Mayor Jones Of Redmond Was
This Morning Found Guilty Of
Gambling by a Jury Of His
Own Fellow Citizens.
GOVERNOR WINS A VICTORY
When Informed Of Jenesi Conviction
This Morning Wired Him Demand
Ing His Resignation and that Of the
City Marshal Sheriff BaIfOur Of
Crook County Is Next on the List
for Examination"

Receiving advlces from ]. Frank
Burke, who was appointed special dis
trlct attorney to prosecute violators OF
the gambling laws at Redmond, that
he had secured the conviction of Mayor
Jones, Governor West today sent a tel
egram to the mayor and also the city
marshal in which he declared that un-
less they resign he will declare mar
tial law at Redmond.
The governor had asked both to en-
force the law, and finding they refused
he saw to It that Burke was appointed
special prosecutor, and that members
of the law enforcement league were
empowered to gather evidence. After
weaving a net about the mayor Burke
secured his conviction early this morn
ing, and others then pleaded guilty.
"I am not going to allow the law
abiding people of Redmond to be gov
erned by lot Of tinhorns," said the
governor upon receiving the telegram,
and he Immediately dispatched an
other asking for the resignation Of the
mayor and marshal, and saying that
unless they did resign lie would de-
clare martial law in the town.
at is now up to Sheriff Balfour of
Crook county to do something" he
continued. "While Mayor Jones stood
around declining to enforce the law,
and offering excuses for his failure,
evidence was gathered which convicted
him. / have sent for copy of the
bond of Sheriff BaTour, and as soon
as It comes I will have the attorney
general sue him fir failure to enforce

Declaring that the site for the East
ern Oregon asylum is unsuitable for
an institution Of that kind, that the
water is bad, that It can not be con-
Quoted with success when compared
with the institution here, and that he
does not want to be connected with
failures, DR.. M. X. Hall of La Grande,
who was recently appointed superin-
itendent OF the institution, has resigned.
The board received the letter several
days ago, but until today did not deem
IL advisable to make 1t public. The
board has offered the superlntendency
Of the institution TO Dr, j, r. CAL
breath Of Portland, formerly superin-
tendent of the asylum here, but 1t is
feared he will not accept. Should he
not, then the board will be handicap
ped in securing a fit man as superin-
tendent.
DR.. Halls letter Is as follows:
ITO the best of my ability, l have
gone over the history of the establish
ment Of this institution by Its promot-
ers, through the instrumentality of the
state legislature, the choice of is loca-
tion, ETC., as well as having formed
an estimate of its future history
an my opinion the establishment of
this institution especially at its pres
.ent location with only infected water
available, ETC., was huge mistake.
1 predict thatit will be failure either
from the standpoint OF economy or eff
ficlency, when compared with the mag
nificent institution at Salem, especially
as the latter is now conducted. l mean
that 1t will be impossible to maintain

Dr. Gaylord H. Patterson, wife and
daughter Louise returned Friday from
a month pleasantly spent in Alaska
and points on the west coast of Can
ada. The party took the steamer from
Seattle, going by what is known as
the inland route. This afforded a splen-
did opportunity Of seeing the numer-
GUS glaciers and other sights Of which
the country abounds. They visited
sltka and other ports along the coast
Of Alaska and returning as far as Van
couver, b. G., they went east over the
Canadian Pacific railroad as far as
Calgary, where Banff and Lake Louise
we're visited From this point the
party came home by way Of the s., p

lir Patterson is dean Of the VIII
lamette university and is much en-
couraged by the prospect Of a pros
porous year for that institution.

ita of less than one and one-half times

ent conditions, 1t will be impossible to
maintain as high standard Of health
among the patients at Pendleton as 1t
is at Salem.

