At the meeting of the Farmers' Union, he.ld today, it is understood, action was taken to thwart the move of the Pa cific Telephone & Telegraph Company in carrying out Its plan to increase the rate of switching from tS per year to $8.40. Circular letters, which were sent out from the local office, state that the rate will become effective Judy 1. Spokane men were in Walla Walla . week ago looking 'over the field with a view cf entering the field. They have been given every encouragement. The farmers assert when they united their lines with the Bell system it was with the understanding they were-not to be charged more than J6 per year for the connection with city lines. The com pany says the rate was made to induce the use of the telephone and that services cannot be given at a profit for that sum. The farmers are obliged to keep up their own lines and maintain their own instru ments. GATE HITS; THREE HURT Infant May Die as Result of Acci dent on S. P. Tracks. .

East First and Morrison street suddenly dropped a gate and completely demol ished a light vehicle in which they were riding 'at 7 o'clock Saturday night. Every effort was adopted by those con cerned to suppress the details of the ac cident. Several witnesses state, how ever, that Watt, who was driving a single horse and buggy neared the tracks as a switch engine was shunting a etring of cars in the yards several hundred feet south of crossing. Apparently the operator in the tower did not observe the moving vehicle and lowered the heavy arm. It fell with great force striking the child. Mrs Watt and her husband, injuring them all.

CHEHALIS WILL CELEBRATE Baseball Series and Street Vaude ville Included in Programme. CHEHALIS. Wash.. June 26. (Special.) The report that has been published that Chehalis would not celebrate the Fourth of July is an error. The citizens of Che halls have subscribed a big fund and will pull off the biggest kind of a celebration. In fact, the doings will begin on Satur day. July 2. when a three days' baseball series will begin, between the Chehalis League. There will be baseball Satur day, July 2, two games on Sunday, and a game the afternoon of the Fourth at Millett Field.- The renowned Fielder Jones will play center for Chehalis. On the Fourth there will be free street vaudeville shows, athletic, contests, patri otic programme and other entertainment intended to meet the wishes and pleasure of all classes of people. The report sent out from .Centralia was in effect that the celebration here had been abandoned and that in its stead the people of Chehalis and Centralia would hold a Joint celebration at the Southwest Washington state fair grounds midway between the two cities to mark the opening of the electric line between the two places. Such a celebration will be held later, but it will in no matter interfere with the big doings here on the Fourth, for which funds have been paid in and arrangements fully made. SPEAKER APPROVES ALL WORK OF COXGRESS GOOD, CAN NON' DECLARES. Parting Words of Uncle Joe Are of Optimism and Satisfied and " Gratified Restrospect. , ' - WASHINGTON, June 26. Speaker Cannon in a statement issued Just be fore Congress adjourned declared he had nothing to apologize for as a mem ber of the House or as a Speaker, and he presumed each member could ex press similar sentiment. "This has been at times a strenuous session," said the Speaker. "Virile men acting in a great representative body, . earnest, positive, sometimes in doubt or otherwise say that which, if conditions were different, they would not say. So that, in sharp contests, when sober, second thought comes, broad men realize that positive men don't hold responsible their colleagues who under the influence of passion or otherwise speak in detriment that which they would not say in moments when they were cool. "As we pass from Washington to our homes I shall go. putting behind me the contests through which the House has passed, without malice. "In my judgment the two sessions of the past Congress have accomplished more and done better work than any other Congress of which I have been a member." Representative Champ Clark, Demo cratic leader In the House commenting tonight upon the result of the last ses sion of the Legislature said: "The Republicans are at their old game of claiming everything and are whistling to keep up their courage while going through a graveyard. They are now brag ging that they have fulfilled their prom ises. Their biggest promise, i. e.. their promise to revise the tariff downward, they utterly failed to fulfill. On the con trary they revised it upward and for so doing are in for a good trouncing." ANGELL IS IN DISFAVOR O. A. C. ex-Physical Director in . Many Disagreements. Behind the resignation of E. D. -Angell, physical director of the Ore gon Agricultural College, is a long story of disagreement amng Angell, the faculty and the student body. It is asserted by . the students and fac ulty that Angell has taken advantage of his position to be unusually un pleasant. That he has had prolonged disagreements has been common knowledge at Corvallis, and ever since he forbade the use of the armory for the student ball the general unpleas antness has been known outside the institution. Angell gave a voluntary verbal resignation over a week ago, pre sumably caused by an action taken by the student body, although Angell as serts it was because of lack of sup port from the faculty. These charges are generally denied. Recently a committee of the student body approached President Kerr and asked that a consultation of the fac ulty with the committee be held. It