JOHN DAY SMITHY
INVENTS AUTO WHEEL

That he has devised a resilient, or
recoiling steel wheel that may be
used to advantage on autos, wagons
and other vehicles is the declaration
of ]. S. Andrews, a pioneer black
smith and wheelwright of John Day
who was here yesterday. In the op-
inion of the Grant county man his in
vention is the best thing of its sort
now in existence and he hopes to see
1t come into general use. He has been
assured by automobile men that if the
Invention proves successful it will
mean a fortune to him.
Before going into Grant county An
drews formerly did blacksmithing
work at Walla .Walla. His preference
however is for the interior. He says
there is too much excitement and
noise in the larger places for him and
that one night in Pendleton is enough
for him at one time.

Barrlcade Concession and Prepare
for Battle That Is Utterly Hopeless.

Shanghai. Nov 2S.-The rebels
rushed the Nanking Notifications and
captured them after the hardest
fought battle of the revolution.
Seven hundred imperialists and five
hundred rebels were killed in the last
rush. More than thirty thousand reb-
els took part in the last assault.
Fearing annihilation. the imperial
lists stood by their guns until they
were overpowered. The casualties for
the last week are not less than 5000.
Dispatches indicate that the rebels
met a crushing defeat at Wu Chang.
just below Hankow and 1t Is believed
the imperialists again hold Hankow.
Han Yang was captured by the
imperialists. which is very near WI
Chang.
Foreigners, fearful of the critical
situation, have barricaded the streets
leading to their concessions and have
mounted Maxim guns for a desperate
resistance IL the threatened anti-for-
eign uprising occurs. They would
not have much chance II an attack
y should be made.

PENDLETON FREIGHT
RATES NOT REDUCED

Although the Interstate Commits
sion last Friday ordered a twenty per
cent reduction of all interstate class
rates from Portland. Seattle and Ia
coma to oints in oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana. this order
will probably not secure any lower
rates on freight to this city from Port
land for the reason that the existing
local tariffs are as low or lower than
those ordered into effect on January
g
The local freight office has as yet
received no communication from the
company officials regarding the de-
cision but no reduction is anticipated
and thus the cost of living will in all
probability remain the same. insofar
as affected by freight tariffs.
The commission ordered the class
rates reduced in distances between
200 and 800 miles as follows:

Los Angeles Nov 2S.-Detective
Brown, chief of detectives of the dis
trict attorneys office, today arrested
Bert Franklin, former deputy Unit
ed States marshal and chief investi-
gator for the Mcnamara defense and
charged him with attempting to
bribe G. N. Lockwood, a prospective
juror, to hang the Mcnamara jury.
Brown stated that he and two 9TH
er detectives saw Franklin pay $500
ing. He had been watching them for
some time.
Brown said he was cognizant that
an attempt had been made to inter-
fere with talesmen.
He said that when the actual truth
is known, a sensation that will par
allel the original arrests of the Nc
Namara brothers will be sprung.
1t was hinted by some persons
concerned that veniremen have been
planted" in connection with this case
try to prove that this was done by
peTSf ms near 10 lHe McNamara ue-
fense.
Brown said that the $500 was paid
as earnest money on $4,000 bribe to
hang the jury.
Arrests of the higher ups" are i'm
pending Franklin was only a go-be-
tween, it is said.
District Attorney Fredericks won't
talk. Clarence Darrow, defense at
torney. denied absolutely that the de-
fense is in anyway connected with an
attempt to ia mper with talesmen. He
ntimated that he considered it may
be a plan to influence public opinion
and would not talk much until the
affair is investigated.
Lockwood was drawn as a member
of the eleventh panel. He had not
been actually served with a subpoe-
ma.
A man named Gap" White broth
er of the former sheriff, was with
Lockwood and was also arrested.
They were sweated and later releas-
ed. No charges have been filed
against them.
District Attorney Fredericks later
said that White made the actual pay
ment. Fredericks displayed the mon

Nc whirlwind Campaign.

h. v. D. King, the hustling new
secretary of the CIarksburg Board
OF Trade, has arrived at the conclu-
sion that still more life and more
members are essential for that body
to carry on a proper campaign for
tho Industrial and commercial ex-
pansi6n of Clarksburg. He does
not want to, waste any time about
st, either, and he purposes to carry
on whirlwind membership cam
paign lasting two days.
To assist him and to give added
impetus to the work. Mr.. King has
enlisted the services of Anthony
Bowen, secretary of the Fairmont
Chamber of Commerce, former
clarksburger who did vast deal
in the early development of this city
and who is chiefly responsible for
one of its busy Industrial suburbs,
With two men like these behind the
movement there surely ought to be
something doing.
Great opportunities lie ahead of
the board of trade at present and
they ought to be taken advantage
of. To develop this community
along industrial and commercial
channels in proper manner, he
board of trade cannot suffer a lack
of interest nor a membership that
does not Include every business
man In the city.
Messrs. King and Bowen deserve
the assistance of every, citizen in
their efforts to make ClarksburG
bigger by making its representative
board of trade bigger and stronger.
In unity there is strength and
strength-vital strengths just
what is needed to fulfill hopeful
plans and grasp waiting opportu-
mites.
