bic Who Come and TO
FOUR BABIES
FOUR BABIES B~BEIAOSFRU


One Of the most pitiable cases that
has come to the attention of the
Kings Daughters is Sat of the Staut
family. in the little house south of
the Gardner place.
Four little children in that house
are down with typhoid pneumonia
and the baby is expected not to live.
In addition to the sickness is pow
erty, absolute and wretched, and
when the Kings Daughters went out
to see the family there was hardly
a scrap to eat in the house.
The father has been working as
hard as he could and has been do
ing what he could to bear the terri
fc expenses of sickness but when
the children became 50 i'll he was
compelled to leave his work to assist
the mother in caring for the children.
The Kings Daughters took a
trained nurse out this morning and
will assist as far as possible in the
matter. Stauts has two brothers in
lnyo county who are reputed to be
wealthy and an effort will be made
to find them that they may come to
the assistance Of their own who are
in absolute need. Meantime some
provisions and wood will be appreci'
ated. as the Kings Daughters re-
sources are limited. Phone Mrs.
| Mary Wall.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 20.-It is
believed that six men lost their lives
as a result of an explosion on board
the Hamburg liner Arcadia today The
ship was practically destroyed by
fire.
Chief Officer Kruger was badly
burned on the face and hands, while
rescuing the injured. He saved many
lives. He rushed into the flames and
carried out two dead negroes and 10
injured.
A roll call this afternoon showed a
score are missing. Many were seen
to jump overheard and are believed
to have drowned.
Twenty-Five men were below the
matches when the explosion occurred
and 1t is not known whether all of
them came up.
Thirty are known to have been in
jured.
The steamer, which carried much
freight, settled into the mud, and 1t
is believed the entire interior is de-
stroyed. The fire boats were pour
ing water into the hold, but the
flames spread beyond control.
The only explanation is that the
explosion was caused by gas
The Arcadia steamed up the bay
this morning after completing her
voyage from Hamburg and was near
the dock at the time of the accident.

No BLUE LAWS
FOR PENDlETON
ICE CREAM PARLORS AND
CIGAR STORES UNMOLESTED.
Efforts Of SaloOnmen and Interests

VIII BE Made TO Enforce Antiquat-
cd Statute.

There Is no danger the ice cream
parlors, cigar stores and drug stores
Of Pendleton will have to close up on
Sundays and those who have conjur-
ed themselves into believing that such
a state may come to pass have done
so enormously. That il would be
pleasing to some men to see the en-
tire city closed there is no doubt, for
it would be sweet revenge for the
saloonmen and some others who were
opposed to prohibition.
But the state law regarding Sunday
closing is such that a conviction un-
der the same is practically impossible
even If such were desired. But Dis
trict Attorney Phelps has no desire
to assist in spite work that would in
jure the city and 1t is very evident
that those wanting blue" Sundays
have reckoned without that import
ant official.
This forenoon Mr.. Phelps stated
that If complaints are made regarding
Sunday violations the cases will be
referred to the grand jury. If the
parties implicated are in business and
are men located here permanently in
the city no arrests will be made.
Should they be transents a bond will
be required.
This has been the method of the
district attorney in the past and in
each instance 1t has meant that no in
dictments were returned. The gener-
al state Sunday closing law provides
that circumstances of necessity and
mercy" may be pleaded in defense OF
violation and this provision practi-
cally nuhlfies the law, for in the
average case 1t amounts really to an
instruction for acquittal. This being
the case grand juries have refused to
indict in the past and seemingly there
is no reason to expect anything diff
ferent in the future.

UP to this time It is known that at

Butte, Mont, June 20.-Lous Fer
ris was last night acquitted OF the
charge of murder in connection with
the alleged dynamiting Of the over
land Burlington train near this city
May /, last, the jury celebrating
scarcely an hour. Ferris, who is a
youth of 23 years of age, confessed to
dynamiting the train, but the defense
claimed that the confession had been
wrung from Ferris by third degree
methods.
Ferris mother and sister testified
that they heard the officers promise
the prisoner a job Of driving a team,
new suit OF clothes, freedom and
other things If he would acknowledge
the dynamiting Of the train.
The defense insisted that a defec-
tive rail not dynamite caused the
wreck Of the train, introducing a
number OF witnesses to bear out the
contention.
Ferris was tried for the murder of
Engineer A. c. Bussey, who was kill
ed in the wreck. The other murder
charges yet remain against Ferris.

transferred here from Chicago. To-
day the city has the appearance of a
presidential election time, so great is
the enthusiasm.
Taft arrived from Washington at
$50 and was greeted at the station
by a tremendous throng, which
cheered and made a Wild demonstra-
tion.
Sherman arrived from Chicago 10
minutes earlier with Charles Taft,
and the subcommittee of the ma
tional committee which confers here
on the appointment OF a permanent
chairman TO manage the campaign.
Sherman and the national committee
were given almost as great an ovation
as Taft received.
Two bands were at the station with
a carriage prepared for a parade
through the city. The line of pro-
cesslon through Taft's home city was
continuous triumphal march. the
streets being blocked all along.
Everybody was out TO cheer "Our
