On Eve of Impeachment Vote, Suiter
Uaima Enough Friends.
Albany, Oct 13. Convinced that his
aexense has been unslullfully handled,
Governor Sulzer has oracticallv brok
en with his lawyers on the event of
the vote on his impeachment. It is
understood that the governor is in
censed in particular, bv what he con.
eiders a virtual admission by Attor
ney Hemck of the defense that he
(Sulzer) is unfit for the governorship
coupled with the contention that un
fitness is not ground for impeachment.
Sulzer considered ton -that, hia onun.
set made a fatal mistake in refusing
to allow him to make a statement in
his own behalf from the witness stand.
If convicted, it is said he will blame
his attorneys. Tremendous pressure is
being brought to bear on members of
the court, both for and against the
governor.
Both Parties Confident.
Albany, Oct 13. That this after
noon will see the beginning of the end
of the impeachment court proceedings
seemed likelv when the court con
vened today. It appeared improbable
that a verdict would be reached before
tomorrow -but Sulzer will be able to
get a pretty definite idea concerning
the number of supporters, was indi
cated in as much as a vote is sched
uled late today on the governor's con
tention that the court lacked the pow
er to try him on acts preceding his in
duction into office.
Desmte the prediction that Sulzer
has only 11 members of the court fav
oring him when he needs 20 to acquit
him, Senator Wende said that he was
sure the governor would win. He is
sure, though he gave no figures, that
there were enough Sulzer supporters
as members of the court to prevent
his removal, and added that he expect
ed the, court of appeals with one ex
ception would vote for Sulzer. The
anti-Sulzentes claim exactly the same
thing.

Dollar Bills Grow Popular.
-c-tamrioA fw . Oct. 13. fSnecial)
VUlf.f- "I '
This city is flooded with one dollar
bills, due to the lover of rag money,
"Dollar Bill" Henderson, one of the
bankers. Where once the frontiers
man in Wallowa county would receive
nothing but gold money, now he takes
a bunch of dollar bills that would
choke a mule and is really growing so'
he likes them.
The big change happened when Wil
liam Henderson, of Chicago, entered
the banking business in Enterprise. He
had been used to the Chicago one dol
lar bill and he brought them with him.
At first the people of Enterprise view
ed the rag money with suspicion, then
objection, finally criticism of sanita
tion arose and then all discontent dis
appeared and people here are using the
dollar bills with the same skill that
they are used in Chicago.'
Washington; Oct' 13. With all the
pomp and judicial dignity of prece
dent the supreme court of the United
States today met promptly at noon for
the October term. In accordance wrth
tradition which decrees that the court
shall conduct no judicial business on
the first day, the session was brief.
Following the ceremonies and present

their service on the highest bench as

Uay, Lurton, Hughes, Van Devanter,
La man and Prtney. A respectful hush
overspread the chamber as the nro
cession entered and all arose and re
mained standing until the court as
cended the bench. At a given signal
from Chief Justice White SDectators
and court officers, including the at
torney general, were Beated and the
session begun. .Following the solicit
or general's presentation court ad
journed for the visit to the White
House.
Following ancient custom Chief Jus
tice White was the first to enter the
executive mansion and grasp the pres
ident's hand. Seniority is one of the
strict rules of the highest judicial
body. The chief justice chatted for a
moment with the president and passed
on. Justice McKenna follows nA
the remaining justice's were formnllv
greeted by the chief executive. The
more formal greeting preceded an in-
lorma! exchange of pleasantries be
tween President Wilson and his visit
ors before the latter returned to the
capital where work incident to dispos
ing of the heavy October term docket.
was immediately begun.
The court will meet again tomorrow
to hear arguments on the most advanc
ed cases on the docket. A large list of
these have been set ' forward. The
first decisions of the October term will

Carmania Proceeds to Liverpool.
The Carmania proceeded to Liver
pool today. Captain Barr refused to
make a statement nor did he exDlain
why the Carmania had brought only
one of the Volturno survivors. The
matter is the subject of much specu
lation as the other rescuing shiDS are
crowded.
Bryan Defends Relative.
Washington, Oct. 13. Flat denial of
the printed reports that California
Japanese were buying land of his
cousin, formerly Governor Jennings, of
Florida, was voiced today by Secretary
of State Bryan.' "It is an unqualified
falsehood." said Secretary Bryan, "but
you know that tjTiewspapers must
have something to print"
Washington, Oct. 15. Responding
to Secretary Bryan's strong repre
sentations through Nelson O'Shaugh
nessy, Huerta has assured Uncle Sam'
that the imprisoned members of the
Mexican chamber of deputies will not
be harmed. Upon this information
Bryan decided to let Emissary Lrnd
use his own discretion about returning
to Mexico City. Just what develop
ments would result were the leadors
of the two houses, who were thrown in
prison when Huerta ordered congress
disbanded, is not intimated, but af
fairs are in such a state of turmoil
that both Huerta and American diplo
mats here can foresee something of
what would happen. How long Huerta
plans to keep the leaders imprisoned,
is not intimated.
Enterprise People Building.
Enterprise, Ore., Oct. 13. (Special)
The dance and amusement hall being

The Carnegie library is also moving
along in construction and soon this
city will have one of the finest small
er libraries on the coast
The propofi.d new railroad will be
built, according to those who are close,
to the inside work. While no Dhvsical
construction can begin this winter, it
is stated that Just as soon as spring
opens, dirt will begin to move on the
right of way already secured and by
next fall it is possible that trains will
be running from Enterprise to Flora.

True, other favorites such a Delmas,

Ovita awfully hard but it was Joe

driven to the pole in the first heat but
McGuire and Dennis passed Red Rock

and Oveta took the heat by the nar

Oveta led all the way in the second

graceful strides. It was in this heat
that Red Rock jumped into favoritism.
The gelding broke at the 5-8ths mile
