Heney Arraigns De Young as DSsenlnatOr
of Lies in Attempt to Save Abe Ruef

prosecution attempted to obtain poati-
cal control of this city, NJ. H de Young
knows that it is stating a malicious ana
baseless falsehood. The prosecution
had it within its power to take absolute
control of the city government tho mo-
ment Schnaitz was convicted IN the ex-
tortion case on January 13, 1907. IN
stead OF doing so, the prosecution Sc
lected Mayor Taylor and directed the
supervisors to elect him. No promise
of any kind was asked OF Taylor and no
promise of any kind was given by Tay-
lor.
Immediately thereafter the entire
board of supervisors resigned by d.
rection of the prosecution and Taylor
appointed their successors without
conferring with any member OF the
prosecution in any way with regard 70
them. He also removed and appointed
many of the commissioners without
comforting with any member of the
prosecution with regard to them. In
fact the prosecution absolutely re-
deemed its promise to the people by
refraining from taking the political
control of the city as the result Of the
conviction OF Schmitz.
The only division of opinion that
now exists in this city in relation to
the prosecution Is the result of the
lies that have been published by the
Chronicle and the Examiner in their
news columns concerning the court
proceedings and other matters con-
nected with the prosecution 1t is I'M
possible to refute all the lies which
are published, because they are innu-
merable and are repeated in every
issue Of those papers.
SOLD NEWS COLUMNS
The fact is that both the Chronicle
and the Examiner have seld their
news columns to the wealthy criminals
who are under indictment, and these
wealthy criminals have agreed to pro-
tect Ruef. and consequently the Chron-
icle and Examiner have each misrepre-
sented the evidence and everything that
occurred in the Ruef trial with the de-
liberate purpose of aiding Ruef to es-
cape conviction. Neither one Of these
papers can carry water on both should
ers any longer. The Chronicle is either
against the conviction of Ruef or else
1t has been sold out by Its reporters
and its editor needs a guardian to
protect him against his employees. s.
Admit the truth for once in your
life, Mike de Young. and tell the pub
lie that you have been paid good money
to help acquit Ruef for the benefit
of the criminal officials of the public
service corporations who are under in
dictment.

ceive the punishment they so richly
aeserve. for it would be calamitous to
have il go forth that the crime OF de-
bauching a city government is lightly
regarded by San Francisco" why did
NJ H. de Young permit his reporters
10 misrepresent the evidence and the
prosecution in each and all of the
three Ford trials, as well as in the
Ruef trial?
Moreover. If the Chronicle hopes that
Ruef can be convicted and thinks that
the prosecution displays lack of legal
ability. why does it not truthfully and
charitably point out the mistakes which
have been made by the prosecution In
the trial of Ruef? Moreover, If the
Chronicle hopes for the conviction of
Ruef why does it not kindly inform us
by what witnesses Ruef can be con-
victed? Has not the Chronicle de-
nounced over and over again the grant
ing of immunity to supervisors? Does
it expect to convict Ruef without their
testimony, OF does ii expect them to
testify and thus acknowledge their own
guilt. thereafter to be themselves con-
victed upon their own testimony?
WHY NOT CALHOUN ALSO.
II this is good sauce for the super
visors to eat. why is it not equally good
for Patrick Calhoun and TREY L. Ford :?
The Chronicle has not complained about
the refusal of Patrick Calhoun or Tirey
L. Ford to testify. Indeed, it seems to
entertain the belief that they have a
constitutional right not to furnish evil
dence against themselves. How much
must a man be worth in worldly goods
before this constitutional right applies
TO him under the Chronicles theory of
the fitness of things?
But il the Chronicle would not COM
pei the supervisors to furnish evidence
against themselves, contrary to their
constitutional rights, upon what evil
dence would ii have US convict them?
Would it agree to have Patrick CAL
houn, Tirey I. Ford and Abe Ruef tes-
tify upon the trial of the supervisors
that they paid the bribe money to them
Does it want us to\grant immunity to
Ruef in order to get his testimony that
he paid the bribe money to Gallagher to
be distributed among the supervisors.
or does 1t again expect US to convict
the supervisors by having them testify
against themselves. or is it ready to in
sist that the trial jury shall convict
them without any evidence whatever?

PARIS, May 3o.--J. Martin Miller,
former American consul at Rheims and
who was mentioned in the suit recently
brought in New York by Mae c. Wood
against Senator Thomas c. Platt for
divorce, has instituted suits for defama-

these journals of certain matters al
legged to have come out during the
hearing of the Wood Platt case
The papers printed the substance of
Millers alleged statement produced by
Miss Wood in court. Both the French

Is COLUMBIA NINE SOLD?
Famous Property of Sumpter District
May BE Rejuvcnated.

1t Is rumored in Sumpter today that
the Columbia mine. one of the old
standby producers of the Sumpter
district is TO have new ownership,
says the Baker City Herald
While there is nothing definite Civ
en- out II is understood that New York
parties have had mining engineers and
experts on the property at different
times within the past few months
making reports on conditions of the
mine, grade of the ores, and possible
improvements.
Charles Leibenstein. according to
the rumor, is the man who is making
the deal and If this be true there is
some reason to believe that there may
be a foundation for the rumor, as Mr..
Leibenstein has In the past some very
handsome transactions in Idaho min
ing country.
Should the Columbia change hands
1t will probably add a new impetus to
mining in eastern Oregon. Not that
the great mine has not been a wonder
full payer in the past, for It has, but
a deal on a large property always ex-
cites more or less interest from min
ing people and causes investigation in
to surrounding mines and country that
probably otherwise would not be
made.

