Washington, Feb. 3.-Following
the failure of President Taft to in
duce the insurgents to compromise
on the house rules and the threat
by Speaker Cannon that he would re-
sign the speakership if he was re-
moved from membership on the
rules committee, the war between
the insurgents and the regulars is
more bitter than ever today.
I'VE will not compromise unless
it means that the speaker is re-
moved from the rules committee"
declared the insurgents to the presi-
dent.
Cannon Threatens.
'I will resign the speakership If
| am taken from the rules commit
tee," said Cannon to the president.
Taft then urged that the insurgents
agree to a compromise that would
not require the removal of Cannon
from the committee and the insur-
gents replied:
Cannon must go or we absolute
ly will not compromise under any
circumstances. We will support all
the Taft legislation that we consider
good, but we will not enter eau
GUS" is the final ultimatum of the
insurgents today. The developments
which have followed thick and fast
since Monday. put the warfare
against Cannon forward in more
open manner than ever before and
presents it as one of the most i'm
portant and immediate problems OF
the present session of congress.
If senatorial resolutions will bring
it about, the people of the United
States will know why the cost of liv-
ing has increased, as Senator Lodge
today presented the third proposal
for an investigation. The Lodge
resolution was referred to the finance
committee. A similar resolution, Of
fered by Senator Elkins, is now be-
fore the committee on contingent ex'
penses.
The resolution introduced by Sen
ator McCumber is being considered
by the agricultural committee. All
three resolutions ask for the same
thing. They refer to the present
complaint throughout the nation be-
cause of the cost of the necessities
of life and provide for an investiga-
ton by congress to determine the
why and wherefore of it.

LOWELL FIGHTS THE ASSEMBLY,
Continued from page ~

only way to administer such rebuke
is to defeat at the primaries on Sep
tember "a the men who countenanced
its purposes by seeking it's endorse
ment. 1t is not a question of men,
but of principle. Let me express the
hope, therefore, that the republican
voters who stand with Roosevelt, and
believe in a direct primary free and
untrammeled, will defeat at the pri-
maries the political assembly ticket,
which is Jay Bowerman for governor,
Ralph Hoyt for state treasurer, Frank
w. Benson for secretary of state, J..
n. Hart for attorney general, w J..
Clark for state printer, and w. R..
Ellis for congress. Let US stand to-
gether for government by all the peo-
pie, not by the few, and nominate
Grant B. Dimick for governor, Thorn
as B. Kay for state treasurer, G. Win
gate for secretary Of state, A. M.
Crawford for attorney general, w. S.
Duniway for state printer, and either
Lafferty or Reed for congress, as the
| developments in the next ten days
demonstrate which of the two may be
| the stronger.
The hope of the assembly people
is in divided opposition in the con-
test for governor and congressman.
We ought to have common sense
enough to dissipate that hope by vot-
| ing together
Respectfully,
STEPHEN A. LOWELL.

ERROR IN MULTIPLICATION
MEANS MONEY TO OFFICER

Washington.-An Intellectual effort
by a commissary officer in the army
to multiply 420 by 8 has caused some
extra work for officials of the war
and treasury departments. The COM
missary officer, who has charge of
food supplies, sold 420 bottles of to-
mato catsup at Is cents bottle and
entered the amount in his accounts
as $500. When his reports reached
the auditor of the war department
the keen eye of an alert clerk hit on
the catsup item. He reached for PEN
Gil and paper wrote Is under $40 and
by a careful mathematical operation
proved that the receipts of the gov
ernment for the catsup were, in fact,
$63. The error was referred to the
comptroller of the treasury who ruled
that the difference of s56.70 should
be charged against the officer.

AIRMEN OBJECT TO RULES.
Say German Regulations Will Block
The Art.

The Art.
Berlin.-Strong indignation Is ex-
pressed by German flying men at the
police regulations for aeroplanists is
sued in a special edition OF the Ber-
lin Gazetteer by the Oberpdaisdent of
the mark of Bradenburg.
Herr Wienczier, who made a stri-
king flight says: These regulations
are absurd. The police OF Germany
seem TO be trying to do all then can
to hinder the progress of airmanship.
We intend to send a protest to the
Oberprasident, and II that fails the
world may see the first strike Of air
men.
Take the regulations in turn. II
we are to be fined three pounds every
time the wind blows us across the
limits OF an aerdrome we might as
well give up flying. With regard to
the rare flights made over towns no
one would dream of making them un-
less he was an expert airman, tho
weather conditions perfect, and tho
engine working faultlessly. Besides,
how can the police catch us when we
are sailing over a village at the
height of 1000 feet? It would test
even the conscience OF a motor-trap
policemen to identify us. I approve
o: the requirement for a pilot GER
tificate for every one giving exhi-
bition flights, but aviation is not yet
| advanced enough for a code OF rules
to be shaped for it. Everything de-
pends on the man. What is safe for
one is not safe for another.

FOR 1911. JULY TO BE
STORMY, AUGUST COLD

London.-Grumblers at the stormy
summer will receive little comfort
| from Old Moore, whose predictions
| for 1911 have just been published.
All hope of wearing up this summers
| unwanted finery may, according to
the old-esta blished prophet. be aban-
doned until 1912 comes around. For,
while he declares enthusiastically
that next June will be fine" he goes
on to say that July will be "unusu-
ally stormy" and August "cold and
disappointing"
The almanac appears in the old IA

This is not the only hint OF war.

