of the water commissioners. Follow
ing the meeting of the board yester
day evening Mr. Brown informed
Mayor Murphy of the action taken
and the mayor has already given In
structions to the city attorney with

tion. It la probable thut two elections

ter amendment permitting the lssu
. ance of the gravity water system bonds

itioii will be held In itibout six weeks

Vtom Thorn Hollow.
Under tl e plans adopted by the wa
iter commlsloners will go for Its new
water suppiy to the springs In Thorn
.Hollow, In. the foothllle of the Blue
mountains. It Is estimated that the
flow of water from the .springs am
ounts to from three to five million
gallons dally. As at present the city
uses from MO. 000 to a million gal
lons dally It will be seen that the sup
ply will be ample for many j-ears at
least. Should the supply eventually
become inadequate then tho-et'y may
So further Into the mountains and
draw a supply from the north fork
of the Umatilla river above Wtnaha
prlngs.
.Under the plans adopted water will
b brought a distance of 14 .milosind
an J.8 inch main will be used part way
an a 28 Inch main the remainder.
The engineering work was done hy iF.

Two Reservoirs.
Two reservoirs will bo established
one on the north side hill above the
Chartae Ferguson bungalow a&d one
on the hill .above the present reser
voir. Bach ireservoir sw'll have a ca
pacity of one million gallons and each
will be 44 feet higher ithan the pres
nt reservoir. Those reservoirs will
be of such elevation and alzo as to as
ure an abundant supply of water for
all sections of the city and likewise
tor the branch hospital.
The Right of Way.
Regarding the proposition of secur
ing a right of way across the reserva
tion for the pipe line Chairman Brown
ays that the way now seems clear.
LABORER FALLS
H. O. Patch, a laborer ef Pilot Rock
Is dead at the Folsom undertaking
parlors as a result of a fall down
stairs yesterday. At tho time of the
accident he was intoxicated and was
starting down the stairs in the Brad
burn building In Pilot Rock. He fell
a distance of 15 feet and struck his
head in such a manner as to fracture
his skull from the back of his head
to the temple bone.
Despite his terrible Injury Patch
lived for several hours. He was
brought to theclty on the afternoon
passenger train and taken to the St.
Anthony's hospital where he was op
T
Million.
At the request of the board Congress
man Ellis has consulted with the in
tt-rlor department regarding a right
of way across the unallotted lands.
This right of way has been promised
and the government, through Major
Swartzlander, will also assist in secur
ing rights of way from the Indiana
who hold allotments. No trouble Is
anticipated in securing such rights of
way since the city may condemn
rights of way if unable to secure them
upon satisfactory terms by any other
course.
When the special city Is elected to
vote a charter change preparatory
to voting the water bond Issue the city
administration will also submit to the
voters an amendment bearing upon
the subject of street work. An an-
nouncement to this effect was made
today by Mayor B. J. Murphy. Ac
cording to the mayor the amendment
has not yet been drafted but the most
important thing about the amendment
will bo the fact that it will excuse the
city from paying for the Intersections
when paving or macadam work is
done. This change Is desired for th
reason that under the present charter
the city would quickly run short of
funds were any extensive street work
undertaken.
Mayor Murphy states that the char
ter change will bo worked out by the
city attorney and members of the
council previous to being submitted
to the people.

THE FINAL VOTE IS
FORTY TO FORTY-SIX
Progressives Fall to Oust "Blonde
Boss" Accused of Briber- One of
Most Remarkable Fights Semite
Ever Saw Magazines Win.
Washington, D. C, March 1. With
forty voting that they believed him
corrupt and forty-six voting for his
exoneration of the general charges or
bribery and corruption in his elec
tion Lorimer was today vindicated
and the resolution to unseat him was
lost. It ends one of the most re
niarkuble fights in the history of tne
United States senate in which the
progressives headed by Beveridge de
clared the "blonde boss' had been
whitewashed by a majority of the in
vestigation committee and demanded
his unseating. During it all Lori
mer never specifically defended him
self and steadfastly refused to re
sign. The galleries were crowded when
the vote was taken.
The features of the three weeks'
struggle were the speeches by Bev
eridge, Rolf and Crawford, all of
them bitterly attacking Lorimer, and
when the vote seemed imminent they
began a filibuster which held the
senate to an all night session. For
himself Lorimer appeared and spoke
in his own behalf in which he review
ed his early struggles and attributed
the fact that democrats he knew
while driving a street car caused
democrats to vote for him as sena
tor. Among those voting for Lorimer
were Carter of Montana; Flint of
California; Heyburn of Idaho; Pi'i-s
of Washington. Those against h!:n
were Bourne and Chamberlain of
Oregon; Borah of Idaho, and Dix n
of .Montana.
Man.iiHN Win Victory.
Washington, D. C, March 1. The
senate met today under an agreement
to vote on Lorimer this afternoon, t?.e
disposition of the tariff board meas
ure before March 4, and to. hold night
and day sessions to pass the appro
priation bills. The magazine publish
ers won a victory when it was agreed
that the bill increasing second class
postage rates be dropped. No agree
ment was reached concerning reci
procity, and Vice President Sherman
said today that he believed an extra
session will be inevitable.
It was stated at the white house
that Taft's mind is unchanged ana
that an extra session will be held
unless reciprocity is voted on.

