At the Walla Wallu council meet ing last night Mayor Tauslck return ed the franchise ordinance with his veto and In a message set forth his reason for disapproving of the meas ure. Ills act apparently means that the franchise will not be granted as the council will not pass it over the objection of the mayor. Already Had IVanclilse. But that the refusal of the mayor to approve the franchise will have ren'ly no effect whatever upon the proposed luterurbun line was declar ed over the phone this morning by Gilbert Hunt. According to Mr. Hunt the company already held a franchise for Walla Walla and tho refusal of th council to grant the perilling one does not shut them out -f "the city. The members of the company re gard the original franchise as unsat isfactory In some respects and asked for another more favorable to them. That the mayor would veto the fran chise ordinance was anticipated by( tho members of the company and so they were not surprised at his action lart night. Xv After Money. Regarding the lnterurban road Mr. Hunt wild that up to the present time no definite time has been set for the beginning of construction work, but that the preliminary work Is moving along satisfactorily. The project Is now up to tho eastern men who ore to back it and a soon ns It has been financed work will be undertaken. Mr. Hunt says that the money for the road will be forthcoming and that the people of Pendleton will not re gret the Tctlon of the council In vot ing the road a franchise. Reasons for Veto. In his veto message the Walla Wal la mayor set forth five reasons why the new franchise should not be granted. His first objection was that the company would be allowed to hold Its right to use the streets for 25 years after building, but a single mile of tract In the city. Secondly he objected because the proposed franchise granted the com pany the right to build two parallel tracks on each street, thereby mak ing It possible to have four tracks on some streets. His third objection was to the fea ture concerning fares and transfers within the city. His fourth objection was that file franchise did not properly secure the city and save It harmless n cases of accidents. The fifth objection was that under the franchise the mayor of the city could grant the company the right to operate freight cars through the city In the day time. He held the power should rest with the council. Seattle, Sept. 16.

There was an element of violence in front of the United States land office yesterday morning when the doors were open ed for filing on a section of land In Wallowa county, for which a score or more of people for days waited patiently on the sidewalks to make filing. During the day over 40 filings were made. Tho first Intimation of violence took place when a group of people from Wallowa county formed an opposition line. There Is an ordinance, the wording of which Is Immaterial, but tho purpose of which Is to keep loaf ers off the streets after 2 o'clock a. m., which was enforced when police men broke up the second line, the members of it having not procured a permit from the mayor to remain In lino over night. Unquestionably there were men among the new crowd that are bona fide squatters, and contest cases will be the order of the day from now on. v..

Walla Walla. Sept. 16. Rev. An dieas Bard, for 10 years rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church In this city, filed his resignation with the vestry last night, the date of Its taking ef fect being October 1, if possible, and not later than October 15. Reasons given in the resignation are that he has been In Walla Walla 10 years, that he has built the church and school here, and that his work Is completed, and that he desires to go to a larger field. Rev. Andreas Bard, with his wife and daughter, will first go to Germa ny and will stop for a while at Schwerln, Germany, where Mr. Bard's father, the lit. Rev. Taul Bard, bishop of Northern Germany, is now station ed. Later he will attend Heidelberg university to take a course of lec tures, and In the spring Rev.

The man escaped the j officers, made his way to the river! bank and plunged Into the Sacramen to river. Hampered as he wa's by his clothing, Johnson managed to swim 200 yards before he was over come and drowned. The man was a blacksmith aged 30 vears. At a meeting of the council ordi nance committee last night the dairy ordinance Introduced at the Instance of City Physician Cole was thorough ly "churned' and a few changes pro posed by Interested parties present, were made. None of them, however, effect the merits of the ordinance. and It will doubtless be passed by the council tonight. The meeting last night was held In the office of City Attorney Raley and It proved almost as large a conference as that held when the lnterurban franchise people were here. Mayor Murphy, Councilmen Knight, Strain, Mumm and Stroble and City Attor ney Raley were present In behalf of the city, while the dairy Interests were represented by Messrs. Harper, Morgan and Powers. Another Inter ested attendant was John Hailey, Jr. The most serious objection raised against the ordinance as originally drafted bv Messrs. Cole and McClure was that by its provisions It practi cally barred local householders from selling milk to their neighbors. The measure provided that no dairyman, or any party selling milk, should store milk within 200 feet of any place where manure is piled and tt required that before delivery milk be cooled to a temperature of not high er than 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Last night the ordinance was changed so that It now permits the delivery of new milk without any cooling process and the provision re garding . manure piles applies only where milk is retained for four hours or longer. If milk is not delivered within three hours' time it must be cooled. The restrictions as to the grade of milk and cream to be sold were not changed. Will Fight TulMTCtdosis. The provision requiring dairy cows to be tested for tuberculosis, by far the most Important section of the or dinance, remains as it was excepting that the council reserves the right to approve the parties whom the city physician shall select to make the tests. It Is the intention of Dr. Cole to ask Dr. McClure and his deputies to make the tests and they have al ready received permission from Washington to serve, free of cost 'to the city. The penalty for a violation of the ordinance was changed slightly. It formerly Imposed a fine of not less than J 25 nor more than $100. It now specifies that the fine shall merely not exceed $100, thus allowing the In New York city or San Francisco, in both of which cities he has been I recorder to impose a fine of less than offered churches. When he is settled!5-5 sliuld he see fit to do so. his family will join him. While in Germany Rev. Mr. Bard will confer with dramatists regarding the staging of his play, "Giafar," a production in blank verse which was published last year. To make a stage production more characters will be introduced and the play made longer. The conference last night lasted un til 11 o'clock. OAKLAND TO HAVE FIRST MARATHON RACE.

Phillip Stokes, millionaire social ist speaker, arrived on the afternoon train from the east and he Is now the guest of Pendletonlans who believe In that party. ' Tonight he will speak at the court house and the meeting will commence at 7:30. "I will discuss the fundamental principles of socialism and" will en deavor to show that Its teachings are but right and reasonable," said Mr. Stokes to the East Oregonlan, soon after his arrival. "I hope to be able to remove some of the apprehension that exists regarding our party. I have found thnt the public Is now much more ready to listen to socialists than they were four years ago and have found that our clubs are four times as strong as they were in the last cam paign. If we do not poll a much heavier vote than in 904 I will be very much surprised. In personal appearance the social ist speaker Is tall and thin and he does not look particularly like a mil lionaire.
