3, G. McKOWEN

A renewed effort on the part OF
detectives is now being made IN
Jackson. The Pinkerton Nation
al Agency has it's men again on
the scene, and the agent work
ing for McKowen's interests,
is also at work. With all this &C
tivity, feeling is keyed up to the
highest note of apprehension
among the citizens.
The report has had the effect
of renewing instead of settling
differences of opinion, an untor'
inmate state of affairs for the de-
voted town.
1t is expected that when the
Federal Grand Jury meets II
Baton Rouge on the 9th, that de
velopment along the line o:

Detectives Make Report.

the detectives employed by citi-
zens of Jackson to inquire into
the attempted assassination OF
DR.. E. G.. McKoWen on Oct. 3,
was given to the press. last week,
and duly appeared in the South
ern Waterman of Clinton only,
the New Orleans daily papers
for some reason, not publishing
it. This paper was not furnish
ed with a copy in time to make
publication of it. The peculiar
form in which the report is
couched, however, makes it in
some paragraphs, libelous in
character, and on advice Of legal
counsel we have decided not to
publish it.
The salient points Of the de-
tectives' report are that the ex-
plosion caused by the dynamite
contained in an aluminium stew
pan placed under DR.. McKowen's
back steps, and covered over
with a chair bottom and piece
of slate did not produce the eff
fects to be expected of dynamite.
"Under such conditions" they
say 1T would follow that gen
uine explosion of dynamite then
occurring would have the effect
of a terrific combustion which
should not only have shattered
in the first place, the chair bot,
tom, but have entirely ruined the
steps under which the dynamite
was placed. The chair bottom
examined by our operatives, In
dicates powder marks, but, be
yond this, there is no evidence o.
injury to the chair bottom, NJ

McKowen testified that she say

tolls in a different direction from
that in which he states the shoot

Improved Market for Raw Cotton.

development of an improved
market for raw cotton will
receive first attention at
the National Farmers Union
Convention which is to be held in
New Orleans, November 11-12,
along with the proposal to move
the headquarters of the Union to
New Orleans. Some progress in
this direction has already been
made, but the interior ware
houses and selling agencies have
found that they are seriously |
handicapped because they lack
port warehouses and port sell
ing facilities, hence the impor-
lance of this subject during the
New Orleans meeting.
President G. S. Barrett has
had these matters under serious
consideration for some time and
has expressed much interest in
the plan for the construction of a
monster storage and export
warehouse in New Orleans. This
plan provides for maximum eff
cheney and minimum cost Incl
dent to the receiving of cotton
from the trains and steamboats,,
it's sampling, marking and stor-
age and when sold, maximum
promptness in delivering the cot
, ton to the exporter on board the
ship alongside the warehouse.
The plan contemplates economies
by reason of machinery, equip
= ment for handling and fire proof
construction, that will save the
producer hundreds of thousands
. of dollars annually on fire insur
ance, probably a million OF two

STRANGE EXHIBITS.
Sticks and Stones Figure in Card Di-
vOrce Case.

