DIRECTORS REFUSE
TO MEET IN BOISE
la Grande, Walla Walla and Pendle
ton Think President Sweet Is
Showing Partially.

There will be no meeting of the di-
rectors of the Western Tri-state
league in Boise on September 3, the
directors of the Pendleton, Walla
Walla and La Grande clubs having no
titled President Sweet that they would
not attend any such meeting and de-
manding that he call the meeting for
La Grande sometime later in the
month. Secretary Keefe officially no
titled Sweet of the decision of the
directors today after he had confer
red over the long distance telephone
with Director Crawford of Walla Wal
la and Director Lincoln of La Grande
and with Director Frazier of Pendle-
ton personally.
Sweet as president of the league has
made himself highly unpopular with
fans and officials of every city ex-
cept Boise, which is his home. They
feel that he has been partisan
throughout the season and incompe-
tent as the head of league. He has
called all of his meetings since the
original one for Boise, which is less
central than any city represented in
the league Therefore, the Walla
Walla. Pendleton ana La Grande di-
rectors are standing pat and refusing
to attend any meeting that is not call
ed for one of the other cities. Pref
erence is expressed for La Grande
and in the message to Sweet, Secretary
Keefe requested him to call meeting
for September u in La Grande.

Declares Presidents Action Sending
Troops is in Open Violation Of
Law and Unconstitutional.
DONE FOR CAPITALISTS
Georgia Statesman says Taft Had No
More Right to Send Troops to MIC
aragua Than to MeXicO-Action for
Purpose of Protecting Certain 'In-
terests"-Hints Investigation.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 31.-A scathing
criticism of President Taft foP order
ing American marines to Nicaragua,
was voiced here today by United states
Senator Bacon of Georgia. Tafts ac-
ton was characterized by Bacon as
unconstitutional and an open violation
of law.
Taft" said Bacon, "overstepped
his authority when he sent troops to
Nicaragua without obtaining congress
sional authority 1 recognize that
small bodies of marines should be
landed to protect American consulars
but that is a different proposition
from sending an army to take sides
with conflicting factions. Taft could
have sent 10000 soldiers with equal
propriety. He had no more right to
send marines into Nicaragua than he
would have to send a similar number
into Mexico. 1t seems plain that the
proceedings are in the interest of GER
tain American capitalists"
Bacon hinted that important wit
nesses would be called before the
senate investigating committee to sub
stantiate his belief that Taft's or
ders regarding Nicaragua are given in
the interest of American capitalists

PEARSON PROPERTY

Henry Taylor Buys Residence for ST.

Active Here.

Never at any time in recent years
have houses to rent been in such de-
mand as at present, according to E.

he declares the difficulty in renting
is leading TO a considerable activity
in the real estate market. In the last
week he has sold three. pieces of prop
erty to people who could not rent

The largest transaction he reports is
that which was closed today when

chased the EnOch Pearson property

tween the residences of ]. F. Robin

The third property transfer which
Mr.. Wade reports is the sale of the
Hans Lorenzen property between the
Walters mill and the branch hospital
to w. 5. Ball for $500.
Mr.. Wade declares he is approached
by people every day looking for hous-
es to rent and states that it is almost
impossible to secure anything desir-
able. He believes that it would be a
paying investment for some one to put
up a string of good renting houses.

cut, a good many of the farmers
having finished and others requiring

work, However, up in the foothills

Even those farmers who have fin

entirely from the damage of the rains
as some have great deal of their
sacked grain still lying in the field.
