferent times accused her of clanden-
timely meeting with Green for the
purpose of committing adultery.
Shoots at Wife.
Ten days ago, according to the COM
plaint, such charges were made by
Price and at the time he threatened
to kill Green and also his wife. That
evening he called his wife out of her
house and shot at her with a pistol,
but missed her. Continuing the COM
plant recites the episode on Main
street and the plaintiff declares that
the incident has caused her much en-
barrassment.
An order restraining Price from
molesting his wife was also asked for
and has been granted by Judge Bean.
Thisafternoon Mrs. Price is in ha-
ven. of refuge at the sheriff's office,
and it is the intention to give her
and her children shelter at the poor
farm.

Because the buyers refused to bid
more than half the sum that was paid
for their clips last year the wool sale
scheduled for Arlington this after
noon was called off in despair.
According to a phone message re-
ceived by the East Oregonian from
Arlington this afternoon 100000
pounds of wool were offered for sale
but the bids submitted ranged only
from IA cents to s ga cents. All
bids were rejected.
Last year the Gillian county fleeces
sold for double the prices offered to-
day and sheepmen are at a loss to
account for the terrible slump. 1t is
said that the Gillian wool could have
been sold earlier in the season for
higher figures than those offered to-
day.
dered at Arlington, Dan P. Smythe,
secretary of the Woolgrowers' asso-
citation, expressed much astonishment
and predicted that the Umatilla coun-
ty wool will be held unless the buyers
offer higher prices here.
Local Sale Monday.
The first wool sales day for this
city is set for Monday and everything
is now in readiness for that event.
Thousands of pounds of wool are now
stored at the Furnish warehouse, and
will serve as sample clips at the sale
Monday.
On the day following the sale here
there will be one held at Pilot Rock
and it will be the first time a sale has
ever been held in that town.
Among Umatilla county growers
the sale at Arlington has been awaited
with interest, for the sale there marks
the opening of the wool market this
season. Though the Gillian county
clips do not bring the prices that are
usually paid here, the figures at Ar
lington are some criterion as to what
will be given in Pendleton.

THE BASIS OF PERSONAL MAGNETISM
Discovered to Be the Electricity
Generated in the Body-Can Be
Increased by Study of Laws
of Vital Force.

The new science of vital force. based
upon the researches Of Mr.. Andrew Nc
Council. has many other applications than
the self-cure of chronic disease and
lengthening life. His work for the last
three months has proven beyond a doubt
that any person may cure himself simply
by learning how to generate more vital
force in his body.
Among other things considered impossi-
bic, Mr.. Mcconnell proves the basis of
personal magnetism 10 be the amount of
electricity generated in the body Find
ing that any person may increase the
generation of vital electricity, Mr.. Nc
Cornell proves that any one may make
himself personally magnetic by increasing
his electric production.
Magnetism is electricity. Any substance
having more electricity than the sub
stances around it magneticaIly draws
them 20 itself Any person possessing
more electricity than the people around
him magneticary draws them around
him. Any lady may increase her mag
netic powers by learning the science Of
increasing her vital electricity. Many
who have had a magnetic personality are
losing ii by the lowering of the body sup
ply Of electricity, brought on by age or
overwork They may rapidly regain the
full powers, just as Mr.. Mcconnell has
proven in some 200 tests that any invalid
or old person may cure themselves in a
few weeks by learning the new science of
vital increase taught by this now famous
scientist at the Life Electricity Institute.

PLATT STOPS NOMINATIONS
Holds Up New York Postmasters at
WadswOrth Request.
Former representative VIII Come
to Washington To-day To Fight
Their Confirmation.

Senator Plat has requested the Senate
Committee on Post-oftices and Post-roads
10 take no action until further notice on
the nominations Of four upstate post
masters who were selected without the
knowledge Of the New York Senators.
Mr.. Plat explained that his request was
not to be construed as antagonistlc to the
nominations, but merely TO oblige a
friend. The friend in this case is James
W. Wadsworth. of Genesee. who will be
here to-day 20 tell Mr., Plat why the
nominations should not be reported 10 the
Senate with a favorable recommendation.
The five nominees reside in the Con-
gressionaI district formerly represented
by Mr.. Wadsworth and now represented
by Peter y. Porter. who won out against
Mr.. WadswOrth in the last Congressional
campaign. It was on Mr. Porter's say so
that the nominations were made
Before Mr. WadswGrth's term as a rep
Tesentative expired last March he recon-
mended the retention Of the five incum-
bents of the post-offiCes in question. and

Ommendation TO President Roosevelt with

declined to follow Mr.. Wadsworth's
wishes and let Porter name new men for

ASKS PENSIONS FOR SURFMEN
President Wants Heroes of the Sea
Taken Care of When Old.
Declares Unsatisfactory Conditions
in Life-saving Service Have De-
Perforated Its Personnel.

