Pendleton High Wins .Debate
From Baker by Two to One
Decision "
STRATEGY OP LOCALS
WIN'S HARD BATTLE
Couch llunivlon's Handiwork. Is S-cii
Again Negative's Interpretation
of Question Takes Baker By Sur
prise Visitors Unable to Adjust
Sot Speeches to New Position De
clHlon Gives Pendleton Champion
HlJp of Eastern Oregon Hood Rlv
er Will Bo Next.
Although handicapped by depend
ing the side of the question admitted
to be the weakest, Pendleton high
school last night won the interscholas
tlc championship of eastern Oregon
by a two to one decision over the Ba
ker high school team and one more
triumph has been added to the long
list of forensic victories which the
local school has won in the past
three years. The contest last night
was hard fought from beginning to
end and, as attested by the votes of
the Judges, the vltcors had but a
slight margin.
The question debated was, "Resolv
ed, That further material increases In
the United States navy are desirable,1
of which question Pendleton had tne
negative and Baker the affirmative
In the interpretation placed upon the
question by the negative, the visitors
were clearly outwitted and it was this
feat of generalship that , decided the
victory. Pendleton hinged ber argu
ment upon the word "further," con
tending that the affirmative must
prove that increases beyond those at
reay provided by the present naval
program arc desirable else the "word
"further" would be superfluous In the
statement of the question.
Baker Outwitted.
Clearly "surprised by this move, the
visitors were at a loss how to meet
it, and finally decided upon Ignor
ing it altogether, directing their guns
at other points. Qurk to see their
advantage, the locals hammered away
at the weak spot wh'eh they had
found and this policy soon told.
Baker lost much ground by hold
ing to their set speeches instead of
adjusting them to the position of
their opponents. Frequently they re'
ferred to arguments accredited to
their opponents which their opponents
had not made, but of which, on the
contrary, they had denied their advo
cacy. The visitors plainly were pre'
pared for a defense built up about in'
ternatinal arbitration and disarms.
ment but the negative avoided any
such stamr and, consequently, much
of the affirmative's argument .went
for naught. Some of their points
were, however, strong and so insist
ently did they urge these that many
in the audience at times almost lost
sight of their failure to meet the main
attack of the Pendleton debaters.
Affirmative Opens.
E. B. Aldrlch presided at the dc
bate and, after a short word ef ex
planation, introduced the first speak
er for the affirmative, Leland Finch.
The Uuker leader, anticipating that
the defense might center their at
tack upon the word "material," care
fully defined that word and then pro
ceeded to show why a material in
crease in the U. S. navy Is desirable,
pointing out how small and weak
this country is on the water com
pared with other world powers,
James Hartwell, leader of the neg
ative, exploded a bomb in the camp
of the visitors when he outlined the
argument of his side, pointing out
that th burden of Droof was with
the affrmative and that It devolved I
upon them to prove that Increases be-
yond those already provided by the
government are desirable. He then '
gave figures to show that the U. S.
navy is Inferior at the present time
only to one other nation in size and
to none in efflcency. He insisted also
that further increases than those now
provided for would Impose an exces
sive burden upon the taxpayers.
James Donald, first colleague on
the affirmative, continued the argu
ments of his leader urging that an
increased navy is necessary for the
' protection of trade and of the vulner
able points on the coast. He insisted
that it was a hazardous policy to urge
disarmament, and that, If the navy
was left In the present stage of de
velopment, It would soon be obsolete
and ineffective.
The Present Program.
Claude Hampton responded for the
homo team, prefacing his speech with
denials that the affirmative was ad
vocating disarmament or the leaving
of tho navy in Its present condition.
Ho went on to show that congress
had already provided for annual in
creases In tho navy to the extent of
(131, 000, 000, which would mean two
now battleships with their auxiliaries
each year. He then pointed out that

VERMILLION AGAIN
III THE LIME LIGHT
RELEASED FROM JAIL
WORKS ANOTHER GAME
Rqprexento Ilimwlf as Collector for
- Walsh Grocery Store and Gets
Money from Echo and SUnfleld
Keajdenbi.
R. M. Vermillion seems to have
well fixed habit of securing money
lo which he is not entitled. Re
cently he was Indicted by the grand
Jury for passing a bad check upon
a Helix hotel woman and Is now out
on bonds awaiting trial on that
charge. Since then he has been se
curing money by representing him
self as the collector for the Walsh
grocery of this city and a warrant
for his arrest will probably be sworn
out by Charles Walsh this after
noon. Vermillion, shortly after his release
from the county Jail on bonds, se
cured a position as solicitor from
Walsh who Is managing the Walsh
grocery in the absence of his brother.
After working for two days, during
which time he secured a number of
large orders throughout the country,
he went to Echo and Stantield and
represented himself to certain per
sons whom he knew to be Indebted
to the Walsh grocery, as collector for
that house. He Is known to have re
ceived $12 at Echo, but it is not
known how much if any money he
secured at Stanfieid.
Last night he left for Moacham,
where Mr. Welsh has bills aggregat
ing $102. Learning of his opera
tions this morning, Charles Walsh no
tified the sheriff, who telephoned to
the Meacham officers to hold the
man. A warrant will probably be
Issued and Vermillion brought back
to Jail where he will face a double
charge.

