THEIR ONLY HOPE
OF SAVING DYNASTY
ConsuIs at Peking' Demand
ImperiaIists Be Dis
armed
Troops of Legations Given Ammuniti-
on to Protect Subjects of Other
NatiOnS-Yuan Endangered.

Peking, Jan. 25.-With a general
massacre of Chinese in Peking i'm
inent by the Manchus who are again
in control of the city, foreign diplo-
mats here. today have demanded that
the emperor disarm the imperial
guard and ball cartridges have been
issued to the European soldiers who
are guarding the consulates.
The excitement is intense and all
whites have been warned not to ven-
ture into the native section of the city.
The prime object of Manchu hate
Is Premier Yuan. who is surrounded
by 5000 loyal troops ready to defend
him. The Manchus are spreading re-
ports that he sold out the country
to the rebels.
1t is believed by many diplomats
that the government is winking at
the grave possibility of a massacre,
hoping that an outbreak will bring
foreign intervention, which now
seems the only hope OF saving the
dynasty.
In this connection 1t is reported
that the younger Manchu princes
have received assurances that If an
opportunity offers, Japan will inter-
vene and stop the revolution. A gen.
eral massacre would make this op-
portunity.

SAYS BREAK WITH
HARVEY JUSTIFIED
Magazine Mans Views Were
Ample Cause For
Parting
Support of Harpers Weekly Was
Liability Rather Than An Asset,
says COmmoner.

Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 25-William J.
Bryan has come out in defense of
Woodrow Wilson. In a letter from
the east, the Commoner defends the
New Jersey governor in his contro-
versy with Colonel Harvey. editor of
Harper's Weekly, and Colonel Henry
Watterson.
The letter follows:
The recent break between Cover
nor Wilson and Colonel Harvey illus
trates the impossibiity of cooperation
between men who look at public
questions from different points of
view.
colonel Harvey became a support
er of Mr.. Wilson when he was select
ed as the democratic candidate for
governor of New Jersey and he con-
tinued his support when Governor
wilson began to be discussed as a
candidate for the presidency.
"Of course, it is absurd for Colonel
Harveys friends to talk about his
bringing Governor Wilson out No
man or paper could have made Gov
ernor Wilson available as a candidate
if he had not himself attracted atten-
ton. 1t would have been impossible
for Colonel Harvey to have prevented
discussion of Governor Wilson's
availability.
But let us assume that Colonel
Harvey was doing all that he could
for his choice, what was the stua-
ton
His conspicuous support was not
only of no advantage. but it became
actually disadvantage; it did not
bring to Governor Wilson the class
for which Colonel Harvey speaks, but
alienated men just as honest as Col
onel Harvey'a friends who could not
understand why Colonel Harvey prais-
ed Wilson personally without indors-
ing the things for which Governor
Wilson stands. 1t naturally aroused
suspicion as to the sincerity of one or
the other; and when Governor Wilson
was asked the question, he admitted
that he regarded the support of Col
onel Harvey as a liability rather than
as an asset.
should he have pretended that he
thought Colonel Harvey was helping
him when he was not And why
sould Colonel Harvey complain? If
he really favors Governor Wilson. he
must desire to aid him; why should
he be offended then at Governor Will
sons frankness? Is he more inter-
ested in being known as the man who
made Governor Wilson famous than
in advancing Governor Wilson's
cause?
"Colonel Harvey has shown no
signs of conversion. If he consorts
with Ananiases it is not with any
consciousness OF blindness. He has
not seen new light and when he
does he will be so ashamed of his
lifelong fight against progressive
democracy that his first desire will
be to bring forth fruits meet for re-
pentance-not to assume leadership.
1T must pain Governor Wilson to
break with his old friends, but the
break must necessarily come unless
he turns back or they so forward. A
man is known by the company he
keeps and cannot keep company with
those going in opposite directions.
Governor Wilson must prepare him
self for other desertions-theye will
distress him. but there is abundant
consolation in duty we'll done"

HURD SAYS 1T WAS
MERELY AN ACCIDENT
Stanfield, Ore, Jan. 20, 1912,

Stanfield, Ore, Jan. %, 1912.
Editor East Oregonian:
Following the meeting of water US
ers along the Umatilla river and its
tributaries at which the initial step
was taken in the organization of
what is now the Umatilla County Wa
ter Users Association, you and 1 dis
cussed in your private office the name
first chosen-Umatilla River Water
Users Association-and it was you
who first informed me that the name
was the same as the name of the as
sociation of water users on the Una
tilla Project at Hermiston. You know
that 1 explained to you that the CO.
incidence of names was an accident,
resultant from lack of knowledge of
the exact name of the Hermiston or
ganization and from thoughtlessness.
The statements in your columns of
January "a that the name Umatilla
River Water Users Association was
"a manifest attempt to hoodwink"
and under such circumstances as to
arouse evident suspicion of forgery"
seem entirely without warrant and
insincere.
1t appears to be an effort to dis
credit Senator Burgess whom you op-
pose politically and even considered
in that way, it appears to be an un-
manly, underhanded, unfair method
of fighting beneath the ethics of a self
respecting and respectable journal
such as the East Oregonian ought to
be.
l regret very much that any UNA
ulla county newspaper should thus
stulify itself and disgrace the profess
sion not to say how much it is to be
regretted that an honored and re-
spected citizen of the county and
president of an important association
should be so slanderously scandal
lied. Very truly,
G.. L. HURD,
Secretary Umatilla County Water
Users Association.

