" B- LOWELL FIGHTS THE ASSEMBLY ''New Nationalism" Calls for Defeat of Oregon Machine Clique and Their Slate. REPUBLICAN'S URGED TO CLEANSE PARTY Local Republican Leader Would Down Assembly Ticket From Top to Bottom DUnlck la Progressive Candidate Against Bowerman, the Reactionary Anti-Assembly Men Should Unite and Not Wage Futile . Fight. Ur Pendleton, Sept. 12, 1910. To the Editor: Whether or not men agree with the attitude of Theodore Roosevelt upon many of the multitudinous subjects which be discusses, It must be admit ted that in hla now famed speech delivered at Osawatomle, Kansas, on August 81, he has formulated a plat form upon which the patriotic elec torate can unite In the approaching elections. The planks of the plat form are not original, but the fact that he la the spectacular figure of our age gives him the center of the stage, bis utterances command attention and serve to crystallze public sentiment as nothing else can do. It may be in teresting to note what the seventeen planks, couched In concrete language are. To my mind they represent the sentiment of the American firesides, the thought and hope of the average man. They are as follows: 1. Com plete and effective publicity of cor porate affairs; 2. Prohibition of the use of corporate' funds for political purposes; 2. Government supervision of the capitalization of all corpora tions doing an Interstate business; 4 - Franchises given only for a lim ited time, and with compensation to the public; E. The same supervision over combinations that control the necessaries of life, such aa meat, oil and coal, aa over public service cor porations; 6. Directors of corpora tions to be held personally responsi ble If corporations break the law: 7 Combinations In Industry are neces sary, but they should be controlled in the Interest of public welfare; 8. An expert tariff commission; 9. A graduated income tax on big fortunes, wltb a graduated Inheritance tax; 10. A scientific revision of our fi nancial system so aa to prevent those recurring panics from ' which other countries are free: 11. A sufficient army and navy to Insure Internation al respect. 12. Conservation of na tional resources; IS. Extension of the work of the department of agri culture and agricultural colleges to cover not merely agricultural crops, but all the interests of agricultural life; 14. The regulation Of the terms and conditions of labor aa well aa the use of wealth In the public interest; IB. Suppression of mob violence; 16. National and state efficiency; 17. The direct primary, associated with the corrupt practices act, with the recall. Colonel Roosevelt Is pleased to style the propaganda which he institutes upon these principles the New Na tionalism. Its name Is unimportant. The vital fact Is that thereby the ex president, as a private citizen, aligns himself with the common people In their contest with the forces of priv ilege. The issue Is now clean-cut, and the battle Is on until government by tho people, la restored and political decency re-established in every state in the union. Roosevelt la a republican, and this letter I hope will be read with the recollection that the writer is a re publican. The contest in Oregon Is within the ranks of that party. As 1 view It the recent assembly held in Portland under the auspices of the state republican committee must be rebuked by every supporter of popu lar government, and every opponent of corporate Interference with the po litical affairs of state and union.The (Continued on page 6.) 2:0 POUNDS OF GOLD STOLEN FROM SHIP.

WILL WASHINGTON STATE-WIDE PRIMARIES TO BE HELD TOMORROW Insurgency vs. Standpatlsm Is Prin cipal Issue Poindexter and Burke Are Respective Cliamplons Former Is Favorite. Olympla, Sept. 12. With insur gency vs. standpatlsm, the Issue, the principal Interest In tomorrow's state wide primaries is centered on the contest for the United States sena torial endorsement between Miles Poindexter, Insurgent of Spokane, and Thomns Burke, regular, of Seattle. There are two democratic candidates, Geo. Cotterlll and Patrick Byron. The progressives declare Poindexter will win, carrying sixty per cent of the vote in eastern Washington and hold ing his own In King county, Burke's home, and In the northwestern coun ties. The Burke men likewise say they are sure of victory, pinning their faith on regular King county and the western part of the state.

THE CRIPPEN TRIAL, Attorney for Defense Attempts to Dis qualify Poison Testimony. London, Sept. 12. The undertaker and morgue keeper who cared for the decomposed remains of the body found In the basement of the Crlppen house spent an uncomfortable half hour on the stand today. Arthur Newton, Crlppen's lawyer, cross-examined them and tried to make them admit that they used carbolic acid on the body, if used, the attorney argued, the chemical analyses by the chemists intended to show the pres ence of hysocin In the stomach were worthless, Newton tried to show the undertaker shoveled the remains into a box with stones, thus explaining the bruises on the body. Miss May, secretary of the music hall guild of which Belle Crlppen was a member, testified she dreamed she saw Crlppen strangling his wife. This, she said was about the time the woman disappeared. CHICAGO MEETING OF INVESTIGATORS NOT LEGAL Dodge City, Kansas, Sept. 12. Rep resentative Madison a member of the Investigating committee, said today that any action taken by the Ballinger committee at Chicago tomorrow would be void as the meeting will be Irregu lar.

