HEYBURN CHARGES CONTEMPT Peculiar Outcome of Decision Agralnst A'oted Coenr d'AJene Min " lag KlBgr Proceedings to -Come Up "Today. BDISE. Idaho. ..Nov. 27. (Special.) -Judge- W. B. Heyburn has arrived from ; the North. He" Is here to institute an In teresting contempt proceeding In the United States Court, and will ask Judge Beatty to cite Kennedy 3, Hanley for contempt. The case is a peculiar one. Judge Be atty gave judgment a few days ago at Moscow In favor of Hanley against Sweeney, et al., for $170,000, on account of his Interest in ore taken from the Skoo icum property. Some $5500 of the proceeds of such ore was in the bank at "Wallace. The next day after the decree was en tered Mr. Hanley and his attorney went to "Wallace with a copy of the decree and drew the $5500 out of the bank. Judge Heyburn holds this was contempt of court, inasmuch as notice of appeal had been given in open court at the time of the rendering of the Judgment. The Judge states that when he gave notice he asked that a supersedeas bond be filed, and that the court fixed it at the time In the sum of $200,000, giving him 10 days In which to prepare papers. The Judge further states that the other side pre sented the court an order in open court, directing the bank to turn over the money, and that the Judge refused to sign such order. Today Judge Heyburn perfected an appeal, giving a bond for $200,000. The contempt proceedings will come up In the morning. EUGENE TAKES A HOLIDAY.

In 1863 he removed to Clark County, Wash ington, where he replded until the Spring of 1830, when he went to live with his daughter, Mrs. Davis, In Portland.

Lyman, of Walla Wnlla; Mrs. W. H. Brewster, or this city, and Glbbs C. Clark, of Hocklnson, 'Wash. Mr. Clark, or "Uncle John." as he was familiarly called In this country, was one of the prominent and Influential characters In the early history of Oregon and, Washington. The value of his work as a pioneer teacher and missionary canr.ot be estimated. When he went to Brush Prairie there was but one settler there, Mr. Bowman, and, besides his brother Alvln. but one Baptist minister In the territory. Rev. Father Weston, of Puget Sound. For more than 25 years Mr. Clark -was pastor of the Brush Prairie Bnptlet Church, besides having regular charges In other parts of the county. He would often walk 10 or 15 mllec to make his appointments, and continued to preach until he went to Portland. , In 18C0. In the dftya when Olympla was reached only by stage coach, he was elected to the Territorial Legislature from Clark County, and served one term. Though living on the frontier, he was always Interested in the affairs of the world. Ills great thirst for knowledge and love of books brought him a well-stored mind.

That It is the sense of this convention that a committee of three be appointed from the teachers of this divi sion of the Oregon State Teachers' Asso ciation, to confer with a similar commit tee to be appointed by the Western Di vision of the State Teachers' Association; and. further, be It "Resolved, That these committees be instructed to make application to the di rectors baying In charge the preparation of the Fair to arrange for an educational exhibit, which will properly represent the educational Interests of this great state." The committee as appointed consists of J.- A. Peyton. E. E. Bragg and, J. F. Now lln. County Superintendents of Baker, Union and Umatilla .Counties. Shortly after the regular programme of the day was taken up. S. Y. Glllan gave a closing talk on geography, speak 'lng. In this period, more to the teacher as a student than as an Instructor, and gave a very Interesting discussion of the geography of Southern Russia. J. A. Churchill followed with a strong paper on "The Preparation of Lessons; (a) At Home; (bp At School." This paper, which 'denounced the practice of assigning home work to the pupils of the firs! eight grades, provoked a lively discussion. In which Mr. Glllan. Professor Hockenberry, President Penrose and Superintendent Ackerman took part, the lack of time preventing any definite conclusion. Mr. Glllan then spoke on arithmetic methods until the noon intermission. In the afternoon session E. M. Bruce, of Weston Normal, spoke on "The Rela tion tho State Normal Schools Bear to the Educational System of the State." Dr. S. B. L. Penrose, of Whitman gave a very strong address on "Professional Ethics." Mr. Glllan gave his closing talk on meth ods in reading and language, and the ses sion adjourned. This session- has been a most profit able one. and much credit Js due the ex ecutive committee for the excellent way in which the affair has been handled. Tho attendance was large and represent ative, and would have been much larger but for tho fact that a county Institute was held In Umatilla County only a short time since, which caused school board3 In that section to object to the teachers attending the meeting at La Grande. Weston State Normal turned out In force. all the faculty being present, except President Mnrtindalc and Professor Klt tredge, both of whom were sick. ESTATE OF GEORGE PICKETT.

