Prominent among the recommenla-
tons made by the Human Life Con-
gress held at Reed
Advanced saloon College in Port
land are some sug-
gestions regarding
the saloon business. The congress
urges that card and pool games and
all recreational features be barred
from saloons, that all screens from
the doors and windows be removed so
that the interior of a saloon may be
pIainly visible from the street and
that saloons close at II p. m.
That is advanced ground with ref
erence to the saloon business and Pen
dleton has had that sort of saloons for
over two years. Pendleton also limits
the number of saloons and prohibits
back doors That the plan works
well has been shown here by expert
ence. There is less trouble than there
was in the olden days and less drunk
eness.
When the city council was consid-
ering the saloon question two years
ago, following the election that made
this county wet after a period of pro-
hibition, the East Oregonian strongly
advised a policy of rigid regulation.
An ordinance calling for such a pol
icy was adopted by the council and
the developments since that time have
fully proven the wisdom of the ac-
tion.
&ssS&~
There is justice in the plea made by
the Eastern Oregon Bankers conven-
/ tion, just held at Ba-
They are ker. to the effect nc
Entitled to 1t. free wool provision
should be put into ef-
feet at once. For 20 years the wool
men have had the benefit of a pro-
Itective tariff and have had their bust
ness adjusted on that basis. 1t would
be only fair and just to them to give
them a chance to protect themselves
This could be done by providing that
the free wool provision should not ap-
ply this year or that the reduction be
made so as to go into effect by de-
grees That sort of revision would be
entirely in accord with the democratic
platform and it would be of benefit to
the woolgrowers
The trouble, however, comes from
the fact the reduction of the tariff
was delayed so long that the present
congress is anxious to get it over with
and is anxious to do a thorough job.
The leaders wish to avoid the criti-
cism that was heaped upon the Payne
Aldrich tariff and they remember that
schedule K was the Jonah of that
measure. However there is time yet
for them to make some concessions to
the grower and such a concession as
outlined above could be made with
consistency.

 His Relations With pr. Russell.
 Regarding Anhut's relations with pr. Russell, Anhut will admit, accord ing to Beare, that they discussed Thaw's case at a hotel In White Plains, N- Y. last summer and that New York. Anhut will concede also, said his counsel, that Thaw paid him substantial retainer fee' in connec- tfon with a new court fight to get out of Matteawan. but will declare that he is not acquainted with Governor Sul- ger, Colonel Scott or w. F. Clarke.
 Beare threw some light on what he described as Thaws latest move to get his freedom. This, according to the lawyer was to have western alien- ists examine Thaw to determine his mental status. It was to be set forth that the eastern field of alienists had been raked fine during Thaw's previ- ous efforts to be declared sane. Beare said the Sulzer commission will be told that Thaw broached this idea to Dr. Russell and that the latter, agree ing to aid Thaw in getting counsel, said to Thaw: "Iknow a young New York lawyer who would be the very man to handle this case now and that Anhut was the lawyer Dr. Rus- sell mentioned.
 Plan Fell Through.
 Owing to disquieting runors, Thaw's plan fell through, the statement adds, and Thaw complained to Alfred Henry Lewis magazine writer./with the re- suit that Lewis communicated With Clarke

MT Bennett said he had come to take possession of the office. MT. Kelsey did not know what to do, a1- though MT. Bennett thought Mir. Mac donald could be found if desired. MT.

M adero's Private Secretary And oth-
 CTS Granted Liberty.

