LEGISLATIVE tickets YET VERY UNSETTLED Col. II. O. Newport Only Avowed Candidate for Representative Sen. a tors Not Yet Entered Though Friends Urge Dr. Smith to Run Again Muhoney, Barrett and Mann May Want to Succeed Themselves. Umatilla county's political pot Is at last beginning to simmer, though the boiling point will probably not be reached for some time. So far as could be ascertained this afternoon, every one of the present officer hold ers with possibly one exception. Is to be a candidate for reflection. The one possible exception is Commission er H. B. Lee of Milton. It Is under stood, (hat his office has proved bur densome lo him and that he will not again be a candidate. County Clerk Sallng announced this afternoon that he would go before the republican electors as a candidate for re-nomination for Ins orflce, while County Recorder Hendley admitted thut his aspirations tended toward re election. Up to the present time no other re publican has been brave enough to announce himself as a candidate for the office which Sallng has now held for two terms. Among the demo crats, W. D. Chamberlain, who for merly held the office, Is being talked of but he has not yet unnounced his candidacy. Hendley is not to have absolutely clear sailing for the republican nom ination, according to present plans. Roy Rltner who was calendar clerk for the last legislature, is said to have had his eye on Hendley's position for some time and had laid his plans to capture the assembly nomination. No county assembly was held, however, and therefore there wns no nomina tion to be captured. Whether he will go before the people at the primary election remains to be seen. There Is one other candidate In the field, ac cording to rumor, and that Is Benja min S. Burroughs. The democrats seem to be willing to concede this office to the repub licans, for so far not a single mem ber of the "untorrifled" band has lift ed up his voice in an effort to even gain the support of his party for the nomination. Gilliland to Run. From present indications County JudKe Gillilianil will capture the nom ination of the- republican party for re- election, while James Johns is being groomed by his democratic friends to make the race against him. County Treasurer Bradley and Sher iff T. D. Taylor seem to be the most fortunate of the present office hold ers for It seems that they are to huve no opposition In their own or from tho opposition party. Though Taylor Is a democrat, the county's big re publican majority bus never caused him any serious inconvenience nnd it Is believed there will bo no oppo sition to his re-election. Represen tative Lj. L. Mann has been spoken of aa a republican candidate but friends who nre close to him declare the big farmer will not accept the nomination and would not have the office if it were handed to him on a Bllver tray. If Commissioner Lee Is not to run again, his office is one that has not ywt developed a candidate. With Walker rt presenting the west end of tjie county nnd Judge Gllliland repre senting Pendleton and the south end, I" would seem that Lee's successor will be chosen from the east end. County School Superintendent Wel les, Assessor Strain, Circuit Judga Benn and District Attorney Phelps are all hold-overs, Ictrlslntlve Situation Unsettled. So far ns the legislative situation Is concerned, Col. II. O. Newport of KING OF ROBREHK DIES HONEST MAN. west tswansey, i. u., juiy 13. Happy that he had abandoned the "profession" and died hon- est among friends, Charley Ad- ami, king of burglars, whose real name was Langdon Moore, died here today. Ho lived straight for 14 years. Adams' biggest haul was In connection with tho robbery of the Con- cord National bank In ' 1865 when he secured $306,000. In 1870 he robbed the bank at Rockland. Maine of $200,000, and was captured and sentenced e to IB years.' He estimated to have paid fully a million dol- lsrs during his career for police protection. MM Hermlston, Is the" only avowed candi date. He Is out for representative But there are four other positions to be filled. Two representatives are to be elected from this county and one Joint representative from Umatilla and Morrow. One senator and one Joint senator from Umatilla and Union, are also to be elected. Dr. W, G, Cole, who is the Joint senator at present will not be a candidate for re-election so It is understood. Senator C. J. Smith Iibh not an nounced his candidacy for reelection as senator from this county, but he Is being urged to run again. So fur, he is the only man talked of for his present position. T. J. Mahoney of Heppner, Is thJ Joint representative and unless he oap. tures the nomination of the republican party, his successor will probably be a resident of Umatilla county. Neith er Representative Barrett or Mann have yet announced their candidacy but both are being urged to make the race and it Is probable that they will do so. Barrett has served two terms and Mann one. . CATTLE HUSTLERS INFEST IDAHO AND NEVADA Boise, July 13. According to a re port Just made by Commissioner Day of the state land office, a band of white cattle rustlers are operat ing In southern Idaho and northern Nevada. Hundreds of cattle have disappeared during the last six months and cowmen report the dis covery of corralls and saddles, show ing the presence of whites. It Is be lieved the white rustlers met and killed a band of Indian horse stealers. J which until today's report, was held j responsible for the thievery. An in vestlgatlJn is demanded by the ranch ers and It Is probable Nevada and Idaho will combine to run the out laws to earth. NOT MAN V CITIES ASK FOR POSTAL SAVINGS HANK Washington, July 12. Because postmasters are slow about asking re garding the establishment of a postal savings bank, the bank advisory board have chosen cities without waiting for the requests. Postmaster General Hitchcock stated San Fran cisco will be one of the first to try out the new system. Hitchcock said only a few requests for banks have come In. "But It is natural post masters do not want more work with no additional pay," he said.

