FINGERS FASHIONABLE.

New York society has adopted the motto. Fingers were made before forks" and is living up to it. The members of the four hundred give finger and thumb dinners. at which knives. forks and spoons are not supplied. Guests are compelled to cat in a primitive fashion. A sam pie menu is "cavaire on toast clans :; eaten from the shells: soup in cups an eniree of mushrooms or sweet breads on toast, eaten like a sand wich: small lamb chops with the bones trimmed to serve as handles with dry clipped Saratoga potatoes asparagus salad; strawberries witt stems attached; small pies or lay CT cake and coffee.
 From this it will be seen that eat ing without forks or knives Is mol a dreadful ordeal after all, especial ly when the bill of fare is arranged with especial reference to the mode of conveying the victuals to the ia cial orifice But is it not apparent New York society is in desperate straits for novelties?
 We believe there was a well found ed rumor current in Park row a few years ago to the effect there was 2 standing reward offered by a vel known hostess to any one who could devise a brand new way of entertain ing her blase geusts. iPty the pool rich. They soon begin to suffer iron brain rust.

TAFT IS RIVAL
 OF ROOSEVELT.

That President Taft Is ia the game as rival of his predecessor in the White House for popularity need not be doubted His appearance on a baseball diamond last Saturday at Pittsburg as pitcher will put him a long ways in the race for popularity His enthusiasm as patron of the national sport promises to put him in a class by himself among all those who have succeeded in reaching the presidential chair. When he visited the south and attended a banquet where the feature of the menu card was baked 'possum he had his pred ecessor on the run with every man south of the Mason and Dixon line and G7w that he appears as pitch CT in a baseball game he has caught the popular wave and his name is ringing from every grandstand in the country as "one of the boys" no matter if the president did fail to get the ball as far as the pitcher he showed his love for the national sport and that is all that is required just now when everybody is watching the ball twirlers and not caring a snap what becomes of the wild beasts of darkest Africa
 President Taft is proving himself to be a real sport He is an expert at golf. likes 'possum better than he does bear meat. and before the end of the season may = called to re- neve some of the professionals now engaged In trying for victory in the league bah games, Against such points as these in the race for pop ular favor Roosevelt Is outdistanced by the stretch between Washington and the game preserves of Africa's dusky ruler

POLICE THINK TRAIN
 ROBBERS OPERATED

Shelton, Fourth Suspect Ar rested Made Several Trips
 to Meet Leader

DENVER, June 3-After invesri- gating the movements Of Jack Shel- ton. under arrest here as the fourth man of the gang of train robbers that held up Union Pacific train near Omaha, the police and postoffice in srectors now advance the theory that the operations of the gang, which are believed to include the Great Northern train robbery near Spo- kane, the Denver & Rio Grande rob befy near Denver and several other crimes were directed from Spokane.
 The police state that they have discovered that Shelton made sey- eral trips to Petersburg. Colo. to meet a man from Spokane who was to have provided money for the de fense of Torgensen. Golden and Dow ner. arrested in Omaha. This money. say the police. was to have been given to Lillian Stephenson. who was arrested with Shelton. and taken by her to Omaha
 The police believe that the pro ceeds of all the robberies were sen- to the head of the gang at Spokane.

AN INCOME TAX.

President Taft is on record as fav- oring an income tax to supplement the tariff as 2 means of raising funds For the government expenditures So fsr as can be ascertained, the senate is about evenly divided on the prop oeition. and Senator Aldrich is not sure enough of being able to defeat It to allow it to come to vote if he can help 1t.
 Fourteen years ago the United States supreme court declared that . law passed at that time creating an income tax was unconstitutionai. Although the personnel of the court has changed materially since that time, it is a question whether the court would reverse itself on this point. It has been suggested that the matter be referred to the judi ciary committee of the senate for the preparation of bill to be introduced at the next session of congress which might be expected to circumvent the obfec. ions of the supreme court and thus be constitutional
 England has had a great deal of experience with an income Tax which is now a part of it's regular system of taxation. Created al first to meet an emergency. it was suspended from lime to time up 10 1853. since which time ii has been an important factor in providing the revenue for the gov crnment, although the rate has been varied from time to time as the ae- cessify for revenue increased or di- minished.

A strike of lumbermen at McCloud
 California, is growing serious and il
 has been deemed necessary to send state troops to the camp to preserve
 the peace and protect property inter ests. According to the dispatches this morning the strikers have seized the electric light plant, cut the con meeting wires and plunged the town into darkness. It is to be regretted that the striking lumbermen have re sorted to violence in their efforts to better their conditions. Such a course can only injure the cause oi the strikers. Strikers must under stand that the law must be obeyed and that whenever they attempt its violation by interfering with the prop erty of others they will no longer
 hold public sympathy. Every work ingman has the undispJted right to leave his employment whenever he is dissatisfied with wages or conditions
 surrounding him, but when he at tempts to interfere with the rights Of others or the property of his former
 employer he turns his back on the
 government which ever good citizen should uphold and thus loses the sup port of those who would under right conditicrs be glad to give him sup
 port.

HOTEL MEN PAY
into CITY GOLFERS
DARVEAU AND BROWN
FINED $500 APIECE
Change Pleas of Not Guilty TO Charge
of Violation of Local Option Law to
Guilty-Were Indicted Last Fall.

Umatilla county is $500 richer this
afternoon than it was yesterday The
cause of the increase in the size of
the county's bank account is due to
the fact that George Darveau. pro-
prietor of the Hotel st. George. and
w. a. Brown of the Hotel Pendlelton,
changed their pleas to guilty of the
charge of violating the local option
law and were fined.
1t will be remembered that these
two prominent hotel men were indict-
ed by the grand jury early last fall.
When court convened they were ar
raigned and through their attorney.
Col j II. Raley, entered pleas of not
guilty. Since that time they have ev.-
IDENTIFY changed their minds. for this
morning they took advantage of the
opportunity offered to change their
pleas of not guilty to guilty and ac-
oepted a fine of $500 each.
A mild sensation was created when
these men were indicted, but such a
length of time was allowed to elapse
without action being taken that the
general public had nearly forgotten
about them.
