Will Not Investigate.

Washington, Jan. 14.-It is expect
ed that Senator Tillman's request that
the senate investigate the charges
made against him by President Roose-
welt in connection with the alleged
oregon land grab will not be needed.
No member of the committee on
privileges and selections is willing to
start the INJURY. The committeeman
are under the impression that Senator
Tillman was square in all his dealings
and even If Roosevelt's charges were
true there was no violation of law

Cnn't Down Governor.

Salem, Jan. 1.-THE anti-Chamber-
lain cause seems hopeless.
Three weeks ago the Fulton men
had the plan all fixed up. by which
Fulton was to resign all claims to the
senatorship in favor of John Barrett
would cement all factions.
Fulton stepped out, as has been
published. The proposition was put
to several statement No. l men, and
they stood pat on their pledges, Thus
the last big coup OF the anti-Cham-
berlain forces failed.
The argument was brought to bear
that what they really were pledged
to do by statement No. / was to sup
port an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States and not to
direct election by the people of the
state.
Benson Brought In.
Another line of approach was TO
persuade members that it was their
duty not to vote for Chamberlain un-
less he will agree in advance to ap-
point republican successor to Secre-
tary of State Benson, who is publish
ed as being in a dying condition from
cancer.
The republican organization at
Portland, headed by the Oregonian
and Senator Fulton, seems to have
worked out this plan of Withholding
support from the peoples choice. Gov
ernor Chamberlain refused to make
any pledges.
One Weak Knecd Member.
one member, Applegate, of Doug
las county, who subscribed to the
statement to insure his election, now
says he meant by it only to indorse
the principle of amending the fed.
eral constitution. He was not count
ed as one of the So who signed the
sworn statement to support the peo-
pies choice but his alleged accession
is claimed as a great victory for the
anti-statement members.
Miller Would Stand Pas.
Senator Miller, one of the steering |
committee, throws cold water on the |
plan He says that he did not know !
he was on the committee. He says !
further that he will not participate
in any crooked work. He will not ad- /
wise members to violate their pledges.
He further says he would stand by
his pledge If he had taken It, and
cannot, therefore, honorably ask any
one to violate a promise made.
No Organized Effort.
McCune, another member OF the
committee, says he knows of no or
ganized effort. He Is pledged to vote
for Fulton, no matter how many
votes are taken and intends to abide
by that pledge He believes that re-
publican voters choice members will
observe their pledge and vote for H.
M. Cake.
Altogether It now appears that the
opposition to Chamberlain will melt
away to nothing.
"There is no money" says J. H.
Brown "There Is not $1,000 in the
whole crowd Anyway, what's the
use of spending $50 for a senator
when you could buy a representative
FOR $4,000. There's nothing to It,"

Trouble MAY Resuk.

Then it is held that If legislators en-
deavor to force the governor to resign
they will be violating the corrupt
practices act and thereby become IL
able to prosecution.
Furthermore there has been much
talk of attempts at the bribery Of
legislators and it is easily possible
that something sensational may be
brought to light along this line before
the struggle is over.
Thus far, according to Senator
Smith, the senatorship has been the
absorbing subject and comparatively
little attention has been devoted to
other business. Should a real fight
be precipitated over the senatorship
and the election of Governor Cham
berlain blocked, it is possible the en-
tire session may be thrown into tur-

Umatilla Issues,

Aside from the introduction of Sem
ator Smiths bill providing for the
creation of artesian we'll districts,
none of the Umatilla county measures
have yet been presented. However.
the members of the delegation are
hopeful of good success with the ex-
pertinent station bill, the branch asy-
lum bill, normal school appropriation
and other matters of interest locally.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-01-14

