ALLEGED VIOLATORS
OF LAW ARRESTED
Three Taken in Custody on Charges
of Destroying Headgate Boxes on
Irrigation bitches.

For the first time since irrigation
took its place in the development Of
Umatilla county violators of the laws
regulating the use of water have
been arrested on criminal charges. To-
day three prominent fruit raisers of
the Milton -Freewater district. NJ
Shackleford, Fred Beller and Louis
Winters, We're placed under arrest for
destroying the headgate boxes which
guage the amount of water used, the
warrants being issued from the office
of the district attorney in this city
upon complaints filed by
Watcrmaster L. d. Rowland.
The boxes are placed at the head
OF each irrigating ditch and the law
prohibits anyone except the water
master from raising or lowering the
gates. Ii is alleged that many wa
ter users totally disregard this law
opening and shutting the gates when
ever they please. However. such
tiagrant violation as the destruction
or the boxes is not SO common and
the authorities declare they will do
their utmost to make an example of
these men, The cases will be brought
up first in the Milton justice court.
Winters is an old man and it is
said is mentally enfeebled. Several
times, according to the authorities, he
has threatened to shoot any water
master or his assistant who ap-
proaches his headgate. and the pres
cnt situation may result in his ex-
animation for insanity.

Fight for Roosevelt.

Chicago. IL. Aug. 3.-With Pro-
fessor Charles Il. Merriam acting as
temporary chairman. a Bull Moose
party was formally launched in ILL
nois today. with the opening of the
state convention. The main question
was the advisability of placing a
third party in the field to oppose
Governor Deneen who was renomi-
mated on the regular republican
ticket
Although Deneen particularly fa-
vors the candidacy of Roosevelt. he
refuses to leave the republican party
and many of the state Roosevelt lead
ers are opposing Deneen. Chief of
these is Medili Mccormick, who
opened the fight to put a third party
ticket in the field. He favors the
nomination of State Senator Frank H
Funk, of Bloomington. Governor
Hiram Johnson of California, who is
here for the national convention, is
expected to address the convention
sometime today.

2ND BATTALION OF
3RD REGIM ENT TO GO

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug S.-By
unanimous vote yesterday morning
the General STAFF of the Oregon Ma
tional Guard voted TO dlsband the
Second Battalion Third Regiment
officers and men.
This drastic course was taken to
punish the organization for the dis
obedience which resulted in the ar
rest Of Major r. o. Scott, Captains
Harry r Williams and Walter T..
Tooze. and Lieutenants Richard Deich
and Harry c Brumbaugh, pursuant
TO orders Of Brgadier- General N. p.
Maus because of reported refusal to
march from Oakville to Gate, and
for the language used by the five Of
ficers in addressing General Maus
during the recent maneuvers.
So far as the Oregon National
Guard goes this brings the sensa-
tional event to a close. BY ordering
disbandment the General Staff felt
that its course would show the proper
purpose to maintain discipline, and
would also sufficiently punish all
who had been guilty Of mutinous or
sedtious conduct during the field
maneuvers closing last week.
orders We're also issued to Adju-
tant- General FINER to start at once
to organize another Second Battalion
for the regiment. As the disband-
ment order is intended to apply only
To such officers and men as We're
guilty of the offenses charged, in the
reorganization all who have not been
under charges, or who may not sub
iect themselves to charges before the
final mastering out occurs, would be
held eligible for readmission into the
services. This arrangement is in
tended to protect those officers and
men who have not been guilty of any
breach of discipline.
While the general staff, which has
final power up to the realm Of the
governor. issued the order Of dis
bandment yesterday, a little time will
be required for the djutant-general
10 carry the order into effect. Until
this executive order has been issued,
I'm obedience to the command of the
general staff, the Second Battalion
win continue a member of the guard.
"All members of the general staff
believed disbandment the proper pro-
cedure." said Adjutant-General Fin
zer yesterday morning, following the
announcement of the order, while
the men under arrest or those that
might later violate the regulations,
could yet be tried, before I carry out
The dsbandment order, as the case
now stands We believe that all who
are guilty are sufficiently punished
without a courtmartial sentence. If
II became necessary. we could yet
hold the coutrmartal before disband-
ment. but I do not think it will be
necessary"
