ACCUSED OF
MURDER HIS
MIND FAILS

Berlin, June 2s:--Frau Won
Schoenbeck- Weber, wife of the eel
ebrated author who is being tried
on charge of having instigated the
murder of her first husband, Major
Won Schlenbeck, was today sent to
lunatic asylum, her mind having
given way under the strain of the
trial. 1t is not believed she can re-
cover her reason.
Won Schoenbeck was eighteen
years older than his wife and their
marriage was an unhappy one. The
woman fiirted with officers of the
regiment and is said to have in
spired Captain Won Goeben to kill
her husband. Won Goeben was ar
rested and confessed, placing the
guilt at the woman's door. He then
committed suicide.

Washington, June 28:-The In

day issued an order suspending the
new Erie communication rates until
October 8. The Erie was the only
one of the railroads entering New
York which refused to meet the
wishes of the commission by post
poning the date of the increased
commutation rates. The Erie later
agreed to suspend its increased rate
at the will Of the commission, and
the latter will probably revoke the
order.

Coming events cast their shadows
before them and also when they are
of sufficient Importance, are produc-
tive Of much speculation, argument
and gossip. 1t would take neither
sage nor seer to inform the natives of
this burg that something of unusual
interest is scheduled to happen with
in the precincts of Pendleton before
the rising and setting of many more
suns On every street corner. in cigar
stores and barber shops, and at all
public gatherings, save only those in
the churches, there can be seen ami
mated conversations and gesticula-
tions. To the faithful fans this stir
needs no Interpretation but to those
who do not follow closely the great
American game. let it be explained
that it signifies the approach of a
great contest, the battle Of the lead
ers of the league next Sunday after
noon when the Pendleton Colts and
the Weston Mountaineers meet for q
supreme test Of superiority
This game will not be an ordinary

Secure Photographs.

Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay.
Wis, May 19-As the world passed
through the tail of Halley's comet as
tronomers at the Yerkes Observatory
last night secured photographs and
accurate records of meteroic phenom-
ena and varying heavenly illumination
under atmospheric conditions nearly
perfect for work with camera and
telescope.
The pictures and data are consid-
cred of unusual value and may de-
velop scientific information and the
ories of unexpected Importance.
Professor Edward E. Barnard, one of
the worlds greatest authorities on
comets was much pleased with the
result of his observations. which have
extended almost without interruption
for 4S hours.
A most painstaking search was
made through the tail of the comet for
spots where illumination might be
lacking. This lack of illumination. it
was indicated, may aid greatly in de-
termining the substance of the glow
that follows the comets head.
The passing of the comet" said
Professor Barnard, will greatly en-
rich science. l consider the negative
phenomena observed last night of as
great value to science as positive
phenomena"
According to first computations
from observations made here. the
earth entered the million mile broad
tail of the comet at speed of slightly
more than 46 miles per second. At
| this juncture, the eminent scientists
gathered here agreed that the passage
would occupy a period of little more
than five hours.
Sixteen cameras especially con-
structed for photographins the sky,
and fourteen telescopes were trained
from this point on the passage of the
comet. Painstaking care was exer-
cised in the arrangement and use of
instruments to assure complete and
accurate data and pictures. Although
they had slept little on the previous
night and were busy all day with cam
eras and telescopes, the astronomers
spared nat moment for sleep last
night. The party at the observatory
included the following scientists:
| Professor S. A. Mitchell, Columbia
university New York; Professor Ed
win b. Frost, Professor Sherburne w.
Burnhom, Professor Edward A. Bar
nard. Professor John A. Parkhurst,
Professor Storrs B. Barrett. Profess
sor Frederick Slocum; oliver ]. Lee
and Mary L. Calvert
The battery of cameras covered
every visible foot of sky and hun
dreds of plates were exposed. A num-
Der of the cameras were rIxed on AK
les. revolving with extreme slowness
with lenses constantly on the comets
glowing tail.
Although moonlight was slight
handicap. the brilliantly clear sky
and favorable atmospheric condition,
made up for 1t. The photographs Sc
cured are considered invaluable

.b|G BATTLE. Of THE LEAGUE
LEADERS HERE ON SUNDAY

which attaches to it. Weston now
heads the league in the percentage
column. only having lost one game
during the season. while the local
team has dropped two. There are still
seven games for each team before the
finis is written, and, Of these, three
will be between Pendleton and wes-
ton. two in this city and one in the
camp of the enemy. Granting that
each Of these teams takes the remain
der of the series with Athena and Pi-
lot Rock. the fate of the pennant lies
in the outcome of the Pendleton-
Weston games, II the Colts can cap
ture all three, the championship will
settle upon them. IL they take two
they will tie up with the Mountain
eers, while IL they succeed in but cor
railing one. they must bow their heads
to the Weston lads as their conquer
ors
Therefore each team Sunday will
enter the arena with a desperation
born of the knowledge of what defeat
means, and the local people are prom
ised a game that will keep them on
their tiptoes throughout.

DAY At
CALEDON|AM PICNIC
MANY PLAN TO GO TO
ATHENA TOMORROW
Great Inflow of People at Athena In
dicates Success for Annual Gather
ing of the Clans-Special Feature
Program Has Been Prepared.

