SALOON RULES ARE
MODIFIED BY CITY
Owners May Now Enter Dur
ing Closing Hours if
Necessary

Henceforward. It will be possible
for saloonmen to enter their places of
business in cases OF emergency during
the hours when their doors are clos
ed to the public and they will not
have to hunt up a policeman to do
so, either. Action of the council last
evening made this possible, the mar
shall being Instructed to notify the sa-
loonmen that they would be permit
ted to so do until an amendment to
the liquor ordinance made such action
legal
According to a strict Interpretation
of the liquor ordinance, 1t has been
unlawful for the proprietor of sa-
loon to enter his place of business on
Sundays, at nights after the closing
hour or at any other time when the
doors Of the saloons are closed to the
public, unless he be accompanied by
an officer. In consequence, many OF
the saloonmen were forced to stand
| on the outside during the cold nights
and last Sunday and watch their wa
| ter pipes and their fiquor freeze. They
| Also claim that IN case of fire they
would not have been allowed to enter
|
their saloons.
The matter was brought up for dis
cnssion last night by councilman Cole
and, after considerable argument, was
finally settled when Recorder Fit2
Gerald anneunced that the intent OF
the law was to prevent traffic dur
| ing those hours and that no court in
the country would convict the pro-
prietors for entering to protect their
property. Therefore, Chief Kearney
was notified to inform the saloonmen
of the attitude of the council pending
the preparation of an amendment to
] the ordinance
During the discussion. Councilman
Ell paid his respects TO the old coun-
Gil which incorporated in the liquor
ordinance what he termed an unjust
clause. He declared the men who
had drafted the ordinance and who
had pushed it through TO adoption
had lost their heads over the matter
of saloon regulation and had become
incapable of rational reasoning.

ing set that date this morning. She is

Grand Jury May Fix Blame
For EIectrocution of Eu-
gene Graham.
CORONER HOLDS INQUEST
Public Sentiment at Weston Is Bitter
and Unfavorable to Athena Com
pany Which Furnishes Electric
Power to Weston.

without fixing the responsibility
for the death of Eugene F. Graham,
the coroner's jury impaneled yester-
day by Coroner Ralph Folsom return
ed it's verdict that the young man
came to his death as the result Of
contact with a live wire in the base
ment of d B. Jarman's store in Wes-
ton on Tuesday afternoon. However,
District Attorney Van Vactol was on
the scene and made an examination.
and, as a result, there may be grand
jury investigation to determine
whether or not there was any crimi-
nal negligence connected with the ira
gedy.
According to Coroner Folsom, pub
lie sentiment against the Preston
Parton Milling comany of Athena,
which furnishes power for Weston, is
at a high pitch, the citizens declar-
ing that, with proper attention to the
wiring, the young mans death would
never have occurred. They do not
blame Mr.. Jarman in any way as the
testimony at the inquest showed that
he had warned the young man not to
him into the basement to repeat the
warning
According to the proprietor's tes-
timony, he himself had experienced a
severe shock when he had attempted
to turn on the lights in the basement
and had, Immediately following
warned all of his employees of the dan
ger. Young Graham, he said, being
something of an electrician. went be-
low to make an investigation and was
followed by his employer, who warn
ed him again not to touch the wires.
Graham, he said, took hold of the
drop light to turn it on and was i'm
mediately knocked down, the drop
and cord falling on him and burning
hole in his chest so deep that the
ribs were charred. So great was the
voltage that the glass bulb was melt
ed and this with the cord was order
ed preserved as evidence by the dis
trict attorney
John Vaughan, local electrician,
this morning stated his belief that the
cold weather had grounded one of the
company's high power wires and that
the young mans body had formed
circuit between the ground and the
low power wires If Mr.. Vaughan's
theory is correct the wires them
selves were not carrying a large volt
age and the young mans death would
not have resulted had his feet not
have been on the charged ground.
The coroner's jury was composed OF
the following men: T.. %. De Moss
w. S. Payne, Otis Turner, j. L. Fu-

PENDLET0K TO Be ASKED TO SUPPORT
BASEBALL TEAM IN CLASS D LEAGUE

Can Pendleton support a baseball
team in a class D league during the
coming season? This Is a question
that will be put up to the fans of the
city in the near future, IL plans now
being considered in Walla Walla and
La Grande meet with favor with the
bugs Of those cities. Grant Lincoln,
a well known baseball enthusiast of
the Union county city. has written to
Walla Walla fans stating that Baker
and La Grande are ready to join with
Pendleton and Walla Walla in a four
team class D league and a meeting
will be held in Walla Walla tonight
to consider the proposition.
Whether or not Pendleton can raise
enough money to warrant joining in
a move Of this kind Is an undecided
question. Some Of the fans are OF
the opinion that, in view of the sue
cess of the Buckarooes onithe diamond
last year. sufficient fund would be
subscribed to start good team. while
others are very skeptical over the sit
uation.
