mer Supervisor Jennings ]. Phillips,
was discharged at o'clock last even
ing by Judge Maurice T. Dooling.
Thirteen ballots were taken and the
jury stood to from the outset. At
no stage was there a chance for an
agreement. The credibility OF the
witnesses being the main point upon
which the jurors divided.
District Attorney Langdon made a
statement last evening to the effect
that the prosecution will not cease the
work that has been cut out and, that,
as soon as possible he will proceed
to try Ruef on one of the hundred
or more indictments pending against
him.
I'VE shall continue to prosecute
Abe Ruef until the law is vindicated,"
said Heney this morning, discussing
the failure Of the first Ruef trial.
Heney declares that he is disap-
pointed but not discouraged by the
action of the jury which was dis
charged Thursday night because of
disagreement.
81 shall continue the battle until
Ruef gets what he deserves" con-
cluded Heney. He Is already at work
on papers to be used In a retrial.

Chicago, May ga general strike
on the traction lines of this city was
averted this morning when 90 men
who withdrew from the union sent a
letter to the general manager stating
they would again pay the union dues
and fines in the interest of peace in
an effort to save the city from disor-

BIG EXCURSION TO SEATTLE.
Eighty Tickets Sold From PendletOn,
About $50 From Umatilla County
by Northern Pacific.

Eighty tickets were sold in this city
for the Northern Pacific excursion
which left here for Seattle this morn
ing, and about $50 people went from
the county on the special train, Helix,
Myrick, Juniper and Athena all fur
nishing large numbers.
The large number going on the ex-
cHrsion is especially gratifying to
Northern Pacific officials who or
ganized the train. The number pat
ronizing the special train is almost up
to the estimates made by local Off
cials of the Northern Pacific.
About 1000 people left Walla Walla
this morning over the Northern Paci-
fic for Seattle, and 1t is reported that
about 200 people who desired to go
could not find room on the special
train provided.
It is estimated by o. r. & \. Off
cials that about 200 people have gone
from Umatilla county by way of that
system and Portland so the total num-
her of people who will see the fleet in
Seattle tomorrow will reach to almost
400.

For those who like to see bright and

ing the play June 1. the evening OF
election day.
Last evening a meeting of those to
participate in the performance was
held in Mrs. Norton's studio and all
parts have been assigned. Up to this
time the identity of those in the cast
has not been divulged, owing to the
modesty of those involved. But this
much is known, that the lineup en-
braces host of the most popular
young people of the city and this fact
alone will suffice to make the per-
formance interesting.
''The Real Merry Widow" is a per-
formance that does not have a dun
place from start to the finale. It is
an ideal play for such a performance
as Is desired here for 1t allows of lots =
of music, beautiful scenic specialties
and mirthful stunts. AS the name
indicates, there will be something Of
millinery tinge to the play and it is
declared on good authority that the
largest Merry Widow hat ever captur-
ed will be exhibited to the admiring
eyes of the ladies in the audience.
Other interesting things about the
coming performance have not yet
been released" but will be made
known shortly. In the meantime the
people of the city are cautioned to
keep the date in mind and to be pre-
pared for the rush that will be on for

Plea Of Insanity viii Probably BE

Waila Walla, May 22.-At the re-
quest of the defense, the case of Bud
Barnes. charged with the murder of
Mrs. Anna Aldrich, was postponed
yesterday from May 25 to June 8. The
case of John Tyacke, charged with
horsestealing was also postponed un-
til the June term of court. the jurors
for this month being excused by Judge
Thomas H. Brents from further SER
vice.
That insanity will be the plea set
up to save Bud Barnes appears GER
tain from the length of time demand
ed for preparing the case in his be-
half. For that reason, the prosecut-
ing attorney is fortifying himself
against this line of defense.
Although no change of venue may
be asked. It is probable that objections
will be raised by the defense against
many of the jurors who have been
empanneled for the June term. Many
on the list reside near the scene of
the murder and are acquainted with
the prisoner besides having known
Mrs. Aldrich- So intimate indeed is
prospective jurors and the case that
more names will probably have to be
added.

PendIetOn Guardsmeu Appeal
to Voters For Their Support
June |.
ENDORSEMENT OF BILL
MEANS LOCAL ARMoRY.
Splendid Building for Pendleton and
Umatilla County Depends Upon the
Vote ut State Eectlon-Present Ar
mor4es Are Unfit and High Priced
Armory Bill Sound Business Meas
ure - National Guard a Necessity
In Time of War or Peace.

In support of the armory bill the
following appeal has just been made
to the voters OF Umatilla county by
the Pendleton guardsmen:
Pendleton, Ore, May %. 1908.
To the People OF Pendleton and Una
tilla County.
In order to insure the endorsement
of the armory bill, passed by the last
session Of the legislature, we desire
to make the following statement so
that voters may know the true merits
of the measure.
The armory bill provides for the
construction OF armOries In the towns
OF the state where guard companies
do not have proper quarters at pres
ent.
There is but one armory in oregon,
that being in Portland, and in each OF
the other 13 towns where guard COM
panies are located the state has build
inYs rented. paying annually from
$4,000 to $4,000 in rent.
For the most part the halls used as
armorles are far from suitable for ar
mory purposes and the state is yearly
paying out good money with but little
In return.
Is II not good sound business policy
for the state to own the armories,
which would then be adapted to the
needs and save the money which 1t Is
paying out for rent? Within 10 years
the state will save the 100000 that,
has been appropriated for armory
purposes by the armory bill.
At present company L Is using for
an armory a hall that is not suitable
and the rent amounts TO more than
the entire amount the company re-
ceives annually from the state. The
necessary expenses OF the company
during the past year have been double
the allowance from the state and the
members of the company have had
to make up the deficit by their own
efforts.
II the armory bill is approved Pen
dieton is practically certain to be
given an armory costing $4,000 or
$4,000 Such a building would pro-
vide suitable and permanent quarters
for the company and 1t would mean
that the company can be maintained
here continuously.
Aside from serving as an armory
the building would be a valuable ad-
cition to Pendleton and I'patilla
county.
1t would serve for many other pur-
poses, such as a large meeting room
for big gatherings, of a political ma
ture or otherwise, for indoor ath-
letic tournaments, etc.
II is the unanimous opinion of all
who are Informed upon the subject
that the national guard is a vital me-
cessity In the United States. With the
regular army the guard furnishes the
first line of defense in the event of
war with foreign power and in times
of peace It furnishes protection to the
lives and property of citizens at times
when the civil authorities are unable
to do so.
We earnestly ask you to vote 1912
YES" at the election June /, and help
us secure adequate quarters for our
company and a valuable public i'm
provement for Pendleton and UNA
tilla county.
Respectfully,
OFFICERS AND MEN co. L, Sd IN

attend ball at which they are ex-

This caused a storm to break. Now
society is divided into two camps.
Among those who have announced
that they will be at the ball, are Mrs.
