DEMURRER IN GUST
SUIT IS OvERRUlED
Judge Phelps UphoIds Constitution.
aIity Of City Charter Which Was
Under Attack Appeal Pending.

Overruling the demurrers filed by
Marion Jack and Will Moore in the
case in which stephen A. Lowell con-
tests their eligibility to serve on the
city water commission, Circuit Judge
G. w. Phelps in his opinion upheld
the constitutionality of the city char
ter which was under attack in the ar
guments of Attorneys Carter and Pc
terson, counsel for the two commits
sioners. He gives them until Monday
to file an answer or plead further.
The attorneys. however. stated this
afternoon that they would appeal
from the decision to the supreme
court
The contention of the defendants
was that the city charter. in requiring
residence and property qualifications
for office, was contrary to the consti-
tuition of the state in that It discrimi-
mated between classes. They cited
caeses from Indian to uphold their
contention. Judge Phelps in his opin-
ion virtually declares that when
legislative body interprets the con-
stitution in a way that receives the
,acquiescence of the people that It's
Interpretation should stand. He cites
the fact that qualifications are pre-
scribed for almost every office In the
state and that II these were contrary
to the constitution, the supreme court
would have so held in a number OF
cases brought to it's attention.

Leaving note revealing clearly
his intention. Dayton Barnhart, son

will, stating that he left all of his
possessions whatsoever they might be
to Mrs. Jessie Barnhart and her
daughter, Helen. Mrs. Barnhart is
his divorced wife and the little girl
is their only child. At the bottom
of the note he had scrawled few
lines to his former wife in which he
blamed another member of the fam
lily for his fate.
Barnhart fired two shots, accord
ing TO Mrs. Hattie Long. landlady of
the hotel, and Ed Barr, who was in
the house at the time. Two empty
cartridges in the revolver bore out
their testimony but only one wound
was found. A bullet had crashed
through his brain, entertaining
through the temple, but no trace OF
the second bullet could be found. 1t

shot was fired as he fell across the
bed.

fled at once by the landlady. who
had rushed to his room upon hearing
the reports. The chief arrived just
as the dying man expired, probably
five minutes after the shot was fired

LODGE ADVOCATES
REPEAL OF CANAL
TOLL FREE CLAUSE
Senator From Massachusetts, Urges
Senate to Pass Resolution Which
the House Has Acted on.
RID|cuLES ITS OPPONENTS
Outbursts OF Those Fighting Plan
Likened to Ajax Defying the Light
ming That Didn't Exist-Has Added
Attraction of Being Perfectly Safe
Amusement, He Says.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Compar-
ing the outbursts of those opposing a
surrender of the canal rights to
Ajax defying the lightning that didn't
exist, Senator Lodge advocated the
passage by the senate of the resolu-
ton for the repeal of the tolls ex-
emption clause in the canal bill.
Lodge said he couldn't deal with
treaty questions in a partisan or po-
litical spirit and told of supporting
Cleveland and of opposing a number
of republican presidents on treaty
questions.
But Cleveland's policy in regard
to the Venezuela treaty." said Lodge,
involved serious issues and grave
possibilities 1t wasn't mere dec
lamation against another country and
a policy of importing danger intend
ed only to raise the temper around
our polling booths.
There is no particular courage re-
quired to insist upon passing oul
ships through the canal without pay
ment of tolls Lodge continued. "Tc
incur no physical danger by doing sc
and to hurl defiance at the rest Of
world under these conditions no doubt
is most agreeable pastime to those
who engage in it, more especially Sc
as it has added. the attraction of be
ing perfectly safe amusement. Blu
it seems not wholly satisfying as al

DUPUIS SENEEz><1
TO IS WIS ON
M'NE|L's ISLAND
Young Wife in Court Weeps-Man
Convicted Of Perjury Escapes
Lightly in Opinion Of Many.

Thirteen months in the federal pris-
on at McNeiIs Island was the sem
tence imposed upon Jim Dupuis this
by Federal Judge r. 5.
Bean. Dupuis was convicted yester-
day afternoon of perjury committed
when a witness for the defense in the
Columbia George murder trial.
Promptly at $3.50 the prisoner was
asked to stand and state whether or
not he had anything to say as to why
sentence should not be passed upon
him. In a faltering voice, Dupuis
asked for leniency, stating he had a
wife and child, a mother and two sis
ters dependent upon him. Judge
Bean declared he had every sympathy
for the family but was not permitte
BY the law'to make any consideration
because of them. He declared that
the crime for which he was convicted
was one of the worst with which the
law had to contend and merited Sc
we're penalty.
When the sentence was pronounced
Dupuis' young wife, who was in court
with her child and sister-in-law, wepi
audibly and Dupuis himself seemed
much moved. The concensus of opin-
ion of those present, however. was
that Dupuis was a fortunate man In
drawing as light sentence as he did.
In his final argument yesterday. U.
S. District Attorney Clarence l.
Reames gave Dupuis a verbal castiga-
ton. He denounced him as profes-
sional bootlegger. declaring that mis-
second hand store was merely blind
for its real nature. He stated that
the large percentage of criminal
cases coming before the federal cour;
from Pendleton had been traced back
to the Dupuis den and he held Du.
puis morally responsible for the mur'
der for which Columbia George was
given a life sentence in prison. "H'

quor which melted the Indian to Kill.

FROM LOCAL INDIANS AND GIVE THEM
10 90 80 80 % q
WATER FOR |RR|GAT|NG THEIR LANDS

After having been in Pendleton for
the first time in the role of federal
prosecutor United States District At
torney Reames left last night for
Portland. Before going he took oc-
casion to pay a high compliment to
the civic progress of Pendleton. to
declare unrelenting warfare on boot
Logging and made the prediction that
the government will win out In the
case that involves the rights of local
Indians to the use Of water for irri-
cation purposes upon the reservation.
The briefs in the water case have
been prepared by the United States
attorneys office and will be filed with
the water board within 10 days. 1t
is expected the water board will an
nounce its decision within so days.
The case for the Indians is said to be
so thorough and so conclusive as to
fully prove their rights to water for
irrigation purposes. There Is a
chance though that the question will
be in the courts for several years as
an appeal may be taken, no matter
which way the decision goes. The
case may be carried to the supreme
court of the United States.
District Attorney Reames was seen
at his hotel last evening before his
departure and said:
This is my first trip to Pendleton
and / surely am delighted with your
city. l am going to return every
time I have the opportunity. With
the completion of your new federal
building intend to try here all cases
arising in eastern Oregon and I am

going to be in some real trouble.
Il am particularly pleased with the

Your city is like Medford. my
home town. l couldn't say anything
better about 1t than to compare it
with Medford. With your wonder

ineXhaustible natural wealth. your
progressive citizenship and the civic
pride of your people you are destined
to have a city of $4,000 here within
a few years.
This afternoon | went over your
new water system and enjoyed a ride
through your wheatfields. 1t takes
business energy, pluck and out to
win determination to carry through
a plan for water system such as
yours. Every man and woman in
town should be proud of that enter
prise and splendid civic improvement.
"Your wheat fields are the best in
the world.
You are surely progressive and
