The sheriff was Informed by tele phone last night the work of hunting down the men was unorganized dur ing the afternoon yesterday because of the excitement which prevailed when it became known that Sheriff Taylor had been shot. By nightfall, however, the disor ganized forces were gotten together and when the armed citizens and dep uties take up the trail at break of day this morning they will be under capable leadership and thoroughly oiganized. Mayor Praises Taylor. "Sheriff Taylor was the most Courageous, nervy and yet the most gentle and humane officer in the state," said Mayor Baker. "His death Is a great loss to the entire Pacific northwest. His death ehould and will make it tough for all criminals in the future. "Sheriff Taylor was always ready to co-operate with Portland officials in the apprehension of criminals and whenever it was necessary he would hasten to Portland to give us the benefit of his years of experience In rounding up law-breakers. "Our police department will do everything within Its power to aid although I feel that before nightfall Monday the men who are wanted will be in the custody of the officials. i Those folks up in Umatilla county are the last people In the world that will etand for the sort of thing that hap pened at noon Sunday. They won't sleep until the guilty men. are again in custody." EN from every part of Oregon ere warm friends of Sheriff Taylor and recognized him as a man who knew no rear and -o was ever on t ie job as a peace offi cer. From these men came tributes to Sheriff Taylor, tributes of admi ration gained through the years of service of Sheriff Taylor, when he displayed the fact that he was a man who was ready to face his duty at all times. Some of the interviews gained yesterday in Portland follow: S. F. Livermore, Pendleton Til has been mighty lucky in the past. It's a shame that he had to get it from a bunch of dirty rats. He was a wonderful sheriff and we who live in Pendleton know that we will never have another peace officer who will be like him. R. S. Schwalbe, Pendleton It is hard to believe that Sheriff Taylor gone. He has come out on top in many desperate battles that it doesn't seem, possible that someone got him. Oregon has lost its great est peace officer and Umatilla county has suffered a loss that is irrepar able. E. B. (Pat) Mahaffey, Bend I pre- the remainder of the time as sheriff, into Til Taylor's heart. But his time arrived. It's too bad. Pendleton and Umatilla have sustained a genuine loss which it will be difficult to over come. William L. Thompson, vice-president First National bank. city, and formerly Pendleton banker Til Tay lor was one of the finest men who ever wore a pair of shoes. He was a square shooter at all times. He was absolutely fearless and always gave everybody a square deal. He was loved by men, women and children and his tragic death is a serious blow to the state of Oregon. - Thomas M. Hurlburt, sheriff Til Taylor was the greatest sheriff the state of Oregon ever had. He did not know the meaning of the word fear, and when he went after a man he always got him. He was feared by lawbreakers and universally loved and admired by the forces of law and order. The entire state will miss Til Taylor and miss him deeply. Dr. Charles J. Smith, formerly of Pendleton, now of Portland: "Sheriff Taylor has been in the sheriff's office of Umatilla county for the last 20 years, four years as under-sheriff and COX IS ADVOCATE OF U.S. OWNERSHIP Agriculture Alone Exempted From Federal Control.

Miss Lenore Coon. 23, a prominent young- woman of this city, is in the hospital suffering serious internal in juries sustained late this afternoon when an automobile in which she was riding went into the ditch near Au rora. Other members of the party injured were Ivan Farmer, driver, of the Farmer Hardware company of salem, slightly bruised, and Edward Fams, traveling salesman of the W. P. Ful ler company of Portland, severely cut about the face, hands and body. Mrs. Farmer escaped unhurt. The party was on its way to Port land, Miss Coon being the guest of Mr .and Mrs. Farmer, when one of the front wheels of the machine came off suddenly and the car careened its rolling way into the fill at the side of the road. The car was said to have been going about 25 miles an hour at the time. Passing motorists picked up the ictims of the accident and brought them to Salem. Miss Coon was formerly employed in one of the state departments but recently had been an assistant in the office of Dr. O. L. Scott. diet that there will be a hot time In Pendleton tonight. It's a downright shame that old Til, who is a veteran of many battles, a man who did not know the definition of the word fear, should meet his death in the way he did. I have known Til Taylor for years and know that he was a man full of courage, ready to do all in his power to enforce the laws of our state. He was the greatest peace of ficer of the state. Herman von Borstel, Portland Sheriff Til Taylor was as fearless as a lion and as gentle as a lamb. He didn't have an enemy in the world. Even the crooks liked him for his nerve and' they all held him in respect. . Denton Burdick, Redmond Sher iff Taylor was one of my warmest friends. His death is lamentable. It is difficult to know what to say un der the circumstances. The dirty whelp who is responsible for his death is not only guilty of a terrible crime but has also robbed the state of Oregon of one of its grandest citizens and one of its most efficient serv ants. R. ' Carr, Pendleton Sheriff Taylor, or Til as we all knew him, never took a place in the background. He prob ably met hi3 death because of this fact. There was no criminal O" the face of the world who could throw a fear COURT TO HONOR CLERK Municipal Session This Morning to Be Omitted for Funeral.

