states as follows:

Sonora Senor Cayon.

Zacatecas Guadalupe Gonzales.
Coa bulla Venustlano Cnrranza.
In the selection of General Gon-1
rales Salnz for the post of minister of j
war and Senor Vnsquez Tagle for min
ister of Justice, the rebels have cho-
sen two men who have not taken any
active part In the revolution. In fact,
Genern) Hallz Is one of tho foremost
figures In the Mexican army. Dr.
Vasquez Gomez, who has been active
In the revolution, is a personal friend
of Senor do la Hurra, the minister of j
foreign relations. In his new post.
Dr. Gomez will have gubernatorial
Jurisdiction over Mexico's three larg
est territories of Lower California,
Teplc and Qulntanu Rio and the fed
eral district which contains Mexico
City. The minister of gubernnclon
likewise derives great political power
In that It is the connecting link be
tween the governors of the states and
the federal government.
Gome, for Vh-e President.
Dr. Gomez probably will occupy the
office for only a short time, In fact
about four or five months, when the
present revolutionist party. which
probably will be known hereafter as
"tho progressive party," will noml-j
unto him as vice president, as a run -
ning mate to Francisco I. Madero Jr.,
tho presidential candidate. These two,1110 C
men opposed President Diaz and Vice
President Ramon Corral on tho anti
reelection ticket about a year ago,
and it was this controversy which
arose as to tho legality of that elec
tion which precipitated the revolu
tion.
Provisional President Madcro today
discussed with his cabinet the pro
posals which ho mndo to Judge Cara
bajal in his conference. Inst night and
tho cabinet approved. During the day
Judge Curbajal received encouraging
news from Mexico City, which made
It possible for both sides to admit
that peace was almost an established
fact and that a nation wide armistice 1
would bo declared within 24 hours.
One condition of such an nrmlstlco'
would be that the rebels could uso tho j
federal telegraph lines and railway'
lines on a purity with the federal gov-j
eminent where they now control , the'
situation. ,

Washington, May 17. The govern
ment prosecutions of the steel, beef,
bath tub coal, paper, glass, steam
ship , sugar and electric trusts, in the
opinion of lawyers are likely to be
gravely affected by the Standard Oil
decision. It practically doubles the
work of the prosecution as the gov
ernment must now prove that the re
straint of trade js "unreasonable" un
der the new ruling. For this reason
it Is probable that some of the pro
ceedings against the smaller trusts
will be dropped.
In the beef trust proceedings es
pecially the "unreasonable" feature of
the decision will be fully tested. The
beef trust attorneys recently filed a
demurrer to the indictment found
against Armour and 'ten other pack
ers for the conspiracy built almost
entirely around the "unreasonable
ness" .of the government's contention
as to their monopoly of beef trade.

FINED FIFTY DOLLARS
FOR SELLING LIQUOR
That the city authorities intend to
protect the lights of the high licens-
t1 sal"u!1 keepers of Pendleton was
eMuencea tins morning when George
M. Howard, proprietor of the Palace
Lodging house was fined fifty dollars
for selling liquor without a license.
The prosecuting witness was a sheep
herder by the name of Tyler who
testified that he secured a bottle of
beer at the Palace Sunday and that
for it a dollar was added to his hill.
Howard was not represented hy le
gal counsel but denied in toto the
charges f.gainst him, alleging that
his arrest was the result of a grudge
which the chief of police had against
him. However, as Tyler's testimony
was corroborated by other witnesses
and by circumstantial evidence, Judge
Kitz Gerald adjudged him guilty and,
although he did not impose the'niaxi
mum fine, made his sentence heavy
stating that the city would not tol
erate such offenses.
One of the saloon keepers testified
that he l ad been selling a barrel of
bi tiled beer to the defendant at quite
fiequent Intervals and the officers
have known that the law was being
violated but have encountered much
trouble In securing a witness.
Waul To Ely Here.
The Fourth of Julv committee have

can be raised to secure a blrdman.
However, the committee has the mat
ter under consideration.

