NEAR TRAGEDY
UNDER THE SEA
Newport, R. I., Nov. 3. It Is
expected naval officials will or
der an Investigation of the acci
dent to the submarine Octopus
whlh nearly resulted In the
death of Lieutenant Baldwin
and his crew of 12 men from the
choking fumes which filled the
craft. The vessel was brought
to the surface and five of the
men were unconscious when air
was let in. It Is believed the
electric batteries were defective.
SCENE OF STRIFE
Washington, Nov. 3. Advices that
martini law has been declared In
Honduras were received by the state
department today from Commander
Hayes of the gunboat Princeton. The
message said the republic's affairs are
badly muddled and that an Insur
rection Is in full swing. Foreign In
terests are threatened. It Is almost
a foregone conclusion, officials here
say, that the United States will in
tervene although it will probably
wait a while fur further action on the
part of the Honduran government.
Hayes cabled that Commandant Val
ladares has possession of the town of
Amapala and has been officially de
clared tho enemy of the Honduran
government. He is trying to start a
revolution.
It Is believed this declaration of
Valladares as an enemy of Honduras
opens tho way for the United States
to attempt his dislodgement. Valla
dares has 600 armed men on the Is
land he controls but It is believed he
would surrender If the Princeton
would shell the town. Other advices
received indicate that former Presi
dent Bonnalla, who made several rev
olutionary attempts, is planning to
take advantage of the situation and
while the government troops are
busy with Amapala to enter from the
opposite boundary with a force of ex
iles and start another scrap.
Valladares Wine Again.
San Salvador, Nov. 3. After defy
ing President Davilla of Honduras
and the civil authorities, Commandant
Valladares who ran amuck recently
and drove foreigners from Amapala,
Is reported today to have defeated a
deatchment of government troops
sent against him. The government
fears his success may precipitate a
revolution. American marines were
landed, near Amapala and are pro
tecting Americans In their Interests.
DENIES U. S. WOULD
ANNEX PANAMA
Washington, Nov. 3. Published re
ports that President Taffs visit to
Panama in November foreshadows the
annexation of Panama by the United
States were denied today by C. C.
Arosemen, minister from Panama to
the United States. He said: "The
Independence of Panama Is guaran
teed by the Hay-Bunuavarllla treaty
and annexation Is not considered by
President Taft Reports that annex
ation Is the only solution of the Pan
ama problem are erroneous and not
founded on facts." Taft will make
the trip on tho cruiser Tennessee af
ter he casts his ballot at Cincinnati
November 8.
What Is the Reason?
Washington, Nov. 3. It Is reported
that Taft's trip Is for one of two
purposes either annexation of Pana
ma or extension of the canal zone to
twenty-five miles cither side of the
canal, or the fortification of the ca
nal. All are widely published and
are generally credited.
Millinery Jobbers Moot.
Chicago, Nov. 3. Doubtless with
the purpns" and intention of plotting
and conspiring against their brother
men, to plan and design new and more
hideous and expensive models for
Easter tints such ns will delight the
hearts of tho feminine population and
flatten the pocket bonk of husbands
and fathers, the National Millinery
Jobbers' association convened hero to
day. Caring not who makes the cheap
and profitless hnts for the men of the
country if they may sell the ladles
lids, tho millinery men are chock full
of optimism and seeming prosperity.
It Is understood that the feminine
headgear for the coming season will
be somewhnt smaller and more con
servative than the styles prevailing of
late, but It may be stated with author
ity that the prices will not be lower.
Jobbers assert that the big profits
supposed to prevail in the millinery
trade are non-existent and that their
margin of profit Is no larger than In
other mercantile lines. Moreover, it
Is asserted, women's hats are to be
classified as perishable goods, as sud
den changes In styles and popular
fancy frequently entail large losses.
Stanfield Standard Sold.
E. II. Brown, owner and publisher
of the Stanfield Standard, has sold
his newspaper to F. E. Ball. late of