Mexico City, Feb. 25-President Hu- erta insists that his will not be a governm lent of retaliation or revenge but will devote it's energy to the placa- ton of those persons mildly antagon- istic and to the stern repression of it's active enemies
 As indicating the sincerity of the president, most of those whe were ar rested immediately after the over throw of Madero have been released, derO'S private secretary
 An amnesty proclamation has been sent broadcast. The government has not forgotten to eXtned rewards. AS a sample General Huerta long resent ed the failure of some of his com paninS in arms to receive promotion and since his assumption of power new straps have been bestowed on nu- merous officers. Among those thus honored was Colonel Diaz Ordaz, Gen eral Felix Diaz's chief lieutenant at Vera Cruz. He was removed from the military prison there, promoted to general and named as commandant of Vera Cruz.
 General Angeles. whose reluctance to join in the movement against Ma dero resulted in his arrest, has been released and, it is said, will retire.
 Rodolfo Reyes, minister of justice, will probably retire from the cabinet so that he may be free to conduct his own campaign for the presidency. A report is current that he has had 8 disagreement with President Huerta. Reyes denies this, however, and says that if he resigns it will be because pressure of private business.

I governor of Coahuila, had arrived m | that town today with an armed band l of two hundred men with the intention of establishing headquarters Tn the clty of MoncIova for the purpose of nam taining order. 1t is strongly suspected, however, that the apparently belI1-
 cose attitude of some of the Madero
 governors and other officials, as well as that of a number of rebel leaders.
 had been assumed in the hope of thereby inducing the new government
 to provide them with remuneratiVe offices.
 in the Durango district toward the Huerta regime remains problematical A band of 6S banditti partly burned property of the American SmeItefs Se- curities company near VoIuden oat- urday night and the American man. ager. who was attacked and beaten, saved his life only by the payment of five hundred Mexican dollars to his assailants-
 The consul at Durango furthar re- ports that 200 volunteers have deserted from the Torreon garrison presuIn- ably to fight against the new govern ment- He says bridges on the Mex sican railroad have been burned north and south of Torreon and between that city and Saltillo.
 Although there is some increase of brigandage around San Luis Potos1. railroads are operating to the south and east in that section. Hernosillo remains quiet except for the excite ment attending sensational rumors which have reached the city from the capital.
 War department reports today re- lated principally to the extensive movements of troops towards Calves ton under the recent concentration or ders. General Steever, after having personally inquired into the situation on the south side of the river near Brownsville, Texas, which led to threat of a Texan invasion, reported to the war department that the ap- prehension was groundless- United States DepRty Marshal Linton had told General Sfeever that everything was quiet on sthe American side of the river; there had been no outrages there and he knew of none in Mata.- moras on the Mexican side. Altogether the outlook was decidedly peaceful.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN FOR
 SECRETARY OF STATE.
This is Now Regarded as Assured Fact
 at Washington.

Washington, Feb 25.-Cabinet gos- sip took d decidedly active turn about the capitol today, and for the first time democratic leaders professed to speak with definitenesS on many of the plans relating to the official family of Pres ident-to-be Wilson. It was evident that something more than mere specu- Iation had come to knowledge of those closely identified with the new admin istration.
 William J. Bryan for secretary of state is looked upon as definitely set tied Democratic leaders in both the senate and house treat this as one Of the phases of the cabinet beyond fur ther doubt. Another name referred to with definiteness was that of Repre- sentative Albert $. Burleson Of Texas as postmaster general. Gossip late In the day however, indicated that MT. Burleson might be shifted to the sec retaryship of the interior department.
 Other names believed to be settled upon were those of Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, usually referred to in connection with the navy portfolio, and William G. McAdoo of New York. Democrats believed to be in possession of accurate information from Trenton declined to indicate the exact positions accorded to MT. McAdoo and MT. Dan iels.
 The selection of Representative A Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvan1a TOT attorney general or some other cabinet position was considered probable
 Later tonight a statement by one high in congressional authority that the following cabinet selections had positively been made:
 Secretary of State William J. Bryan, Nebraska
 Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, New York.
 Secretary of the Navy Joseph Dan iels, North Carolina
 Postmaster General Albert Sidney Burleson, Texas
 From this same authority it also was declared that A Mitchell Palmer would not enter the cabinet.
 Information from other sources gave assurances that Colonel George w Goethals, chief engineer and chair man of the Panama Canal commission, is under consideration for secretary of war.

