Facts which came to light yester
day and last night show the hlgHly
;iealous and loyal manner In which
Councilman J. T. Hlnkle upholds the
.city administration and the police
'.department. 'The councilman from
the Fourth w.ird Is the nttorney for
Clark, Bodine and Lamont, who art
now under arrest for the affair In a
Cottonwood street crib hist Friday
morning. Clark and Bodine made a
brutal attack -upon Officer Waters,
which resulted In the shooting of
Clark by the orflcer. Lamont is un
der arrest because he refused to aid
the policeman during the fight and
afterwards.
? Soon after the three men had been
arrested Hlnkle was retained to de
fend tbcm, and Ms Hilt of action is
very plainly shown herein.
For those not fumlllar with Cot
tonwood street conditions. It must be
.exnlalned that Sadie is the
'Proprietress of the Stock Exchange
an' also of the row of cribs which
e the alley leading from Cotton
wood street to the rear of the saloons.
,At the ttlme of the trouble I art Frl-
day morning she appeared upt-n the
.scene. .Learning wfc'it was In prog

Waters, and falling to find anyone
'with sufficient manhood to assist, she
took a part In the proceedings her

with the wounded maji Clark.

ruffians the wrimen of the tenderloin
ere disposed to aid the police when

within the rea'lght dlswict. It was
this .feeling that brought Sadie to the
eld of Officer Waters, and the senti

It could not be changed fn such a
consideration as J 200.
Sadie Ejptoses Plut
The (following story of a proposal
which recently came to her from
Councilman Hlnkle, was luld last
night by Sudie in the presence of
Marshal Gurdane, frfflcer Waters and
two other witnesses.
Several days ago t'ouncllrout Hln
kle. attended by hit brother, .called
upon the proprietress of tht .-Stock
Exchange to talk with her regarding
the cases iiRiilnst Clar.k. Bodln and
Lamont. Especial Interest was iken
. by the .attorney In Lamojit, and be .in
sisted to the woman that it would be
all wrong to pimsecute him for nwsnuy
falling to help .a policeman. How
ever, that view of the case was mat
shared It Sadie, who had been In the
melee herself. Consequently. wHen
Hlnkle asked her If she would netl
contrive la have the two women vS
the cribs who are witnesses for the
lty In the Clark-Bodlne case, leave
.town before the trial, she refused.
.She Insisted tbut top three men had
Wn In the wrong and she declined
to have her "girls'' leuve town for
their (the men's) benefit.

' According to Sadie the councilman
Insisted strongly that the two women
ahoule be gotten away and he veiled
nls entreaty with a threut by saying
that should the case cumc to trial It
might result In the Cottonwood resorts
or part of them being abolished.
However, the proprietress was still
unwilling to enter Into the deal. Ac
cording to Sadie the two men then
left the plac', but as they did so the
councilman remarked to his brother.
In plain hearing of the woman, that
there wus $109 for her In it if she
would have the two women leave

young man of the Idle Rear crowd,
whom she suspected at once of hav

man. In a very guarded manner the
fellow made It known that he was
authorized to give Sadie 1100, and
each of the girls $50, provided they
would leave town and not appear
against Clark, Bodine and Lamont.
When this offer was made Sadie de
clared she could not consider It at all
.until the money was In sight and she
knew with Whom she was dealing. At
first the briber refused to tell who
had sent blm, but finally stated that
the offer of the money was from
"Attorney Hlnkle." Having unmasked
the game to her complete satisfaction
Sadie then refused to participate, and

On learning today of the efforts

will be made to work, live and act as
other prisoners in the penitentiary.
Since Sloan has been sent to the
penitentiary pending his examination
and Is not in fact a convict, there Is
no special place assigned for such
prisoners, but friends of Sloan had
hoped that he would be kept apart
from the regulnr convicts. and would
be confined In special quarters.
Such will not be the case.- He will
don the stripes, enter the lists under
his regular number and will be as
signed to prison labor Just as other
convicts.

