Rockefeller Checks Speeders.

Tarrytown, n. Y, July 13. - Mr..
William Rockefeller, brother of John
d. is not as patient with automobile
speeders and joy riders is is his phi
lanthropic brother and neighbor. For
sometime he has had reason to COM
plain of the liberty taken by autoists
with his property and the advantage
they have taken of the fine roads
about his country home to show what
speed records they could establish. SO
he had completed plans to curb their
enjoyment
Broadway in front of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's home has been closed for sever
al days, while some brick work on
Arch Hill is being repaired. The only
way for automobiles to cut around
the hill is through his property. Dur
ing the few days that they have had
such liberty however, Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's gardener reports that hundreds
of dollars worth of damage have
been done to the roads. The gard
ener has, therefore, the consent of
his employer, erected a series of
thank you ma'ams" about a foot
high and twenty feet apart for the
especial benefit of the speeders who
will take their time when driving
through the Rockefeller estate until
the roads are completed.

for some time, wired to Chief Kearney
for his assistance at this end of the
line.
The mother of the girl states that
she received lettev or postal card
every day from her daughter up un-
til July 5, since which date she has
not received any communication
whatever from her 1t was a postal
card which the missing girl sent on
the 5th and the message was cheer
full and did not betray an unusual
state of mind. No theory is advanced
by the police as an explanation of the
disappearance and nothing whatever
can be learned about the Miss Hunt
ington. No one seems to know where
she came from or what her vocation
in life.
Miss Baker is 26 years of age and
has had considerable practice as O
nurse. While here she worked for
some time in the Hanscom jewelry
store and has always borne an excel

MOST OF LOCAL ELKS
BACK FROM PORTLAND

Greatly gratified over the success
of their feature in the big Elks' pa
rade at Portland the majority of the
local members of the antlered herd
who helped give Portland and the
visiting multitude taste of real wild
west life, have arrived home and
their trainload of horses has also re-
turned. Both men and animals es-
capped without any serious accident.
The boys feel that they fulfilled all
promises made and more than ac-
complished all they tried as one of
them expressed himself this morning
I'VE were satisfied when We found
We could make a creditable showing
and more than satisfied when we
were accorded a tremendous ovation
from first to last, but when we were
awarded three prizes we were over
helmed with the success of our plans"
There are none who will question the
fact that Pendleton made the great
hit of the convention. Not only in
the parade but about the city after
ward, when the cowboys performed
feats of recklessness in true frontier
style and when the Indians gave their
thrilling warwhoops and executed
their war dances in hotel lobbies they
were the center of attraction and were
lionized by the admiring hosts.
The Roundup Cowboy band won
great applause whenever it played
and the throngs were astonished at
the excellence of the music produc-
ed by these rough looking "tooters"
on horseback The ovation accorded
them is a great tribute to Leader
Chauncey Haines as well as to each of
the players.

Where Is Miss Nellie Baker of this
city and who is Miss Huntington with
whom she left Pendleton three weeks
ago? These are questions for which
the police of Portland and Pendleton
are vainly seeking an answer in an
endeavor to solve the mystery of her
disappearance.
Miss Baker is the daughter of Mrs.
Ida Baker of 121 Perkins avenue and
resided there with her mother and
sister until three weeks ago when she
informed them that she intended go
ing to Portland with a Miss Hunting
ton whom she had met here and who
desired her to accompany her as a
companion. The two left here on
June % for The Dalles and stayed
in that city for three days after which
they went on to Portland and took
rooms at S24 Salmon street,
The two ladies disappeared several
days ago but Miss Baker left all of
her personal belongings in her room

that Crawford had paid money to an
alleged dummy entrymen on land
claims. The charge was later disap-
proved.
Lorimer said that this sort of evil
dence closely resembled much of that
offered in the Lorimer case to prove
chat Lorimer was currupting the de-
partments "They did not have enough
so the Tribune went and bought Will
liam Burns to commit perjury" he
said.
"They had CLAWS indicted to make
him hold his tongue. If there were
no people back home demanding
blood, would you turn senator out
on such flimsy evidence as is present
ed"

Democratic Success This Fall Is Pre-.
dicted By Local Men Back From
Baltimore.
WILL BE REAL LANDSLIDE
Sentiment i'm East is Strong for Prin-
cetOnian, Declares Judge MaIoney
and Mr.. Blakely-EverybOd Is for
Him-Republicans are Turning to
Wilson Also.

That Woodrow Wilson will be
swept into the highest office of the
land next November on an avalanche
Of votes is the opinion expressed this
morning by Judge j. W. Maloney and
w. NJ. Blakely, who returned last
evening from Baltimore where they
had been, the former as a delegate
to the democratic national convention
and the latter as a spectator from the
galleries. Everywhere in the east,
they declare, sentiment is crystalizing
for the Princetonian as a result of
the action at the history making con-
ventions.
Both of the returned Pendleton
men also state that Champ Clark de-
feated himself for the democratic
nomination through his alignment
with Murphy, Tammany and the in
terests and both expressed their op-
inion emphatically that William Jen-
nings Bryan is the greatest man in
the world today.
Everybody is For Wilson.
In speaking of the chances for the
election of Wilson, Judge Maloney de-
clared that everywhere he went in the
eastern states he found that the pre-
vailing preference is for the New Jer-
sey governor. "The democrats are
behind him solidly," he said, 'and
have talked with many republicans
who unhesitatingly announce their in
tention of voting for Wilson. Taft
has no more chance of being elected
than l have and I am as confident
that Woodrow Wilson will be the next
president as | am of anything"
Mr.. Blakely made much the same
statement, declaring that the young
men of the east in particular are SOL
i'll for the democratic nominee. "And
l met many old republicans who are
Wilson men," he said. "On the train
coming home. l rode with the father
of Judge Helmus Thompson of Eu-
gene who fought for the union in the
battle of Bullrun and who has been a
lifelong republican. He declared that
he intended to cast a vote for Wilson
if he lives until fall"
Clark Defeats Himself.
Champ Clark would have been
nominated on the second ballot" de-
clared Judge Maloney in speaking of
the memorable convention fight in
which he was on the Wilson side from
first to last, had he have accepted
the Bryan. program for the tempor-
airy organization. He had many more
instructed delegates than Wilson and
there were many Wilson delegates
like myself who considered Clark a
progressive and woud have switched
to him after he had secured a ma
jcrity. But he showed so plainly that
he was a standpatter, a big business
candidate and a political trader that
it would have been party suicide to
have selected him. There is no ques-
tion but that he had an understand
ing with Murphy whereby he was to
secure the 90 New York votes for his
support of Judge Parker for tenn
porary chairman and there is no ques-
