Supreme Court Confirms Sentences
of Two Greek Laborers for Par
ticipation in Shooting in Which
a Woman Was Killed,
Where the evidence shows that a
number of men engaged In an assault
and that bullet holes prove that many
different guns were used, no error Is
committed In finding that the crime
of riot was committed.
Where the grantee of a deed pro
cures the execution of the instrument
by fraud and takes possession of It
without the grantor's consent, there
has been no legal delivery and con
sequently no conveyance.
SALEM. Or., June 12. (Special.) The
Supreme Court handed down decisions to
day In three appealed cases, the most Im
portant of which was the Douglas County
riot case, in which three Greek laborers
on the railroad were convicted of riot
committed when a freight train bumpod
against cars in which the Greeks were
living, in October, 1905. The decisions were
In brief as follows:
Rioters' Sentence Is Affirmed.
State of Oregon, respondent, vs. Tom
George. Anton Mlzis and Peter Demas, ap
pellant, from Douglas County, Hon. J. W.
Hamilton and L. T. Harris. Judges; affirmed.
Opinion by Chief Juetlce Wean.
About 10 o'clock on the night of October
10, 1905, an extra freifiht train "headed
In" on a siding at Glenbrook, a small
station south of Roseburg, to clear the
northbound passenger, thert about due.
There were about 80 Greeks, employed In
repairing the roadbed, housed In "outfit
cars" standing on this siding. The engine
bumped into them with such violence as
to damage the furniture and belongings
of the occupants. The enraged Greeks
twarmed out and began a fusillade at the
freight train and Its crew. The fire was
returned by one of the brakemen, and
eome shots were fired by the foreman.
There were fired in all from 75 to 100
shots. Imring the difficulty the wife of
the foreman was killed and one of the
Greek laborers Injured.
The Sheriff sent a posse in a special
train, who arrested the Greeks and
brought them to Roseburg, where they
were confined in a warehouse guarded by
the state militia, which had been ordered
out by the County Judge. The circuit
Court was in session, and the grand jury
returned an indictment against the de
fendants for riot, and, upon trial, they
were convicted and sentenced to the pen
itentiary George and Demas ior ten years
and Misls for three years.
The defendants moved for a change of
venue on the ground that they could not
secure a fair and Impartial trial in the
county on account of the publicity given
the matter by the Roseburg and Portland
papers, alleging that the reports were un
fair and inaccurate. The court overruled
the motion upon the showing by the affi
davits of citizens and officers of the coun
ty that in their opinion a fair and Im
partial trial could be had.
The Supreme Court holds that as there
was no difficulty experienced In securing
x jury, and the court did not abuse Us dis
cretion, no error was committed. A mo
tion for a continuance was overruled. The
Supreme Court holds that this was not
error, because no sufficient reason was
given for a long continuance, and had
counsel desired more time for preparation
they should have moved for a reasonable
time.
The defendants moved for a directed
verdict of acquittal, on the ground that
there was no proof of the commission of
the crime of riot, but their motion was
overruled and such ruling was sustained
by the Supreme Court.
Each of the trainmen, the englnemen
end the foremen of the Greek gangs tes
titled to the Bhootlng, and some identified
the defendants as having been in the
crowd that rushed from the cars armed.
The engine cab was riddled with builets
of various sizes, thus showing that the
firing was done from different guns and
no doubt by different persons. The Su
preme Court holds that there was no er
ror in finding that the crime of riot was
committed.
. Property Does Not Pass.
Clark M. Pierson, executor, respondent, vs.
Charles F. Fisher, appellant, from Yamhill
County, William Galloway, Judge; affirmed.
Opinion by Justice Moore.
Mrs. Mary E. Burbank, a wealthy old
lady living near McMinnville, was desir
ous of leaving her property in such a
chape as to afford a permanent income for
the benefit of some charitable institution.
and Charles F. Flsner. of Portland, pres
Jdent of the American Alarm Company, a
concern manufacturing burglar and fire
alarms, rode her acquaintance and tried
to induce her to purchase stock in his
company to aid her purpose. She agreed
to sell him her farm for J4000 In cash, and
the remainder of about $ouuO she would
take In stock.
Fisher went to her house with a notary
public, and a deed ready prepared, which
ehe then signed. He asked her how much
money was necessary, and she answered
(40CO. He sat at a table and wrote some
thing, which she thought was a check,
and assigned to her some of the stock of
Ms company. The deed was left lying on
a. table, where the notary had taken the
acknowledgment, and in a few minutes
Fisher picked it up and put it in his pock
et, apparently without Mrs. Burbank see
ing him. Shortly thereafter, he left and
Mrs. Burbank then discovered that what
lie had left was his note for $1000 and
' J7500 In stock. She immediately saw her
lawyer and commenced uui suit to re
move the cloud of such deed from her
title and to restrain him from placing the
came on record.
After winning in the lower court, she
died, and her executor and her devisee,
the State of Oregon, as trustee, were sub
stituted in her place. The Supreme Court
holds that there never having been a de
livery or the deed, either actual or con
structlve. there was no conveyance, and
cancels and perpetually enjoins its being
placed on record.
Other Decisions Given.
Israel Kats. respondent, vs. Silas Oben
chain, and others, appellants, from Klamath
County. Hon. Henry I Benson, Judge; re
versed. Opinion by Chief justice Bean.
This case involved the doctrine of
merger as applied to estates in real prop
erty and Hens thereon. To protect a lien
holder who subsequently acquired the fee
of real estate, his lien was not allowed
to merge into his higher estate.

