BRYAN ADDRESSES
CONSTlTUTIONALIS7S

Columbus, Ohio, March 12.-In an
address delivered before the constitu-
tional convention here today, William
Jennings Bryan gave his unqualified
endorsement to the initiative, refer
endum and recall of officials-includ-
ing the judiciary-the direct election
of United states senators, better pro-
lection for laboring people, an en-
ployer's liability law, state income tax
and taxation OF franchises.
Mr.. Bryan laid particular emphasis
on the needs of the recall of the ju-
dietary, declaring;
"A judge who would be swerved by
fear of the recall would not be fit for
his place. anyway"
"The initiative" said Mr.. Bryan,
lis the most effective means that has
yet been proposed for giving the peo-
pie absolute control of the govern
ment The initiative and referendum
do not overthrow representative gov
ernment.
The purpose of representatye gov
ernment is to represent and it fails
when it misrepresents.
1T cost centuries of struggle to Sc
cure popular government and all this
struggle and sacrifice is in vain if the
peoples representatives can betray
with impunity and mock their consti-
tutions. while drawing their salaries
from the public treasury.

CLUB 5 WILL MEET
HIGH SCHOOL TONIGHT

Tonight lovers of basketball will
have an opportunity to see one of
the final if not the last game of the
season when the Commercial club
team and the high school quintet
mix in their contest for supremacy.
Should the academy tossers emerge
with the long end of the score, the
hopes of the business men to land
the city championship will be forever
lost, while should the latter win, an
other and deciding game will prob
ably be arranged.
1t will be remembered that these
two aggregations met in battle royal
n couple of weeks ago. the scholastics
winning by score of 81 to 80 but
since then the Commercial men have
been strengthening sheir weak points
and developing speed and endurance
so that the fray tonight promises to
be more closely fought The two
teams will line up as before, but the
Commercial men will probably put
fresh men in from time to time.
The first whistle Is scheduled to bt
blown at o'clock and the place o,
battle will be the Commercial gym.

indictments don't show that the de-
PENDANTS attempted to deceive the
railroads and furthermore it is not
unlawful to carry explosives on pas

Mrs. Antoine vey and Charles
Mcmillan Victims of Alta
Street Crash.
GIRL DRIVER CONFUSED
Force of Impact Sends Two Men
Hurting to street, Rupturing Lung
of One and Sends Lady's Teeth
Through Her Lip.

In the first serious auto collision
in Pendleton since the adoption OF
gasoline locomotion, the auto truck
belonging to the Pendleton Auto COM
pany was partially demolished, the
big slx-cylnder touring car of Antoine
Vey was badly damaged, Charles Nc
MILAN, occupant of the truck was in
jured internally, Mrs. Vey sustained a
severe cut on one of her lips, while
Miss Mamie Vey, driver of the car,
and Harvey Withers. driver of the
truck, escaped, oddly enough, with
only severe jolting and few minor
bruises,
The accident occurred about 4:S0
yesterday afternoon on West Alta
street when the two machines, one
travelling east on Alta and the other
north on Ann, met at the intersection.
Neither driver saw the other car un-
til too late to avert the collision.
The two men in the truck were re-
turning from trip to the depot and
upon nearing the corner of Alta and
Ann, which is made blind by the Grab
Creek Lumber company's office, they
sounded their horn, according to wit
nesses of the accident. Miss Vey ev-
identity heard the warning, they say
hut lost her presence OF mind and was
unable to stop her car which was
travelling at fairly high rate OF
speed. The two machines collded In
the middle of the intersecting square
the touring car striking the truck
broadside. The impact was so great
that the two men in the truck were
hurled from their seats to the ground
Mcmillan striking with such force
that the lining to one of his lungs was
ruptured
The two wheels on the off side OF
the truck crumpled in under the cal
while the bed was badly splintered
The machinery of the engine was al
20 wrecked and altogether the vehicle
suffered badly.
The collision threw Mrs Vey for
ward in the car with such force tina
her teeth were forced through one o
he lips, making q wound which re
quired several stitches for closing. TIL,
big touring car, though put out o
commission temporarily did not suf

chine. The two lamps, the glas
front, the hood and the guards wer
all damaged more or less but the cos
of repairs, compared with that neces
sary for restoring the truck to its for

Immediately after the collision,
call was sent in to DIR. c. ]. Smith
who rushed to the scene in his aut

Young Mcmillan is much improve
today although he is still sufferin
from his injury.
A large crowd gathered at the seen
of the accident within a few minute
after it had occurred and there wa
considerable excitement prevailing 70
the time being. This is the secon
automobile accident within the las
ten days, and criticism of the spec
with which most cars are drive
through the streets, is becoming ger
eral An accident very similar to tn
one which occurred yesterday after
noon was only averted hardly an hou
afterwards by the skill with which tn
divers handled their cars.

SMALL LAD TELLS
A PITIFUL STORY
Parents Die, Twin Sister
Finds Home While He
Wanders

It's a cold, hard world for little
Clayton Fitz Gerald. fatherless,
motherless boy who was picked up
this morning on the streets by Chief
of Police John Kearney soon after
he had slid out of box car in which
he had travelled from Baker to this
city. Too small to do a mans work,
devoid of relatives who care for him,
penniless and friencless, he was cast
adrift, as he claims, upon a stormy
sea two weeks ago when his mother
died and since that time has been
blffeted cruelty about until by good
fortune he encountered the local Of
ficers who have arranged to provide
for him a home with the Boys and
Girls Aid Society of Portland.
The little fellow. who says he is
IA years of age but who looks hardly
more than g. tells a pathetic story
His father died nine years ago, he
says. and two weeks ago his mother
gave up the stern battle which she
had been fighting since deprived of
her husband. His twin sister was ta-
ken to La Grande where she is work
ing for her board in a family resi-
| dence and with nobody to give him
a home. he has been forced to rely
upon his own feeble efforts and the
charity of an Indifferent public in or
der to live. Finally he decided to
leave Baker, the scene of his miseries
and last night hid in a box car OF
a westbound freight train, thus find
ing his way to this city.
! After being discovered by Chief
| Kearney. he was turned over to Johr
Haley Jr., juvenile officer, and to.
morrow will be placed under the care
of the Boys and Girls Aid society
who happens to be working in Una
! tilla county at the present time.
