a suit brought to adjudicate a dispute
over water rights in Baker county.
An important decision was handed
down by the court this morning when
II dismissed the appeal in the case Of
the Grande Ronde Electric company
against the Farmers G. Traders Ma
tional Bank of La Grande. This case
was submitted yesterday on a motion
to dismiss the appeal and the motion

Other cases which were argued and
submitted yesterday were those of G.
W. Slade and T. w. Davis versus The
Utah Construction company, The
state of Oregon versus Ben Hinton
and the case of r. r. Sitz versus a. 5.

TURKS HELP REFUGEES
WHO FLEE FROM HOME,

Constantinople.-A to Off
cal statistics some $500 Moslem and
Jewish immigrants from Russia. Bos-
MIA, Rumania and the Balkan states
have arrived at Constantinople and
Salonika during the last 12 months
or these, 2400 have been or are be-
ing provided with lands in the Euro
pean provinces.
Some have been settled on crown
lands near Yenidje Vardar and near
the Greek frontier, in southern Epi-
rus, and the government has recent
ly spent 100000 on the purchase of
lands in Tikvesh, Strumnitze, Kilkitch
Langaza and Katerina dstricts-the
first three Bulgarian, the last Greek
centers-which are to be divided
among Bosniak 'Munadjirs."
A credit for s1,000,000 has been
opened by the government for the
purpose of assisting Moslem and Jew
ish immigrants, but when 1t is re-
membered that at least 800 will have
to be spent on each family of colon
lists before 1t becomes self-supporting.
1t will be realized that to establish a
sufficient number of Moslems and
Jews in Macedonia to alter the racial
balance of power" will require the
expenditure of more money than the
Ottoman government is likely to be
able to afford for many years to come.

Cincinnati, May 3.-President Taft
came home" to Cincinnati today de-
termined for a good time and to for
get politics. Despite the fact that the
railroad regulation bill, his pet, had
been riddled and shredded last night
by a conference of the republican reg
ulars of the senate, Taft smiled today.
He sent a batch of kilograms td poll
ticians at Washington, asking them to
fight for the remnants of the bill and
then drove home with Brother Char
ley" The president said; 1--WE will
make a fight for the bill though"
President Taft ended his two days
stay in Pittsburg with speech at the
Grant day dinner of the Americus
club last night in which he dealt al
most wholly with the foreign affairs
of the nation. The president paid n
striking tribute to the secretary of
state, Mr.. Knox, who was present. He
vigorously defended and justified the
socretary's Nicaraguan policy and
rayed those who invented the phrase
dollar diplomacy"

Washington. d, c., May 3.-The re-
publican house machine leaders were
worried today on account of Congress
man Harrison's resorution presented
yesterday calling upon Attorney Cen
eral Wickershap for papers and data
requested by Attorney Brandels be-
fore the Balllnger investigation COM
mittee which the committee refused
to ask Wickersham to furnish. If the
resolution comes to the floor, as is
likely, II means a fight in which the
democrats would declare the COM
mittee has been trying to shield the
attorney general.
Some of the regular leaders are
disgruntled at the committees action.
One scored the committee and said
Its action puts the republicans on
the defensive, and il is thousand
times better not to give anyone a
chance to shield anyone" The lead
ers think the resolution presented
will give the democrats a chance to
manufacture campaign material for
the congressional election this fall.

BY Telegraph to The TribCne-l
Chicago, Sept. 2s.-George ". Patten.
brother of James A. Patten and ar partner
Of the former wheat operator, died at the
home of his brother in Evanston tonight
His death was caused by tuberculosis. from
which he had suffered for twenty years.
Mr.. Patterns physical condition was such
that during the summer he found it neces-
sary to give UP his brokerage business. The
firm of Patten Brothers then retired from
activity in brokerage circles in Chicago
James A. Patten subsequently declared that
he had retired in order 10 be with his
brother as much as possible, fearing that
his death was only a matter OF a few
weeks
George W. Patten had figured largely in
the grain business of Chicago and the Mid
die West for twenty years. He was born
in Dekalb County. III, and came to CHI
cago in 1871 In 1891 he went TO Colorado.
and it was thought that the disease that
caused his death had been completely
eradicated. In 1899 he re-entered business
and the finn OF Patten Brothers was es-
tablished. Since that time he had made
his home with his brother