The Trench troops have resumed their march on Damascus as a result of an attack on a French detachment by the troops of Prince Feisal, head of the Syrian state, after he had accent ed the ultimatum of General Gouraud The French are expected to ente Damascus this morning. He wa so popular that, although a democrat in a county three to one republican, he never faced serious op position. Til was a quiet, unassum ing man, who was pleasant at all times and always had a good word for everybody. I feel very badly to hear of his death, realizing that Lima tilla county has not alone suffered a terrible ' loss, but that the entire state of Oregon is the loser." Lee D. Drake, Pendleton Sheriff Taylor was a wonderful sheriff in many respects. He knew no fear and yet was as gentle as a woman. Until last week, when he caught Owena in the thumb with a bullet, he had never shot a man. He took far too many chances and he never drew4 his gun until it was absolutely neces sary. He was a wonderful horseman and has always been an athlete. At one time he was a member of a hose team that broke a world's record. He was Umatilla's most active man and his death comes not alone as a severe shock to his friends, but as a heavy blow. Roy W. Ritner, Pendleton Uma tilla county has lost in the death of Sheriff Taylor the best peace officer in the west. The Pendleton Round up association will lose its most val uable man in the association, and I have no idea who we can find to re place him. Stand of Democratic Nominee Is Taken When Representative . on March 27, 1912. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington. D. C, July 25. Governor James M. Cox, democratic nominee for nrpsident. wants government control of every utility except agriculture. This is not a hearsay statement, out a direct quotation from the official stenographic report of his speech as ade on the floor or congress, meoo are his exact words: I think that all utilities except that of agriculture should be held by the government. Governor Cox, then a memoer oi the house of representatives, made this statement during the course of a sneerh on March 27. 1912. It is re ported in full on page 3898 of the Con gressional ilecora OI mat aaie. Mr. Cox said: "Mr. Chairman: In all suggested legislation bearing upon land and homestead laws there are two mark edly different opinions the eastern view, which is very largely held by the persons who noia to tne moaern notions of conservation, and the. western view, that is shared by those who believe that the federal land re serves form -entirely too large a part of their states. It was perfectly ap parent in this house last Wednesday, and I think in the body at the other end of the capitol, when this bill was under discussion, that the wnoie country wants the homestead laws liberalized. There seems to be few, if any, dissenting voices in this house on the proposition to change the five year term to three years. Now, since the members are in accord upon this basic proposition and I speak as a friend of the measure that it is very inexpedient to confuse the main issue by any disagreement on the matters of utilities outside of agriculture. The desire to liberalize the statute is based upon the idea of getting more persons on the western lands. They go there presumably for the purpose of farming. "The persons' who have been op posed to liberalizing these laws have been dominated by the fear, more or les3 widespread, that many of these alleged homesteaders go there for the purpose of mineral exploitation, the exploitation of timber lands and other things. We all want the law adopted and passed, and 1 believe that the western members and the mem bers of the committee, in large part, are making a mistake , in opposing these amendments, which are now suggested. I think that all utilities except that of agriculture should be, held by the government." floor. Eagerly the thirsting pair sought, joyously they found a pole. Then they went fishing through the bars. Slowly, dexterously they coaxed a bottle along the wall to the door. Connie and Charley saw a whole fir mament of happiness before them, for three stars shone dully' on the bottle. Only the bottle never could pass between the bars but that .was enough. Charley split wide his key ring and used one sharp pointed end as a corkscrew. "Fine," said Connie when the bottle was empty. "Lesh fish again," urged Charley. This time they caught a square bottle within which glistened a crystal clear fluid. They were making their third cast when the' policeman who arrested them came to take them to court. 'You fellows have an awful hang over," eaid he after a glance. Then he saw the two empty bottles and sniffed the air. "I'm on," he said. "Revenue Officer Thrig has the key to this cell. Mean time come along with me." Charley and Connie were fined J5 each for their proceedings of last night. Then they were taken back to jail to be charged later with confiscating, concealing, making away with and otherwise destroying evidence that Revenue Officer Thrig seized in a raid on Friday.

Press in Erin and England Reflect Same View; Carson Says Britain Is Entirely Beaten. LONDON. July 25. Sir Horace Plunkett, founder of the Irish do minion league and leader of the mod erate Irish nationalist opinion, told Newcastle audience today that the situation in Ireland is more alarming than within his knowledge of 40 years. A similar view is reflected by the newspapers of England and Ireland. It found expression in the speeches Thursday in the house of commons. Even Sir Edward Carson declared he had never known anything like the state of anarchy prevailing and that in three-juarters of Ireland, the Brit ish government has been entirely beaten. Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief sec retary for Ireland, warned the coun try to brace itself against a bitter period. The rioting In Belfast subsided to day, but there are signs that the lull is only temporary. Both from Premier Lloyd George s statement to the labor delegation Thursday and from Sir Hamar's speech it is considered apparent tha the government regards that a part ing of the ways haa been reached. One road leads toward negotiation with the Sinn Fein, the basis of a domin ion form of government, while the other apparently leads toward the bitter period which Sir Hamar fore sees, with more soldiers and stricter laws for repression, foremost among them one for the' trial of criminals by summary courts, and the giving up of attempts to induce jurymen to answer a summons. tffBJaiHfEJHfi5J5T A Buildin With One Idea 3 mm The First National Bank Building is the most com plete building of its kind in the Pacific Northwest Its materials are the best money can buy.
