courtmartial of Lieutenant Fremont. who
is under trial for military violations.
The regiment is now 500 strong. And 1t
is now preparing for long and comfort
able stay at home. Its day of foreign
service is at an end for the time being.
For at least two years it will remain I'M
disturbed at Fort Mcpherson, perhaps for
four years.
During it's stay in Cuba, the regiment
was quartered at Camaguey, in the Cam
aguey province, formerly known as the
Puerto Principe province. This province
is In the very center of the island. When
the troops arrived there were no quar-
tiers of any sort ready for their recep-
ton, but the men Immediately knocked
up temporary quarters, which they later
made more substantial, and the officers
stayed at a hotel at Camaguey.
It is the opinion of the officers that
what the American residents now in Cuba
have to fear is not political outbreaks,
but a return OF yellow fever, which was
practically wiped out by the sanitary
measures instituted by the American
troops. With the troops away, the natives
will drop back into their old slothful hab-
it's, they fear, with the result of return
to unsanitary conditions.

GAINESVILLE, Ga, Jan. B-In his
charge to the grand jury today Judge
Kimsey created considerable sensation
in aIluding to county administration mat
tiers. He said If half the rumors were
true. he had heard from good authority,
these matters should be investigated. He
stAed that it is said no money Is in the
treasury to pay expenses of this court,
that money cannot be diverted from
the purposes which it was levied, that
he has heard that the purchase Of road
machinery had been made at exorbltant
prices, that there was a suspicion Of
graft and malpractice. He hoped these
rumors are not true, but In any event
should be Investigated fearlessly and
thoroughly in justice to the county and
to the officials.
''If these reports are not true" said
he, then the officials have been slam
dered all over the country"
Hon. j. n. Twitty is foreman of the
grand jury and a special committee has
been at work on the books for several

OUADRUPLETS TAKEN
FROM GRIEVING MOTHER

CHICAGO, Jan 1s-Mrs. Charles Orms-
bv mother of the famous bankruptcies,
has been deprived by the Juvenile court
of her four children who will be sent to
charitable institutions. The family was
found living in squalor in tumble down
shanty in Harver.
From the descriptions given in court 1t
was apparent that while the Ormsby
home was picturesque, it was not quite
the proper place in which to bring up a
family. According to one officer 1t had all
the outward semblance of a junk heap.
Bags, bottles and old shoes Uttered the
floor and in a corner was a very dirty
bed in which the seven Ormsby offspring
slept.
The mothers grief at being deprived of
her brood was affecting. The father is
at present living in Seattle.

OREGON REPUBLICANS y
TO ELECT DEMOCRAT

SALEM Ore, Jan. 19-Gov. George
E. Chamberlain, Democrat, will proba-
bly, be elected United States senator
today by a Republican legislature. AL
though Chamberlain 10 the peoples
choice for United States senator and
there are enough members OF the leg
islature pledged to elect him, a deter
mined effort has been made for months
past to defeat him.
Senator Charles w. Fulton, whom
Chamberlain will succeed If he is elect
ed, has, it is alleged, repeatedly urged
the legislature to elect a Republican
instead of Democrat, despite the fact
tAat a majority of the members are
pledged to the people to vote for Cham
berlain.
Eastern political influences are alleged
to have interfered in the Oregon sena-
torial situation and even the assist
ance Of President-elect Taft and Frank
II. Hitchcock. chairman or the Repub-
lican national committee, has it is said,
been solicited. Various members of the
United States senate have been called on
Tut have declined to ask Oregon legis-
lators to violate the pledge.
A peoples lobby is assembling at Sa-
lem from every section Of the state and
the component parts Of this lobby are
determined apparently to see that the
pledged members abide by their obliga-
lions to vote for Chamberlain.
The breaking of these pledges may
lead to an unpleasant situation for ex-
IRENE measures advocated by the ardent
champions of political reform in Ore
gon.
Failure to elect Mr.. Chamberlain will
result in the recall being invoked on
those Statement No. members who vi
olate their pledge to the people.
The election of Chamberlain may solve
the problem of electing senators by
popular vote without infringing upon
the provisions of the legislation of the
United States.
While Senator John E. Bourne and
former Senator Frederick Mulkey were
elected by a Republican Legislature and
under the same system which is being
used in Chamberlain's case, the real
test comes now, for the reason that
Bourne and Mulkey are Republican and
Chamberlain is a Democrat. If the Re
publicans keep their pledge and elect q
Democrat, the system win have been
tried thoroughly.
