will want to spend the evening and
then return home on the 1890.
\ special train will also leave
Walla Walla at 10 o'clock each morn
ing and returning will leave Pendle-
ton at 10:S0 each evening.

Baker City local, however, will be held
here until $50 each evening, giving
the visitors from Baker, La Grande

towns who can only have one day at
the Roundup, a chance to see the
whole afternoon performance.

Chief Executive VIII Withdraw From
Field to Give Strenuous Colonel

VIII Not Take up Arms Against
Teddy no Matter What the Latter
DOes-Wil Continue "SOft Pedal'
Policy to End of His Term.

Beverly, Sept. 15.-President Taft
is convinced that Colonel Roosevelt
is planning to be the presidential can
ddate in 1912 and he is determined to
give the colonel a clear field. The
president does not want a second term.
This information came from an au-
thoritative source. 1t is stated that
Taft will not move against Roosevelt
no matter what tactics the latter may
adopt He regards the colonels ac-
tivity sorrowfully not angrily. The
president has been advised that his
administration has not been advertised
properly and a press agent has been
recommended. Taft is not convinced
however so "the soft pedar policy
will probably obtain till the end of
his term.

Poindexter Is Pleased.

Spokane, Sept. 15.-When shown
President Taft's Beverly letter
today, Miles Poindexter expressed
pleasure at the sudden change of the
Administrations attitude and said: II
am glad the president is endeavoring
to harmonic the party OF course
success cannot be achieved in discord,
The republican party is progressive
and will relieve itself of reactionary
control. The effort to stifle independ-
ent thought and action by withhold
ing patronage was foredoomed al
ways to failure. The party will get
together under progressive leader

LEWISTON PLANS TO
IMPROVE HER STREETS

Lewiston, Idaho.--The city of Lew
iston is preparing to install improve
ments that will cost 100000. 1t is
conceded that two Improvement dis
tricts will be established by the coun-
Gil at once, and will include the curb
ing, grading and parking of the streets
in the residence district and the pro-
fitable installation Of hard surface
pavement along one of the principal
thoroughfares in the residence district
leading to Lewiston Orchards. This
will keep the street department en-

Beverly, Sept 15.-The long fight
between the progressives and the reg
ulas has ended, at least as far as the
administration is concerned. Every
effort to heal the widening breach be-
tween the factions will be made The
first step was taken by President Taft
who, in a letter addressed TO a poll
tician in Wisconsin, said that the pat
ronage previously denied insurgent
congressman and senators, will be re-
stored. This means the administra-
ton is ready to recognize the progress
sives as members of the party and
treat them with the same consider
alton. 1t is believed the restoration
OF patronage is merely an indication
of the administration politicians fear
that the split of the factions may bring
the democrats to success, so they are
anxious to heal the breach.
The letter says in part: The presi-
dent recognizes that in certain cases
feeling has been so bitter as to make
it difficult in some instances for fac
tions to come together and work FOR
loyalty to the party. He believes this
can be done. The president feels that
the value of federal patronage has
been greatly exaggerated and his re-
fusal to grant it has probably been
more useful to the men affected than
appointments would have been in the
preliminary skirmishes." The letter
continues. saying the president has
been willing in the interests of his
party to make certain discrimina-
tions" but has now concluded his duty
Is to treat all republican congressman
and senators alike.
The letter was signed by Secretary
Norton and endorsed by the presi-
dent Many republicans are inclined
to consider the letter a bid for the
leadership of the prograssives and
regards the epistle as the death knell
of standpattism.

HUMPHREYS HAS SLIGHT
MAJORITY OVER REVELLE

Seattle, Sept. 12.-The primary re-
turns today indicate that Congress
man Humphreys has won renomina-
tiontion over Revelle, the insurgent, in
the first congressional district, by a
narrow margin. The progressives
will not admit he is elected yet. More
complete returns will make but little
difference. Poindexter maintains his
lead of approximately $4,000 over his
opponent Burke and Ashton is far
outclassed.

