Halnsworth, Northern Pa cific agent at Helix, was the victim of a red pepper attack Saturday eve ning in which his assailant was Mrs. Charles Stanton of Helix. From re ports of the affair received hero tho agent suffered severely from the at tack but his eyes will not be perma nently Injured. As told in railroad circles the trouble in which Agent HainswoVth became Involved arose over his en forcement of the rule against allow ing brakemen to carry parcels for patrons along the line. It is the de sire of tho railroad to charge express or freight rates on everything trans ported save baggage. However, it is a rule that has not been strictly fol lowed in the past and the desire of the Helix agent to change matters brought forth the red pepper. It Is said that not long ago Mrs. Stanton gave the Northern Pacific brakeman some money with which to make a pus-chase for her at a Pen dleton meat market Learning of the errand Agent Halnsworth wired to tho brakeman to send the meat by express. Instead of doing so the NAVY HEADY rOK game of wak Provlncctown, Mas?., July 10. Consisting of thirty-five bat tleships, cruisers and other war vessels, the largest fleet of Am erican fighting shins ever as sembled here for the war maneuvers along the Atlantic coast, which bef-ins July 15. In a few days the fleet will lie join ed by seventeen iilitr vessels, including four 1KW dreud-lutughls. LOCAL MAN OFFERS PITCHER A BRIBE Moo was price tendered j ix buckarooes-bear gamei Herder, Pendleton Twirler, Turns Down Money and Slio.i Indigna tion J))' Shutting Opponents Out. - As evidence of the fact that Joe Merger, premier twirler of the Blue Mountain league, is a square and hon orable man as well as a brilliant pitcher is a story which gained cir cul: : today, to the effect that Ber ger v. offered $300 to "throw" the last : between the Buekarooes and tho Bears which game was won by tho former by the score of 4 to 0. To make the offer more reprehen sible, it Is claimed, it was made by , u Pendleton man who thought there-1 by to rob Pendleton fans ijf all their money. Just before leaving for Portland this afternoon on No. 17, Berger con firmed the story hut declined to di vulge the name of the would-be briber although he was strong in his con demnation of thai person. He stated that it was on the morning before the game that he was approached by the individual whom he character ized as a "tin horn gambler" with a proposition to allow Walla Walla to take the game. Berger's answer is said to have been emphatic and his indignation at the alleged attempt to bribe him may have been largely re sponsible for the fact that the hurd hitting Bears were shut out without a run and allowed but one hit during the game. During his stay in this city, Berger lias always conducted himself as a perfect gentleman and he has been admired as much for his qualities of manhood as for his fine pitching arm. The disclosure, then, that he could not be bought will come as no sur prise to local people but will serve to confirm their previous high es timation of him. As for the person who tried to se cure a dishonest advantage, it Is well , for him that his name Is kept from ; the public else he might he carried from the city bestride a fence rail and with a coat of tar and feathers, 1 the last present of Irate fans. $50,000 FOR RENTS San Francisco, Cal., July 10. E. Ciaience Jones, n Wall street bank er and president of the American Em bassy association, Is her. today and declares that the embassy situation of this country is ruled by money instead of merit. Whitelaw Bled, he says,, has spent so much money entertaining that few men ate able to follow his standards. Pour men have been approached by Presidi nt Taft. with reference to suc ceeding I! 'id, but all refused the Job. Jones says ReM spent fifty Ihoii-nn a year in rent alone. brakeman returned the money nnd the telegram as well to the Helix lady. Incensed by this action of tho agent Mrs. Stanton is said to have demand ed an apology of Halnsworth and up on his refusal to make the same she cast a box of red pepper into his eyes. At the time of the attack Mains worth was carrying the mall from tho N. P. depot to the Helix postoftlce and it Is said he has .reported the matter to the postal authorities and asking for a prosecution on the ground that his assailant interfered with a man carrying tho U. S. mall. After being attacked Halnsworth was nearly blinded and it took a phy sician nearly an hour to remove tho pepper froln his eyes. City Wiped Out. Ottawa, Ont., July 10.

