When they reached the threshold he
sank down on the steps, turned to the

you mind introducing me to the per-
son who threw that stone?"

100 Per Cent Relief.
"The aim of the organization Is 1On
per cent relief, the relief which puts
those aided on Self-supporting basis
which instills in them a confidence f0r
the future, places in their hands the
means with which to begin life anew
and in their hearts the courage TO 20
on. Work, that Is the prescription
subscribed and provided by those loyal
men and women who have journeyed
into perilous places for the sake OF
their fellow men: to make these PEG
pie independent for the future, to en-
courage the Pickering fire OF national
pride.
There are S2.29l workers employed
II. the industrial establishments of tho
Near East Relief, where wool is fur
nished for the women to spin and
weave, and all the girls who are stronc
enough are washing wool, sewing beds
grinding and sitting wheat, tailoring
and learning to make lace. The bi.
problem Is to make these women indie
pendent.
about 500 American men and wo
men, Near East Relief workers, are
now in the field. including SO eminent
physicians and surgeons, &c nurses. 7

Where Money Goes.
"Funds for relief purposes are dis
tributed in two ways: First, the vari
Gus relief centerS are authorized b,
the Executive Committee to draw sigh
drafts on New York for specifir
amounts each month; second, by sup
plies purchased in America. the major
portion Of which are shipped to the
committee warehouses at Derindje
and the remainder either to Beyroutl
or Batoum.
THE relief IS rapidly expanding ant
meeting the situation, but the future
depends on the continuation of Ameri
can support"
According to Mr. HemphiIl, the need
for American help to see the destitute
peoples Of the Near East through the
crisis of present conditions is greater
now than ever before on account of the
uncertainty as to the future, the trucu
lence Of the Turkish government and
the danger of bOlshevism from russia
which threatens to engulf the whole OF
Armenia.

this proved an interesting feature. The

PRESIDENT IN LAST SE TO CONGRESS- PLEADS FOR TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRACY
MACK'S LOVING FRIENDS
ARE NOW SUGGESTING
GUN MINUS SAFETY

There are lots Of geese in the
west end Of the county5..so far as
Mack Foster is concerned, there
probably will be just as many for
quite some time. The ! portly
farmer and sportsman has had
his goose hunt and after three
days. killed his goose. The other
99 are still breathing the glorious
air OF life and freedom.
Mr.. Foster has a ranch out
northwest. where geese are wont
10 congregate. He went hence
few days ago. dug pits and hunt
ed. Al least 100 came TO his
ranch, his friends say Some
alighted upon his hat the more
forward friends say, although
this liz not substantiated. AT any
rate. Mr.. Foster killed one of the
birds.
One reason advanced for the
light casualty list is Mr.. Fosters
accusation that Sol Baum sold
him shells without shot in them.
Another Is that they don't make
guns without safeties. The fact
that the safety on MIR. Fosters gun
was on IL blamed for most Of the
difficulty.

BUY BARREL OF FLOUR
MOVE WILL Be TAKEN
UP IN ENTIRE COUNTY
Every Commercial Body and
Newspaper Receives Re-
quest From Farm Bureau for
Aid; Householders to Help.

Every commercial body and every
newspaper in Umatilla county today
received a request from the county
farm bureau organization to lend its
aid toward putting across the Buy a
Barrel of Flour" movement. Pendle-
ton papers were asked to take up with
their grocery store advertisers the pro-
posals to place the slogan in all ads.
The Pendleton Commercial Associa-
tion tonight at its monthly meeting
will take action on this campaign.
Other bodies in the county are also to
take it up as quickly as possible
Householders in this city already are
-ak'ng hold Of the idea.
The farm bureau on Saturday urged
all its members and all farmers in the
county to get behind the movement by
buying a barrel of flour for their own
use. Householders in Pendleton like
wise are to be urged to day in their
supplies Of flour at once.
Local grocers already are sending in
orders TO the local mills for flour, the
millers reported this morning. with
only small stocks carried both by the
grocers and the millers. quickened
demand for flour would result in the
necessity for operating to supply the
local trade. With the movement coun-
ty, state and nationwide. mills would
soon be Obliged to get into the wheat
market for supplies and thus would
encourage the farmers to sell at a
price.
A barrel of flour constitutes but 1876
ounds and the retail price at present
around the $40 mark.

PLEA Of WIDOW AVERTS
SANTA ROSA LYNCHING

SANTA ROSA, Cal. Dec. IA.
P,)-The widow of Sheriff James A.
Petray alone prevented a crowd of his
friends from attempting to lynch
George Boyd, confessed slayer of
Sheriff Petray of Sonoma county, and
| Detective Miles NJ. jackson and Les
ter NJ. Dorman of San Francisco. and
Boyd's companions, Terrence Fits
and Charles Velanto. it became known
last night
The three officers were shot and
killed Sunday when they attempted
to arrest Boyd. alias George Barron.
Fits and Velanto in connection with
cntrages a set of gangsters are ac-
cused of perpetrating on young wo-
men in snail shack in Howard
street, San Francisco.
Following the arrest of the three
men a crowd surrounded the county
jail here and threatened violence. Two
attempts TO break into the Jail were
frustrated. During the excitement \
ssithering of former neighhors of
Sheriff Petray from Healdsburg went
/ to the home of the family. The
friends said they would break into the
/ jail and get the three accused men il
/ the Petray family desired that quick
vengeance. according to officials who
learned of the occurrence tonight.
! Mrs. Petray stood firm against the
proposal. it was declared. Her hus-
band was an officer of the law and
ilaw-abiding; it would be his wish the
law take its course, she is credited
with saying.
Two wrongs would not make 4
right" she declared.
According TO county officials the
withdrawal of these friends of the
sheriff was all that prevented an or
~aNized and successful assault on the
jail.
