BLOOD TRAIL OF
OUTLAW FOLLOWED
Portland PatfoIman Fights Revolver
Duel With Supposed Escaped
Washington Convict

Portland, April 25.-Like a wound
ed rat, an unknown man, who fought
a revolver duel with Patrolman Ben
der today, is now being trailed by
thirty officers under Captain Keller.
Bender accosted the man who ran
on the roof of a building in the dock
district Bender pursued.
The fugitive snapped a revolver
five times in the officers fave. 1t
failed to explode. They closed in a
scuffle The man beat Patrolman
Bender over the head with his revol-
yer, knocking him nearly unconscious.
Then he climbed off the building and
fled
Policeman Bender recovered suffi-
ciently to pursue the fellow and fired
five shots at him. The last one struck
the fugitive as he crawled under an
anjoining building.
The man is being trailed by blood
and it is believed his leg is smashed
Bits of cloth We're found under
porch where it is believed he bandag-
ed his leg. He is still hiding near the
docks.
1t is believed he is an ex-convict,
probably one of those who escaped
from the Walla Walla penitentiary as
he had newspaper clipping relating
to the penitentiary there.

T. R. CONFIDENTIAL
LETTERS EXPOSED
Given to Senate and Cause Bitter
Row Between Adherents of
Presidential Opponents

Washington, April 25.-Both con-
demnation and approval are express
ed here over the reading in the SEN
ate of confidential correspondence
setween Herbert Knox Smith, com
missioner of corporations, Theodore
Roosevelt. then president, and Chas
]. Bonaparte, former attorney gener-
al, regarding the governments anti
trust suit against the International
Harvester company.
Adherents of President Taft are
iubilant while Roosevelt men are
admittedly angry and are asserting
that it is nothing but political move,
intended to injure Colonel Roosevelt's
candidacy for the republican presi-
dental nomination
Senator Bristow of Kansas fees
bitter toward Attorney General Wick
ersham and other officials of the de-
partment of justice, who turned over
the letters to the senate.
Bristow said:
THAT is the most contemplate act
anyone was ever guilty of and showed
that the man who perpetrated it had
none of the sensibilities of a gentle
man."
The letters tend to show that Pres
ident Roosevelt asked Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte to postpone prosecu-
ton of the harvester trust.

Washington, d. c. April 25.-A
bad breach between Chairman Smith
of the Titanic investigating commit
tee, and other members of the com
mittee is reported to have occurred
today.
Senator Smith wants to keep all the
survivors of the Titanic crew in
Washington till the inquiry is finish
ed, while other members OF the COM
mittee believe this is unnecessary. j.
Bruce Ismay and Franklin, managing
director and vice president, respect
lively of the White Star line, have de-
manded the crews release. Senator
Bourne of Oregon, constantly breaks
into the Questioning ignoring Chair
man Smith.
Quartermaster Hichens of the I'll
tanic who has already testified before
the committee, demanded his release.
Chairman Smith refused his request,
but was overruled by the other mem
bers of the committee.
William Marconi, head of the Mar
conf Wireless company, first witness
today, admitted that the New York
offices of his company sent a message
to the Marconi wireless operator on
the rescue ship Carpathia, to ''hold
news story of disaster at four fig
ures,' This means that the wireless
company decided to withhold the
facts of the deaths of the hundreds
OF Titanic victims. and rescue of 9TH
er hundreds of survivors from anxious
relatives and the world at large until
the newspapers paid the company at
least one thousand dollars for the
news.
After admitting that the New York
office had ordered its operators to
hold the news story of the disaster for
money, Marconi expressed his opin-
ion that every liner ought to have two
wireless operators. He said he un-
derstood the difficulties experienced
by the Carpathia's operator, in send
ing messages on account of interfer-
ence of amateur wireless operators.
Chairman Smith read a wireless
message sent to the navy department
by the United States steamship Flor
ida, in which the captain reported
several messages he had interrupted.
One was from the New York station
to the Carpathit. 1t read: "Say to our
man, Marconi company is taking good
care of you. It's fixed so you can get
big money"
Marconi said he knew nothing of
them. He said he told Chief Opera
tor Sammis he would not prevent the
operators from making what they

PRELIMINARY GAMES
PLAYED THIS WEEK

CARROTS Buckarooes will be seen
in action by local fans three times
within the next week for three swat
tests have been arranged to be pulled
off on the Roundup diamond within
the space of five days. On Saturday
the Adams team will enter the lists
with the locals, on Sunday Garrett
will create two teams out of his bunch
and set them at each others throats
and on Wednesday May l, the Echo
amateurs will strive to lower the
Pendleton colors. These games will
be in. the nature of practice for the
team which will open the season of
the Tri-state league against Walla
Walla.
The Adams bunch will be reinforc-
ed by recruits from Athena and mas
much as the regular Adams team has
been cleaning up every thing in the
shape of ball nine for several weeks,
the contest will undoubtedly be inter-
esting.
Because it will serve as a tryout in
which every player will be endeavor-
ing to show everything in the way
of baseball talent he has, the Sunday
game is expected to prove a hummer.
Asa B. Thomson is collecting the
best speed and curves in the Echo
territory for next Wednesday and
promises to even up for some of the
defeats Pendleton administered to
the Echoites last year.

President Taft quoted Colonel Roos-
evelt's third term statement of 1904
and also that of 1908, in which Roos-
evelt said he would not again be a
candidate.
He gave Roosevelt full credit for
electing him in 1908 and then he
said:
Neither by word thought or act
have | been disloyal to my friend
ship for Mr.. Roosevelt"
President Taft said that so far as
personal feeling could go, he would
not reply to the attacks of Colonel
Roosevelt on the Taft administration
and accusations against him, but he
said the cause that he represented
was the cause of those republicans
who believe in the constitution and
IL is entitled to defense.
The president attacked Cole sRoose-
welt as unsafe for president. He said
Roosevelt was q dictator who, once
he received a third term, would cling
like a leech to the presidency and
never leave it till death removed
him.
President Taft's voice trembled with
emotion as he spoke these words. He
closed by saying that Roosevelt Is a
man of such strong personality, Sc
little respect for the courts and so
little regard for the constitution that
he could not be trusted as president
again.