Tomorrow. Pendleton day at the
Caledonian picnic, promises to be an
other red letter day for that bustling
town. With the best program the as
sociation has ever presented and with
the cooperation of the Pendleton
Commercial association and Pendleton
citizens, the crowd in attendance on
the opening day Of the picnic promises
to eclipse all former days in the his
tory of the annual celebration.
The clans began gathering today
and with the arrival of tomorrow
mornings trains from each direction,
people will be pouring into the picnic
town by the hundred. 1t is expected
that there will be a general exodus
from this city for in addition to the
low fare granted by the railroad COM
pany for the roundtrip, many owners
of automobiles are planning to take
their machines up to participate in the
parade and all will be loaded with
passengers.
The Calenodian picnic has always
been a popular annual event, but this
year the celebration spirit seems to be
more rife than usual and It is be-
lieved that the town will be crowded
as it never has been before.
The program will start at 10 o'clock
with the bag pipe overture. This will
be followed by the address of welcome
by Mayor A. B. McEwen and the re-
sponse on behalf of the society by
Judge Cameron Of Portland.
The annual address will be deliver

Havana. May ia strong force of
picked rurales reached Pinar Del Rio
today. Officials fear revolutionist
uprising following the dynamite ex-
plosion yesterday which killed a
hundred and wounded five hundred
besides wrecking the barracks Of mas
sive stone. Many of the injured are
expected to die.
There were two, almost simultane-
Gus explosions of dynamite, supposed
to consist of 5000 pounds and they
completely demolished the rural
guard barracks in the city of Pinar
del Rio.
Most of the dead were rural guards
but the entire families of several Of
ficers of the rural guards. it is re-
ported, were killed, as well as sew
eral employees of the public works de-
partment and residents of the city. on
which fell the deluge of masonry and
debris
1t 's not known whether the explos-
ion was an accident or was due to
an act of conspirators, but the former
hypothesis is considered the more
probable Several relief trains carry
ing surgeons, officers and men of the
rural guard, and government officials,
started this afternoon from Havana
to the scene of the catastrophe, 1OS
miles away.
Captain Alfred Ravena and Cap
tain Gaspar Betancourt of the garri-
son and their families are repotred to
be buried in the ruins.
The barracks was a massive build
ing of Spanish construction and oc-
cupied an eminence in the outskirts
of the city. During the last interven-
ton. it was the headquarters of the
18th United States cavalry.
In consequence of the alarm over
race disturbances, the government or
dered all dynamite in the vicinity in
the possession of contractors for road
construction and other public works
to be removed to the barracks for
safe keeping Yesterday Afternoon the
work of removing the dynamite from
the barracks for shipment to Havana
was begun by employees of the public
works department, assisted by rural
guards.
They were loading cases of the dy-
Mantle on wagons when the explo-
sions occurred. The central court in
which the work was going on was
strewn with dead and wounded.
The work of exhuming the dead and
searching for those who still may De
alive went on all night. but it was
greatly retarded by the destruction
of the electric light wires and the fear
that a quantity of unexploded dyna-
mite may remain in the ruins.

tions were forthcoming. The COM
missioner was well primed with in
formation and all seemed to be satis-
fled with the answers given.
The business Of filing claims is now
in progress in the commissioners
room at the court house and this will
be rushed as rapidly as possible.
Many of the water users had their
blanks already filled out and where
the questions were correctly answered
a very brief time was required to dis
pose of the individual cases. In many
instances, however, Mt was necessary
to make corrections and alterations
so that some delays are being encoun-
tered.
The purpose of the proceedings be-
ing taken is to establish once and for
all the permanent water rights for
each of the individual irrigators along
the Umatilla river and each Of its
tributary streams.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-05-19

About 200 farmers who use water
from the Umatilla river or its tribu-
tary streams Of Birch and Mckay
creek, are gathered in Pendleton to-
day for the hearing before Commits
sioner Saxton and to place their
claims on file with that official. All
of today and tomorrow and possibly
a greater part of Saturday will be
consumed in this work though the
progress being made is very satisfac-
tory.
At the opening of the hearing this
morning Commissioner Saxton deliv-
cred an address to the irrigators who
were present in numbers sufficient to
fill the circuit court room to capacity.
As at Echo, he explained the purpose

Berlin, May 19.-Fifty- scien-
lists today alighted from a balloon
in which they spent the night to OBJ
serve the earth's passage through the
comet. They recorded no perceptible
change in the atmosphere as a result
of the alleged contact of the earth
with the tail. The Lick observatory
reports that up to daylight this morn
ing the earth hadn't entered the COM
ct and that unless it passes through
this forenoon Director Campbell says
it won't pass through at all. He said it
won the known definitely whether the
earth goes through the comet until to-
night when observations can be made.
Campbell said there is no possible
way to observe the comet during the
day time. He said Prof. Leuschner's
figures were correct so far as they
refer to the transit of the comet across
the suns disk, but owing to the curve
of the tail the earth hadn't yet en-
tered 1t.

No Effect on Atmosphere.

Portland, May 19.-"As far as we
could ascertain the passage of Hal
ley's comet last night did not affect
the meteorological conditions in the
least" said Edgar Beals Of the wea-
ther bureau today. I'VE had men on
duty during the time the tail en-
wrapped the earth, but nothing out of
the ordinary was noted 1t is cloudy
today over large part of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, and slightly
cooler, but this is ascribed to usual
changes in the atmospheric conditions
and not to the comet"
