FIGHTER IN LOST
BATTALION HOME

Arriving in Pendleton yesterday
from the battleficids of France was a
Umatilla county man who was one of
the famous lost battalion of the fight
ing in Argonne forest. He is Emery
Bronson and today he is visiting with
his mother, Mrs. NJ NJ. Bronson. at
the farm home on Cabbage hill, south
east of Pendleton. The young man
arrived yesterday on the same train
with Lieutenant Steelhammer and
Sidney Barnes, of Weston.
Private Bronson was in the 30Sth
infantry and his company was with
Major Charles Whittlesey when the
battalion was surrounded by the Ger
mans for six days. 1t was Major
Whittlesey who when called upon to
surrender, told the German officer
to "go to hell" Private Bronson was
wounded in this fighting. At the time
they were charging machine gun,
when the German at the gun raised
his hands and shouted "kamarad" As
they approached the German started
firing at the American soldiers. Need
less to say they soon made things
warm for the German with hand
grenades. He was killed and Private
Bronson secured his automatic. After
being wounded Private Bronson and
wounded lieutenant were placed in
a German dugout for safety. Their
sits piled in front of the wounded men
wore hit directly by shell and COM
pletely destroyed while they were not
injured from the explosion.
Private Bronson left Pendleton
May 25. 1t was in this same fighting
that Robert f. ingalls,, a well known
Pendleton man. is thought to have
been killed.

RUSH LAND POINT
TO DODGE LEAGUE
BY ROBERT BENDER

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }
Copyright by the United Press)
PARIS, Jan. 30.-American parti-
cipation in the peace settlement may
depend on the decision regarding the
disposition of German colonies, it is
intimated today. President Wilson
believes the league of nations-the
principle which was unanimously ad-
opted Saturday-will be given a death
blow if the allies insist on dividing
Germanys former colonial possessions
like so much loot.
The league of nations is one of
principal ideas for which the United
States entered the war. Some of the
allies appear to favor carrying out
the world old custom of division of
the spoils,'' before the league of ma
tions begins to function-which may
account for the unexpected pressure
for consideration of territorial prob
lens at this time.
League First, Battles Opponents.
But the president wants 10 have the
league effective first so it can take
utrol Of just such Questions as in
ternationalization of Germany's cap
tured islands and colonies. He would
begin to make the league effective by
placing these disputed possessions un-
der its administration. The problem
thus presented is the most serious
which has yet confronted the peace
delegtes
Wilson's firm attitude apparently
has confused his opponents, forcing
them to play for time in which to de-
termine their course of action.

NO SUCCESSOR,
MATTER RESTS
City Physician, Recorder
and Street Commissioner
Renamed by Vaughan.
POLICE QUESTION UP
AT NEXT MEETING
Several Suggested for Sue
cessor, Estes Urged
& Roberts.

The council last night by a vote OF
four to three decided against the re-
Iappointing of AL Roberts as chief OF
police. Failing to agree upon a sue
cessor the matter was laid over until
the next, meeting, and Roberts con-
tinues in the office until his successor
is elected and qualities. Lieutenant
Alger Fee was renamed city attorney
Judge FitzGeraId as recorder, DIR. II.
J. Cavanaugh as city physician and
John Heathman, street commissioner.
Roberts was nominated for the
place by ]. H. Estes, chairman of the
police committee. The nomination
was seconded by Joseph Ell. The po-
lice committee was unanimous in his
support. while the rest of the council
was just as strong against him. Those
voting for Roberts were: Estes, Ell
and Friedly; against, Penland. King,
McMonies and Taylor. Folsom was
absent
In recommending the appointing of
Roberts, Councilman Estes said that in
his former experience as an officer
and also recently on the other end as
chairman of the police committee he
is of the opinion the best man avail
able for the place at this time is AL
Roberts. He said he did not think it
possible for man to fill the place and
not make enemies.
Councilman King stated he could
not vote for Roberts. and that his ell
ection would be the cause of great
dissatisfaction. That there would be
strong opposition to him for the Of
flee; that this opposition would come
strongly from the churches and from
the w. c. T. U.
The other councilman speaking in
opposition to Roberts was Penland.
who led movement during the fall
in an attempt to remove him from the
office, stated that he is opposed to
Roberts on the standpoint that he is
not qualified for the office. not doing
his duty and falling to come up to the
requirements of chief of police.
Following the vote, Councilman
King brought up the name of Tom
Gurdane, former chief in the admin
istrations of Fee, Murphy and Best
Mention of the name of Gurdane
brought forth the ire of Councilman
Taylor and his name did not go to a
vote.
Following this Penland suggested
Jne ponce COInmlJlee get LOSeIner ana
recommend another name. Chairman
Estes did not think it hardly fair to
ask the committee to name another
man after so, completely sitting on the
of Roberts.
Up to the point of naming chief OF
police the business of the meeting pro-
ceeded without a ripple, 1t was the
first meeting of the year attended by
Mayor Vaughan, who had been con-
fined to his home by sickness. The
of appointments had been
held over on this account.
Alger Fee Renamed.
Three appointments were made by
Mayor Vaughan and Immediately con-
firmed by the council. The first

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-01-30

Sunday morning, February 2. has
sbeen set by Mayor Vaughan as the
day for the lifting of the influenza
ban in Pendleton. According to the
mayor the ban will be lifted permit
ting churches to hold meetings with
out restrictions; schools will be opened
in full Monday: all influenza restric-
tions which have been in force for
business houses. cigar stores and pool
rooms will be removed; picture shows
will be allowed to resume. with an
Admonition against allowing excessive
crowding. The restrictions against
dances. however will be continued for
n time. This will be the substance of
the mayors proclamation to be Issued
today.
Mayor Given Authority.
At the meeting of the city council
last night the mayor was given au-
thorIty to suspend operation of any
part of the influenza ordinance that
he deems advisable. At the same time
he Is given power to declare quaran-
tine or TO close the town or any part
as seems best In his opinion to safe
guard the health OF tho city.
The purpose OF the new ordinance
is to permit the lifting of the ban
without the calling of a meeting of
the council, and TO allow the enforc-
ing OF such restrictions as the mayor
and board of health see the need.
For three months the fight against
influenza in Pendleton has been al
most continuous, with but three weeks
OF that time as an open time. The
ban was first put on on October IL
and was not lifted until December 1.
Three weeks later the ban was again
put on, December 81. and has been
continuous since.
The picture shows will he open
within few days. They will prob
ably reopen Sunday. although Guy
c. Matlock, manager of the Pastime
Co, today stated he was not prepared
TO make positive statement to that
effect.
