UMATILLA KKNATOKS
I0 NOT FARE WELL
Neither Barrett Nor Burgess Are Gfv
en Important Chairmanships
Supporters of Bowerman Not Ig
nored But Friends of Victor Are
Remembered First - Nottingham
and Molarkey Given Best Places.
Umatilla county's senatorial dele
gation did not far so well at the hands
of President Ben Selling as did the
representatives of the lower house. As
both Barrett and Burgess voted for
Bowerman, the defeated candidate,
this was to be expected.
Barrett fared somewhat better than
Burgess. He was named as chairman
of the committee on county and state
officers and wag given places on the
following committees: Claims, edu
cation, roads and highways.
Burgess is chairman of the commit
tee on federal relations and Is given
places on the following committees:
Irrigation, railroads and agriculture
and forestry.'
Progressives on Guard.
Salem, Ore., Jan. 17. While Presi
dent Ben Selling, in framing the com
mittees of the state senate, deals lib
erally with those who recently pre
ferred Jay Bowerman for president of
the senate, the list of committees an
nounced yesterday shows Hat he has
placed progressives on guard at the
head of the important committees.
Senator Nottingham, who WM chair
man of the ways and means laat ses
sion, is displaced by Senator Albee,
also of Multnomah. Nottingham re
mains on the committee In a minor
position. Albee is known to be In
full sympathy with President Sell
ing's desire for economy, and will keep
close watch on appropriation bills.
Malarkey of Multnomah gets the
Judiciary chairmanship, as was ex
pected. This Is considered the biggest
prize in the sonate, unless it be ways
and means, the latter being the one
which holds the throttle on the state
purse.

TO
Kiel, Germany, Jan. 17. The Ger
man submarine U 3 went to the bot
tom of the sea during practice ma
neuvers today with a full crew aboard.
Divers from her parent ship Immedi
ately began the work of looping
chain around the sunken boat. As
soon as .the boat settled the captain
detached the newly Invented tele
phone arrangement, which bobbed to
the surface and was picked up by the
battleship. The captain stated that
the machinery was disabled, but that
the crew had plenty of air and that
probably she would have V be lifted
by chains.
Rexcue Assured.
Kell, Jan. 17. Word ,was sent
ashore this evening that the Vulcan,
one of the largest ships In the navy
had chains around the submarine and
that her rescue was assured.
NO SMOKING DURING
SESSIONS OF SENATE
Salem, Ore., Jan. 17. The Oregon
senate, for the first time in history,
passed a rule today prohibiting smok
ing during the sessions. A joint house
memorial demanding the Oregon sen
ators get busy and see that Oregon
gets at least fifty per cent of what It
gives the reclamation service was In
troduced today. The house adopted a
resolution to the effect that Food and
Dairy Commissioner Bailey be Inves
tigated Immediately. He Is accused
of petty grafting. The same action
will probably be taken In the senate.

auto Joy rides and that he caught
them In Improper positions. He said

Wilson said the couple would drive
far out into the country, then he
would go for a walk and return when
a tooting of the auto horn told him
to. He told how the woman bought
llns, smoking packets and clothes for
Phillips. Some of hts testimony was
racy In the extreme.
There was much amusement when
ho relfUpd. how the iefendant had a
'special night gown" constructed
while her husband was absent In Eu
rope, During the testimony, the wo
man regarded Wilson fixedly and took
copious notes.

