tend the sewer system one mile

dlately telegraphed to the legls-
lature.
Pendleton, Ore., Feb. 6, 1911.
To the Editor:
In view of the report of the State
Engineer submitted to the legislature
today, It seems probable that some
Information may be desired by the
officials who will have In charge the
construction, as well as the location,
of the Eastern Oregon Insane Asylum,
as to conditions and available lands
adjacent to or. near the Oliver tract
which the state now owns, and I
want to suggest that the columns of
the local papers be opened to the clt
lsena who have been long residents
here, for suggestions. I am sure that
the state board will welcome such,
and It is probable that the legislature
will make no specific selection, tut
will leave that to the Judgment of
the governor, secretary of state and
state treasurer, who nust take the re
sponsibility ultimately.
I have no interest m any lands, or
In the sale of any lands, but do have
the interest of a citizen In svlch a lo
cution as will be most advantageous
for the unfortunate people who must
be the inmates of the Institution
when constructed. I am sure every
good citizen will be chiefly concerned
for them, and in such a location and
uch a building as will be at once at
tractive to those unfortunates and a
credit to the state. So believing I
have endorsed and do now endorse
the selection of the Oliver lands for
asylum farming purposes, and be
lieve that their purchase by Acting
Governor Bowerman was wise, but 1
am equally confident that few men
looking solely to the comfort of the
Insane, and tho possibilities for mak
ing their surroundings attractive,
would endorse the selection of the
building site upon the Carpenter
tract. The bed-rock Is too near the
surface, the soil dry and barren,
while the immediato view therefrom
Is uninviting.
Wheeler Site -Not Approved.
It seems to me therefore that the
report of the state engineer In that
particular is to bo commended. With
his rccommendntlon of the Wheeler
tract I am not entirely In accord, and
the chief value of the Roberts lands
for Asylum purposes would be to se
cure the control of the riparian rights
on the river for water power. Doubt
less, however, it will be economical In
the long run to make that purchase,
as the state will need a power plant
for lighting and general purposes re
quiring the development of eloctrlclty.
Since it la proposed to erect build
ing of sufficient magnitude to ulti
mately accommodate a thousand pa
tients, and it Is well to lay. the foun
dation broadly. As to the location
of the buildings It is my belief that
the climatic conditions soil texture,
and ease In developing the parking
system needed to make the grounds
beautiful, as well ns shelter from
winds, require that the property at
the mouth of McKay creek, adjoin
ing the Oliver tract on the south
west, should be acquired, and the
structure erected there. Then an ar
tistic concrete bridge could be built
panning the river connecting the asy
lum grounds with the farming lands,
and a landscape gardner would soon
transform the property Into one of
the most lovely parks of the west
Both the railroads entering Pendle
ton could run spurs upon an easy
grade to the blldlngs for freight pur
poses down the south side of the riv
er from this city, around the bluff
to the west of the ball grounds, and
If necessary the city could blast away
the rock and make a delightful drive
along the river to McKay creek,
thence, with a macadamized road up
the creek to the county poor farm,
and back to Pendleton, a drive of
about five miles would be assured for
our people, and a convenience to the
Institution secured forev6r.
If possible the old Fanning spring
should bo 'purchased by the state for
the Institution's needs. Engineers In
the past have estimated Its flow to be
sufficient for several thousands of
people. I understand that the state
lias options upon all this property,
and why It has not received greater

SULTAN OF SULU
AT MANILA FAIR
Manila, Feb. 7. The largest in
dustrial exhibition ever held in the
Philippines was opened at Zamboanga
today by Brigadier General Perishing,
governor of the Moro province and
commanding general of the depart
ment of Mindanao. He was assisted
by Governor General W. Cameron
Forbes, Major General J. Franklin
Bell, commanding the Philippines di
vision and Rear Admiral John Hub
bard, commander-in-chief of the U.
S Asiatic fleet who also reviewed the
land parade participated In by three
regiments of infantry, one of cavalry,
five battalions of Philippine scouts
,and eight companies and the band of
the Philippine constabulary.
In the parade were many high of
ficials of the Insular government,
members of the consular corps, and
representatives of thirteen of the wild
tribes of Mindanao, who were brought
together for the first time. The war
ships of the Asiatic fleet will take
part In a water parade tomorrow.
The exhibits In the fair grounds
represent the work of the (several
tribes of Moros, the Manobes, Mago
bos, etc., during the past year and
samples of the agricultural products
raised by American planters In Davao.
Many of the cloths woven by natives
are rich In design and color and equal
In brilliancy those manufactured in
Indian or Turkey. The work In brass
and copper Is unique and shows much
originality.
An industrial school has been con
structed on the fair grounds, where
many excellent samples of the crafts
of the Islands, are being turned out.
The sultan of Sulu has constructed
a residence on the grounds, a fac
simile of his palace In Jolo and Is
living there with several of his wives.
The fair will close February 14.
LORIMER OBJECT OF
VERBAL OUGHT
JONES OF WASHINGTON
TAKES FLING AT BRIBERY
Tells Fellow Senators There lt no Es
timating tlo l'tent of tlio Tainted
Voting Caused by Lorlmer's Money.
Washington, Feb. 7. In an able
speech thut was received by his col
league with pronounced Interest,
Jones (republican, Washington), an
nounced his verdict against Lorlmer
In the senate today. He gave an in
cisive review of the testimony.
The senator argued that the seven
known tainted votes cast for Lorl
mor were not all that were swayed
by corrupt practices.
"In the case before us," he Bald,
"It seems to me It would practically
be Impossible to determine definitely
and surely all of the tainted votes.
The tainting of Lee O'Neill Browne's
vote did not stop with him. There
were men like 'Manny' Abrahams,
who voted aa Brown voted, right or
wrong, how many, no one knows; but
the tainting of his vote tainted theirs
even though they were not guilty of
any wrong Intent. The testimony It
self shows aye. Brown so testified
that there were men In the Illinois
legislature who voted ns Browne vot
ed whether right or wrong, and any
transaction, In my Judgment, tainting
Browne's vote, also mints these votes.
His Influence was different from that
of the ordinary member of the legis
lature. Many looked to him aa a
friend, leader and 'guide. Whatever
he did they accepted as correct and
those- who were looking to Influence
an election by Improper means would
accomplish a great deal more by In
fluencing Browne's vote than by In
fluencing the votes of dozens of oth
ers. It was plain to be seen that If
Browne could be bribed, not only his
vote would be bought, but that there
would be bought with It many other
votes."
In summing up his argument, Sen
ator Jones said:
"I have wished to sustain the ver
dict of the majority of the committee
because of their learning and ability,
their Integrity and patriotism. I have
wished to sustain their verdict be
cause of my Intimate association with
Mr. Lorlmer In the house of repre
sentatives. I have wished to sustain
It for the honor of the great state of
Illinois, In which I waa born and
reared, but I am compelled by my
oath, under the facts, as I see them,
and the law, as I see It, to vote to
declare the election of Mr. Lorlmer
Illegal and void."

