New York, March 30.-Thirty wo-
men were rem owed last night from a
memorial mass meeting for the VIC
Tins of the Washington Place fire in
Grand Central Palace, suffering so
terribly from hysteria that ambulance
surgeons were called to aetend them,
and to remove some to the hospital.
More than 5000 persons were pres
ent, mostly women whose nerves were
unstrung by the recital which some
of the speakers made of Saturday
fire horror. The meeting was under
the auspices of the Shirt Waist and
Dressmakers union.
Arrangements for a funeral demon
stration in which 10000 sympathiz-
ers will be asked to join; Identified
ton of four more bodies, leaving but
16 now unidentified; the swelling of
the relief fund to nearly $4,000 and
the effort of the district attorneys
office and of the fire marshal to fiy
the blame for the catastrophe, were
activities today which followed Sat
urday's fire horror.
1t is proposed to take the bodies
of most of the 143 victims through
the streets Monday in a great funeral
procession, headed by a chorus of 20
singers from the Jewish Choristers
union, followed by the 500 surviving
employees of the Triangle Waist COM
pany, and as many sympathizing
workers as can be induced to join. 1t
is suggested that the procession pass
from the morgue by the Washington

STATES STETSON Is BEHIND
NEW YORK INSURGENTS
That He Tuesday Stepped Into Lime
light and Boldly Assumed Charge
of Entire MOvement-Stetson Says
He is Not Interested in What MUIR
ply Has to Say About Him.

New York, March 30-Charles Muir
ply came out last night in a state
ment attacking Francis Lynde Stet-
I son, New York lawyer, charging
him with working openly with Frank
II. Plat, son Of former United States
Senator Thomas c. Plat, in making
deal with the republican machine
to elect a man of his own selection
for United States senator.
He charges Mr. Stetson with being
the mysterious power who has been
behind the insurgent movement at
Albany"
"All efforts to discover the identity
OF the man really responsible for this
action have been in vain" continues
Mr. MurDhy's statement, until yes
tcruay, when, with brazen enfrontery
Francis L. Stetson, a political phari-
see, stepped into the limeight and
boldly assumed charge of the entire
movement"
who Is this Francis Lynde Stet-
scno" asks Mr.. Murphy, and then pro-
ceeds TO ask Of Mr. Stetson is not
the same man who acted as counsel
for the steel trust. the greatest piece
of stock watering ana stock jobbing
in modern times, and which is just
about to be Investigated by the con-
gress Of the United States.
rs Ne tAe attorney also for J. p.
/ Morgan and for Thomas F. Ryan? Is
he tie man who orgarized the North
ern Securities company? Did he not
, organize the International Mercantile
Marire-the shipping trust; the rub
bor trust, the Harvester trust and
other similar bodies?"
Along this line. Mr.. Murphy pro-
c5eds with his attack listing a doz-
cr corporations Of which he declared
Mr.. Stetson was a director and then
adds:
This man is not alone the repre-
sentative of the interests-he is the
personification of the interests-he is
one of the interests"
New York. March 30.-When told
Of Murphy's attacks upon him last
night, Mr.. Stetson said:
Il don't care to have YOU read it to
me! I am not at all interested in any,
/ thing Murphy has to say about me.
Mr.. Murphy is entitled to form any
opinion of me he sees fit. I think he
is largely justified in his resentment"

NEW YORK BANKING
METHODS ARE ROTTEN

New York, March 30.-The rotten
banking methods in New York, worse
than were shown when Morse failed.
are expected to develop here through
the work of the grand jury investigat-
ing the Carnegie Trust company. The
Jury looks for the evidence to show
that certain banks maintain a slush
fund for the purpose Of bribing per-
sons able to make new business for
them. 1t has already been shown
that the Carnegie institution main
tanned a s1,50O,00 fund for this pur-
pose and the grand jury has just
learned that $4,000 was paid to have
ex-President Dickinson elected trus-
tee of Cornell university. These
facts, it is believed, are only a hint
Of the rottenness yet to be uncover
ed. 1t is reported that six felony in
dictments are being held, pending fur
ther investigation of the bank.