THE PRESIDENT HAS NO
RIGHT TO DECLINE.
Unisons Why Theodore Roosevelt
Should Be) tlw Next President Are
Set Forth Clenrly anil firaphlcnllv
Tho President Has Been Elected
But Once The People. Huve a Right
to Say Who Shall Serve Them De
cision Does Not Rest With the
President.
The campaign for a third term for
President Roosevelt has reached
Pendleton. The mall this morning
brought copies of the platform of the
Roosevelt Third Term league recent
ly formed In Chicago, and accom
panying the platform are circular
letters giving Instructions as to the
organization of the local leagues to
boost the president Into office In 1908
against his wishes.
While the press reports have con
tained excerpts from the platform of
the Third Term league, yet the first
complete draft of the platform to
reach the city came today.
Following the text of the Third
Term platform upon the campaign
for the re-election of Theodore Roose
velt will be conducted during the
next two years:
We, the members of the Roosevelt
Third Term National league, having
nt heart the great social and political
problems now confronting the people,
and In order that the rights of the
masses be protected and that national
harmony be preserved deem it lm
Tinrlve that Theodore noosevlt be
re-elected to the presidency In 1908.
We hive come upon dnys in our so
cial and political life, fermenting
with distrust and requiring firm con
trol. We view with alarm the evils al
ready grown from the abuse of cor
porate power and see In these evils a
fertile field for the demagogue,
from which might readily spring a
political sad social revolution, and be
lieve that nothing short of temperate
and prayerful solicitude, on the part
of the people, will hold our political
and social structure Intact.
To the people Irrespective of party
lines Is due the credit that their pres
ident, today, is Theodore Roosevelt.
A new era of real freedom and vital
ity In our institutions of government
and politics was demanded, and they
wisely saw In him a means to attain
It
So valiantly and wholeheartedly has
this man reflected the wishes of the
people, that his personality has. en
tered Into and become a part of every
department of our nntlonal life.
He has won the confidence of the
people: and this fact alone, makes
him the most potent fnctnr in the so
lution of the present disturbing con
ditions. To eliminate this personality
which Is to eliminate that confi
dence at a time when the people, as
a whole, are restive and trembling
with apprehension. Is to Invite na
tional disorder.
We are not unmindful of the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt himself de
clared In 1904, that "under no cir
cumstances would he be a candidate
for. or. would he accept another nom
ination." We challenge, however, his right
to refuse to accept the presidency of
the United States for a third term, in
face of the people's demand. espe
cially nt a time when so many under
takings of the highest Importance
have been brought about and set In
motion by him, and so subject them
to the danger of an untried and un-
the service should be discontinue:!.
Aside from the Commercial associ
ation the Merchants' association is all
sc pi. inning to enter Into a strong
protest should II be found the com
pany actually Intends taking off the
tialn. It is believed the combined
efforts of these oi Ranizatli ns will be
sufficient to keep the train running
Especially Is this true In view of tint
fact that the train is hilng properly
patronized and the further fact that
should the O. R. & S. company Insist
upon arbitrary action the local mer
chants could retaliate by routing
freight via the Noithern Pacific.
This afternoon Agent E. C. Smith
stated that In reply to a query from
this place Robert Burns, general
agent ut Walla Walla, hud declared
he knew nothing of any proposed
change In the present schedule be
tween here and Walla Walla. In view
of this statement It is considered
doubtful If the company Is Intending
to discontinue the train.

We further hold, that In point of

constitute a third term. He has been
elected to the presidency but once.
Inasmuch, however, as the issue has
been so generally spoken of as a

ACCIDENTAL KILLING.
One Boy Carelessly Handles Ills Gun
While Out Hunting.
Baker City, Dec. 27. Yesterday
afternoon occurred the sudden death
of little Myron Eardley, the son of
James W. Eardley of South Baker,
in the employ of the Oregon Lumber
company, by the accidental discharge
of a 44-40 rifle In the hands of his
playmate companion Harry Bell,
about a quarter of a mile from the
Bowen ranch near the line of the
Sumpter Valley railway, while the
boys were out hunting.
The two lads had gone out to try
their luck on a Christmas holiday,
and had their guns crossed over their
shoulders. Young Bel), In removing
his gun to his arms, caught the safe
ty lever In the lapel of his coat and
In some manner the rifle was fired,
the bullet piercing his friend in the
left breast and coming out through
the right liver. Young Eardley died
Instantly. Bell, hearing the report of
his gun, turned to see where the bul
let had lodged, only to find his friend
reeling In his tracks. He called to
Myron several times, hut received no
reply. Seeing the blood flow from his
friend's side he became crazed and
frantic in his despair and grief and
rushed up the road, hailed a passing
team and explained his trouble to the
occupants, who passed coldly on, leav
ing the boy alone with his dead
friend. Three times Bell stopped
passing teams, but the drivers passed
the boy by on the other side, leaving
their brutality a monument in his
memory and a disgrace to the com
munity. Finally one man came along who
heeded the boy's distress and hurried
over to the Bowen ranch and New
Bowen telephoned to the city. Dr.
Barton responding and appearing on
the scene In 30 minutes, while Man
ager Barton of the Sumpter Valley,
sent out a special train with Coroner
Ison, who brought the remains of
young Eardly to South Boker, where
an Inquest was held and the little
Bell boy, then almost In hysterics,
properly cared for.

