Washington, D. c. - The scandal
involving Major Beecher b. Ray OF
the army pay corps, is engaging the
attention of army men and politicians
because of the evidence already
brought out, and more to follow, in
dicating that through the use of this
army officer in several campaigns the
army has been invaded by politics.
This has nothing to do with the per-
sonal scandal involving the name of
Major Ray.
The investigation into the Ray case
has proceeded far enough for it to be-
come apparent what the committee
hopes to show. Representative Helm
of Kentucky, the committee chairman
and his Democratic colleagues say
that Major Ray was used in the 1904
campaign by Theodore Roosevelt, and
in the 1908 campaign by William II.
Taft, that he was detached from his
army duties, although his pay and *
pense allowances We're permitted to
continue and assigned to Chicago
headquarters of the Republican am
paign committee; that while thus as
signed he did political work keeping
the labor vote in line for the Re-
publican ticket and paying particular
attention to the order of railway
trainmen of which he formerly was Il
member.
More than this, the committee DEM
ocrats claim that, as a result of these
political services, first for Roosevelt
and then for Taft, Major Ray was
shown unexampled favoritism, having
been assigned to Is separate and dis
tinct stations in 13 years, although
the average tour of duty of a pay
master at any n staten is between
three and four years, and that, al
though guilty on three separate oc-
casions of financial Irregularities and
once involved in a scandal relating
to a woman, each time, against the
recommendation Of his superior Of
ficer In the army, he was saved from
punishment by President Taft.
These papers. or a limited portion
of them, as 1t afterwards turned out,
were forwarded to the committee,
which, when congress convened, inn
mediately began a personal investi-
cation of the case. Since then no
less than three additional bundles of
papers. of vastly greater interest and
Importance than those sent to con-
gress by the war department last
summer, have come to light.

mors OF improperly in the usage of

The resolution was introduced by
the chairman of the committee, Repre-
sentative Adamson, of Georgia. 1t re-
cited the need of a thorough inquiry
into the charges that the canal will
be used by trans-continental railroads
to stifle competition in freight rates.
Il empowers the committee to call
the aid of the government executive

put them under oath and to get papers
and other information throwing light
on the matter. The result of the in

Of the commerce court by advocating

The Cosy.

If any one in Pendleton misses
hearing Chas. II. Hampton, the con-
vict lecturer, the favorite speaker of
our western America, and seeing his
pictures depicting the actual every
day life of both men ard women con-
victs at the Cosy theater tonight and
Tuesday. they will miss the rarest
treat ever presented to our Pendle-
ton people.
His pictures (the only authentic
ones ever shown to the public) and
his lecture are in themselves les
son, but his plea alone to the boys in
behalf of the fathers and mothers Is
worth many times the price of ad-
mission His work is certainly in ac-
cord with the teachings of every par
ent and is evidenced by the packed
houses and enormous patronage which
he so deservedly merits.
Pendeton will undoubtedly see to
it that at least the boy will get the
benefit of the experience which the
convict has so dearly bought. Rules
and punishment especially the whip
ping post. are only few Of the sub
jects lectured on, and all are of in
tense interest The departments OF
this justly famous prison, showing
1880 prisoners in convict stripes and
the daily lives while kept in subjec-
ton, confinement and at work in
their different departments, give one
an accurate idea of convict life and
results in a lesson to our boys we
cannot afford to have them miss.
This lecture is given practically
free in addition to the regular picture
program and at the regular price of
admission.
