Rumor is Rife.

Another rumor in connection with
the Central Home Telephone Company
is that the bondholders will turn it
over to the Louisville Home Tele-
phone Company for a certain amount
Of collateral trust bonds, interest on
the bonds to be guaranteed by the
Louisville Home Telephone Company.
The Central Home Telephone Com
pany failure means a big loss to the
investors in its securities. The COM
pany was organized in 1905, and its
bonds were sold at SIS with a 100 per
cent stock bonus. At that time the
stock sold up to 25 share. Stock
holders will not receive a cent. The
amount paid to the bondholders will
call for about 100000, which means
a loss on the original investment of
nearly 100000. e. L. Barber of
Wauseon, Ohio, was the leading spirit
in the organization of the Central
Home Telephone Company as well as
quite a number of other Independent
telephone companies, including the
Alabama Long Distance Company,
which has been wound up by a re-
ceiver.

MO SECURITY HOLDERS OF
INDEPENDENT COMPANY.

Louisville KY, March 15.-Holders
of the bonds of the Central Home
Telephone Company are to receive
1905 per cent on the face value of the
bonds and 1905 per cent on the inter
est on the matured coupons from the
date of maturity. This announce
ment is made by Col J. D. Powers, the
special master in the case.
1t practically winds up the affairs
of the company and there will be nc
further payments to the holders of the
bonds outside of the bondholders
pool.
The company has outstanding 49,,
$4,000 first gold per cent bonds dat
ed January /. 1906. Interest was de
faulted on the bonds on July 1, 1908
and in the fall of that year a receiv'
err was appointed by-t- ! United States
Circuit Court at Covington. Col J. ID
Powers was named receiver.
The company was sold at public
auction in Louisville, December 1, last
year, and was bought in by e. H
Cady of Toledo, representing the
bondholders' committee, the other
members of the committee being e. j.
MarSnall anu II. Is. Crane, VI IoieuO'
and George Winslow, of Carrolton,
KY. The price brought was $250,000,
and only one bid was made. Nearly
all the bonds were deposited with this
committee and the depository for the
bonds was the Ohio Savings Bank and
Trust Company, of Toledo, Ohio.
1t is said TO be the intention of the
bondholders committee to reorganize
the property and in this connection 1t
nas been rumored that the firm of }.
P. Morgan G Co., will figure and that
eventually all the Independent lines in
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky and West
Virginia will be under the manage
ment of that firm. The Ohio and

"A MAN is AS OLD AS HE FEELS"

Is an old saying, but nevertheless
true. When the arteries begin to

the blood vessels is destroyed and the

Keep the blood rich and pure and
the circulation good by supplying to
it Iron and other necessary elements

Berlin, Mar. 7.-Serious conflicts

cities of Prussia Sunday against the

various parts of the city The chief
of police of Berlin. fearing danger
from the assembly of so many thou

forbade a demonstration there. But
nounced that the manifestations would
be held in spite of the order of pro-

SAYS PENDLETON IS
BEST TOWN IN STATE

That Pendleton is the best town In
oregon today and that its chances
for the future are brighter than those
of any other in the state is the opin-
ion of Dr. H. Whitney, formerly OF
Holyoke. Massachusetts, who has
opened offices in the Smith Crawford
building. Before deciding to locate
in Pendleton. DIR. and Mrs Whitney
visited every city and town of conse-
quence in the state and after a care
full investigation of the conditions In
each decided that this city offered the
best evidence of business stability AT
present and the chances for substan-
tial growth in future.
DR.. Whitney said he found cities
where there is greater boom spirit
than is in evidence here but he fail
ed to find a single one where more
substantial business is transacted or
one that can exhibit a business street
comparing favorably with the Main
street of Pendleton.
DR.. and Mrs. Whitney arrived here
from Massachusetts, in January. How
ever they have just now decided to
make their permanent home in this
city. DR.. Whitney began the practice
of medicine in Massachusetts in 1904.