Corvallis Cadets Were to
Have Given Sham Battle.
SOAKED GROUND PREVENTS
Agricultural College Senior Class) ot
Forty-three Members Is Enter
tained by President and
Mrs. Gatch at Noon.
CORVALLIS, Or., June 12. (Special.)
The rains are interfering to a considerable
extent with the ceremonies and pleasures
of commencement week at the Oregon
Agricultural College. A physical culture
exercise yesterday afternoon choked the
big armory with visitors to such an ex
tent that many were unable to enter. The
fierce wind and rain that was in vogue
made things extremely unpleasant for
those on the outside.
A big sham battle was to have taken
place on the college campus at 10 o'clock
this morning, as one of the greatest
events of the week. It had been planned
for weeks, and hundreds of the cadets had
remained over a day or two longer in or
der to participate. All last night, how
ever, rain fell in torrents, and a brief reg
imental drill was substituted.
The senior class numbering 43, was en
tertained at the noon hour today by Pres
ident and Mrs. Gatch.
The class day exerctses took place in the
armory at 3 o'clock. The exercises con
sisted of muslo- by the Cadet' Regiment
Band, oration by Stella Parsons, prophecy
by Miles Belden and poem by Laura Hill.
The class day programme was followed
by a closely-contested baseball game be
tween the seniors and "ie faculty; the
seniors being the challengers. The sen
iors also won the game by the score of 11
to 2. Following the game, refreshments
were served to all the visitors, several
hundred in number, in the household sci
ence rooms. The class day closed with a
farce at the Opera-House tonight.
The graduating exercises take place at
10 o'clock tomorrow. For the first time
in several years the senior pennant floated
unmolested from the flagstaff on the ad
ministration building. Not to be outdone.
however, within a few minutes after the
senior flag was unfurled, the Juniors flung
their pennant from an improvised staff
on the college water tower, which over
tops all the buildings in the vicinity.
WELLS MUST BE DUG DEEPER
Curious Result of the Recent High
Water at Milton. ,
PENDLETON. Or., June 12. (Special.)
Owing to the fact that the channel of
Walla Walla River has been consider
ably changed, the irrigators will sustain
considerable loss In the Freewater-Mtlton
country on account of the recent flood.
The water has dropped in places where
It has been taken out of the river. It
Is now being debated whether it will be
wise to build a dam or to make a deep
channel above Milton. Land will have to
be redltched In many places as a result
of the flood.
The people of Freewater are also
mourning dry wells, the water having
dropped 18 feet below the surface water
level. The cause is unknown, unless It
is the fact that -the river has cut a deeper
channel than it had before the flood.
Some argue that the mud and silt has
settled In the gravel bed, making a
cement which prevents seepage.
The farmers are being obliged to die
deeper in order to get any water. This,
besides the loss of time and money In
volved. Is Inconvenient, coming as it does
Just at the- season 01 ine year wnen
water is most needed.
CAR TICKETS FOR VISITORS

SPOKANE. Wash., June 13. (Special.)

sented, besides badges worn by all, a
guide book of the city and eight street
car tickets Inclosed In an envelope In
dorsed: "To our visitors: We want you