Mistaken again! That pile of rocks
which decorates the circuit court
room is not for the foundation of a
new palace of justice, neither is the
piece of 2x4 scantling one of the tim
bers of such a building; the facts are
altogether different.
The stones and the scantling are
simply exhibits in the divorce case Of
Card VS.. Card. in which the original
suit filed by w. P. Card is being con-
tested by a counter suit of Mrs. Card,
claiming also a divorce ami upon the
same grounds-cruel and inhuman
treatment. They are the pcrsuaders
used by the Cards, according to the
testimony in settling small difficult
ties.
The mthod of settling small diff
culties however, lead to the creation
of larger ones and the case now is be-
il g most bitterly fought. Evidence
in rebuttal was brought in this after
noon. Both sides allege great cruel
ties and some tirhe ago Card asked an
injunction TO keep his wit. from NAL
treating him.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The cause of
the recent disagreement between Taft
and Representative Burton of Ohio,
was explained today by Chairman
Brown of the Ohio republican CEN
tral committee. Brown said the split
was caused primarily by Taft's belief
that Burton misrepresented his atti-
tude on the Ohio senatorial fight.
He denied that the break resulted
from Taft's opposition to Burton rum
ming against his brother Charlie in
the senatorial fight. Taft became an
cry with Burton after a conversation
with the latter in which he told Bur-
ton he was not politically embarrass-
ed by the candidacy of his brother,
Charles Taft, and that he thought his
brother should enter the race.
Taft was angry because the impress
sion has gained strength that Taft
has expressed himself as being under
obligation to Burton.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 21.-An-
drew Carnegie. who recently declared
that the tariff on steel was unneces-
sary, today testified before the house
committee on ways and means in the
tariff hearing.
He testified as follows: my point
is that the cost of production is
cheaper here than abroad, that no
tariff is needed and that 1t is impos-
sible for foreigners to compete seri-
ously with home manufacturers"
There are more ways of figuring
the cost of production than there are
ways of killing cat" said Carnegie,
"One thing is certain, and that is that
steel now can be made cheaper in
America than In foreign countries.
The English steel corporation pays
twenty cents ton royalty on its ore"

Have Acted Upon Petition Alone
and that Election Was Not Held in
Accordance With Law.

There may have been peace at the
last election in Hermiston, but it was
the calm before the storm-the storm
of legal battle which will break at the
close of the Card divorce case in the
district court today over the quo war
ranto proceeding brought by Attor-
ney r. r. johnson, acting for several
prominent citizens of the irrigation
town to knock out the incorporation
of the city,
Mr.. Johnson and District Attorney
G. W. Phelps will represent the state
in the proceedings, while F. H. Bart
lett and r. J. Slater will defend the
city and its officials.
The complainants in the case will
contend that the city was never le-
gally incorporated, insomuch as the
action in granting the petition for in
corporation was taken by the county
judge, sitting as court with the county
commissioners. whereas, so it is con-
tended, the county judge alone should
have passed upon and decided the
merits of the Incorporation petition.
1t will also be contended that the
election was illegal insomuch as the
ballots cast were not of proper form,
it is claimed
Also during the course of the pro-
ceedings the plaintiff will probably
bring up the question of the Hermis-
ton election of year ago, alleging 1t
to have been fraudulent and to have
been conducted without regard to the
election laws.
On the other hand the defense will
contend that the city of Hermiston
was legally and regularly organized, !
an election on the question of incor- !
poration having been properly author
zed, at which a majority of ballots
cast were infavor of an Incorporated
town, and at which officers were duly
and regularly elected.

Bishop brothers have accepted the
suggestion made by local business men
that wooden mill bonds be sold for the
purpose of raising local capital to fl
nance the mill and this afternoon an
offer for the purchase of the mill will
be made to the Judds.
A statement to this effect was made
this afternoon by r. C, Taylor, who
is at the head of the organization that
is working to retain the mill.
The decision 10 accept the PROPOSE
ton to float a $4,000 bond issue was
reached by the Bishop brothers Satur-
day. After being here all day and
going over the situation with his
brother Clarence Bishop, returned
Saturday night to his home in Salem.
AS matters now stand it is up TO
the local people to meet the condi-
tions under which the Bishops wish to
secure the mill Their terms in brief
are that Pendleton people raise $780,
600, while they, the Bishops, invest
$4,000. Then the mill machinery is
to be purchased at a stipulated price,
a suitable rate secured on electric
power. the mill property be exempted
from a city tax for 30 years and the
mill company allowed to make the ne
cessary sewer connections.
at is now up to the people of PEN
dleton to meet these conditions" said
Roy r. Bishop today. 1--WE have made
the most favorable offer possible and
it is a more favorable proposition than
we could make in many places
At o'clock this afternoon a meet
ing of the business men interested in
the proposition was held and just
prior to the gathering T. C. Taylor an
nounced that an offer would be made
to the Judds during the afternoon. He
also ventured the opinion that if the
min can be secured at the proper
price and the 1000 bond issue dis
posed of all the other conditions i'm
posed by the Bishops can be met.
Already some work has been done
done towards disposing of the bonds
and success is being met with.
