Akiricli Calls Regulars Together to
Agree on Stand to Take Says They
Must right to Save Taft Policies
From Defeat.
Washington, D. C. May 6. The
regulars today refrained from further
effort to pass the rate bill. They are
waiting until President Taft returns
from his western trip so he ca.i ex
amine the wreckage of the railroad
bill and decide what action for the
leaders to take. Indications are that
there will be some hot sessions be
tween Taft and the senate leaders
when they meet. One veteran said
he would tell the president he had
no business traveling around when
Important bills were threatened.
Through the formation yesterday of
an organization which Its leaders
claim represents a clear majority of
the entire senate and to be made up
wholly of regular republicans, a move
ment was started to settle whether the
senate shall remain conservative, be
come radical, or be thrown into po
litical chaos as fur as concerns any
coherent policy on the administration
program.
Senator Aldrlch called the regular
republicans together and confronted
them with a grim description of the
possible political effect of their ap
parent defeat at the hands of the in
surgent republicans and democrats In
the fight over the traffic agreement
section of the administration railroad
bill. He asked his associates wheth
er they were ready to submit to dom
ination by such a combination. Any
uch surrender, he warned them,
meant failure of the Taft policies and
the downfall of the conservative con
trol, not only In congress but In the
republican party generally.
Some one reminded Senator Aid
rich that senators then gathered to
gether were not In agreement on all
points, whereupon he replied they
must get together and agree to stand
together and let the details be sec
ondary. Otherwise, he said, congress
would adjourn without accomplishing
a single Item of the Taft program.
The entire tone of this conference
was belligerent toward the Insurgents.
This was the dominant note: "Let us
get together and stand ns a un.t
against every insurgent proposition.
If the Insurgents propose anything
good, we'll take it over bodily and
put it through as our own; If they
propose anything bad, we'll stamp It
out"

UXDERGRARS CAUGHT
IN A THEATER HOAX
London. Cambridge Is laughing at
the latest undergraduate hoax. in
which two members of Magdalene
College dressed as women attempted
to attend a performance at the New
theater of the musical comedy, "Dear
Little Denmark"
It Is a strict rule of tho theater
management that undergraduates may
not purchase tickets for stage boxes
unless accompanied by ladies or some
other satisfactory chaperone. On this
particular day tickets for a party of
five in n box were purchased In the
name of a well known Cambridge res
ident. Just after the performance
commenced two "ladies," accompan
ied by threo undergraduates, drove
up to the theater In taxlcabs.
The women were dressed In white
silk with richly embroidered cloaks,
over their crisply curling tresses whfte
lace theater wraps were dra,wn and
bunched up loosely at the throat.
Their skirts, daintily held clear of
the ground by white-gloved fingers,
revealed glistening high-heeled patent
leather shoes and the slim lines of
neat nnkles and shapely insteps, veiled
with black silk open-work stockings.
All had gone well so far. The dis
guise was perfect. In the vestibule
the manager of the theater, Mr. Bed
fern, had been passed within a few
feet. It was only by accident as the
ladles were ascending the staircase
that the hoax was discovered. Mr.
Bedfern, who happened to be follow
ing In the rear of the party, heard
one -Of the ladies, as she 'tripped on
her skirt, give vent to a' short, sharp
exclamation of annoyance in one
syllable.
"Her" voice was an unmistakable
bass voice. The manager stepped In
front of the party at the top of the
stairs and declined to allow them to
enter the box. Tho "ladies." turning
In retreat, tok the stairs with very
mannish strides two a a time and
dashed out of tho theater.

Kit PIONEER OF 2 SAYS BIG
TAXPAYERS DO NOT WANT THE COUNTY DIVIDED
The following letter which was received by the East Oregonlan this
morning Indicutes that the sentiment fir county division is not unani
mous. mining even the people of Milton and Freewater.
v Freewater, Oregon, May 3. 1910.
E. O. Publishing Co.,
Pendleton, Oregon-.
Gentlemen: I see that there Is another move on foot by the Old
Sore head politicians of this end of Umatilla county to divide the county.
They are holding meetings mid telling the people the advantages of hav
ing Milton as the county seat, but don't say anything of the increase of
taxes that would be Imposed on the people who are already groaning
under heavy taxes by the inflating of land values. This will be the
fourth attempt to split the county. I don't know one heavy taxpayer
that is in favor of It, but all real estate men and townsite grafters are. I
am one of the men that voted in this county in '62.

