Frank J. Murphy and M. 0. Chapman,
present to Judge Dunne n motion to al
low him to withdraw his plea of guilty

In filing the motion Ruef states that
tho plea of guilty was improperly and

Now York, March 7. A special call
was sent into fire headquarters from
the public school on One Hundred and
NinOi street, between Amsterdam ave

The fire was on the top floor of the

The 2,000 pupils in the building were
engaged in their morning singing exer
cise when the fire -gong rang and they

William Esser, a mechanic, of Brook
lyn, who, it is charged, has stolen the
brass models of the principal parts of
torpedoes now in process of secret man
ufacture for the government.
Detectives engaged on the case assert
that other arrests will be made of men
who will be charged with offering for
sale to other governments Becrets of
projectile manufacture. The, Federal
authorities would be interested in the
prosecution, it was said, though just
how was not made clear.
William Eeser was held in $1,000

Contend Low Lumber Rato Will
vent New Construction.
Washington, March 6. Argument of
the Pacific Coast lumber case was re
sumed before the Interstate Commerce
commission yesterday. J. D. Kerr,
representing the Hill roads, frankly
stated that the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern have reached their ca
pacity for handling traffic. He said as
the development of the Northwest con
tinued, traffic would grow. Therefore
existing roads must increase their ca
pacity or new roads must be built, but
he declared no new roads would be
built to haul lumber unless they had a
guarantee of a rate that would be re
munerative. If the old non-compen
satory lumber rato is continued in
effect, money cannot be procured and
railroad building will stop, he said.
Mr. Kerr denied that the lumber
men would be injured by an increase.
They wonld still make a big profit, he
declared. The Booth-Kelly company
in Oregon, which is not operated under
favorable conditions, could, on the
basis of an advanced rate, still earn 31
per cent annually on ite investment.
Some companies could make larger
profits, others not so much. Relative
to the arguments that lumber cannot
move into competitive territory under
an advanced rate,Mr. Kerr showed that
the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber com
pany, of Tacoma, paid 55 cents into
this district for years and made good
profits. This is higher than the pro
posed new rate.
WANT FOREST PRESERVED.

ilrom uio roormun mino. mo uuvui
opment thus far done has exposed 40
feet cf ore and the full width of the
ledoe has not vet been determined. It
is thought that tho lodge will widen
to 70 or 80 feet. Tho discovorers and
owners of tho claim aro C. 0. Cox and
Frank Keating, of this city, and M. T.
Weum, of Minneapolis. Sumplos of
the ore exhibited in this city show
great copper values, and mining circles
are considerably excited.
The following statement suggests mo
tives stronger than "extravagance:"
The enrollment has increased but 23
per cent, while increased appropriations
of 300 per cent is requested; that tables
submitted by alumni are "pretended"
and false; that where the students at
the university cost the . Btato $150 per
year, tho common schools receive but
$8 per pupil. The argument states
"tho university has shown bad faith in
pushing this bill; university professors
with large salaries have extravagant
ideas."'
Has Shearing Record.
Pendleton A. T. Hill, who broke
the world's sheep shearing record at
Beardsley, Arizona, is coming to Uma
tilla and Morrcw counties to shear this
spring. He will join a shearing crew
at Heppner about March 15. Hill
sheared 325 sheep in nine hours at
Beardsley, breaking the former record
of 310 held by Jack Wyr.n, of Now
Mexico. The crew of 30 men in which
Hill worked on the record breaking day
sheared 6,572 head in nine hours.
Morrow and Umatilla county sheep
shear easier than the sheep of the
Southwest and it is expected that Hill
will beat his Arizona record with the
Heppner crew.
Market Day Not Success.
La Grande La Grande's lirut mar
ket day was not quite tho success that
was anticipated, at least from the
standpoint of thoso who brought live
stock to bo auctioned. Prices offered
in most caseswero so low that the
owners "preferred to withdraw their
property from sale. But the merchants
of the city mado every effort, and wero
eminently successful, to give the visit
ing farmers much more than the usual
value for their money. Hargaitis
abounded in all tho mercantile estab
lishments. Hundreds of countiy peo
ple thronged tho streets.
Pendleton Wants Demonstration.
Pendleton The diversified farming
plan of the O. R. & N. officials haB met
with the approval of tho Commercial
association, which has appointed a
committee to confer with the officials
bavins the demonstration work in
charge. This committee will
to Induce the Harriman agents to ex
tend their instruction lecture train into

?iade to have the railroad people estab
ish a modern experimental farm in
this county where it can be demon
strated that the summer fallow is a

