WILL TEST LEGALITY OF
NEW COMPENSATION LAW

Spokane, Wash.-When the En-
ployers' Liability Commission of the
state of Washington is organized at
Olympia on June 8, an effort will
be made to test the legality Of the
new compensation law before the su-
preme court at the earliest date. c..
W. Clausen, state auditor, said in
making the foregoing announcement
N Spokane today that two plans have
been suggested to bring this about.
One is to have the auditor decline to
issue a warrant in payment of minor
supplies, thus forcing a writ Of man
date. The other is to have the La
bility companies and manufacturers
opposed TO the law petition for a
writ Of prohibition to prevent the IS
suance of the warrant. Mr.. Clausen
favors the last mentioned plan. Maui
rice Langthorne of Tacoma, author
Of the law, probably will assist the at
torney general in defending the stat
ute. The Washington law, creating a
state industrial insurance bureau, is
a new departure in America, and,
while many question its constitutions
atty, they concede it is far in ad-
vance of any similar measure yet
presented to the United States.

BUCKAROOES TAKE
GAME FROM MILTON
REORGANIZED TEAM
MAKES GREAT SHOWING
Final Count Is 13 TO 3-Pitcher Ber-
ger Allows Visitors Only One Mcasly
Single During the Game-Snooks
Good Catcher.

Pendleton's rejuvenated, reorgan-
lied and "regingerized' team yester-
won a glorious victory and the Mil
ton-Freewater aggregation was sent
home mournful and lamenting with
the remembrance of a 13 to 3 defeat
fresh in their minds. The strength
ened Buckarooes simply romped
away with the contest from the very
first of the first canto. They played
the great national game like veteran
%pillheavers and. when the end came,
there was no fan in Pendleton too
poor to do them reverence.
1t was a great lineup which Man
ager Nelson into the field yesterday
and it is safe to assert that IL such an
all star troupe of performers had
been maintained from the first, the
league rag would be fluttering in Pen
dleton breezes when the last game is
written into history.
Baker, who leaves today to join the
Boston Americans, was a Gibraltar
at the first sack and welded his stick
for a 800 percentage. And then that
new battery! In the words of the inn
mortal Bill Shakespeare, 1T was some
class" Berger on the mound carried
the visitors on his hip from first to
last, allowing only one dinky little
hit and sending fifteen batters back
to the bench after they had taken
their three swings. incidentally, 1t
might be mentioned that he secured
two hits, one of which was good for
three bags, out of three times at the
bat. Shocks is there with the big
nit. He has all the qualifications of
a first class catcher and the way he
digs the ball out of the dirt and his
peg to second won the fans at once,
for their patience had been sorely
tried in many games this season.
Nevins and Monroe. who held down
second and short RESPECTIVELY, are
valuable additions to the team, and

COMMISSIONERS OF SPOKANE
TEST LABOR DAY PLAN

Spokane. Wash. - Fifty thousand
dollars has been set aside by the city
commissioners of Spokane to thor
oughly test a day labor plan on pub
lie street work, including grading,
curbing, parking and sidewalk. The
plan, which is new under the assess
ment system of making public i'm
p~rovements in the northwest. was
presented by David C. Coates, COM
missioner of public works, who an
nounced that of he four proposals
received none was under $50, 99S. for
work which the city engineer esti-
mated at s25,7S0. Six other street
grading jobs have been held up
meanwhile, as all the bids are higher
than the engineers estimates. If the
plan works out, Mr.. Coates says, it is
likely that all the municipal work
will be done under the direct super
vision of his department in the fu-
ture. This work amounts to between
$4,000 900 and $4,000 900 a year. The
city ordinance provides a wage scale

RAILROADS PLAN TO
GET TWO-CENT FARES

Chicago.-Railroad action against
2-cent fare legislation throughout the
United States has received a great
stimulus from the recent decision of
Judge Sanborn, of the federal circuit
court, at st. Paul, declaring the Min
nesota 2-cent fare and maximum rate
laws unconstitutional and void.
Railroad men believe the decision
n of the most important from their
standpoint in recent years and the fill
ing of suits attacking the fare laws
as c~onfiscatory in many other states
is expected at an early date. They
declare it is but a question of the
time required to prepare the neces-
sary statistics and evidence before all
OF the state laws on the subject shall
have been brought under attack.
The Iowa law is likely to be the next
to be brought under. the court scru-
tiny. That of Illinois has been con-
sidered. but on account of the much
higher rate of passenger density in
this state, as compared with that of
many other states and the increases
in passenger traffic which have taken
place since the passage of the 2-cent
law in 1907, it is admitted the roads
would have a much more difficult

HOOD RIVER STUDENT
FAILS THIS YEAR

Hood River, Or.-Considerable ex-
element prevailed in Hood River high
school circles yesterday because Earl
Spaulding, member of the senior class
who was to nave graduated this year,
was not permitted to do so. Young
Spaulding participated in the several
high school debates and as a result
fell a few points short of the grade
required in one of his studies and
thus failed. The students who grad
uated last night refused to accept
their diplomas at the public gathering
and We're given them after the exer-
cises were over. The chair that was
to be occupied by Earl S~paulding
stood vacant on the platform and
caused a great many inquiries and
much comment.
Earl S%paulding is a young man
working his way through school and
is a general favorite among the stu
dents. The students made an ap-
pointment with the board of school
directors yesterday and attempted to
adjust the matter but no satisfactory
result was reached. They say Spaul-
ding was asked by n of the faculty
to take on the debating work.

