tend the Commercial clubs junketting

cision was reached at the weekly club

mously to extend them an invitation
to participate in the trip.
At the luncheon today many sub
jects of interest were discussed, the
chief topics being the census and the
proposed division of the county. The
action taken with reference to the
census is covered elsewhere in this
issue.

DEFENSE PLAYS CARDS.
DR.. Hyde Seeks to Prove Poison Was
Injected Into Dead Body,

Kansas City, April 29.-Testimony
tending to prove the casket of the
late Colonel Thomas Swope was rifled
and the body tampered with. was the
feature of the trial of DR. Hyde to-
day. r. d. Mitchell. the undertaken,
testified the coffin was fastened Sc
curely by him just before the funeral
The defense claims the body was ta-
ken from the vault and poison in
jected into it.
Half a dozen undertakers and as
sistants and attendants at the ceme-
terry where Swope was buried. were
called to the stand today. They gave
evidence tending to disprove the the
ory that poison was injected into
Swope's body after death.
A mild sensation was created in
court when II was learned the wife
of A. w Beebee, one of the jurors,
be dying. Death seems to hover over
the Hyde case.
The testimony took a turn in favor
of the defense today when Leonora
Cooperidge testified that typhoid had
broken out in the cabin occupied by
negro relatives of one of the Swope
servants. The disease appeared about
demic in the Swope home, it was al
legged
The testimony raised the possibility
that Swope was infected through the
negro servants.

READY FOR TEST OF
LOCAL OPTION LAW

The stipuations have been filed and
all is now in readiness for the trial
of the case which is to test the local
option law in so far as it applies to
Umatilla county. The fight is to be
made on the ground that the county
court had not been officially notified
of the result of the election and that
the ensuing prohibition order was
therefore invalid.
The case against Thomas Murrel
who was one of the large number re-
Gently indicted, is the one that has
been taken for a test. 1t is agreed by
both sides that he did sell beer con-
tanning more than four per cent al
cohol, but it is denied by Murrell and
his attorneys that he violated any law,
giving the reasons as alleged above
for their contention that there was
no local option law in this county to
violate.
The dates for the argument of the
case have not yet been set but prob
ably will be agreed upon this week.

ATHENA AND WESTON
LOYAL TO UMAT|LLA
SENTIMENT UNANIMOUSLY
AGAINST COUNTY DIVISION
business Men and Community Leaders
DenOunce East End Scheme-Pro-
posed boundaries Regarded as Ri
diculous.

That the people of Athena and
Weston do not want to see Umatilla
county divided and will hotly oppose
the scheme of the Milton Freewater
divisionists is plain. Yesterday a
staff representative Of the East Ore
gonian visited in both Athena and
Weston. Though no particular effort
was made to ascertain the sentiment
upon the subject of county division
voluntary expressions on the part of
prominent men in both towns showed
against division.
That the people of Athena and
neighboring country have always op-
posed county division and will do so
again was declared by Col Fred Boyd
editor of the Athena Press. Appar-
emily he knew whereof he spoke, be-
cause similar declarations were made
during the day by all the leading
business and professional men of the
city. In Athena the idea of forming
a new county with the boundaries
proposed by the Miltonites is regard
ed as ridiculous This for the reason
that the greater part of the territory
proposed for the new county has
nothing in common with Milton and
does not desire to be included in a
county with Milton as the county
seat.
At Weston the sentiment was found
to be identical with that at Athena.
There are no friends of division in
Weston. at least not among the influ-
entail people of that burg. Clark
Wood, publisher Of the Weston Lead
er, the official voice of the people OF
Weston and vicinity. is feminist
the scheme He can see no good in
the plan, but plenty of harm. The
same view is taken by all the other
business leaders of Weston This is
especially true of the normal school
advocates in Weston and that class
includes practically all of Weston
The normal school serves as bond
of friendship between Weston and
Pendleton because most Pendleton
people have always been staunch for
the school and Pendleton influence is
counted upon to assist in the initia-
tive fight in behalf Of the school this
fall.

ber of emigrants for any year of the