Walla Walla, Wash, May 14.-To
save $4,000 In wages and at the same
time control to some extent the dust
which troubles travellers. is the plan
of General Superintendent Buckley OF
the o. r. & n. who this year proposes
to allow weeds to grow along the
tracks wherever 1t is possible. Instead
of keeping the track clear OF weeds
by cutting them with shovels, the Sec
tion men are instructed to allow them
to grow, keeping them trimmed close
to the rails that they may not come In
contact with the wheels Of cars and
cause trouble.
It is estimated that the company
spends $4,000 each year in cutting
weeds and, incidentally. keeping the
soil worked so that winds catch the
dust. and during hot weather enough
of It is carried along the rapldly-mov-
ing trains to almost strangle the pas
sengers. Wherever weeds have been
allowed to grow dust has never troubl-
ed, and this fact has caused Mr.. Buck
ley to try the experiment of allowing
weeds and grass to cover the ties,
especially the soil at the ends Of the
ties outside the rails.
The company is now figuring on
sowing a short, thick grass on the line
to form a mass of roots to prevent the
dust from raising. 1t is said that
some heavy, short grass can be grown
for this purpose with splendid results.
and even where the track has to be
worked a great deal the grass will soon
take root again and cover the surface
so that dust will not raise by the sue
ton of passing trains.
Roadbed treatment with oil gives
splendid satisfaction after the oil set
ties. but the dust picked up by trains
before the oil disappears in the soil
has tendency to stain clothing as II
touched with fresh grease. and con-
siderable complaint always follows the
use of oil on this account.

HIGH SCHOOLS
IN TRACK MEET
BAKER CITY EVENT
TO BE WELL ATTENDED
Teams from PendletOn, la Grande,

City-Will Participate-Baker Is
Hopeful Of Winning Many Points
All the Schools Have Fast Men.

The Baker City Herald says Of the
eastern oregon high school field meet
which is to be participated in by six
eastern Oregon high school teams at
Baker City this week.
Unusual interest centers in the
track and field meet to be held in this
city on May 16 in which all the
schools Of eastern Oregon will be
probably Weston and Payette will
represented. Pendleton, La Grande,
Island City, Cove, Union, Ontario, and
send teams to participate in the va
rious events.
When the meet was first called 1t
looked as though Pendleton had a
mortgage on the meet, but in the last
few days developments have put a
different appearance on things.
Pendleton was depending greatly on
Ora Jay to win a large number Of
points, but reports have been quietly
circulating recently to the effect that
Jay will not be the only man in the
meet. Word comes from Ontario that
one Of the sons Of the sagebrush plains
has knack for pole vaultlng that
will leave Jay in the shade.
Oscar Enberg is again taking an ac-
tive part in athletics of this school and

from Jay; There are some other heavy
weight men coming that will give Jay
a hard struggle in various events. Jay
may take the high jump, but will not
win as many points as his supporters
have been counting on.
When 1t comes to the sprints there
will be a warm contest for first place
for Baker, Pendleton and Island City
have fast men and if they are in good
condition the sprints will be about the
prettiest events pulled off. Interest
in the event is growing every day and
the meet will undoubtedly be the
greatest ever held in this city.

THE BEES AND THE DRoNEs.
An Economic Fable on the Social
Conditions of Today.


New York City, May 15.-(To the
Editor of the East Oregonlan)-And
(drones) owned all the fields and
flowers and had fine wire screens
It came to pass that the male bees
placed over them with large easily
read signs prominently displayed
warning the busy bees to keep off the
fields and flowers. Others read mo
trespassing allowed under penalty or
the law" still others read. "This is
private property, beware of the dos" "
etc.
In addition the drones hired giant
hornets with long sharp stingers and
fed them we'll to see that the laws
were enforced. AS a result the busy
bees were idle, discontented and hun
CRY and unhappy. SO they held meet
ings and swarmed into the public
squares and passed resolutions and APP
pointed committees to call on the
drones and demand that the screens be
removed and that they be allowed to
gather honey from the fields and
flowers
But the drones preached to them
and told them that the reason they
were poor and hungry was because
they were too fond of the juice of the
poppy-corn flower, and that they had
too many baby bees which caused ov-
er population and congestion and that
they needed a higher tariff to keep
out foreign pauper honey which caus-
ed over-production so that the drones
and the hornets couldn't possibly eat
II all and therefore they must be pa
tient and cheerful until the drones
could get rid of 1t and then they would
take the covers off the fields and
flowers and give them chance to go
to work again.
In the meantime they should be ap-
timistic and cheerful and happy and
love one another and be honest and
respect the rights and sacredness of
private property, especially in the
fields and flowers which was the very
foundation of society and that they
should never forget that there had
always been poor bees as long ago as
