The procession of visitors halted.

SECRETARY OF STATE
WOULD STOP ABUSES

Salem. Or, April lin his efforts
to weed out the undesirable corpora
tons from oregon, Secretary of State
Ben w. Olcott has prepared a list of
questions which he will send to the
officers of every corporation whose
operations are open to question. There
is no law compelling the corporations
to answer the questions, but Secre-
tary Olcott is proceeding on the the
DRY that reliable corporations will
have no objection to giving the in
formation he requests, and If others
do not then he will use publicity to
put them of business.
Under the plan, which is but a tenn
porary scheme to be used until ade-
uuate law. are enacted, whenever the
secretary of state receives a request
for information about a certain cor
poration he will send the officers of
the corporation this list of questions,
and if the questions are answered the
information will be given to the en-
ouirer. otherwise the name of the
corporation and the circumstances
will be given out to the newspapers.
The questions cover every phase of
a corporations activity and financial
conditin, and to what extent 1t is SELL
ing stock. There are 40 questions in
the list.

THIRD Pen TERM
FOR ALBERT PIXLER

Albert Pixler must go back to the
~penitentiary in which he has already
served two terms. Pronounced not
guilty of the charge in one indictment.
he was tried again yesterday on a
special indictment and at 10 o'clock
last night the jury returned with a
verdict of guilty of the larceny of a
horse as charged. He will probably
receive sentence tomorrow.
PiXler is an old offender though
young in years and, according to the
officers, is a confirmed horse thief.
His record is on fill eat the sheriff's
office and it shows that in 1900 when
he was only a boy of 10 he was sent
up to the penitentiary for two years
from Union county on a horse steal
ing charge. Seven years later he was
again convicted of the same charge
in the same court and sentenced to
five years.
The recent grand jury returned five
true bills against him and he has been
mixed up in a number of other sim
liar transactions, sufficient evidence
of which to convict him was wanting

MAKES PLEA FOR
A CITY BEAUTIFUL
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
GIVES ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
Urges Removal of Bill Boards and
Cleaning Up of Vacant Lots, Back
Yards and Alleys and CURLING of
Streets.

Although only a small audience was
out to hear him last evening. How
ard Evart Weed. the noted landscape
with as much eloquence as though
the assembly room of the city hall had
been crowded to capacity. Illustrating
his lecture with splendid stereopticon
views, he showed steps, unattended
by any great expense of money or la
Dor, whereby the citizens of Pendleton
could make their city a place good
tc look upon. Incidentally, he point
ed out some of the improvements
planned for the making of Roundup
Park a thing of beauty.
Among the suggestions he made
last night were the removal of hid
eous bill boards, the cleaning up of
vacant lots. the back yards and alleys
the curbing of streets and the plant
ing of uniform trees in these curbs
and the eradicating of all eye sores
and unsightly places in the city.
In the course of his remarks upon
the identification of a home, he
pointed u hat many tree butchers
mutilate a tree in order to try to
make it grow against its nature.
This was an argument against the cut
ting of the tops out of trees for he de-
clared hat any tree or shrub is most
beautiful when allowed to fulfill the
law Of its nature. Only dead and
useless branches should be cut away,
he declared.
Mr.. Weed also appealed to the city
to make a public playground for the
children, declaring the need for one
to be imperative to any city of any
size.
His views illustrated his arguments,
showing street scenes before and az
ter improvement. Altogether his lee
ture was extremely entertaining as
well as instructive and it is regrettable
that more citizens did not attend.

GIRL BEATS \ WASHER.
Offender Gets Twenty Days. Besides
a Pair Of Black Eyes.

New York.-When John Fogila
was arranged before Magistrate Har-
ris in the Harlem Court, charged
with following and annoying a school
girl, his face was a map of chaos.
His eyes were closed, his nose and
lips swollen and several of his teeth
were loose from the beating he re-
ceiyed from the complainant, Miss
Carrie Thompson. 16 years old.
Miss Thompson told her father
several days ago she had frequently
been followed, and he and Detective
Giery kept her in sight. Foglia. it is
said, appeared n called out:
Hello. chicken!'
Miss Thompson sailed into him
with her umbrella and her fists and
her father helped her. Giery had
difficulty in separating the three and
placed Foglia under arrest.
Foglia was sent to the workhouse
for twenty days.

Gets Wild Turkey Eggs.

Ralph Rowland. exchange teller at
the First National Bank, has sent to
the states pheasant farm at Corvallis
for some wild turkey eggs which he
will hatch out here. He does not in
tend to TRIP to plant these birds in the
woods for game purposes but will mix
the wild stock with his tame birds
for the purpose of strengthening his
flock. A letter received this morn
ing by c. X. Cranston from Gene
Simpson, superintendent of the farm,
announced that the eggs had been
shipped and, also brought the intel
ligence that the railroads have vol
unteered to transport free of charge
all game birds with attendants over
the state. a concession of much ben
eft to the state commission.

In 1882 he lost the use Of one eye
through some unknown cause.
Several days ago he walked from
his home to Strausstown. a distance
OF two miles, during a fierce storm,

efficiency in the program Of President
Taft, should be asked of congress. The
effect was immediate. Every depart
ment began work at once to investi-
gate its own expenditures and to de-
wise ways and means of curtailing ex-
travagance. The result was that con-
gress received the lowest estimates it
had seen in years. This was followed
by reduction in appropriations to
correspond, always allowing for the
natural growth of the governments
activities, which represented net
saving to the taxpayers of the coun-
try.
President Taft was not, however,
satisfied that all had been done that
| could be done. He realized that the
departments of the government, like
individuals, are naturally prone to be
| proud of their own achievements and
| by reason of their familiarity with
their own endeavors, often insisted
/ that their work was more important
; than the work of the other depart
ments, relatively speaking. In order
| to correct that evil he asked congress
to give him 100000 for commission
of disinterested experts to investigate
and report on the business of the gov"
| ernment with a view to further econ
| omy and efficiency. Thus came into
| official being the commission Of that
| name.
This commission, among other du-
| ties, was directed to prepare the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the gov
ernment on a budget" basis, which is
| the system followed by practically all
the leading nations of the world ex-
cept the United States. Under this
system it is possible for the humblest
citizen to analyze the finances of the
| government at any time and to lay his
finger upon the responsible political
| party in the event of extravaganza or
| of stinginess. The system under
which appropriations for the govern
ment of the United States have been
made has even detied the experts in
their endeavors to unravel the tangled
skeins of expenditures, so that it is
fair statement to say that no citizen
of this country up to the present time
has ever thoroughly understood where
his taxes were expended.
The economy, and efficiency commits
sion has already saved to the tax
payers Of the country more than 49,
100000 annually by its suggestions
and by the time it has completed its
! work it is believed ten times this
sum can be saved annually to the tax
payers. In the matter Of railroad fare
for government officials alone, it has
found that $12,000,O00 was expended
in a single year at the highest pre-
vailing railroad rates. At least a
fourth of this can be saved by the
application of business methods such
as President Taft has applied and has
insisted shall be applied to all the de-
partments of the government.
