M'BEE INJURED Machine Collides With Cab and Mc Beo is Thrown From Car Without Driver, Auto Runs Amuck' and Crushes Mrs. Barr Against Build ing. Mrs. Cd Barr lies at St. Anthony's hospital with a fractured thigh and other serious Injuries while Charles McBee, the well known stockman, lies at his home In North Pendleton with two ribs torn loose from his breast bone and suffering from bruises and i-prains as a result of an automobile accident which occurred on Main street lust evening. Both will prob ably recover. McBee was returning from the Round-up grounds In his touring car, having but one other passenger, Ches ter Reed, an East Oregonlan carrier boy, who occupied the back seat. Mc Bee came up Alta street and slowed down to make the turn onto Main which was crowded at the time with vehicles and pedestrians. He at tempted to pass between a rig and a cab being driven by Baker. The lat ter seeing there was danger of a col lision reigned up his horses, and threw them onto their haunches. This caused the tongue, which had caught under the steering wheel of the car to be Jerked up suddenly, tearing off the wheel and throwing McBee to the pavement. Without a driver and with the stear ing gear wrecked the car plunged on and turned onto the sidewalk in front of the Office saloon. The walk was crowded with pedestrians, all of whom made frantic efforts to escape. Mrs. Barr and young son were in the crowd, the latter being far enough in ad vance to escape the onrushlng car which caught the mother and pinned her up against the front of the build ing. A bicycle standing against the wait also added to the confusion and to the Injuries which the woman re ceived. McBee wns dazed when struck by the cab tongue and did not know what happened after that. The woman was rushed to the hospital while McBee was taken to his home. Few, if any of the eye witnesses to the accident have attempted to place the blame. McBee has the reputation of being an exceptionally careful dri ver and Is said never to have driven the car fast during all the months that he has owned It Baker has been driving cab on the streets of Pendleton for years. The accident is the most serious and the most regrettable that has oc curred In Pendleton since automobiles came into general use. Bay State Endeavorer. Springfield, Mass., Sept. 27.

Roosevelt is Elected lempo rary Chairman After a Hard Fight. BITTER FEEI.IXG IS EVIDENT OVER ELECTION T. U. Precedes Convention by State ment Denouncing Sherman as Trjck ster Quells Movement to Nomi nate Him for Governor by Strenu ous Move Police Forced to Clear Floor Before Vote Taken "Old Guard' Is Repulsed. Saratoga, Sept. 27. Theodore Roos. evelt was elected temporary chairman of the New York convention after a hard fight today. The convention was called to order at noon and State Chairman Woodruff presented Sher man's name as temporary chairman saying afterwards: "President Taft de sires the convention to endorse his ad. ministration unequivocabry." Later a motion was made to elect Roosevelt temporary chairman. Abe Gruber got to his feet and roasted the colonel. The matter was finally brought to a vote after the police had cleared the hall. Saratoga, Sept. 27. Before the opening of the republican state con vention which is expected to develop a most bitter struggle between fac tions, Colonel Roosevelt issued a state ment denouncing the boss control of the other faction. The statement fol lows last night's wrangling during whkh the committee endorsed Vice President Sherman for temporary chairman declaring the charges that Sherman used trickery were false. In his statement Roosevelt declares there was trickery used. He. said: "Never was an Issue before a convention so clearly drawn between honesty, po litical honesty, honesty In public life and that peculiar basenesa which is bred of corruption in men who by trickery keep control of the state committee and who now come here to dominate the convention.' This means there will be no quarter in the fight between the old guard and Roosevelt If the program Is followed State Chairman Woodruff will present Sherman's name, and Lloyd Griscom, Roosevelt's lieutenant and chairman of the New York teounty committee. Is then scheduled to present Roose velt's name. In the fight there will be no concessions asked. Just before the convention came to order, Roosevelt ended a plan to stam pede the convention to name him for governor. He told followers that if anyone tried to bring his name up he would deal personally with him. Tri-State Fair. