Teheran, Persia, Dec. IA bitter
anti-Russian demonstration today
followed the action of parliament in
refusing TO agree to Russia's ultima
tum. demanding the expulsion of
Morgan Shustei, the American, who
is treasurer general of Persia.
1t is believed this is a forerunner of
grave eventualities.
There have been repeated attempts
to assassnate Shuster. whose sup
porters declare that Russia has plac-
ed a price on his head
Shuster today admitted that several
attempts hal failed owing to the
alertness OF his guards.
Opposition to his scheme for the
reorganization of Persia by both Eng
lish and Russian agents caused Shus-
ter to present his resignation, accord
ing to report. This was however
officially denied.
1t followed the refusal of the Per-
sian parliament to eXpel him from
the country, as England and Russia
demanded.
He beneves England and Russia
are deterined to partition Persia and
he could not reorganze the monetary
system effectively against such OPP
position.

WASHINGTON MAN FOLLOWS RUNAWAY
DAUGHTERS HERE AND LOSES TRAIL

Searching for his two daughters,
Nettie and Ivy, aged Is and 16, who
ran away from their home at Central
it last Monday. because they feared
he would force them to live on a
farm, W. NJ. Johnson arrived in the
city this morning and has enlisted
the services of the officers in his
quest. The girls are known to have
arrived in Pendleton Tuesday and
were seen on the streets as late as 5
o'clock yesterday but all efforts to
trace them since then have failed.
The two girls were high school
students at Centralia when their
father purchased a farm near that
city and moved on to il. Though he
left his daughters in the city and de-
c'ares he intended to keep them there
until they had finished their prepara-
tory education they became alarmed
lest he should force them to take up
re esidence with him and secretly left
! home.

Split Among Members to Be
Patched by President if
Possible.
MAY URGE BILL HE VETOED
Expects 10 Submit Report of Inyesti-
gators With Message to Congress
Next Wcck-DemOcrat Are Pre-
pairing to Severely Ignore 1t.

Washington, D. c., Dec. Follow
ing reports of a split among members
of the tariff board, President Taft
today summoned Henry Emery and
Alvin Sanders, board members. to talk
of the the situation with them. He
postponed a cabinet meeting for ii.
1t is believed that President Taft
will gain information from both, for
the basis of a special wool message to
congress, without waiting for the
boards formal report.
1t is considered significant that
Reynolds, of the board, who favors
protective tariff, was not present
while Sanders and Emery urge tar
if for revenue only, along the lines
Of the democratic bills which Presi-
dent Taft vetoed.
1t is expected that Mr.. Taft will
propose a big reduction in the wool
tariff.
This may be for the purpose OF
striking a balance between the pro-
tectioni>ts and democrats The cab
met will discuss the matter this af-
ternoon.
President Taft expects to submit
the report of the tariff board, which
will be completed this week, with his
message to congress.
The determination of the demo-
/ crate leaders to ignore the report was
made evident today when Congress
man Underwood. democratic leader,
announced his intention of calling the
ways and means committee together
Immediately after congress meets.
"Well give the president a rea-
sonable time to submit the report,
( said Underwood. "and if it is not then
. in we will proceed with an investiga-
4 ton"
( Emery and Sanders, after the con-
ference, denied that there were "any
serious differences" among the mem
/ bers of the tariff board.
1t was announced that president
! Taft will send the report of the tariff
board to congress December IL. He
Z will also send a special message.
President Taft this afternoon denied
that, any split had occurred on the
tariff board. He said the boards re-
port would be facts and figures, with
| out recommendations,

Los Angeles, Dec 1.-For an hour
before court convened this afternoon

I'VE have sought every loophole,
but recently I discovered all the evil

PRESIDENT NOW SEES
MANY OF HIS ERRORS

New York, Dec. Admitting that
he would do some things differently
ii he had them to do again President
Taft has given the outlook an inter
view. He claims that much of the
opposition he has encountered came
from members of his own party in
congress.
Regarding his famous Winona
speech, in which he declared the
Payne-Aldrich tariff the best ever
framed he said he would have modi-
fled it to make it comparative instead
of superlative.
He said: 81 have been long convinc-
cd that we're OVERRIDING the tariff

Eastern Oregon Football
Championship CIinched by
Score of 49 to 0.
CROSS GOAL LINE AT WILL
Although Having Advantage i'm
Weight, Visitors Are at Mercy OF
PendIcton High School Team at All
Timcs-Showing Was Miserable.

Effectually silencing the dispute
over comparative claims to the east
ern oregon championship and reduc-
ing the standardization of the Hepp-
ner> high school players to a negative
quantity, the speedy team of the PEN
dleton high school yesterday after
noon administered an unmerciful
drubbing to the Morrow county boys,
winning the game by the overbalanc-
ed score of 49 to 0. The local players
crossed their opponents goal line al
most at will and victory was an as
sured portion from the first down.
The showing of the Heppner boys
was a miserable one in view of the
fact that they had contested Pendle-
tons claim to the championship in
n voice heard all over the state. They
showed a woeful lack of knowledge
of the rudiments of the game, and
though larger than the local lads,
they were completely at the mercy
of the latter at all times.
Visitors Are Bewildered.
The p IL. S. boys started the game
with a rush and from first to last
played the new style of game, mysti-
fying the visitors by their rapid sue
cession of forward passes and criss-
crosses. Indeed, Pendleton has never
before seen such an exhibition OF the
open style play Time after time
Captain Hinderman hurled the inflat-
ed plgskin with remarkable precision
into the waiting arms of Jordan, Fee
or Mcdonald and these latter would
rave toward the goal for big gains be-
fore being downed. on one occasion
after Pendleton had received the pail
near her own goal line from the kick
off, four successive forward passes
were executed for touchdown.
The Heppner boys seemed totally
unable to fathom the formations
which resulted in these gains and al
lowed the same play to be worked
again and again.
First Score i'm 9 Minutes.
Pendleton's first touchdown came
after two minutes of play, Upon re-
ceiving the ball from the kickoff, two
forward passes, Hinderman to jon
dan and Hinderman to Houser, tooR
the pigskin to the visitors 20-yaro
line Two bucks by Hinderman plac'
ed the ball but few feet from the
goal line and Houser carried 1t over
Fee missed goal.
Pendeton then kicked off and the
Heppner fullback, after returning tht
ball twenty yards, dropped 1t ano
Hampton fell on it. Houser theI
made a sensational thirty-five yarc
run and was on the three yard line
when downed Jordan and Hinder
man easily bucking 1t over for the
second score. Fee kicked goal.
Hcppncr's Only Chance.
In the next few minutes, by virtue
OF holding the Pendleton team To-
downs the only time in the game, the
recovery of a punt and a gain
twenty yards on one play, the Hepp
ner lads had their only opportunit!
to score They attempted to plac'

whistle for the first quarter blew.
Score, Pendleton II, Heppner 0.
The remainder of the quarters were
repetitions of the first with the eX-
ception that the Morrow stalwarts
never got in sight of their opponents,
goal. Pendleton replaced several OF
her regular players with sub stitutes'
but the change did not stop their on
slaught. Touchdown after touchdown
was made until the spectators lost
count on the score. At the end of the
first half the local boys had increased
their score to 81, the third quarter
netted II more points and when the
final whistle blew the rooters counted
40.
Attendance at the gome was good
but most of the spectators were dis
appointed over the poor showing
made by the visiting team. However,