Another, and more personal rea-
son, is that the quarters destined to
harbor the families Of the superinten-
dent and members of the staff at the
Pendleton hospital are not at all fitted
for the occupancy Of families having

unlimited opportunity to drink pure
water and not that which at its best
must contain boiled germs.
"In my opinion the third and great
er reason is that a man experienced
in organization of institutional work
should be chosen, If he is available. "
How Site Was Selected.
The site was selected by Jay Bower
man when he was acting governor.
Secretary of State Benson was absent
IN California, and that gave Bowerman
two votes on the board. The new
board declared the site unfit for an
asylum and the question was one
which was Investigated by the legls-
lature The board appointed a COM
mittee of physicians then to investi-
gate It, and they upheld the board.
The legislature appointed a COM
mittee, and 1t upheld Bowerman and
the site was approved and an appro-
priation made for the construction of
the building. At the time It was OPP
emily charged that Bowerman selected
the site in order to get the vote of
Senators Burgess and Barrett, Of Una
tilla, for him as president Of the
senate.
The state board has expended $780,
900 on the institution. The resigna-
tlon of Hall, and his letter attacking
the site and institution, It is declared
is going to hamper it in securing ap-
preparations at the next Legislature

Shanghai, Aug II. Turbulent
scene, which may end in another rev.
ohtion, will result, 1t is predicted
here today, from the execution Of two
prominent generals by orders OF
President Yuan Shi Kal. The two gem
erals we're suspected by President
Yuan of opposing his continued ac-
QUESTION of power, and he ordered
their execution without a hearing.
Yuans dictatorship tactics are said
to be responsible for the threatened
outbreak, and the executions today
added fuel to theflame.
The two generals, who arrived here
but recently from Hankow, are said to
have come to Shanghai on other than
government business, and denied the
charges made by Yuan to the end.
TO make matters worse, relations
between DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the most
popular man in the country, and Pres
ldent Yuan shl Kal are strained. DR..
Sun believes and openly charges that
the president seeks complete dictator

generally accepted by the natives.

there have decresd that President
Yuan must die, and emissarles are
reported en- route to the capital to

MRS. SMITH
RUN over
BY AN AUTO
is BADLY BRUISED AND PRETTY
LAME, BUT WILL SOON BE AL
RIGHT, ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN
cow CREEK CANYON.

Many of the friends of DR.. and Mrs
Carlton Smith were much worried yes
terday when the rumor reached the
city that Mrs. Smith had been seriously
hurt in an auto accident in Cow Can
yon, southern Oregon. The report
reached the Journal office from Port
land shortly afternoon, and 1t at once
telegraphed to Grants Pass and Rose
burg in an effort to get definite news,
but no answer was received until af-
ter the Journal had gone to press. A
United press wire from Canyonvllle
said Mrs. Smith was very seriously
hurt and the Journal so set the story
but learning just at press time that
Mrs. Smith was home, and not SER
lously hurt, killed the story, to keep
from alarming her friends. 1t seems
though that there was plenty Of foun-
dation for the story for Mrs. Smith
was really hurt very badly. 1t seems
that in coming up hill in Cow Can
yon the brake refused to work and
Mrs. Smith, when It became necessary
to stop the machine blocked the wheels
The car backed over the block and the
road being very narrow, Mrs. Smiths
clothing was caught on the fender
She was pulled down and the car ran
over her from her shoulders to her
knees. She was unconscious for a
time, but while sore, bruised and lame
will soon be all right again. 1t was
a very close case and lucky escape
After the accident Mrs. Smith was
taken with as much haste as possible
to the first railroad station, making
the balance Of the trip to Salem on
the train.
The doctor continued his journey in
the auto and while descending the five
mile grade into Cow creek canyon near
Glendale, he lost control of the auto
which began to run at terrific speed
down the steep hill 1t gained in mo-
mentum until a speed of so miles an
hour was attained, when in rounding
sharp curve, the doctor steered Il
off the grade and into the brush, max.
ing a leap OF several yards into The
air in doing So The car was final,
gotten out Of the brush and was rur
into Roseburg by its own power where
on account of the dangerous condition
Of the roads by reason Of the recen
heavy rains, the machine was aban
doned.
Mrs. Smith reached home yesterdal
and the doctor arrived home thii
morning.
DR.. and Mrs. w. H. Byrd. who mad'
the trip with them, are expected t.
arrive home this afternoon or tonight