Lynch of the International Typo
graphical union is expected here to
day to tiike action on the strike of
the 250 union printers which crip
pled the Hearst papers here. It is
believed the printers will be ordered
back to work pending arbitration.
Hearst type Is being set in the Chi
cago Journal's office by union print
ers today and the typos say a strike
will be called there today unless it is
discontinued. The Publishers' asso
ciation declares that if they do that
all union printers will be locked out
in Chicago. All papers in the city

Chicago, March 1. Chicago morn
ing paper's are published in an abbre
viated form because of differences
with the typographical union. In
connection with the matter, the Chi
cago Publishers' association made the
following statement for the morning
papers of March 1:
"On February 3, 1910, James M.
Lynch, president; J. W. Hayes, vice
president, and Hugo Miller, second
vice president of the International
Typographical union, together with
H. X. Kellogg, labor commissioner of
the American Newspaper publishers'
association; Herman Kidder, presi
dent of the American Publishers' as
sociation, and Geo. C. Hitt, publisher
of the Indianapolis Star, the six con
futing the international bord of ar
bitration to adjust the scale of wa
ges for printers employed in the of
fi, , s of the daily newspapers in Chl
eago, met here and made an award,
establishing a scale of wages for
members of the Chicago Typographi
cal union, No. 16, employed on the
uaily newspapers of Chicago.
"The award went into effect at once
in till of the offices. After it became
effective, a question was raised by
printers employed in the offices of the
Chicago American and the Chicago
Examiner, the printers claiming that
they were entitled to be paid on t e
Lasls of 13 1-2 ems per line, whereas
the actual type set measured less than
13 ems per line. The columns of the
Chicago Examiner and the Chicago
American are slightlly narrower than
the columns of all the other Chicago
newspapers. Therefore in demand
ing compensation for type set on a
basis of wider columns, the president
of the union Insisted that the print
ers should be paid for work which
they did not do.
"The management of these two
newspapers, in compliance with the
ci ntract with the printers' union,
agreed to submit the disputed question
for settlement to the Joint standing
committee, a body authorized under
the contract between the Typograph
ical union and the newspapers to set
tle all differences of opinion.
"The offer of settlement was made
in the communication by Victor E.
Lawson, president of the Chicago xj
cal of the American Newspaper Pub
lishers' association in a letter dated
February 18. It was renewed in a
letter dated February 28.
"In spite of these requests and al
so in spite of an offer made by the
management of the Chicago Ameri
can and the Chicago Examiner, to de
posit the small difference in wages

Typographical union, No. 16, to be

SUPREME COURT VACATES
ORDER FOR REHEARING
Last Chance of Escaping Sentence
Goes Return to First District
Court Ordered Attorneys for Arch
Grafter Unable to Secure New
Trial for Their Client Case in
Court for Five Years.
San Francisco, March 1. In jail
facing fourteen years In Sun Quentin
for bribery Abe Ruef today pleaded
his last fiht for freedom. He says
he'll curry the case to the United
States supremo court now that the
slate supreme court has reversed its
order grunting him a rehearing.
Ruef was nrreste-d at midnight and
after breaking the news to his famlly
hi- went quietly to the county Jail,
l.itef says he is ready to take his med
icine. Sheriff Finn has decided to take
Ruef to San Quiiitin to begin his sen
tence tlds afternoon.
.n Francisco, March 1. The last
chance of Abraham Rut-f escaping
the service of 14 years in San Quen
tin, on a charge of bribery was dls
s.pated late yesterday when the state
supreme o urt vacated the order
granting the former boss a re-hearing.
The order was made on the motion
of Attorney General Webb which was
argued at length before the court
sitting enbanc last week. At the end
of several days of argument, the mo
tion was taken under advisement,
with yesterday's decision concurred in
by the entire court as the result. The
order was made on the ground that
the absence of Justice F. W. Hen
shaw from the state at the time of the
order granting the rehearing became
effective, made the action a nullity.
In arriving at the decision to vacate
the order this was the only point con
sidered by the court, which contend
ed in the decision accompanying the
order that no other contention of the
attorney general was worthy of con
sideration. In the decision granting the motion
to vacate the order of rehearing, the
court explained that the point on
which it had been granted had never
before been brought to the attention
of the supreme tribunal of this state.
The court declared that the raising
of this point by Attorney General
Webb had raised the gravest doubt
as to the correctness of the court's
proceedure and the subsequent con
sideration of the question by the court
had entirely satisfied it that the point
was well made by the chief attorney
for the state.
Return Ordered.
In conclusion the decision ordered
the return of Ruef to the first district
court of appeals, which has sustained
the order and Judgment of the fed
eral court. Within 24 hours the ap
pelate tribunal must issue a remit
tance to the superior court depart
ment which tried Ruef. This court
will then sign an order directing the
sheriff to take Ruef to San Quen
tin. Abraham Ruef during the Incum
bency of Mayor Eugene Schmitz was
credited with being the political ate
tator of this city. As the result of
the graft disclosures following the
fire of 1906 he was indicted by the
Oliver grand Jury on 70 odd counas,
charging the acceptance and bestow
al of bribes.
He was placed on trial before Judge
