VS.. The Lewiston Bleachery & Dye,
Works, was heard in supreme court

machinery and was crushed. 1t was
necessary to amputate the hand.
When court came in Wednesday

would show that the defendant was IN
no way negligent and that the boy, IN
falling could not run his hand into the
inward turning rollers. f,
Robert Tackaberry, master mecnanlc
at the Lewiston Bleachery & Dys
works. testified that the rolls or the
machine In which the plaintiff claim
ed to have crushed his hand, revolved
awav from the outer edge OF the MAJ,
chine so it was impossible for the
hand TO be drawn in.
1t was admitted by the defense tnas
there were no guards placed about
the starching machine and Mr.. Tacka-
berry testified that there were ne
guards on any of the 10 macnines

chimes which Mr.. Tackaberry had seen
in other bleacheries had no guards.
]. L. O'Brien. an employee at the
I. r, & d. works, testified that at D
o'clock on the morning of the acci-
dent the starch was washed from the
floor and the water swept from the
floor. At II o'clock when the accident
occurred. the water had dried up ana
the floor was not slippery.
One of the operators of the machine
said that the first he knew of the ac-
cfdent was when he saw the blood
and pieces of mangled fingers and flesh
running through the machine on the
cloth.
The defense rested here and Attor-
ney Morey began his argument to the
JURY.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-President Will
son sent for Chairman Clark Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day and they had a half hours con-
ference, the exact nature of which was
not revealed.
1t was suggested in some quarters
that the President desired informa

railroads brought forth denial from
Chairman Clark
Mr. Clark learned, however, while
at the White House. according TO Off
cials there that the President hoped
for an early decision of the rate prob
lem. Mr.. Clark is known to believe
that the railroads would finish sub
mitting their data soon, prompt dispo-
sition of case could be made. White
House officials said later that While
the President had positive views on
the rate question, he neither desired
nor thought it proper to present his
beliefs to the commission as he re-
garded it as a quasi-judicial body.
1t was learned that in talks with
senator's the President had expressed
himself as believing an increase of
some kind in rates would be justified.

interpret this plank in harmony with
canal tolls"
When Senator Bristow said that the
ans-continental railroads had for
years been behind the fight against free
tolls for American ships and intimat-
ed that they had influenced the Pres
ident, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Republican member of the foreign re-
lations committee, took the floor to
declare that the President was actu-
ated in his attitude on the tolls ques-
ton solely by his desire TO restore the
United States to its former prestige
among nations
",'he President does not like to see
the United States an outlaw among
the nations" added the Massachusetts
senator.
Referring to the visit of woman
suragists to President Wilson last De-
cember, Senator Bristow quoted this
from the Chief Executives reply to
their request for support of the equal
suffrage constitutional amendment:
When my private opinion is asked
by those who are cooperating with
me, | am glad to give it, but | am
not at liberty until l speak for some-
body besides myself to urge iegisla-
tion upon Congress"
Brought by an Enslishman.
When the tolls question came up,
the Kansas senator continued:
"It was not brought before the
President by the good women OF the
country, but by a representative OF
the English government, whose action
had been instigated by the American
and Canadian trans-continental rail-
roads and British shipping interests.
He quoted the Baltimore platform
in it's endorsement of the tolls ex-
emption policy for American ships,
and declared that the President In a
recent letter to Mr.. Marbury or Bal
timore, had declared the exemption
TO be "a very mistaken policy from
every point Of view"
TT is true that We have expended
about four hundred millions OF our
own money in constructing this eanai

Withing six weeks the merchants in
the larger cities will feel the effects
of the rising tide OF demand from
the activities which the crops will set
in motion, and the owners and en-
ployes of the cotton, wooden, the 9TH
er textile mills of the union will be
rejoicing in unison with the steel
and iron men and their workers. the
coal and coke operators. and their
miners and oven men, the thousands
interested in electrical construction,
and with skilled and unskilled labor
in the shops and factories through
out our land.
The immense harvest cannot fail
TO increase the volume and value of
our commerce in both domestic and
foreign trade, and the fact that the
worlds available supply of wheat on
June was lower on that date than
in any year since 1910 goes far to-
ward securing a good price for the
producers of grain even in the face
of the large crops.
With normal weather and climatic
conditions for the crops of cotton and
corn. the results of the harvests in
cash for the United States farmers
will exceed all records in their totals.
The country can rejoice that such
wheat, oats, barley and hay produc-
tions are now assured, for they go
far toward dissipating the depression
which has marked business sentiment
for the last few months.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-07-23

The more or less disguised hands OF
two senators-Reed and Hitchcock
have been seen in the effort to en-
hsrrass the president with the Jones'
Warburg incident Significantly,
these two men have also been back of
much Of the democratic opposition to
the presidents policies and their
smooth sailing through the senate.
Their activity in the present in
stance is a subtle impeachment OF Mr..
Wilson. II there is any one charac-
teristic the president possesses it is
that OF honesty, together with the
quality Of independence and skeptic,
ism regarding the virtues or short
comings Of appointees in high places
1t is natural to assume that he
scanned the records Of men recon-
mended for the federal reserve board
with a high-power microscope. No
one knows better than he the import
ance Of securing men above all re.
proaeh and OF high personal integrity
and ability. If the reserve board
''muffs" its functions because Of poor
selections, it will be the president that
gets the blame
( In the face of these patent facts a
coterie of senators proceeded on the
I assumption either that the president
I has permitted himself to be fooled or
that he is handing the country a gold
brick in the appointments OF War
burg and Jones, The whole business
reflects credit on none of the senator's
connected with 1t.
President Wilson is to be commend
ed for standing staunchly by his ap-
pointments. He has shown before
that he is a good and a stubborn
fighter. He is convinced that Messrs.
Warburg and Jones are highly eligible
and eminently desirable. For him to
yield to technical or irrelevant objec-
tons would not only be a reflection
upon himself. but upon the men he has
asked to serve.
The whole transaction would be
more trivial if one could decide that
the objection of these two men rose
in sincerity and not the desire to play
petty personal politics.

In connection with Indian affairs
