Tien Tsin. Jan. 2.-Imperial troops
stationed at Ian Chow. the capital of
Kwang Su, in North China, have de-
serted the Manchus and Joined the
rebels.
Tomorrow under the command of
General Wang, once one of Premier
Yuan's trusted deputies. they will
start to march on Peking. Simultan-
eously the revolutionists in the south
will begin their northward march on
Peking. The capitals fall seems in
evitable.
Thousands of troops have deserted,
comprising practically all the i'm
perial army in Kwang Su. AS they
heretofore have been the most loyal
their desertion is severe blow to the
throne. other troops have followed
and the wholesale DETECTION is taken
as sign OF the ultimate total disin-
tergation OF the Manchu dynasty.
The troops were persuaded to desert
by the rebels who promised to pay
them regularly, something that the
government is not doing. 1t is re-
ported the dowager empress is fleeing
toward Russia from Peking.

WILDE EVIDENCE STOLEN

Portland, Ore, Jan. 2.-The Off

prosecution chance to get out of a
hole. They had no case and will use
this means to get from under
In Cameron's office desks were
broken open, bankbooks holding evil

DYNAMITE CAPS
ARE AGAIN FOUND

Who is responsible for the dyna-
mite caps being found on the street
and is their appearance the result of
carelessness or malicious intent?
These questions arose several weeks
ago when several of the harmless
looking little explosives were found
near the Pendleton hotel and they
arose again this morning when Chief
of Police Gurdane picked up one in
front of the city hall.
While the caps are so insignificant
in appearance they are highly de-
structive and would cause consider
able damage and injury in all prob
ability should they be struck by a
steel wagon tire or the iron shod hoof
OF horse.
The opinion Of the officers Is that
the caps have fallen from the pockets
OF some careless laborer who has
been working with dynamite and. to
prevent repetition of such danger
Gus negligence they are making a
searching injury to find the person or
persons responsible.

Taft is Alarmed.

Washington, d. c., Jan. Not
withstanding the attempt in admins
tration circles to create the impress
sion that President Taft's campaign
for another nomination is proceeding
along the lines desired, it has re-
manned for the president to give evil
dence of his fear that Senator La Fol-
lette will deprive him of that honor.
The progressive republican cam
paign committee has known all along
that in Ohio there exists a progress
sive sentiment which is so strong that
ii the president remains in the race
for the presidential nomination he
will find himself in the exceedingly
embarrassing position of going into
the republican convention without a
solid delegation from his own state.
The administration up to few days
ago sought to give the impression that
this progressive sentiment was a mere
furry. Senator La Follette's speech
es in Ohio, however have so thor
oughly cemented the sentiment against
Taft that the presidents advisers have
at least been forced to admit the ne
cessity of sending the president back
home in the hope that he can stem the
tide which long ago turned against
him.
1t would be impossible to over-esti-
mate the advantage of the progressive
cause in going into the national con-
vention with a very large percentage
OF the delegates from President
Tafts state. In strong contrast to the
feeling of hostility toward President
Taft in his own state will be the un-
animous support which will be accord
ed Senator La Toilette by the dele
CATION from Wisconsin. On the one
hand will be the president of the Unit
ed States, unable to control his own
delegation. and on the other will be
Senator La Toilette, not only sup
ported by the delegates from his own
state but also supported by those from
Ohio.

ECONOMY WILL BE
new MAYORS AIM
To Cut Expenses and I'm
prove Affairs of
the City

Economy is to be the keynote of
the new city administration, accord
ing to Mayor Matlock who yesterday
took the reins of government from
the hands of the retiring mayor, E. ].
Murphy. my policy will be to con-
duct the affairs of the city in busi
ness-like manner" said the new chief
executive of Pendleton in speaking
with a representative of this paper.
Wherever it is possible to cut down
expenses in any department 1 intend
to make an attempt TO do so in order
to maintain the city on a sound bas-
is"
Speaking further on his policy, May
or Matlock declared he intended to
fulfill all of his prediction promises
and to live up to his platform as an
nounced to the voters before they cast
their ballots. The principal planks in
this platform We're a continuance of
the strict regulation of saloons, the
regulation of public service corpor-
atoms, better lights and water, pro-
gressive city improvements, a strict
enforcement of all laws and ordi-
nances, employment of home labor in
public improvements and square
deal for all.
The new mayor will preside over
his first meeting of the new council
tonight, which meeting will however
not be an official one. 1t will be in
the form of caucus to determine the
appointive officers of the city.
Indications today continue to IA
vor b. Gurdane, the present in
cumbent, for chief of police while the
present holder of the position of re-
corder, Thomas Fitz Gerald, also
seems to be gavorite although ru-
mors have it that Justice of the Peace
Joe H. Parkes will be in the running.
Other men mentioned for the position
are G. w. Coutts, BILLY" Chamber
lain, Norbourne Berkeley and Harry
Bickers.

