SUGAR PROTEST
WAS STRENUOUS

Threatened Him With Political Ex-

ures-Sugar Lobbyists Flooded Him
With Literature.

Washington, June 5.-Taking testi-
mony in the "insidious lobby" investi-
cation, so far as the evidence of sena-
tors is concerned will end this after
noon. Agents of more than 60 manu-
facturers and others served with sub
poenas will then testify.
Senator Goff testified that the eau
ualty of various coal and oil lands he
owns were paying him $685. annu-
ally. He said he had one oil well
which for time paid $4,000 daily
Goff said few persons discussed the
tariff with him, but could not recall
their names. Gore presented a long
statement in answer to questions.
Senator Sherman named numerous
callers adding both doors of my Of
flee were open when they We're there.
He declared three sugar lobbyists de-
luged him with literature for two
months. sherman said the only "im-
proper" influence attempted on him
was by labor leaders who threatened
him with political extinction If he
fought certain measures.
Shields of Tennessee, and Smith of
Georgia also testified.

signed by a score of prominent sociol-
ogists asking congress to investigate
and serve warning that constitutional
rights must be observed.
The petition said: Arbitrary state
and local officials have adopted the
Bismarckian and Russian methods to
muzzle the press, break up gather
ings of people and arrest and impris-
on persons guilty of no more wrong
than gathering to discuss common in
terests. The most flagrant violation
of public rights occurred in Paterson.
Whatever the merits of the contro-
versy between the strikers and mill
owners. patriotic people cannot close
their eyes to these dangerous inva-
sions of individual liberty"

CONTEST
MAY BE FEATURE

a eugenic baby contest in lieu of
the old style baby show at the district
fair. This is the talk now and if the
views of great many local ladies
are respected by the fair board such
a contest will be arranged It will
take the place of the beauty contest
which has been the source of much
interest in the past but is now re-
garded as scientifically worthless.
1t is argued by those who favor
the eugenic plan that at a baby con-
test the youngsters should be judged
upon all their physical and mental
qualifications and not merely graded
in accordance with their prettiness
AT the state fair last year the eugenic
plan was followed and the prize was
won by the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chauncey Bishop. Recently a
picture of the prize winner appeared
in an eastern ladies' magazine and the
article has caused many local ladies
to become enthused over a eugenic
contest here.
Thus far only a few state fairs have
taken up with the modern way of
judging babies and it is doubtful If
any county fair, in Oregon at least,
has adopted the plan. For this rea-
son it is urged that the local fair
board should inaugurate the idea so
as to keep abreast of the times. The
ladies civic club is taking an interest
in the movement and later will en-
dorse the same to the fair board. in
the view of the president. Mrs. Fee.

COLUMBIA GEORGE
TO GO ON TRIAL


Columbia George. notorious Indian
murderer, is back in the local county
Jail after a six months sojourn in the
federal prison at Portland. He was
brought up last night and Tuesday
will go on trial for the murder of I'll
mot, the aged squaw who was brutal
ly killed last July just above this city
and whose dead body was found few
days later in the Umatilla river He
Will be tried in the federal court be-
fore Judge r. S Bean
Columbia George has already serv-
ed one term for murder. Convicted
with Toy Toy some ten or more years
ago of the murder of Anna Edna, an
Indian medicine woman. he was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment but about
three years ago was pardoned by
President Taft
After the discovery of the dead
body of Ti-mot. suspicion at once
pointed toward him as the perpetrator
of the brutal deed because of the fact
that he had been seen riding toward
the spot where the murder occurred
with the old woman. The local Off
GERS went to work on the clew and
day by day built up strong case of
circumstantial evidence against him.
The discovery of bloody underclothes
in his tepee, the buttons on which
corresponded to one found on the
scene of the murder was an import
ant link in the chain. His familiar
high crowned hat with a bloody hand
print on it was also found and the
tracks in the moist soil corresponded
to the shoes found in his tepee. He
was riding a white horse on the day
of the murder and white horse hairs
were found on the bushes through
which an exit had been made by the
murderer. Furthermore, it was learn
ed that Columbia George had pur-
chased a bottle of alcohol in the city
on the day of the murder and sim
liar bottle was found on the scene
All in all, the case appears very
strong against him
He steadfastly maintains his inno-
cence and it is believed the defense
will seek to fasten the crime upon
white laborer who was working on
the Bitner ranch at the time.

The original plans for the Umatilla
bridge as drawn by j. w. Kimbrell
called for n much higher bridge than
was erected by the old county court
For that reason the bridge would
have been safer and more serviceable
than the one erected. However, the
plans We're changed and without ad-
vertising for new bids the old county
court made a contract with 4. f. Eb-
erhart to erect the bridge that is now
flooded. 1t is declared by experts to
have cost twice as much as II is worth
and the facts in the case did much to
create sentiment against those re-
sponsihle The deal for the bridge
was signed by Messrs Gilliland and
Walker, former judge and commits
sioner respectively. The other MEM
ber of the court II, b. Lee did not
sign the contract.

GRAFT" BRIDGE AT UMAT|LLA s1:s@ @7...-
is REPORTED AS SUBMERGED

That the $4,000 bridge erected at
Umatilla by the old county court and
which cost twice as much as it was
worth is now under water is the re-
port from Umatilla today The high
water prevailing in the Columbia has
backed up the water in the Umatilla
to such an extent as to flood the
structure.
To those informed regarding the
bridge the news of its being flooded
has caused no surprise for such a re-
suit was anticipated. The bridge is
constructed low down upon the wa
ter and has no steel superstructure
The support for the bridge all comes
from numerous concrete piers set in
a row across the river. Consequently
the bridge is subject to trouble from
the back water from the Columbia
and 1t would also be in danger should
any large quantity of debris flow down

The new office Of electrical inSpec-

sented at the meeting last evening

writer's Equitable Rating Bureau. It
would be the duty of such an officer

ing done in the city and he would al
so have the power to inspect any old

II hazardous The ordinance pro-
vides that he shall be invested with
police power to arrest and prosecute
any violators of the ordinance.

Washington, June president
Wilson today is considering Japan's
rejoinder to the American note re-
garding a settlement of the land dis
pute. The note was presented by AM
bassador China yesterday The pres
ident does not consider the situation
sufficiently serious to call a special
meeting of the cabinet. Bryan indi-
Gated the protest rests principally up
on the general assertion of studied
and widespread" discrimination
against the japanese in the United
States.
Bryan intimated he will not pub
lish the contents of the Japanese
American notes 1t is expected the
California law will be tested in the
United States courts before either
country takes a decided stand.
That America and Japan are as far
apart as six weeks ago in a settlement
of the difficulty was reluctantly ad-
mitted at the state department.
Months Of negotiations and frequent
interchanges of notes are expected but
a satisfactory solution, is regarded as
certain.