We adjourned af ter the adoption of a report on Bal linger, and although the chairman ruled we did not have the power to ad Ji urn, we had the power," he said. CANARIES INOCULATED AGAINST MARSH FEVER Paris. The latest exploit of the Pasteur school is the Inoculation of canaries. It appears that the canary suffers from a sort of marsh fever communicated to it by an Insect known as the codex. At the Academy of Science yester day Dr. Doux stated that the bacillus had been Isolated, and a serum made from the material used to Inoculate other canaries. The inoculated birds, we are told, were in this way rendered compara tively Immune against the attacks of the fever-bringing codex; while those thot had not been Inoculated suffered severely when attacked. This Is Important, say the doctors, particularly as the marsh fever from which the canary suffers la said to affect mankind. But Is there really and excuse for making such experi ments on the unfortunate birds?" STOKERS DIE IT THEIR POST Efghteen Go Down With the British Cruiser Bedford r Near Japan. STUCK BRAVELY TO DUTY WHILE WATERS POURED IN Vete Which Represented England l4Utt Year at Portula Festival In San Francisco Struck on Kama rang Rocks Off Quelport Between Ja pan and Korea News Brought by Shp Stokers Were Heroes Rest Of Crew Rescued.

Only the tops of the three funnels showed above the water when the Monteagle passed the scene bound to Nagasaki from Shanghai. The Bed ford, with the Minotaur, Kent and Monmouth, had just completed a four hour full speed trial and was running down when she struck, being about five miles distant from the other warships and much out of ber course. The stokers remained at their posts despite the Inrush of water, with the result that Allen Jones, artificer en gineer in charge of 15 stokers, the stokers and two seamen were drowned at their posts. The vessel became a total loss, settling quickly, and the remainder of the crew was taken on board the Minotaur and Monmouth. The Japanese cruiser Todo and Izumi, two salvage steamers and a laige number of coolies were sent from Nagasaki and Sasebo, but heavy weather set in and they were obliged to put Into Mokpo, Korea Mean while the Bedford gradually settled until only the tops of the smokestacks show.

E HORSES FOR ALEXANDER WANTS TO BE FIRST MAX "I understand tliey are go- Ing to call upon some of the local business men to double their subscription to the Round- up fund," said R. Alexander, prominent merchant this after- noon. "If that Is the case I want them to call upon me first and then call again if they need more," was his enthusi- astic comment. This illustrates the spirit with which the buslT ness men of Pendleton are go- Ing Into the Round-up busi- ness. 4 Enthusiastic over the Round-up as tho most rabid Pendletonlan, C. S. Spain of Joseph, announced this morning that Spain brothers of Union county, represented by him, would be here at the big Northwest Fron tier exhibition with a string of relay and bucking horses. He said they would have at least four relay horses and as many buckers and that they would be prepared to do bronco busting stunts, fancy and trick rid ing and rope spinning. John A.

T Gotham Paper Calls Upon Roosevelt 10 Publish Last Campaign Contributions. ALLEGES HE ACCEPTED MONEY FROM TRUSTS Declares CanyKiign Fund Has Never Been Accounted for, and That ex-Presklent Has Kept Cortelyou's Lips Scaled T.R. Accused of Ac cepting Funds from Big Trusts for Which He Kept Hands Off Wants to Know What New Nationalism Is. New York, Sept. 12. The New York World today editorially calls upon Roosevelt to publish the receipts of h's campaign contributions and ex penditures in his presidential cam paign of 1904, saying the country has a right to know. "Your 1904 cam paign has never been publicly ac counted for except as fragmentary facts. Otherwise Cortelyou never publicly accounted for a penny of mil lions collected to elect you. You sealed his lips and kept them sealed six years. We know the Insurance companies contributed $150,000, that the Harriman corruption fund con tributed 1224,000; Harriman person-, ally, 860,000; that the Standard Oil and beef trusts and others contribut ed. We know that afterwards you at tacked the beef trust, but did not proceed personally against the offi cers although the Sherman anti-trust law is a criminal statute. We know that afterward you attacked the Standard Oil but did not proceed against the .officials personally." The World reviews other failures of the Roosevelt administration to prosecute trust .officials. The editerlal concluded: - "Does 'new nationalism' mean the kind of publicity given in 1904. Before new nationalism proceds further let us give publicity to the old nationalism, the nationalism of 1904." TWO MORE SHOT IX CHINESE TONG WAR San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 12.