ABDUL HAMID WANTED
TO SEE FOR HIMSELF

Constantinople.-A remarkable law
case is just now arousing a great deal
of public interest, the facts which
have given rise to the action dating
back to the palmy days Of Sultan Abb
dull Hamid.
According to the statements now
made, while the ex-sultan was still in
power one of his favorite daughters
was found to be suffering from ap-
pendicitis and an operation was de-
clared to be imperative. The sultan,
however, was unwilling to entrust his
daughter to the mercy Of his physi-
clans and surgeons in such an extrem-
ity without first assuring himself OF
their ability to perform the operation
successfully, and he accordingly de-
manded that they should operate first
in his presence, on someone else.
Seeing that his majesty was obdur-
ate, the doctors promptly went In
search OF victim, and finding at the
Italian hospital a young girl, Josefa
Schneider, who had just been dis
charged after an illness, they drove
her off to the imperial palace despite
her objections, and carried her into
a room specially prepared for the OPP
Grafton and removed her appendix, the
sultan calmly watching the proceed
ings. The operation proved quite sue
cessful and the patient recovered and
was sent home.
Satisfied that the doctors knew
their business, the sultan then per-
mitted them to operate on his dau-
| ghter, who also recovered and was
completely cured.
Josefa Schneider is now suing the
doctors concerned for damages.

NO SHEEP BUYERS
N LOCAL FIELD
SHIPPING SEASON AT HAND
BUT NO SIGN OF ACTIVITY
Wool Producers Of County Wonder
ing What 70 Do With Surplus stock
-Unussal State Of Affairs Exists.

Though the month for sheep ship
ping has arrived, not an eastern or
middle western buyer has yet appear
ed in the local field. Umatilla coun-
~ producers OF wool and mutton are
therefore wondering what they are
TO do with their surplus stock.
1t has always been customary for
local sheepmen to thin out their
flocks for winter. during the month
Of September. They are always able
10 hold more sheep during the sum-
mer than they wish to carry through
the winter and for that reason they
sell off all their surplus lambs and
old sheep during this month.
In past seasons, hardly without ex-
seption, there have been plenty of
buyers in the field who were anxious
TO pick up this surplus stock, ship it
to the Mississippi valley states, feed a
few weeks or months, as the case
might be, and then dispose of their
purchases in Chicago, Kansas City
and the other beef and mutton CEN
ters. This year, the drouth which has
predominated in most of the middle
SIdACs lio6 oPPdlOil
mated the prospects of early feeding
grounds and has caused the shippers
to change their usual plans.
Fortunately for the local growers
last falls prices, especially for lambs
were especially good and they sold
off everything they though they could
spare. They were therefore not hii
as hard by the severe winter as they
otherwise would have been. This
year there is an abundance Of hay
and the growers will be in a position
to carry over a larger number OF
sheep if it should become necessary
Though the buyers may appear later
it is hardly probable that prices will
be as good this fall as they were last.
Lambs which brought $3.50 per head
last September are now said to be
worth not more than $3.50. 1t is
possible though that the arrival OF
the eastern buyers will be the sig
nal for an increase in prices.

MASCAGNI'S NEW OPERA
GETS HIM INTO TROUBLE

Paris.-Ralph Edmunds, represent
ing the Liebler company of New York
left today for Italy, where he is to
complete arrangements for the trans,
port of the Italian Opera company
which will produce Mascagni's new
opera "Isobep at the New Theatre In
New York some time in October.
Mascagni is now at Piacenza with
Illica, the author of his dramatic ver-
sion of Lady Godiva. Bessie Abbott,
the prima donna who will create the
role. is with them working up her
part under Mascagni's direction. The
famous composer is going to New
York and will conduct the first per-
formance. Meanwhile the italian
press and the Italian musicians are
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-09-12

UP in arms. They are very indignant
that Mascagni should allow the first
performance Of his opera to be given
In New York.
Heretofore all of his operas have
been brought out in Rome. What adds
to the bitterness of the quarrel is
that it is understood Mascagni had
promised this new opera for the ex-
hibition which celebrates the anni-
versary of Italian independence to be
held in Rome in the spring of 1911.
Immense influence has been brought
to bear on Mascagni to have him
break his American contract. Madame
Mascagni, who has no pleasant mem.
ories of her last trip to America, is
reluctant to have him go. The italian
press accuses the composer Of lack
of patriotism in selling his opera to
American money mongers instead OF
reserving it to add to the triumph oil
the Italian celebration next spring
The king has been appealed to, it is
said, and the italian court is using
all its influence to keep Mascagni
from giving his opera to New York
AS Mascagni holds the official positi.
on of court musician the king has a
right to his services.
One of the almost certain results
OF the New York production oi
'Isobel' will be that Mascagni will
have to give up this position.
Meanwhile the company is practic.
ally complete. With the exception Of
Bessie Abbott it is to be entirely Ital
ian. Edmunds has also arranged with
Puccini for a new opera based on ar
American story. The heroine will b,
young Indian girl and the scenes
will be laid in old California in tn,
Mission days.

AGED WOMAN BEGGAR
HAS FORTUNE HIDDEN

Paris.-An old beggar named Des-
camps died a few days ago of star
vation. She was buried by the as
sistance publique, and her neighbors
subscribed to buy a wreath. After
the funeral the miserable room occu-
pied by the old woman in the Rue
Villin was entered ana when the bed
was moved preparatory to disinfec-
tion-for the room was in a disgust
ing state-a number of gold coins
rolled to the floor Then it was found
that the old woman, who for years
had scraped out a miserable existence
by begging and a small allowance
from the public assistance, had a little
fortune Of about s2Soo. Such cases
are strikingly frequent in France.
