SAY THOMPSON IS A PARTIAL SLEUTH From the tenor of a communica tion received by the East Oregonian today it Is evident that Messrs Bundy and May of Athena, do not think highly of the methods employed by E.

This is to state that Warden Thompson fished with us on the our oasKei as wen as ourselves, as they were all in one basket. He never notified us he was a warden or it was Illegal to keep small fish.

LAFFERTY WOULD T Congressman Lafferty will not again seek the votes of the people of eastern Oregon. If he runs for of- 0111111(1. This information ls contained In a letter just received by Secretary Jack Keefe of the Commercial club and which was read at the weely lunche on of the board of managers today. The announcement was made in connection with a discussion of the Lafferty bill for the creation of an eastern Oregon Judicial district with headquarters at Baker. In commenting on Ids bill Lafferty made the contention thnt his bill does not discriminate between Pendleton and Baker and that in the event of Its adoption the federal judge could, reside in either town he desired. However, u reading of the bill, in closed with the letter, shows this statement to be untrue. The bill pro vides that the regular terms of the court shall be held at Baker begin ning on the second Mondays of April and November and at the city of Pendleton on the first Tuesdays in Juno and December in each year. This wording In the view of Presi dent Smvthe, an attorney, -makes Ba ker the headquarters for the court in the event the bill Is adopted. Furthermore tho Lafferty bill spe cifies that tho marshal and clerk for the new district shall appoint at least one deputy at Pendleton. Secretary Keefe was Instructed to notify the congressman that the word ing of his bill Is unsatisfactory and that Pendleton people would prefer to have the bill so drawn as to have tho regular sessions hero and to have the deputy named for Baker. Another matter passed upon by the board today was the rejection of a claim from Baker to the effect that Pendleton should bear all the expense of publishing the Initiative argu ment for the branch asylum. W. L. Thompson, of the public policy com mittee to which the claim had been referred, reported no deal had been made whereby the club assumed more than one third the expense. As one third the amount has already been paid the matter of paying tho remain ing two thirds was laid upon the table. about all English ports Is expected. At Liverpool today the White Star lines company announced that It had discharged all Its sea employes save the officers and engineers. Hereafter tho company will employ only non union men. All shipping, save the Transatlantic liners, Is paralyzed. Reports from other big ports tell of serious riots and other disturbances.