Hnuchuca, Ariz., Feb. 7. Several

Several bands of Americans enroute

KILLED IN ASYLUM AT SALEM
Hans Hansen, the young Swede
who was sent to the insane asylum
from this city oh January 6, was kill
ed Inst Saturday morning when he
mutinied against the guards at that
Institution and the news Just became
public property yesterday afternoon.
It seems from the testimony at tne
inquest, ordered by the district attor
ney on -the recommendation of Su
perintendent Stelner and the state
board, that Hansen attacked Attend
ant Kane, who called for help, that
two other attendants and another pa
tient came to the rescue and that dui
Ing the battle, Hansen was kicked so
violently In the stomach that he died
soon after.
Head Attendant William R. Kane
of the ward where the fight occurred,
Informed the coroner's Jury that tne
Insane man attacked him Bhortly be
fore 6 o'clock and, finding that he
was unable to withstand the furious
assault, he called upon George Har
rington, another attendant, to assist
him. Hansen got Harrington's fin
ger In his mouth and did not let go
until some person, unknown to the
witness, strangled him almost to
death.
Kane testified that Hansen was ta
ken to a strong room, locked up and
left there and died shortly afterward.
Kane's statements were corroborated
by Attendants J. C. Ackerman and
George Harrington, but the person
who did the strangling was not dis
covered until Wayne McCann, a new
patient at the Institution, revealed tne
fact that he not only strangled Han

date Smytlie's election Considered
as Secure Without Contest.
Dan P. Smythe, of the law firm of
Carter & Smythe, will without doubt
be elected president of the Pendleton
Commercial association at the regu
lar annual election of officers of that
organization tonight. Not only will
he be elected but he will be the un
animous choice in the belief of a
number of prominent business men
and it is certain that indications point
to such an outcome. Mr. Smythe be
longs to the younger element of the
business world of the city, Is a tire
less worker and has demonstrated
many times his ability as an organizer
so that his election as head of the
Commercial association will Insure a
year of action on the part of that or
ganization. Just who win be selected as the
other officers Is not definitely known
a. there has been no attempt to
make out a slate, but it Is probable
that W. E. Brock will be made vice
president. ' Harry Gray of Gray Bros,
grocery has been mentioned for the
secretaryship but he stated this af
ternoon that he could not see his way
clear to becoming a candidate for the
office." On the board of managers, it
Is very probable that a number of
the present members will be retained.
Dr. C. J. Smith nnd G. M. Rice are
particularly mentioned for re-election.
Among others mentioned as candi
dates for this important board are
T. G. Montgomery, cashier of the
American National bank. Attorney J.
P. Winter and A. J. McAllister of
the Pendleton Drug company.
In the absence of President W. L.
Thompson, who Is a delegate of the
Good Roads association in Salem,
Vice-president Smythe will preside at
the meeting tonight which will be
called to order at 8 o'clock.
There has been some talk for the
past few months of retaining a paid
secretary and.it is very probable that
this matter will he one of the first to
be considered by the new officers of
the association. Such an officer
would, however, in all probability be
appointed rather than elected and
have duties separate from those of the
elected secretary.

man's stomach two or three times. Mc
Cann testified that he was close by
when the attendants were trying to
force Hansen to release Harrington's
finger and seeing that they were un
able to do so. caught the man by the
throat and after choking him, kicked
him three times In the abdomen.
The testimony introduced by D. G.
Bellinger, a house physician, was to
the effect Hansen met his death from
a hemorrhage of the stomach caused
by a .eere blow. The physician In
formed the Jury that two large rents
were found In the stomach lining on
examination which caused the hem
morrhago and which eventually re
sulted in the patient's death.
Whether or not the case is suffi
ciently serious to warrant an inves
tigation by the grand Jury Is yet to
be seen, but according to the testi
mony given by both patients ana at
tendants today, Hansen's dying eon
dltion, which was noticed by both
Kane and Harrington 30 minutes be
fore he passed away, was not report
ed to the head physicians until an
hour after the struggle took place.
Hansen, prior to his examination
for Insanity, was working on one of
tho reservation farms. Though a
small man, his maniacal strength
made him difficult to handle, and
when he was put on the train here,
It was necessary to tie his hands and
feet, which task required the com
bined efforts of Deputy Sheriff Strand,
Attendant Harrington and two other
men.

Portland, Ore., Feb. 7. Seeking a
quarter of a million dollars to fight
the plague In China, Dr. Edwards of
the Harvard medical school Is here
today. He will ask the Oregon legis
