Women Arrested for Breaking
Up a Religious Meeting
Saturday Night.
REV. COFFEY ASSAULTED
FOUR TIMES IN SIX MONTHS
Church Fight at Salem Resulted in
Suspension OF j. f. GOoda and This
Is Followed by Assault on Minister
Mrs. Nettie Rhoades and Miss
Lulu Good, Sisters, Under Arrest
Husband and Brother Assisted.

Salem, April 6.-As the result Of an
assault Saturday night, Mrs. Nettie
Rhoades and Lulu Good, sisters, were
arrested this morning charged with
breaking up a religious meeting and
were brought before Judge Webster,
where they pleaded not guilty.
In the preliminary examination It
developed that the two women, ac-
companfed by the husband and broth
er, met Presiding Elder w. H. Coffey
of the district Free Methodist church
and horsewhipped him.
The women allege that Coffey made
certain statements about them which
they did not like. Rev. Coffey states
the trouble grows out of charges
against J. F. Goode, upon which the
latter was suspended from the church.
He asserts that this is the fourth
time he has been assaulted since last
November.

the senatorial campaign in Umatilla
county in an address to the voters at
the court house tonight. He has just
arrived in the city from eastern Ore

reception and where he addressed
large audiences everywhere.
He is making an excellent cam

day as he explains his attitude in IA
vor of popular government and the
peoples choice for senator. Mr..
Cake is pleasing and able speaker
and presents his platform in plausi-
BILE and logical manner and has
strengthened statement No. in Ore
gon wonderfully by his effective
campaign.
Flattering reports have come from
his campaign in western Oregon and

Representatives OF the Company
Will Appear Before Weston Councn
April t5-Plans for PendlWOn.

! On April 10 representatives Of the
Walla Walla Traction company, which
operates the electric railway between
Walla Walla and Milton, will appear
before the city council OF Weston to
ask for n franchise for the construc-
tion of an electric railway through
| Weston's streets, and 1t is believed
that within six months the line will
be extended to that place.
Surveying crews, as announced
! from time to time in the East Ore
gonian, have been at work between
Milton and Weston for the past month
and It is said that practically all Of
the right-of-way between the two
towns has been secured already.
Ties for 100 miles of new line have
also been ordered, and agents of the
company, while reticent as to the ex-
act plans of the company are yet very
active in the vicinity of Weston, Ath-
ena and Milton, and are making loca-
tions and securing right-of-way in a
business like and energetic manner
Weston will grant the franchise to
be asked for, 1t is thought, without
hesitation and will give the company
every inducement to build its line to
that place
There is not the least doubt about
the intention of the Walla Walla Trac-
tion company to build to Pendleton,
according to the statements of those
who are in position to know, and It is
thought that as soon as the Weston
franchise is secured that work will be-
gin between Weston and Pendleton to
secure right-of-way and franchises II

notes of every speech. would be well
come information at the Fulton head
quarters. The stenographers were not
discovered until Saturday night at Sa-

companied the senator throughout his

The theory is advanced that they
may be employed by J. s. Smith, ex-
senator. who is suing Fulton for SLAM
der, or they may be in the employ of
Governor Chamberlain, who wanted
to get complete copies of Fulton's
speech for campaign purposes.
