Fire.
FIFTY PEOPLE ESCAPE
FROM HOl'SE IN SAFETY
the plant today. There wag evidence
of a fearful struggle all through the
basement nnd out to where the body
was found.
Two pieces of pipe, each two feet
long, and one covered with hair and
blood, show the manner In which the
crime was committed. A cut on
Hange's head shows a knife wag also
used.
His pockets were turned wrong
side out. The wounds on the head In
dicate the murderers pounded the
head sometime after the victim fell
for the last time.

Will Trites Huh Narrow Etcapo
MoHtly Women and Children In the
Building.
In a fire that might have been
much more serious than it was, the
Pastime picture show, owned by Cass
Matlock and Jesse Sellers, was dis
mantled shortly after 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
At that hour the show was starting
on Its afternoon's performance and
Will Trltes was serving as operator.
About SO people, largely ladles and
children, were in the house. A spark
from the picture machine ignited one
of ,the celluloid films and almost be
fore the operator could grasp the sit
uation the little steel box room was
a mass of flames.
Quickly pulling the wire that low
ered the doors of the steel room
Trltes jumped out of the place Just
In time to avoid being scorched him
elf.
Meanwhile those In the audience
became frightened when the doors of
the box were closed and they all made
a hurried exit In safety.
Damage to the extent of $400 or
$500 was inflicted by the fire. The
picture machine Itself was valued at
1176, a graphaphone at $50, while
two reels of films burned are said
to have been worth $300.
Steel Box Useful.
Had the picture machine not been
enclosed in a steel room, as required
by the city council and fire depart
ment, there would likely have been
bad fire at the Pastime. Owing to
the rapidity with which the film be
came Ignited it is probable the entire
front of the show shop would have
been ablaze before the people could
escape had the steel box not saved
the day.
In the opinion of Fire Chief John
Vaughan there would have been some
lives lost had it not been for the
steel box and it is safe to say the
rules regarding the housing of pic
ture machines will be closely observ
ed hereafter.
All of the picture shows have their
machines Inclosed In steel rooms and
consequently there is little danger
from fires because the boxes will hold
a blase long enough for the people to
scape.

The complaint recites that the ter

San Francisco Is a discrimination
against that city in favor of Portland,

leave Jefferson for Ashevllle. Prior
to this a number of union miners
had made overtures to the strike
breakers to Join their ranks, threat
ening at the same time to kill them
In case they attempted to work the
mines for the operators. In this
emergency deputies attempted to
have the train run out of Jefferson
under fire if necessary. An open
switch, however, brought the engine
to a stop and In this predicament the
deputies and strikebreakers were
fired upon.

San Francisco, July 18. Southern
Pacific, Santa Fe and Pacific Mail
Steamship companies are preparing
to have a hearing before the Inter
state commerce commission on the
question of transcontinental rates for
goods shipped over the Pacific ocean.
The commission's rules compel the
railroads to charge the same price
for these goods as for others, where
as It has been customary for roads
to make a cheaper rate to the steam
ship companies. The plea Is to be
made to the commission that the
steamers traveling through the Suez
canal will get the trade If the trans
continental roads are not allowed to
Juggle with the rates as they please.

boasts of a lead of 22 points over
America In the Olympic games, but
the American athletes are not dls
heartened and declare that If they are
given fair treatment they will be able
to take the championship home.
The loss of the tug of war yester

A. C. Pierce, former section fore
man for the O. R. A N. company at
Umatilla, now languishes In the
county Jail charged with having pad
ded his payroll and thereby buncoed
the railroad people out of various
sums of money.
Pierce was arrested at Umatilla
yesterday by E. B. Wood, O. R. & N.
detective. He was brought here on
the evening train and when brought
before Judge Gllllland, the only mag
istrate In the city then, his ball was
set at $250. This morning Pierce
aived preliminary examination and
he will now be held for the grand
Jury.
To Detective Wood and to the O. R.
N. paymaster Pierce admitted his
ullt yesterday and If he could be
arraigned at once he would doubtless
plead guilty. But under the provis
ions of the grand Jury law now In
force he cannot be Indicted except by
grand Jury and consequently he
must wait until September before he
can plead.
Worked Old-Time Gume.
The scheme worked by Pierce was
a familiar one In this country years
ago, but It evidently does not oper
ate as successfully now as In the
palmy days of old. Under the scheme
the foreman had fictitious names up
on his roll and by working some of
his Greeks to draw the checks he
drew down the money for himself.
The particular charge against
Pierce Is that he buncoed the com
pany by claiming that a George Ha
nls was one of his crew when such
a man does not exist or If he does Is
not upon the Umatilla section gang.
A Greek was Induced to sign for Ha
nls' pay.