IS T Russia and Japan Frame up New Treaty Which May Cause Trouble. f . if . i OTHER POWERS WILL OPPOSE AGREEMENT Diplomat Agree That New Treaty Made Public Today Has Effect of shutting "Oicn Door" in Man churia Practically Nullifies Pre ceding Clause Wliioli Says Present Situation Shall Continue. London. July 1J. That Japan and Russia, through their new treaty made public today have slammed shut the "open door" In Manchuria is the tacit admission of diplomats here. It is the general belief that the United States and England and also other powers will oppose the new agreement. The third clause of the treaty is expected to prove atrouble maker. It says In event that any thing arises of a nature to menace the status quo, the two countries shall communicate to each an understand ing as to the measure Judged neces sary to maintain the status quo. The second clause is a promise to main tain the situation as it is now, but the third clause is regarded as a cancel er of the second. Should America, England and other countries become formidable lit Manchuria, Russia or Japan could deem them menaces, to the status quo and could lake action. KILLS AN INDIAN WHO TRIED TO TAKE HORSES North Yakima, Wash. Claiming that an Indian, with whom he lodged for the night, broke the bonds of hospitality by attempting to make away with his horses, and fjy threat ening him with a knife, John Frank lin Krotser shot and killed an Indian, whose name is unknown, near Satus Creek, Sunday.