queerest suits ever filed here is set
for a hearing today. Adolph Fries,
an engineer of the Panama canal, is
the plaintiff and Mayor Charles A.
Beachtold and wife of Mountainside,
N. J., the defendants. Fries says that
Beachtold wrote him of a farm to be
bought at a bargain for $12,000, and
that he sent half that sum, later for
warding $3000 more. . Later, Fries
alleges, he discovered that the farm
was In the name of Mrs. Beachtold,
and that his checks had been Indorsed
over to her before they were cached.
The Beachtolds allege that Fries sent
them the money as a free gift and
that to cause to give up the farm or
the money would be "an Injury and
a fraud." This novel defense has
aroused wide interest among the legal
fraternity, who ore awaiting the de
cision with interest.

bitrate but .employers Insist on an

IS DISQUALIFIED
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 3. Barney Old
field yesterday fought for three hours
a great contest for the right to enter
today's automobile meet here and lost.
All attorneys for the American Au
tomobile association held that Instead
of an Injunction to force the local
racing organization to allow him to
race in defiance of his disqualification
by the America Automobile associa
tion, Oldfield should have sought
tnandamous to secure reinstatement
Oldfleld's attorneys brought suit for
$20,000 damages against the Ameri
can Automobile association and one
for $5000 against the Atlanta asso
ciation. Oldfield's attorneys claimed that he
had been disqualified by the Ameri
can Automobile association without a
hearing, that a disqualification of his
Bens racer amounted to compensa
tion of property.
The attorneys argued that hta race
with Jack Johnson which caused the
disqualification, was Justlfable be
cause It would tend to discourage
Johnson from future competition with
white sportsmen.
The opposition counsel replied that
Oldfleld's dlsbarmnt was .automatic
und' lerhtre e nd ?A-tEEHsUera n
under the rules he himself had signed.

DEFEAT R( ELTISM
New York, Nov. 3. That the re
publicans are contributing to tho
democratic campaign fund3, hoping
thus to defeat "Rooseveltism" in Nev
York, was asserted today by State
Chairman Huppuchu. As proof of
his statement he published a leuer
from H. W. Cartel, a Philadelphia re
publican, enclosing a contribution to
the democratic fund. The letter says:
"The safeguard standing between civ
ilized society and anarchy Is respect
of law. When a former president of
the United States attacks the supreme
tribunal he shows he Is dangerous
and not fit to be trusted with author
ity." Roosevelt Is today speeding
westward to deliver speeches In Iowa
and Ohio.

tion for the big automobile race meet

STARS OF THE PAST
MAY PLAY TOMORROW
Football enthusiasts in this city may
be given an opportunity to see another
gridiron contest this season if plans
of Manager Thompson of the high
school team materialize. The success
ful culmination of these plans depends
altogether upon whether or not for
mer wearers of the big P can be in
spired with a desire to don once more
the moleskins and the accessory har
ness and pit their strength and energy
against an opposing mass of beef and
brawn. The high school boys are de
sirous of securing one more s.trenu
out workout before they line up
against the stalwarts of Baker City
high school and are endeavoring, to
that end, to induce various alumni of
their institution whose glory and fame
are recorded in the pages of past his
tory, to enter the lists tomorrow for
a practice game.
There are a number of these heroes
of bygone days in the vicinity of Pen
dleton, and some of them have ex
pressed an acquiescence in the ar
rangement of such a game. Indeed
more than one have grown enthusi
astic over the prospects of mingling
in the fray again, and it is highly
probable that the sound of battle will
be htard on Matlock field tomorrow.
Some of the members of former
lineups who would be available for
the game are, George Strand, Glen
Scott, Elmer Storie, George Baer, Guy
W'yrick, Ralph Coon, Carl Engdahl,
Herbert Thompson, Jim Thompson,
Harvey M'Dill and Ivan Sturtevant.
SAILOR DIVES IN HEAVY !
SEA TO SAVE BILLS I
New York. Although a heavy sea
was running near the Ambrose Chan- i
! nel light ship and a brisk southeast j
wind was curling the waves into white I
caps, John Ambrose, mate on board
the Dalzeline, a tug of the Ralzell
Towing company, plunged overboard
Tuesday In an effort to rescue six $10
bills which had been blown Into the
water.
After 15 minutes of hard struggling
with the waves Ambrose was reached
by his companions and was hauled
back on board with a single $10 bill
he had rescued. His frends were con
gratulating him yesterday on his pluck
and endurance.
The Dalzelline had taken the J. B.
Manning, a schooner bound for Fer
nandina, Fla., down the bay on Tues
day and turned her loose southeast ot
the lightship. Before the two vessels
parted Captain Kean put the tug al
ongside to receive the towing charg
es. The six $10 bills were tucked In
the slit of a long bamboo pole, and
a sailor attempted to pass the money
over to the Dalzelline. Suddenly the
bills slipped from their fastening and
fluttered into the water.
Ambrose was In the water nearly as
soon as the bills, which were carried
quickly away by the wind and tide.
He managed to grasp one bill, but
the rest were too far scattered to be
reached.

