REGISTER YIELDS
So TO THIEVES WHO
ENTER CHINESE CAFE

One of the first burglaries of the
year in Pendleton occurred sometime
last night when thieves made en-
trance into the Pendleton Cafe, q
Chinse restaurant on Alta street just
east of the Wheeler Photo gallery,
purloined the cash register, took 1t
across the street by the Sloan black
smith shop and, breaking it open,
took the contents amounting to about
two dollars.
Entrance to the building was made
by smashing the glass in the front
door. The register was found this
morning by the blacksmith shop just
where the burglars had left it. 1t
was damaged but not beyond repair.
What makes the crime especially
bold is the fact that it was committed
within the very shadows of the police
station The thieves, however, had
evidently kept watch on the move
ments of the night officers and had
seized an opportunity when the pa
trolmen were on their beats. No clew
was left by them.

CITY NOT LIABLE FOR COST OF

pany. 1t is also probable that, in the
event of the success of the Jackson
street opposition, the company cannot
collect further for the other pave
ment work done here.
The case is a new one in the an
mails of Oregon litigation, according to
local attorneys. The only case re-
sembling it, they say. is that in which
citizens of Forest Grove enjoined the
city officials from proceeding with
certain Improvement work. The weak
ness of the present case. they say, lies
in the fact that the Jackson street
property owners permitted the War
rem Construction company to lay its
pavement without taking any legal
steps to prevent ii and are thus in the
position of accepting the improve
ment and seeking to escape payment
for it. The principle of those who
desire equity must also do equity i.
here involved, they say.

The city itself nor its officers will
not be loser regardless of the outcome
of the suit filed against it yesterday
by James Johns by which it is hoped
to escape the payment for the Jack
son street pavement, according to the
judgment of those who have careful-
ly read the contract between the city
and the Warren Construction COM
pany which had the contract for the
work. The contract states expressly
that neither the city nor its officers
shall be liable FOR the payment of the
cost of the paving except for such
part of it as benefits property owned
by the city, and also states specifi-
cally that the contracting company as
sumes all risk for any irregularity or
invalidity of proceedings.
Thus, should the city be defeated
in the suit, the loss would probably
fall entirely upon the Warren COM

1t was several weeks ago that the

| Newark, n. J., Dec. 11.-Three res

elect Wilson with death unless he
caused $4,000 in gold to be left for

.Postoffice inspectors made the ar
rests.
Seven letters in all were sent to
Governor Wilson, it appears. Their
text indicates the writer's to be of a
low degree of literacy. One of them,
the letter dated November IL, read
in part:
"Mr. Woodrow Wilson: Il am now

and we are death on presidents, so
now Wilson if you have $4,000 in gold
for this party, we will spare your life
but If not we will shoot you before
you get in the office as sure as your
name is Wilson"
Newark, n. j.. Dec. 11.-Attorneys
declare that the principal evidence
against John and Jacob Dunn, the
mountaineers accused of sending
threatening letters to Governor VIII
son. is not admissible. 1t consists
of letters written by the men since
their arrest. containing the same
characteristics as the threatening let
ters. The federal law bars such eVi-
dence here.
1t is reported that one of the broth
ers made an discriminating statement
but this was not confirmed. 1t de-
veloped that Wilson started for Ber-
muda earlier than he expected be-
cause of the letters His family urg-
ed him to go.
The prisoners insist they are good
democrats and protest their inno-
cence. Jacob Dunn denied he tried
to strike a secret service man with
an axe.

the men will plead not guilty.
