REASSESSMENT IN JACKSON
ST. DISTRICT TO Be MADE

As soon as the city engineer c5n
clean up work which he Is doing
now, he will probably be ordered to
make a reassessment of the property
in the Jackson street improvement
district, according to information OBJ
tained today from an authoritative
source. This reassessment will cor
rect the error of description made in
the original plat of the district by
which error a number of property
owners escaped the payment of their
share of the costs of the street pave
ment.
Just at present the city engineer Il
busily engaged on other work and he
will not be asked to proceed with the
plans for the reassessment until more
urgent matters are disposed of. The
reassessment will be made in con-
formance with the amendment adopt
ed by the people at the recent cleo
ton. The assessments will probably
be exactly the same as previously lev
led but care will be taken not to la
bel Block as Block s. that mistake
having resulted in the locally notori-
Gus decision of the supreme court re-
versing Judge Phelps and holding the
whole proceedings of the council void
II is expected that the council will
make an order of reassessment at an
early meeting.

DR.. Smith likewise supported T. G.
HALEY while he was mayor and was
making war on gambling.
Local friends of DR.. Smith are
warmly resenting the efforts of the
Oregonian to show that his townsfolk
are against him and to make it ap-
pear he was favorable to a wide open
town when he was mayor. There are
indications the Oregonian attack will
prove a boomerang and do much to
help DR.. Smith win the democratic
nomination. The attempt to show
Smith conducted a wide open town
policy because fines were collected
during some moths of his term is
branded as ridiculous because it is
well known fact that when vice
conditions are the worst here the po-
lice records usually are blank on the
subject This spring the Law and Or
der League brought about the indict-
ment and conviction of Is gamblers
in March. Yet the police records
show nothing of the fact.

ernor Club has called a meeting for
tomorrow afternoon and at that time
pointed expressions will be made as
to how DR.. Smith is regarded by the
members of that organization.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-05-08

WASHINGTON, May s.-A threat
from Huerta TO withdraw from the
mediation negotiations and a recom-
mendati0n from Admiral Mayo for
landing at Tampico TO guard foreign
oil properties were the acute devei-
opments in the Mexican crisis today.
Huerta's note took the form Of a
protest against the discretionary au-
thority given Funston to advance the
American lines beyond the Vera Cruz
uAteyworks. The dictator asserted
this amounted to violation OF the
terms of the armistice and practically
intimated to the mediators that he
might break off negotiations IL his
protest Is desregarded.
Mayo's recommendation, according
TO some reports. followed the burn.
ing of two oil wells in the Tampico
fields. Whether OF not the report is
Well founded. it Is certain that foreign
oilmen have been threatened and that
much foreign property is believed to
be in danger.
WASHINGTON. May s.-The ad-
ministration is having trouble to find
the right sort OF men TO represent Il
before the mediators in the trouble
between the United States and Mexico.
President Wilson and his cabinet
discussed the matter but no select
ions were made. The difficulty was
that the Niagara Falls negotiatins
promise to be long drawn out. and
sc oh e. A.
disputants will have TO be prepared
to abandon other affairs indefinitely
Few big men can afford to do this
The state department has received
a friendly note from the English gov
ernment calling attention to the Brit
iish subject killed at Guadalajar and
that Manager c. H. Coxson. Of the
Vera Cruz street railroad. also Eng
lish- is held prisoner by General Mas
at Soledad.
There is a growing anxiety concern
ing John Silliman. OF the United
States consulate at Saltillo. who Is
supposed to be a prisoner either
there or at Sanluis Potosi. Bryan has
sent word to Mass that he will be per-
sonally responsible for Sillman's
safety.
Bryan hadn't replied TO the medi-
ators' notification that Huerta de-
manded action by the United States
TO prevent the rebels from obtaining
munitions. II was learned the dicta-
tor also contends the administration
violated the terms Of the armistice by
giving Funston discretionary power
to extend the American lines beyond
the waterworks.
