Mayor Fitzgerald's campaign, the the
unpaid balance included, cost about

Morse Says
His Brokers
Sold Him Out

New York, Feb. 11.-From his cell in
the Tombs, Charles w. Morse, the fall
len banker, directed stock market Oper-
ations which he maintains should have
netted him profit of $4,000 in one
particular time.
Morse is suing his brokers, John Wal
lace & Co., for an accounting. He al
legged that the firm never gave him a
statement and converted to its own
uses stocks valued at more than $780,
900 put up by him as collateral.
Morse contends that he had special
agreement with his brokers that they
should not sell him out. He now
charges that they exacted double COM
missions on his transactions, executed
his orders awry and otherwise took
advantage of him when he was in Jail.

TWO MORE DOGS ARE
VICTIMS OF POISON
DASTARDLY WORK CONTINUES
DESPITE REWARD OFFERED
Bull Terrier of Miss Bertha Anger
and White Spitz of DIR. @. j. Smith,
Both Valuable CANNES, Secure
Poison and Die in Short Time.

Unterrified by threats of venge-
ance, offers of rewards or the threat
ened employment of a detective, the
North Pendleton dog poisoner is still
getting in his distardly and cowardly
work. Two more highly priced dogs
have just fallen victims to this un-
scrupulous individual. DR.. C. ]. Smith
and family and Miss Bertha Anger are
the latest mourners.
Miss Anger's dog was a bull pit
terrier while the Smith dog was the
pretty white spitz. Miss Anger had
recently refused an offer of $50 for
her dog.
DR.. Smith rode over to the North
side this morning to make a profess
sional call and as usual the dog ac-
companied him in the auto. He did
not think the pet had left the ma
chine, but he evidently did or else
the poison was handed to him as he
sat in the car, for after making the
call the doctor came back to the
Tallman drug store and while sitting
in the machine which was left stand
ing in front of the store. the dog
toppled over and the combined ef-
forts of Drs. Smith and Henderson
and Veterinarian McNabb failed tc
, save its life.

The prisoners were Frank Raymond
who was yesterday sentenced to serve

the Spaniard, who undertook to steal
Paul Hemelgarns watch as he was
wearing it. The Spaniard entered a
plea of guilty, a few minutes before
noon, was Immediately sentenced to
serve IS months and was on his way
to Salem an hour later.
The grand jury completed its de-
liberations for the present and the
members have gone to their several
homes. The only two indictments re-
turned were those against the two
men who are now on their way to the

may need their attention.

you may state that l have infor-
mallv accented the resignation of
Captain Bailey and that it is now up
to company l. to secure a new COM

a capable commander be secured at
once and the company recruited up to
a satisfactory strength. When the
men are enlisted l will come here
personally to muster them in or Will
send an officer here for that purpose.
This statement was made today by
Adjutant General w. E. Finer, who
passed through here on train No. 7,

He was at Baker City last night and
stated today that the Baker City

tain for the reorganized company and
he is being generally favored for the
place. Mr.. Ferguson was member
of the famous Second Oregon, which
rendered good service in the Philip

new POSTOFF|CE
STARTED YET
CONGRESSMAN ELLIS
EXPLAINS THE DELAY
In Letter just Received Says Long
Time Required in Claiming Title to
Local Ground Gave other Buildings
Priority-Pendleton Must Wait Her
Turn.

According to a letter just received
from Congressman Ellis there is not
a very cheering prospect that Pendle-
toms new post office and federal court
building will be erected within the
next few weeks. 1t seems that a
large part of the delay was occasion
ed by the long time required in clear
ing the title to the local ground and
that the Pendleton building must
wait until after others which slipped
in ahead of it during the wait, have
been completed.
The following is from a letter re-
ceived from the congressman in an
swer TO an inquiry concerning the
post office situation:
Il will say that for the reason
that title to our site was not secur-
ed at an earlier date numerous
other buildings were placed in ad-
vance of ours and in cases of this
kind, to use an old phrase, lit is like
going TO MILL" everyone must await
his turn.
The Pendleton building cannot be
constructed until those authorized
prior to it, or those that secured full
title to their sites prior to securing
the same for that building, have been
taken care of.
II have been before the depart
ment repeatedly in regard to the
matter and have consulted with nu-
merous others who are situated the
same as l am and all of them get
inst the same treatment, that is, must
wait their turn.
''The Baker City building was au-
thorized two years prior to the time
I came to Congress and constructor
was not commenced until within the
last year.
'I have talked with the architec
with regard to the federal court anC
he assured me that in the event ina
he could not provide for building
suitable for both postoffice and cour
out of the present appropriation H.
would apprise me of that fact II
ample time that l may, II possible
secure an additional appropriation.
"I might add that this time is
very poor time to increase appropri
alton as the great cry is economy. o
one thing I feel quite sure that
that no one takes more pride in hav
ign a federal building at Pendleto
than myself. and I will not overloo
any opportunity to have it erecte
at the earliest day possible"
Yours very truly,
w. R. Ellis"