CUPID MAKES POOR SHOWING HERE IN
SPR|NGTIME BUT GETS RESULTS IN WINTER

Spring marriages are not popular
in Umatilla county despite the age
worn theory that the time of birds
and flowers is the most productive of
holy alliances between man and wo-
man, a consultation of the records at
the county court house proving that
the latter months of the year 1911
have been far more satisfactory to
little Dan Cupid than those in which
young mans fancy is supposed in
poetic circles to- turn loveward.
June, the far-famed month of we'd
dings, only led seventeen couples in
this county to the altar, while cold,
bleak December the period when the
heart fires are credited with burning
low and the passions with being in
Information, eclipsed all of its eleven
predecessors with 20 licenses issued,
or an average of more than one for
each judicial day.
The three other high months from
the marriage point of view were the
three Immediately preceding Decem-
ber. September ranking second with
81, October third with 23. and No
vember fourth with 10, all of which
seems to indicate that the swains OF
the great wheat county believe in the
sentiments OF the old song, when
the Harvest Days Are Over, Nellie
Dear"
A total of 2O7 licenses were issued
in the twelvemonth just past, the

QUAKE ROCKS WINDY CITY
Residents of Northern Illinois Towns
Are Badly Frightened.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 2.-Chicago and
surrounding territory for a wide
scope. today were rocked fearfully by
an earthquake. which is not believed
to have resulted in any damage fur
ther than breaking dishes and sim
liar property. The underground rum
bling was very distinct and frightened
many people.
At Joliet several large buildings are
reported to have been rocked to such
an extent as to badly frighten the citi-
zens. The penitentiary convicts here
were thrown into a small panic by the
quake.
Other towns reporting having felt
the shock were: DeKalb, Lockport
Yorkyille and Waukegan and all
northern Illinois. This is the first
quake felt here since 1900.

RUSSIANS STILL MURDER
Bayonet and Drag Bodies of Hanged
Persian Patriots.

Tabriz, Persia, Jan. 2.-Fearful re-
prisals, by Russian troops, continued
today and eight more Persian patri-
OTIS were hanged because they tried
to oppose the invasion of their country
by the Russians without the formality
of declaring war.
Their bodies were dragged through
the streets and repeatedly bayonetted
by the Russians and it is feared that
hundreds of others will be treated in
a similar manner, to show that Rus
sia will not tolerate any opposition.
1t is firmly believed in official cir
cles that the Russians have planned
to hang eight Persians every day un-
til their lust for blyood will have been
thoroughly satisfied.

uting to the yearly sacrifice to Hymen
as follows: January, Is couples; Feb
ruary, II; March, 10; April. 13; May,
13; July, 16, and August IA.
Not Upto Last Lear.
Despite the fact that many more
Pendleton couples abandoned the
ways of The single during the year
1911 than during the year 1910, the
county as a whole did not furnish as
many license fees as its predecessor.
During 1910, the county clerk grant
ed 25S of the little passports or 53
more than he did in 1911.
December of that year, like the one
just past, claimed high honors, 33 IL
censes having been issued during the
course of its 81 days.
Sixty Divorce Suits.
But while the divinity of marriage
has been claiming his annual toll, the
god of marital discord has not been
inactive, but. on the other hand. has
been on the job all the time. Through
his agency sixty divorce suits have
been filed in the local court and
while but about two thirds that num-
ber of DEGREES have been granted, II
shows that sufficient domestic un-
happiness exists within the bounds OF
the county to require an Ella Wheeler
Wilcox or Dorothy Dix to ascertain
the why and wherefore and to per
remedial prescriptions.

WOULD PROSECUTE LAWYERS
WHO AID TRUST FORMATION

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. Federal
legislation that will make lawyers,
who aid in the formation of trusts,
equally guilty, with the corporation,
is proposed here today by Governor
Marshall.
Some lawyers" he said, assume
that their duties to their clients in
volve the right for them to be parties
to criminal transactions. They
should be held equally responsible"
Governor Marshall first broached
the matter at the jackson club ban
quet last night. Today he amplified
his remarks by saying:
This would be a step in the So
luton of the big business problem.
Lawyers should be made assesscries
before the fact, for a corporations
violation of the antitrust laws. In
case the trust is proven guilty the
lawyer should also, the same as a
drug clerk who knowingly sells poison
for a murder"
