Desperate, Rescue Party Find Bod

Tacoma, Wash, March 21.-Hav-
ing found the dead bodies of Depu-
ties Colin Mckenzie and A. V. Ell
mer, who were evidently murdered
several days ago by John Turnow,
whom they were trying to capture to
answer to charges of numbering his
two nephews John and William Bau-

teen men have temporarily abandon
ed the chase for the hermit bandit
aud are endeavoring 10 recover the
officers bodies from grave in
which they were discovered by d
member of a searching party, in the
woods near Matlock. Mason county.
It will take three or four days to
bring the bodies in.

We're closely pressing the murderer
and he finally forced the animals to
abandon his trail by shooting at
them.
Indications are that the two depu-
ties were shot from ambush. by Tur-
now, and dragged thirty feet, where
they were buried.
The nature of the wilderness, in
which Turnow is hiding makes his
capture almost impossible and it
will be several days at least before he
can be apprehended.

COAST STATES PLANK

Advocating Alaskan
Improvement

Washington. March Ex-senator
La Toilette will ask for Pacific coast
support on platform of government
ownership and operation of Alaskan
coal mines and Alaskan steamship
lines, by way of Pacific coast ports,
through the Panama canal TO New
York.
Senator La Follette's aggressive
fight is on. His next personal appeal
will be to voters in Nebraska and
then to the Pacific coast states.
He believes his platform will win
for him Oregon, Washington Califor-
MIA and other western states.
1t is believed that part of Senator
La Follettes plan is to transport ma
chinery through the Panama canal to
open the Alaska mining country and
to use the canal machinery.
He will probably start west about
April 1st. He will make some speech
es in Washington, but his big fight
will be made in Oregon and Califor-

officials are today certain that 1O5 of
the miners who were entombed in No

which was yesterday wrecked by an
explosion of gas, are all dead.
The relief train has returned to

Twenty bodies only have been re-

and rescue work is very hazardous.
A great stack of coffins are piled
up just outside the entrance of the
mine, awaiting the finding of bod

COAL STRIKE MENACES
POWER OF LIBERALS
Asquith May Lose Control
of Government; Mann
Is Jailed

London, March 21.-Unless Premier
Asquith accepts their amendment to
his minimum wage bill, the miners
will continue to paralyze the country's
commerce and jeopardize the political
power of the liberal ministry, by con-
tinuing to strike, according to an ul-
timatum delivered to Asquith. The
amendment provides for a minimum
wage of five shillings per day for
adults and two shillings for minors.
If Premier Asquith does not accept
the miners ultimatum the downfall
of the liberal ministry is predicted.
If the laborites and Irish national
lists were opposed to the bill and COM
bined with the conservatives they
could defeat the government.
Declaring that the crisis. resulting
in the coal strike is the gravest in
the history of the British nation and
characterizing Premier Asquith's
minimum wage bill as extremely un-
wise and no remedy for the situation,
a. J. Balfour, leader of the conser-
vative party in parliament. moved
the rejection of the bill by the house
of commons today.
Because he urged British soldiers
to refuse to shoot their fathers and
brothers, if called on duty in the coal
strike, Tom Mann, leader of the So
cialist-labor party was arrested and
remanded to Jail today without bail.
He Is charged with melting the SOL
diery to mutiny. His hearing was
postponed. The government is anxious
to keep Mann in jai! because he ad-
vocated a general strike in May.

|. E. YOUNG IN RACE
FOR SCHOOL SUP'T.

County School superintendent
Frank X. Welles bids fair to have op-
position at the April primaries if re-
ports reaching Pendleton today from
the east end of the county are true
and there is reason to believe they
are. These reports say that I. E
Young, principal of the Milton schools
has been prevailed upon to enter the
race for the republican nomination
and will arrive in Pendleton this eve
ming to file his declaration with the
county clerk.
For some time past, efforts have
been made to bring out DIR. w. H
Bleakney, former president of PEN
dleton academy and now pastor of
the combined churches at Freewater,
but it is said that he has finally re-
fused to enter politics. Young has
also been solicited by his friends for
the past few weeks to become an op-
ponent of the present superintendent
and, it is said, that Dr. Bleakney's
declination to take the field has re-
suited in his acquiescence.

COUNCIL MUST DECIDE HOW MUCH BAWL|NG
! SUKEY' MAY INDULGE IN WITHIN CITY

When does q bawling COW become
a public nuisance and how many
chickens can a resident of Pendleton
keep in his back yard for domestic
purposes? These questions form the
keynote of problems presented to the
council last night which varied the
usual routine of headache makers to
which the august body is accustomed.
DIR. l. u. Temple, city health officer,
was responsible for the injection Of
these new species of worries into the
aldermanic turmoil when in the
course of his report on the sanitary
measures he Is taking to preserve the
health of the community, he men
toned the numerous complaints which
had come to him regarding the dep
relations committed by family chick
ems in the city and also of the lusty
bawling of one milch COW which
causes neighborhood people to spend
wakeful nights in muttered impreca-
tions, thereby endangering their NOR
al character and menacing the cheer
fulness of disposition necessary for
the peace, health and safety OF the
community.
No Relief I'm Sight.
Discussion revealed an ordinance
permitting chickens to be kept in cer-
tain parts of the city for commercial
purposes and in other parts for do
mestic purposes but not one of the
solons present felt competent to say

Just how many feathered bipeds one
person could keep and still comply
with the clause, domestic purposes"
one lady in the city keeps 100 chick
ems and yet the council would not
say whether or not she is violating
the spirit and interest of the ordi-
nance, so her neighbors will not have
any great and immediate relief forth
coming.
Regarding the bovine dsturber of
'he peace, DR. Temple stated that he
was unable to determine the cause
OF her continual bawling, some au-
thorities holding that she had lost a
calf and others that she finds the
confinement of city life irksome to
her liberty loving spirit. When one
of the councilman suggested that the
animal be classed as a pubic nuis-
ance, Councilman Kirkpatrick silenc-
ed the suggestion by remarking, toto
voce, that bawling baby could be
placed in the same category. Thus
the old COW will probably be able to
continue its woeful lamentations and
take It's place along with the yowlinr
tomcat which no law or ordinance
reaches.
Sanitary Measures.
Dr. Temple had matters or moro
moment than bawling cows and peskv
chlckens of which to talk last night

COMING BACK, ROUNDUP
Explain Purpose of Excursion Is To
Revive Interest in Live Stock Busi-
ness which Is on Decrease in North
western States.