VALE HAS A
GREAT REJOICING WHEN LAT
SPIKE IS DRIVEN.
Progressive Citizens of Malheur
County Seat Raise a Very
Handsome Bonus.
VALE, T., Jan 43(9pecial.) The last
spike in the Vale & Majheur Valley Rail
way, -between Vale and the Oregon Short
Line. IS miles east of thta place, was
driven Sunday at 11:07 A. M. by Stephen
Carver and Conductor Thomas Rlcker,
who had charge of the construction train.
The contracts for the 15,000 bonus were up
Sunday night, and the work bad to be
completed Sunday.
For about one week the work had been
rushed at the rate of about one mile a
day. An immense crowd gathered at the
depot site to see the completion of the
track, and they were enthusiastic in their
demonstrations. The few words said at
the driving of the last spike could not be
heard by those nearest the speakers on
account of the great cheering of the citi
zens of Vale.
Vale has been a trading station for over
30 years, and has been the county seat of
Malheur County for more than 20 years,
and the old settlers who had raised this
bonus felt that their work in securing this
line for Vale had not been done In vain.
Activity is following In the wake of this
new railroad, and the coun'.y seat has
been saved to Vale. New buildings are
under contract, a new brickyard is estab
lished, new stores erected and everything
looks toward a greater prosperity.
The depot grounds will be cleared and a
depot erected. Two warehouses have been
placed here, one or which is of native
stone. The wool from the Interior that is
shipped through Vale annually will reach
4,000.000 pounds. .This now goes to Hunt
ington and Ontario.
Stephen Carver Is the promoter of the
line, and, although It is believed to be a
connecting link In a through transconti
nental system at a later date with the
Oregon Short Line Railroad, It will be at
least two years before that company will
have built across from the Coast to this
point.
Many single subscribers placed as much
as $500, $750 and $1000 towards raising the
bonus. It means a large decrease of ready
cash, but the people of Vale do not regret
the expense. They built their own court
house of native stone and donated it to
the county: they built their own native
stone schoolhouse, and to close they have
given freely a big bonus for a town of 600
people towards this railroad.
Terminal grounds are to be established
here. The road has a straight, level run,
with not a curve in it for over ten miles
of the 16, and is considered a very fine
piece of engineering work.
TO PROTECT IDAHO FORESTS
Wardens to Be Paid by State, Rail-
road and Nation.
BOISE, Idaho, June 12. Special.) It
has been determined by the state to put
men into the timber in the northern part
of the state In proportion to the acreage
of Its holdings. Two associations have
been organized, one called the Clearwater
Fire Protection Association, the other the
Coeur d'Alene Fire Protection Associa
tion. The territory of the former has
been divided into eight districts and that
of the latter into ten. There is a super
intendent for each association, and there
will be three patrolmen in each district.
The state participates by appointing pa
trolmen in proportion to Its acreage. The
National Government, through the Forest
Service, also participates, and the North
ern Pacific Railway Company will do like
wise. A similar association will be formed
In the Lake Pend d'Oreille district.
The state owns 350,000 acres in the Clear
water and Coeur d'Alene districts having
a roughly estimated value ot $500,000. It
is estimated the loss to the state up to
this time has been $200,000. It is hoped
practically to prevent serious loss in the
future through the precaution being taken.
The patrolmen will all be made game war
dens, and will be given authority also to
arrest persons setting fires. Similar asso
ciations are to be organized in Southern
Idaho.
MAYOR WRIGHT GIVES VETO
Declares Against $1000 License and
for Boxes In Saloons.
TACOMA, Wash., June 12. (Special.)
In nearly every one of his campaign
speeches. Mayor Wright pledged him
self, if elected, that, it the City Council
saw nt to modify the existing laws or
place any additional restrictions on the
liquor business, he would give it his
hearty support and approval. Today
Mayor Wright sent a long message to
the Council, vetoing: the new saloon or
dinance. He objects to the $1000 fee because
it was not an Issue In the campaign,
and favors closed boxes In restaurants
and winerooms because many citizens
wish some place where they can get a
meal in private. An attempt will be
made tomorrow night to pass the or
dinance over the veto, and only one
additional vote is needed.

WHEAT SALES DAYS
Umatilla County Growers Will
Sell Product at Auction.
WILL ORGANIZE SATURDAY
Subjects of Grain Sacks, Freight
Rates and Farming Implements
Will Come Up for Discussion
at Pendleton Meeting,
PENDLETON, Or., June 12. (Special.)
The farmers of Umatilla County will hold
wheat sales days this year at the differ
ent whdat centers of the county, at which
bids will be received on the different crops
and varieties of wheat. Just as the wool
growers sell their wool, in public compe
tative sales.
A meeting of the farmers of Umatilla
County has been called for Saturday af
ternoon, June 16, at the parlors of the
Commercial Association in this city, at
which time a temporary organization will
be effected and preliminary steps taken
to organize and name sales days for wheat
in the various wheat centers of the
county. This meeting is called by leading
farmers of this vicinity. Helix and Athena.
.Not only will the matter of public sales
days be discussed, but the matter of pur
chasing sacks, freight rates, farming irrf
plements and other subjects Important to
the farmers will also be dlscusssed at
length. Especially will the subject of
grain sacks come In for discussion.
Sacks are now 10H cents . each and
the price is constantly advancing. The
farmers feel that this is an unreasonable
price and steps will be, taken to ascertain
If the conditions warrant such prices.
About 4.300,000 bushels of wheat are mar
keted in this county every year, and the
farmers feel that if a small fraction of
a cent on each bushel Is saved, or if a
small saving is effected on the purchase
of grain sacks, the organization will have
accomplished its purpose.
REFUSED TO PAY ASSESSMENT
Seattle Employing Printers Dropped
From the Union.
SEATTLE, June 12. (Special.) The
union cards of between 25 and 30 employ
ing printers were taken from them this
week by the Allied. Trados Council, and
the men have been notified that union
rules will not permit them to work, even
In their own offices. A small employer
named Peters attempted to work with his
men, and they left him today.
Under the rules of the Typographical
Union here, employing printers are sub
ject to the same rules as their men. The
trouble with the union grows out of an
order that each member contribute 10 per
cent of his wages to the striking printers
in the East. The employers refused to do
so, and after notice were dropped.
