Phillips, the Liverpool inventor-engi-
neer, will attempt a demonstration in

Phillips recently gave a demonstra-
tion with a 20-foot Zeppelin arship
and showed his ability to raise, lower
drive, stop and turn it at will by the
manipulation of the keyboard of a
transmitter. Phillips claims the prin-

Berlin, July IA case OF badly
twisted wires seems the only explain
alton of Yesterdays tempest resulting
from Germany's attitude towards the
United States in the Madriz letter IN
cident. 1t seems the trouble hinged
entirely on the mistake of the Ger
man foreign office in jumping TO the
conclusion that the state department
published the kaiser's letter to Mad
riz. endorsing his election. When the
German officials had exploded pre-
maturely and had found out that
Washington had not published the let
ter, they did a rapid right about face.
Yesterday the foreign department
gave TO the United Press two state
ments one of which said Germany
refused To recognize any right cn the
part of the United States to supervise
her diplomatic relation with any
country or South American republic.
1t amounted to throwing down the
gauntlet. In the same evening they
denied this in a third statement. The
third was like the first conciliatory.
German papers, inspired by the
government, followed suit and sub
situated pacifying articles for tnetr
earlier cauStic ones.

Gilliland TO Run.

From present indications County
Judge Gillliand will capture the nom
ination of the republican party for re-
election, while James Johns is being
groomed by his democratic friends to
make the race against him.
County Treasurer Bradley and iSher-
if 4. ID. Taylor seem to be the most
fortunate of the present office hold
ers for it seems that they are to have
no opposition in their own or from
the opposition party. Though Taylor
is a democrat, the county's big re-
publican majority has never caused
him any serious inconvenience and II
liz believed there will be no oppo-
sition to his reelection. Represen-
tative L. l.. Mann has been spoken of
as a republican candidate but friends
who are close to him declare the big
farmer will not accept the nomination
and would not have the office if it
were handed to him on a silver tray.
If Commissioner Lee is not to run
again, his office is one that has not
~ developed candidate. With
Walker representing the west end of
the county and Judge Gilliland repre-
senting Pendleton and the south end,

Umatilla county's political pot is at
last beginning to simmer, though the
boiling point will probably not be
reached for some time. So far as
could be ascertained this afternoon,
every one of the present officer hold
ers with possibly one exception is
to be a candidate for reelection. The
one possible exception is Commission
er H. B. Lee of Milton. 1t is under
stood that his office has proved bur-
densome to him ana that he will not
again be a candidate.
County Clerk Sailing announced this
afternoon that he would go before the
republican electors as a candidate for
denomination for hiss OFFICE, while
County Recorder Hendley admitted
that his aspirations tended toward re-
election
Up to the present time no other re-
publican has been brave enough to
announce himself as a candidate for
the office which Sailing has now held
for two terms. Among the demo-
Gratis, w d. Chamberlain, who for
merly held the office, is being talked
OF but he has not yet announced MS
candidacy.
Hendley is not to have absolutely
clear sailing for the republican nom-
nation, according to present plans
Roy Ritner who was calendar clerk
for the last Legislature. is said to have
had his eye on Hendleys position for
some time and had laid his plans to
capture the assembly nomination. No
county assembly was held, however
and therefore there was no nomina-
ton to be captured. Whether he viii

election remains to be seen. There Is
one other candidate in the field, ac-
cording to rumor. and that is Benja-
min S. Burroughs.
The democrats seem to be willing
to concede this office to the repub-
licans. for so far not single mem
ber of the "unterrified" band has lift
ed up his voice in an effort to even
gain the support of his party for the
nomination.
