Pendleton Recognizes Deco
ration Day With Fitting
Observances.
ALMOST WHOLE CITY
PRESENT AT EXERCISES
Memorial Day More Generally Ob
served In City Than for Many Years
Craves of Dead aro Strewn With
Flowers Parade Leads Crowd to
OIncy Cemetery Where Tribute Is
Paid Dead Soldiers Stores Close
During Day.
Not In years has there been such
a general observance of memorial or
decoration day in Pendleton. Busi
ness houses are closed, graves have
been decorated and several hundred
citizens participated In the exercises
at the cemetery this forenoon.
Never has Olney cemetery present
ed such an appearance as It did this
morning. The grassy plots had been
cleaned of debris, the streets and
roadways nicely graded and the city
of the living had been stripped of its
garlands to decorate the resting places
of Pendleton's dead. The decorating
of the graves was started yesterday
and from early this morning until
the procession arrived at the ceme
tery, the work was continued.
May 30 was first set aside by the
government as a time for paying trib
ute to those w-ho gave up their lives
for the union during the great civil
conflict. It has long since, however,
attained a countrywide magnitude un
til almost every cemetery In the
couutry, no matter how Isolated or
forgotten during the remainder of the
year, has been visited by some per
sons and tribute paid to the one hav
ing his or her resting place there.
Though the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic hold the center
of the stage on this occasion, the
graves of the departed veterans are

some departed friend or relative
some with floral displays costing hun
dreds, even thousands of dollars
while others have been remembered
perhaps only by children who have
picked wild flowers In the open fields.
In Pendleton the day has been ob
served In much the same manner as
on former occasions, only more gen
era'ly. The annual memorial ser
mon was preached at the First Bap
tist church yesterday morning by Rev.
Ralph E. Storey and the edifice w-as
crowded to the doors with an atten
tive audience, consisting for the most
part of the members of the G. A. R.
and their friends.
This morning at 9 o'clock, members
of the different lodge organizations
and the citizenship In general met at
the court house with the soldiers of
two wars, and hose who have not yet
seen any war and proceeded to the
cemetery. Sheriff T. D. Taylor as
grand marshal of the day, rode at the
head of the procession. He was as
sisted by Captain M. S. Kern. They
were followed by the drum corps and
then came the members of Co. L, be
hind whom marched the members of
Malabon enmp of the Spanish-American
war veterans.
Then came the veterans of the civil
war, but Instead of plodding down the
hot street as on former occasions,
they were conveyed In automobiles.
Lodge organizations and citizens In all
walks of life in autos and carriages
brought up the rear.
The line of march was from College
street down Court to Main, up Main
to Alta, out Alta to Chestnut, thence
to Webb and out Webb to he ceme
tery. The ceremonies at the cemetery
were brief but very Impressive. Im
mediately upon their arrival at the
cemetery the members of Co. L took
charge of the work of decorating Ihe
graves of the old soldiers which had
been marked with flags the day be
fore. This completed, assembly was
sounded and all gathered at the G. A.
R. pint where Captain Charles J. Fer
guson delivered an address which
won for him the congratulations of all
those who heard It. Neither long nor
tedious but beautiful In sentlmenand
well delivered, , his remarks aroused
a feeling of reverence for the dead in
the breasts of all who heard them.
The firing squad then fired the
three volleys, taps were sounded and
the exercises were at an end.
Through a misunderstanding of ar
rangements there were more people
and rigs at the cemetery when the
procession arrived than marched out.
This will be avoided next year. The
committee on arrangements desires
to thank the women of the civic club
for their co-operation and also the
owners of automobiles who so kindly
donated the use of their machines.
They only regret that more of those
who promised their machines did not
make good so that all who gathered
at the court house could have been
taken out. About 30 had been prom
ised, while lees than ten participated
Members of the committee aro well
pleased with the showing made, how
ever, and by next year hope to over
come the difficulties that Interferred
with today's arrangements.

