Declaring that she will not accom-
pany the Vancouver sheriff even as
far as Portland, without extradition
papers, Mrs. Maud Baney or Mrs.
Myrtle Johnson, is still being held at
the county Jail. The one year old
boy. whom she claims as her son,
but whom the Seattle authorities al
lege is an incubator baby, is keeping
her company.
Sheriff E. w. Sappington of Van
couver, Washington, arrived this
morning on the o'clock train, ex-
pecting TO return on the Portland To-
cal with the woman in his custody,
the case against her in the local
courts having been dismissed yester-
day afternoon at the instance of Dis
trict Attorney Phelps. When the
officer flom the Washington town
called at the office of Sheriff Taylor
this morning, armed only with the
warrant of arrest, he was promptly
informed by the accused woman that
if he took her he would have to
shackle her and take her by main
force.
After a consultation with District
Attorney Phelps, Sheriff Sappington
decided TO secure extradition papers
and to that end telephoned back to
Vancouver for the officials there 10

GEORGE TRACEY COMMENCES
BATTLE FOR HIS LIFE

was here to investigate the charges
against his relative and that IL the re-
suit of these Investigations convinced
him that there was possibility of
Tracey being innocent that he would
do all he could to save him but that
II he became convinced of the guilt OF
the accused man that he would do
nothing. His arrival last night in
company with the Idaho attorney
would seem to indicate that he thinks
his brother-in-law innocent of the
grave crime with which he is charged.
Tracy's attorney is probably de-
manding the preliminary hearing in
the hopes of being able to get line
on the evidence to be used against
the accused man. II Is probable,
however. that barely enough of this
will be presented to insure his being
held to the grand jury. 1t is believed
that the small amount of the evil
dence secured by Sheriff Taylor and
his deputies which has already been
given to the general public will be
sufficient to hold the accused man.
AS the grand jury will take up the
case against him Monday there Is ap-
parently very little to be gained by
Tracy or his attorney by prelimi-
nary hearing, unless they can force
the prosecution to divulge some more
OF the evidence against the prisoner
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-12-30

best that can be hoped by the WASH
ington authorities is to secure the
necessary papers and have them for
warded to Pendleton tomorrow. II is
quite possible that at least another
day Will elapse before they reach
here
In the meantime the so-called
queen of swindlers" through her at
torney, Judge James A Fee, has be-
gun habeas corpus proceedings to
secure her release. Judge Fee will al
so take the matter up with Governor
Benson and endeavor to induce him
not to honor the requisition papers
from the state of Washington on the
ground that the Washington authori-
ties had the v '.7ap in thae state once
and allowed her TO escape into Ore
gon.
In addition to being wanted in VAN
couver. the woman is also wanted in
San Francisco. where she will be
placed on trial on the charge of de-
frauding a railroad company out of
a considerable sum of money by
means of a fake damage suit.
The habeas corpus proceedings will
come up for a hearing before Circuit
Judge Bean tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock. The arguments of the at
torneys will be heard at that time, but
the judge may not render his decision
at once

WANTS TARIFF REFORMED.
Chamberlain Advocates Revision TO
West Birmingham Electors.

London, Dec. 29.-Joseph Cham
berlain today issued an address to the
electors of West Birmingham, advo-
eating tariff reform and reciprocity
with the colonies and attacking the
budget as placing a heavy burden of
taxation upon the people and at the
same time increasing the number of
unemployed.
The address asserted that home rule
for Ireland as promised by the liber-
ais not only would injure the friends
Of England there whose interests were
safeguarded by the present control.
but the danger to all would be greater
since Great Britain was now threat
ened by foreign nations as never be-
fore. After alleging that the liberals
desire a single chamber rule, the ad-
dress concluded with a criticism of
the governments lack of preparation
for the national defense.

beginning of the switchmen's strike
that has demoralized the freight traf-
fic of the northwest for nearly a
month, 80 men have lost their lives
in the various railroad yards affect
ed, according to a report made by the
governor today. The fatalities for the
most part are said to have been

men, who have been working as
strikebreakers. Accidental deaths
have averaged almost one each day

situation today. Railroad officials
declare that so far as they are con-

= :

Owing to the breaking of the wires
on the High line near Weston,
Pendleton's electric current was off
for several hours last night and the
city was forced to rely upon candles,
lamps. etc. for lighting purposes.
The trouble last night was due TO
the continued accumulation of frost
on the wires between Weston and
Milton. The weather in that section
has been severe and by last evening
the frozen fog. or frost had accumu-
lated upon the wires until they were
several inches thick. The heavy
strain caused the wires to break
shutting off the current. An attempt
was then made to supply Pendleton
with electricity over the reserve wires
but they too broke under the weight
of the frozen fog and the city was left
in darkness until about midnight.
In order TO repair the broken wires
"a crew was sent out from Walla Walla
by a special car. They succeeded in
repairing the line within few hours
However, some further work was done
.on the line during the forenoon to-
day, thus shutting off the current fer
a time.
That the lights will be on as usual
tonight is confidently predicted by
