FAKER QUEEN HOPS FROM
FRYING PAN INTO FIRE

After drawing IA few deep drauShts
of freedom last evening. Mrs. Maud
Baney, Maud Johnson or Hazel Halle
ton, is again in durance vile. She was
freed by Judge Bean last evening on
the habeas corpus proceedings insti-
tuted by her attorney, Judge James
a. Fee, but she was almost immedi-
ately placed under arrest again on
fugitive from justice warrant which
had been issued in the evening by
Justice of the Peace Joe H. Parkes,
The heading of the habeas corpus
proceedings which had been set for
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, did
not commence until about3 80 Then
for more than an hour war of words
was conducted by Judge Fee for the
defense and District Attorney Phelps
for the state
Fee argued that the Washington au-
thorities were not entitled to the GUS
tody of the woman for the reason that
they had her in that state and vol
unfairly allowed her to be brought
into Oregon. He further held that
this court had no jurisdiction, insist
ing that II was purely discretionary
matter with the governor. He also
declared that the local court could
not deliver Mrs. Johnson to the
Washington authorities so long as she
was under conviction and sentence II

this state.
In making his ruling Judge Bean
finally, dismissed all charges against
the woman in this state, eliminated
the affidavit of Sheriff Sappington of
Vancouver, which was contained in
the return of Sheriff Taylor and held
that the petition for the issuance of
fugitive from Justice warrant from
his court should have been made a
separate proceeding He further in
timated that owing to the congested
state of the business of his court that
the warrant should be secured from
some other committing magistrate in
this city. His tip in this regard was
taken and the warrant was secured
from the justice court.
A part of these rulings were an

ton of the arguments at o'clock.
but the woman was not turned loose
until after o'clock in the evening.
1t will probably be ascertained to-
day. whether or not the Oregon gov
erEor Is to honor the requfsition pa
pers from the state of Washington. II
the washington authorities are final

warrant from California, as she is
wanted in Santa Cruz and Ventura,
two cities of that state. on similar
charges to the one on which she is
wanted at Vancouver.

GAyNOR IS MADE
MAYOR OF GOTHAM
ENTERS UPON DUTIES
OF HIS OFFICE TO-DAY
His Direct Patronage Compares Fa-
vorably With President Taft's-
Rules Over More People Than
Many Potentates-Much Interest in
New Administration.

New York, Jan. Judge William
j. Gaynor today became Mayor Will
liam ] Gaynor. The direct patron
age that goes with the office of mayor
of New York compares favorably
with that of President Taft. His pri-
vate secretary receives $4,000 per
year-s1 900 more than Taft's, while
his legal adviser receives $4,000 more
than Taft's. In almost all other of
the cabinet offices the salary Is cor
respondingly larger than the same Of
fices in the federal service. The new
mayor will exercise rule over twice
as many people as are in Norway, D.
10000 more than there are In Den
mark, Servia or Greece. and over a
million more than Switzerland. There
are enough people on the city's pay
roll to populate a Springfield, ILL.,, or
a Topeka, Kan, with budget ex-
ceeding that of many states
Much interest centers in the new
administration. Judge Gaynor has
frequently been referred to while on
the bench as catering to the galleries
in his decisions and remarks pending
arguments. 1t is hoped that he will
play to the people and endear himself
by an economical and honest admin
istratlon that will make OF him presi-

Secretary MacWhorter of the Inter-
state Company Closes Deal Which
Involves Nearly $5O,OO0-Merger
Company VIII Be. Largest indie
pendent Line in Eastern Oregon.

One of the most important tele-
phone deals ever made in eastern
Oregon was consummated in this
city last evening, when the Interstate
Telephone company took over the sys-
tenn of the Eastern Oregon Independ-
ent Telephone company. The latter
Is probably better known as the But

take formal charge of the system.
The deal was made by Secretary
MacWhorter of the Interstate COM
dependent company. The considera-
ton is between $4,000 and $4,000.
and the number Of miles OF line in
cluded in the deal is about 200
President w. e De Larm and Sec
retary R. H. MacWhorter of the In
terstate company, will be the presi-
dent and secretary of the newly ac-
quired system which will retain its
present name. It is probable that
the name of the purchasing company
will be changed to that of the one
PuECHstStu.
The Eastern Oregon Independent
company has supplied all the country
between Pendleton and Heppner with
telephone communication. Aside
from having connections with the Pa
cific company In this city. at Heppner
and Umatilla, it has maintained ex-
changes at Echo. Stanfield, Hermis-

Gus Steimel, a boatman, saw the
gorge begin to move and attempted
to warn the men at work on the
bridge by running across the ice. He
was caught half way to the bridge
in the breaking ice and nearly lost
his life before he was rescued.
William Frederick, one of the men
rescued on the tug said:
II don't know whether all of those
at work near the river got aboard, as
every man looked after himself. If
many tried to get ashore by jumping
the floes some of them certainly
drowned

rescuers reached him.