MOSES TAYL0RiB0UND
OVER TO GRAND JURY
Athena Assault Case to be Investi-
gated by Grand Jury.

The case of assault with intent to
kill against Moses Taylor, prominent
Athena farmer, will be Investigated
by the grand jury, Justice of the Peace
Joe II. Parkes binding the defendant
over under $500 bonds this morning
after preliminary hearing.
The testimony taken this morning
showed that on last Friday afternoon,
George Sheard, nephew of Taylor's
former wife, drove into the Taylor
place to secure a hayfork belonging
to neighbor; that Bill Taylor, son
of the defendant, got into the rig
with Sheard and drove out to the
stack; that while they were getting
the fork, Moses Taylor appeared out
OF the house, gun in hand, and fired
three shots. According to Sheard's
testimony, the gun was pointed at him
and the first bullet passed just over
his head. The defense is trying to
establish that the gun was pointed up
in the air and that it was not fired
with intent to kill Sheard.
Judge Parkes considered suffici-
ent amount of substantiating evidence
had been introduced to warrant a
grand jury investigation and bound
the defendant over after the pleas of
IS A. Newberry for the state and VIII
NJ Peterson for the defense.
Because of the prominence of the
defendant, considerable interest has
been aroused and the court room was
filled with spectators.

By City 50 50

By action of the council last night
in voting to advertise for bids on an
electric fire alarm system and a new
bell, another step was taken in the
campaign for better fire protection
which has been under way for some
time. The matter was taken up when
Fire Chief Vaughan submitted fig
ures showing that the installation of
a system costing between $500 and
$4,000 would be the means of saw
ing annually $4,000 to the business
men alone on insurance premiums.
Following an explanation made by
Byron A Day, representative of the
Gamewell Fire Alarm Police Tel Co.,
as to the nature of the mechanism
required, Councilman Ell, chairman
of the fire committee, made the mo-
ton to advertise for bids for a 90

tus to be applied as part payment The

by pullet Of this breed which
scored up to 95 points. One exhibit
in this class contains some wonderful
ly good birds.
The Columbian Wyandottes are
fairly good birds but not quite what
they should be. However, the exhibit
here compares xvery faborably with
any l have handled this season. The
Columbian Plymouth Rocks are away
beyond the average of most shows,
some of the females being far on the
way to perfection.
Il have yet some hard classes to
go over. In Barred Plymouth Rocks
| have as good as there are in the
West, birds which have won firsts
and sweepstakes at other big shows.
IN Black Minorcas there is a grand
class. one bird alone has taken
thirteen firsts. l gave it first at two
big shows and many other judges
have agreed with me.
There is long line of Rhode Is
land Reds to handle. 1 have not
touched one of them yet but can see
at a passing glance that it is going
to require a good bird to win.

POULTRY SHOW IS ROUNDUP OF BEST
BIRDS IN NORTHWEST SAYS JUDGE

Everybody has heard of the fam
Gus Pendleton Roundup" said Judge
Miller Purvis last evening at the end
of his second days work in judging
the birds at the poultry show now
being held in the Armory, "but 1 did
not know that the poultry show was
also going to be roundup of the
best fowls ever gathered in one room
in oregon. The show is one of the
latest of the show season. and most
of the exhibitors who are showing
here have had their birds at other
shaws and have entered their winners
here, as it is really sweepstake
show where the winners in other
Oregon and Washington shows have
come together for the final test. Thus
prize won here is a sweepstake as
it represents winning over other
winners.
''As far as have gone I have found
birds of the first class all along the
line. In White Leghorns 1 have found
some of the highest scoring birds 1
have handled this year. I have some
thing of a reputation for putting
scores down but the White Leghorns
az this show cannot be set down
without doing them rank injustice.
White Plymouth Rocks and White
Wyandottes are represented by birds
good enough to show anywhere. 1t
Is very rare to find such high aver
age quality in any show. 1t may be
said that there is not really poor
bird In either of these classes.
I'm Buff Plymouth Rocks the
showing is superb and the owners
have every reason to be proud of
their birds. The highest score 1 ever
gave to Buff Orpington was made