ADMISSION THAT DORR
 KILLED GEO. E. MARSH. Counsel For Defence Claims Shooting ss Was in Self Defence.

Salem, Mass, Feb. 25-WilIiam Dorr charged with the murder of George D. Marsh, a retired business man of wealth, will take the stand tomorrow in his own defence.
 This announcement by counsel late in the afternoon afforded the second surprise of the day for those who crowded the courtroom. Earlier they had heard Attorney Charles N. Barnes frankly admit that his client had shot the aged man though, as he asserted, in self defense.
 The attorney said that it was true that Dorr had killed Marsh but he shot him in protecting himself. He contended that the trust fund of $1O0,- 900 which was to have gone ultimate ly to Miss, Marsh had become so in volved in legal entanglements that the woman's only hope of receiving it rested on the survival of Marsh until the matter had been strengthened out
 Dorr's only interest in the fund was to protect the rights of his aunt, coun- sel said.

Tuberculosis
 Expert is Here
TURNS OVER BAcILLI FOR A GOV
 ERNMEN TEST.
HAS CURED HUNDREDS
Consists of RaciIIi from a Turtle Into Which Tubercular BaeiIi from a Human Being Has Been Injected.

New York, Feb. 25-The United States government took official rec onition of the claim of Dr. Frederick F. Friedman to the discovery for the cure of tuberculosis, when by au- thorfty of the surgeon-general, phy- sician of the United States marine hospital service, Dr. Milton H. Foster, was sent to meet the young German physician his arrival here today aboard the steamship Kronprinzessin
 Government to Test BaciIIi.
 At the request of the government surgeon, Dr. Friedmann, after half an hours conference aboard the steam ship on the trip up from quarantine, consented to turn over quantity of his baccilli to be tested by the govern ment and to demonstrate the efficiensy 0 fh1s cure before physicians of the hospital service. He agreed to meet laboratory expert of the government in this city Thursday to arrange for the demonstration, which will be tried on tubercular patients.
 BaciIIi From a Turtle.
 Dr. Friedmann, who comes to this country at the invitation of Charles E. Finley, a New York banker, who hopes the physician will be able to cure his son-in-law of tuberculosis, declared tonight that his remedy was not a secret and that he purposed to make known ito all the worid'' the method by which it was created and the manner in which it was ad- ministered It consisted of bacilli taken from a turtle into which tu- bercular bacilli from human being had been injected, he explained.
 Has Cured Hundreds.
 T have been working upon the cure for fourteen years and in the last two and half years I have tried from D. 500 to 5000 patients" he asserted. How many I have absolutely cured I cannot estimate, but their number has run into the hundreds. The remedy cures all forms of tuberculosis except such cases as are quite hopeless-that is, on the point of death. The process is a slow one, but the first effects are to be seen two or three weeks after inoculation. The time when an abso- lute cure can be said to be affected is a matter of months
 No Offer of $1,oOo, 900.
 Dr. Friedmann denied that he had been offered S1,0eG,000 by MT. Finley if he would cure 95 out of 100 patients in this country. He admitted that he was to receive a substantial compen- sation" in the event he cured the bankers fn-law, Ray Paris, of this city.
 T am not mercenary," he said "A1l I care about is sufficient reward to enable me to demonstrate my cure to the world"

LONDON COMMENT.
Standard Thinks It Pity We Have
 No Excuse to Intervene.

London, Feb 26.-The London news papers continue to take a lively in- terest in the Mexican situation. In an editorial this morning the Stand ard says:
 Perhaps President Taft is right in deciding on noh-intervention in Mex leo, but it seems a pity that Felix. Diaz and his confederates do not con- init some breach of international law which would give a civilized power an excuse to lay strong hands upon them"
 The Daily Mail comments on the difficulties facing the United States. It says the very idea of intervention appalls the American government. If a quarter of a million British troops were two years conquering South Af- rica at a cost-of $1,000, ,006,000, the troops would find the subJugation of Mexico q task of supreme difficulty,