Taft Heads Veterans.
New York, May 30. Memorial day
was a quiet one for President Taft
with the exception of a public ap
pearance at the Grand Army Parade.
Taft rode In a carriage at the head
of the veterans. Many of the boys
went afoot although a few rode in
carriages. When the column reached
Riverside drive, and . 8'9th street he

New York, May 30. Frank is dis
cussing the social features of his visit
with Col. Roosevelt In Europe, but
silent regarding their conversations
on political matters, Glfford Plnchot.
former chief forester, gave an Inter
view today aboard the steamship Ara
bia. The nearest hint Plnchot gave
regarding Roosevelt's program when
he reaches America came when Pln
chot referred to the olive trees In
Italy.
"Were there no lemon trees," was
asked. "For . some people I guess
there will be a lot of those lemon
trees," replied Plnchot.
Plnchot Intimated that Roosevelt
has allied himself against the op
ponents of the Roosevelt-Pinchot con
servation policies.
ROOSEVELT AND ROOT
HAVE NOT YET
MET
London, May 30. Although Sena
tor Root Is in London and stopping at
Hyde Park hotel only a short dist
ance from Dorchester house where
Roosevelt Is domiciled, the two men
have not yet met. The fact that Root
has not called has caused surprise
here as It is known they were close
political and personal friends In the
United States. The Americans here
were deeply Interested in the fact
that there has been no exchange of
courtesies and believe Root Is particu
larly anxious to steer clear of political
breakers. Roosevelt today lunched
as the guest of the Royal Geographi
cal society at hotel Metropole. Later
he attended a reception at hotel Rltz
given by Sir George Reid.

TO BE EXPOSED
Spitzer Will Testify Further
Regarding Methods of Big
Sugar Trust.
DISCLOSURES WILL CONCERN
THE DRAWBACK BUSINESS
Further Indictments Expected This
Week When Pardoned Ex-Superintendent
of Docks Shows New Phase
of Sugar Graft Believed Drawback
Secured on Cuban Sugar Which Is
Admitted to Country Free From
Duty.
New York, May 30. Further reve
lations of fraudulent actions by the
so called sugar trust in connection
with the United States custom service
are expected this week from Spitzer,
formerly superintendent of the Am
erican Sugar Refining company's
docks, who was convicted of fraud
and pardoned by President Taft
Spitzer's expected disclosures will deal '
with the "trust's drawback business,"
a phase of the Investigation hitherto
to have been unmentioned. It is be
lieved more indictments will result.
The draw back operations are believed
tu conceal a system of double dealing.
The government allows a rebate or
drawback amounting to a certain per
centage of the duty paid on sugar
when shipped again after being re
fined. The company Imports raw sugar
from Cuba and Java. Investigations
have led officials to believe the com
pany has secured a drawback on Cu
ban sugar, which is admitted free, af
ter it has been refined as well as on
Java Importations on which duty Is
charged.
TRUCE MAY END FIGHT .
AMONG THE NICAR?GUANS
DluefieMs, May 30. Fighting was
resumed about Blueflelds but there
was no general attack today, being
mostly skirmishing between the small
parts of the opposing armies. It is
believed Estrada will be able to hold
the city despite the fact the gov
ernment has captured the custom
house, and holds the bluffs over-looking
the city. Neither side is strong
enough or possesses knowledge
enough to make a successful aggres
sive campaign, although strong on de
fense. There is an unverified report
that a truce may be declared as Gen
erals Arias anil Imto. nro ronvlneeil
they can not take the city. The re-'
port that more American marines are
en route leads to the belief that Am
erican intervention is certain. It is
believed Americans will end the rev
olution and keep peace until another
national election Is held.

