HIGH SCHOOL FRATERNITIES
UNDER BAN IN CHICAGO

Chicago-Hopes of members of high
school fraternities and sororities which
have been on a rising scale since the
election of Alfred Il. Urion as presi-
dent of the Board of Education, from
whom they expected more lenien,
treatment were blasted by Mr. Urion.
He declared himself unqualifiedly
against the high school Greek letter
society.
The reasons for the expectations Of
the young school pupils was that the
son and daughter of President Urion
were high school fraternity members.
Mr. Urion's eldest son, attending
Dartsmouth college, was a member of
Kappa Sigma Psi fraternity at the
University high school. while his dau-
ghter is an active member of the Iota
Bet Phi Sorority at Mrs. Lorin's prl-
vate school for girls.
The newly elected superintendent.
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, declared that
she is opposed to the high school fra
ternity and the matter was called To
the attention of President Urion, ana
he warmly backed up the ideas of the
superintendent.
Mr. Urion said his children became
members of their societies without hi,
knowledge.

.PENDLETON PEOPLE COMPLETE A
THOUSAND MILE AUTOMOBILE TRIP

Returning from a strenuous auto
mobile trip of more than 1000 miles
and covering a period of several days,
Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Penland and
daughter and Mrs. Penlands parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. S. Hay of Spokane,
arrived in Pendleton about 1880 Sun
day afternoon. While the trip Is one
that no member of the party would
care to have missed taking, it is also
one that no member of the party will
be anxious to repeat. To be stuck
in the sand, many miles from the
nearest water and the thermometer
had been any shade, was but one
of a number of incidents of the trip.
Starting from Spokane and equip
ped with complete camping outfit,
the party made a straight trip of $50
miles through the sand to White Bluff.
From there they went to North Yak
ina and It was when IL miles out of
White Bluffs that they broke down.
When their water supply had de-
creased to one quart, the most of this
was given to Mr.. Penland, who under
took to walk back to town for more
water, the trouble having been caus-
ed by the swelling of hot shaft. The
remainder of the water was divided
among the members of the party re-
naming, teaspoonful being indulg-
ed in by each one at periods of half

SALOON At PILOT
ROCK IS CAME
REFUSES TO CLOSE THOUGH
ORDERED TO BY COUNCIL
Ten Days Limit for Closing Its Doors
Expired Observation-Disclosures Open
and ProprietOrs Are Arrested
Case Will Come to Trial This AZ
ternOOn.
Especial Correspondenee.l !

Pilot Rock, Ore, Aug. 3.-It seems
that this towns one near beer saloon
is not to give up the ghost without a
struggle and the struggle is now on
this afternoon. What the outcome
will be remains to be seen.
Yesterday was the expiration of the
limit of time set by the city council for
the proprietors of the joint, Bradburn
Brothers, to close up their business
and move out, the council having ten
days previously refused to grant them
license.
Having no desire to give up a lu-
crative business and acting on the ad-
vice of their attorney. Dan p. Smythe,
of Pendleton, they did not close up
and move out yesterday, but continu-
ed to do business in the same way at
the same old stand. This morning
when they opened up for busisess they
were arrested by the town marshal.
Their case was set for trial at 2:SO
this afternoon and Attorney Smythe
came out in an automobile to repre-
sent his clients.
Though the case has not yet been
tried it is understood that the conten-
ton of the near beer men and their
attorney will be that the council has
no authority to refuse to grant them
a license without cause, when they
had complied with every requirement
of the law.

CONTROLS BALLOON
BY WIRELESS CURRENT

New York.-A new and wonderful
combination Of electric and aeronau-
tic science has been discovered by
Mark G. Anthony, an electrical engi-
neer, who recently operated a small
dirigible balloon over Sandy Hook,
controlling its movements by wire
less instruments on shore. The bal
loon went more than a mile out to
set, being directed solely and perfect
ly by wireless electric power. Mr..
Anthony has interested several for
eign governments in his discovery
and soon will go abroad to demon
strate it. He declares he can operate
a full size balloon quite as equally as
the small model with which the
Sandy Hook test was made He be-
lieves the device will be useful in
carrying small lines to wrecked YES
sells by which larger lines may be
hauled aboard. This work is now done
with guns and their range is so linn
tied that life savers frequently are
unable to get line aboard a vessel
which lies far out in the surf.