HICKORY STICK IS AGAIN UNSHEATHED PENDLETON PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPENED Tins MORNING Indications are That Opening Day Registration Will Be Up to Normal Increase in High School Attend ance. "I love my mother, but Oh you teacher." This sentiment, differently empha sized, was felt if not expressed by hundreds of Pendleton boys and girls this morning, for be it known that this was the "first day of school." For the ensuing nine months the troubles of the parents will be less than they have been during the sum mer months while those of the teach ers will be greatly increased. Book store proprietors and clerks are also being given the workout of their lives today and the rush in this line will probably continue for the remainder of the week. There are no changes in the text books this year but the usual number of new books, not to mention paper, pencils, pens and Inks are keeping the stationery clerks busy and causing woe for the heads of families. The opening day registration in all the schools seems to be fully up 'to the normal though the definite fig ures will not be available before to morrow. From present Indications the high school attendance will be much larger this year than last, the freshmen class being exceptionally large. An Increase is also expected In all the other schools of the city. PRESIDENT TAFT ATTENDS FUNERAL OF OLD FRIEND Boston, Sept. 12.

General Tasker Bliss, commanding the department of California, is In command. PIPES MADE POPULAR BY FRENCH CIGAR TAX Paris. Pipes If we are to believe the Figaro, are again in favor. The high taxes on tobacco have been their triumph. Our contemporary says that the pipe has Invaded the fashionable world. There is no longer any doubt about It. and the reason for this Is the increased price of cigars, cigar ettes and all high-grade tobacco. Pipe smokers, it adds, are -a silent lot, both from necessity and taste, so that we are still In the dark as to their ever increasing numbers; but the adminis tration of indirect taxes admits a fall ing off In the sale of cigars, on which the tax has been increased. On the other hand, the sale of the ordinary smoking tobacco for pipes sold in five-penny packages is daily increasing. The dealers In pipes are naturally delighted . Their stock of briar and other pipes is diminishing with the brisk sale, and their profits are rising accordingly. As a vacaton outfit, the pipe is more popular this seoson than ever before. Three times more pipes ore being sold than In any previous years. The man who goes to the seaside or the mountain resorts takes a pipe with him. The pipe enters into the preparations for the shooting season, and even the college students are good customers. But the Figaro al so sees the reverse of the picture There may be many a family quarrel, even divoive proceedings, owing to the pipe. Marriages will be broken off, and N. Cochery might succumb to the maledictions of the ladles If he were not saved by the blessings of the smokers. Scientific scrutiny may rake things to pieces, but it can not put them to gether again. CRUSHES WORKMEN Laborers in Old Erie Tunnel Meet Death When Wall Crashes Down. TEX OTHERS ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED Eight Sets of Drills Loosen Ledge 44) Feet High and 20 Feet Wide He Are Buried Beneath Tons of Debris Erie Worts for Years to Cmrv Oicn Cut for Trains Four of Vic tims Are Americans. New York, Sept. 12. At least nine laborers were killed outright yester day and ten others were injured la the collapse of an overhanging shoul der of rock from above the western mouth of the old Erie tunnel which connects the Erie tunnel in Jersey . City with the westward division. Of the known dead, four were Am ericans, three were unidentified and two were foreigners. For several years the Erie has been working at the gigantic task of carv ing an open cut for its passenger trains through the solid rock of Ber gen Hijl, which, in some respects is 300 feet high. The cut was opened for travel not long ago, but there still remains the task of hewing a common portal for the old tunnel and the new cut out of the ledge where they will meet west of the boulevard. It was tbere that the fall came. A wall of rock from four to ten feet thick still separates the two sets of tracks and eight sets of drills were pounding away at it yesterday. Their Jar loosened a strip of rock 40 feet wide and 20 feet high. It peeled -oft like wall paper and toppled into the spot where the men were tearing down brick work at tne' mouth of the eld tunnel. They were burled under & mass of debris.' FOLK'S BOOM WILL SPLIT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 12.

Conditions In rbe French penal colony on the Island of New Caledonia are reported by Uni ted States Consul-Genera! Henry D. Baker, of Syndey, Australia. The Importation of colored labor will soon become necessary, he says, to take the place of the liberated convicts who are fast dying out The total number of convicts and ex-convicts In New Caledonia as gtv en In the last official report was 7, S62. but of these the whereabouts of 500 were unknown; they bad either escaped to Australia or NewGuinea or died in the bush. Of the liber ated convicts 4783 were over 40 years of age and only 459 were younger, consequently In 10 years the quantity of convict labor now available will have been diminished by half, and 20 years later will have almost disap peared. The total white population in 1906 when a general census was taken, was 19.570 of whom 13. SOS were males and 5762 femnlesor 395 females for 1000 males. The abnormal prepond erance was due to the fact that of 7914 convicts then in the colony only 244 were women; still there was a wide margin even in the free popula tion, for of 11,656 persons 6138 wcTe male and 5518 were females, op 892 women to 1000 men. During the three years, 1906-1909, the marriages num bered 4.7 per thousand, as compared with 7.5 in France. The number of births during the same period aver aged 444, while the deaths averaged 520.
