TOWN'S EX-MRYOR
IS UNDER ARREST
Sensation Sprung in Feud Be
tween Political Factions
at Union.
REFORM ELEMENT IS HIT
Trr Coum-I linen Accused or Assault
Because They Forcibly Take Bot
tle of Near Beer l'roin Tati-on
of Soft-Drink I'arlor.
LA GRANDE, Dr.. July 10. (Spe
cial.) Union is rapidly developing a
widespread feud which gives promise
of tome serious developments. The
trouble lies between the so-called re
form clement and those who are less
radical. The latest sensation was the
arrest today of ex-Mayor Law on a
charge of poaching ducks. iaw he
longs to the -reform" element and was
Mayor until last Thursday night,
when he resigned and was elected to
R position in the City Council, ex
changing positions with Councilman
Iawsun. as a coup to avoid the action
tf the recall movement, which is now
on foot. The arrest on the charge of
violation of the frame laws comes as
the result of secret work on the part
of his enemies.
Later In the day another sensation
wan sprung in the arrest of Council
man . I l'ratt and John Wolfe, a
prominent member of the reform fac
tion, on an assault and battery charge.
Pratt and Wolfe were reported to have
been deputized by Mayor l,aw to search
for evidence against the alleged boot
leggers In the city. Upon meeting- J.
Clark coming out of a soft-drink sa
loon these men pounced upon him and
took from him a bottle which t hev
claimed was beer, but which Claric
maintains was only neur-beer.
These cases are set for hearing next
Tuesday morning. District Attorney
S. K. Ivanhoe was called to Union to
day to prosecute the men and when he
returned he said the parties have been
proceeding without legal counsel and
have affairs badly mixed up. In the
meantime the petition for the recall
of Law. Pratt. Hutchinson and Schoon
nver. "reform" officials, is being cir
culated. It Is assorted that the peti
tion will easily get a majority of the
taxpayers of the community.
The trouble In Union tlrst began to as
ume threatening proportions about the
middle of June, when the "reform" ele
ment filed statutory charges against a
pioneer soft-drink dealer named Jones.
This move was considered due to an ef
fort to oust Jones from the city.
Again there was trouble brewing on
July 4. when an effort was made to ar
rest the City Marshal on a charge of boot
legging. The local Constable was asked
to serve the warrant, but refused, and
Sheriff Chllders was called rom La
Grande. He found the papers not In
legal form, so refused to act. The City
Marshal rode at the head of the parade
unmolested.
Early last week Charles Holmes was
arrested for larceny from the person, be
cause on the celebration day he forcibly
took from Ralph Smith a bottle which
he claimed was beer, but which Smith
Seclared was soda pop. Holmes' case is
et for Tuesday. This was the last of the
tensational arrests prior to the arrest o
the city officials today.

TO QUIT OUTLAWS
Moreing Ready to Make Two
Oakland Teams One.
SECRET DEAL UNDER WAY
State League Team to Be Swallowed
and Distributed Among Coast
League Clubs. Moreing Hav
ing tlie Kirst Pick.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 10. (Special.)
There is a movement on foot In Oak
land to combine the Pacific Coast
League team and the California State
League club Into one organization, with
Cy Moreing-, the outlaw magnate, hold
ing the franchise in the Pacific Coast
League. Several days ago a secret
meeting was held between the parties
Interested, and steps were taken to
have Oakland represented by one
strong club in the Pacific Coast League.
Whether the proposition was made by
the outlaw management or came from
Pacific Coast sources is not known at
present, but it is a positively estab
lished fact that such a move is under
way. Both sides of the deal have been
sworn not to divulge the transaction
until all minor details are closed.
Meets Moreing Hair Way.
Whether Moreing became discouraged
over the showing of his- outlaw team,
or whether he was losing money and
thus sought the help - of the Pacific
Coast officials, is not known. It is
more than probable that, if Moreing did
make such a move the Coast League
people were anxious to meet him more
than half way. The State League mag
nate was reported as laying plans to
enter Kan Francisco next year with an
opposition club to the Seals, and it is
.lust possible that the attention of
Morejng was first called to the mat
ter. If this bis baseball dftal aoes through, i
as is expected, within the next tw days, 1

it will mean that the present Oakland
team will drop out of the State League
and the players will be distributed to the
Coast Lieague teams after Oakland has
had the pick of the bunch. Moreing is
also interested in the Stockton club, and
the move of the Pacific Coast League of
ficials in getting him to desert the out
laws means much to the State League
schedule.

UMPIRE ENFORCES OLD RULE
Louisville Wins on Balk Decision
Xever Before Used.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 10. Local
experts on baseball technicalities agree
that a decision ty Umpire Clarence
Owens here today, which gave Louis
ville the winning run, is unique. Peltz
was at bat for Louisville, with two on
bases. McCurdy, pitcher for Toledo, de
cided to give Peitz his base. Three
wide ones were thrown to Peltz. and
before the fourth was pitched, Catcher
Land, of Toledo, deliberately stepped
"out of line" and received an exception
ally wide throw.
Owens promptly called it balk, and
signaled Sullivan on third to come In,
with what proved to be Louisville's
winning run. The rule on which Owens
bases his decision was passed six years
ago, and has never been called into
force before.
