Defeat Attributed
To Prohibition Vote
tWantoch Guilty
of Manslaughter
B. T. Jonas Asserts Congreaaman Raw-
ley Being Methodist Was Oenerally
Accepted mm Anti-Xdquor Supporter.
B. F. Jones, of Roseburg, attributes
his defeat In his race against Con
gressman W. C. Hawley for the Repub
lican nomination In the First Oregon
district to prohibition. Not that pro
hibition was an issue between the two
candidates, for it was not, nor was
prohibition In the platform of either
candidate, but according to Mr. Jones
the general proposition of state prohi
bition played its part.
Although neither candidate received
a wet or dry indorsement Mr. Jones
thinks that the voters reasoned that
Hawley stood for prohibition because
he was a Methodist and therefore gave
bim their votes.
"I attribute my defeat to prohibi
tion," said Mr. Jones recently. "The
air Is full of It. In my opinion the
people outside of Multnomah county
will vote dry two to one at the coming
November election." Hawley was nomi
nated, says Jones, because drys In his
district passed around the word that
as a Methodist he could be expected to
stand firmly for state and national
prohibition and would, if elected. In
troduce a bill for national prohibition
In congress.
Fred Hollister, the Democrat noml
ree, Dr. Wlthycombe and Dr. Smith,
were all nominated for the same
reason, he says. .Mr. Jones thinks the
wet or dry question should be settled
as soon as possible, as the present un
settled state Is hurting business and
politics.

Edson Watson Says Bureau

He Refuses Details,

announced that he would sign a Judg

claring the claimants named as heirs
by tho jury the true heirs, those not
named at all by the Jury not to be
heirs and the state to have no Intern

said that he would take no action for

Bids for Building

of a new bridge over (he Sandy river to
replace the one which went down with
a truck on Good Roads day, bo read
vertlsed for on recommendation of
Deputy District Attorney Samuel H.
Pierce.
Attorneys Hayes and Wangerien had
announced that an injunction would be
sought should the contract be awarded
on the first advertisement because the
county had not had plans and specifi
cations of the bridge on file as required
by law.
Deputy Pierce advised the board that
a court might not hold the county to

ISEB THXSB BEAUTXTTTX. SUITS IHOtn WI1TDOWS.
Klamath Falls, Or.. May 21. Edson
Watson, superintendent of the Klam
ath Indian reservation, has tendered
his resignation, which has been ac
cepted, according to r Watson, by the
bureau of Indian affairs, effective
when his successor assumes charge.
What Is behind the resignation is not
definitely known, although there are
many reports In circulation, most of
which Indicate that Watson was slated
for removal. Watson refuses to dls
cuss this, and says that the affair Is
due largely to politics within the In
dian service. It is known that H, G.
Wilson, supervisor of reservations in
Oregon, recently made some investiga
tions at the K.iamath reservation upon
complaints of Indians, but regarding
inese he made no comment.
This investigation is thought to have
been the result of alleged severe cor
poral punishment administered Indian
youths by former Principal Sims of the
agency school. Sims tendered his res
ignation to the department, but the In
dians asked the bureau of Indian af
fairs not to accept this until they had
made an Investigation, and it is un
derstood some of the Indians held Wat
son to be indirectly responsible for the
act of a subordinate, although Watson
was away from the reservation at the
time.
In view of the agitation. It is be
lieved that Watson will ask the Indian
bureau to make a complete investiga
tion of matters before he leaves.
Festival Throng Not
To See Battleship
Secretary of Chamber Unable Thus Far
to Get Promise That War Tea eel will
Be Sent to This City.
Portland probably is doomed to miss
the sight of a real battleship during
the Rose Festival.
Secretary E. C. Giltner, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, has been trying to
get special authority from the secre
tary of the navy to have a cruiser de
tailed to the Columbia river during the
show, but had almost given up hope,
when he heard that the naval force In
Mexican waters was to be reduced.
Accordingly, last night he sent a
wire to Senator Chamberlain telling of
this understanding and asking that the
request be renewed. The senator to
day wired back that Secretary Daniels
says no reduction of the naval force is
contemplated. If possible, however,
the secretary promised that a vessel
would be sent.
Deprived of an American warship,
the chamber thought It might Induce
the Japanese navy to send at least one
snip, vessels are now on their way
from Hawaii, but advices have just
been received that their schedule was
mapped out before the squadron sailed
from Toklo and it cannot now be
changed.
The chamber, however, has already
begun the campaign to have warships
at next year's Festival.