That there is grave danger of a
fight over the senatorship and that II
one arises the work of the present
legislative session may be badly shat
tered is intimated by Senator C. j.
Smith who with his colleague, Sena-
tor Cole, arrived from Salem this
morning. Both gentlemen will return
to Portland tomorrow so as to make
sure of being present when the first
vote is taken next Tuesday.
Before coming home for day Sem
ator Smith took the precaution to
pair his vote upon the senatorship
with Senator Hart, of Baker, so he
would be safe in the event the train
service should become completely
blocked.
Representative Barrett also de-
sired to return home but feared to do
so because of the storm and the un-
certainty of travel.
-Debauchers at Work.
That an organized move to defeat
the election of Governor Chamber
lain is under foot and that seemingly
every possible means will be used to
that end, was declared by Senator
Smith. While the senator being a
statement man, is hopeful that the at
tempts upon the integrity of his coll
league will be futile he openly ex-
presses some fears upon the subject.
At the present time the opposition
seems to be working to compel the
governor to resign his present office.
Interest in this matter is heightened
by the poor health of Secretary Of
State Benson who is suffering from
cancer.
But from appearances Governor
will not consent to re-
sign the governorship in order to in
sure his election as senator. He con-
siders that statement members
pledged themselves to vote for the
popular choice for senator and insists
they should do so without bargain
ing.

GOES OVER FALLS
NIAGRA RAPIDS SWALLOW UP
ONE MORE VICTIM.
Young Mans Brave Efforts Prove
Useless, Giant Waves Finally Over
coming, Driving Him Under.


Niagara rapids claims one one
more victim. A dispatch from there
says August Sparer, an eighteen
year-old boy, a resident of Niagara
Falls, went to his death Monday in
the whirlpool rapids after a gallant
battle with the giant waves between
the lower bridges and the pool.
With three companions Sporer went
for a swim in the river. He struck
about at once for the middle OF the
stream and then turned toward the
bridges. His companions called to
him to turn back, for the current Is
very swift at that point, but he kept
on down stream and was caught
in the great sweep, the first break.
from the smoother waters to the
rapids.
The boy struggled for a time
against the current but to no avail.
Then, realizing that he was beyond
human help and was to be carried
through the rapid which took the
life of Capt. Webb. and which have
resisted every unaided human effort
at passage, he deliberately turned
down stream and began grim fight
for life.
Not in all the history of the river
has such brave effort been witness
ed. Although but frail boy, he
went into the rapids swimming
strongly and held his own until he
struck the giant wave which curls
up opposite the Old Battery elevator.
Then he went under and for a Sec
ond was lost to sight Of the score or
people who stood on the lower arch
bridge.
Again and again he disappeared
only to reappear, each time fighting
desperately against the terrible cur
rent. Then when within 500 yards
of the whirlpool his strength gave
out and he sank and was lost to
view.
Even then he had swum perhaps
100 yards farther than did the great
English swimmer, Capt. Webb. !"

LUNATIO KILLS HIMSELF.
Was an Inmate Of the Hospital for
the Insane.


A Columbia dispatch to The News
and Courier says Emanuel BolaDd,
a middle-aged white man from Aiken
county, an inmate Of the State Hos
pital for the Insane, who tried to
kill himself several months ago while
on railway train in the custody
of a guard, on his way to the insti-
tuition, committed suicide late Mon
day by falling thirty feet from the
lattice work on a porch to one of
the Asylum buildings. He lived only
a few moments after striking the
ground. The unfortunate man was
suffering from suicidal melancholia
and had been carefully watched since
he entered the Institution.
1t is stated that he was in the
yard of the Asylum Monday after
noon with several other patients and
two nurses. While the attention Of
the nurses was distracted for mo-
ment he climbed the lattice Of a
veranda to the third story and either
let go his hold or jumped backward.
1t is said that the nurse lied to per-
suade him to come down when he
was about half way up. The accl-
dent although deplorable was una
voidable. No blame can be placed
on any one.
Last spring when Boland was being
carried to the Asylum on the train,
he borrowed knife from some one
and, while manacled, plunged 1t into
his throat, inflicting an ugly wound.
When he arrived in Columbia he was
in a desperate condition. He recoV-
cred from this self-inflicted injury,
only to end his life Monday.