To Settle Differences. ..
Los Angeles, April 29. John Ken
neth Turner, author of "Barbarous
Mexico," and also s'trongly Identified
with the rebels, left today for Mexi
can where it is believed he will take
charge of the rebel army in an at
tempt to patch up differences between
Generals Bryce and Salinas. Each
preferred charges against the othr
of drunkenness and Inefficiency.
Disturbance Extends. '
Mexico City, April 29. While It
had been thought that the signing of
the armistice in Juarez might have
the effect of lessening activities of
the rebels In other prrts of the re
publ.c, a summary of the week's cam
paign shows an Increased aggression
and a wider area of disturbance, . .
It la reported that the number of
rebels operating in one section of
Puebla is not less than S000 and from
a different part of the state comes
the news of a band of 600 that de
manded the surrender of Tehuacan,
the resort where V.ce President Cor
ral spent so many weeks. .
The larger force of SO00 Is near
Acatlan and Matamoros Izurar.
The tactics In the southern Interior
region are fairly typical of the cam
pa gn throughout the disaffected
parts of the republic. The rebels ap
pear in a town, the federals are sent
to dislodge them and a federal vic
tory Is reported. " 1
Then the report of the victory Is
true but the Invariable tactics follow
ed by the rebels Is to flee before they
are forced to surrender, so that the
sum total of the rebels is not mate
rially reduced and the defeated men
reappear in a few days in some other
place.
Slowly the. rebel forces In Guerrero
are gathering in numbers and in Coy
ucca de Catalan, Guerrero, the Jefe
politico himself opened the doors of
the prison and arming the ISO pris
oners led them forth to fight In the
cause of the revolution.
Gomez Arrives.
Gomez arrived here today from
Washington today to represent the
revolutionists in the peace negotia
tions. He conferred with Madero. He
was accompanied by Pino Saurez, pro
visional governor of Tucatan.
Gomez Not Negotiator.
Peace negot'ations will begin Tues
day or Wednesday In the hut of the
goat herder in the roothllls of the
Sierra Madres near Madero 'scamp.
Madero has not appointed Gomez as
his negotiator and many believe Ma
dero, senior, will represent the rebels.
AT AVIATION MEET
Greeted by 800 men grouped in the
prison enclosure, Walter Brooklns
and Charles F. Willard were yester
day cheered to the echo by prisoners
at the state penitentiary, says the
Walla Walla Union. The birdmen
consented to fly to the prison for the
convict's benefit; and Warden Reed
stopped work at the prison to let the
men enjoy the treat.
Many of them had never seen an
aeroplane, 45 of them never will ex
cept through an exhibition like the
one yesterday. They are life term
ers. The two aviators got into an argu
ment, after the trip and Brookins
stated that he could "fly rings
around the Wlllard-Curtlss machine."
Willard who is somewhat peppery
on the questin of speed flashed a roll
of bills that would choke an ox and
dared Brookins to put up J500 for a
race. The defi was promptly taken up
and the money deposited with Mr.
Martin.
Under the terms of the bet the two
machines will race three miles out
from tho aviation field and three
miles back, the winner to take tho
money. Tho race is expected to be
one of the feature's of today's pro
gram and has created a lot of Inter-
j est among those close to tho two avia
tors.
AWAIT ARRIVAL .
OF DETECTIVE
Prosecution Rests While Burns
Travels to Los Angeles to
Assist in Case
HILTON OUTLINES PLAN
FOR M'NAMAR.VS DEFENSE
Will Contend Tliat Times Was Dc
Ktroyed by Guh Explosion To Claim
That McManigul Not McNamara
Made Bombs and Planted Them for
Burns to Find.
Los Angeles, April 29. Awaiting
the arrival of Bums and Darrow, the
principals in the big battle for and
against the McNamara brothers and
McManigal, everyone rested on their
oars today. The attorneys made no
steps but culled over the McManigal
confession and discussed the case with
local labor leaders. Fredericks spent
a busy day working on the evidence.
It is expecte the arrival of Burns will
be the signal for activity among the
prosecution. It is hinted two or
three men will be arrested upon his
arrival.
Operatives of Burns' agency have
apparently taken complete charge
of the case. The district attorney's
representatives have always been at
tended by one or more of Burns'
men. McManigal spent a restless
night-.., McNamara slept soundly.
Hilton Plans Defense.
Tentative plans for the McNama
ras' defense were outlined today by
Hilton. The first contention will be
that the Times was destroyed by gas
accidentally; second that Ortie Mc
Manigal as Burns detect.ve worked
James McNamara into a frenzy Of hat'
red against-the National Erectors' as.
soriution . and induced -.him to pur
chase the dynamite and clock' works
to the susplc.on would be thrown on
him; thirdly, that McManigal, not
McNamara, made the bombs and
clock works discovered. and he
"plan'ed" them for Burns to find.
Burns Is Angry.
Chicago, April 29. Detective Burns
today wralhily stated that McManigal
confessed to him April 1.5 In Chicago
without a promise of Immunity or
regard. Burns Is angry because the
reported confession Is given with the
idea that he would escape punish
ment. Burns said the confession was
voluntary and done with the full
knowledge as to the penalty for his
wrong doings.
Socialists Plan Mass Meeting,
Portland, Ore., Apr.l 29. Union
labor as an organization will not be
represented tomorrow at the mass
meeting of protest against the arrest
and "kidnaping" of the McNamaras,
which is being planned by the social
ists. The central labor council de
cided that such a move would be
unadvlsabe at present.. However, the
council will draft resolutions of pro
test and will probably start a sub
scription to aid the alleged dynamlt
ere.
PREACHER WILL WORK