Headed by the famous pig of the
parlor," and a spirit of '76" drum
corps, two hundred and thirty seven
men and women, representing twenty
seven counties of Idaho and eastern
Washington, swarmed from their spe-
cial train at the local O.-W. r. & y.
depot yesterday afternoon at $50,
poured forth into the streets of the
city and, within less than an hour,
had completed their conquest of PEN
dleton and had re-entrained to push
their invasion into Walla Walla.
Far from lifting up their hands to
repel this conquering horde, hun
dreds of local citizens opened their
arms in royal welcome, formed
themselves into an escort, led the
troupe of foreigners through the
streets and surrendered to them the
freedom of the city. For this mani
festation of courtesy and friendliness,
the excursionists before leaving voted
Pendleton the livest little city they
had touched during their trip and the
commercial men here the livest bunch
they had GREETED outside of Portland.
Delay Disarrangcs Plans.
Though the special train did not
pull into Pendleton until $50. an
hour behind the scheduled time, and
though the air grew chilling as the
sun sunk low, the hundreds of local
men and women who had assembled
to welcome the excursonists did not
leave their posts. When the train
pulled in, the Roundup cowboy band
was playing a lively tune and no soon
er had the grinding wheels stopped,
before the shrill squeals of a little red
pig joined with the blare of the horns
and the roll of drums. The pig from
which the cries came, was one of the
privileged members of the excursion
party, hailing from Cottonwood, Ida
no, where hogs grow large and nu-
merously
on account of the delay of the train
the local committee abandoned its in
tentions of conducting the visitors
through the woolen mills as that in
stitution closes at six Forming the
men of the party into line and plac-
ing the ladies in autos, the committee
headed by the band, the pig and
President Robinson and Secretary
Keefe, led the excursionists through
Main street, up Court and back to the
corner of Court and Main On the
way they We're met by the six fine
stations owned by Metz Bros, and
the sight brought cheers from the
livestock men in the crowd.
Speeches Are Made.
The crowd was formed into a cor
don at the intersection square of the
two streets and Arthur Bissette and
John Carnahan, the Cottonwood men,
with their pig, John the Baptist"
opened the ceremonies with a clever
exhibition OF juggling and clog dane
ing. the drum corps piping its shrill
tunes the while.

Walter Pierce Opens Sena-
tOriaI Campaign With Con-
Vincing Address.
WILSON'S NAME CHEERED
Two Hundred Democrats Get TOgeth-
er and Hear Oratory While Enjoy
ing Sprcad-Coshow, Covey and
Pierce the Speakers.

With over 200 members of the
party in attendance the Umatilla
county democratic club had it's "get
together" banquet in the Eagles
WoOdmen hall last evening and for
several hours those present listened
to brisk and entertaining oratory, the
principal address being by Walter NJ.
Pierce. candidate for the democratic
nomination for the United States SEN
atorship
Wilson's Name Cheered.
In opening the speaking program of
the evening, Chairman Will NJ. Peter
son read letters of regret from sew
eral distinguished democrats who
We're unable to be present. Among
the messages was one from Judge
Thomas O'Day of Portland containing
an endorsement of Woodrow Wilson
for president. 1t was the only time
during the meeting that the name of
a presidential aspirant came into
play and the sentiments of Judge o.
Day were loudly applauded.
Other messages of regret were from
NJ. A. Miller of Lebanon, candidate
for the senatorial nomination, Clark
Wood of Weston and DR.. Harry Lane
of Portland, who is also in the sena-
torial race. The Portland man after
expressing his regrets at being un-
able to attend the gathering asked
the Umatilla democrats to "Be good
to Walter Pierce, Milt Miller and o.
P. Coshow, but don't kick my houn
dawn arOun.'
Candidates Present.
All of the oratory during the even
ing was by the congressional and sem
atorial candidates present. Claud C.
Covey of Warm Springs, aspirant for
the democrtic nomination for con-
gress was the first called upon. He
spoke briefly and informally and sig
nified a desire to go upon the demo-
catic ticket against whomsoever OBJ
tains the republican nomination for
congress from eastern Oregon.
One of the most interesting speech
es of the evening was that by State
Senator Coshow of Roseburg, who was
present in behalf of his candidacy for
the senatorial nomination. Attempt
ing no set address, the southern Ore
gOn man told in part his views of
Jeffersonian democracy and inter
spersed his talk with wit and stories
that appealed to those present. He
pledged to support the democratic
nominee for senator regardless of
who it might be.
Not An Assembly.
During the course of the evening
the POSTMASTER expressed his hope
that for the election this fall there
will be a full list of democratic can
didates out in Umatilla county. How
ever, he made no reference to partic-
ular candidates and dwelt at length
upon the fact the meeting was not
called for the purpose of holding an
ASSEMBLY" to select or even to sug-
gest candidates for office. During
the meeting there was no discussion
of candidates whatever and no effort
made to place the gathering on record
