since the republican national com

was made today when, after a hot
discussion and much objection, it was
finally determined to divide the Lou

leaves his men In control of the state.
Tho fight has fastened the name
of "Lilly Whites" on the Taft men
and the term "Black and Tans" on the
allies, so far as the contests In the
south are concerned.
The decision moans that Pearl
Wight, a Taft supporter, will be the
sole dispenser of federal patronage
In Louisiana.
Former Governor Warmouth of
Louisiana, Is furious at the result.
When the committee adopted the
compromise resolution he was asked
to accept It. "I will bolt the conven

no compromise that I could accept;
It Is Impossible.
Warmouth says he will never en

clips, aggregating about 300,000
pounds of wool, were sold and the
prices ranged from 9 5-8 cents to

are lower than those offered at the

of William Slusher was by far the
heaviest and aggregated 1.10,000

ACCUSED OF PASSING
WORTHLESS HANK CI I
IX'KS
Prominent Pendleton Snlooiinuiu Ar
rested on Complaint of Walla Wullu
County Officers Alleged to Have
PusNcd State Hank of Georgia Drafts
in Walla Walla and Wallulu Ar
rested Saturday by. Deputy Sheriff
IJert Wilson.
P. A. Corrlgan, owner of the Colum
bia saioon and lodging house, faces a
grave charge that has been made
against him by the authorities of
Walla Walla county. It is that of
passing "Georgia State bank", notes.
greenbacks that are no knger coin
of the realm and with which many
Oregon towns have had trouble In the
past.
Corrlgan is accused of having pass,
ed some of the worthless bills In Wal
la Walla and at Wallula. Saturday
afternoon the sheriff at Walla Walla
wired the sheriff's office here telling
them that a man had passed one of
the bills in Wallula and then had
taken the northbound Northern Paci
fic train for this city. A description
was given but the Walla Walla offi
cers did not have the name.
As the N. P. train arrived In this
city Saturday afternoon Deputy Bert
Wilson boarded It at the east end of
the city and went through the train
In search of his man. The saloonman
was the only one answering 'the de
scription and after he had left the
train ho was arrested by the reputy
sheriff. However, he kept his liberty
by giving a cash bond of $300.
The bank' notes which Corrlgan is
accused of having passed were Issued
by a state bank of Georgia which ex
isted before the war and which be- I
came defunct. In appearance the bills I
are much the same as any other j
greenback and this fact makes It easy 1
for ono to pass them upon tho unsus- '
pecting. In the past Pendleton has 1
been buncoed several times by parties'
who brought some of the sham money
here and hastily departed after hav
ing exchanged the same for good
lucre. Tho hocus bills h.-ivo nlso
been passed in Portland frequently,
and not long ago John McCourt,
United States district attorney, Issued '
a warning to the public upon the sub
ject. As the passing of bogus money Is
a federal offense, there seems some
doubt whether Corrlgan will be tried
by the state court at Walla Walla or
by the federal court of Washington.

John Bryant, county stock Inspec
tor, will make an inspection of the
horses of the county and, will order
all Infected to be dipped. Some or

able to clean their bands of mange at

there will be no objection to compli