OPEN SLAMMED FIVE DIE WHEN DBIE FALLS Great Balloon Falls From Height of 5000 Feet When Gas Bag Explodes. OSCAR FKsLOEH AND FOUR OTHERS KILLED Another lYagedy Written in History of Aviation Germany Scene of Latest Disaster Dirigible Ersloeh Falls Great Distance, Carrying live (Vc-iiaiits io Deatii Bodies Hor ribly Mangled Airship Had Been Carefully Tested. Cologne, July 13. Carrying five men to death, the dirigible baloon Ersloeh fell 5000 feet today near Pas cheid, in west Germany. The airship was a sixth as large af Zeppelin's di rigible and had made a number of successful flights. It ascended before sunrise at Dusseldorf and the gas bag exploded after it had been in the air 45 minuus. It is believed the sun expanded the gas. Some aeronauts believe the gasoline motors burst and ignited tile gas. The car turned over before those inside could leap. The engines bur ied themselves deep in the ground, while the men were half buried by the fearful impact. The accident was wi'nessed at Pacheid. Soldiers In au tos were despatched with physicians, and the aeronauts were dragged from the debris Their bodies -were man gled teiribly, indicating they died in sMntly. The dirigible was registered in the Rhelms Aerial club and the craft underwent severe tests and passe, the examinations successfully. The uccupunt.-i were Oscar Ersloeh, two lnechanicans and two passengers. Ersloeh was one of the best known European b.illoonists. NEW USELESS INVENTION mil DIRECTING AEROSTATS London, July 13. At the Bourne mouth aviation meet tomorrow T. R. Phillips, the Liverpool inventor-engineer, will attempt a demonstration in connection with an aeroplane of his new invention for controlling and di recting aerostats by etherically trans mitted electricity. Phillips recently gave a demonstra tion with a 20-foot Zeppelin airship and showed his ability to raise, lower drive, stop and turn it at will by the manipulation of the keyboard of a transmitter. Phillips claims the prin ciple is applicable to man-carrying airships and aeroplanes, but primarily l.i intended for aerial torpedoes. "I can sit In an arm chair In Lon don." he says, "and make an airship drop a bunch of flowers in a friend's garden in Manchester, Paris or Ber lin, and with equal ease I can make It drop explosives wherever I like. I believe it will revolutionize the ex isting methods of warfare. I have offered the invention to the British government, which will Inspect it soon." A test that was carried out recently shows it Is possible to diagnose heart troubles by telephone a distance of 100 miles. The experiment was conduct ed between Mr. Milne's house on the Isle of Wright, where the seismolo gist and four physicians, using an or dinary telephone, listened Interestedly to tho beating of a woman's heart in London. A stethoscope held over her heart in the familiar manner was attached to n telephone recently Invented by Sydney Brown by means of which sounds are magnified. Vbollsh Uamons Prison. Dublin, July 13 Kilmninham gaol, n historic prison of many of the most famous of Irish political agitators, was formally put out of commission today and will likely never be reop ened. For sometime the structure has been practically tenantless, owlnR- to the decrease In crime nnd criminals. During the trouble,! days of 1SS0 K'lmaiuham received hosts of "sus nct of which Gladstone was the au e t of which Gladstone was the au thor. Pnrncll himself and a number of his lieutenants were among the prisoners at this time. It was from Kllmainham that 'he famous refiant counsel to the tenant farmers of Ire Innd interpreted by the Unionist par ty as a "no-rent manifesto," was Is sued. It was whice Parnell and his col lecgi'.es were in Kllmainham that the negotliitlons with the government took place, which arc said to have resulted in what was called the "Kllmainnham treaty." Mr. Parnell was In Kllmainham from October 13, 18S1, to May 2. 1SS2. On to,- day of his release Mr. Foster resigned the chief secretaryship. He would not, It was said, "give up coer cion."

CHAMPION BANANA EATER CHALLENGES ALL COMERS Ottumwa, la., July 13. Charles E. Allen, a railroad trainman residing In this city, claims to be the cham pion catch-as-catch-ean ground-and-lofty banana eater of the world, and to maintain his title has issued a challenge to all other banana eaters, offering to meet them for $100 or more a side. Discussing his record, Allen says: "About two or three years ago I read the account of a man eating twelve bananas In four minutes and I said I believed I could beat it; my conductor bet me I could not. I made the bet to eat them In three min utes, and I ate thirteen in two min utes and twenty-five seconds, and peeled them myself. "I read the account of John Shamp of Wnrthnm, Mass., eating twenty bananas in twenty minutes on a bet. I can beat him to a standstill and did not half try. "I am very fond of bananas "I bet with a grocer in St. Joseph, Mo., J. H. Kelly, and ate eight dozen and a quarter in about thirty or thirty-three minutes. At another time I ate 157 in about two hours and thirty minutes, but I did not do it on a bet, but because I like them. It is a com mon thing for me to go to the store and get four dozen bananas and eat them. I have lived on them exclus ively for months at a time." BERLIN GAVE A GREAT RECEPTION TO PASMORES Few American artists can boast of such a reception as that accorded the Pasmore trio upon their recent visit to Berlin. These gifted artists played thirty-four concerts in the German capital, an achievement never before accomplished by any group of American musicians. One of the greatest of their triumphs was the last recital given at the memorial church of Kaiser Wilhelm the First, which was attended by the Royal family. It was at this rectital that the German emperor delegated one of his ministers to formally thank Mary Pasmore for the pleasure derived from her violin solos. The German critics have been as high In their praise as the Ameri can press. The Pasmores plan to tour Germany. Austria and Russia next season. In the Austrian capital they will be the guest of the noted virtu oso and court pianist, Xavir Schar wenka. with whom Suzanne Pasmore studied some -years ago.

