agency where he will have no school
problems to handle.
Representative Ellis today conferred
with Mr.. Ballinger in regard to the
case and presented a telegram from
Umatilla business men asking that
the case be held up pending reinvesti-
cation. Mr.. Ballinger took the po-
stion that no reinvestigation Is neces-
sary, nor will it be necessary for Pen
dleton business men to come to Wash
ington in Major McFatridge's behalf
The action of Commissioner Valen-
tine is not in any way based upon old
charges brought against McFatridge.
for that matter has been cleared up,
but is due entirely to the agents di-
rect disobedience or orders given him
after the old trouble was adjusted
1t Is purely matter of administra-
ton and discipline, into which other
considerations do not enter, and it is
considered necessary, in the interest of
the service to take Major McFatridge
from Umatila.
Two telegrams were received by the
Indian office today from Umatilla In
dams, one faction urging the retention
Of Major McFatridge. the other COM
mending Mr.. Valentine for his attl-
tude. Neither telegram stated the
grounds upon which the recommen-
datlon was made.

YOUNG TURKS MAY
FORCE PRESENT SULTAN OUT

Constantinople, May 20.-If legisla-
ton favored by the Young Turks
meets the approval of the parliament,
the time honored Turkish law Of sue
cession to the throne may be annull-
ed.
According to the present law, on
the death of the monarch the crown
goes to the senior descendant of the
founder of the dynasty. This pro-
cedure invariably results in the rails
ing to power of an elderly or failing
man. The Young Turks want young,
energetic and virile rulers. They want
adopted the general European law of
succession that provides for the coro-
nation of the senior son of the for
mer monarch.
If this legislation is enacted before
the death of the present sultan, there
is every probability that Mehemmed
V. will be asked to seal the amend
ment with his approval, and abdicate
in favor of a prince of greater physi-
cal vigor and more in touch with the
ideas of the modern world.

Recent messages received from
Washington have caused Pendleton
people generally to give up hope for
the reinstatement of Major A. f. Nc
Partridge as agent on the Umatilla res
ervation A telegram from Congress-
man Ellis said nothing could be done
with Acting Commissioner Valentine
and that the case must be taken up
with Secretary Ballinger. Following
this the Portland Oregonian pub
lished a message from Washington
saying Ballinger will not interfere.
Another discouraging feature of the
case so far as those who are making
the fight for McFatridge is concerned.
is the fact that a wire from McFat-
ridge. requesting an interview with
Leup has gone unanswered. Tho gem
eral impression therefore seems to
prevail that the struggle is a useless
one and should be abandoned,
The following is the Oregonian's
dispatch from Washington:
oregon News Bureau. Washington,
May 1S.-Though Secretary Ballinger
has not yet reviewed the record in the
case of Major McFatridge, Indian
agent at Umatilla, Ore. it is reason
ably certain that the Major will not
be reinstated at his old position, but
will be transferred to some other

BIG FIRE LOSS
NEAR FREEWATER
Especial Correspondence.)


Freewater, Ore. May 20.--A fire OF
mysterious origin, but believed TO
have been set by tramps, caused a
loss of more than $4,000 on the j. ].
Williams farm, near Babcock cross
ing, three miles below Freewater, at
2:S0 this morning Among other
things destroyed was Franklin
runabout, owned by Mr.. Williams.
The buildings destroyed consisted of
two outbuildings and some sheds.
The fire was discovered in the out
buildings about 2:SO and at that
that time had gained such headway
that the inadequate appliances at
hand for the fighting of fire were to-
tally inadequate TO cope with the
flames. 1t is considered fortunate
that the dwelling did not burn; the
distance between this and the out
buildings is probably all that saved
it.
1t is not known for a certainty what
caused the fire, but Mr.. Williams is
Of the opinion that it resulted from
tramps hunting a bed in the barn.
In addition to this automobile he
lost a top rig, carriage, open rig, wa
gon and two other rigs, which were
standing outside the buildings burn

San Francisco, May 20.-John A..
Helms, formerly the detective for the
United Railroads. whose introduction
in the Calhoun trial yesterday after
noon came llge a thunderbolt took
the stand again this morning.
He told the story of conspiracies,
and bribery plotting, and counter
plotting in which he engaged, at the
direction of Calhoun, he said, later
for the prosecution. His appearance
on the stand has totally disorganized
the forces OF the Calhoun attorneys.
He said he left the United railroad
and was employed by detective Burns
for the prosecution. He returned to
the United railroads to work for them
under the direction of the prosecution.
A large detail of police officers in
plain clothes and detectives were
scattered throuh the court room and
surrounded the prosecutors and their
witnesses. Hired detectives are all
guarding Calhoun.
Rudolph Spreckles, who in court,
told the United Press that he had all
the accounts ofomoney paid in support
of the graft prosecution from its in
ception. and would give them to the
jury. Helms told. under instructions
Of attorneys for the United railroads
that he had Burns covered" day and
night. and did this work in an auto
mobile receiving ten dollars a day and
expenses.

