Kansas City, Nov. 27. "When Sen
ators Cummins, LaFolIette, Brlstow
and their so-called 'progressive' fol
lowing Join hands with Mr. Bryan In
making war upon republican members
of congress who passed the tariff bill
and upon the president, who signed
It. in that contest I know of only one
way to treat them and that is, to
fight them Just as we fought Mr.
Bryan and his following." ,
Such was the declaration of Speak
er Cannon, who delivered the- princi
pal address before the annual banquet
of the Knife and Fork club here hurt
night. Mr. Cannon said Senator
Cummins alone had read himself out
of the republican party. He defend
ed the rules of the house, saying they
would remain substantially as they
had been, anil are, so long as there
was a congress.
Minority Always righting.
"Ever since history began," said
the speaker, "the man In the minor
ity has been seeking some device
by which he could overcome the will
of the majority."
Mr. Cannon asserted that, while the
Payne tariff law was not perfect, it
was the best ever pased under repub
lican leadership; that, since the en
actment In this country and Imports
had greatly Increased, and that day
by day conditions were Improving
Tho "Insurgents" and their follow
ers, he said, were seeking to hinder
the progis of prosperity by criti
cism anil denunciation, and that this,
too, within three months, of the pas
sage of the tariff, only such agitation
could halt the prospective era of pros
perity, he declared.
"The demagogue," said Mr. Cannon,
"we have always with us and as ours
Is a government of the people, the
only way to dispose of him Is to move
on. I am perfectly willing to trust the
verdict of a prosperous and happy
people In the elections 11. AJovemher,
1910, after the new tariff law has
been In operation for more than a
year."
Cannon fatsos Ills Temper.
At the conclusion of his prepnred
speech. Speaker Cannon Indulged In
some extemporaneous remarks In
which he became vehement In his ob
jection to the attitude of a local pa
per toward him. He quoted the pa
per ijs stating today that "Speaker
Cannon realized that his popularity
Is on the wane," and declared in re
sponse to that statement that In all
his long life bo had never turned his
back upon n friend, nor his face away
from an enemy.
"Will you print that?" he yelled
towards the press table, and added,
"I am sorry the editor of the paper
l. nrtt here to answer me himself."
Speaker Cannon deplored whaj he
explained as the custom of some
newspapers to mislead their readers
ty an Ingenious arrangement of head
lines and intimated that the support of
newspapers was not always necessary
for the success of a man In public life.
He cited recent elections In the Sixth
congressional district, where, he said,
the successful candidate was opposed
by leading papers of Chicago.
Ridiculing the charge that the
Payne tariff law was enacted for the
benefit of Now England Interests, the
speaker cited numerous statistics to
Fiipport his declaration that products
of New England manufacturers had

Ned Orleans, Nov. 27. Dispatches

Tillamook. Ore, Nov. J7. The
stranding of the steamer Argo, from
Astoria' to Tillamook, late yesterday
was the Indirect cause of the loss of
three lives. Two were passengers of
the Argo and the third was a mem
ber of the Garibaldi Beach life sav
ing station. The Argo drifted off the
bar last night and Is anchored off the
bay.
The dead:
Leona Hunter, aged 6. Niild of
George Hunter, Napa, Cal.
Henry Wlckman, member of the
life saving crew. - -
Unknown woman.
Rescued :
Agnes Hunter, child of George
Hunter.
M,rs. W. C. King, Tillamook.
Sunnier Driven Out of Channel.
A high wind and heavy sea drove
the Argo out of the narrow channel
as thv steamer was attempting to
cross into Tillamook bay. She struck
on th(. south pit. but In a short time
ni.uiHKer to worn her way off. A few
moments later the Argo struck again.
This time on the bar proper. Here
she hung. Distress signals were dis
played iind the Garibaldi Reach life
saving erw put out in a lifeboat and
mine to the Argo's relief.
Into the life boat wore loaded Mrs.
W. C. King, who w ith her husband was
returning home from the east, two
children of George Hunter, of Tilla
mook, who were returning from a visit
at Astoria, and a woman who has not
been Identified and several other per
sons. The lifeboat was unable to car
ry them all and had to return to the
Argo all but four two women and
two children. The strong ebb-tide
prevented the lifeboat crossing the bai
and Captain Farley of the life saving
crew attempted to make a landing on
the beach Just north of Haystack
Bock. Owing to the heavy surface,
the boat overturned In the breakers,
plunging the passengers and life crew
into the surf. Mis. King managed to
make her way to the -sh'ore in safety,
i.e.m.i Hunter aged 11, floated toward
the shore and was caught by George
Eastman of the life saving crew. The
child was so nearly drowned that It
required several hours to resuscitate
her. Henry Wlckman, Nellie Hunter,
aged six, and the unidentified woman
were swept to sea and drowned.
.lust before dark, aided by her sails
and driven by an off shore wind and
a terrific ebb tide, the Argo freed her
self from the bar and Is now anchor
ed in safety just outside the bay. Her
engines, however are full of water and
she is unable to enter the bav under
her own power. The gasoline schoon.
er Oshkosh will make an effort to
hr.ng the Argo inside at high tide.