At the rear of the ambassadorial
procession came the brilliant suite of
Baron Yasuya Uchlda the new Jap
anese Ambassador, who arrived in
Washington a little more than a week
ago.
Two of the new ambassadors-Hu
sein Kiazim Bey, of Turkey, and Senior
de la Barra, of Mexico-were absent.
They were represented by the charge
d'affairs of their respective embassies.
The ministerial parade was led by
the representative from Costa Rica,
Senor Calvo. Chang Yin Tang, the
new Chinese minister, was officially
received only about a week ago, and
he was the last of the diplomats, but
the brilliant Oriental appearance Of
his train more than made up for the
rear end position. The other new di-
plomats of ministerial rank attend
ing their first New Years reception
were: Mr.. Shannon, from Haiti;
General Velez, from Cuba; Senior
Rojas, from Venezuela; Mr.. Coromilas
from Greece; the Marquis of Vilalo-
bar, from Spain; Senior Jubert from
the Dominican Republic. and Count

The buglers sounded another call.
and representatives of the army and

in all the glory of full dress uniforms,
the military and naval officers made
brilliant showing. They were the
last of the uniformed visitors. The
assemblage took on a more subdued
appearance as they departed.
They were Immediately followed by
the civilian officials of the govern

A reduction of freight rates which
is of considerable Importance to stock
men of Umatilla county as well as Of
all eastern Oregon is announced by
the o. r. & y. and North Bank roads
While the revision of freight tariffs
which is now in progress will effect
a number of lines, the chief changes
will be in regard to the rates on hogs,
cattle, sheep and packing house pro-
ducts.
According to reports from Portland
the changes are being made princi-
pally as a concession to the new pack
ing house and stock yards industry ON
the peninsula but the stockmen Of
eastern Oregon will also profit there
by as II will mean an improved mar
ket for their products. 1t will also
probably mean that more livestock
will be shipped from this county to
Portland in the future and less to Pu-
get Sound points. Heretofore the
greater part of the shipments made
from this <ity have gone to Seattle and
Tacoma.
A One Fourth Reduction.
Cattle, sheep and hogs are to take
rate equivalent to rs per cent of the
standard rate out of Portland. II IL
said that in buying punches of stock
frequent ill-fed animals are deliv-
cred with the better ones. The new
rates will give stockgrowers an oppor-
tunity to purchase animals unfit for
slaughter and ship them at low rates
tn points where they may be fed to
good condition.
Packing-house products will take an
eastbound rate in carloads of 40 cents
per 100 to Pasco, with 5o-cent
rate to Spokane. The old rate was 4e
and 65 cents. Fresh meats and poul-
try. heretofore taking a rate of IS
and s5 cents, will take a rate of so
and IS cents.
The new rates on packing-house
products apply on both lines. and both
the o. r. & n. and Southern Pacific.
as we'll as the North Bank, are pub
fishing the rs per cent rate on stock
cattle to Oregon interior points for
feeding and grazing.
On the North Bank road the Spo-
kane rate on pig iron shows reduc-
ton from $3.50 &c $3.50 per ton Of
2240 pounds. This rate has been car
ried by existing o. r. & N. tariffs for
about 80 days, and win be continued
in the new tariffs. In all particulars
the new rates will be the same be-
tween Portland and competitive points
on the o. r. & n. and Spokane, Port
land & Seattle.
In addition, the North Bank has
made a revision in its tariffs between
Portland and Grand Dalles and way
points where rates are affected by
water competition. Heretofore COM
petition has been met with low class
rates. but the class rates have been
increased to figures proportionate to
rates to other points and reductions
have been made in certain commodi-
ties that are handled by the boats.
The North Bank tariffs too, will
give Linton and intermediate points
the same distribhtive rate that Port
land now possesses, the idea being to
aid the upbuilding of industries in
those localities.

