Father Thomas E. Sherman, of the Jesuit order, son of General William T. Sherman, who commanded the fa mous "march to the sea," during the civil war, arrived in the city this morning from Portland and Is now the guest of Father Neate at the Catholic rectory on Market street. While Father Sherman Is a living picture of the famous general, his father, yet he is a typical, strenuous American of the 20th century and were It not for the peculiar dress of the priesthood, would easily be mis taken for an aggressive business or professional man of any modern American city. But closer acquaintance discloses the deep thinker, the cultured schol ar, the .dignified sternness of the re ligious discipline to which he has sub jected his mind and demeanor for the past quarter of a century. Father Sherman' Is a native of Cali fornia, having been born In the Gol den state In 1866, while his father was In the banking business there. He received a thorough education at Tale from which Institution he gradu ated in 1876. In 178 he entered the Jesuit or der In England, after having receiv ed special training for his life work In England, France and the United States.

Comln from a military stock, the military features of the order of Jesu its strongly attracted him, and with the combination of his mother's strong religious tendencies, and his father's military splrt to Influence him, it was natural for him to Join this order which had been founded by a general and had as Its foundation rigid religious discipline. Will Lecture All Week. Father Sherman will lecture all next week at St. Mary's Catholic church and cordially invites all to at tend his lectures. He has condensed Into one series of six lectures a much larger course and the subjects are In tended to attract believers and non believers alike. "My object In lecturing." said Fath er Sherman to the East Oregonlan. "is, first, to combat the growing agnosti cism, the Increasing Infidelity, the spreading disbelief of this commercial and material age. First, we must lay a broad and deep foundation of re ligion and establish the fact that there Is a living, personal and all wise God, then after bringing men and women to accept this foundation, we enn go Into the various features of religion which appeal to thinking people." The lectures will begin tomorrow evening nt 8 o'clock and will continue during the week, at St. Mary's Catho lic church on Market street.

For Several Days Only Passenger En gines Were Coaled at La Granite Situation Is Somewhat Relieved, novtever, at Present, as the Wyom ing Miners Are Resuming Work Strike Was for Recognition. On account of the Btrike of the coal miners ut the Union Pacific mines at Rock Springs, Wyo., freight traffic on the O. R. & N. has been seriously In terfered with during the past week and for two or three days nothing but passenger engines were coaled In La Grande. However, a new supply of coal has been received and traffic has been re sumed and It Is probable that there will be no further Interference. A number of freight crews were also held at Umatilla yesterday on account of the coal shortage and for a time It looked as though a serious tie-up of traffic would be experienced. As the miners have resumed work It Is now thought that a sufficient supply will be received to keep all the engines In coal. The strike In the Union Pnclflc mines at Rock Springs was caused by the demand of the miners for a rec ognition of the'r union which was re fused by the company. For several days coal was shipped west from Ne braska and from storage yards nt Cheyenne to relieve the shortage caused by the strike. It Is said that the Union Pacific formally recognized the miners' union and Rock Springs Is once more a union town for the first t'me since 1886, when, the miners' union was broken up there after It had driven the Chinese miners out of the camp. Since that time the Union Pacific mines have been worked largely by Chinese. Italians and negroes, who hnve not been organized until this summer. ENDORSE THE TELEGRAPHERS.

Under the ordinance the speed limit for an auto !s eight miles per hour. That is a slow pace for an auto, and In reality the limit Is never observed by an autoirt even in the heart of the busi ness section. With the Inorease In the number' of uutos the danger from speed ordi nance violation has Increased, and the danger of accidents has become common talk. By many It Is feared that some day a serious accident will orctir.

Henry Lutourelle, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. H, G. Latourelle, living at 813 Mill street, was badly burned and knocked unconscious by a shock from an electric wire yesterday af ternoon. He was burned upon both hands and under the chin and for some time hJs parents feared he was dead. However, today he Is better and apparently there will be no bad effects excepting from the burns. When he received the shock th6 little fi-llow was playing on top of a woodpile back of C. H. Carter's resi dence. Two uninsulated electric wires were within reach, and appar ently he took hold of both wires at once and caught his chin over one of them. He was knocked uncon scious by the shock and still clung to the wires. His little sister who was near him, attempted to pull him off but could not do so until she hit the wires with a stick, when he let go. The boy was carried Into the house and Dr. C J. Smith was sum moned by the frightened parents. After some little time the boy re covered consciousness, but was con siderably pained by the burns on his hands and neck. It Is said the several boys living In the vicinity of the Latourelle home have been playing with the uncover ed electric wires. However, until the mishap yesterday, none of them re reived a gevere enough shock to hurt them any. Py taking hold of both wires with each hand the little La tninelle boy formed a circuit and presumably received the full charge from thf. wires. The wires from which the boy re ceived the sh:ek were part of the Northwestern Gas & Electric com pany's system and they were stretch ed lust over the woodpile and shed between the Carter residence and that of Dr. Sommervllle. The boy and his little sister had climbed upon the woodpile to reach the wires. To Attend Land Convention, Judge S. A. Lowell this afternoon recived a message from Portland saying that Malcolm A.

BOY SHOCKED BAIL IS DENIED MAYOR SRMIIZ Argued $340,000 Live Bond Entitles Schmitz to Liberty on a Bail Bond. .ll"DGE REMANDED SCHMITZ TO THE SHERIFF AND TO JAIL State's Attorney Showed Fallacy of the Claim the City Woilld be With out a Mayor Should Schmitt be Jailed Judge Called the Sheriff Down About Allowing Schmitx Un warranted Privileges Pheian Says the Entire Country Has Learned a Lesson. , . San Francisco, June 16. Schmltz'S application for ball was denied thla morning by Judge Dunne, after listen ing to the reading of affidavits filed both by Campbell and the state. Campbell contended In his address' following the reading of the affida vits that the mere verdict of the Jury is In no sense a final Judgment, and that the mayor's bond for $340,000 la still good and In effect until final steps are taken and judgment entered. He declared the district attorney's af--fldavlt practically asked Dunne to de pose the mayor and leave the city" without an executive. Langdon, on the other hand, denied' that any administrative matters are' pending requiring the personal atten--tlon of the mayor. He quoted that clause of the charter providing for ths appointment of an acting mayor, when the active mayor Is unable to personally attend to his duties. All that is necessary, he declared, was for the supervisors to meet and select an acting mayor. Dunne said the fact that the prison er Is mayor had no particular effect on his mind. He would treat him the same as other prisoners, and denied the application and ordered the sher iff to perform his full duty. Judge Dunne then called the sher iff before him and lectured him about the liberty given the mayor since his conviction The sheriff said he would give Schmlts no liberty not In accord ance with law.