ATTORNEYS BEGIN ARGUING SEE CASE KSTABI.ISH "HKAYKX ON FAIITII" IF GIYEX LIBERTY I'roscoutor Says Defendant is lliil 1"; Behind Skirts and Peek-a-Itoo Waists and That Women are Per jurers. Chicago, 111., July 10. With three days' speechmaking probable, by the lawyers for both sides, the summing up of the case of Evelyn Arthur See, the "Revcaler of Absolute Life," be gan today. If See Ls freed on charges of bauching with Mildred Bridges, intends, with the girl's mother establish a new "Zion" here and already secured a tract of land his "New Heaven on Earth." de he to has for See is worth about two hundred thous and dollars. Defendant Denounced. Assistant State's Attorney Burn ham, today attacked See bitterly in his summing up of the case. He de clared the "Revealer" was "hiding behind the skirts and peek-a-boo waists of his women followers," and said the women had perjured them selves when they testified they had written pavts of the "Book or Truth." ELOPING PAIR MAY ESCAPE PROSECUTION It is probable that J. AV. McPher son, the laborer who eloped with Nellie Colvin, his employer's daugh ter, will not be held to answer to any criminal charge following the arrest and return of both of the fun rfways Colvin and his daughter. Deputy Sheriff Strand and McPher son returned to Pendleton yesterday fiom Chehalis where the elopers had been apprehended and the two form er left for their home at Bitter this morning. According to the stories told by the nunantic couple, it seems that the only reason McPherson had for in ducing the girl to elope was inspired by jealousy. He had been an avowed lover of the pretty daughter of his employer for sivme time but recently another had appeared on the scene. To preclude the possibility of losing her forever, he persuaded her to el ope. When they failed to secure a marriage license here, the girl became friirhteii"! and fled with her lover to Portland and from there to Chehalis. Tlie wrath of the father ha died siuie the recovery of his daughter, safe, unmarried and unharmed, and he stated this morning that he would not prosecute the charges against M Phorson. But. in order to fore stall any further matrimonial plans o' the two, lie say- lie intends to stp erate them by sending the girl away LO School.

He will be suc ceeded as chairman of the board of trustees by J. Stanley Brown of Jo liet. Ills. Professor Butler's resignation will mean, the teachers say, a triumph for the "insurgents" of the association, who, headed by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, are insistent on a full ac counting of the funds of the institu tion Butler has heretofore opposed such action. Accounting Given. Signed by Nicholas Murray Butler, chairman, and James N. Greenwood, H. B. Brown and Carroll G. Pearse. at members of the board of trustees, the following 25th annual report of that body was presented here to the di rectors. First in interest in the report. Ow ing to attack which have been mad upon the trustees' action througk their alleged investing of the moneys of the association in questionable stoek!iins a statement of the year' financial operations and the present state of the permanent fund. This fund with the sum of $9900 which has been added to it during the past year now amounts to $180,000. According to the report of the trus tees, the only investment in stocks which has been made during the year was $7000 In the first consolidated mortgage gold four per cent bonds of the Atlantic coast line railroad com pany and $4000 in bonds of the same description of the Manhattan Railway. These were acquired on July 5, 1910. In their financial statement for th year ending June 30, the trustees set forth that their total receipts from interest on various bonds held as in vestments was J6T97. Their total dis bursement principally for fees to the First Trust and Savings Bank of Chi cago, fur care of the principal of the permanent fund were small and they j were able to turn over net income to i the treasurer of the association to the amount of $4036.

Jockey Shot. Memphis. Tenn., July 10. Thom as Dolan, a former jockey, was shot and instantly killed last night by J. H. Hughes a merchant, and pi, inter of Hayes, Ark, in tho room occupied by Hughes in a local hotel, fd'.owing a dispute over a diamond stud Hughe says he missed. I neither company will take any action towards improving the conditions un less required to do so and Caere is a general feeling that the public ha wailed long enough for the corpor ations to act of their own accord. it is urged that it is particularly desired that action be taken now In view of the paving that is soon to be done. As Cottonwood street is to be paved this summer the wires could be placed underground before the paving work Is undertaken and the same is true on Alta and AA'ebb streets. It Is possible that underground cables on Cottonwood and Garden streets would serve to carry the wires that light the Main street buildings. In this event it would not be neces sary to lay underground wires on Main street However should Main street cables be needed It is urged they might be placed under the con crete gutters so as to avoid tearing up any of the bitulitblc pavement. It is figured that the laying of the wires underground will mean no ex pense to local property owners or businessmen but would fall entirely upon the two corporations concerned.
