MARTIN CONE, BUT
NOT FORGOTTEN

John Martins beaming countenanee
and original sermonizing were missed
at the Y. M. C. A. service in Oahu
prison yesterday. Theo. Richards and
Ed Towse were in charge of the meet
ing. Mrs. Grace Crockett directed the
music. Nearly all the inmates gather
ed under the wonderful kamani tree
at IL o clock. There were several
hymns, with Mr.. Richards at the organ.
Then came the reading of the 9th
PSALM, after which prayer was offered
by the Rev. J. l.. Hopwood. The re-
mainder of the program was as fol
lows:
Selection. ................O o. p. Choir
Song ........... Ethelwyn Crockett
Violin Solo ..... Mr.. Tallett
Address-Faith and Will. Mr.. Towse
Address-Tests of Life Rev. Hopwood
Song ........... Mrs. Grace Crockett
The singing and the violin solo were
especially fine.
This was Mrs. Crockett's farewell
to the prison people, and number of
the inmates advanced to offer good
wishes for pleasant trip and safe re-
turn and to thank the lady for her
many visits to the prison. Mrs.
Crockett leaves soon to be away for a
year. The prison officials presented her
with two large bouquets.
Other substitutes for Mr.. Martin will
conduct prison service next Sunday.

HOT FIGHT ON HOUSE RULES
Dalzelrs Resolution to Adopt CID
Rules Is Voted Down On
Rollcall.
HOT FIGHT ON HOUSE RULES

Washington, March 15.-Joseph
G. Cannon. Of Illinois. was today re-
elected speaker of the house of rep
resentatives of the 6lst congress, re-
ceiving 2O4 votes; Champ Clark, of
Missouri, 1876: Cooper, Wisconsin, 8;
Esch, Wisconsin. l Norris, Nebras-
ka, 2; Hepburn, Iowa, l.
The fight on the rules of the house
began at 1922 p. m, when Mr.. Dali
cell, of Pennsylvania, offered reso-
luton making the rules of the last
house those for the present session.
The Democrats forced rollcall on
ordering the previous question.
The previous question was order
ed, 1874 tC 1873, the effect of which
was to shut off debate. The roll was
then called on the adoption of the
resolution. The resolution was de-
feated, 1S9 to 1913, thus accomplish
ing the success of the insurgents.
The house then, regardless OF
party alignment. adopted by vote
of 211 to 172 a resolution by FitZ-
gerald Dem, New York;, whereby
the rules were amended in several
important particulars
The insurgents did not win the
complete victory they counted on,
but succeeded in bringing about an
exceedingly lively session. The Fitz-
gerald resolution, which is in the
nature Of a compromise, was a sub
stitute for one offered by Clark of
Missouri 1t is said the amended
rules will enable a member to have
a proposition brought before the
house without having to go to the
speaker for recognition, and will pre-
vent favoritism by the action of the
committee on rules in special cases.
The Fitzgerald amendment makes
no change in the present method of
selecting the rules committee, nor is
there any change in the method OF
selecting committees.
Cannon is inclined to regard the
amendment as a slight Improvement
on the present rules.
Only five committees of the house
will be named by Speaker Cannon
for the present. These will be the
ways and means, rules, printing.

Indebted to Former Counsel
{ for $4,000.

Spokane, Wash, March 16-A re-
port that the Great Northern Rail-
road officials and NJ J. Gordon, its
former counsel, now under investi-
cred with a member of the state su-
preme court, have reached an under
standing which will acquit him and
also stop further investigation has
been discussed in higher places for
several days.
The general tendency since Presi-
dent Louis Hill declined to see Depu-
ty Prosecutor Webster at ST. Paul
has been to give credence to this ru-
NOR.
The basis of accord between Judge
ii. j. Gordon and the Great North
ern railway, it is alleged on reliable
Information, is about as follows:
That later investigation of Judge
Gordon's accounts with the company
shows that he has paid all accounts
for which he drew money to settle;
that after all deductions are made
and accounts balanced, the Great
Northern has found itself indebted to
Judge Gordon in the sum of $4,000,
which it has already paid. Whether
the records of the railroad company
at St. Paul will substantiate this as
sertion is not known.
Such showing as that outlined
above at this date would be expected
to shut off any deeper inquiry into
railroad political influences in this
state, a matter that is of much inter-
est to the public.

WESTON BEGINS LONG TRIP
Veteran Starts From New York for
San Francisco.

New York. March 15.-From New
York to San Francisco ca foot is the
long tramp planned by Edward Pay
son Weston, the worlds most famous
walker, who began his journey to-
day at the New York postoffice.
Today is Mr.. Weston's 10th birth
day. His age is probably the most
astonishing feature of his venture.
since the walk from New York to
the Pacific Coast in the time in
which Mr.. Weston promises to do it
is one to tax severely the powers of
a man half his age. He expects to
cover the route, more than 1000
miles, in 100 days, excluding Sum
day. 1t is a matter of principle
with Mr.. Weston never to walk on
Sunday. He devotes the day to rest
and to delivering temperance lee
lures. The expenses of his trip are
paid from the proceeds of the lee
lures.
Mr. Weston first attracted the
worlds attention as pedestrian in
1867, when he walked from Port
land, Me-, to Chicago in &c days. In
1907 Mr.. Weston repeated that walk.
but bettered his record by % hours.

with obtaining money under false
pretenses by displaying letters from
ex-President Roosevelt and Cardinal
Gibbons, was sentenced to serve an
indeterminate term in the Concord

Five Miles of Ditch Dug.

Grants Pass-The farmers and ranch
ers of this community are jubilant
over the advancement made on the ir-
bitches. The gravity ditch on
the north side of town has been COM
pleted almost to the city limits, while
on the north side of Rogue river the
high land ditch to Fruitdale has been
completed to the opening of the valley.
Altogether five miles of waterways are
ready for use. Water will be turned
into the bitches within 80 days.

oregon STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
HIGH SCHOOL FOR WESTON.
Citizens Propose to Make Good Use
of Normal School Building.

Weston-The district school board
has given notice of a special meeting
May 81 to vote on the proposition of
establishing high school. This ac-
tion is taken in view of the state nor
NAL boards refusal to permit the use
of the states property at Weston for a
normal school supported with private
funds.
The Eastern Oregon state normal
school will therefore cease to be, with
the commencement exercises May 23-
25, after being conducted more than 20
years as a state institution. The state
board will be petitioned for the use of
the states plant for public and high
school purposes, the district agreeing
to take care of the property for which
no provision was made by the legisl-
ature.
In view of the fact that the COM
munity gave all the ground and one of
the buildings to the state, it is thought
that the request will be granted.
