ON COLONEL GUFFEY

mittee is Insult to
Quakers

Lincoln, Nebr., Jan. 1S.-Despite his
efforts to GUST Colonel Guffey, of
Pennsylvania, from membership of
the Democratic National committee,
at the committee meeting in Wash
ington last week, William Jennings
Bryan returns to his attack on Cuff
fey in the Commoner today.
The article says:
when the reader reviews the his
tory of the contest he is not sur
prised that the democratic party finds
difficulty in conducting a successful
national campaign under the leader
ship of a committee that can insult
the democrats of Pennsylvania by
forcingSupon them such a man as Cuff
fey.
Some of Guffey's strength came
from committeeman representing the
same predatory influences that are
backing Guffey. These men menace
the democratic partys success"

TACOMA WOMAN CHASES
AND CATCHES A BURGLAR

Tacoma, Jan. 1S.-Grappling with
burglar and leading in the chase
which finally resulted in his arrest,
Mrs. Sidney T. Palmer, a prominent
club woman, had an exciting expert
ence yesterday afternoon. Returning
home after a brief absence, she found
evidence of the visit of a burglar and
started to telephone when she met the
intruder descending the stairs. Seiz-
ing his coat tails with one hand she
tried to close the front door with the
other, but the burglar squeezed
through and ran, with Mrs. Palmer in
pursuit. A block away a crowd of
school boysjoined in the chase and
the thief was forced to take refuge in
a barn. Mrs. Palmer summoned the
police while the boys kept guard and
the officers found the burglars feet
sticking out of barrel into which he
had dived head foremost in his mad
flight and was unable to extricate
himself. About $400 worth of jewel
ry which he had thrown away while
running was recovered. The prisoner
gave his name as Charles Kaufman
and admitted the crime.

B|RDSFROM ALL \. ".
At POULTRY SHOW
Entries Arriving for Exhibit
Which Opens Here
Monday

Birds sfrom all over the northwest
will be entered In the poultry show
which will open in the armory hall
next Monday. This fact is now assur-
ed, Secretary Brown having received
announcement from many fanciers in
Washington and Oregon to the effect
that they would send birds to the ex-
hibition here.
Three entries were received today
from a distance. George w. Speight
of Hubbard. entering three pens, w.
J. Myers of Portland entering ten
birds and p 'sencrantz of Colfax en-
tering several pens.
r. w. Fletcher, treasurer of the
Umatilla- Morrow Poultry association,
returned last evening from a visit to
the Walla Walla show now in pro-
gress and announces that many of
the exhibitors there will send their
birds here the first of next week.
Frost Nips Do Not Bar.
He also brings the information that
the larger number of the birds enter
ed there have been frost nipped and
that the judges are not barring such
birds from competition. Many of the
fanciers in this county have in some
manner received the impression that
frost-nipped birds would not be con-
sidered in the judging of the entries
and the local show men wish to dispel
that idea.

SENIOR GIRLS AND
BOY SOPHS BEAT

Before an enthusiastic audience Of
students, probably the last games that
will ever be played in the old high
school gymnasium were pulled off
last evening, the different classes fur
nishing the participants. In the
girls contest, the seniors demonstrat-
ed their superiority over the juniors
by emerging with the long end of
% to score while in the boys bat
tie the sophomores trimmed the fresh
men by the score of IL to s.
Starring among the girls who mix
ed in the fray was Miss Muriel Sailing.
the senior forward. whose basket
throwing called to mind the days when
Hazel RAIDER captained the girls
team. The boys game revealed a new
shining light in Cecil Hampton,
freshman, and his showing last night
warrants the prediction that he will
be holding down a berth on the regu-
lar high school team with little
more practice.
With the commencement of activi
ties preliminary to the construction
of a new high school building, the
old gynasium will be turned into a
store house for materials, and the
high school authorities are endeavor-
ing to secure the Armory for use by
the school as an athletic hall during
the remainder of the winter.

Fire Committee Advises
Council to Provide Mod
ern System.
TWENTY STATIONS URGED
After Consideration, Board Believes
Insurance Reduction Will Pay Cost
OF Equipment and Installation I'm
Short Time.

In all probability Pendleton will
soon have a modern and up to date
fire alarm system, the present coun-
Gil seeming much more favorably dis
posed towards the oft-repeated rec
ommendation of Fire Chief Vaughan
than has been any council in a num-
ber of years. At the regular meet
ing last night the council accepted the
report of the fire committee on the
chiefs petition, which report advised
system of not less than twenty box
es, a new 1900 bell and an auto chem
ical hose wagon.
The committee agreed with Chief
Vaughan that the installation of such
a system would reduce insurance
premiums to such an extent that the
purchase price would be saved in a
short time. sDuring the next week,
figures will be prepared showing the
cost of the proposed system and the
saving which would be made to the
public. and it is expected that favor
able action will follow
Chief Vaughan has repeatedly in
the last few years urged the installa-
ton OF a modern alarm system but
his recommendation has always been
accorded a>cold reception until made
to the present administration and he
now has hopes that his persistence
will win.
The Report.
Following is the report in full made
by the fire committee last evening:
Janpary II, 1912.
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council of the City of Pendleton.
Gentlemen:-We, your committee,
to whom the within petition was re-
ferred, hereby recommend the install
lation of an up-to-date fire alarm sys-
tenn, at once. consisting of not less
than twenty (20) boxes to be distrib-
uted in and about the city of Pendle-
ton at different points to be desig-
mated by the chief of the fire depart
ment and the fire committee. The
installation of such a system will ma
terially reduce the insurance rates
about seven per cent in the business
district and about ten per cent in the
residence district, so that the system
will pay for itself in a short time, be-
sides giving added protection. The
striking apparatus now in use is to
be applied on the purchase price of
the new apparatus. We would also
recommend the purchase of 1900
pound fire bell, the bell now in use
to be applied on the purchase price.
And we also recommend that in the
near future the city of Pendleton pur-
chase an auto chemical hose wagon
to carry at least 1000 feet of hose,
which will still further reduce our
insurance rates. We find that much
smaller towns than Pendleton have
such system in operation and same
has proven very successful.
