FROM HIS INJURIES
CREAMERY MANAGER
COULD NOT RECOVER
Man Injured i'm Accident Yesterday
Never Recovered Consciousness
Has Been Resident of Pendleton for
Past Ten Years

O. +. Harper, president and man
ager of the Pendleton creamery. died
last night at st. Anthony's hospital
as a result of the injuries received in
the accident at the local plant, yes
| terday morning. He passed away
without ever having regained con-
sciousness.
Oliver Eugene Harper was born in
Owatonna. Mimi, August 25. 1869,
and was therefore, nearly A years of
age. When a mere boy he accom-
panied his parents to South Dakota
and later came to California. For the
past ten years he has been a resident
Of Pendleton and eastern Oregon
He was united in marriage October
3, 1895, to Miss Flora Camp, of San
Jacinto, Calf, and in. addition to his
wife is survived by two daughters
Olive and Lilah, a father, mother,
two brothers and two sisters His

a member Of the First Presbyterian
church and has been an active MEM
Der of that organization since that
time. He was also a loyal member
of the order of Knights of Pythias.
In speaking of the sad accident this
morning, friend said:
by his death, his wife loses kind
ana loving husband, his daughters an
affectionate father; his parents,
brothers and sisters, noble, loving

Chicago, LII, June 24.-Federal
regulation and control of railroad
stock and bond issues was advocat-
ed by Attorney General Wickersham
addressing the Illinois Bar association
today. He argued the government is
empowered constitutionally to exer-
else such control. He said: Eco
nomists and courts condemn the
reckless issue of railroad stock and
bonds which are certainly as demoral-
izing as lotteries. The record of rail-
road receiverships, for the last 20
years. testifies to the effect such is
sues have upon the ability of the rail-
roads to perform their functions.
Watered stock and bonus stock which
have been issued is the greatest abuse
connected with the management of
corporations.
Wickersham today declared that the
government prosecution of various
indicted packing companies will con-
tinue despite the court ruling that
the indictments are faulty. Wicker
sham declined to discuss the matter
regarding the causes for the faulty
Indictments. He intimated the pack
ers will be prosecuted as individuals
instead of under joint indictments ls
the grand jury.

GOLDEN RULE CHIEF OF
CLEVELAND Is ACQUITTED

Cleveland. June 23.-Chief of Po-
lice Fred Kohler. known throughout
the country as the golden rule chief
and lauded by Colonel Roosevelt as
the nations police executive was ac-
quilted today of charges of gross i'm
morality and habitual drunkenness by
the civil service commission before
whom he has been on trial. An hour
after his acQuittal he was reinstated
as chief by Mayor Baehr. who had
suspended him when the charges were
filed.
The trial lasted nearly two weeks
and about two hundred witnesses were
examined. Eearly in the proceedings,
the prosecution dropped 13 of the or
iginal % charges on account of lack
of evidence.
In its decision, the commission ex-
culpated Chief Kohler unreservedly.

With bankers present from every
section of the state, the Oregon State
Bankers association was convened in
fifth annual convention in the Eagle

O'Clock. President r. w. Schmeer.

the members OF the convention stand

Pendleton Junior college, pronounced
the invocation and the session was on.
In his usual happy manner Col. ].
II. Raley welcomed the visitors to
Pendleton. He recalled the days when
Pendleton was so small that II little
dreamed that one day there would
be gathered here the representative
financial men of the state. He recall
ed the establishment of the first bank
in this city, which then held sway in
a small wooden building and was
equipped with one small iron safe. He
then pointed out the wonderful devel-
opment which the city and county
had undergone and said that 1t was
with much pride that the bankers
were, welcomed to Pendleton,
n. u. Carpenter of the Portland
Trust company, responded to the ad-
dress of welcome, expressing the ap-
probation OF the visitors for the sin

welcomed by the local bankers. and
the citizens of Pendleton in general

According to the report of Secre-
tary ]. L. Hartman of the Hartman
G. Thompson company of Portland,
the membership has increased during
the past year from 145 to III and
more than 75 per cent of the banks
of the state are now represented in
the membership.
Another interesting feature of the
secretary's report was the showing
that during the past year there have
been more cases calling for the at
tention of the detective department Of
the association than during the for
mer four years of the organizations
history. He attributed this to the
Seattle fair. giving It as his opinion
that crooks of all kinds who were at
tracted to the fair remained in the

Hoboken, June PA hard legal
battle will be fought in the Ameri-
can courts against the return OF
Charlton to Italy to stand trial for
the confessed murder of his wife,
whose body was thrown into Lake
Como The powerful relatives OF
Charlton have already set machinery
in motion to prevent extradition. EN-
inent lawyers have been employed by
his father, Judge Charlton. Tha
father says his son is insane and VIII
try to prevent his extradition on this
ground Captain Scott, brother OF
the woman, says he is not insane. At
torney Clarke, Charlton's represent
tative, has forbade all interviews
any more. Alienists will examine the
slayer.
Charlton says he still loves his wife
and treasures the rings and jewels
she wore, yet he calmly discusses the
murder and his attempt to hide the
crime. Attorneys say Charlton can
not be convicted on anything but
mansaughter in the Italian courts,
the penalty for which is six years i'm
prisonment. AS Charlton has tuber--
culosis this is the same as death. The
Italian government will use every ef-
fCrt to secure eXtradtion.

Seattle, June 24.-The funeral of
John McGraw, former governor of
Washington, who died last night COL
lowing a hard fight against death.
was held this afternoon, the body be-

friends and relatives attended by re-
quest The dead man was wealthy.
He came to Seattle broke, but rapid
ly climbed from a position of hotel
clerk to governor in II years.
John Harte McGraw was born at
Barker plantation, Penobscot coun-
ty, Maine, October 1850. When he
was little more than two years old
his father was drowned. and when
he was IA he left home because of
disagreement with his step-father.
In 1876 he came west, arriving at
San Francisco in July and remain
ing there until December when he
came north to Seattle. While in San
Francisco he worked as a horse car
driver.
For several months after his arrival
on Puget Sound he was a clerk in a
local hotel, and finally purchased a

Quoted until 1879, when the building
was destroyed by fire. In quick sue
cession he secured a position on the
Seattle police force, was elected town
marshal and was made chief of police
and in 1882 was elected sheriff of
King county He was twice elected
to succeed himself.
In 1892 he was elected governor of
Washington, serving from 1898 to
1897, At the expiration of his term
he retired to private life, dividing his
attention between his law practice,
banking affairs and business interests
in Alaska.
For twenty years Mr.. McGraw was
probably the best known man in Sc

Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition,
president of the chamber of COM
merce for several terms, and at the
time of his death was president of
the Rainier club. His personal brav-
cry was displayed in suppressing the
anti-Chinese riots in 1885 in Seattle
and in his vigorous advocacy of the
gold standard in 1896 when he stood
almost alone among Washington pol
iticians.
