STATE MAY PROBE
WARNER WILL CASE

The following story appeared in
the Evening Telegram of yesterday
under Pendleton date line but was
not, however, written by the local
correspondent of that paper. 1t is
self explanatory:
After bobbing up two or three
times in the circuit court in Eastern
oregon and having once been before
the supreme court, it begins to ap-
pear as il the famous Mabel Warner
will forgery case will assume the
proportions of a state investigation,
as 1t became known today that a Pc
tition containing about so names has
been forwarded to Attorney General
Crawford, asking him to make the
Investigation. The petitioners assert
IT. is stated, that the criminal proceed
ings brought against Mabel Warner
! have for their basis spite work, she
having already been tried three times
on the alleged charge of forging
wills conveying to her valuable prop
erty in Eastern Oregon. The petition
ers allege that f. ID. Watts Is the in
| stigator of the criminal proceedings,
1t is stated, and that the present Dist
rict Attorney and his predecessor,
who is Circuit Judge Phelps. have
shown unusual activity in the prose
cution of the cases against the wo-
man."

NOTED LECTURER TO
TALK OF PICTURES

The city hall convention room was
well filled last evening by people who
turned out to hear the lecture on
Beautiful Sunny Italy" by DR.. Pres
ton w. Search and none went away
disappointed. Tonight DR.. Search
will lecture at the same place on the
subject of "The Greatest Pictures of
the World"
DR.. Search is a lecturer of much
interest. Stalwart in size and schol-
arly looking, he is a striking figure
upon the platform and he has trav-
eled so extensively as to give him
thorough command of his subject.
In his lecture on Italy last evening
the traveler-lecturer took his audi
ence to the various places of interest
along the sunny Mediterranean. With
the use of stereopticon pictures he
showed the life in Naples and other
cities, both among the rich and poor,
and also the life and scenes upon the
adjoining islands. He dwelt much
upon the historical features connected
with the scenes and perhaps the most
interesting part of his lecture was
that devoted to Mt VeSuvius and the
wonderful restored city of Pompeii.
DIR. Search's lecture on art is OF
wonderful interest and he will give
the same tonight by request of many
who heard him when he was in Pen
dleton some years ago and lectured
under the auspices or the Inland En-
pire Teachers association.

LOCAL SUPPORTERS
OF r. R., TAFT BUSY

Both Roosevelt and Taft support
ers in Pendleton are manifesting a
great deal of activity in creating SEN
timent for their candidate for the re-
publican nomination for president and
both have begun upon a campaign to
further the cause of their favorite in
Umatilla county. Recently, the
Roosevelt Republican club was or
ganized and this afternoon the Taft
Central Committee is meeting in the
Commercial association rooms and
will probably organize Taft club
along the lines adopted by their ri
walls.
4 meeting of the Roosevelt club
was called for last evening but at the
last minute was postponed on account
of the Preston w. Search lecture.
However, some of the committeeman
met and compared notes. Already
more than $50 members have been
secured in this city and the commit
teemen report many more waiting
to be enlisted.
This morning the Roosevelt nomi-
mating petitions were placed in cir
culation by j. B. Mumford and is be-
ing literally signed. The Taft petit
ton has been out for more than a
week and has also received many
signatures.

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE Threatens
TO PARALYzE ENTIRE BRITISH KINGDOM
Railroad Employees Refuse to Transport Troop Trains
Hordes of Poor Beg Government For Food

The poor people are already feel
ing the pinch of hunger and the gov
ernment is beseiged by vast hordes
of people facing starvation, who are
piteously begging for food
The railroads with their coal sup
plies running short, are commanding
al coal shipments and the officials
admit that unless the strike is speed
lily settled that the railroads will all
have to suspend operations, which
will complete the paralysis of busi-
ness.
Reports received here today from
Lancashire state that both union and
non-union men are out. 1t is also
now reported that workers in other
industries are considering a sympa-
thetic strike and the government is
making strenuous efforts to effect
some compromise. Little hope is en-
tertained, however, as neither the
strikers or the mine operators will
Weld a single point.
The home office is greatly alarmed
over the situation and has Officially
expressed the fear that one half OF
all the industries in the United King
dog may be forced TO suspend opera
tions unless the trouble is immediate
ly settled.

Peking, China. Mar. 2-Fires were
started in several sections of the city
tonight and are rapidly spreading.
The entire city is now threatened with
destruction by the flames.
Concentrating their strength on Har
Ting Flu, the mutinous Chinese SOL
diers today murdered a large num-
Der of French priests. The rioters
then returned to Peking, broke into
and robbed the palace of the father
of the dowager empress.
1t is now feared that President
Yuan will collapse and although he
shows great courage and insists that
he has the situation under control
little has been done effectively to re-
store order. He practically admitted
that he is unable to preserve order
tonight when he ordered out the re-
publican loops from Marking.
The president is taking every pre-
caution to prevent the rioters from
entering the foreign section of the
city, fearing the injury to foreigner
would bring about foreign interven
tion.
Open charges are being made tha
President Yuan caused the disturb
ances to be started to give him an ex
cuse to assume again the dictatorship
of the new republic. 1t is claimed
that he planned mild uprising ant

LOCAL PROPERTY owners WANT PORTLAND
PRICES ON future PAVING CONTRACTS

egon Independent Paving company,
years ago, started the reduction and
is keeping it up at lively rate. on
three large contracts for the paving
of the Westmoreland district yester-
day this company bid S1.40 a square
yard for standard asphalt pavement,
For paving Milwaukee street past
Westmoreland $1.75 is being charged.
There is CONSERVATION among the
other paving men, as they do not know
how long the war IS to continue. The
reduction of 80 per cent in the pri-
ce5 they have been receiving has cut
large slice from their profits. While
many are saying that the Oregon In
dependent Paving company cannot
make any profit by laying a standard
asphalt pavement for $1.45 a square
yard, everybody knows that paving
concern is not going to take contracts
for laying pavements amounting to
more than 100000 If there is not
some profit in the work.
While the paving contractors are
| warning, the property owners who
have not aleady been stung are jub-
liant They see an opportunity for q
| reasonable price and no doubt the
lowering of prices will greatly stim-
ulate public improvements in this
city. There are many large paving
projects before the council at the