Suffragette Tableaux.
New York, Jan. 17. Tableux Illus
trating the great achievements of the
women of history, arranged by Mrs.
Clarence Mackny and other society
suffragists, were presented this after
noon at Maxlne Elliott's theater.
New York, Jan. 17. Indications
that the "interests" are preparing to
make a fight in the open on the pro
gressive policies were seen here today
following a hot denunciation of the
muckrakers, the Initiative, recall and
other measures at a dinner last night
of New York bankers.
Responding to a toast, former Gov
ernor Black, grilled Roosevelt and
praised Cannon. Morgan led the out
bursts of applause when congratulat
ed Black. "It is the business of sen
sible men." snld Black, "to quit whis
pering when demagogues and disturb
ers become active. They should come
out In the open and reason with the
people. As things are now, the dena
agiagues always start with the advan
tage which an unfair disputant al
ways has.' I believe that a generation
from now, when the names of these
sporadic voluble reformers are pre'
served only because they fought htm,
Speaker Cannon will be remembered
with Increasing respect"
M. RICE WILL CONTINUE AS HEAD OF THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK; WONT GO TO PORTLAND
Q. M. Rice will not 'eave Pendleton but will continue to be the
cashier and the executive head of the First national bank. At the
annual meeting of the stockholders and directors of the bank to
day all the present officers, Mr. Rice included, were re-elected. All
have accepted the positions and will serve. This means that Mr.
Rice will decline the offer of the cashlerHhlp of the Lumberman's
national bank of Portland to, which position he was chosen some
time ago.
BOWERMAN IS FOR 'HON
NOT TO REIT AND HARMONY"
Asylum Locator Says Will Not
Oppose Governor West's
Request tor Committee.
NO SCHEME TO TAKE
INSTITUTION ELSEWHERE
Information From Many Sources
Shows Present Plans of State Board
Mean no Menace to Pendleton
Board Wants Better Building Site
if Possible to Secure Such Reso
lutions Still With Committee.
In a 'phone message to the East
Oregonian this afternoon Ralph Wat
son, private secretary to Governor
West said:
"Governor West's message relat
ing to the eastern Oregon branch asy
lum, in which he asked that a special
legislative committee of five be nam
ed to co-operate with a committee
of five named by the state board has
not yet been fully acted upon by the
legislature. In each house, a resolu
tion was Introduced providing for the
appointment of such committees.
Those resolutions were referred to the
resolution committees and at 3 o'clock
they have not been reported back to
the house and senate. I believe that
the resolutions will be adopted as
there seems no opposition. I under
stand that Bowerman has said that he
will not oppose the resolutions in the
senate."
That no move is on to take the
eastern Oregon branch asylum from
Pendleton is plain from private Infor
mation received by local people, from
a public interview given yesterday by
Mute Treasurer T. B. Kay, and from a
leading of the message sent the leg
islature by Governor West yesterday.
Evidently the governor and treas
urer both consider the asylum as hav
ing been definitely located at Pen
dleton. But they do want to secure
a better building site if possible than
can be found on the Oliver-Carpenter
site. So they have asked for author-
ity to purchase more land and also
for a committee to Investigate the site
and make recommendations.
From Engineer Murphy.
Engineer Charles A. Murphy, who
has been here Investigating different
building sites west of the city stated
today that he has already submitted
to the board a report covering five
different prospective sites. Of these
sites one is entirely new. It is the
Daniels place, below tho Oliver farm,
and an option upon that property has
also been secured by the state, at
Mr. Murphy's suggestion.
From Mr. Kay.

that the parent, who was 70 years of
age, passed away on tho train Just be
fore Arlington was reached yesterday

with the strain of the long Journey

of the trip he was Irrational.

trated by his death and rendered nl
most helpless. The body was taken

Xo Pomp Fur Wilson.
Trenton, N. J., Jan. 17. Devoid of
much of tne pompt and Bhow which
marked gucn ceremonies in past years,
the inauguration of Dr. Woodrow
Wilson as governor of New Jersey to
day was characterized by democratic
simplicity. There was no parade,
and the induction into office of the
former president of Princeton Uni
versity included merely the formal
taking of the oath, delivery of the in-
gtate housei
Governor Wilson's inaugural ad
dress was largely a repetition of the
principles of "real democracy" which
he expounded during the campaign.
Democratic leaders from all over the
state attended the ceremony and in
formally banded themselves together
In a "Wilson for president" commit
tee. It is understood that from now
on the friends and admirers of the
new governor will bond every energy
toward securing for Dr. Wilson the
democratic presidential nomination
in 1912.
