London, March 22. Premier As
qulth explained In the house of com
mons his opposition to the miners'
amendment to his minimum wago bill
which was defeated without discus
sion. It would establish a dangerous
precedent and bo followed by the de
and of other trades for similar action
ho eniil. The miners. Asquith said,
are opposed to a m'nimum wage and
six days of labor. They want five
shillings a minimum for adults and
two shillings for minors each day.
The mine owners have notified Pre
mier Asquith that they will erfuse to
open the mines unless the minimum
wako rate flving is left to a local
committee.
Premier Asquith said the bill, un
amended, will be read the third time
tomorrow and will be passed. It will
be called In the house of lords Mon
day. The laborltes Informed Asquith
that tho responsibility Is on him, if
the unamended bill falls to settle tho
strike.
Sir A. B. Markham of New Castle,
said the strike will continue If the
amendment of the miners was not In
corporated In the bill. Asquith re
plied that the amendment would make
the bill unworkable.
It Is generally believed that the
distress following the strike and the
depletion of supplies and funds ob
tained through strike benefits will
force both sides to accet tho bill.
If the miners refuse to do so Pre
mier Asquith will accept the offer of
the operators to resume working the
mines if guaranteed protection for
their union men.

Nanking, Mitreh 22. Chinese suf
fragettes attacked the quarters of
tho national assembly here, routed
the statesmen and broke all the win
dows in the building. The women
were incensed because resolutions
granting them a right to vote if they
were taxpayers, and could meet cer
tain educational requirements. j
The attack of the women came un
expectedly. They crowded into the
corridors of the national assembly
building, past the doorkeepers, and
denounced the resolutions, as dis
criminatory against a majority of
Chinese women, because of the ed
ucational test prescribed.
Pulling their hair and scratching
vigorously, they attacked the assem
blymen In a free for all fight.
Then they hurled chairs through
tho windows, destroyed large masses
of official papers and marched out of
the building demanding their rights.
In the streets the suffragettes were
attacked by the police and a hot
fight followed. Several police were
roughly handled and several women
were arrested.

HIGH ATHLETES HEAR
CALL OF SPRINGTIME
Starting Training on Track
For Summer Program
of Sports
With the first warm days of spring
at hand, the high school athletes
have abandoned the gymnasium und
are disporting themselves in abbre
viated attire on the track at Round
up Park. With only three or four of
last year's point winners absent from
the squad this year, prospects are ex
ceedingly bright for a track team of
high calibre and the school does not
Intend to hadnlcap itself by lack of
training and preparation.
Under the direction of Coach As
liahr, the boys are now only accus
toming themselves to the outdoor
work but within a week or so will be
down to hard training. The cross
country race which has been an an
nual event of the spring training, will
be foregone this year, the boys de
ciding that the heavy strain encoun
tered works detrimentally to some of
the weaker athletes. Instead an in
terclass relay race, with each par
ticipant running a mile, is being ar
ranged and will probably be held in
a couple of weeks.
Among the men who will bo relied
upon this year to take points in the
various meets are Gordon, the crack
sprinter. Fee. hurdler and jumper,
Jordan, wiight man, Hampton, Haw
and Strain, middle distance men,
and Jarvis, a freshman who showed
speed last year in the grade schools.
The schedule has not yet been
completed but the boys are assured
of one big meet, that of the eastern
Oregon association which Is to be
held in Baker. The Whitman inter
srholastie meet has been abandoned
this year, but it Is probable that the
local school will be represented in
the O. A. C. and Oregon meets.

UP WILL HELP

As a result of a meeting at lunch
eon today between members of the
Round-Up board, district fair direc
tors and Commercial club managers,
plans are laid for making the district
fair a "hummer"' this year, particular
ly with reference to band and other
amusement features.
At the luncheon today a special
committee of which G. M. Rice, W.
L. Thompson and Dr. C. J. Smith were
members, submitted a report in which
two proposals were offered, one to
the etfect the Round-Up directors be
asked to cooperate In erecting a stock
pavilion near the Round-Up giounds
for uso this year and the other sug
gestion that the Round-Up cooperate
with the fair board in handling the
amusement features of tho fair, hold

BOY JAILED
Criminal Career of a Day Is
Full of Deeds Worthy o
Veteran Crook.
WANTED TO BE A SLEUTH
Seventeen Year Old Pendleton Youth,
Refused Place on Police Fwrce,
Turns Emmy of Law and Commits
Series of Offenses
Deciding that he had reached man's
estate and that the Innocent pastime
of boyhood must give way to the
stern duties of fortune making, Ralph
James, a seventeen year old youth of
Pendleton, yesterday took a fling at
high finance, did a turn at detective
work and finally brought up short in
the clutches of the officers. Today
his fate wa consigned to the juvenile
court and he will probably be taught
that the world was not built In a day
and that maturity cannot be acquired
at will.
Young James began his meteoric
flight yesterday by appearing at the
Troy laundry, where his mother has
been employed and drawing her wa
ges without her knowling or sanction. .
Then, having contracted with Wesley
Harrah, well known rancher, for the
purchase of fifty tons of hay, accord
ing to his own statement, he under
took to raise money by the issuance
of checks. Though he had never
at any one time had more than $15
lit the First National bank, he did not
hesitate to draw three checks upon
that institution, one for $10, one for
$15 and the other for $25. These
were cashed by several business men
of the city, Si Reetz, the barber, ad
vancing money on one.
During the afternoon, the boy de
cided that he was peculiarly adapted
to detective work and applied to
Chief of Police John Kearney for a
position upon his staff. Upon being
informed that thye present officers
were quite competent to preserve the
peace of the community, he forthwith
appointed himself deputy sheriff and
commenced a gum-shoe search of the
various lodging houses for evil doers.
His career was cut short, however,
when the bogus nature of the checks
was discovered, and his dreams of
becoming a great boy detective were
rudely Interrupted when the officers,
whose work he wished to assist paced
him under arrest.
On account of his extreme yout
he was turned over to Juvenile 'Of
ficer Hailey this morning and his pun
ishment is now being brewed.
