d. c. Kirk and James Ashworth
are in the city from Weston for the
purpose OF persuading the Umatilla
county delegation to visit Weston to-
morrow night and lay the matter Of
the Normal school proposition before
the students and teachers OF the in
sttution.
The students and teachers" said
Mr.. Kirk, want to know what they
are going TO do. There are num-
Der OF students in the school who are
three quarters through the school
and they want to finish their educa-
tion. We have tried to make ar
rangements to let them complete
their course in Whitman college on
the credits that they have already
earned but Whitman refused to let us
do this They would have to go back
another year in order to earn
enough credits.
"As there are 500 normal students
In Oregon this would mean a loss of
500 years work II on the other hand
the student should have to stop now
and go into some other line Of busi-
ness there isn't one in ten who would
take up the matter of teaching again.
We can't educate teachers at the agri-
cultural college nor at the University.
They are not specializing along that
line.
"Now we don't want our teachers Ia
come from outside states. That would
cause the taxpayers TO have a greater
burden than paying for the support
OF the normals II we don't have
plenty of teachers. the price that we
have TO pay for the salaries will in
crease and they will have TO be paid
for by the taxpayers just the same.
But the thing that We are after
is the welfare of the school children.
We can't have our children educated
by poor teachers, and when we have
no place to educate students TO be
teachers we can't expect to have good
ones. We want natives of our own
state for these positions and not have
to go to outside places for them. We
want the whole Umatilla county dele
CATION to go up there tomorrow night
and address the teachers and stu
dents and put the matter before
them so that they can have a clear
understanding Of the situation"

BRAVE GIRLS WITH UMBRELLAS PUT
WOULD-BE BURGLAR TO FLIGHT

Armed with two umbrellas and a
lamp as weapons, two brave young
ladies last Monday night made an at
tack on q would-be burglar, that
would have done credit to a pair of
strong nerved men.
The Misses Dorothy had attended
the local talent play and arrived home
and were making the preliminary ar
rangements to retire. They were
alone in the house, the stephens
family, with whom they had been
staying, having gone away. soon
they heard what sounded like a rap
upon the door.
Whats that?" one of them ex-
claimed.
at sounded like some one knock
ing" the other said.
They listened a minute and decid-
ed that II was the wind which was
blowing. Soon they heard the noise
again. but again persuaded them
selves that it was the wind.
They went into another room and
then heard the "wind'' pushing the
vines aside and trying to raise the
window.
81 am going to see who that is"
Miss Lurie Dorothy exclaimed and
forthwith armed herself with the UNI
brella, while the younger took anoth-
err and held the lamp. They went
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-02-25

to the door and opened it. No one
was in sight.
81 am sure there was some one out
here" said Miss Lurie, and proceed
ed to investigate further. The two
girls then went out on the lawn and
poked behind the trees and bushes.
Soon the elder girl spied dark
form in one corner of the lawn behind
a tree. Just then the lamp went out.
This did not deter the advancing par
ty, but with her umbrella raised she
advanced toward the object. As she
neared the corner of the lawn the
figure, which proved to be the man,
rose out of the darkness and ran for
the gate, with the young lady in pur-
suit, and disappeared in the night.
The young ladies then called to the
neighbors and a policeman was sum-
moned, but it was too late to catch
the offender. The young ladies only
laughed about the affair and one of
them remarked that the incident
would make a good scene for a NOV
ing picture show.
While the excitement was on. James
II. Gwinn, who lives next door to the
stephens home, rushed to the scene.
attired in garments Of the night and
armed with a trusty pistol But the
intruder had fled before he arrived
and Mr.. Gwinn was unable to be Of
especial service.