The parents of Charles White, the leg
islator, who. confessed he was paid to
vote for Lorlmer, lives here. It is be
lieved the detectives are looking up

STANFIELD WALKS
OFF FIELD IN 3D
(Special Correspondence.)
Stanfleld, Ore., May 30. Dissatis
fied with a decision of the umpire In
the third Inning, the local players left
the field yesterday and forfeited the
game to Hormlston by the score of
9 to 0. The regular score at that
time stood 4 to 0 In favor of Hermls
ton. The decision which broke up the
game came early In the third canto.
The Hermlston man at bat laced out
a clean hit to left field and while the
umpire was watching to see whether
it would be foul or fair, the runner
cut first base by 25 feet, though the
Stanfleld players were making fran
tic efforts to Induce the umpire to
watch the runner. His attention was
called to the cut, but not having seen'
it he refused to call the runner out
when the ball had been relayed to
the first station. The locals protest
ed the decision and left the field.
West and Andrews formed the bat
tery for Hermlston and Hutchinson
and Williams for Stanfleld. Each
of the pitchers had three strike-outs
to their credit when the game was
called off.

WESTON MAN ASKS STATUS
OF THE NEAR BEER CASES
The following query has Just been
received by the East Oregonlar:
Weston, Ore., May 28, 1910.
Editor East Oregonlan.
Rear Sir. Some time ago It was
said that the near beer sellers all
over the county had been indicted for
selling the real beer or beer that con
tained more than the limited amount
of alcohol, now will you be so kind
as to Inform a patient public, what
has been done about the matter, or
when the cases are to be called up
for trial. People are wondering If
there has been another Injunction
served, any Information In regard to
the matter will be thankfully re
ceived. Respectfully,
A. F. SMITH.
Full accounts of the above cases
have been published from time to time
In this paper. It will be recalled
that several of those indicted entered
pleas of guilty to the charges pre
ferred against them and were fined.
Others united in an attempt to defeat
the local option law, in so far as it
applies to this county, and pleaded
not guilty. Facts were stipulated by
both sides in a test case, the case
was argued before Judge Bean and it
Is now in his hands for a decision
which Is expected soon.
The attack on the local option
law was made on the ground that the
election board had not formally noti
fied the county court of the result of
the election and that therefore the
court had no judicial knowledge of
the result and erred In issuing its pro
hibition proclamation.
RAILROAD BILL IS
NEAR LAST STAGE
TAFT WILL BE GIVEN
ONE MORE CHANCE AT IT
Senate Will Pass Bill Tomorrow After
Which Time "Different Bills As
Adopted by Two Houses Will Go to
Taft for Recommendation.
Washington. May SO. r-Tharailroad
regulation bill will probably be voted
on tomorrow in the senate. Wednes
day the senate leader plans to send the
bill as finally adopted to President
Taft. He wl'l consider it and makel
a number of recommendations. It Is'
hoped by this means the bill finally
adopted by congress will be nearer the
form first sent to congress than the
battle-mangled remnant adopted by
the house, that is now on its way to
passage in the senate, as it is the
house wil lrefuse to adopt the bill as
passed by the senate, so the bill will
go to a conference where it is expect
ed changes will be made by the com
mittee acting on Taft's suggestions.
The bills of the two houses differ
considerably. Senate leaders will ask
Taft to make Immediate recommen
dations to the committee suggesting
the sort of a bill he will willingly
sign. It Is believed he will recom
mend that certain of the original pro
visions will be reinstated. The con
ference committee practically has the
last word In forming the bill. The
two houses can adopf the committees
suggestions or rush measure back for
further consideration, but no amend
ment can be adopted.
CLERGYMAN USES HIS
FISTS ON ASSAILANT
Edinburgh. The Rev. James Fer
guson, parish minister at Corstorphine,
near Gogar, where he had been con
ducting the evening service. He was
about a mile outside Corstorphine
when he was occosted by a man, who
asked him what the time was. Mr.
Ferguson replied that he thought it
would be about 10 o'clock.
The man, who had come close up,
then sprang upon the minister and
seized him by the throat. The clerical
collar, however, prevented the assail
ant getting an effective grip and Mr.
Ferguson, who is of strong and stout
build, defended himself pluckily and
successfully. With a couple of well
directed blows he felled his assail
ant. Fearing the appearance of the ac
complice, Mr. Ferguson then hurried
off and on his arrival he communicat
ed with the police.
In an Interview Mr. Ferguson said
he had in his possession a goodly sum
of money and was also wearing a gold
watch and chain. "I did not learn the
noble art of the university for noth
ing," added the reverend gentleman. '