Northern Pmll'lc Secured Arrest of

From ii I'lciKlit Train, But the Jury

the t'liciiin-tanecs Old Cae Re
Cullcil. Tlue men arrested at Council .lur
ing the fuel famine for stealing coal
fv.Mii the Northern 1'aclflc rn'lroad,
were found "not guilty" by a Jury of
their neighbors In less than 20 min
utes. The ti la! took place at Council
and was one of the highest sensations
the metropolis of franklin county has
experienced for many years. Public
sentiment almost without exception,
upheld the action of the accused men
In taking the ci.nl under the circum
stances. Tho trial recalls some almost for
gotten f.'cts in connection with the
tearing up and burning of a railroad In
that section s.mie years ago. The O.
R. & N. blanch line from La Crosse
to Cnnne!! was otlglnally built hy the
. P. about '0 years ago. After it
was operated a few years it was aban
doned and subsequently passed Into
the li;'in!s of the O. R. & N.
When that road finally concluded
to renew operations over this branch
it va discovered lli.it all the tics for
a distance of nearly 30 miles had been
dug out by the settlers and used for
fuel and fence posts. The rails were
stll! st'.ewn along the right of way
but net n single tie could be found.
No verv serious effort was made by
the railroad to punish the settlers. In
fact the company seemed rather glad
to know that the rails and right of
way were not taken also and the
rond was rebuilt and Is now In operation.

Famous Resort Now Out of

Down, by Council's Order.
PROPRIETOR NEGLECTS
TO DEFEND IN PERSON.
Council Heard Much Evidence, Prac
tically All of Which, Was Adverse
to the Idle Hour Marshal Gurdane
and Officer Waters Put the In
structions of the Council Into Im
mediate Execution Gas Company
Asked for and Rocerved an Exten
sion of Time on Their Work.
The Idle Hour, as conducted by
Will Wells, Is now a thing of the
past, for the doors of the Joint ore
locked and the proprietor Is without
a license. The latter was revoked at
the council meeting last night after
the city fathers had listened for a
half hour or more to evidence as to
the character of the place.
As soon as the routine business of
the council had been disposed of last
night the question of revoking the
Idle Hour's license was taken. Dis
trict Attorney Phelps appeared In the
role of city counsel In the absence of
City Attorney McCourt. As Wells
was not present In the room, al
though he knew his case was to be
considered, the marshal was directed
to again notify him of the meeting.
He did so but the saloon man sent
back word that he would not appear.
Council as Jury.
With the council In a seml-Judlcia!
capacity the Investigation then pro
ceeded. Marshal Gurdane and Offi
cer Hi Waters were both examined at
length as to the character of the
Idle Hour from a police standpoint
They told how robbery after robbery
had been reported from the place;
that It was the hangout for a disor
derly crowd; that the rooms above,
which are run In connection, are like
wise Used by hard citizens, frequently
by women of the tenderloin.
Following the officers, young;
Short, 'who works on the Cheney
dairy, was called and repeated his
story of having been robbed in a rear
room of the saloon by the prize
fighter, Riley, who is now In the
county Jail for the offense. It was
a very direct story of a brutal holdup
and the things told by Short all point
ed to collusion between tho saloon
men and the robber, though none of
the former participated in the rob
bing. When young Short had finished
the mayor asked if any one present
appeared In behalf of Wells. In re
ply Adolph Swnrtz, the Walla Walla
brewer, said he was not authorized to
speak for the saloon, but neverthe
less he desired to call attention to
the fact that all the troubles reported
were either behind or overhead the
saloon, whereas It was proposed to
revoke the license of the saloon.
However. Mayor Fee Immediately
pointed out that the rohbery of Short
had actually oecured within the sa
loon nnd thereupon the defender
subsided.
Voted In Secret.
It was then decided that the coun
cil go into secret session for action
upon the matter. It did so, and with
in three minutes a motion was made
and carried that tho license of Wells
be revoked, the same to take effect
Immediately. The council then ad
journed. Closed by Marshal.
In accordance with Instructions
given Marshal Gurdane and Officer
Waters went at once to the Idle Hour,
notified Wells that his license was
revoked and ordered him to close the
place, both upstairs and down; at
once. At the time the place was
crowded with a variegated assemblage
which had to be dispersed. This was
done at once, however, nnd within a
few minutes the doors were locked.
Gas Supply Deferred.
At the regular session of the coun
cil considerable routine business was
transacted, but the only thing of gen
eral Interest was a motion by Coun
cilman Thompson that the request of
the gas company for an extension of
time be granted. The motion was
carried unanimously.
