New York, N. Y., Dec. 12. Nelson
W. Aldrich, senior senator from Rhode
Island, owns 340 Bhares United States
Rubber company stock, which is like
wise known as the rubber trust, ac
cording to the New York World. The
story is based on an examination of
the books of the rubber company by
a World reporter who purchased one
share of rubber stock so he might be
able to see the books. . Although pro
testing against allowing this, Secre
tary Norrls showed the book. At the
top of the page was the name of Aid
rich showing he owned 340 shares of
preferred stock. The date opposite
the entry was July 18, 1910. Norris
says Aldrich owned stock some time
before but that was the date the en
try was tranferred from an old ledger.
The names of four other Aldriches
were found. The Investigation of the
books was made following the ans
swer of Aldrich to charges of Senator
Brlstow that Aldrich profited directly
by the Increases of the rubber sched
ules In the recently adopted Payne
Aldrlch tariff bill. Aldrich said neith
er he nor his family had any pecuni
ary Interest in whether the duty on
rubber were 30 or 300 per cent.

FESTIVE BURGLARS "
VERY PROMISCUOUS
It behooves the people of Pendle
ton to lock their doors and windows
at night and take other precautions,
for the records of Saturday night
show there are burglars abroad. So
far as known, these nefarious gentle
men plied their practice at three dif
ferent places on that night In two
of the places they were successful In
securing a little booty but In the third
place their Instruments were not ef
fective In gaining an entrance.
Attorney R. R. Johnson Is the loser
of an old suit of clothes and a cheap
watch by the depredations of the
house robbers, but he Is not mourn
ing as he Intended to give the rait
away and the watch was only a dol
lar one which was replacing his own
which lsl n the Jewelry shop for re
pairs. The miscreant walked boldly
Into the house sometime during the
night, procured the suit and went
away without disturbing anything
else In the house.
Dr. F. W. Vincent Is the second
loser and he is not at all pleased
with the night visit as the thief or
thieves appropriated a couple of
choice hams which were hanginb on
his back porch. Because of the pres
ent high cost of living, Dr. Vincent
considers that lie might as well have
lost so much gold.
The same or other gentlemen ot
the profession were foiled when they
attempted to break into the cigar
store of R. W. Henncman on Main and
Alta street. He or they succeeded in
getting through the grate at the rear
of the store and were also successful
in prying oft the fire doors to the
basement window, but when they en
countered a row of iron bars still ob
structing their entrance, they decided
to abandon their attempt. Mr. Hen
neman is of the opinion that some
transient during the evening saw Mrs.
Henneman, who Is treasurer of the
Ladles' Aid Society which held a fair
on Saturday, counting the proceeds of
the day's sale, and thought they could
pick up a little easy money by crack
ing the safe.

torneys and congressmen, so he

THRESHERMEN HERE
FOR FALL SESSION

bined harvester, and the Invitation of
President W. L. Thompson of the Pen
dleton Commercial association, the
State Threshermen's association,
which held its biennial convention in
La Grande Friday and Saturday has
pledged itself to give this city Its next
fall meeting. -
Although Mr. Smith was the only
representative of Umatilla county at
La Grande, so ably did he present the
claims of Pendleton for the fall con
vention, that the committee of which
W. N. Gellatly. sheriff of Benton
county was chairman, unanimously de
cided to present this city with the
plum. Mr. Smith says he found the
Round-up of great advantage to him
In swinging the deal. There waa
great interest manifest in Pendleton's
wild west show, he said, and when he
urged that the convention be held
here during Hound-up week, the del
egates grew very enthusiastic and
were unanimous in their desire to
take advantage of the opportunity to
witness the frontier exhibition. Mr.
Smith estimates that the decision will
mean 250 additional visitors to the city
during the fair and Round-up week.
Mr. Smith is loud In his praises of
the La Grande business men and peo
ple for the entertainment which they
provided for tho threshormen during
their two days' stay in ' that city.
Nothing was left undone, he said, for
their comfort and enjoyment.
There were only about SB delegates
In attendance, he said, but those 85
men represented approximately 18,
000,000 of Investment. The principal
discussions of the meeting were over
the best methods of farming, the best
varieties of wheat tor different sec
tions, methods of securing reliable
statistics ot the grain grown In Ore
gon, and good roads.