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 27. Tennes see, Arkansas and Missouri industries and arts are well represented at the Tri-State fair, opened today In Memphis. PRIZE SADDLE EOD IS The finest saddle ever made In Ore gon Is now on display :n the window of the Hamley harness rnd saddle store on Court street. It is the $250 saddle to be given to the man win ning the championship of the north west In the bronco busting contest at the Hound-up. It has been pro nounced by all who have seen It to be by far the handsomest thing In the saddle line this city has ever seen. It Is full silver mounted, every bit of the silver trimmings being made from silver dollars. The work was all done at the shop of Hamley & Son by their employes and especially for the Roundup. The silver work, even to the goldheaded nails which hold the silver horseshoes In place were forged and engraved by the Hamley silver smith so that the saddle Is strictly a Pendleton made article and as such is as much a credit to the city as It Is to the company putting it out. The skirts are lined with white lamb skin, bordered and bound by snokflake leather, the rosedaros and all the jockeys are also lined with snowflake leather, giving the whole a dainty, as well as beautiful appear ance. On each back skirt and back jock ey is a large silver horseshoe, held in place by gold headed nails. On the front skirts and front Jockeys are sil ver crescents and stars. The horn Is capped with silver and over the forks there Is a half circle of silver stars and buttons. The saddle Is stamped with flowers, every flower having a silver center. Silver shields WEST POINT CADETS REBEL 500 Students at " Military Academy Mutiny Against Officers. "SILENCE" OFFICER BUT REFUSE TO SAY WHY Serious Situation at West Point Faces Authorities Captain Longan "Si lenced" by Cadets Who Refuse to Disclose Reason at Investigation Refusal May Mean Wholesale Dis missal Cadets Incensed at Lon Uun. West Point, Sept. 27. Cadets of West point today are In open rebel lion and the authorises are facing the worst mutiny in the history of the academy as the outcome of the Cap tain Longan Incident In which 600 cadets joined In showing their disap proval by "silencing" him. The ca dets are united and routine work Is suspended in an effort to restore dis cipline. Supt. General Barry In his report said the first twenty examined by the Investigation committee said: "We have formed a dislike for this officer," and no amount of coaxing would make them tell the cause of the trouble. Indications are that the cadets have formed a conspiracy not to answer. Heretofore they were commanded to answer under pain of dismissal. Thus if every cadet be commanded to answer and declines. it means that 500 will be dismissed from the academy. It Is not often that the "silence" treatment is inflicted upon a superior officer and the present case Is the first that hes occurred since Captain Lindsay was "silenced" ten years ago. An Inquiry resulted in that officer being relieved from the military acad emy. With all recreation abolished, foot ball practice necessarily has been temporarily suspended and all hop dates in the near future cancelled. From various sources it has been learned that Captain Longan was "si lenced" for questioning the veracity of cadets. As untruthfulness is branded the most despicable thing In cadet life, to question a man's word Is one of the worst insults that can be offered. The under classmen. It is believed, will follow the lead set by the upper classmen. The cadets are still under arrest. According to campus gossip, antagonism toward Longan arose first when he refused to allow "the pun ishment" squad to wear overcoats when It was raining at night. After an open break Saturday night Longan forced the corps to leave the mess hall on the double quick and forced the hungry cadets to keep it up for an hour, t is said. Sunday he repeated the tactics because the cadets refused to eat. until some of them almost dropped from exhaustion. also adorn the latigo loop and other parts. While the silver adds much to the beauty and the value of the saddle It is probably in the artistic stamping that the superior quality of the work done by the Hamley shop Is display ed to greatest advantage, though the workmanship in every department seems to be without a single flaw of any kind. On each side Jockey there is stamped a steer roping scene which would do credit to a Remington or a Russel, while each one or the rose daros is stamped with a bronco bust ing scene. Both of these are com plete even to the minute details of landscape. The most careful examination of workmanship on the saddle fails to disclose the most insignificant part as being overlooked In any particular, while only the highest grade of leath er and other material has been used In manufacture. The saddle has already been viewed by several score of people and those to look at it during the next few days will probably number Into he thousands. That the man who comes Into possession of It will never have occasion to forget where and how he won It the word "Roundup" has been artistically stamped on the front of the cantle, while on the back of the cantle are the woras "Pendleton Championship Saddle, 1910," and a silver name plate with a place for the wlner"s name and the inscription "Made by Hamley & Son, Pendleton, Ore., at the bottom of the plate Is "The Roundup.