MAY EXECUTE TIE ms
Court Rules Unbalanced Man J

Trenton, n, Y, Feb. % 8
timing the judgement of the c
Court holding that Frederic Z Z,
Middlesex county murderer, = e
enough to be hanged the Coul bn'-
rors and Appeals gave its 2 cal
sanction to what probably wi tie
last legal hanging in New JeI
About two years ago Lang Killed mis-
young cousin, Katherine Gordon, be-
cause she refused to marry him. After
his conviction had been sustained by
the highest court, it was contended
that he was insape. and the decision
of a Mddlesex county jury to the
contrary was also made the subject
OF appeal.
Thus 1t happens that, although
death I'm the electric chair has been
the prescribed form OF death in capi-
tai cases for more than a year, there
will be one more hanging. The law
provided that hanging should be the
capital punishment for crimes COM
mitted before the death chair act be-
came effective.
The Supreme Court decision sus-
tanned prescribed the test of insanity
to be applied in capital cases. A mur-
derer need not be entirely sane in or
der to be legally sentenced to death,
according to the opinion. The essen
tial test was held to be his ability to
comprehend his impending fate. AL
though the mental condition might be
such as to justify sending a free citi-
zen TO an asylum, the Court held that
this fact would not in itself be suf-
ficlent to prevent an execution.

PENOLETON MAN
DIES IN WRECK
ORSON BEAR KILLED AT
RIPARIA LAST EVENING
Was Fireman on Freight Engine and
Together With Engineer Leaped
From Cab As Engine Strikes Rock
Which Had Rolled Onto Track
Crushed by Topping Engine.

Orson Bear, a former Pendleton
young man, 2S years of age, was kill
ed in a train wreck last night in
Washington, on the o. R. & N. rail-
road between Wallula ,and Riparia.
The young man was crushed to death
beneath the engine in which he was
firing after a jump in an attempt to
save his life. The engineer, John
Roddy of Riparia, escaped with only
a few injuries.
The train was a freight and was
running at the rate of 80 miles an
hour when the men in the cab saw
in the shaft of light ahead of them a
huge rock which had slid from a
bank upon the track, and which had
broken the rails. They made an at
tempt to stop the train, but it was too
late. Both fireman and engineer
jumped for their lives, one from each
side of the engine.
AS they jumped the engine at the
same instant leaped and turned, fall
ing on the side, upon which Baer had
jumped, pinnng the unfortunate man
down and crushing his life out. Four
teen cars were then piled in confu-
sion on top of and around the engine
and were splintered and torn to
pieces. The body of the dead man
was released after a time and was ta-
ken TO ColfaX, where his wife lives.
Married Only Three Days.

days, having been married last Sun
day to Miss Bessie Barnes of Colfax

This law was in force a few years
ago and entailed upon the taxpayer

contrary it will be instrumental in en-
failing additional burden upon the

tlcular attention by the governor,
one Of which was introduced by Sen.
ator Johnson, the other by Repre-.
sentative Bonebrake, both Of which
relate to the salaries Of all the county
officials of Benton county.
The reason given in vetoing senate
bill No. 143, which was returned
early in the session, were the general
ones that the governor would not
sanction any increase in the salaries
of county officers that would take
effect during the incumbents' pres
ent terms of office.
The Bonebrake bill is similar to the
Johnson bill, except that its purpose
is to increase the emolument of the
offices of county judge, county clerk,
sheriff, recorder, treasurer and
school superintendent in Benton
county. 1t also provides for the use
of the referendum and is vetoed on
the same grounds as the Johnson
measure.

OFF FOR WALIA WAIIA,

Last Saturday morning Sheriff Thorp
took the east bound train, having in
charge two prisoners whom he was to
deliver to the prison guards from Wal
la Walla at Spokane. One of the vic
tins was Chas. a. Watson, who was
relieved of his liberty for bre aking the
7th commandment on; sliding scale
of from one to five years. The other
was red skin answering to the euphon-
iOus name of Quisiskin, who caught
from one to fourteen years for too
great affection for the horseflesh of his
neighbors. Quis, old boy, is a pretty
tough nut if he is guilty of all the
crimes laid at his door, and had he
gotten life the sentence would have
been too short to balance of the ac-
count he owes society. Watson was a
tame prisoner, and enjoyed the free
dom of the city under the espionage of
Guard Woodbeck, but the Indian was
too uncertain quantity to take anv
chances, and he basked in duress while
here and missed the opportunity of
enjoying the sights about our pro-
yreSsive CITY.