Providence, r. l., Jan. 1.-The new

st. Louis, Jan. 1.-Three hundred
feet of false structure of the Mckinley
bridge now under construction across
by an ice jam at s o'clock last night
Sixty-nine men were thrown into
the river and some may have been
drowned. One hundred and fifty men
were at work on the structure when
the jam began to move. Eighty-one
heard the warning snap of the tim
bers in time to escape to the steel
work, but SO others went down in the
twisted mass of timbers.
Struggling Men Imperiled.
Three hoisting engines and a trav-
eler also went down. imperilling the
struggling men below.
Captain John Short in charge of a
tug and two barges. picked up 40 men
and got them ashore after two hours
battle with the ice. which is jammed
six feet high in many places.
Several times the barges threatened
to crush the tug. and several times
the vessel nearly turned turtle when
forced upon the ice by pressure behind
it.
The 29 men unable to reach the tug
are believed to have reached shore
across the floating ice floes, but COM
pany officials last night said they
would not know whether any lives
were lost until today. when the men
will be paid off
The property loss is estimated at
$3.50. 900. and completion of the bridge
will be delayed several months. The
bridge is being build by the Illinois
Traction system.
Captain Proves Hero.
Company officials said that many
lives would certainly have been lost
but for the heroism of Captain Short.
Twice his little tug was caught be-
tween the barges and threatened with
destruction, and each time he fought
back the men on board to prevent
them from risking their lives on the
floes.
Twice his rudder became jammed,
but he stuck to the boat. Once he
risked his life to clear the tiller by
climbing down into the ice and pulling
out the jam.
The second time the rudder JAM

boat drifted helplessly down stream.
threatened by instant destruction by
the barges and ice. Finally, rescue
parties with ropes reached him from
ashore after two hours battle, and
he and his men were landed.
Eleven men were unable to get
aboard the tug when the span went
down and clambered upon a pile driv-
er moored in a small barge. This
barge drifted with the ice for three

Washington. Jan. 1. - The expan-
sive Taft smile overflowed its usual
boundaries today and embraced the
world.
The occasion was the first annual
New Years day reception OF the new
administration. The big. broad Taft
personality reached out and gathered
to Its kindly presence thousands
from the courtly members Of the d.
plomatic corps to the plainest OF the
plain people.
It was "open house" at the presi-
Dental abode. with Citizen and Citi-
zeness Taft as host and hostess.
Long before the White House doors
were unlatched the crowds began to
assemble In the presidents front yard.
II was a motley gathering that had
come to wish "Big Bill' happy New
Year, and shake his hand In greeting
Young and old chatted in the line.
Fur-lined overcoats rubbed elbowa
with garments that were shabby and
thin. Venerable gray-beards, young
bloods. timid maids. and matrons of
pcise huddled together in hetero-
While the great American people
were aligning themselves In snaky
column that filled the yard. and ex-
tended for blocks up Pennsylvania
Avenue. their high priced servant was
doing his duty as the head of great
world power, greeting the represen-
tatfves of the other world powers with
words of cordiality and regard.
As the great hall clock in the White
House doomed out eleven and four
buglers stepped from the band and
sounded the Presidential fanfare, the
Executive and Mrs. Taft left the fam
ily appointments on the second floor
and started down the great main stair
case. with the Vice-President and
Mrs. Sherman and the cabinet mem
bers and their wives, they took up
their position at the southern end of
the Blue room. The ladies stepped
to the right and formed a part of the
receiving line. Then began the bril-:
liant. formal reception of the diplo-
matte corps, the "elite" of official life.
No Special Guests.
Only one thing that has character
lied white House New Years recep-
tions in the past was lacking. That
was the gathering OF specially invited
guests who In former administrations
crowded the Blue Room. The sole
permanent occupants OF the room to-
day we're President Taft and his Off
cial family. Mrs. Taft's health has
forced the curtailment of social fes-
tivities at the White House. and 1t
was thought best to conserve her
strength on this occasion by omitting
the personal guests.
Diplomats in Body Attend.
A gorgeous procession OF diplomats,
clad in the brilliant panoply Of the
court costumes of their various ma
tions, was the spectacle of the oc-
casion. Led by the Italian Ambassa-
dor. Baron Mayor des Planches. the
dean of the diplomatic corps by virtue
of his length Of service here in WASH
ington. and followed by the entire
body of accredited foreign representa-
tives. ambassadors first, then minis
ters. and both arranged according to
length of service-the newest ambas-
sadors and ministers last In the pro-
cession OF their rank-they entered
from the south door Of the mansion
and with great formality made their
wev to the host and hostess. With
-each ambassador were the members
