a mistake when they say these men

Washington,' April 27. If conditions
are favorable the . southern and far
western portions of the United States
will be treated to a partial perform
ance by old Sol late tomorrow after
noon, when he hides himself behind
the moon. At best, however, the view
of the solar eclipse will be a very un
satisfactory one so far as the North
American continent is concerned. As
a partial eclipse it will be visible in
that part of the United States lying
south of a line drawn from Cape Hen
lopen, on the coast of Delaware to As
toria, Oregon. On the Pacific coast
the eclipse begins at about 3 p. m.
Along the eastern coast south of
Washington there will be a very small
partial eclipse, the sun setting with
the eclipse on it. In New York and
New England and. throughout the Do
minion of Canada the eclipse will be
wholly invisible.
The path of the total eclipse is a
very large one, but it is wasted almost

VICTIM
Washington, 'AplI 27. A resolution
to abolish the United States senate,
was presented today by Congressman .i
Berger, the socialist in the house. A ;
constitutional amendment doing away:
t. im.wiM.io .mmi
in the world," is the means provided ,
tor in the resolution. Berger asserts
the senate has become obstructive
and many of Its. members represent
predatory wealth and not the states
from which they come. ' "
The 'resolutions say the senate has
become a useless body and a menace
to the people's liberty. The corrup
tion often attending election of its
members has furnished' the gravest
public scandals in the history of the
nation.
J:r Mouie.td .Be Supreme. - (,.-
It is proposed the amendment giS
the house of representatives all duties
now held by the senate with referen
dum on Its provisions to be Invoked on
petition of five per cent of the quali
fied voters of three-fourths of all the
states, to be filed within 90 days after
the passage of any law.

Three would-be daylight "highway
men arei in the city Jail this afternoon
awaiting arraignment and two of them
are nursing bruised heads as the re
sult of an attempt to rob a lone pedes
trian at the Y in East La Grande this
morning. Bert V. Coleman of Elgin
was the man attacked and but for his
nerve in lighting off his assailants he
would have been relieved of valuables
and probably beaten besides. The fra
cas ; occurred about 8 o'clock. Jim
Daly, E. J. Murphy and Frank Cla7
are the names given by the men who
were later arrested by Chief of Police
Walden and Officer Faulk. 1 '
Coleman was accosted by the ho
boes but with Jeffries inclinations he
bowled two of them oyer before they
could raise a hand and the third one
backed off.
A fourth party mixed in the deal and
Htones were thrown back and , forth
with telling effects on some. The
fourth man tells his story in a logical
way and he will not likely be placed
under arrest. He saw his friends were
getting the worst of ll in the stone
and fist light with Coleman and he
let fly a rock, but he is sorry now as
he was struck in the back and is well ,
crippled up. He is being held as a
witness in the case. One of the men
was arrested just before' the Baker
train arrived and he still carries the
necessary ticket. ! ,
