the time arrived for the presents to
be distributed. They were banked
deep on the grassy slopes of the
racing course, and order was main
tanned by parents, police and foster
guardians. When the motion picture
operator started to take the picture
of Mayor Rolph welcoming Santa Claus
with a hearty handshake, their child
ish enthusiasm could not keep within
bounds any longer, and parents and
police and foster guardians were swept
aside in the joyous rush OF children.
Long before noon the children began
to arrive and by 2 o'clock all was. in
readiness for the. grand entrance Of
Santa Claus in his big automobile
truck loaded with toys and sweetmeats.
The ceremony started with parade,
headed by the Columbia Park boys

ElkS MINSTREL PROGRAM SHOWS MANY

If anybody doubts that the local

delectable dish to serve Pendleton
epicures of entertainment tomorrow
and Friday nights, they have but to
roll their skeptical eyes over the re-
cipe used in the making of the con-
ccction and note the individual in

of course is meant the talent which
has been assembled, sifted, mixed,
stirred and boiled into a conglomer-
alton extremely palatable and of ex-
ceeding fine flavor.
For instance one of the principal
elements cast in to the pot Is one
Jack Keefe whose name has ere this

SMITH WITHDRAWS
MAL0NEY WILL RUN
County Judge Doomed For
Delegate to Democratic
Convention.

DR.. c. j. Smith of this city will not
enter the race to be a delegate to
the democratic national convention
to be held at Baltimore this summer
and County Judge j. w. Maloney will
take his place upon the ticket.
Some time ago friends of DR.. Smith
started a boom to bring about his
election as a delegate to the conven-
ton and it met with general favor
due to the prominent part the doctor
has had in the political life of east
ern Oregon, especially in democrat
ic circles. However the doctor never
made a final decision regarding the
matter until yesterday when he let
it be known to friends that he pre-
ferred not to make the race.
Thereupon County Judge Maloney
was urged to get into the race and
he has consented to do So He will
from the eastern oregon district and
not from the state at large.
Friends of Judge Maloney declare
he is the ideal man to go to Balti-
more as one of the ten men from
Oregon and they predict his election.
The judge is one of the most popular
democrats in the county and has a
very extensive acquaintance over the
rest of the state. He is particularly
strong in Eastern Oregon.
Judge Maloney is progressive
democrat and is personally favorable
to the nomination of Governor Wood
row Wilson as the democratic stand

ALL CHURCHES AT
FREEWATER UNITE
Presbyterian Minister is
Chosen to Fill
Pulpit.

Hereafter the church people of
Freewater will be united into one
broad, federated community church
instead of working for a single end
through several denominational or
CARNATIONS. This is the result of a
meeting of the presbytery of Pendle-
ton, which was held at Freewater, Or,
yesterday with the following MEM
bers present; DR.. w II. Bleakney,
Rev. b. F. Harper, Rev. j. f Vernon,
Rev. Z. j. Timblin, Rev. S. ]. Camp
bell and Rev. ]. NJ. Cornelison, with
Master Vernon Purdy as correspond
ing member.
The two organized churches, the
will turn over the property and the
Methodist people ct al, will enter in
to the same federation, making it
certain that no other organization
will be formed
The federated church called DR..
w. II. Bleakney to be their pastor.
Although strong pull has been ex-
erted by many Portland brethren to
secure his services for Tillamook
church, DIR. Bleakney has decided to
remain at Freewater because the
Presbytery saw the hearty spirit of
the federation and saw it almost a
sure failure unless he remained. So
the Presbytery refused to allow DR..
B.eakney to go since he was a pastor
OF the Freewater Presbyterian church
and must be released by the Presby-
terry.
All those entering into the fedora
ton will retain their denominational
affiliations and contribute to the be-
nevolences of their own church
boards. This being looked after in
detail by a committee for the pur-
pose and arranged for in the plan of
federation. Yet so far as the work
of the church and religious forces are
concerned in Freewater, there is but
one church. All church letters de-
posted with the joint committee will
be returned to any one asking when
they remove and unite with some
other church.
The most splendid spirit exists in
the federation largely due, as all
agree, to the magnanimous spirit of
DR.. Bleakney, who is and has been
the sine qua non of such a get togeth-
er spirit.

New York, Feb. IA serious split

DEATH CLAIMS FOUR PENDLETON CITIZENS
TUESDAY NIGHT; TWO WOMEN. GIRL AND MAN

Death cast its sombre shadow oyer

Pendleton people. At st. Anthonys

teacher of the county, and Mrs. Ellen
Rothwell, wife of Dale Rothwell. op-

Jim Billy, a we'll known Indian, an
swered the last summons.
l.. T. Link was one of the best
known characters in the county.
Coming to this county 10 or IS years
ago. he has resided in different local
tiles about Pendletnn continuously,
most of the time being engaged in
teaching school. During the past two
years he has been following his cho-
sen line in Echo, but prior to his en-
ployment there had been teaching at
various times in Ukiah, Pilot Rock,
Gurdane, Meacham and other outly-
ing districts. There was much of
mystery attached to him and none of
his friends ever learned aught of his
life before coming here or of his rel
atives. He was we'll educated. hav-

branches of learning. For some time

Mrs. Rockwell.
Particularly pathetic is the death
of Mrs. Rothwell because of the
fact that she was stricken with the
disease from which she died shortly
after her marriage less than a year
ago. In the midst of her honeymoon
she suffered a relapse of the malady
from which she believed she had re-
covered and her heartbroken husband
has been forced to see his bride wan
ing in strength and suffering intense
pain despite his every effort to restore
her to health.
She was the daughter of Mrs. L. A
Kinman of S23 South Main street. At
the time of her death early this
morning, she was aged 90 years and
5 days, having been born in Pike
county, Indiana, February II, 1889.

Secretary Nagel said Gordon has

The alleged plot, eliminating in the
destruction of the Los Angeles Times
plant and causing the death of twen-
ty-one men employed on the news
paper, which had fought the unions,
came to light with the arrest, trial
and subsequent confessions of James
and John Mcnamara, brothers and
members of the Iron Workers un-
ion, who admitted dynamiting the
Times. They are now serving terms
in the California penitentiary at San
Quentin.
In the case of each of those men
arrested today and who We're ar
raigned, according to reports received
by United States District Attorney
Miller, who directed the investiga-
tion here. they entered pleas of not
guilty and many We're released on
bonds of from $4,000 to $4,000.
Attorney Miller this morning said:
"The number arrested so far is
only about half of those against whom
indictments were returned by the
federal grand jury
Outside people do not as yet be-
gin to understand the magnitude OF
this conspiracy"
He intimated that some genuine
sensations are still to be exploded
and that the nation will be astonish-
ed when the facts become known.
The list that were indicted by the
federal probers here, included the
Mcnamara brothers, Tviemoe, Clan
cy and Munsey, of San Francisco,
who We're indicted also by the fed
eral and county grand juries at Los
Angeles.
Ryan. Hockin and Butler, who
were arrested here today, had not
been able to secure bail late this af-
ternoon, but it is probable that they
will do so before tonight.
According to District Attorney Mill
Ter, it is not probable that all the
men indicted will be arrested before
tonight. They will be rounded up
later however
