BLOW TOBREWERIES
Supreme Court in Important
Decision Just Made Gives
Them Hard Rap.
CORPORATION UNLICENSED
Obligations Involving Sale Of Liquors
Considered Without Legal
Standing.

A decision of great Importance TO the
breweries OF Connecticut has Just been
handed down by the supreme court Of
errors sitting In this city. and which
was discussed at length yesterday by
lawyers throughout New Haven. The
case was Meriden case. and grew out
of the failure OF Bernard Murphy.
The attorneys are practically unanl-
nous in accepting one ruling as mean
Ing that brwing corporations In this
state cannot legally recover obligations
involving the sale of spirltuous and
intoxicating liquors.
At the time that Murphy went to the
wall In the saloon business In Meriden,
the Connecticut Brewing company,
whi1n has a brewery In that city, held
two promlsory notes from him, amount J
ing with Interest TO about $4,000. when
were occurred by mortgages on proper
ty. The company acquired title In fore
closure proceedings TO houses owned by
Murphy on Goodwill avenue, Crown
street and over east. Then house
burned in South Meriden and Murphy,
as part owner with John A. Hurley,
now OF Bridgeport, was to have recelv.
ed insurance money, but the brewing
company stepped in and attached his
portion.
Mr. Murphy decided TO contest the
suit Through Attorney c. J, Danaher
he set up the novel defense that the
brewing company has received the
notes in an illegal transaction; that is
that It had no license when II sold
liquors to Murphy.
II was contendcd on the other side,
which was represented by Attorney ?.
T. O'i3rlen. that the county commission
ers required the brewing corporation
to take out licenses in the name of the
officer or employee regardless OF the
wishes OF the brewery in the matter
In this instance John II. Mcmahon. the
secretary OF the corporation, held tho
license In his name. The county com
missloners argued that this course was
wisest in that It greatly simpli1ed con-
ditions IN dealing with any violation
of the liquor law. For example Il
might be troublesome in falling the
corporation.
Judge Roraback OF the superior court
found In favor OF the Connecticut
Brewcrles company. and the defendant
appealed to the highest court In tho
commonwealth.
That court SAYS Error. Judgment
OF superior court reversed, and cause
remanded for further proceeding, ac
cording 10 law" The opinion was writ
/ ten by Judge Hamersley.

Expelled Dutch Minister Says His
Government Sanctioned Action.

Caracas, Venezuela, Saturday, July
25.--M. De Reus, the minister Of the
Netherlands, who has been expelled by
President Castro has answered the
very general criticism to which he has
been subjected since the crisis which
followed his having put on paper state
ments derogatory to Venezuela by say
Ing that he wrote the Inflated letter
that was published in the monthly bull
letin Of the "Hou'en Trou' with the
entire cognizanee and approval of his
home government. If this Is true here
is still chance that the Netherlands
government will create an incident out
of the expulsion of its ministers. The
severlng Of diplomatic relations be-
tween Venezuela and Holland had been
expected for some time because Of the
friction over Curacao and the arcmoni-
Gus notes that had recently been ex-
changed between the two governments.

PENDLETON PROGRESSIVE, SAYS ]. D. LEE

Hon j. d. Lee of Portland, presi-
Dental elector and native son, who
was the principal speaker of the af-
ternoon program at the fair, arrived
on the early morning train. Being
the son of parents who crossed the
plains with prairie schooners" in
1S47, and being born the following
year i'm Polk county, near the present
site of Monmouth, Mr.. Lee was ca
pable of speaking understandingly
upon his subject, The oregon Pio-
neer."
When seen this morning by a re-
porter, Mr., Lee stated that though he
is one of the republican presidential
electors he is not here at this time
politically but merely in response to
the invitation of the fair committee
and that he would refrain from maxi
ing statements of a political nature
or making a campaign for theticket.
He intimated that he might return
later for this purpose.
In answer to a direct question.
however, Mr. Lee insisted that outside
of the personal interest which he had
in the matter, he felt confident that
the electoral vote of the state would
be cast for Taft ana

sherman.
Mr.. Lee was in Pendleton for the
first time in the year 1881. Since
that time he has been here on a num-
Der of different occasions, but at no
time has he noted or been so favor
ably impressed with the growth and
development of the city, He said the
large number of elegant and modern
homes, the blocks of brick business
buildings, the paved streets and all
the modern Improvements which
heretofore have only been found in
the larger cities, are striking indica-
tions Of progressive spirit
In speaking of the conditions
throughout the state at the present
time as compared with last fall. Lee
gave it as his opinion that Oregon is
getting close to normal conditions
once more. The low prices being paid
for hops in the Willamette valley. he
thought would tend to reduce the
usual amount of money received for
the products of that section of the
state. but that Notwithstanding this
fact the effects of last fall's panic
would soon be forgotten there and
more quickly in eastern Oregon where
good crops and good prices prevail.

