Points in Testimony.
The following points were brought out
during the testimony of Horning at the
morning and afternoon sessions:
Chicago and Philadelphia ''loan sharks"
joined with their Washington brethren
in assembling a fund of not less than
s., 90 to defeat the Dyer loan shark"
bill last year.
This fund was separate and apart from
the 3,73i which local pawnbrokers raised
to defeat the provision in the bill which
a affected their husineSS
Horning collected and disbursed both
funds.
Henry E. Davis and the firm of Tucker.
Kenyon & mcfarland represented both
interests and collected separate fees.
Neither the pawnbrokers who raised
the 1914. nor the loan sharks who
raised $500, ever asked or received an
accounting from Hornins. The greater
part of the larger fund, or about S 800,
now rests in Mornings strong box, ready
to be paid out to lawyers in litigation
which he expects to carry to the United
States Supreme court in attacking the
constitutionality Of the Dyer loan
shark" law.
Following are the contributors, as far
as Horning could recollect. to the fund
which was raised to attack the loan
shark bill in its entirety:

BOY HAS A NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH


A tragedy was narrowly averted in
the O.-W.' r. & ~ yards this morn
ing and the occurrence should serve
as a warning to parents of children
who are in the habit of jumping
aboard moving cars. Louis Perkins,
a twelve year old boy living on west
Webb street, attempted to climb
aboard the ladder on the back of a
switch engine succeeded in getting a
handhold but his feet slipped in the
snow and he was unable to swing up.
With his legs inside the track and
perilously near the revolving wheels,
he was dragged several blocks before
his predicament was discovered and
the engine stopped.
Agent T. F. O'Brien declares he is
kept in continual uneasiness by a
number of boys stealing rides on the
moving cars and engines. No matter
at what rate of speed the cars are
travelling, they jump on. and off reck-
lessly, he declares. He expects to
hear of one of them being ground to
death under the wheels. MIR. O'Brien
has taken the matter up with the po-
lice, and the juvenile offenders will
probably be dealt with in sterner
manner.

MAIN TRUNK ROAD SHOULD co TO
COLD SPRINGS LANDING INSTEAD
OF UMAT|LLA, DECLARES FRIEDLY

When permanent highway system
Is adopted for Umatilla county the
chief trunk road should be built to
Cold Springs Landing, not to Una
tilla.
This is the view of Manuel Friedly,
we'll known farmer and citizen of He
lix and Pendleton. Mr. Friedly bases
his view on the fact good grade may
be had from the center of the county
to Cold Springs Landing and that the
river may be reached at that point
much more easily than at Umatilla.
The distance from Pendleton to
Umatilla is 43 miles and 1t is but 80
miles from Pendleton to Cold Springs
Landing" asserts Mr.. Friedly. From
Adams to Umatilla it is Sc miles. 1t
Is but 35 miles from Adams to Cold
Springs Landing. 1t is 81 miles from
Athena to Umatilla; it is but 40 miles
from Athena to Cold Springs Land
ing. 1t is 81 miles from Weston to
Umatilla and only 43 miles from Wes-
ton to Cold Springs Landing. 1t is
much nearer from the Milton-Free-
water country to Cold Springs Land
ing than from that region to Umatil-
Ia"
1t is estimated by Mr.. Friedly that
a road to Cold Springs Landing would
be nearer the bulk of the wheat sec
ton by 81 miles than would Umatilla.
That would make a difference of AZ
miles on the round trip. From Pen
dleton the difference in favor of
Cold Springs Landing is 26 miles on
the round trip.
According to Mr.. Friedly he favors
the county bonding scheme and is ia
vorable to permanent highways for
Umatilla county. But he believes the
river route should have Cold Springs
not Umatilla. for the OBJ
jective point. He would have the
road from Pendleton lead north VIA
German Hall. At that point the road
would be intersected by a highway

Sets in This Afternoon.

Though much of the snow which
has been on the ground all week was
melted in the thaw yesterday after
noon and evening. Jack Frost got the
upper hand again in the early morn
ing hours and by dawn had precipi
tated another three inch blanket of
the flaky moisture. A driZzling rain
changed into snow storm which con-
tinued until nearly ten o'clock. The
sky was then cleared and this after
noon a slow thaw began.
Traffic over the Washington branch
of the O.-W. r. & N. was impaired
by the storm, the evening train from
Spokane not arriving until 4 O'Clock
this morning behind three engines
and eleven hours late. For three
hours it was held at Weston alone.
This morning the track was pretty

arise, trainmen declare there will be

The trains on the main line are

and stockman of this county passed
away in this city this morning, at 5
o'clock at the home of Mrs. Pierson
who has been acting as his nurse for
the past year and a half. Deceased

greater part of which time he had
been engaged in farming and stock
raising in the southern part of the
county. He had many friends and ac
quaintances, particularly among the
older residents of the county, and the
news of his death will be received
with many expressions of regret.
He is survived by two daughters in
this county, Mrs. Thomas p. Gilliland
OF Pilot Rock and Mrs. Charles Vim
son of Holdman, and by two sons, one
living In Linn county. Oregon, and the
other in Lake county, California. Fu-

