EARNHART WINS
FROM SWlTzLER
COURT GIVES HIM THE
POSSESSION OF THE ISLAND
Another Battle in Island Controversy
Is Fought Out-Judge Bean Dis
solves Injunction Keeping Earnhart
Off Island.

F. f. Earnhart is once more in
complete and-for the time being
undisturbed possession of the Dave
Beavert or Little Switzler island in
the Columbia river. Circuit Judge
H. ]. Bean this morning rendered a
decision dissolving the injunction
which he had granted a few days ago
and which put Earnhart off the is
land as we'll as ordered him not to
harvest the alfalfa crop.
The island contains about 20 or so
acres of land and is valuable chiefly
for growing alfalfa. 1t is claimed by
William Switzler who had purchased
the improvements made on it by Bea-
vert and who says he intended to Sc
cure final possession by means of the
homestead law A little more than
a year ago, Earnhart took possession
of the island and the case has been
in the courts since that time.
SwitZler secured an injunction
from Federal Judge Wolverton which
put Earnhart off. A few weeks ago,
the Wolverton decision was overruled
by higher court and Earnhart went
on again. 1t was then that the tenn
porary injunction was secured from
the circuit court.
Beams decision this morning was
to the effect that the state circuit
court has no jurisdiction in this case.

J. T. SMITH WOOL To Be MADE
INTO PENDLETON INDIAN ROBES

An important wool sale was made
this morning when the Pendleton
Woolen Mills company purchased the
Barnhart clip of the ]. f. Smith
company This Is considered one of
the best clips in the country and is
the one on which five different bid
ders tied at the sale here last Satur-
day. The bids were all refused by
Mr.. Smith and this morning he dis
posed of the wool to Clarence Bishop
of the Pendleton Woolen Mills COM
pany. The price has not been made
public.
The clip consists of $4,000 pounds
of exceptionally good wool and there
is much satisfaction in local circles
that the Pendleton plant was able to
secure and to keep at home such a
high grade of raw material. This
will now be made up into the famous
Pendleton Indian robes and other
goods turned out by the local manu-
featuring establishment and will as
sist in further spreading the fame Of

Pendleton.

Pendleton,
The Pilot Rock clip Of the same
company, consisting of 10000 pounds
was sold Saturday at 16 3-S cents, this
being the highest price paid either
here or at Pilot Rock.
A total of about $4,000 pounds of
wool changed hands at the two places.
The prices paid were about half cent
higher than those offered at either
of the former sales and for that rea-
son the growers let go more freely.
Practically livery clip offered was
sold. The most notable exception was
the Barnhart clip of the j. e. Smith
company.
one small clip changed hands at IL
cents, but the others brought from
13 Ia to 16 3-S cents.
There are no more sales days sched-
uled for Pilot Rock or Pendleton. The
wool yet remaining in the hands OF
the growers will therefore be disposed
of at private sale, or consigned to the
Chicago warehouse.

Washington, June 13.-Three thou
sand pages bristlng with vituperation
were submitted today by the attor-
neys who appeared before the Bal
linger-P -Pinchot investigation commit
tee. THE record disclosed that Bal
linger is hostile to the people and
shows his cooperation with special in
terests and with violation of the law"
says the Brandeis brief. 81 trust the
committee will find the public do
main in unsafe hands" said Peppers.
"The prosecutions contention is cruel
and baseless. 1t is nothing on which
to assail the character of cabinet
members and is absolutely no ground
for an attack" declared Vertrees'
brief. These three briefs totaled
nearly a thousand written pages. They
were largely along the lines of argu-
ment laid down bl the attorneys be-
fore the committee previously. Bal
linger was severely excoriated in the
documents.
Bra1deis asked that CLAWS be re-
warded as a patriot Vertrees re-
ferred to him as a traitor, and a
snake" Pepper defending Pinchot,
referred to the discharged forester as
"a Jealous advocate of good govern
ment" Vertrees called him IAN
arch conspirator seeking to destroy
the good name of cabinet officers"
Brandeis, referring to the CLAWS
charges, declared the records prove
the facts as stated. These were not
the same records the president saw.
In this proceeding Wickersham ap-
pears no longer as an assistant judge
but as an over Jealous advocate, Law
Ter is no longer a judge but stands in
his true light as prejudiced witness
and bitterly vituperative.
I'm these cases CLAWS, Pinchot,
Jones and Kerby have been dismissed
and Newell and Davis hold only a
slight tenure of office. The commit
tee will determine whether they are
snake to be killed or traitor to be
Stunned. If any of them told the
truth, the secretary of interior should
be dishonored and declared unfit for
office

mediately secured the proxy of Mr.
Burgess and left by automobile for
Hermiston to attend the meeting.
Lougklin says he requested that the
Montana stockholders wait until such
time as the stock should be fully rep
resented, in order that all the busi-
ness. of the company could be settled
up and disposed of. They, however,
refused to do so and he says that
when the dust of Mr.. Thompson's au-
tomobile was seen coming over the
hill into Hermiston they proceeded to
close up their business as fast as they
could, endeavoring to finish it before
he could arrive. However, he got
there before the meeting was closed
and by his promptness succeeded in
voting the stock represented by him
and preventing the control of the cor
poration from passing entirely out of
the hands of the local stockholders.
Attorneys Approved Action.
Mr.. Loughlin states that he is thor
oughly satisfied with his position in
the entire matter. That all of his

poration, r. r. Johnson, and that in
addition Mr.. w. L. Thompson has
had the matter thoroughly examined
by his attorneys, who have assured
him that the records of the corpor-
alton are entirely regular.
The complaint also asks for an ac-
counting from Mr.. Loughlin, as treas
urer of the company, but Mr.. Lough-
Lin states that the accounts of the
corporation have been repeatedly ex-
amined by the Montana stockholders
and by accountants they have desig-
mated, and have been approved by
them. and that he has no fear what
ever on that score.
Mr.. Loughlin considers the proper
ty a good property and says it would
have been possible to have disposed
of practically the entire tract had it
not been for the constant efforts of
the Montana stockholders to hinder
his actions.

WHAT DOES RECALL OF

Washington, June 13.-Diplomats
are discussing the sudden recall Of
the Prince and Princess Fushimi OF
Japan, who are touring America
There is much speculation as to
whether their recall means that Jap
an intends to renounce the existing
treaty with this country. tits believ-
ed it will be formally renounced Fri
day. The anticipated act is not a
sign of hostility, but there is feeling
that Japan did not want to place the
royal couple in an embarrassing po-
sition should the treaty negotiations
result in acrimony The Prince and
Princess start for Seattle tomorrow
and thence to Japan.