was then made plain that It was de sired to change the control of athletics from Angell to a committee, one of whom should be the physical director. As an amendment to the constitution of the student assembly certain by laws were presented for approval to President Kerr. Among them was one which provided that athletics should be presided over by a board of control. This board was to consist of three members of the faculty, one of whom was to be the physical director, two members of the student assembly, one of whom was to be auditor; one member of the alumni and the gradu ate manager. President Kerr approved the amend ments and advised that the board hold regular meetings; further that he would depend upon the board to main tain harmony throughout all athletic work. The letter of approval concluded: "It should be the special ambition of the board to cultivate - and maintain in athletic work the same ideals and high standard of conduct that are ex pected to prevail throughout the other departments of the institution." . Director Angell gave his oral resig nation immediately upon receiving a copy of this letter. - The new board of control then met without consulting Angell, as he was no longer a member of that body, and appointed George Schildmueller. - of Dartmouth, football coach in place of Sol Metzger. Angell yesterday was unaware of this action and gave, as the reason for his resignation the Tact that Metzger was retained. At the same time Angell made charges that there were tainted athletics at the college; that he- stood for clean athletics and could not tolerate the reverse. Las night Professor Kerr said it was quite true that Director Angell stood tor- clean athletics, and had it riot been so, the college would not have retained him. Regarding the charge of professionalism. Professor Kerr said: "So far as I know, ' no one has at tempted to play who was ineligible and no one has played in violation of the conference regulations. "It is a gross injustice to the foot ball team to say or even to- imply there were professionals on the team or that the conduct of the team was discedit able. As a matter of fact all mem bers were students pursuing the full course of study, and so far 'as I know, deported themselves in a gentlemanly and creditable manner." Professor Kerr declined to discuss the differences between Angell and the students and faculty. But inasmuch as Angell was not even informed that Metzger had not been reappoined. it is generally 'agreed he was disliked on all sides. Angell left yesterday for the East to take up physical work in the play grounds at Worcester. Mass. He Is a man of excellent record as an ath lete and physical director. Schild mueller, Metzger's successor, is gen erally resognzed as a man of sterling worth as a coach and. a thorough up holder of clean athletics in all ways. SPOKANE RLGULARS RDUT INSURGENTS Poindexter Adherents Driven to Tall Grass in Republican Convention. HAM IS CHOSEN CHAIRMAN Delegates Chosen to State Conven tion Whose Avowed Principles Are Decidedly Anti-Insurgent. SPOKANE, Wash., .. June -26. (Spe cial.) Poindexter's insurgents took to the tall grass at the Spokane County Republican Convention Saturday after noon, when 'their weakness1 was shown in the contest for the chairmanship. Police Judge S. A. Mann, candidate for Representative, and friend of tho insurgents, was shoved down the line by a vote of 202 to 92, the regulars electing David T. Ham, county chair- man, .head of the convention, and later electing delegates to the state conven tion, whose aspect is decidedly anti insurgent. Rumors of war before the meeting in the Elks Temple fell upon eager ears, for Rufus R. Wilson, Poindex ter's manager, had noised about that he intended to start something and the insurgents settled on Judge Mann for the chair. Friends of John L. Wilson and Judge Burke, however, hushed the something that Wilson btarted and had things all their own way. The second tilt of the day came when the report of the committee on rules was read. An insurgent delegate ob jected to the provision that resolutions should be referred to the committee on rules without debate, but on the ensu ing vote the victory of the regulars was almost unanimous. The report of the committee on res olutions was unanimously adopted. The committee presented a supplementary report, eulogizing the late Congressman Francis W. Cushman, the late Governor Samuel G. Cosgrove and the late ex Governor John H. McGraw. The adop tion of this report was unanimous. The report of the committee on reso lutions was in part as follows: "The Republican party of Spokane County in convention assembled, reaf firms its faith in and allegiance to the great' Republican party. "The Republican party, of Spokane County also renews its faith in and allegiance to the great leader of that party. President William H. Taft. - "We commend and approve the effi cient, economical and businesslike ad ministration of state affairs by our fellow-citizen. Governor M. E. Hay, and the other Republican state officials. "We recommend that a copy of these resolutions, so far as they pertain ' to the President and the National Admin istration, be transmitted by telegraph to President Taft." . .. D. T. Ham and S. A. Mann were then nominated ,for chairman. , At the start of the rollcall the can didates broke about even, but as the list of city precincts progressed it was demonstrated that the larger delega tions were for D. T. Ham. " . A Spokane delegation of 82 Republi cans with a good safe majority of .standpatters was selected, headed by Governor Hay. BODY TO BE SENT NORTH T. R.

