THOMPSON STKEET HOME IH KtJLAIilZED
WHILE FAMILY IS AWAY IN THE COUXTKY
Evidences of another burglary in Pendleton were found this after
noon and the victim lu this case is Dave Johnson, the sheepman. At this
time the Johnson family is in the country and their home on the
Thompson street hill was left unoccupied. During the day neighbors
noticed that a door of the house was partly opened and their suspicions
became aroused. Word was sent to the police station and Officer
Stansbury went to the scene to investigate. ,"m entering the house it
was seen nt once that the place had been ransacked as though by
burglars. Articles of clothing, brushes, etc., were thrown about upon
the floor and the place had nil appearances of having been robbed.
As to what if anything bad been stolen the officer was unable to form
much of an opinion. Little can be told as to that point until members
of the Johnson family return1 and investigate.

New York. March 30 Charles Mur
phy came out last night in a state
ment ' attacking Francis Lynde Stet
son, a New York lawyer, charging
him with working openly with Frank
H. Piatt, son of former United States
Senator Thomas C. Piatt, in making
a deal with the republican machine
to elect a man of his own selection
for I'nited States senator.
He charges Mr. Stetson with being
the "mysterious power who has been
behind the insurgent movement at
Albany."
"All efforts to discover the identity
of the lam realiy responsible for this
action heve 'been in vain," continues
Mr. Murphy's statement, "until yes
terday, when, with brazen enfrontery,
Francis L. Stetson, a political Phari
see, stepped into the limelight and
N.ldly assumed charge of the entire
movement."
"Who is this Francis Lynde Stet

for the steel trust, "the greatest piece

of Murphy's attacks upon him hist

Present Gigantic Funeral I'roees
sion is Planned.
New York, March 30. Thirty wo
men were removed last night from a
memorial mass meeting for the vic
tims of the Washington Place fire in
Grand Central Palace, suffering so
terribly from hysteria that ambulance
surgeons were called to aetend them,
and to remove some to the hospital.
More than 3000 persons were pres
ent, mostly women whose nerves were
unstrung by tUe recital which some
of the speakers made of Saturday's
fire horror. The meeting was under
the auspices of the Shirt Waist and
Dressmakers' union.
Arrangements for a funeral demon
stration in which 150,000 sympathiz
ers will be asked to join; identifica
tion of four more bodies, leaving but
16 now unidentified; the swelling of
the relief fund to nearly $5000 and
the effort of the districc attorney's
office and of the fire marshal to fix
the blame for the catastrophe, were
activities today which followed Sat
urday's fire horror.
It is proposed to take the bodies
of most of the 143 victims through
the streets Monday In a great funeral
procession, headed by a chorus of 70
singers from the Jewish Choristers
union, followed by the 600 surviving
employes of the Triangle Waist com
pany, and as many sympathizing
workers ns can be induced to join. It
i.-; suggested that the procession pass
from the morgue by the Washington
Palace building where the fire oc
curred. Twenty-five survivors ld their
stories of the catastrophe to assistants
in the district attorney's office today
and others appeared before the fire
marshal. Daiah Lufstcbitz told the
district cttorney. that when the fire
alarm was first given she signaled:
"Fire! Fire -Escape" by a writing
machine to the girls on the ninth
floor and followed this with a tele
phone message.
Laughter greeted her at the other
end of the receiver, she said. In a
moment mora she ran and made good
her escape.

cuses Perry and Bailey of Unpro
fessional Conduct Many Members
Attend.
At 3:15 the associat'on voted
to refer the matter to the exe-
cutive committee with instruc-
tions to report not later than
May 1. Will M. Peterson, who
Is a member af the committee,
will not act as he has been act-
Ing as attorney for Watts. C.
H. Carter called a meeting of
the executive committee to fol-
low adjournment.
At 2:30 this afternoon, President
Carter of the Umatilla County Bar
association, called a special meeting
of that body to order and stated that
the occasion had been caused by a
certain entanglement in the St. Den-
nis vs. Watts case which had embar
rassed the court to the extent that the
association had been asked to -investigate
the procedure and methods in
the case. Inasmuch as the constitu
tion provides that such investigations
shall first be made by the executive
committee, It seemed probable at S
o'clock that the only action which
would be taken by the association at
its meeting would be to refer the
matter to this committee. Judge
James A. Fee made this suggestion
and it seemed to meet with approval.
The executive committee consists of
President C. H. Carter, Vice President
R. J. Slater, Secretary G. W. Coutts,
Treasurer Will M. Peterson, J. A.
Fee, S. A. Xewberry and Frederick
Steiwer, the latter having been elected
this afternoon to fill the vacancy caus
ed by the resignation of F. H. Bart- A
lett.
Tho Charges Made.
Attorney Watts charges that At
torneys Perry and Bailey have been
guilty of unprofessional conduct in
instigating a suit by representing to
the heirs of Desire St. Dennis that he.
Watts, was robbing thein by wdth
holding certain moneys and notes from
them. Watts later secured the power
of attorney from the plaintiffs and
filed a motion to dismiss the suit
against himself. Inasmuch as this
was done without an order from the
court, it was illegal. Meantime Perry
& Bailey had filed a motion for a de
fault through failure of Watts to
answer the complaint. This is the
present state of affairs.
The following attorneys attended
the meeting this afternoon: W. M.
Peterson, G. W. Coutts. W. C. E.
Pruitt, H. I. Watts, S. F. Wilson, J.