Oregon's Senior Senator Creates Stir
By Sensational Charges in Senate
Says High Government Official,
lYesuinubly Omisby Mcltarg, Had
Attempted to Defeat (linmbcrlain
By Ottering Federal Offices for
Votes.
Washington, May 5. Senator
Hou-ne of Oregon, in the senate to
day charged that a former high gov
ernment official had tried to tamper
with the Oregon legislature by trading
federal offices for voles. "Efforts
were made," said Senator Bourne, "to
dishonor the state and her public
servants. During the session of the
legislature a former government offi
cial and an assistant of the chairman
of the republican central committee
(Hitchcock, present postmaster gen
eral) appeared and promised federal
appointments to legislators who would
disregard their pledges."
Bourne previously had spoken about
the success of popular government in
Oregon, saying the real test came
when u republican legislature elected
a democrat. Chamberlain, to the sen
ate because they were pledged.
DR. HYDE'S DEFENSE.
.1. W. Smngler Testifies ns to Colon
el Suite's Private Life.
Kansas City, May 6. Dr. Hyde's
defense was begun today by the in
troduction of evidence regarding the
character pf the actions of Colonel
Swope. J. W. Spongier, Swope's con
fidential man, testified that Swope
drank to excess during the 11 months
before his death.
Spangler said the colonel was puz
zled as to how he could fix his es
tate so his benefactions would not be
eaten up by a "bunch of politicians
or looted by reputable business men,
as he wanted the money to go to the
poor and not to be stopped in any
way." Dr. F. W. Croedllng, expert
toxlcologist testified regarding vari
ous diseases Swope could have died
with, tho symptoms of which are
similar to those he displayed, and still
leave no trace after death."
Even Chicago is thinking of abol
ishing the dance halls.
WDQLGRDWERS
SELL AT
Though woolbuyerg have been
flocking to Pendleton and other east
ern Oregon points for several weeks
none of this season's clips has so far
been sold, so far as can bo ascertain
ed. Growers are apparently of the
opinion that strong Influences are at
work to keep the price lower than ac
tual conditions Justify and they are
therefore showing a disposition to hold
unrll sales day. Last year there were
no sales days for the reason that all
the wool was disposed of at satisfac
tory prices before tho tlniM 'or the
sales arrived.
It Is said that last year's activity on
the part of the buyers was due to an
effort to break the Chicago Storage
Wool Warehouse plan. This failed,
however, If there ever really was any
stich scheme on foot and growers
are displaying more Independence this
year than ever before.

growers of wool In the state of Idaho,
and also a prominent Chicago com
mission merchant, Is quoted In a Chi

Christiana, May 5. Colonel Roose
velt J-l King Haakon have made
hits with each other. They like each
other so well that court tnrmaities
have been done away with and the
palace party is like a gay week-end.
Roosevelt spends much of his time
playing in the nursery with Prince
Olaf, who is a spoiled child. It is a
holiday throughout the country to
day in honor of Roosevelt, who
lunched at the American embassy this
afternoon and delivered his speech on
"International Peace" before the No

theater.
Plans for Berlin Visit.
Berlin, May 5. The leading fea
tures of the program for the Roose
velt visit to Berlin have been arrang
ed as follows:
The former president will arrive at
n o'clock in the morning of May 10,
In a special car. He will be greeted
at the station by Emperor and will
be taken to Potsdamex to ranch with
the kaiser and meet the members of
the roal family. In the afternoon
Mr. Roosevelt will confer with the
kaiser and receive the city officials,
who will call at the palace to welcome
him. In the evening he will attend
a dinner witll leading German offi
cials in one of the smaller saloons
of the palace. On the morning of
May 11, he w ill either inspect the mu
nicipal institution or attend a review
on one of the parade grounds of the
city. He will have luncheon at the
palace In the afternoon and will then
devote some time to sight seeing,
dosing the day with a dinner at the
residence of Ambassador Hill, which
will be attended by the kaiser.
Whatever our present rank In cre
ation, we may look forward with de
light to the solution of untold mys
teries and the certain exercise of un
Imagined powers.
REFUSE TO
CURRENT PRICES
cago wool paper as offering the fol
lowing advice to growers: -
"Growers should carefully consider
foreign wool market conditions before
accepting lower prices for their crops,"
said A. J. Knollln. "Foreign markets
nre active at the highest prices of the
year ond home market conditions are
not warranted except through causes
entirely due to domestic influences.
Certainly the new clip will not exceed
consumptive demands as we will be
compelled to import wool for a num
ber of years to come. Strike threats
and rumors of tariff revision may
have been depressing influences and
there are doubtless many who are
honest in the belief that prices of
woolen goods in this country are too
high to the consumer. My advice is
to store wool and not make conces
sions to the dealer that are of sacrifi
cial nature. It Is going to be a long
drawn struggle between buyer and
producer this year and dealers show
a decided disposition to clean up old
stocks before starting out
FIR STEAMER OF SEASON

DREYFUS. ALIVE. RECALLED
IVY MtE. ZOLAS SUIT
Paris. Madame Emile Zola, wid
ow of the late novelist, has Just in
stigated a lawsuit which reminds Pa
risians that Major Dreyfus is still
alive. Although he lives on the Bou
levard Malesherbes in the heart of
Paris, this man who almost dismem
bered France might as well be dead
for nil the interest he now Inspires.
Some patriotic and impressionable
Italians, moved to admiration by Zo
1ns' marvelous letter "J 'Accuse,"
made the novelist a present of a stat
ue in bronze. This statue represented
Dreyfus chained to a rock. Madame
Zola presented the statue to the man
ager of a company which undertakes
to provide healthy tenements for the
very poorest class of French unfor
tunates. She desired the statue to be
erected in the center of the garden
where the poor might gaze upon the
work of art and call to mind the mem
ory of the dead novelist who wrote
so much about the working man.
The manager of the company, how
ever, sold the precious relic to a Junk
shop for sixty dollars. Now Madame
Zoia claims two thousand dollars
damages.
Lobster Boats Armed.
Paris. Piracy still flourishes along
the north African coast, and has late

crews of the lobster boats fishing In
Algerian waters have accordingly
been armed to enable them to resist
the Moorish buccaneers. Each boat
now carries eight rifles and the neces
sary ammunition, supplied by the na
val authorities at Brest on Instruction
from the under secretary of the navy.