Henry George Says Law Will Bo

Washington, May 17. A scathing
criticism of the United States supreme
court in the oil decision was voiced
today by Henry George, Jr., who said:
I regard the Standard Oil decision
as being much the same as the court
handed down Just prior to the civil
war in the case of Fred Scott, a slave
The decision gave Maw to north and
n:gger to south.' The court now ap
pears to give law to the people and
immunity to the trusts. The court
through the majority of its members
aggregates to Itself a function of leg
islating as was clearly shown in the
biting criticism of Justice Harlan's
separate opinion. The Standard Oil
can now reorganize then on the plea
of operating only in reasonable re
straint of trade and can continue its
course of piracy. Four hundred oth
er other trusts which similarly oper
ate in the restraint of tade will simp,
lv hang .,n this interpretation of
the law.
"Hut they will answer nevertheless.
Either the law will be quickly amend
ed or the people will destroy the priv-
leges th trusts enjoy."

COUNTY SCHOOL
0 NAMED
Superintendent Welles Creates
New Board Authorized by
Last Legislature
TWO SUPERVISORS TO
BE APPOINTED SOON
New Law Aims to Improve Conditions
and Raise Standard of Rural
Schools by Giving Them More Su
pervisionWill Cost Taxpayers But
Little Says Welles Well Known
Men of County Appointed to Edu
cational Board.
Acting in accordance with the law
passed by the last legislature which
has for Its purpose the raising of the
standard of rural schools, Coun'y
School Superintendent Frank ' K.
Welles has Just created the Umatilla
County School Board, consisting of
the following members: Colonel H.
G. New port of Hermiston, J..B. Saylor
of Ferndale, Manuel Friedly of North
Cold Springs and Thomas Jaques of
Pilot Rock. All of these men are well
known citizens and have been prom
inently identified with things educa
tional for years.
The principal duty of the educa
tional board, of which the county su
perintendent is chairman, will be to
employ supervisors for the schools
and to make rules and regulations for
their guidance. The law provides
that one supervisor shall have juris
diction over the schools in not less
than twenty nor more than fifty dis
tricts. Thus Umatilla county can
have a minimum of two and a maxi
mum of four supervisors. At pres
ent it is the intention to employ the
minimum number as it is deemed suf
ficient to tcrt the merits of the new
law. These two sup rvisors will be
hired by the first of the month, in
fact m-' has already been tentatively
selected,
Ijiw Is Compulsory.
In .speaking of the new law. Coun
ty Superintendent Welles said:
"The new law makes it the duty of
the county superintendent to appoint
on or netore the first day of June a
county cd-jcatinal board of four mem
bers who will serve without pay.
"These men will meet from time
to time for consultation with the
county superintendent, and will bo
ailowed their necessary traveling ex
penses, not to exceed twenty-five dol
lars a year. They will assist me In
forming the supervisory districts, in
selecting the supervisors, and in many
other ways.
"All of the men whom I have ap
pointed on this board are strong sup
porters of the public schools. They
are well known, influential citizens,
and persons in whom I am sure the
people will have entire confidence. I
have selected two republicans and two
democrats, and have made the ap
pointments in such a manner that
each section of the county will have
a representative."
To Be In lleld All Time.
"The supervisors will have no office
work to perform as does the county
superintendent, and will spend their
entire time in visiting the schools and
assisting the teachers and' pupils In
the-'r work. This, together with the
school visits which are made by the
county superintendent will provido a
reasonably close supervision for all
of the schools. The supervisors are
to be paid by the county."
"Up to this time the only school in
Umatilla county which has "been close
ly superv.sed is the Pendleton dis
trict. For many years the law has re
quired districts of the first class to
employ a special supervisor. In Pen
dleton one man gives the whole of
his time to supervising about thirty
teachers. He is an expert in h:s line
and is paid a salary of $2250 per
year."
Pendleton's Superiority.
"In addition to the supervision given
by the city superintendent and the
county superintendent, each building
has a principal who assists in super
vising the teachers of his building.
Tho city schools haw not only
had this advantage over tho county
schools, hut as a rule the cities havo
employed the best and most exper
ienced teacher, while the country
districts have generally taken the
younger teachers, many of whom
have had neither special training nor
experience. Frequently the only vis
itor during the term has been the
county superintendent, as he has made
his official visit to the district. Thus
we have had about thirty teachers
I who have had the advantage of close
.supervision, and about 115 teachers
I who have not."
Will Owt nt Little.
i In speaking of the cost to the tax
l pavers e.f the inauguration of this new
-:e-i. Mr. Welles said:
"Umatilla cuunty is the s -nn,
county in tht- stat.- in wealth. A tax
of one-tenth of one m't! would prob
ahty more than pay for Mie supervi-
(Contlnued on paie lht)