T
MAKES
GREAT FLIGHT
Silent American Wings His
Way From Albany to New
York.
BREAKS SPEED RECORD
FOR LONG DISTANCE
Covers Distance of 137 Miles In Two
Hours and 32 Minutes, An Average
of 51 4-5 Miles an Hour Journey
Through Air Was More Dangerous
Than Paulhan's Now Predicted
Aeroplanes Will Soon Fry from New
York to Chicago.
New York, May 30. It is predicted
today that aeroplane flights between
Chicago and New York with no more
stops than are necessary for the ex
press to change engines, will be com
mon in the near future, following the
successful flight of Glenn Curtlss yes
terday from Albany to New York, a
distance of 137 miles. Curtis Is the
recipient today of congratulations for
his marvelous performance. A more
substantial recognition was a check
for $10,000 given by the New York
World for his success. Among the
records Curtlss broke was the world's)
hourly speed record for long distance
flights. He averaged 54 4-5 miles an
hour. He made his first stop at
Pouhgkeepsle where he rested an
hour. He next lit on Manhattan Is
land, winning the race and then flit
ted to Governor's island. A biplane .
was used in the feat.
The start was made from Albany
at 7:03 o'clock yesterday morning un
der conditions as nearly perfect as the
most fastidious aviator could demand.
One hour and 23 minutes after he
had made his stopping place near
Poughkeepsle, where there was an
hour's intermission. Resuming his
flight at 8:26 he sped southward, and
landed within the boundary of Man
hattan Island at 10:35.
Only one hundred yards north of
the point on which his craft settled
stretched Spuyten Duyvil creek, sep
arating Manhattan Island from the
mainland. Had he failed to cross this
his flight would have ben in vain
but as he swept over It the prize wae
his. Thence to Governor's Island his
task was but the concluding lap of a
race already won.
Paulham's flight from London to
Manchester, 186 miles, exceeded the
Curtlss feat of yesterday in distance,
but not in speed and danger. The
Frenchman's average was 44.3 miles
an hour and below him lay English
meadowland. Curtiss followed the
winding course of the historic Hudson
with Jutting headland, wooded slopes
and treacherous palisades. He swung
high over the great bridge at Pough
keepsle, dipped at times within 60
feet of the river's broad surface, and
Jockeyed like a falcon at the turns.
Only once did his craft show signs
of rebellion. This was off Storm King
near West Point, when, at a height of
nearly 1000 feet a treacherous gust of
wind struck his planes. The machine
dropped 40 feet and tilted perilously,
but Curtiss kept his head and by adroit
manlpuation, restored the equilibrium
of the machine.
Curtiss announced today he will not
fly again for some time. When pre
sented with the check he handed it
to his wife. She said, "I will make
good use of this."
Many Firemen Are Injured.
Pittsburg. May 30. Seven firemen
are in the hospital today and 24 oth
ers are suffering from minor burns as
a result of a fire that for seven hours
threatened to destroy the down town
section of this city yesterday. The
damage Is estimated at a quarter of a
million dollars.
Children a Sin at Tale.
New Haven. Much comment has
been caused by an assistant profes
sor who wrote to the Yale Alumni
Weekly pleading that the proposed
increase In salaries be extended be
yond full professors. He wrote:
"I am at the $1800 stage, and by
hard work and management I could
possibly support my wife and one
child (more would be a sin against
heaven) and myself.
"If salaries were made out of
brick and were reared four or five
stories high and had their pictures
in the papers, then perhaps, the pub
lic and Yale alumni would see the sit
uation as it really exists." ,
.Gym Course Required at Wellesley..
Wellesley, Mass. The brand of
womanhood which Wellesley college
Is to send out Into the world in fu
ture must be physically perfect and
have a complexion about reproach to
pass in the "gym" course. Failure to
pass this course will mean the loss
of points needed for a diploma. So
say the faculty, and Miss Holtman,
physical director, stands behind the
statement. Beginning next fall the
freshmen and sophomores will be re
Quired to take tt gymnasium course.