albuquerque, Sept. ga bitter
attack on the national forest reserve
policy of Chief Forester Pinchot in
California and on the Pacific coast,
threatens the disruption of the 16tn
national irrigation congress which
convened today.
The Pacific coast delegates are
prepared to make a bitter assault
upon what they term the "unwarrant-
Ell Czarism" of the forester. Pinchot
is present as the representative OF
President Roosevelt and his support
ers and the friends of the administra-
ticn are gathering to his defense.
They accuse the leaders in the revolt
against Pinchot of representing the
cattle barons.
Judge d. c. Dean of Denver, gen.
eral counsel for the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company. has threatened to come
and deliver a denunciation of Pinchot
from the floor of the congress. The
forester's enemies say that he charges
so great a price for the privilege OF
allowing cattle TO feed on the range
that it is impossible for small cattle
men to use the national ranges.
Spokane wants the next congress,
and from the fight its delegates are
making the inland empire city seems
to stand a good chance of winning
the plum.
There are $500 delegates and TO-
coo visitors present.

President Roosevelt in letter re-
ceived by the congress today, stated
his regret at his inability to attend

one of the most remarkable items

the East Oregonian. Yesterday while
talking with Mr., and Mrs. Charles
Ogilvic the pioneers of the Pilot Rock
district, 1t was learned that they
had gathered AZ distinct varieties of
farm products from this farm south
west of the city, for the district fair
exhibit This probably stands as a
unique record for this fair and is
worthy of every possible word of pub
licity that can be given it. 1t indi-
Gates beyond any doubt the produc-
tiveness Of the soil Of this county,
since this enormous number of pro-
ducts were gathered in the most un-
favorable year in a decade, on account
OF the long continued dry weather.

center and finally Pilot Rock, in the
heart of the Umatilla county livestock
belt, has been selected and If the deal
goes through, one of the greatest

hay and barley of the Pilot Rock dis
trict for fattening thousands of head
of cattle and sheep.
Owing to the shipping facilities and
to the immense quantities of hay and
barley produced there and also to the
great cattle and sheep raising districts
adjacent, Pilot Rock has been looked
upon by the company as the best To-
cation in eastern Oregon for a feed
ing ground and stock-buying center.
The people of Pilot Rock are justly
proud OF the fact that their thriving
town has ben selected as the site for
such an important industry and every
thing will be done to close the deal for
a good tract of land near the city for
the purposes of the packing COM
pany. 1t will perhaps be known def
initely this week If the company Sc

Italian Resident of Los Angeles
Breaks Silence of so Years and
Tells of Gigantic Conspiracy in At
rcmpt at Assassination That Killed
Ten and Wounded 80. Although In
tended Victim Escapcd.

Los Angeles Sept 29.-Breaking
his silence Of half a century, confess
ing his part in one of the bloodest
attempts at assassination of the 18th
century, Comte Camille De Rudio.
who is living in this city today. laid
bare the details of the famous attempt
to assassinate Emperor Louis Napol-
con and his empress in 1858. when 10
persons were killed and half a hun
dred injured by a bomb thrown at the
royal carriage.
= De Rudio has lived i'm Los Angeles
for many years. He is quiet, mild
little man. and it would be hard to
convince his neighbors that such a
gentleman of the old school had been
SO intimately connected with so great
a tragedy.
According to his story De Rudio
threw the bomb which destroyed the
royal carriage. Out of 100 bombs he
had made for that purpose three were
used, but failed in his purpose to kill
the emperor. He was suspected, ar
rested, condemned to death after a
trial, but was reprieved through the
strong influence of the English woman
whom he had married. and was sent
to DEVILS island.
From the island DeRudio escaped
and came to America Just prior to the
civil war, in which he fought under
Generals Grant and Sherman.
Four conspirators were concerned
IN the tragedy, according to De Ru-
dos story, which was given out to-
day to Ettore Patrizi. editor of an
italian newspaper in San Francisco. |
The plot was arranged in England
by one Orsini, an italian leader. and |
they learned that Napoleon and the |
Empress Eugene would attend the |
theater on January IA. The men made |
100 bombs and when the imperial |
carriage drove up to the theater one
was exploded among a Gordon of po-
lice one in the crowd about the car
rlage and the third under the carriage
itself, the latter killing the horses and
attendants Of the emperor, although
Napoleon and his empress escaped un-
hurt.
Pier and Orsini, two of the con-
spirators were executed. while the
third, Gomez was sentenced to pris-
on for life.