UMPIRE FEATURES IN
ADAMS BALL GAME.

Blaming their defeat to a prejud-
iced and inefficient umpire, the mem
bers of the Roundup baseball team
returned from Adams yesterday even
ing, where they had participated in
one of the fastest games ever Witness
ed at that place. At the m of the
contest the scoreboard showed a final
count of 6 to 8 in favor of the home
team, but the Roundups are very in
dignant over the name in which
the winning run was made n the
treatment they received in general.
1t appears that the point of conten-
ton conferred around a ball batted
by an Adams player and which, ac-
cording to the Roundups, was fully
ten feet outside of the foul line, His
Jumps" however, was so sure of his
decision hat all the coaxing of the
visiting team could not induce him
to walk to the foul line TO ascertain
where the ball hit.
The local team has greatly improv-
ed since its reorganization. and is
n of the best aggregations in the
county, outside of the Blue Mountain
ieaSue' Stany pltcned a great game
for the team yesterday. While sew
eral safe bingles were secured off his
delivery, he kept the hits we'll seat
tired, and succeeded in causing Is of
his opponents to fan the atmosphere.
The game may we'll be termed a
pitchers battle as LaFave the Adams
twirler, caused IA of the Roundups to
lay down the bat without having con-
nected with the horsen,de. one of the
features of the game was the hitting
Of McGlnnis, who had a three Dagger
and a home run registered to his
credit.
Another game between these two
teams will be played on the JPen-
ture when the Roundups expect to
regain their lost honOrs.

MOB HANGS TRAMP
TO CROSS OF CHURCH

Bluefield, w. Va.-Praying vainly

confessing to having assaulted Mrs.
Harvey James, wife of a miner, was

a little church in the suburbs of the

nois probably will be left until the
outcome of the contest in other states
is known.
The railroads now are pluming
themselves on having defeated two
cent fare laws in the circuit courts
Of -four western states, although in no
case have the findings been passed
upon as yet by the United States SUI

innings Of National league ball, any
fan who vas present yesterday would
like to hear of it.
Playing nine innings without hardly
an error, both teams fought tooth and
nail in a clean, perfect exhibition Of
the national game. Luck seemed
against the Bears throughout the first
eight and one-half innings, but those
old heads who made up that infield
never said die, and kept life and
ginger into the game to the last ditch,
resulting in a tie score at the end Of
the ninth inning, when the game was
clearly Athena's and all hope had
been given up.
With the score 4 to 3 for Athena
fhen the Bears had their last chance
at bat, it remained for Happy"
Boewer to send a pretty two Dagger
over second base and through center
field, scoring Siegrist, who had
previously gotten on with two outs,
by Il hot one to first. Happy" was
given a mighty ovation from the en-
tire grandstand, and more than made
up for any past errors. The crowd
was wild with excitement and the
players working like Trojans.
Manager Babe shifted Hanson to
the bench and substituted Schrader
in the eighth, as his arm was growing
weak from the heavy strain and sew
eral hits had bee punched on him,
although Hanson did splendid work
throughout, luck simply being against
him.

their mettle during the practice for

of the infield during the whole nine
nine innings by the east enders.
Perth, the little Portland twirler
who blanked Weston without a hit
last Sunday, was landed on heavily,
the B~uckarooes taking four safe ones
during the initial inning. Holgarth
went in in the seventh but was bump
ed for a two and a three Dagger, and
Mcbride went in to finish the game.
The visitors made a number of costly
errors. which assisted materially in
the enlargement Of the Pendleton
score.
Story of the Game.
Milton was first to bat but could
do no batting, the first three men go
ing down before the mysterious bend
ers Of Berger, Pendleton started their
Journey to victory by taking three as
a starter. Bliss, first up, beat out an
infield hit, and vas sacrificed to
second by Nelson. Nevine brought
him to the platter by a clean bingle.
Baker followed with a corking drive
between second and third which sent
Nevins to third. Shocks laid the ball
down to short but Nevins was caught
trying to go home. Dickson followed
with the fourth hit of the inning,
scoring Baker. Berger drew a pass,
filling the bases. Shaffer laid the
bail down to short, reaching first,
while Suooks came home on the err
ror. Monroe famed, retiring the
side.
The visitors got their first score in
the second, Henderson getting a
scratch hit, stealing second and third
and coming home when Adams hit
the ball.
The Buckarooes added three more
to their string in the fifth, as the re-
suit Of a hit by Shocks, a bunt by
Dickson and a home u by Shaffer.
Incidentally that home run was one
of the famous features of the day.
Milton took another in the sixth,
the result of a pass to first, a stolen
base, an error and a squeeze play.
Nelson's men came back strong in
their half and annexed four. Nevins
was hit in the Stats, was sacrificed to
second by Baker and registered when
Shocks drove out a hot one. Dickson
got in the way of the bail also and
Berger drew a pass, filling the bases
Shaffer cracked the ball IN the
nose and got to first On a fielder's
choice, Dickson being forced out al
third n Shocks making home. A
couple Of errors then let both Berger
and Shaffer to the plate.
The last three for the locals came
IN the seventh, the result of a bas,
on balls. a two Dagger by Shocks, al
error and a three sacker by Berger
Milton's final tally was made in tn
first of the eighth by virtue of a pass
a stolen base and an error.