(Continued on Page 6.)
Now that the campaign against tu
bercular cows has been started there
is good possibility that at last Pen
dleton will obtain a thorough, far
reaching ordinance for the protection
of the town's food supply.
At the last meeting of the council
the task of drawing an ordinance reg
ulating dairies was left with City At
torney J. R. Raley, Dr. W. G. Cola
and S. W. McClure. Up to this tlma
the ordinance has not been drafted,
but the subject is being given muck
attention and it will be presented la
due time.
Aside from barring dairy cows hav
ing tuberculosis it Is now proposed t
further protect the milk supply of tba'
city by prescribing certain sanitary
measures for the dairymen. At pres
ent no cream may be had of the lo
cal dairies and patrons asking for
the same are told by the dalryme
that the cream sours on them.
i Milk Shouldn't Sour.
According to Dr. McClure ana
other authorities neither cream nor
ordinary milk ehould sour If the milk
cans are properly scalded and care
for. Likewise it ia held, that dairy
men should not leave their own milk
bottles or cans at houses where ty
phoid, scarlet fever or other Infec
tious diseases prevail, for there la na
better media than milk for the trans
mission of disease germs.
It is also probable that the ordi
nance will have something to say re
garding the sanitary condition of 'he
barns or corrals In which dairy cowa
are milked.
Then the methods of the man who
does the milking is also said to be of
vast Importance for if he does not
have a proper Idea of cleanliness the
dairy's patrons suffer. According to
the doctors, milk Is not frt for use If
when lert standing a dirt sediment
forms at the bottom of the battle.
Taboo for "Ueax" Milk.
Furthermore the quality f the
milk sold may be regulated, as is now
done in nearly all progressive citiea
At Present a dairyman may sell
skimmed milk for milk if he wishes
to and his patrons will stand for suoa
treatment. In many places milk sold
by dairies is required to measure up
to a certain standard, under the Bab-
cock test, and the forthcoming ordi
nance may have a provision to this
effect.
Since the agitation for the regula
tion of the dairies was started a short
time ago the public has become much
Interested in the subject and there
Is now a widespread demand for the
matter to be sifted to the bottom.
Many have been heard to declare that
If any of the local dairy cows have tu
berculosis the fact should be discov
ered. It is held that the children of
the city should not be fed upon milk
from afflicted cows and in the work
of enforcing the ordinance, when It
has been passed, the authorities will
be fully sustained by the public.

LA DOW GETS NEW RECTORY CUTDICJ
A beautiful nine-room cottage cost
ing $3200, and equipped with every
modern convenience, will grace the
site of the old rectory of the Church
of the Redeemer at the corner of Al
ta and Johnson streets.
At a meeting of the vestry of the
church last evening Contractor G. I.
Ln Dow was awarded the contract for
erecting the new rectory and this
morning the work of excavating for
the basement was started.
For the past two months the work
of raising funds for the new rectory
has been In progress In charge of a
special committee and the beginning
of the work Is highly satisfactory to
the congregation. It Is expected that
the new rectory will be completed
and ready for occupancy by Septem
ber 16, perhaps.
The cottage will be built on the
style of the Church of the Redeemer,
which is one of the most artistic
buildings in eastern Oregon. The
basement and foundation wall will be
of moss covered stone and will extend
about four feet above the ground. A
portion of the lower story will then
be shingled and the roof will be Ip
keeping with the church building and
when completed it will be one of the
neatest and most attractive In the
city and the Church of the Redeem
er will be Justly proud of it.
The building will be two full stories
and a basement nnd will be equipped
with every modern convenience and
will be provided with a room for the
parish aid society In addition .to Its
excellent accommodations for living
purposes.
The old parish house, which now
stands near the church, win be sold
and moved off the ground and the
church and rectory property will be
put ln good condition when the new
building Is complete. While work on
the new rectory is in progress Rev.
Charles Qulnncy and family will oc
cupy the old rectory on the corner
of Alta and Thompson streets.
