Los Angeles, Calf, Jan. 30.-Clar-
ence Darrow, chief counsel for the
McNamaras, confessed dynamiters and
murderers, who was yesterday indict-
ed by the grand jury and arrested on
charges of bribing jurors during the

ers, who started the investigation that
led to the arrests of the McNamaras,

$4,000. Mrs. Lecompte Davis, wife
of his associate counsel in the Nc
Namara case, and Colonel Young. fur
nished the bond.
If convicted on each of the four
counts, Darrow may spend thirty

SOLDIER FATALLY SLABS
AN INNOCENT STRIKER

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 30.-More
tile workers strike become today
when the military authorities took
drastic measures to prevent the un-
employed from grouping together and
the militia fatally bayonetted John
Barry, an eighteen year old youth,
who the officers admit did nothing
worse than try to run out of the way
of the soldiers. He was bayonetted
in the back.
Practically martial law is today be-
ing maintained by twenty-one COM
panies of infantry, two troops of cav
airy and one thousand private detec-
tives in the employ of the Textile
manufacturers, who are combining
their forces to overthrow the thous-
and of strikers.
Although martial law has not been
Officially declared, the soldiers are pa
trolling the business section of the
city and all avenues leading to the
textile mills.
Meanwhile the strikers, most of
them hungry, stand idly about in
small groups in a binding snowstorm
and bitter cold which intensifies their
horrible sufferings.
Colonel Swetzer, who is in COM
mand of the military forces, has for
bidden the strikers from parading the
streets or holding mass meetings to
discuss ways and means of winning a
victory over the employers and has
ordered the troops to arrest any one
trying to make a speech in the streets.

SHOT DOWN BY MAN
He GAVE LODGING TO
Charles Silk, UmatiIIa Man,
Receives Four Bad
Wounds.
Injured Man Lies Helpless in Lonely
Shack All Night Before Being Dis
covered.

After opening the door of his shack
to stranger and offering him half
of his bunk for the night Charles Silk
an O.-W. r. & N. switcNman at UNA
tilla, was shot down by his guest and
now lies dangerously if not fatally
wounded in the local hospital. His as
sailant escaped but was captured this
morning at Arlington, according to ad-
vices received by Sheriff Taylor, but
his name has not been learned
Silk was shot four times, one bullet
passing through his hip, one through
his shoulder. one through his cheek
and one through his ear and lodging
in his neck. The shooting occurred
last evening and the victim lay where
he fell until discovered at o'clock
this morning.
Because of the long time elapsing
before he was given medical attend
ance, the wounds are liable to prove
more serious. He was brought to
Pendleton on the motor car this NOR
ming and DR.. Ringo, who operated up
on him, expressed the belief that the
man may recover.
According to the story told by Silk,
stranger appeared at his shack last
evening and asked for nights lodg-
ing. He was invited in and told he
could sharethe only bunk in the build
ing. Silk then started about his pre-
parations for supper, when, he says
stranger suddenly opened his grip,
took from it 3S calibre revolver and
began firing at him. After two shots
had taken effect, he says, his assailant
knocked him down with the butt end
of the revolver and fired two more
bullets into his PROSTATE body before
fleeing.
He gives no motive for the assault
and declares he knows nothing what
ever of the man. The officers here
have not learned any more about the
case beyond the fact that the assailant
was formerly employed on Switzler's
island. He will be brought to Pendle-
ton tomorrow.

Taking of testimony in the Mabel
Warner forgery trial commenced this
morning, a jury having been secured
before adjournment last night, but
progress has been very slow today
owing to the nature of the evidence
submitted and the efforts made by the
defense to bar its admittance. Up un-
til press time the evidence had been
principally documentary and had not
all been allowed by Judge Bradshaw
In his opening statement this NOR
ming, District Attorney Van Nactor de-
clared he would not only prove that
Mrs. Warner had uttered forged in
strument as alleged in the indictment
but also that she had committed the
forgery herself, had forged other wills
and had had them in her possession,
and had sought to hire different per-
sons to make fraudulent documents
and to testify falsely.
r. r. johnson for the defense, in
outlining the course he would pursue,
declared he would prove that it had
been the intention of James Young to
bequeath his estate to the defendant
and that he had frequently gave ut
terance to such intention and as late
{, as a few minutes before his death.
He also declared he would introduce
evidence to show the close bond eX-
listing between deceased and Mrs. War
ner from the time the latter was eight
years old. Further he declared he
would prove that the defendant had
promptly refused offers from various
persons to draw up for her fraudulent
wills.

' sion of this evidence and while the

prosecution and he was called upon ~
identify certain of the records in the
case. The will upon which the indict-
ment is based was introduced, the pc
tition and order for probate and cer-
tain other documents bearing upon
the case, including the decision of
County Judge Gillland and of the su-
preme court, both of which declared
the will to be a forgery. Objection
was made to both of these decisions
and Judge Bradshaw is taking the
matter of their admittance under ad-
visement
Mrs. Nora Watts, wife of DIR. F. d.
Watts, a neice of james Young and
principal heir un Ter the accredited
will, was the only other witness on
the stand up until 2:30 this afternoon
and she was called upon to identify
letters written by Young to her, the
writing in which the state desires to
compare with writing purposting to
be Young's and alleged to be forged.
Clash Over Letters.
Objectin was made to the submis-
sion of thi sevidence and. while the
judge has not rendered his final de-
cision, he has expressed an opinion
that the letters are not admissible.
He is allowing the state time, how
ever to produce its authorities. :.
An amusing incident testifying to
the intense feeling between Mrs
Watts and Mrs. Warner, occurred
when the former first took the stand.
Although they sre cousins, Mrs. Watts
answered the question as to whether
or not she knows the defendant, "I
know of her. and there was no mis-

interested and desiring to be heard.
The board has nothing to do with the
litigation concerning water rights,
but as this subject has been frequent
ly mentioned in the correspondence,
the director invited the state engi-
neer, who has jurisdiction over wa
ter rights, to attend these hearings If
in his opinion, information might be
obtained Of value to the state
During the forenoon the members
of the board were taken to the Com
mercial club where they made in
quirles OF Secretary Jack Keefe as to
the attitude of the club regarding the
West Extension. They were inform
ed as to the resolutions passed by the
local organization following the open
meeting held at the Oregon theaer
early in December.
At o'clock this afternoon the
board convened in the office in the
h-Crawford building and began
listening to information and advice
from such parties as appeared.
Called by the session of the board
a number of people from Stanfield
and elsewhere in the west end are

fore the board. In the Stanfield dele

What Kind of a House j.?

RUT A HOUSE can be all of this,
O and yet fall far short of what a
house should be, and that is - a home.
A home, even if it be only the single
rented room of a bachelor or bachelor
maid, should be convenient and at
tractive, and should be an expression
of the individuality of the occupant. 1t
should not only be attractive, it should
be the most attractive place in the
world to those who dwell in it. Only
under such conditions can it fulfil its

N PURSUANCE of this object
novel idea has been worked out. The
cover design will show in colors the
exterior of an ideal house of fairly
moderate cost within the limits of a
large city. Thus the house is not only
ideal it is real, an actual home that
has been built and is lived in, and that
Is not the mere fanciful dream of an
architects imagination. On the cover, ,.
and likewise in colors, are shown pie
lures of the same house as it would
appear if constructed of different
materials.
