the Tiburon Islands in the gulf Of
California, where a prospecting party
of eight Americans and fifty Mexi-
can soldiers are believed to have been
captured by the cannibals who killed
Professor Thomas Grindell several
years ago when that scientist headed
an expedition party to the Islands.
The cannibals are a remnant of the
Seri Indian renegades who were drv-

expedition left Disbee, Mexico, over
a month ago provisioned for 20 days,
They expected to find rich mines.
They sailed in a sloop. The wealth

The snow does not interfere with

UNG GOEY IS BEING
HELD IN SEATTLE
LOCAL CHINESE SEEKING
TO RETURN TO PENDLETON
Officials Trying 10 Prove
Former Local Chinese Leader is
Only Restaurant Keeper and Not
Entitled to Return TO America.

ing Goey, leader in Pendleton' :
Chinatown affairs, restaurant keeper
and merchant, who left for China sew
eral months ago, is being held on the
detention ship in Seattle and may not
be permitted to return to this city
This fact was made known today by
a government Inspector in the immi-
grafton service who is here for the
purpose of making an investigation
relative to Goey's standin
1t seems there is provision in the
immigration laws which make it pos
sible for n Chinese merchant in this
country to go to China and then re-
turn to this country but that a restaur-
ant keeper is denied this privilege. Ac-
cording to the federal inspector now
here. Goey is seeking to return to Am
rica as a merchant whereas the i'm
migration officials are endeavoring to
prove that he is nothing more than a
restaurant keeper.
The well-known Chinaman has al
ready been detained on the ship at
Seattle for several days, but as he is
still proprietor of the store on West
Alta street, as well as the noodle house
adjoining. it is probable that he will
finally be permitted to come to Pen
dleton.
If so, his arrival in this city will be
awaited with interest. 1t will be re-
membered that soon after his depart
ure for China that it was reported he
had deserted his wife and gone back to
his native land to remHin permanently.
Hardly had he landed upon China soil
before Mrs. Goey was arrested and
thrown in Jail on the charge OF steal
ing money belonging to the other
Cinnamon and there has been open
war between her and the remainder
of the residents of Chinatown for sew
oral months. Nearly all the crimes
i'm the catalogue have been laid at her
door by the other residents of China
town while she has been fully as gem
erous with his opponents. Goey's at
titude relative to the situation will he

Has Bill Providing for Crea-

to Fix Schedules.
ALDRICH AND CANNON
MENACE REPUBLICANISM
New Jersey Congressman Says Re
publican Party Must Break Away
From Senate and House Leaders or
Go Down I'm Dcfeat-Outlinc of
Commission Plan.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Representa-
tive Charles w. Fowler of New Jer-
sey, last night gave out a statement
outlining the tariff commission bill
which he will introduce in the house
tomorrow.
The bill as described by Mr.. Fowler
provides that congress shall fix the
maximum and minimum tariff sched
ules, or rates, and that the commits
sion, consisting of Is members shall,
with the approval of the president,
fix the actual rates to be paid at some
point between the maximum and
minimum rates so established by con-
gress.
But no rate so fixed and approved
shall become effective or operative
for Is months after having been pro-
mulgated by the president that every
industry affected by tariff changes
to new conditions.
IF any one should suggest said
Mr.. Fowler last night, that such
comm ssion could not constitutionally
fix the tariff rates at any point be
tween the maximum and minimum
rates established by congress because
that would be an exercise of leSisla-
tive power. let him ask himself
whether the power as that given to
the interstate commerce commission
and approved by the supreme court
permitting it to fix reasonable rail-
road rate"
Mr.. Fowler declares it to be per-
fectly clear that unless the repubH-
can party gets rid of Aldrichism and
Cannonism the people will get rid of
the republican party
Must stop Thief lie says.
He asserts that the peoples hopes
have been turned to disgust and their
faith to resentment and he says he
does not believe that they will per-
nit Mr.. Aldr,ch to pick their pock-
cts through the legerdemain of
words" He prophesies thunder
bolt of righteous Indignation and pun
tive wrath" as about TO strike, shat
ter ana paralyzc the republican party
unless it utterly repudiatcs Alderich-
ism and its subserv .ent implement.
Cannonism.'
Impending defeat and the loss of
the next house of representatives, Mr..
Fowler says, can be avoided only by
emblazoning on our party banners the
pledges:
First. we are against Aldr'chism
and Cannonism.
Second, we demand tariff revision
hereafter by evolution.
Third, we demand tariff revision
based on ascertained facts and not
upon selfish trades and corrupt
agreements.
Fourth. we demand a permanent,
broad and responsible tariff commits
sion which shall ascertain the facts,
obviate trade wars and assist in Sc
curing and retaining the good will
and friendship of all nations by wise.