Centralia. Wash., April 29. "Billy"
Eastman, the evangelist of Centralia,
is preparing to leave for Alaska
where he intends devoting the rest

camps.
ATTORNEYS SUSPEND
THEIR INVESTIGATION
The end of the attorneys' investi
gation is not yet. Although it was
thought that all of the testimony
would be introduced before adjourn
ment yesterday, when S o'clock came
there was still much evidence which
had not been Introduced and the com.
mittee decided to adjourn until call.
The investigation was not resumed to.
day as several of the attorneys are
very busy preparing for the session of
the supreme court which convenes
here Monday.
Inasmuch as the committee was or
dered by the bar association to make
a report by May 1, it is probable that
a provisional report will be made
Monday which will be supplemented
when the remainder of the evidence
Is taken. Principal among the wit
nesses who yet have something to of
Ter Is Attorney D. W. Bailey who Is
one of the attorneys under Investiga
tion. The officers who are conducting the
Investigation still refuse to give out
anything for publication and, although
there is much street gossip concern
ing tho evidence submitted, it is only
gossip and is not published lest an In
justice be done.

PENDLETON LUMBER CO. TO
BE BORIE LUMBER CO.
Purcliascr Was Formerly Owner of
Oregon Lumber Co. and Later
Cashier of Savings Bank Was
President of Commercial Club.
Through a deal that has Just been
finally consummated, J. A. Borie,
well known former resident and bus
iness man of Pendleton, has purchas
ed the Pendleton Lumber yard from
the Standard Lumber Company of
Moscow, Idaho. He is now in pos
session of the plant, which is located
adjoining the Forster planing mill.
It is announced by Mr. Borie that
the business of the lumber company
will be Incorporated under the name
of the Borie Lumber company. Inci
dentally it may be said that the name
of Borie is well known in local busi
ness circles and especially in the
lumbering business. Mr. Borie for
merty owned the Oregon Lumber
company on Alta street and conduct
ed that business very successfully for
a number of years.
In 1904 he sold the Oregon lumber
yard in order to take the cashiershlp
of the Pendleton Savings Bank, now
the American national, and which at
that time was owned by W. J. Fur
nish and associates. After resigning
his post in the bank Mr. Borie de
voted his time to investments in
Mexco and later he came here to take
the management of Wenaha springs,
which resort he conducted one sea
son. While In business in Pendleton
formerly, Mr. Borie was very active
as a member of the Pendleton Com
mercial club and was president of
that organization for several years In
succession. He was probably the
only man ever relected as president
and the honor was a tribute to the
earnest work he did in behalf of the
association. It was during his admin
istration the club membership reach
ed the hlghwater mark of 400. In
view of his record as a worker for
the advancement of the city, his re
turn to the city is regarded with great
satisfaction by his friends.
Mr. Riordon, formerly manager of
the Pendleton lumber company, has
taken a position as manager for the
Tum-a-lum Lumber company at
Hermiston.

Still another sensational chaffrfcar
has teen written into the famous
bel Warner will case. Last night
tween 11:45 and 15:15, some
made entrance through a window?
the basement of the East Oregnecoav
building and stole two copies or i
brief which Attorneys Fee, Slater i
Stelwer had prepared In the &MaaS
of the case to the supreme court. '
bold theft was discovered shortly
ter it was committed by Fred
kin, manager of the East Oregotanus,
who noticed the open window wXiem-
he chanced to go into the basemwoar..
Just who is responsible for the i
bery is of course unknown bat
picion points strongly toward" cei
persons and an investigation far l
made. The briefs are absolutely
ueless to any but a very few inJ
uals and the culpability can
fore be narrowed very closely:
motive for the deed is harder to
termine. The law requires that a i
tain number of copies must be
and, as a matter of course, if less 1
this number is filed, the court
refuse to consider the appeal. It i
be, then, that an attempt was
to forestall the filing of the briefisTsr
persons interested. If such
motive, the attempt was thwartesT :
about twice the number necessary i
filing purposes were printed and'
absence of two will not be notSrariS.
Again certin persons may have Kntf
a desire to see the brief before 0m
opening of the supreme court Hsisi
day and have taken this means to ss-.
cure it. The attorneys who dttw s
the brief have their own theory off t
matter but do not desire to
charges without proof.