Foot and Montli Disease Causes Pro hibition of Exports From Boston. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson today Issued a sweep ing order directed to the managers a.nd agents of railroads and transportation companies of the United States, stockmen and others, notifying them of the estab lishment of a quarantine on cattle, sheep and other ruminants and ewlne. in the New England States, and prohibiting the ex portation of 3uch animals from the. port of Beaton until further orders. Recent. investigations In. the Department of Agriculture disclosed the fact that what is known as foot and mouth dl-iease exist ed to an alarming extent in Connecticut. Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Ver mont. The expert of the department. Dr. Mohler; Dr. Leonard Pearson, of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and Dr. James Lav,-, of Cornell, investigated the Infected diseases and united in a recommendation that a quarantine should be established. Secretary Wilson snid today that this Is the most eericus matter the department haa had to handle for some time, but that all the resources of the department would bo employed In stamping out the disease. He declared that If It should spread west of the Hudson River It would be nothing short of a National calamity. HURTS BOSTOX COMMERCE. Quarantine Order Cnts Off Large Vol ume cf Shipments. BOSTON, Nov. 27. The action of the Secretary of Agriculture In placing an embargo on the shipment of cattle from the port of Boston and declaring In quar antine cattle and"swlne of Vermont, Mas sachusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut will give great assistance to the Massachu setts Cattle CccrimlsElon In Its effort to stamp out the epidemic of foot and mouth disease in thla state. At the same time the order threatens the curtailment of the foreign commerce of Boston, in thnt it is likely temporarily to cut off the shipment to Europe of an average of 2500 head of cattle a week. The disease has broken out in herds of cows in a dozen towns in Middlesex and Worcester Counties, from which sections the great bulk of the milk supply of Bos ton Is received. It Is with the hope of preventing further Infection, especially Into the Western part of the state, and .of stamping out the disease where it now exists, that the Department of Agriculture and the state authorities have joined hands. The Government order was received with surprise, not only by the cattlemen of Boston, but as well by the steamship companies, as it means considerable loss to the lines carrying cattle to Europe from this port. Such drastic- measures have seldom been adopted by the United States Government. Several agents cabled to the home office In London for Instructions as to shipments now on the wajv The commissioners believe thnt the dis ease was brought to Brighton from the neighborhood of Cumberland, R. I., and that it was due to the cows called "strip pers." These "strippers" are cows which nt: highly fed for 18 months without be ing allowed to calve In order to obtain an abnormal milk supply. The animals are then fattened for slaughter. Agent Brady, of the Leland.llne, said tonight that the order of the Secretary of Agriculture would have a very bad effect upon the commerce of Boston. The steam er Columbian, which was to have sailed on Saturday with 600 cattle and 403 sheep now on the way to this port, may not be able to leave. It was also ascertained tonight that the restrictions which the British government placed three years ago on Canadian cat tle shipments, on account of the out break of this disease, had not yet been removed. Rhode Island Will Act. PROVIDENCE. R. I.. Nov. 27. The State Board of Agriculture will take ac tion on the. cattle disease that is dis turbing this state and Massachusetts. ON SCENT OF.

William Landau, said to be a wealthy cotton exporter of Texas, was arrested here today on sus picion of beinir connected with a swindle Involving, it is said, the sum of $200,000 or more. Tho firm alleged to be swindled Is that of Ladcnburg, Thalmann & Co., bankers of this city.

Tho arrest, according to the Assistant District Attorney, was made In the office of the banking firm this afternoon. Mem bers of the firm will not talk about tha case and further details are lacking. The charge against Landau is "suspicion of felony.1' Landau's counsel, Philip V. Fennolly, had, a long conference with the prisoner at police hoadquarters this afternoon. Mr. Fcnnclly later was Interviewed at his hotel and said: ''I have been unahte to examine into all the circumstances of this matter, but so far as I have Investigated. I have been unable to find that Mr. Landau has been other than absolutely honest. I have been unable to find any action on my client's part, that will not bear the very closest scrutiny. There Is nothing to suggest any wrongdoing on Mr. Landau's part. I have seen and talked to a member of the firm of Ladenburg. Thalmann & Co., and have tol.l him that I am ccrtafn this matter will straighten Itself In due time. There Is absolutely no doubt that an Injustice has been done my client and that when the matter Is unraveled and we have an opportunity to go Into the circumstances of the case, he will be placed In an -entirely different light." Mr. Fennelly said that his client's home Is In Buffalo and not In Texas, as the As sistant District Attorney had stated.