DIR. AMES DECLARES THAT
THAW Is INSANE

White Plains. n. Y, Aug. 3.-The
Harry X. Thaw sanity inquiry was
opened by Justice Mills today. The
Judge questioned DR.. Ames Baker
regarding Thaws action when he was
confined in Matteawan asylum. After
being questioned DR., Baker declared
Thaw was insane without a doubt and
that his liberty void be a menace
to the community. Afterward on cross
examination Baker admitted that
Thaw had not shown symptoms of
paranoia during the last three months
in the asylum. Thaw was recalled
and questioned by Jerome. During the
examination Justice Mills said he was
convinced that the present hearing
was more damaging for the prisoner
than any expert examination could
have been.

The heat was unbearable.
From North Yakima they started

Aberdeen, Hoquiam and going on

some time on the seashore they re-

They all report splendid time IN
many ways. The fishing and hunting
was fine and the outing greatly en-
joyed, but the trip as a whole was
decidedly strenuous.

Cerbera, France, Aug. 3.-The
troops sent from Barcelona to dis
lodge the rebels entrenched in the
mountains were repulsed with heavy
losses, according TO messages receivd
hire today. The situation in Catalonia
Is most serious.
Followers of the late Don Carlos,
pretender to the throne of Spain, are
working in advance to cause his son,
Don Jamie, to be ehthroned. 1t is
thought there is little chance of his
gaining the crown. If Alfonso loses
the throne there is probability a re-
public will be formed. That the army
is being disrupted by the revolution
lists by the reverses in Morocco Is
shown conclusively today.
The Carlsts have renewed their
activities since learning the many re-
verses of the loyal troops. They are
especially active among the basques
In northern provinces. Don Jaime
is a clever military leader and he
may possibly take the field.

OSTRICH FARM TO
UTILIZE BARREN LANDS

Tacoma.-While some real estate
men once upon a time tried to boom
the sandy and gravel-be-sprinkled
prairies to the south of this city as
good ground for irrigation, it has re-
mained for c, w, Drewsey to start
perhaps the most unique boom in this
regions history. Drewseys idea is
nothing less than to convert the
prairies into one vast ostrich farm,
and raise the largest ostrich herd in
the world. He is now industriously
looking for hackers, and says there
is mine of gold in the scheme.
He thinks the birds would thrive
in the climate, and believes the wide
expanse of prairie would give them
ample room for exercise, and so in
sure their health and fine feathers.

Startling and sensational in the ex-
treme are the findings of fact in the
Warner-Young contest case, signed
by Judge Gilliland. After holding
that the famous mysterious fourth"
will was not the last will and testa-
ment of ]. w. Young, the court finds
that the pretended will was made,
forged and executed at some time
after the death of James w. Young,
by and through the connivance and
procurement of Mabel Warner.
"And that S. V. Knox, one of the
pretended subscribing witnesses to
the said will and one Della Stacey,
who pretended that she saw Young
and Lois Ragel, sign the said docu-
ment, have each and all conspired to-
gether with the said Mabel Warner,
to cheat and defraud the contestants
out of the property of the said ]. w.
Young. deceased, by means of said
false, fraudulent and forged will and
by means of false and perjured testi-
mOnN.
1t is also declared in the findings
of fact that Mrs. Warner introduced
in evidence a forged letter, purport-
ing to have been written to Clara
Young by j. w Young and also a
forged memorandum of contract.
1t is further charged that while the
first will to the estate of James w.
Young was in the possession of Ma
bel Warner, her attorneys and her
experts. the exhibit had been ALTERED,
changed and tampered with"
The judge also signed the decree
this afternoon. This simply declares
that the will is forged and that it was
never executed by Young and is
therefore not entitled to probate.
