SPECIAL ELECTION
HELD AT LA GRANDE TO-DAY

The city of La Grande will have
special election today for the adop-
ton or rejection of new city char
ter, says the Star. The document pro-
posed is very voluminous and it has
been printed in pamphlet form for the
benefit of those who may have had
desire to inform themselves as to its
provisions. Voters who have not al
ready examined the proposed charter
will have but little time in which to
become acquainted with its provi-
sions. One of the main objects of the
adoption of a new charter, so il is
given out, is to make possible the con-
struction of the proposed Beaver
creek water supply system. 1t comes
from those in authority that the city
cannot legally bond itself for the re-
quired amount. 100000, unless there
is new charter-or, at least, il is
said that the bonds cannot be perfect
ed in way that they will be taken
under the present charter although
there is a bid in and the same has
been accepted for the sale of the en-
tire amount of the bonds at what is !
regarded as a good figure.

LOCAL CHINESE
IN MOURNING
BUSINESS SUSPENDED IN
PENDLETON CHINATOWN
Local Colony of Cinnamon Show Re-
gret for Death of Emperor and
DOwager Empress-Memorial Ser
vices Will BE Held in Near Future
Period of Mourning Will Last a
Week.

To show their regret over the death
of the Chinese emperor and of the
empress dowager, the Pendleton Chi
nese colony is now in mourning.
Crepe is upon the doors in Chinatown
and yesterday business of all kinds
was completely suspended.
Though business is now under way
as usual the crepe VIII be left upon
the doors for a week or longer and
some day in the near future a me-
memorial service will be held in the
reform association room. At that
time the death of the emperor will
be mourned in ritualistic fashion.
When asked why they did not go
into mourning sooner one Chinaman
declared today that they did not re-
ceive official word of the emperor's
death until yesterday. 1t came to-
them from New York city and the
news embodied a request that appro-
pirate services be held.

The Verdict.

San Francisco, Nov. 24.-The ver-
Diet rendered late yesterday in the in
quest of Morris Haas, the would be
assassin of Heney, censures the po-
lice. A part of the verdict reads:
I'VE further find from numerous
witnesses that gross neglect and in
competency was shown by the police
officials having charge of the search
ing Of the prisoner. and in not prop
erly safeguarding the best interests
of the people, thus making it impos-
sible for the small derringer to re-
main secreted on his person."
The verdict deplores the feeling Of
animosity between the police and the
district attorneys office and suggests
that the mayor investigate this.
While hitting the police, the ver-
dict is looked upon as a vindication
OF their theory that Haas carried the
derringer with him in his shoe into
his cell. Burns and Langdon hold
the pistol was gwen to Haas after he
entered the Jail.

ELLIS GOES To
WASHINGTON
SAYS WOULD LIKE
TO REMAIN HERE
Immediately After Arrival at Capital
VIII Take Up Propositions of In
tcrest 10 This Section. Among Them
the Experiment Stations and Post
office Building-NO Hope for New
Federal District

81 would like to stay here n month
longer. The weather is much nicer
here than it will be in Washington" I"
declared Congressman w, r. Ellis
this morning while discussing his de-
parture for the capital city.
At 4:4O this evening Judge and
Mrs. Ellis will leave for Washington
in order to be there for the opening
of congress a week from Monday.
Upon his arrival at Washington
Judge Ellis will at once take up sew
eral subjects that are of importance
to this section. Among these are
those relating to the experiment sta
tlons to be established by the govern
ment, the federal building for PEN
dleton and other things.
According to the judge II would be
improper for him to take any part in
the selection of site for the federal
building, So If the building is be-
ing withheld because of the inabil-
ity OF the government to select a site
he will keep his hands off. But
while doing this he will urge the de-
partment to act with all the speed
possible and will try to prevent the
matter from being "pigeon-holed" for
any reason.
Regarding the experiment stations,
Judge Ellis has so far received no in
formation other than that contained
in the press dispatches from Wash
ington. Last spring Secretary Wilson
was ready to cooperate in the estab-
lishment of an experiment station up
on the project, but at that time no
money was available for equipping
the station. This difficulty has SEEM
ingly been overcome.
New District Delayed.
As to the establishment of new
federal judicial district in Oregon Mr.
Ellis says absolutely nothing can be
accomplished until a new judiciary
committee is named. The present
committee is strictly opposed to the
creation of new districts and while
the committee is constituted as at
present there will be nothing doing
towards creating new districts.

New York, Nov. 24.-Rockefeller
today faced Kellogg Cor a final grill
ing in the government suit to dissolve
the Standard oil company Of New
Jersey. 1t is probable that Arch
bold. vice president of the company,
will be the next witness.
The latter may take up the story
where Rockefeller left off at the pc
riod of development in 1882 and will
carry the narrative to the present
date.
Kellogg will use the previous testi-
mony of Archbold before the congress
sional committee, and other bodies in
an effort to confuse him. The mem
ories OF Rockefeller and Archbold
Will not agree on important points.
Kellogg today took up the investi-
cation of the system of stock distri-

feller a number of questions along
that line.

An unusual disappearance was that
reported to the local police last night
by G. w. MCGEE of Covington, who
came to this city in search of his

WOMAN DRINKS CARBOL|C ACID
WHEN HUSBAND SUES FOR DIVORCE

1t is said that a day or two after
the annullment of the marriage Mrs.
StrOm made an unsuccessful attempt
to kill herself, while at the home of
a friend near the state line.
Yesterday Mrs. Strom left Walla
Walla on the II o'clock car On her
arrival there she went to the Milton
hotel, ate hearty meal and after
ward engaged a room. She then
went to a nearby drug store where
she procured a tablet and envelopes,
and then came back to her room,
where she wrote four letters-one to
her lover, Arie Graham, one to Guy
Hern, who has been a friend of the
family, one to her father. William
Walsh, who resides at 721 First, and
one to the public
In her letter to Graham Mrs.
Strom told of the tragic circumstan-
ces of her life and takes all the blame
of the affair on herself. She also de-
olared her undying love for him. and
enclosed her wedding ring, together
with several other small presents
which he had given her.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-11-24

A tragic sequal to the filing of a
divorce suit in the circuit court of
Umatilla county, was enacted Sunday
in the hotel at Milton when
Mrs. Daisy Strom made a second
attempt to end her own life by drink
ing carboic acid. 1t was thought for
a time that death would be inevitable,
but she was taken to the hospital in
Walla Walla and at 8 o'clock this
afternoon was still alive.
Mrs. Strom, it is asserted, tried to
take her life because she was pre-
vented by a former marriage from
living as the legal wife of the man she
loved. She is 2S years of age.
II is asserted that Mrs. Strom was
welded to A. h. Strom of Dayton
Wash, several years ago and that two
years ago she left him, not having Sc
cured divorce. November of this
year she married Arie Graham, seven
years her junior, the couple moving
to Mr.. Graham's farm home near
Cobb station below Milton. Graham
learned OF his wife's former marriage
and had his marriage annulled.

MANGLED GIRL WAS
\ CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST

Los Angeles. Nov. Eft was dis
covered today that the young woman
whose mangled body was found upon
the railroad tracks near Alhambra,
was a Christian Scientist. This is the
only progress the police have made
towards establishing her identity. 1t
Is known that the girl spent saturday
in seeking the home Of Mrs. Clara
Carlson, a Christian Scientist reader.
II is supposed that on her return
from Pasadena to Los Angeles she
was struck by the train which sud
denly appeared out of the fog. The
police are working on the theory that
1t was an accident, not murder or
suicide.