London, Sept. 15.-The ra-v ,-7-inst

cording to Solicitor Newton the fa-
nous criminal barrister defending the
American. In a statement to the Uni
ted Press today, Newton said the at
tempts of the prosecution were RI

Chicago, Sept. 15.-George Fitz

United States sub-treasury who was

bond was furnished only after a de.
termined fight to have it reduced to
which Judge Lands would not accede.
Fitzgerald was arrested on a bench
| warrant on an Indictment returned
secretly by a federal grand jury,
February 1, 1910. Three days after
the indictment was secretly returned
and suppressed, on February 20 it was
announced that the statute of limi.
tations had operated to stop possible
criminal action in the peculiar case.
Coincident with this ruse by the au.
thorities, secret service men were de-
tailed to watch Fitzgerald contantly
and make an investigation OF the for
mer teller's financial interests and
affairs. Discoveries made by these
secret service men resulted in the
order for Fitzgerald's arrest
Marshal Eberstein, chief of special
agents of the department of justice,
and Walter Wainwright and ]. T.
| Buckner, arrested Fitzgerald at his
! insurance brokerage office on La
! Sale street just as the former SUBJ
treasury teller was leaving for his
home. Fitzgerald was first taken to
United States Marshal Hoy's office In
the federal building, where he was
searched, handcuffed and placed IN
cell. Fitzgerald objected to being
searched and for a few moments was
handled somewhat roughly by the
deputy marshals. After an hours i'm
prisonment, Fitzgerald was taken be-
fore Judge Kenesaw Landis. He was
formally arraigned and his bail fired
at $4,000. He was taken to the
county Jail, unable to give bail until
today.
The indictment against Fitzgerald
read in court specifies four counts.
Three charge embezzlement and the
fourth charges larceny. Under these
charges a maximum penalty Of three
years in the federal penitentiary or a
be imposed under the federal statutes.
Attaches of the district attorneys
office declared that since the strange
disappearance of the s175,000 from
the subtreasury, Fitzgerald has Done
the following things:
Organized the Illinois Car Manu-
featuring company with $50, 600
plant at Hammond, Ind.
Organized the Illinois Bolt Nut and
cago.
Dealt extensively in stocks and
bonds.
Moved from modest flat to a s10,-

burb of Chicago.

of the abuses then existing. This law
the machine element among the poll
ticans of the state now wish to de-
stroy because they can no longer
manipulate affairs. So they have de-
vised the assembly scheme.
Reading from the direct primary
law the speaker then showed that the
law specifically forbids the nomina-
ton of candidates in conventions such
as the one recently held in Portland.
He accused the assemblyites of being
without the law and also criticised
the state central committee for it's
efforts to favor the assembly nomi-
nees.
Old Legislative COrruptioin.
Speaking in behalf of the principle
represented by statement No. /, Sena-
tor Kay went at some length into de-
tails regarding how senators used to
be elected before the direct primary
law was passed. He told how many
delegations had once been secretly
sworn to support H. w. Corbett and
how A. s. Dresser OF Oregon City had
bolted a pledge he had made and for
which act he was rewarded by being
made receiver of the land office at
Oregon City. He also told the Incl
dent where the managers Of a sena-
torial aspirant had once given the
state house janitor $500 in bills with
which to bribe a legislator and how
the janitor had fled to California and
the managers had dared not prosecute
him. Such conditions as these he as
serted had brought about the adoption
of statement No. /.

nomination for governor was the

| stand half way between the stand of
the assembly and the direct primary
men. He also made facetious refer
ence to the fact that Judge Grant B.
Dimick could not come for the meet
| ing and cast the insinuation that the
East Oregonian was supporting Judge
Dimick on the assumption that II
nominated he would be the easiest
candidate for a democrat to defeat.
He concluded his remarks by criti-
csm OF Judge S. A. Lowell for the
latter's Efforts to have the direct pri-

This was the statement contained in
a letter received this morning by Sec
retary Fitz Gerald from Mayor Louis
B. Scholl of that town. He says they
are now engaged in preparing the ex-
hibit and assured the secretary that
it would be a credit to the county as
we'll as to the town which it is to rep
resent. This will be the first time that
Echo has ever had a distinctive ex-
hibit at the fair, though some of the
best specimens Of different products
have come from that end Of the

Premium Lists Ready.
Last year the premium lists were
sent out in advance and distributed
promiscuously throughout the coun-
try with the result that the supply
was exhausted long before the dates
for the fair arrived and many who
were interested were unable to obtain
copies. This year it was decided not
to waste the lists on those who were
not interested but to save them for
those who are. The lists are there
fore to be had upon request and can
be found at the office Of the secre-
tary in the fair pavilion.
Work on Booths Started.
The big pavilion is now entirely un-
der cover and some of those who are
to have booths this year have already
started the work Of preparation. They
are acting on the theory advanced by
Secretary Fitz Gerald that the more
time they have to prepare the better
booths they will have. The secretary
is therefore urging all those who can
to begin work on their booths as early
as possible as an extra effort is being
put forth this year to have every ex-
hibit in lace by noon Of the opening
day. -.
