SENATE IS TO siEAR
AkTI-GAMBLERS NOW

No exception to the general rule is
the switch Of sentiment in the fight
on the gambling bill since that
measure passed the assembly.
The methods used in that fight left
lot of sore places here and there
and assemblymen are den0uncing the
methods used against members OF
the house in connection with the pas
sage of the Dill.
An entirely different course is be-
ing adopted with the senate which
now has to pass upon the measure.
None of these is being threatened.
None of them is being nribcd or taun-
ted with the statement hat he is
considering bribcs.
This Is what came very near un-
doing the bill in the house and had
it not been that the senate was yet
to pass upon the pill ii would have
been killed in the house by those
methods.
Tonight it comes up at seven o.
clock for consideration in the senate
of the whole that prOp0n-
entsma Y present arguments in tav-
or cf The passage Of the bill.

story surrounding the disappearance
of F. ID. Odbert Tualatin, a farmer
who has just returned from Sacra-

remarkable chain of circumstances
which prevented his communicating
with his family until now. He came
to Portland in January and sold a
team of horses for $3.50. He went to
a restaurant where two strangers
were seated at the same table. He
engaged in conversation. One of the
strangers ordered wine. Odbert took
a drink and walked to the door, and
that is the last he remembered until
the first of April when he regained
consciousness in a Sacramento hos
pital where for the first time he knew
that he was drugged and beaten and
gagged and thrown into a freight car
bound for Sacramento.

LANGFORD PROVES
THE BEST FIGHTER

London, May 25.--The ging general
ship he had picked up in many bat
ties enabled Langford to score COM
paratively easy victory over Hague
and the fourth round had been barely
commenced when the burly Yorkshire
man was floored by well directed
blow and counted out.
Langford was at a disadvantage as
to weight, height and reach, but his
superior gnowledge OF ring tactics and
his quickness overcome this and what
was expected to be a long contest but
proved very brief.
Langford opened the third round
with hard left to the face and he
used this blow effectively several
times before the gong sounded. Hague
however, partly closed the Americans
eye with a hard right swing.
The men came together in a fast
mix up at the opening of the fourth
and Langford put a terrific right on
the Yorkshire mans chin, which end
ed the contest.

With a clear sky and "a bright sun
smiling down from the heavens, the
annual field meet for the high schools
of eastern Oregon is being held on the
TutuiIla track this afternoon. The
opening OF the meet is under the most
auspicious circumstances and II Is be-
lieyed thai some eastern oregon rec
ords will be smashed before the meet
Is concluded.
Owing 10 the great distance OF the
track from the city the number Of
spectators present is not large, but
those that are there make up in en-
thusiasm what they lack in numbers.
The few supporters who are present
from the different schools are all
cheering their favorites with a frenzy
born OF the hope OF success and from
the results of the first few events It is
evident than the meet Will not be de-
.cided until the half-mile relay, the
last event OF the day, is run off.
Island City, with her one represen-
'tative has no hopes OF victory and
neither does Pendleton with her Grip
piled team. II is expected however that
with Gordon and Kimball taking the
points they have that Pendleton will
not be the lowest, when the points
are finally totalled mp. Had Boylen
been well enough TO enter the mile
and the half mile and been abe to
run these In his customary time, he
would easily have taken both these
events and the locals could have made
,aven a stronger showing.
From present indications the race
is evidently between Baker City and
La Grande, with the chances about
evenly divided Some fortune or mis-
victory either to Cove or Ontario, but |

Preliminary heats were run this +

Washington, May 25.-Lauding
President Taft as the broadest and
most conservative exponent of the re-
publican party, senator Beveridge in
the senate today advocated revision
o. the tariff downward along protec-
five lines
He said President Taft originated a
sentiment favoring the revision two
years ago.
Senator Schively, also of Indiana,
attacked the Aldrich bill, saying that
1t would make the general tariff of
the UniDed States higher in every
schedule than it is now. He argued
that President Taft was given a task
impossible of realization in the duty
imposed upon him by the maximum
and minimum provisions.
The senate finance committee re-
ported that it had postponed further
consideration of the lumber schedule
until after the sugar rates had been
settled. The committee will recon-
mend rate of a dollar and a half a
thousand feet on sawed lumber.