Sale of Big Grain Farm.
Pendleton The salo of the Cooley

Wholesale Lumber Dealers Approve
Policy of Government.
Washington, March 6. The conclud
ing ieature ol the lotti annual conven
tion of the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers' association was a banquet at
the New Willard last night.
The principal topic of discussion yes
terday was forest preservation. The
report of the committee on forestry de
clared that the lumber dealers realize
the inevitable sbprtage in the timber
supply which must be felt in the very
near futuro and are doing more prob
ably than any other agency to promote
the cause of forestry. The report de
clares that with all the agencies at
work they are hopeful 'that our forests
will etill be preserved. Repeal of the
homestead law as applied to timber
lands is advocated, but the general for
est reeerve policy of the government is
approved.
Miners on Non-union Basis.
Seattle, Wash., March 6. A cable
dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer from
Fairbanks, Alaska, say: Nineteen
operators on Vault creek, formerly
operating eight hours and paying $5
resolved to go on a ten-hour $5 basis on
March 10, and havo eo notified their
employes. Many men aro arriving
daily over the trail and are being sent
out to work in the mines. More men j
are working on the nonunion basis than
ever, many union operators having
joined the Mineowner' association and
prospects are bright for a banner Beason.
Would Classify Banks.
San Francisco, March 0. Represent
atives of the San Francisco Saving?
Bank association appeared before the
special legislative committee on bank
ing laws today in order to make re
commendations for the amendment of
the existing laws. The chief recom
mendation was that laws bo passed
separating tho three different kinds of
banking known as trust business, com
mercial business and savings deposits,
so they can be better regulated.
Star Route Beats Train.
The Dalles According to E. L. Bolt
on, of Kingsjey, the people of that sec
tion of Wasco county1 are dissatisfied
with their present mail service. Tho
mail from The Dalles for that region
goes as far as Dufur by train. A peti
tion is being circulated asking that the
mail be taken from the Great Southern
and carried by wagon from The Dalles
to Dufur and then on to Kingsley, Tygh
valley and Wapinita. This mothod
would deliver the mail at Kingsloy al
most 24 hours earlier than according to
the present method.

Condon The farmers of the South
ern part of Gilliam courfty are uniting
in an effort to secure the extension of
the Arlington-Ondon branch of the O.
R. & N. as far south as the Buckhorn
country, a distance of at least 15 miles
from Condon. The reason ie that much
time ifl wasted every fall and winter in
hauling tho Buckhorn grain crop to
market, us it takes one day for the
Buckhorn farmers to make ono trip to
the station and warehouses.
Report of Insane Asylum.
Salem Superintendent R. E. Leo,

Washington, March 4. Venezuela
has again declined to tirbUinto tho

boon ponding for soino tlmo botwoon
tho Castro administration and tho
Aihorlcan govornmont. Thla tlmo tho
refusal is made- Bpeclflo with rohpeot to
each of tho qitoatlona Brpivrntoly and
dlffor8 from tho last refusal to arbitrate
In Uiat tho refusal thon win mado as
to all questions en bloc.
It was explained at tho Stato depart
ment today that tho presentation by
Milliliter Russell of ouch of tho flvo
points in dlsputo, with a rcqiiost for
arbitration, leavea no foundation foi it
futuro representation by Vcnezuoln to
tho effect that sho was not nsked to nr.
hltrato any of tho questions separately.
This would seem to clear up the Hlttm
tion by making It plain that diplomacy
can accomplish nothing further toward
settling thoso controverBleH.
That this deadlock will bo mado to
appear to tho United States aennto
when It reeolvos tho contents of tho
files of tho State department respecting
Venezuela, information for which It
asked liiBt weok, there can bo no doubt.
Jn asking uibltiatlon of tho differ

left open tho question of tho machinery
of arbitration to bo omployed. This
government would havo been glad to
have tho controversy go to Tho Haguo.
Failing in this, It Is bollovod any othor
duly appointed tribunal would havo
been acceptable.
WAS BOLD STROKE.
Bank Vault Robbed Directly Under
Owner's Study.
El Paso, Tex., March 4. A dispatch
from Chihuahua says:
Tho daring bank robber, who on Sun
day removed $205,000 from tho vaultn
of tho Chihuahua branch of tho Bunco
Mlnern, took tho money from a vault
directly under tho atudy of Govornor
Enrique 0. Creel, who litis a residence
iu the upper stories of tho building.
Tho lock to tho document vault was
broken from tho inside, anil tho cur-
roncy taken consisted oi notes aircauy
issued and passing constantly over tlio
counters. Tlio numbers ro unknown
and identification will bo practically
Impossible.
A statement lias been Issued by tho
bank officials calling in all outstanding
1,C00 peso notes for redemption. Mont
of tho misBii.g money waa of thus do-
nomination. A largo quantity of silver,
gold and bills of email denominations
wero untouched by tho roblwrB, al
though they wero lying in tho samo
compartment from which tho currency
was taken.
It If believed that tho robbers had
accomplices among tho bank employee,
and that thoy wero concealed In tho
vault before closing timo Saturday
afternoon Tho lock being broken from
tho inside of tho vault supports this
theory. The bank watchman, tho Min
er and two or threo men of unknown
antecedents havo been urrestcd and uro
held in lull. American detectives aro
hero at work on tho caeo, but if they
have a clow to the robbers tho authori
ties refuso to make it public.
