(By Associated Press to The Observe)
WASHINGTON, July 21. When
President Wilson returned from the
week-end cruise to Hampton Roads he
was immediately ordered to bed by
his physician, Rear Admiral Grayson,
who announced that the President is
suffering with dysentary. His condi
tion is not serious and he will probably
be able to receive callers before the
week end. Engagements with Repub
lican senators have been cancelled.
The, President has been feeling veij
bad for several days.
WANTS COMMISSIONER NAMED.
WASHINGTON, July 21. The
Prosident has asked the senate foreign
relations committee to npprovo the
appointment of a member of the repa
rations commission, provided for ui
der the peace treaty to act provision
ally until the senate acts on the docu
ment. The President said he consid
ered it important to the business in
terests that the United States be rep
resented on the commission. The com
mittee debuted the proposition bu
failed to act, the Republican members
of the committee being opposed to the
request. It is understood the Presi
dent intends to appoint Bernard M.
Baruch, of New York, as such repre
sentative. The committee will con
sider the matter again tomorrow.
IS LEAGl'E SUPPORTER.
WASHINGTON. July 21. Senator
Pomerene, Democrat, of Ohio, urged
the prompt and unreserved ratifica
tion of the peace treaty and league of
nations. He said that he was not sure
that it .would be a picventative of
wars, but would tend to prevent war
and could be amended as experience
required.

J. II. Peare & Son, jewelers, arc ex

Wayne (i rah a in for the arrest and
conviction of Clement Pearson. On
the morning of April 19, as one of the

and had the goods for that purpose
in a box behind a partition near it, I
rearson ana another man came in,
the latter wanting a hole drilled in
a lens. The jeweler took the work
into a back room, which has a window
communication with the store, and
through it he noticed Pearson pick up
something from the box and appar
ently put it back after looking at it.
After the men went out, it was found
that Pearson must have taken a $100
diamond ring and it was the empty
case he was putting back Mr. Peare
and the chief of police found the men
at the station, preparing to return to
their home at Hot Lake, and the chief
made a hasty search as the train was
about to leave, which did not bring
the ring to light. Feeling convinced
he was guilty, Mr. Peare and Sheriff
Graham and his own son went to Hot

Pearson admitted the theft and show

their last scheduled ttanio of tho East

the bottom.
IWhile Ihe locals were thus disposing
of the North Powder outfit, the Cove
team, which has had the best of the
games nil season and which whs con
sidered right along as practically sure
of the pennant, was cinching things
up right by defeating linker by a
score of six to nothing. Tho game
was played at Cove.

Beaver Creek.
The city officials, returning last
night from their trip of inspection to
the intake on Heaver Creek, expressed
themselves as being of tho opinion that
they are going to bo able to give La
Grande a satisfactory supply . of water
for this summer, at least, by making
a couplo of changes in the system roc-
ommended by Louis C. Kelscy, tho
special engineer who was retained by t
the city some time ago for tho pur
pose of making a close examination of
tho whole water system. The party
going to the intnko was composed of
Dr. II. S. llrowntnn, president of tho
board of city commissioners; Commis
sioners McKennon and Grundy, City
Munngor John Collier, City Wutor Su
perintendent C. J. Black, Mr. Kelscy,
Paul V. Bouvard, of tho Jewel Kilter
Company, Engineer Harcr, of tho O.-
W. It. & N., and J. A. Mutott, of Per
ry, who was closely connected with
the locul water offico for many years.
Citizens and business men of tho town,
though much concerned over the water
situation, did not show up. to mako
the trip.
At the in lake on Beaver Creek the
party found that there is an ample
supply of as good mountain water ns
there cun ho found. anywhere. There '
is much mora water than can bo car
ried down by tho p'po line to the city.
Engineer Kelscy was convinced that
with a couplo of alterations in the sys
tem the city would bo able to secure
enough water to supply the needs for
this summer, at least. Thu pipe lino
is not" largo enough to enrry the
amount of water necessary for u city
the aizo of La Grande, ho says, but
their plans will do until u permanent
remedy for the shortage is provided.
Mr. Kclscy's plan is to extend the in
take about five hundicd feet farther
up Beaver Creek and to lower tho
level of tho pipe lino at tho Pierre
hill, about three miles from the city.
This, ho believes, will increaso the
capacity of the pipe lino very mater
ially. Tho city will also install n
water meter at tho city reservoir, in
order to ascertain whether or not the
pipe lino is delivering all the water
entering at the intake and 1 tho pips
lino ia carrying Its full capacity.-
