FIGHTING BOB EVANS WAS
IN PENDLETON THIS AFTERNOON

Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans,
(Fighting Bob) was distinguished
visitor in Pendleton for a short time
today. He arrived on train No. 1
from the east at 1890 this afternoon
and left on the Spokane passenger
which pulled out Is or 20 minutes
after the arrival of the westbound.
Those who were at the depot at the
time the famous old sea fighter ar
rived easily recognized him from his
picture. His deep lined face and his
white hair made him a distinguished
figure though his garb and his dea-
menor was not unlike that of other
travellers.
While at the depot waiting for the
north bound train TO pull out Eight
ing Bob took advantage of the beau

many who were gathered at the train.
In his bluff but kindly manner the
old admiral greeted those who met

the proposed route practically decid-

DEMOCRAT CALLED TRAITOR
BY CHAMP CLARK

Washington, D. c.. March 15.-
Representative J. j. Fitzgerald, the
democrat who introduced a substitute
to the Clark resolution yesterday, is
being branded as a traitor today by
Champ Clark, the minority leader,
who alleged Fitzgerald has entered a
campaign with regular republicans
by agreeing to introduce a substitute
or compromise resolution giving the
insurgents a partial victory, but has
left great power still in the hands of
the speaker, and has failed to accom-
plish the full purpose for which the
fight was waged.

for the country"
Cannon Warns Up.
Speaker Cannon let out a little
steam today when he met Champ
Clark in the White House after his
conference with Taft. Clark asked
Cannon how he liked Yesterdays pro-
ceedings. Cannon shook his fist in
Ciark's face, saying: "The house is
virile because it can operate by the
will Of the majority. Talk about the
speaker being a car. Tommyrot!
What they attempted to do was to
create a committee of fifteen czars,

Toilette. La Toilette is fake"
Cannon then dashed away.

Fist Fight Case Settled.
In the case of Hawks versus Slush-
er, the court oyerruled Slusher's mo-
tion for a new trial. This was a suit
growing out Of a fist fight at Nolin
several months ago. Hawks, who is
teacher in the Nolin schools be-
came involved in an alteration with
slusher relative to the leaving open
Of a gate on the Slusher ranch. Dur
ing the fight whicn ensued, Hawks
horse ran away, dashed over a high
bluff, killing himself and smashing
the buggy to pieces.
Hawks brough suit for damages and
was awarded the verdict, the jury de-
Gliding that he was entitled to the
sum of $50. This will end this case
unless appealed to the supreme court.
Fee Continues as Guardian.
In the case Of Will Sturgis who al
legged that he was capable of manag-
ing his own affairs and sought to-
have his guardian, Judge Fee, re-

Gliding in favor of the guardian. Judge
Fee will therefore continue to act as
guardian. 1t is not believed the case
will be appealed further.

According to the Walla Walla I'm.
ion, farmer oGthat vicinity has con-
tracted his 1909 crop of bluestem
wheat to a milling concern for 81 per
bushel. Local grain dealers and mill
lers scout the idea, however. that this
Is any criterion of the values which
are to prevail for this years crop and
even express increduality as to the
truthfullness Of the report.
II is argued here that this would
make club wheat worth 90 or 97
cents per bushel, which sounds pre-
posterous. They also say that crops
are rarely ever contracted for in ad
vance when the price of wheat is as
nigh as at present. If the wheat was
low, the conditions would be differ
ent and advance contracts would be,
expected Not a single contract has
been reported In this vicinity.
The Walla Walla paper in speaking
OF the reported contract says it is the
first of the kind ever made in the
northwest at such a figure The con-
tract calls for grade No. | wheat and
Ii must be harvested and marketed
during the month of July to obtain
the sum offered.
The proposition of selling by con-
ract is in reality a gamble against the |
Weather. for as the grain has to be
delivered during July and does not
Happen to be ripe enough. the farmer
oses and would be forced to sell at
he market price.
Several offers similar to this one
lave been made in this city recently
o some of the biggest ranchers in the
ountry and although none of them
ave yet consumated any deals It is
expected that this will soon be one
Method for the farmer to unload his
iheat at the highest price.

Pasadena, Cal, March 16.-Not-
withstanding all the efforts that have
been made to prevent pooling of rail-

ong those who control stocks of rail-
roads there Is evidence today that E..
II. Hartman has in mind a scheme
to bring about a mutual understand
ing in regard to tariff arrangements
between all the railroads Of the coun-
try and a uniformity of rates that will
be greatly to the benefit of the stock
holders, and that the conference
which is to be held at Pasadena
while Mr.. Hartman is here, will be
concerned more or less with the plan.
Not all the railroad men who are
to take part in the conference, which
Mr.. Hartman still denies will be
held, have arrived and nothing of
Importance has yet been attained. c.
o. Butterworth Of the New York
Central road will arrive some time to-
morrow, it is expected.
Mr.. Hartman evidently expects
that congress at the spec
ial session will make some amend
ment to the laws governing the inter-
state commerce commissions work
which will permit the merger he now
has in mind. He seemed surprised
today over the fact that mention of
the matter had not been made in the

Washington, March 16.-President
Taft today sent to congress his spec
ial message calling for readjust-
ment, and revision Of the tariff. II
says: 81 have convened congress for
an extra session to enable it to give
immediate consideration to a revis-
ion of the Dingley tariff act. A pros
pect Of a change in rates on import
duties always causes suspension
and halt in business because of the
uncertainty as to changes to be made,
and their effects, therefore it is of the
highest Importance that the new bill
be agreed upon and passed with as
much speed as possible, consistent
with its thorough consideration"
The Payne tariff bill which will
be introduced into Congress late to-
day or tomorrow is said positively to
contain the following provisions:
No tax on coffee; lumber reduced
from two to one dollar per thousand;
free hides; lower schedules on shoes
and leather goods; steel materially
reduced; duties on sugar undisturb-
ed; concessions granted Cuba and the
Philippines; wool schedule will be
aimed at the amount of secured
wool in the fleece, permitting cheaper
trades of wool to get in at a less
duty.
Woolens will be slightly reduced
ma iron ore reduced. The bill will
pecify duties for articles made dut-
lblo by the treasury court decisions
nce the passage Of the Dingley law.

Conditions Have Changed.

President Taft points out that:
Conditions affecting production.
manufacture and business generally
have so changed in the last 12 years
as to require readjustment revision of
import duties as imposed by that
act" Continuing he says: More
than this, the present tariff act with
other sources of revenue will not fur
nish income enough to pay the au,
thorized expenditures by July /, and
the excess of expenses over receipts
for the current year will equal hun
dred millions. The successful party
at the last election pledged a revision
of the tariff, and the country and bus
mess community especially expects it.
For these reasons l deem the present
TO be an extraordinary occasion with
in meaning of the constitution, justi- |
flying and requiring the calling of an |
extra session. In my inaugural ad- |
dress l stated in a summary way the
upon which, in my judg-
ment revision of the tariff should
proceed and indicates at least one new
source of revenue which might be
properly resorted to to avoid further
deficit 1t is unnecessary for me to
repeat what | said then. l venture
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-03-16
Improvements Depend.

Mr. Hartman was asked: How
soon do you expect the railroads to
be able to resume work on improve
ments that were contemplated before
the panic?"
You may say" he answered that
as soon as an amendment is passed
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to allow the railroads
TO enter into a mutual agreement
that is permitting the strong roads
of the country to extend their credit
and protection over the weaker roads
just so soon will long contemplated
improvements be taken up and rushed
through to completion.
This means. of course, the expen-
iiture of a vast amount of money and |
eventually I believe it will result in |
in the cost and operation |
md in charges