FAMILIES EAT ONLY
BREAD AND WATER
Textile Workers Wages We're
Not Sufficient to
Live On

Washington, d. c., Mar 2.-Ex-
tremely poorly clad and their pitiful
condition made more pathetic by
their attitude Of wonder at their sur
roundings. the delegation of children
of the textile mill strikers of Law
renee. Mass, and about dozen men
and women strikers today testified
before the house committee on rules,
regarding the conditions that led to
the strike.
Two hundred persons were present
when the children began telling OF
the conditions surrounding their
home life and caused by the small
wages that are paid by the mill ope-
rators Among them were President
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, President Gold
ing of the Textile Mill Workers union
and several public officials of Law
renee
The first witness was Samuel Lip
son. a striker. He said that he per-
sonally went on strike because he
could not make a living for his fam
lily with the wages paid him.
This man graphically told how he
and his family at times were reduced
to bread and water as their only food
Speaking of the strike generally
he said that one of the main causes OF
the walkout was the fact that the ope-
rators, after the law fixing the week
work at fifty-four hours. speeded the
machinery of the mills up and reduc-
ed the wages to conform with the
hours. thus getting the same amount
Of work out of the men and women
for less money than they had pre-
viously paid.

Local property owners are now af-
ter lower prices on the future paving
work to be done in Pendleton and
the fact that Portland is now getting
paving work done at $1.45 per yard
1t is asserted by the local property
owners that the paving company
should operate here as cheaply as in
Portland. 1t is set forth that the
paving company already has its plant
here, will have its crew of workmen
assembled, will be able to get crushed
rock by means of a short haul and
will have the advantage of more IA
vorabe spring weather than is to be
had in Portland.
The following story relating to
paving prices in Portland is from the
Evening Telegram of yesterday:
Reduction in the price of street
paving from S1.75 to s1.45 during the
last year disclosed in the bids for
large paving projects received Tues
day by the council is an eye-opener
to property owners.
During the Lane regime prices for
hard surface improvements ranged
fom SO to $3.50 square yard. Dur
ing the Simon administration they
were lowered to s1.S5 and recently
under the Ellis amendment which
permits of competition between the
various classes of pavement, the
prices tumbled until now a first class
| improvement can be obtained fol
S1.45 per square yard
This reduction is due to a paving
war among the contractors. The Or.

PARS0NAGES ARE NOT
EXEMPT FROM TAXES

Attention is called by Assessor C.
p. strain to the fact that under the
present rulings no church property
is exempt from taxation save the ac-
tual churches and the ground upon
which they rest. Parsonages and all
other property owned by churches
must be assessed and taxed.
BY action of the state tax commits
sion the rule that in the past has ap-
piled to fraternal orders is applied to
all religious organizations. Lodges
are exempt for their halls or actual
property used during the meetings.
But any other property owned must
be taxed.
If church people in paying taxes
this year find their taxes larger than
in the past the new ruling will ac-
count for the same, says the assessor.

PETERSON HAS PRAISE
FOR GREAT COM NON Err

Enthused over the prospect for
democratic success in the national ell
ection this fall and admiring W. j.
Bryan as never before Will NJ Peter
son, democratic chairman for UNA
tilla county is back from Portland
where he attended the Bryan meeting
night before last and also attended
the various functions given in his
honor.
According to Peterson the Bryan
meeting in the Gipsy Smith auditor
ium Thursday night was a monster
affair and the Great Commoner won
vociferous applause from republicans
as well as democrats. There were
10000 people in the audience and at
least that number was turned away
because of lack OF room, The reac-
tionary republicans cheered when
Bryan grilled Roosevelt and the pro-
gressives loudly applauded when he
criticised President Taft.
AS to the situation regarding the
democratic nomination for president,
Peterson says the sentiment in this
state is plainly favorable to Woodrow
Wilson. However there is consider
able Clark sentiment and there are
Harmon boosters. Peterson himself
is now Bryan man and predicts that
is the democratic convention is well
divided among the candidates now
mentioned the gathering may stam-
pede to the Nebraskan.
The Umatilla county chairman was
a member of the reception committee
that met Bryan at the Union depot
to escort him to the Multnomah ho-
tel. He was also with the auto party
that escorted the distinguished visi-
tor about the city and to Portland
heights during the afternoon of that
day. Accordingly he was in position
to observe the democratic leader al
close range.

FIGURES JUGGLED In
SO-CALLED INCREASE
Mill Owners Ignore Law
in Fixing Hours Of
Working Week

Lawrence, Mass. Mar. 2.-After
analyzing the offer of the textile mill
owners to settle the strike on basis
of a so-called five per cent increase
in wages, leaders of the striking
workers today announced that the
offer would be rejected, asserting
that the advance is, in reality, less
than two per cent, as the mill owners
figures are based on fifty-six hour
week instead of a fifty-four hour
week, as was obtained by law
which recently became effective and
which caused the owners to try to
decrease wages. They declare that
they will stick out for their original
demand of a fifteen per cent increase.
The committee declared that the
wage increase offer made by the
owners Is an Insult to intelligence"
and that they will this afternoon for
mally repudiate the offer of settle
ment and that the war for a living
wage will be renewed.