p New York Dec. 6.-At a conference
OF the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men today Grand Master Lee and
First Vice President Murdock were
named as a committee to decide
whether the men shall go out or re-
main at work in case the demand
railroads for ten per cent increase
In pay is refused.
1t Is expected that the final
schedule Of grievances will be in the
hands Of the railroad managers
Thursday or Friday.
The following statement was is
sued at the close of the conference:
Before n general strike can be
ordered II must have the official
sanction of the grand master. In
event OF the refusal ofethe demands
a poll will be taken to re-endorse the
demands that the general strike,
when called may be unanimous and
effective. The demand has been en-
dorsed only by more than a two-thirds
vote of the membership.
THE movement planned will have
nothing in common with the general
strike being conducted at present by
the Swltchmen's Union of North Am
erica. which is distinctly a rival and
an enemy of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen.
This statement represents 10000
switchmen and trainmen."

For the first time this season sleigh
bells were heard upon the streets of
Pendleton yesterday afternoon. They
are still in evidence today. but owing
to the fact that the ground is only
covered to a depth of about four
inches, sleighing is only possible up
on the pavement or smoothest streets.
The slight amount of snow which
has been covering the ground for the
past several days was augmented yes
terday by a light fall which started
IN before daylight and continued un-
I'll dark. While the, flakes were ex-
ceedingly small and not very numer-
Gus, everyone was like a crystal of ice
and all remained on the ground.
The thermometer also registered
lower last night than it has any time
since the November cold spell when
the mercury registered one below
zero Last night it was within two
points of the zero mark. while five
above was the next coolest.
According to reports the fall of
snow is general throughout the coun-
ty and this part of eastern Oregon.

than in this city. The first snow that
fell Il few days ago only reached west
as far as Stanfield, but the present
fail is general Two feet of snow is
reported at Meacham and throughout
the county it is said to vary from
three to seven inches.
Reports from the northwest show
the storm is general.

POSSES SEARCH FOR
WOMAN'S MURDERER

Munson, l.. l., Dec. 6.-Robbery and
assault are believed to have been the
motive for the murder today of Mrs.
Julia Wallace, wife of a wealthy far
mer living near here, who was found
murdered on the bank of a bayou.
Posses have been formed this eve
ming to pursue the murderer. whose
identity remains undiscovered. 1t is
believed that the woman, while on
her way to visit neighbor, was as
saulted and robbed on the highway
and then struck on the head and
thrown into a pond by her assailant,
being left for dead. She evidently
gained the bank, but died soon after

Nicaraguan situation.

Much interest is felt in the Nicara-
guam situation, but the general dis
position is to permit the executive
branch to deal with it without inter-
ference.
The attitude of Canada toward the
provisions of the tariff law relative
to print paper and wood pulp is CIV
ing some concern.
Early efforts before this to remedy
this situation will be made but there
is no certainty of the outcome.
While the corporation tax was un-
der consideration in the extra session.
Senator Aldrich expressed the opinion
that it might not be of long life, but
he probably will take no steps to alb
rogate it until the full effect of the
tariff as a revenue producer can be
ascertained.
Representative Campbell of Kansas
on Monday will introduce a resolution
asking for an investigation of the su-
gar trust.
The opinion is quite general that
New MeXica and Arizona will attain to
statehood before the close of the ses-
sion. The president has promised that
they shall come in separately. While
many members regard the two terri
tories as unprepared for statehood the
probabilities are these members will

Packers Pay Big Fine for Short
 Revenues

TOPEKA, Kan., June 5.-That the Cudahy Packing company had paid $S2,000 to the government, th;s being the amount due under the indictments secured against the company for al- legged violation of internal revenue laws, was announced by United States Dis trict Attorney H. J. Bone.
 Indictments on 695 counts are now pending against the company. The company was charged with putting a one-fourth cent revenue stamp on oleo- margarine that required a 1Q-cent stamp. The paying of the amount due does not end the case, however, as un- der the law the company is subject to fine of $l to 5000 on each of the 695 counts.
