PRESENT LAWS DENOUNCED AND RADICAL
CHANGE PREDICTED BY BAR PRESIDENT

Boston, Aug. 29.-A scathing de-
nunciation Of trusts and the evils they
inflict on every communty, created a
sensation here today in the conven-
ton of the American Bar association
by its president Edward Farrar Of
Louisiana.
He said the recall of the judiciary
agitation is but one symptom of the
political and social economic unrest
that is pervading this nation. Mr.
Farrar defended, in measure, the
principal of corporation, as necessary
to the industrial development of the
resources of this country, and added
that if these corporations have be-
come Frankensteins the people them
selves have created them by their
| legislatures.
He declared that the economic ad-
| vantages. if indeed there are any
flowing from these aggregatons OF
| capital are drowned in the belief
that they exercise too much political
power; that they selfishly and un'
scrupulously bar the door to private
enterprises and that they harm th'
industrial freedom of individuals.

CHAMP CLARK FLAYS
PRESIDENT TAFT

quincy III, Aug. 29.-Replying to
the speech made 10y President Tart
last week at Hamilton, in which he
charged that the democrats played
everything for political effect during
the special session of congress. Speak
er Champ Clark. consr%sman from
Missouri, today gave the president a
severe grilling
Mir. Clarke pointed out that if the
democratic house of representatives
had not lined up with the president
, on the reciprocity measure with Can
| ada and brought about the settlement
of other important measures. which
the republicans refused to do, that
President Taft would today be a sadly
/ discredited official.
| Mr.. Clark bitterly denounced the
| president as being unappreciative and
was at the time of his speech show
ing his ingratitude for the aid the
democrats gave him.
He said that the only politics that
the democrats played was the keeping
of their promises, which he added
are decidedly good politics"

years manager of the local office of
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, has been chosen by the officials
oi the company to take charge of the
office at Victoria, Is. c., and he will
leave Saturday or sunday for that
city to take up his new duties, His
promotion is the direct result of a re-
cent visit here of the officials and an
inspection of the local office, which
later proved SO satisfactory that Mr.
Gillette was at once scheduled for
advancement
Mr.. Gillette has been connected with
TIE local office for the past ten years
for the past six in the capacity of

satisfaction to patrons of the telegraph
company He has made many friends
here who will regret his departure al
! though rejoicing in his good fortune.
| He himself regrets leaving Pendle-
ton but feels that the offer is such
| that it can not be sighted. The Vic

VITAL STATISTICS Of HEALTH BOARD SHOW
UMAT|LLA COUNTY TO Be HEALTHY LOCALITY

claiming one each month, Typhoid
fever, which is supposed to be lurk-
ing the water system of every city,
has found Umatilla county but a poor
field for its ravages. Only one death
has been due to it in three months
AMI only one case has been reported
during that time. Both the fatal and
the cured case occurred in the month
of April. But one case of scarlet fe-
yer was reported in the three months
while diphtheria, measles, smallpox
and all other Infectious diseases have
failed to put in any appearance at
all,
When it is taken into consideration
that but few counties in the state
have a larger population than has
Umatilla, these statistics are signifi-
cant.
The figures compiled by the state
board also present the number OF
marriages reported in the three
months. June upheld her reputation
as the popular month of marriages, II
couples having been joined by th'
marital knot within her thirty days
April recorded IL and May was
close third with IL.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-08-29

Statistics received this morning by
Coroner Folsom in the April-May-
June bulletin of the oregon state
Board of Health present some inter-
esting facts regarding the compare
tive number of births and deaths in
the different counties of the state and
the prevalence of different diseases.
These figures prove cOnclusivly that
the counties in eastern oregon are
more adapted to good health than
those of western oregon, the death
rate being lower and the number of
contagious diseases being much
smaller.
OF particular interest are the sta
tistics from Umatilla county for the
three months. April showed the high
est death rate there being nine
deaths reported against six in May
and four in June. April also showed
the greatest birth rate, % being re-
ported against II for May and l.
for June.
OF much significance are the fig
ures showing the prevalence of diff
ferent diseases in the county. Th
dread white plague was responsible
for three of the nineteen deaths

the same testimony at the coroner's
inquest shortly after the murder Paul
Beattie yesterday said:
II hated to testify against NV OWN
flesh and kim he murmured but
my wife, my child and the duty I
owe to my city forced me to do so.
Henry told me himself that ne want
ed me to stick by him, but I said to
him this looks mighty black to me
and you've got me into a lot of trou-
ble.
"Henry told me, 4 wish to God I
had not done it. l would not have
done it for a million dollars, but she
never loved me. She only married
me for my money"
when did you first learn of the
murder?"
Next morning"
when after that did you see Hem
ry?"
THAT same day. IN the evening at
his house. We stayed on the front
porch. Paul he said, I want you to
go to the house of Mrs. Fisher and
tell her that if she opens her mouth
or says anything about this thing, III
kill her if it takes a hundred years
to do it,"
The witness said he visited Beulah
Binford and gave her the message.
She said I reckon Henry Clay
/ Beattie, Jr will marry me now" Paul
continued.
7 Though mercilessly grilled by the
attorneys for the defense, Paul Beat
/ tie stuck to his story throughout the
! severe cross examination, that he
purchased the gun with which his
Cousins wife was killed.
When gn attempt was made to show
( that he had held a grudge against the
family of Henry Clay Beattie, Paul
stoutly denied the allegation.
The defense today announced that
the accused husband of the murder
ed woman would take the witnesg
stand in bis own defense.

unknown HOBO DIES
UNATTENDED IN CITY

Found in the "jungles" above tho
Main street bridge where for two days
he had laid i'm a fevprish delirium, an
unknown hobo died last night before
he could be taken to the hospital. The
body now lies in the morgue with
nothing about it to serve as means
of Identification and it will probably
be buried by the county in the pot
tcrs' field without a mourner and
without the knowledge of such friends
and relatives as he might have had.
It Is known that the man laid in
the "junglcs" for at least two days
unattended except by another hobo
who brought water to him at inter-
walls, exposed and burning up with
fever. Why his attendant did not
notify the authorities is ineXplain-
able. Yesterday Officer Myers was
informed that a sick man yas lying
along the river and Walter Wells was
dispatched TO make an Investigation.
He found sick man who declared
he was in no need of assistance but
i, later uanspired that this wac an
other man entirely
Last night Officers Kearncy and
sheer were notified and went imme-
diately To remove him where he could
secure medical assistance The man
was delirious and before he could be
gotten to the hospital he had eX-
pired.
Coroner rolsom does not consider
an inquest necessary.

San Francisco, Calf, Aug. %
Practical certainty, that julius Krutt-
schmitt, president and general
manager of the Hartman System Of
railroad lines. will refuse to receive
the heads of five unions, who are
coming west, as representatives OF
the fedeated shopmen of the lines,
and that a strike on the Hartman
lines will result within very short
time following his refusal, was the
declaration made today by prominent
labor leaders of this city.
Mr.. Kruttschmitt, in maze Of
words that left no doubt as to the
stand he will take, today announced
that the lines he represents will not
under any consideration treat with
the new federation.
He frankly confesses that to do so,
would put the laboring men in abso-
Lutte control of the railroads.
\ new danger has arisen in the sit
uation in the fact that the men in
the shops are decidedly and openly
disgruntled and may go out on a
strike whether the officials of the
unions or federation order them to
do so or not.
Labor leaders are taking a more
oonciliatory attitude. although they
remain firm in the declaration that
they will persist in their quest for un-
conditional recognition of their feder-
alton system.