Traction Enterprise.
It has also been the intention to
discuss the proposition of the Wash
ington & Oregon company's traction
enterprise. However, it now appears
that ill s subject may have to be de
ferred until later. Last evening the
local committee held a conference
with Mr. FitzGerald and the com
pany's proposition was discussed to
considerable extent. However. no
satisfactory agreement was reached
at tint time. Another meeting of the
committee will be held nt 5 o'clock
this evening and later the committee
will meet again with Mr. Fit.Gerald.
In the event the committee Is unable
to report this evening a meeting will
be called for a later date.
The loss of life Is considered hero to
be due to the old fashioned pattern of
lifeboat which Is alleged to be In use
at the Garibaldi station.
Captain Farley's elbow Joint . Is
crushed and his arm will be perman
ently crippled. He and the other mem
bers of the crew are given great cred
it for their efforts.
Eleven More May Be Lost.
Tillamook, Ore., Nov. 27. A life
boat containing eleven persons, in
cluding Captain Snyder, from the
wrecked ship Argo, Is believed to have
capsized In an effort to reach the
shore. At 9 o'clock last night the
Argo showed signs of sinking and
those on board took to lifeboats. A
boat containing Mate Johnson ' and
nine others was picked up by the
steamer Oshkosh, which had been
patrolling the scene last night. The
other containing the captain tried to
make tho shore, but has not been seen
since, and It is believed if It is safe
It would have been heard from by
this time. The Argo went ashore yes
teiday and three passengers were lose
from the lifeboat while attempting to
make the shore. The Argo afterwards
floated and stood off Tillamook Bar
awaiting assistance At 9 o'clock last
night she began sinking and lifeboats

Cleveland, Nov. 27. Former Sec

of John V. Archbold. that the St.
Louis decision against the S'andnrd
Oil company proved the Sherman
anti-trust law was unsatisfactory and

He said: "The statement has been

only did so on condition that the gov

that which it exercised over railroads

Murder Mystery of Umatilla
No Nearer Solution Than
Yesterday,
LETTER FOUND IN
POCKET WAS STOLEX
Victim of Brutal Murder Wag Not
diaries Michael of Pilot Rockr Of
ficers Seek Vainly for Perpetrators
or Bastardly Deed Efforts Blade
to Identify Dead Man Futile Body
Brought to Pendleton.
A. Rabeal is the name of
the man murdered near Uma-
tilla. This fact was ascertaln
o ed this afternoon by Depuuty
Sheriff Bert Wilson, after hav-
ing spent the greater part of the
day in working on the case. He
first ascertained from Charles
Michaels that the overcoat
found buttone.l around the head
of the murdutj man and con-
taining a letter to Charles
Michaels of Pilot Rock, was left
at the Workingmen's Clothing
store last Saturday. At the
same time the murdered man
came in, bought the overalls,
overshirt, underclothes and two
pairs of socks, leaving a bundle
of old clothes to be called for
later. He came in In a hurry
and was hahded the Michaels
package by mistake. Clerk
Johnston of the store, this af-
ternoon, not only recognized the
clothes, but also the man as the
one to whom he had sold them.
Rabenl left for the west end of
the county on the night train,
last Saturday, but at what sta-
tion he alighted Is not known.
His name was on the package.
As time passes the Umatilla mur
der of last Wednesday evening is de
veloping into one of the most baffling
mysteries with which the officers of
this county have ever had to deal, as
well as one of the most brutal. It
was discovered this morning that the
name of the dead man was not
Charles Mlckels or Michaels, but that
the letter which was found in one of
the coat pockets did belong to Charles
Michaels, the well-known resident of
this county, who was married to Miss
Ethel Phafer last Wednesday after
noon, within a few hours of the time
the crime was 'evidently committed.
The letter was either lost by Mich
ael and found by the victim or the
murderer or it was stolen by one or
the other of them. The identity of
the dead man is therefore unknown
and though scores of residents of this
city and Umatilla have looked upon
his face, no one has yet been found
who ever saw him. The body is now
at the Baker & Folsom undertaking
parlors whore the general public is
invited to view it in the hopes that
some one will be found who can rec
ognize the features.
The officers are apparently no
nearer a clue to the identity of the
man or men who did the killing than
they were when they started out.
Deputy Sheriff Wilson and Coroner
Fi-lsi'iii brought the body of the man
up from Umatilla on last evening's
train, while Sher'ff Taylor made an
unsuccessful detour of the country In
an effort to find a farmer or range
'e'er who had seen some one in the
vicinity of the crime on the day it
was committed. He was absolutely
unsuccessful In finding the slightest
clue, however, and spent last night in
Hermiston. He has not been heard
from today, but it is not believed he
nas DPn any more successful. It is
probable that ho will abandon the
hunt, so far as that section of the
eouiry is concerned and return this
evening.