The President sent message to Con-
gress yesterday recommending pensions
for members Of the Life-saving Service
when they have become incapacltated for
duty by reason of disability incurred in
the service.
During the last several years" said
the President the members Of the sta
ton crews have given up their places in
large numbers TO seek employment where
the work is less exciting and hazardous.
the compensation larger and the pros
poets for the future brighter The exodus
of these men. in many instances after
long service. has embarrassed the work
Of the life-saving establishment % a.
marked degree
The President pointed out the gradual
deterioration of the personnel of the
crews THE once excellent team work Of
the life savers-so important where com
bined physical effort is required-hds con-
sequently deteri0rated," says the Presi-
dent, and the former standard cannot
be Tegained in the present circumstances. 80
The President in another part Of his
message points ont the difficulty Of secur-
ing material of any kind for recruiting
the crews of many stations"
AT one station there is but a single
regularly Unlisted man, and at several
but two In one district only two out Of
eleven stations have fun crews of regu-
lars. In another but two out Of seven
teen. and in still another. only six out Of
fourteen"
In conclusion. the President said.
THE situation calls for immediate ac-
ton, and I earnestly urge some adequate
form Of relief for a body OF men who
have saved thousands OF lives. often Un-
der circumstances Of extreme peril, and
millions of dollars worth Of property at
q comparatively insignificant cost; whose
valor has never been surpassed on the
field Of battle; whose achievements have
won worldwide recognition, and who are
deserving of the nations gratitude and
protection"

therefore take a broader view Of the sit
uation from an educational standpoint.
He did not think that the President az
the United States was the proper author
ity to make the appointment, as he would
be compelled TO rely largely upon advice
IN making his selection Of a school d.
rector.
It was agreed by the members Of the
subcommittee that the power Of removal
for cause should be included in the power
Of appointment
Admiral Baird, former president OF the
board of education, addressed the sub
committee before Senator DOlliver, for the
reason that the Senator was not able 10
be present when the hearing began. No
other persons presented themselves and
asked hearing, therefore the subcommit-
tee took its action upon the facts as they
had been developed

The admiral expressed strong approba-
ton Of the Deliver bin. but thought that

is. the District Commissioner Senator

IL the Commissioners were relieved Of the
financial responsibility OF the schools.

question from Senator Carter. that he
thought it would be a very desirable thing
10 get rid Of the board Of education as an
institution, because his experience was

and also because the negroes had given

Probably the most conclusive evidence
that has yet been offered to show that
William Jennings Bryan. regarded as a
Democratic Presidential candidate, IS far
from unpopular with a large proportion
Of the Democratic members Of the House
Of Representatives. was offered yester-
day when poll of such members was
made public
In this poll. which was taken by four
men. who went at the work without
prejudice Mr. Bryan is shown to have
behind him the support Of lO7 members
of the House. while his nearest compeu-
ter for the honor of the nomination. Gov.
Johnson Of Minnesota. has but sixteen.
In a poll said to have been taken a
few days ago. it was asserted that Mr.
Bryan had but ninety-eight votes, while
the Minnesota man was accredited with
thirty-onc.
According 20 those who took the first
poll Mr. Bryan, by their figures, could
have less than two-thirds of the House
members as his friends. while Gov John
son was said 10 have more than third.
Has More Than TwO-thirds.
The more recent poll, however. taken
by newspaper men, who gave their word
that no names should be made public,
shows that the first was certainly wrong.
and that instead of having less than
two-thirds, Mr.. Bryan has five more than
this number.
In addition to this fact, which Hlis poll
shows, IL is possible that many Of those
House members who are put down in the
poll as noncommittal or absent will be for
Mr.. Bryan when the time comes. II is
certainly just as fair TO assume that they
viii be for the Nebraskan as it is to say
that they will be for Gov. Johnson or
some one else.
Among the scattering votes were four
for Senator Culberson, of Texas. Senator
Culberson. it is plainly understood. is not
candidate, and, if he We're, would prob
ably have many more than those four
votes As it is now, the votes for the
Texas Senator will most probably go to
Mr. Bryan.
The whole antl-Bryan vote. as recorded
by this poll shows that there are but
thirty-two members Of the House opposed
10 his selection as the partys leader in
the coming race There are then left
nineteen men who are put down as nom
cOmmittaL Ten members were absent.
The record OF this poll is In the hands
or q newspaper man Of Washington and
while IL is not probable that IL VIII be
made public, all the statements of the
members OF the House are al hand In
ease there should be any question of its
accuracy.

WALLACE PRAISES BRYAN.
NebraSkan Appears on Floor Of
House Of Representatives.

William Jennings Bryan yesterday cir
culated among Democrats in Congress.
and appeared on the floor Of the House.
He said he had come to consult with
Democrats"
His appearance was the signal for
Representative Wallace Dem, Ark to
praise the Peerless leader in a speech.
Democratic applause punctured nearly
every sentence,
You say he has been twice defeated?"
exclaimed Wallace. Give me defeat with
man rather than victory with a coun-
terfeit of humanitys baser metal.
You who want q new man. take care.

Ever since ISIS. Mr.. John Boyle now
representing the Wall Street Journal, has
been actively and continuously engaged
in newspaper work. He began his career
as the Washington correspondent of the
Charlotte ~. c. Observer. served one
year on the Washington Post, and eight
cen years with the old United Press.
His speciality was financial work. and
from that ne dTifted naturally 10 the
Wall Street Journal. which he has rep
resented, with other financial interests,
at the Capital since 1895.
Few newspaper men at the Capital
have a larger acquaintance with public
men extending over so long period. and,
perhaps. none is so we'll known in the
Executive departments or locally.