At 2:30 this afternoon, President
Carter of the Umatilla County Bar
association, called a special meeting
of that body to order and stated that
the occasion had been caused by a
certain enlargement in the st. Den-s
mis- vs.. Watts case which had embar-
raised the court to the extent that the
association had been asked to .inves-
tigate the procedure and methods in
the case. Inasmuch as the constitu-
ton provides that such Investigations
shall first be made by the executive
committee, it seemed probable at 8
O'Clock that the only action which
would be taken by the association at
its meeting would be to refer the
matter to this committee. Judge
James A. Fee made this suggestion
and it seemed TO meet with approval.
The executive committee consists Of
President c. H. Carter, Vice President
R. j. Slater. Secretary G. w. Coutts,
Treasurer Will NJ. Peterson, ]. A.
Fee, S. A. Newberry and Frederick
Steiwer, the latter having been elected
this afternoon to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the resignation of F. H. Bart
lett.
The Charges Made.
Attorney Watts charges that At
torneys Perry and Bailey have been
guilty of unprofessional conduct in
instigating suit by representing to
the heirs of Desire st. Dennis that he,
Watts, was robbing them by with
holding certain moneys and notes from
them. Watts later secured the power
of attorney from the plaintiffs and
filed a motion to dismiss the suit
against himself Inasmuch as this
was done without an order from the
court, it was illegal Meantime Perry
& Bailey had filed a motion for de-
fault through failure of Watts to
answer the complaint. This is the
present state of affairs.
The following attorneys attended
the meeting this afternoon: w M.
Peterson, G. W. Coutts. w. c. E.
Pruitt, H. 1. Watts, S. F. Wilson, ].
A. Fee, S A. Lowell, John Lowery,
j. P. Winter, S. A. Newberry, Fred

Pendleton is to have one hour more
of daylight each day in which to work
and play II a plan now being fostered
materializes. An attempt was made
last spring to introduce such an inno-
walton and the high school really put
II into practice but the merchants
could not all be persuaded to make
the change in opening and closing
their establishments ana rs unanimity
of adoption Is absolutely necessary for
the success OF the plan, the attempt
was frustrated. This year, however,
the advocates of the daylight conser-
walton idea feel that they will be able
to make the citizens generally see the
advantage of going to work an hour
earlier and closing an hour earlier.
Leon Cohen, principal stockholder
In the Peoples Warehouse, was the
prime mover in the movement last
year and he is responsible for its re-
newal this year. Briefly his plan is
for the entire populace Of Pendleton
to set their watches and clocks ahead
an hour from May 1 until October /
thus giving them Huntington time
Ry praeticing this little deception they
would not have to change the hour
in which they perform their daily du-
ties. This deception is absolutely ne
cessary Tor She success Of the plan
he states as man is by habit crea-
ture OF clocks and all of his actions
are regulated by the hands of the
dial. Thus, while in reality, Pen
dleton would be rising an hour earlier
and gong to bed an hour earlier, the
watches a the city would show nc
change ana the citizens would be get
ting the benefit of one hour more
of daylight.
A number of objections have been
advanced to the plan but they are
not SO serious that they can not be
overcome when once the plan is put
into operation. For instance, the rail-
roads could not be expected to
change their time to conform to the
Pendleton watches and thus there
would be some confusion as to trains
but after few days the people would
get in the habit of making allow
ance for the discrepancy between the
two times. Also it is stated that the
new system would interfere with the
established shopping customs of the
ladies of the city and of the farmers
but Mr.. Cohen states that it. has beer
his experience as a merchant thai
both ladies and farmers make theii
trading hours conform TO the business
hours of the community.
Not the least of the arguments ad-
vanced in favor of conservation Of
daylight is that it will give the peo-
pie another hour in the evening fol
recreation and 1t would make practi.
cable the formation of a twilight
league Of baseball for the amusement
