The woman who does
her own work ought to
have the very best of
everything to do it with.
Take this matter of
dish-washing, for ex-
ample-it pays to use
Ivory Soap even for that.
Ivory Soap cleans the
dishes as throughly as
any soap can; while, at
the same time, it is so
mild and pure that it
does not injure the
hands.

ROW
OF BODIES IN
BOYERTOWN
scontlnuea From First Page,

may prove difficult task as all present
indications are that the only guilty per-
sons were the terror stricken wretches
who met their fate In the deadly rush OF
their own creation. A bureau was opened
by Coroner Strausser at the Union Hotel
to-day at which all stricken families have
been asked to register the names Of MISS
ing relatives and friends. To date one
hundred and sixty-ive bodies-as nearly
as can be estimated, by counting the con-
tents Of three sacks OF bones and skulls,
have been taken from the ruins. OF these
10 are females 43 males, and twelve are
so badly burned as to make the determi-
nation Of their sex impossible. Twenty
two Of the bodies are those Of small chill
dren and two score more OF others are
those Of boys and girls in their teens.
COMMUNITY STUNNED.
A description of the scenes and the AZ
titude Of the people in this city is almost
impossible. There are no wild scenes of
grief and Mysteries do not enter into the
conduct Of the grief-stricken relatives and
friends constantly examining the piles Of
charred remains. The entire community
appears to be stunned or in a stupor
Business is at a standstill. The streets are
deserted of vehicles. but crowded with
people who wander aimlessly from one or
the temporary morgues to another. Wo-
men give no heed to their dress and busi-
ness appears crushed and helpless.
Church societies have taken over the
small children made orphans and in a
number Of homes orphaned children in
their teens are making arrangements for
the burial of dead parents.
Now that the first shock is over un-
favorable comment is heard Of the action
OF the Boyertown Fire Department, and
many charges Of ignorance and efficiency
are heard The killing OF one of their
member seemed to daze them Great
praise is given Burgess Kohler. He took
personal charge Of every saloon and said
he would put in Jail every contributor to
disorder. The arrival Of the State con-
stabulary helped the Burgess in the work
OF rescue and in maintaining order.

Fred Underhill. the middle-aged col

mont before the jury began this morn

He contended for a first degree muir
der verdict against Underhill, declar-
ing that the shooting had been pre-
meditated, that malice had been shown
to have existed between the prisoner
and the dead woman and that no cir
cunstance leading to the shooting in
dicated the crime of manslaughter. MIR.
Richards spoke for one hour, and was
followed by Wilbur L. Adams, of coun-
sci for the defense, who spoke for
fifteen minutes. II was Mr.. Adams
maiden argument before a jury and he
conducted himself we'll
Mr.. Handy, chief counsel for the de-
Tense, began his argument at 1915
o'clock. lie reviewed all the testimony
in the case, declaring the State had
not shown that Underhll bore any
malice toward the dead woman, and
pleaded for a verdict of manslouehter
against his client whom he described
as a poor ignorant and superstitious
negro"
Both Sides Rested.
Both sides rested late yesterday after
noon after Underhill. the prisoner. told
the story Of the crime. He said he had
lived with Rachel Underhil for twelve
years ana that she was his intended wife.
He told OF going to Hester Nelson's home
to ask Rachel TO prepare breakfast for
him. While there Underhlu said Rachel
warned him against three men who were

volver from Davis Upon returning to tho

admitted that he slapped the woman and
that he had drawn the revolver. He de-
MED, however, OF accusing Hester Of
keeping a disorderly house or that Rachel
had said she had borne more marks for
him than for any other man."
Underhin then admitted the shooting.
Il shot at Rachel and did not know / had
killed Hester. 1 was crazy angry and
lost control Of myself" he said. Underhin
said he did not know how many snots
were fired He denied that he had ex-
claimed following the murder That's

How much of Monday do you spend,
at the waSh-tub3 Far too long if you wash
clothes any way except the FelS-Naptha
way. One of the greatest blessings of
Fel8-Naptha soap is its quick action. When
you use Fel8-Naptha, a half hours soaking
in cold or lukewarm water will thoroughly
loosen the dirt. While the clothes soak
you are free to do other work. Then rub
lightly, rinse and the clothes are ready for
the line.
Fels-Naptha soap robs Monday of it's
drudgery. But it must be used the
FelS-Naptha way-no boiling, no hot water.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-07-18

Washington, July 1s.-Declaring
the charge of $3.50 a car for ter
minal switching enacted by the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe is H.
legal, the Pacific coast jobers and
manufacturers association today
filed a complaint with the interstate
commerce commission seeking to
have the rates declared illegal.
The petition asks that the rate be
reduced to one dollar If it is found
that the railroads have a right to inn
pose switching charge
The complaint recites that the ter
minal switching charge exacted in
San FRANCISCO is a discrimination
against that city in favor Of Portland,
Oakland, Sacramento and other coast
cities which do not have to pay this
charge because they are not rated as
terminal points.
The commission will investigate.

COLD FLOODED MURDERERS
Deputy Sheriff Fatally Wounded I'm
Alabama and Many Miners Wound
ed-Strikers Had Threatened 10
Kill the Imported Miners II They
Attempted TO Go TO Work.

Birmingham, Ala. July 1S.-Rob-
ert Gardner, a deputy sheriff, was IA
tally wounded and at least a dozen
miners were more or less seriously
hurt as the result OF an attack on a
train bearing strike-breakers to take
the place Of striking union miners at
Jefferson, near here, last evening.
The train was in charge OF 13 depu-
ties and was en- route to Asheville.
II Is said that the union miners
attempted to induce the strike break
ers to leave the train and threatened
to kill them II they went to work.
Governor Conner has ordered a COM
pany of cavalry from Montgomery to
the scene and troops already on the
ground are under arms and will pa
troll the district tonight, preventing
further disorder.
Deputy Gardner, mortally wounded,
was brought to Birmingham tonight.
Deputy George Smith, accompanying
him, estimates that no less than 1000
shots were fired by both sides in the
attack at Jefferson.
Threatened TO Shoot.
According to Smith the engage
ment was opened when train bear
ing so strlkebreakers attempted to
leave Jefferson for Asheville. Prior
to this a number of union miners
had made overtures to the strike-
breakers to join their ranks, threat
ening at the same time to kill them
in case they attempted to work the
mines for the operators. In this
emergency deputies attempted to
have the train run out OF jefferson
under fire If necessary. An open
switch, however, brought the engine
to stop and in this predicament the
deputies and strikebreakers were
fired upon.