Colonel Roosevelt today will hear the argu- merits of the New Tork republican machine leaders against Hughes legis lative nnliticnl nroeram. Hushes left today for Washington. The republi can state chairman, Timothy Wood ruff, arrived at Sagamore Hill this morning and was Roosevelt's guest for luncheon. Hughes remained at Roosevelt's house all night and had a long conference with T. R. after which he said "He had nothing to say."

Much larger and better nnd covering a wid er range of interests than ever be fore, the annual Manitoba Industrial Exhibition was opened here today and will continue ten days. Thousands of visitors from the states, including many prospective homeseekers, are expected to swell the attendance and later add to the permanent population and wealth of the province. Manitoba and other western provinces of Canada are largely settled by former citizens of the United States who have renounc ed their country and became sub jects of King George, and the influx from across the border is rapidly be- coming a rush.

BED MISER IKS ITER i I Germany Comes to Her Sen ses and Contradicts State ment of Defiance. DIPLOMATIC TANGLE RESl'UT OF BADLY CROSSED WIRES German Officials Acted Prematurely Through Jumping at Conclusion Were Under Impression that JC tary Knox Had Published Madria's Letter Learn Mistake and I'"1 to Rectify It Third Statement Seat Out Is Conciliatory. . Subordinates Caused It. Berlin, July 13. Yesterday s statetments are explained today by the fact that the two subord - nates in the foreign office tti- deavored to meet what appeared to be a critical situation during the absence of Privy councilor Harmon. Each gave out a cou- flicting statement without au- thority, it is said. Berlin, July 12. A case of badly twisted wires seems the only explan ation of yesterday's tempest resulting from Germany's attitude towards the United States in the Madrix letter in cident. It seems the trouble hinge entirely on the mistake of the Ger man foreign office in jumping to the conclusion that the state department published the kaiser's letter to Mai nz, endorsing his election. When the German officials had exploded pre maturely and had found out that Washington had not published the let ter, they did a rapid right about face. Yesterday the foreign department gave to the United Press two state ments one of which said Germany refused to recognize any right en the part of the United States to supervise her diplomatic relation with any country or South American republic. It amounted to throwing down the gauntlet. In the same evening- they denied this in a third statement. The third was like the first conciliatory. German papers, inspired by the government, followed suit and sub situated pacifying articles for their earlier caustic ones. .Woclated Press Wrong, lieiiin. July 13. The foreign of fice this afternoon authorized the I'nlted Press to state that office haj not denied any of the -content of dispatches carried by the United Press yesterday. The Associated Press this morning declared the foreign offl.-e had issued a denial of these state ments. The foreign office declares the Associated Press was unautv. ril ed to do so. Uncle Sam satisfied. Washington, D. C, July 13 Offi cial Washington views with satisfac tion the calming down of Germany. The state department has taken nc of ficial notice of the matter and no de velopments are expected. It is ben erally believed that the last concilia tory statement of the German foreign office accentuates the power of the Monroe doctrine, and shows the world that Germany has no desire to opi se the doctrine. Canada's Pilot for 14 Years. Ottawa, Can., July 13. Sir Wilfrid Laurier today entered uponJiis fif teenth year as pilot of Canada's ship oi state.

July 13.-Jo- seph Spiggnao. a blacktumd agent, today shot and killed John Manzela. a wealthy Sic l- Ian merchant who refused the demand for money and then was himself shot and killed by Mur.- zella's daughter ns he tried to escape. Sptggnan entered Mac- zella's store at daylight. Man- zella refused to be blackmailed whereupon Spiggnao drew a re- volver and shot him through the heart, and then ran. Tin girl heard the dispute and came to her father's relief and kMled the murderer on the street. t
