DEAN TATOM IS
CHOSEN FOR PLACE
Is Elected to Fill Vacancy ON Accom-
mOdations Committee for the
Roundup.

Dean Tatom was last evening cho-
sen by the members of the Roundup
board Of directors to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Paul
Sperry, director of accommodations,
and he will at once commence upon
preparations for taking care of the
immense crowd which will be here
for the annual cowboy carnival.
The position to which Mr.. Tatom
was selecter is one of the most inn
portant on the board in view of the
fact that it has to do with the biggest
problems of the Roundup. The mat
ter of furnishing sleeping accommo-
dations to thousands of people is no
small one for city the size of Pen
dleton and thorough organization and
hard labor is necessary to accom-
plish it. Mr.. Tatom will begin i'm
mediately upon the work of listing
the rooms and beds in the private
homes of the city and will work out
a system whereby as little inconven-
ience as possible will be occasioned
the home people and visitors. He
will choose committee to assist him
and will hire a corps of efficient men
to work in the accommodation head
quarters which for the time being
will be in the board of trade room.

of the company Moreover, he asserts
that his company had never been no.
titled that another $4,000 policy had
been written on the property. He
states that there Is question as to
whether the policy is valid in view of
these circumstances and intimates
that his company will make a close
investigation before paying.
Charles Heard of the firm of Heard
& Folsom, stated this afternoon that
he had not been notified of the policy
with the Pacific Home because of the
fact that the Hartman Abstract Co.,
which placed the insurance was not
aware of its existence The $4,000
policy was written when the property
was in possession of Thomas Hall who
purchased it from Hill and sold il
to the Meadors.
In order to be present at the ad-
justment which is scheduled to take
place tomorrow, II. NJ Crooks, pres
ident of Albany college and member
of the Presbyterian board of trustees

EDUCATOR HERE SAYS UNIVERSITY
WILL WIN FIGHT ON Referendum

For the two-fold purpose of organ
izing the alumni OF the university to
fight the referendum against the re-
cent appropriation bill and of ap-
pealing to local students to attend
oregon schools, DR.. John Straub dean
of the college of literature. science
and arts at the University of Oregon
is spending a few days in Pendleton.
He is making a tour of the state which
will take him into every section.
DIR. Straub expresses the opinion
that the university will win its fight
by large majority when it is present
ed to the voters at the special cleo
tion this fall. In all my trip over
the state I have yet to find Il woman
who is not supporter of higher ed
ucation and who is not with us in this
fight" he said last evening. The
woman's vote will Undoubtedly be
overwhelming in the support of the
needed appropriation and. l look TO
see the men give us a majority too.
The proposal to consolidate the uni
versity and the agricultural college
will never bear fruit. Both institu-
tions are opposed to the move, state
oranges, commercial bodies, and wo-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-08-13

mems organizations are fighting it.
Those behind the move hope to see
one big institution founded at Port
land but the voters of the state are
not going to abandon the splendid
buildings and equipment at Eugene
and Corvallis representing as they do
thousands of dollars"
DR. Straub is also working hard to
stem the tide of students moving out
of the state to other schools, IN
eastern oregon l find that quite a
number of young men and young la
dies are leaving the state to COM
plete their education" he said ore
gon has splendid schools, just as good
or better than those TO which these
students are going and from a stand
point of expense and social life much
more desirable. Oregon students
should be loyal to their state by at
tending the schools which the state
provides for them"
This evening. DIR. Straub will meet
n number of high school graduates
at the residence of James Johns on
Jackson street to point out to them
the advantages of attending Oregon
schools.

May INVESTIGATE BEFORE PAYING
LOSS IN ACADEMY BUILDING FIRE

Though the entire Pendleton acad-
emy property. consisting of two
buildings and lots which have since
been laid out as Wade's addition, sold
about a year ago for $4,000, it now
appears that insurance in that am
cunt was carried upon the one build
ing which was burned last week and
reports have it that the insurance
companies will make searching in
vestigation before paying the losses.
At the time of the fire, it was known
that there was a $4,000 policy carried
by the owners, Lincoln and Beulah
Meador of Walla Walla, with the Cit
liens Insurance Co. of Missouri
through Heard & Folsom, local
agents, but not until the last day or
so did it become known that another
policy for $4,000 was carried with the
Pacific Mutual Insurance Co.
G. w. Coutts, local agent of that
company, declared this afternoon that
such policy had been taken out on
the building by the Presbyterian
board of trustees and had since been
assigned to Henry T. Hill and by him
to the Meadors without the knowledge

LAND FOR FISH HATCHERY is DENIED

Because the Indians of the Umatilla
reservation are found to be unani-
nous against granting reservation
land to the state for use as fish
hatchery at Gibbon the application OF
the state fish and game commission
for such land has been formally de-
MED by the Interior Department.
Notice to this effect has been re-
ceived here by Major Swartzlander,
agent upon the reservation and he in
turn has notified Messrs Cranston
and Ladow, prominent workers for
the hatchery, of the action taken
The notice from the department shows
the action was taken purely as re-
suit Of the adverse sentiment among
the Indians. 1t was found that satis-
factory terms could be made with the

UNION CONTRACT WOULD
BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

SALEM, Ore, Aug 13.-Holding
that a union contract would be vi
olation of the bill of rights guaranteed
by the state In the federal constitu-
ton, Attorney General Crawford rem
dered an opinion holding such con-
tract to be unconstitutional. The
state printer intended to enter a Writ
ten contract with the Typographical
union to operate the state printing Of
flee as a closed shop. State Printer
Harris. who announced his intention
of entering such a contract, stated
he would accept the ruling of the at
torney general.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-08-13

state commission and that the hatch
cry would be beneficial to the Indians
as we'll as whites. However in defer
ence to the feeling among the Indians
the request for the land is denied.
Among the local sportsmen there
is regret over the failure to obtain
hatchery at Gibbon, 1t is regarded
as a deserving project and there is
said to be no reason whatever for the
stand the Indians have taken. Their
stand is said to have been instigated
by fellow named Earnhart who was
here several years ago and became
angered at local sportsmen when he
failed to land job as game deputy.
He is said to have circulated a false
impression regarding the hatchery
among the Indians and this led to
their opposition.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-Mer-
cilessly attacking her character in a
previous Reno affair and forcing her
to bare every clandestine act and her
intimacy with Diggs, Miss Warrington
at noon was being subjected to a CRU
elling cross-examination by Attorney
Coghlan for the defense. Every Sc
cret relationship with the defendant
seemed gathered by the defense and
hurled at her remorsely, from the ad-
mitted introduction to Diggs on a
street corner under a fictitious name,
through many early indiscretions and
finally to wild joy rides in Sacrament
to county and frequent visits to 9TH
er California cities, where all night
stops at hotels were made by Diggs,
Caminetti, Warrington and Norris.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-Heav-
lily yelled and composed, Miss War
rington resumed the stand today af-
ter John S. Chambers, editor of the
Sacramento Bee, denied the paper had
possession of a story in the Diggs-
Caminetti scandal which it intended
publishing. Her voice was stronger
than yesterday. After detailing that
! Diggs occupied room with her at
| the Riverview hotel on the night of
their arrival in Reno, and Caminetti
with Miss Norris, she testified that
! both wanted to return to Sacramento
| but Diggs and Caminetti persuaded
them not to because it might lead to
discovery of the mems whereabouts.
! she stated Diggs introduced her as his
{ wife in renting a bungalow.
"Diggs said it was up to us whether
or not they went to the peniteniary,
stated Miss Warrington, explaining