ILLINOIS NOT WORRYING Chicago Resident Says Little Atten tion Is Paid to Charges. C. H. Moore, Jr., who arrived from Chicago yesterday and is staying at the Portland Hotel, asserted last night that little attention is being paid the charges of bribery against Senator Lcrimer. either in Chicago or the State of Illinois. Mr. Moore said he would not express his opinion as to the guiltvpf the Senator; neither would he comment on the cases of the sev eral rtepresentatives who have been indicted both in Chicago and Spring field on the charge of accepting bribes, to vote for Lorimer. "Although the ' papers are saying a great deal about ' Senator Lorimer," said Mr. Moore, "the people are pay ing very little attention to the charges." MADRIZ MAY BE LOSER Estrada Demands Uncle Sam Stop Steamer. v WASHINGTON. June 26. Dr. Salva dor Ca8trlllo, Estrada's representative here, today demanded of Secretary Knox that the commander of American warships in Nicaraguan waters be in structed to intercept the Columbia, which cleared from New Orleans on Friday, and to seize the munitions of war which she is alleged to be carry ing consigned to Julian Irias, the Mad riz commander. It is alleged in the demand that the Columbia carries. particularly, three high-power gasoline launches. Intended to augment , the equipment- of the steamer Venus, which is now in Nica raguan waters equipped as a cruiser. Dr. Castrlllo's note asserts that the State Department has already recog nized the sailing of the Venus as a violation of the neutrality laws, and that she carries an expedition in an "unlawful and clandestine manner." It Is set forth that, the cargo of the Columbia, being Intended to aug ment the equipment of the Venus, is also contraband of war and should be seized by this Government. Assistant Secretary of State Wilson had a conference with law officers of the Department as to the authority of the United States to prevent the land ing in Nicaragua. BIG SYNDICATE BACKIXG WAR Missouri Senator Would Have Uncle Sam Recognize Madriz. WASHINGTON, June 26. In the Senate Saturday Senator I Stone said he had been informed that a syndicate bad been organized in the United States to ex ploit the finances of Nicaragua and that the syndicate had been represented In Washington by a former high official of the State Department. Senator Stone said there was no sound reason why the United States should not establish diplomatic relations with Madriz. The idea of this Government protecting Americans at Bluefields the Senator ridiculed, declaring 'the only Americans there were engaged in doubt ful enterprises". Senator Stone's statement followed his lntroductlon-'of aresolution directing the committee on foreign relations to make a general investigation as to the relations between the United States end Nicara gua. The resolution would direct special in quiry Into the . question whether the property rights or lives of citizens of the United States had been in jeopardy in Nicaragua, and especially "to ascertain whether any effort had been made by persons representing financial interests in the United States to refund or other wise control the adjustment of the debt of Nicaragua or of claims against the government of Nicaragua, -and if so in what manner and to what extent any such effort had been made and carried on.". . Chairman Cullom, of the committee on foreign relations, said the Secretary of State had made a full and satisfactory explanation to the committee. Mr.. Cul lom announced his disbelief that anyone connected with the State Department had been guilty of any wrongdoing. ITALIAN SLASHES WIFE MRS. FILOMEXA'S WAYWARD NESS ALMOST COSTS LIFE.

That strained relations, of no uncertain char acter, exist here between ttie citizens of the Interbay district and Lieutenant-Colonel Miller, commander at Fort Lawton, over the question of the retention of the colored troops at the poet, came out Sat urday at a conference in which Secretary of War Dickinson played an important role. Mr. Dlcksinson is in the city on his trip around the world and when it be came known that he would visit the fort a conference was arranged, that he might hear both sides of the question of dis posing of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry. Almost at the opening of the meeting W. D. Mackay, a member of the committee, started to engage in personalities upon Colonel Miller, but before he was fairl launched in his denunciation Secretary Dickinson intervened and smoothed over the difficulty. As soon as the Secretary arrived he asked Colonel Miller if a committee was awaiting him and upon being informed that it was, dispatched a courteous mes sage to F. S. Stelner requesting that the meeting await the inspection of the troops and barracks. Secretary Dickinson prepared the fol lowing statement for the Associated Press: "The Secretary of War reviewed the troops and Inspected the quarters at Fort Lawton this afternoon. He had an In terview at headquarters in the presence of Lieutenant-Colonel Miller, commander of the post, with F. S. Stelner and other members of a committee of citizens living in the vicinity of Fort Lawton, who re quested the removal of the colored troops from that vicinity. The committee said that various outrages had been com mitted and that they had affidavits show ing they had been made. "The Secretary of War said that one case of misconduct upon the part of the colored troops had been called to the at tention of Colonel Miller; that any com plaints brought to the attention of Colo nel Miller would be promptly investigated and properly dealt with; that the party charged with an outrage bad been turned over to the civil authorities to be dealt with according to the law of the state. He said that he had fully considered their complaints from their viewpoint, but they. must also consider the attitude of the Government. f . "The . law requires the colored regi ments and those regiments must be maintained by the administrators of the War Department. Congress alone could abolish them. The executive branch of the Government must, while they exist, provide for them. If they violated the laws they were subject to punishment, but if an entire command should be removed from a community on account of one man, the innocent would be punished for the guilty and any community to which they might be removed would, in all probability, protest and so upon the strength of local opinion parts of the Army would be moved from place to place. Thus the administration of the Army to this extent would be controlled by local sentiment. This could not be considered." , "I am going to fee the Philippine A' CONSERVATIVE CUSTODIAN HIBERNIA SAVINGS BANK DOES A General Banking ' Business Pays Interest on Savings and Time Deposits ' Cor.