In Flrv't Speech of His Campaign,
John A. Dix Hurls Accusations at
Head of Ex-President Says Whole
Nation Has Occasion to Blush at
Roosevelt's Actions Says He Mer
its Only Pity of Decent Men.
On Board the Roosevelt Special. Al
ii mce, Ohio, Nov. 3. "Dix become
extremely valorous about me the
moment I leave the state," said Col
onel Roosevelt today, referring to the
statements by John A. Dix, the demo
cratic candidate for governor, In his
first address in New York, in which,
he charged Roosevelt with wilful false
hood and misrepresentation.
He declared that Roosevelt because
of what he deems to be his political
necessity of the' hour, struck handa
and made a political alliance with
William R. Hearst whom four years
ago Roosevelt had "publicly branded
a? responsible for the assassin's bul
let aimed at the president"
Occasion to Blush.
"Never," he said, "have we had o
much occasion to Mush for the con- '
duct of a man who had been the first
citizen of our country.
"Search all through the history of
our country examine and study th
characters and careers of all those
who have been chosen to fill this
greatest of human positions and
where shall we find in all the long
line of men who have stood forth la
their day and generation each aa
the foremost American citizen where
shall we find a man whose qualities,
whose conduct, whose career after
leaving office have been so lacking ia
dignity and selfrespect?
"Look for a moment upon the maa
who is now running up and down th
state shouting, threatening, abusing
and wilfully misrepresenting bring
ing contempt and ridicule upon the
great office he has held and avoiding
the discussion of all the real Issues of
this campaign and then upon his
great predecessors who neyer forgot
what they owed to their country or
the duty of bearing themselves always
with dignity and with honor."
In conclusion he said:
"When the shouting and tumult
shall have died away; when the verdict
of imperial history shall have been
rendered, I would a thousand times
prefer to stand with the plain, strong
man who sheds lustre upon his coun
try, rather than with the man who,
publicly branding another as respon
sible for the assassin's bullet which
made him president has, within a few
years thereafter made political alliance
with the man whom he had so brand
ed. "Let his friends take , which ever
horn of the dilemma suits their ef
forts and his vanity to choose; my op
ponent's nominator either shamefully
and shamelessly belied a fellow citi
zen when he had Mr. Root make the
Utica speech of 1906, or he now de-.
serves the condemnation of self re
specting men in making an alliance
with one but for whom, If we believe
his own charges. President McKinley
night have lived to serve out his elect
ed term of office, and my opponent's
nominator might never had been.
"I asked this man last week for
the apology which one man owes an
other for even Involuntary misrepre
sentation. His answer has been to
repeat and I now charge wilfully and
knowlnssJ to repeat In so many places
and to ns many people as his voice
would carry, the statements which I
now publicly brand as false.
"I withdraw my request for an apol
ogy and I say with all the emphasis
at my command that a man who has
been president of the United States
who would do the things which he has
done, during this campaign, merits
only the pity of decent men."

The county court is now in session.
It was regularly convened yesterday