O'Brien Is Saved from the Greater

Foot Work-Majority Think That
Draw Decision Is Fair - O'Brien

Jeffries Announces That He VIII
Fight johnson.

Philadelphia, May 2O.-Johnson
last night failed to knock Jack O'Brien
out in the six round contest. His
marvellous footwork saved him from
the negro's rushes. O'Brien's clev-
erness offset Jonnson's great weight.
1t was declared a draw by the ma
jority and there was no decision.
1t was fast fight, O'Brien doing
the greater part of the leading. John
son was slow on his feet and appeared
not to be in the best of condition. Re-
peatedly the champion rushed his
smaller antagonist, but seldom land
ed effectively. A right hand counter
in the fifth round cut O'Brien's right
eye and this was the sum total of the
damage done in the six rounds.
O'Brien was in and out like a flash
in nearly every round, stabbing john
son on the face, but the blows lacked
force and had no effect other than
to make the big black man grin and
wave his hand at the crowd. The
spectators shouted wildly every time
o'Brien and hooted Johnson for his
apparent rough work in the clinch-
es.
Referee McGuigan said after the
fight that O'Brien did remarkably
web under the circumstances. He
weighed 1921 pounds, while John
sons actual weight was at least 2O5

Gotch was at the local depot for
several minutes while waiting for a
train and was soon the center OF at
traction for about a hundred pairs Of
eyes. He seemed all unmindful OF the
attention he was attracting and talked
interestingly of the proposed coming
match between himself and Hacken-
schmidt This is supposed TO be pull
ed off by Australian promoters in
Melbourne in January, but according
to Gotoh the match may never ma
terialize. With one of the PRINCIPALS
in Europe, the other In America and
the promoters in Australia, the work
of arranging the contest Is apt TO be
a long drawn out affair.
Gotch came in from Spokane where
he had given an exhibition the night
before and left on the Chicago Flyer
for salt Lake City.

BEEF SHORTAGE
IN THE NORTHWEST

San Francisco, May 20.--A shortage
of beef in the Pacific northwest has
resulted in large shipments of dressed
beef and livestock from California
to oregon and Washington during the
past IA days. Montana and Wyom-
ing are unable to meet the demand of
the coast states.
All parts of California have been
drawn upon by northern buyers,
While a large portion of the beef left
the San Joaquin valley. San Louis o.
Bispo is also making good shipments.
Newhall's Guadalupe ranch at San
Louis O'Bispo have sent rs cars OF
livestock to oregon and Washington
since saturday. Chicago markets are
beginning to feel the effects of the
heavy northern demand.

thousand people greeted President

morning to participate in the cele-

President Taft referred in his ad-

widow of the Confederate general, oc-
cupied a box from which the presi-
dent reviewed the parade.

wants TO see Jeffries fight. not to hear

people are beginning to get disguised
with him because he will not say he

More than a million pounds of wool
have been sold in the vicinity Of Pen
dleton within the past few days and
there will be no public sales day here
as a result. The ]. E. Smith COM
pany's Pilot Rock clip of 10000
pounds topped the market, being
bought for PIX cents per pound by
Ellery, for a Boston firm.
The Smith clip sold was from the
company flocks of pure blood Delane
Merinos and the wool was in excep-
tionally good condition. The fleece
was unbroken, the staple good and
it was all free from dirt.
In addition to the 10000 pounds
sold. the Smith company has about
$4,000 pounds in the Barnhart clip.
Dissatisfied with the prices offered
for this wool it has been consigned to
a Boston firm.
Among the other Umatilla county
growers who have sold recently are
the Cunningham Sheep & Land COM
pany, X. G. Warner, William Slusher,
A. A. Cole, Rust Brothers, Charles

day will be held here, at Pilot Rock.
or Echo. In fact the only sales day
to be observed in the state this year
is the one to be held at Shaniko to-
morrow. This condition of affairs is
due entirely to the activity of the
woolbuyers who swarmed into the
field in advance of the opening Of the
sales day season and by offering prices
far in advance of those prevailing
last year, induced the growers not to
