JURY EXCUSED UNTIL
FIRST MONDAY IN FEBRUARY
Jury Fails to Agree in Hayes Cattle
Stealing Case-All Cases Ready for
Trial Disposed of-IIorseman MUIR
der Trial and Other Minor Cases
Coming Up-Grand Jury in Session

Having disposed of all the cases
ready for trial at this time Judge
Bean has excused the jurors until
the first Monday in February and no
other trials will occur until that time.
The court is still in session, however,
and will receive the reports of the
grand jury as they are made. 1t is
understood that several cases are yet
to be examined by the grand jury,
though no report had been handed
in at 3 o'clock since Tuesday after
noon.
After being out all night the jury
in the trial of Guy Hayes was not able
to agree and was discharged at
o'clock this morning. Hayes will
probably be given a new trial at the
February session.
A few minor cases and probable the
Horseman murder trial will also be
held in February. Horseman was
found guilty of manslaughter for the
killing of Clarence McBroom at Cur
dane. He was sentenced to 10 years
in the penitentiary, but was recently
granted a new trial by the supreme
court.
If indictments are returned by the
grand jury, the persons indicted will
also be tried at that time.

WOULD-BE HUBBY MUST
BE ABLE TO MAKE GOOD

Chicago Jan. 14.-If the Chicago
Dressmakers' Club gets its own way
the obtaining of a marriage license
will no longer be a pleasure, but an
ordeal. The bride-groom-to-be will be
forced to assure the license clerk that
he can pay all household bills, and
most important of all, the dress
makers, before he is given the cov-
eted license.
A resolution presented to the dress
makers, and now under consideration,
reads:
Recommended that our commit
tee draft a bill providing that appli-
cants for marriage licenses be COM
PEELED to make civil examination
and furnish references from previous
employers as to their ability to sup
port themselves. In this compulsion

TOWN IS TOWN,
SAYS THE JUDGE
HERNnSTON is CITY
ACCORDING TO DECISION
Judge Bean Determines That County
Judge Sitting With Commissioners
Can Order Elections to Determine
Whether Town Shall Incorporate
and That the City of Hermiston
Was Not Illegally Organized Oh
That Account.

Hermiston is still a town, the pres
ent officers are duly elected and their
Official acts are legal. Such is the
force of a decision rendered today by
Circuit Judge Bean, who held for the
defendants and against the plaintiffs
in the case of j. F. McNaught and
others against the city of Hermiston.
This was the case in which it was
alleged that the town had not been
regularly incorporated and that the
election board at the first election
made errors invalidating the election
of the officers chosen at that time.
The first point at issue was whether
the county judge and commissioners
sitting together could order the cleo
tion or whether it should have been
done by the county judge sitting alone.
Judge Bean holds that the order made
by the three sitting together was le-
gal. He also held that the action of
the election board was purely minis
terial and that it did not exceed its
privileges.

WEATHER MODERATES AND
TRAIN SERVICE IMPROVES

Between two and three inches of
snow fell here today thereby bring
ing the total fall to date up to be-
tween 16 and II inches. With the
snow comes a decided moderation in
the weather, the lowest temperature
last evening being one degree above
zero.
Today the train service has been
very good the only difficulty being
that the trains have been slightly de-
layed. Train No. 2, from Portland, is
scheduled for 7.3O this evening. The
local trains to and from Portland
have not yet resumed running. Nor
did the local trains run between
Pendleton and Walla Walla today,
though in the latter case the trouble
was due to a slight wreck at Walla
Walla and not to the storm.
Local TO Walla Walla.
That a local train will leave for
Walla Walla at 73O this evening was
announced this afternoon by the To-
cal depot officials.

Little business of importance other
than the auditing of many bills was
transacted by the city council last
night. The meeting was the first of
the year and the first to be held in the
new quarters. Most of the evening
was consumed with the consideration
of bills.
Among other matters considered
was the possibility of bringing the old
liberty bell to Pendleton and the dis
cussion of some alleged dangerous
public halls. The district attorney
was asked to draw up a memorial to
be sent to the city officials of Phila-
delphia, requesting that the historic
old bell be sent to the Rose festival
in Portland and that it be exhibited
in Pendleton.

North Yakima, Jan. 14.-Eleanor
E. Shilling of Seattle, began action
today in the superior court against
John e. Jackson of North Yakima,
for breach of promise. She asks for
$4,000. The allegations are to the
effect that they promised each other
last spring that they would marry
during the summer. Plaintiff says
she met Jackson in Seattle on July 21
for that purpose. The defendant is
then alleged to have flatly refused
TO have the knot tied, giving no rea-
son for his actions.

lection in connection with public
halls. He declared there were some
halls in the city where the doors
opened inward instead of outward and
the fire chief was instructed to see
that the ordinances are enforced.
Councilman ]. T. Hinkle presented
a scheme for warning the citizens OF
freezing water at night so that peo-
pie could turn off their water. He
would have the janitor of the city hall
or nightwatchman sound the alarm
on the firebell whenever the tempera-
ture became low enough to endanger
the safety of the water pipes.

Week. Faithful and devout worship
ers visited the churches to mediate up
on the contamination of the work of
love Of the Divine Redeemer.
The holy Easter day was observed
with loving, grateful hearts in com
memOration of the Resurrection. Flow
ers, fitting emblems of that great mys-
terry, filed the churches with their
fragrance.
At st. Mary's the affairs were decor
ated with lilies, tulips and daffodils,
artistically arranged by the Dominican
Sisters wilh their usual exquisite taste.
As the congregation filed the church
the realization of the solemn meaning
of the day filled their souls in the beau
tiful stiffness. This impression was
deepened as the services proceeded, and
all were ready to listen with faith and
hope filling their hearts to the words of
their pastor as he addressed them upon

THE CONDITION THAT CON.
FRONTS US.

In view Of the miserable pulling and
hauling now going on at Washington
over the Payne tariff bill how forcibly
true appear the words Of some Of the
champions Of commercial freedom who
have passed away. It was William F.
Villas who characterized the Standpat-
ters Of his day as the grand governing
conspiracy Of protection" He also re
ferred 10 government by the beneficial
ries Of high tariff taxation as "a form Of
slavery none the less hateful because
the lash is not exposed" Was it not
most hateful form Of slavery by which
majority rule was throttled in the house
Of representatives last Friday on the
passage Of the Payne tariff bill with
only such amendments as the com
mittee on rules would allow.
If the American people had long ago
given heed to the advocates Of more
enlightened and liberal commercial pol

United States among the nations Of the
earth If the people Of the third Wis
cOnsin congressional district, for in
stance, had made economic truth the
rule and guide Of their political action,
their representative at Washington
would not now be shouting hallelujah
over the prospect Of obtaining special
privilege in the zinc tariff, while APP
parently al unmindfuI Of the fact that
the Payne measure, if enacted into law,
will rob all Of his constituents upon the
right hand and upon the left; yea, even
on their under garments.
1t is a matter Of no small concern as
to whether a prohibitory tariff on low
grade ores may not prove injurious to
the greatest and most.helpful manufac-
turing plant Of southwestern Wisconsin,
"a plant which has always been con

the people Of Mineral Point, and in fact
this whole mining district
The Democrat from the start has en-
tertained a friendly feeling for Mr..
Kopp and believes that upon matters
not affecting federal taxation he will
make an able and worthy congressman.
His greatest drawback however lies in
the fact he can see nothing but evil in
a policy Of tariff for revenue only,-the
only policy Of tariff taxation which is
justified by patriotism and sound polit