Of SALES DAYS IN PEND[ETON

pany's office. The question as to the
frequency of the sales will also be
settled next Saturday.
According to Mr.. Harrah and Mr.
Campbell, the members of the COM
mittee on arrangements, the sales day
play is a good thing for the city and
the farmers alike. They say the far
mer with one horse or one COW to
sell have just as good a market as
the man who has hundred. 1t saves
the buyer the expense of making a
trip to the country to see the owner
of certain stock and will therefore
put him in a position to pay more for
the stuff he buys. 1t will also draw
crowds OF intending purchasers and
those who have things to sell, to the
city to spend the day and do their
trading.
For that reason the farmers will CO.
operate with each other and with the
business men of the city and endeavor
to make the proposition a permanent
affair for the city. When held two
years ago the plan proved very pop
ular, but through mistakes made on
account of lack of experience the
sales days were not a success finan-
cially and were therefore finally aban-
doned. This time the management
will profit by former mistakes and
hopesto make II a success from every
standpoint.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-03-07

The members of the local farmers
union took an important step at their
meeting Saturday afternoon when they
decided to revive the general sales day
play which proved so popular here two
years ago. They are going to hold
the first sale next Saturday after
noon at the fair pavilion in this city
and IL 1t proves to be a success the
sales will be held regularly in the fu-
ture.
An experienced auctioneer, in the
person of Col. Eiffert of Walla Walla,
has been secured to do the auction
eering and the management of the
sales will be under the direction Of
DR.. w. r. Campbell and w. w. Har-
rah as a special committee and James
Johns as clerk. All kinds Of stock,
all kinds of farm implements and
machinery and in fact everything that
anyone may have to sell, can be list
ed and sold to the highest bidder at
the time of the sale.
The success or failure Of this first
sale will determine whether the plan
will be continued or abandoned. For
that reason the farmers and those liv-
ing In the city who have anything to
sell are urged to list 1t this week. or
before Saturday at 1 o'clock with the

LADIES OBJECT To PLAN FOR
CANINE CELLAR TOO BRUTAL

The dog troubles of the mayor, the
police and the members of the po-
lice committee are not to be ended
by the employment of a professional
dog catcher and the construction of
an underground cellar in which to
place the captive animals until the
time arrives for their execution. If
the above named city officials thought
they we're to thus easily solve the
problem with which they have been
wrestling for years, they have anoth-
er thought or two to think. Yes, in
deed. They may be able to ease their
own consciences by dumping the dogs
into a cellar where the noise of their
fighting could not reach the outer
world, but they failed to reckon with
the more susceptible consciences Of
the women of the city.
~ meeting of the civic leagle held
Saturday afternoon it was decided
that steps should be taken to prevent
such q cruel program being carried
out. A committee was therefore ap-
pointed to call upon the mayor i'm
mediately and make known the wish
es of the league in the matter and to
inform tina official that II their wish
es are disregarded that the power OF

the humane society will be invoked
to put a stop to what they consider
a disgraceful proceeding.
The women say that If the dogs are
dumped promiscuously into a COM
mon inclosure that a continuous dog
fighting performance will result. that
the CANNES will tear themselves to
pieces and kill each other. Aside
from the fact that dogs to be re-
deemed will thus be in danger OF be-
ing badly disfigured for life, the wo-
men say this will be most inhuman
way of dealing with the situation.
But believing that ii is not right
to criticise without being able to sug-
gest way to remedy the evil COM
planned Of they recommend that a
house be built where the dogs could
be segregated and kept in box stalls
or chained up so they could not get
together. They say the extra expense
would be insignificant and that the
beneficial results accruing would
more than compensate for the extra
cost and trouble.
March l markes the commence
ment Of the dog catching season and
it is probable that the recommended
tions OF the women will be acted up
on before that day arrives

Jere r. Lillis millionaire local bank
er, in his home when he arrived un-
expectedly at an early hour Sunday,
John p. Cudahy, a wealthy packer
and son of Michael Cudahy, the Chi
cago millionaire, is alleged to have

Neighbors heard Lillis screaming
and groaning in the Cudahy house.
and they called the Westport police
station. 1t was n woman who called.
Her identity has not been established.
"a man is being murdered in the
Cudahy home. Send an officer there
at once" she screamed.
Ten minutes later Patrolman Brian
Underwood hurried to the Cudahy
home, which is at 36th and Walnut
streets, in the most fashionable resi-
dence section of the city. The front
door was open so he did not ring the
door bell. Stepping into the hall he
heard screams. Then came groans
and cries for mercy.
Underwood followed the sound and
pushed the door open and entered
cautiously.
Three men were In the room. Pros
trate on the floor lay Lillis, half nude
and bound with a rope. His lower
limbs were bare. Above him stood
Cudahy. He was in correct evening
dress, except that he wore no coat,
his sleeves were rolled up. Blood was
on his hands. At his side stood the