"There is no evidence adduced which showed that Mr. Balllnger was guilty of Any official misconduct," said Mr. Dickinson in discussing the Ballinger Pinchot investigation. "He is an able and efficient and public official. "President Taft has carried out most of the features of his legislative pro gramme. Now that the railroad bill has passed, the - financial condition should improve, now the disturbing factor of uncertainty has been re moved." ROOSEVELT TO AID WORK Third-Term Proposition to Be Put to Albany Incumbent. OYSTER BAT, June 26. Theodore Roosevelt may never make another po litical speech, as he told the newspaper men the other day. but he is : going to roll up his sleeves' and plunge Into the thick of the political fight to be waged this Fall for the control of New York State. The Colonel persists in his refusal to talk politics for publication, but nevertheless it may be said with au thority that he will devote his every effort to save the Republican party from the -defeat which he thinks men aces it in New Tork State. Positive Information to this effect was received here last night. In the course o an interview which Mr. Roosevelt granted this afternoon, the ex-President was asked when Governor Hughes was expected. He answered: "Really, I do not know." "Well, Colonel, are you willing to say why Governor Hughes is coming and what you are likely to talk about?" was the next question. The Colonel declined to discuss the significance of the Governor's visit. Out of the coming conference be tween Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Hughes will issue an articulated policy. The Governor and the ex-President will go over the entire political situation in New York State as it is today. Mr. Roosevelt will indicate his belief that if Governor Hughes accepts a place on the United States Supreme bench, as the Governor already has signified his intention to do, and thus withdraws entirely from active politics, the re sult may be disastrous to his party. Mr. Roosevelt may not, and probably will not. require the Governor in eo many words to become a candidate for a third term. He will present the situation as he sees It, leave it to the Governor to decide after he has learned Colonel Roosevelt's views. A decision to accept a third nomination would carry with it a full understanding that in the event of a Republican defeat, Governor Hughes would find himself with neither a seat on the bench nor in the executive chamber. Colonel Roosevelt gave the newspaper men Saturday his first interview of any length since his return from abroad. He was asked If he had not invited a num ber of political leaders, both "regulars' and "insurgents" to accept his hospi tality. ' "With the exception of Governor Hughes," he answered, "I have invited no one here except to make social visits." - "Shall you see President Taft at Beverley when you go to Cambridge for the Harvard commencement next week? "I don't know," was his only reply. There were 13 guests at the luncheon by Colonel Roosevelt today, ten of whom had come all the way from Peoria, 111., with an invitation from Archbishop Spald ing asking him to speak before the Knights of Columbus there October 12. MEAT COST CUTS PAYROLL Walla, Walla Plant on Half Shirt. People Turn Vegetarians. WALLA WALLA. Wash., June 26. (Special.) It is not known whether Walla Wallans have turned vegetarians or quit eating meat, owing to the high cost of that commodity, but, nevertheless, the Walla Walla Meat & Cold Storage Company is working less than half shift and may close down altogether. This fact is all the more astonishing when It Is considered it is the only plant of any size In the southeastern part of the state. The Walla Walla Meat & Cold Storage Company also has several meat markets in the .city. Clerks have been let go while less than half the usual number of men are at work in the plant. TELEPHONE USED BY DOG Locked In Office It Tries to Call TTp Its Master. LONDON. June 25. (Special.) This is the latest dog story in Europe, and -the most sceptical Britishers are swallow ing it. The operator at Grimsby Telephone Exchange received an unexpected call from the premises of J. M. Turney, Limited, a local firm of wholesale to bacconists, early Sunday morning. Putting the Instrument to his ear, his surprise developed into wonder ment, for all he could get in reply to the usual query, "What number, please?" was the vigorous barking of a dog. Coming to the. conclusion that there were burglars in the place the operator informed the police. In the meantime, the owner of the dog suddenly remem bering that he had loft the animal, a fox-terrier, in the office, had gone to the premises to release it. When he arrived he found a couple or police of ficers about to force an entrance. Their astonishment was great when, reach ing the office, they round that the ter rier had climbed onto a desk five feet lumbermens National Bank CORNER FIFTH AND STARK STREETS PORTLAND, OREGON .