TRADE IN HANDS
OF COMBINATION
AFFECTS ALL SHIPPING
Independent Lines Are Kept Out, Is
Testimony Before the House Com
mittec-Combine Operates Under
An Agreement With the Railroads,
says A. ii. Bull.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-A giant
combination. practically controlling
American castwise trade on the At
landc and operating under an agree
ment with the railroads by which the
perorating is refused to independent
steamship lines except on full car
goes, was described to the house
shipping trust committee by A. H.
Bull, president of the a. H. Bull
Steamship company of New York.
Describing efforts of the combina-
tion to drive his company out of the
New York and Porto Rican trade,
Mr.. Bull submitted circulars bearing
the names of the Insular Line and
the New York and Porto Rican
Steamship company, offering dis
counts OF 20 per cent on freight rates
one week, when the sailing of a Bull
liner for Porto Rico had been an
nounced.
When asked by Representative
Humphrey of washington. why he
had not placed these facts before the
department of justice, Mr.. Bull said
he had been told that he was "as
bad as any of the rest" because he
had signed a bond in 1900 not to en-
ter the Porto Rican trade for ten
years. He said he had decided to
await the action of the congressional
investigating committee.
Chairman Alexander and Repre-
sentative Humphrey emphatically ex-
pressed the opinion that the COM
bination heads should be prosecuted.

BETTER POLICY IS
SOUGHT FOR INDIANS

Washington. Jan. 1S.-The Indian
bureau of the interior department has
become place for training persons
to know about the Indians, instead of
working out a definite policy for the
training of the Indians, according to
Rev. VIM. H. Ketchum of Oklahoma,
a member of the board of Indian COM
missioners.
Six members OF the board in a
hearing before the senate committee
on Indian affairs urged the adoption
of a more stable and consistent policy
for the management of the Indians.
THE policy toward the Indian
changes every time the administra-
ton changes" said Rev. Mr.. Ketch-
um. u
Bishop William d. Walker of Buff
falo. Frank Knox of Michigan, Ed
ward f. Ayers of Chicago and George
Vaux, Jr.,, of Washington, members
of the board insisted that unless it
was given adequate funds to continue
its work it might be 'better wiped
out"

IN DEADLOCK OVER
TAFT APPOINTM ENTS

Washington, Jan. 1S.-When yes
terday's executive session of the sem
ate adjourned the deadlock between
the democratic and republican sena-
tors over the confirmation of Presi-
dent Taft's appointments were more
pronounced than at any previous
time. No progress was made, and
there was very little effort to con-
firm any one. Ostensibly the army
nominations still were under consid-
Grafton and If there had been action
upon any of them, the nomination of
Lieutenant Colonel Brewer to be coll
onel would have been affirmed.
When it appeared that vote was
about to be taken on the nomination
of Lieutenant Colonel Brewer to be
colonel, Senator oliver of Pennsyl-
vania made the point of no quorum.
The roll failed to bring in a majority
of the senate and an adjournment
was taken Immediately on motion of
Senator Gallinger.

SLATE SEEMS TO
SATISFY sen. BOURNE
Burgards Nomination Presumably
Dictated by Russell Hawkins.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-No protest
has been voiced by Senator Bourne
regarding the Oregon nominations
sent in by Taft. Indeed, suspicious
have been expressed that he is fair
ly we'll satisfied, Burgard's nomination
as collector of customs is supposed
to have been dictated by Senator
Bourne's friend, Russell Hawkins,
who has been here on business. The
nominations of ArOnson of The
Dalles and others are said to have
been accepted by Bourne, who will
not be anxious to appear in the light
of an obstructionist TO the numerous
republican officeseekers in the state.
Williams appears to have had things
practically his own way.
Many protests against Williams
slate are coming in; Lafferty has
some; also Hawley. II Bourne has
heard from home he's not telling.
Senator Chamberlain admits receiving
many protests, most of them being
aimed at Parker, named as collector
at Astoria. Burgard at Nortland;
Pearl, postmaster at La Grande;
Brown. postmaster at Lebanon, and
Miller. postmaster at Jacksonville. As
for combinations. apparently none
will be made just yet.

Weston and the east end. He would
have a permanent road between Ad-
ans and Pendleton down Wild Horse.
For the west end of the county per-
manent roads could be constructed
both to Cold Springs and to Umatilla
There could be road from the Una
tilla project connecting at some point
with the Cold Springs road, thus pro-
viding the project settlers with a good
highway into Pendleton so they could
bring their produce here for market
ing
1t is part of Mr.. Friedly's plan that
with permanent road constructed
down to Cold Springs Landing it
would be possible to take the greater
part of the wheat crop of the county
to the river by team or auto truck
and thus secure the benefit of water
transportation. He points out that
with good highway to Cold Springs
Landing, freight could be brought
from the river to Pendleton and other
towns by auto trucks. Should Una

An Explanation.
In explanation of motion he
made at the good roads committee
meeting Thursday night, Mr.. Friedly
states his motion was to the effect
bill be drafted providing that when
county road bonds are voted upon no
citizen be allowed to vote on the
bonding question is he lives in town
exempt from road taxes. In the re-
port of the meeting it was stated that
committee had been named to urge
towns now exempt from road taxes
to change their charters so as to pro-
vide for the payment of road taxes

ONE Is KILLED IN
VAEE STREET DUEL
Twenty five Austrians Watch Deadly
Encounter Between Countrymen-

Vale, Ore, Jan. 1S.-This city's first
duel, and the first gum fight with fa-
tai termination ever known in Vale,
occurred Tuesday when Mate Dosen,
an Austrian, shot to death Joe Uzloc,
a fellow countryman, on one of the
principal streets. The dead man fired
one shot, the second shot of the duel,
then fell on his face with three bull
let's in his body. Three Americans
witnessed the tragedy.
The slayer tried to escape but Dan
Emo, city marshal finally grabbed
him and he then tamely submitted to
arrest.
However, he managed to slip his
auomatic pistol to fellow country
man in a crowd of some 20 Austrians
standing nearby. and the weapon has
not been recovered.
