First art of Celebration Goes Off
Without Hitch.
With a great throng of people from
over tlie county on jllie streets early
in tho morning and with every train
bringing in others to swell the at
tendance, Pendleton's Fourth of July
celebration Is under way und prom
ises to be one grand success. The
popping of firecrackers and other
noises which 'attend the annual patri
otic jubilee began early nnd the din
lias continued with scarcely an inter
ruption throughout the morning.
All of the morning trains brought
great crowds into the city. The local
from Walla Walla and the east end
of the county carried an extra coach
as did the Northern Pacific train and
all of the cars ivere filled to capacity
Besides the regular motor from the
vest end. a steam train was put on
und both were crowded.
Hands MM Trains.
The local Hound-up Cowboy band
was on the streets early in their fron
tier costumes and as the big crowd
was emptying from the local, gave
several selections. The Athena band
came in on that train and formed In
time to meet the Northern Pacific Il
eal. Tho Panule.
Owing to the lateness of the ar
rival of the latter train, the parade
did not Mart until 10:43 but the
throng which lined the streets were.
patient. The parade was carried out
a.i p'aniud and It was a brilliant page
ant that wended its way along the
principal streets. One feature stood
out In striking contrast to Fourth of
July parades of the pnst, the absence
of the horse. With tho exception of
the band of cowboys which brought
up the rear, the noble animal went
without i (presentation.
The parade was headed by the
Athena band which was followed by
the car of the goddesses, liberty, Jus
tice, Peace, Plenty nnd War, repre
sented by the Misses Frances .Saling,
Claire Haley, Orace Flnnell, Alice
Fotsliaw and Viola Shea. Clad in the
flowing white robes with the four
Heated about the erect figure of Lib

came a bug string of automobiles
representing the states of the union.
Each car was filled with young girls
of the city, all clad In white nnd wear
ing the crown of the state they rep
resented. The Vrlus Winners.
After the autos came the bicycle

Only Meeting. Held for lrcsentatlons
of Kolgnatlons und Discussion of
Town Pump.
Hunnewell, Kas., July 4. At last
the city council here met with Mrs.
Ella Wilson, the mayor, last night.
This Is the first regular meeting the
aldermen have attended since she was
selected the head of the city govern
ment on April 1.
The meeting could hardly be called
a victory for the mayor.
Only two details or official business
were transacted. The resignation
of Alderman W. L. Lewis was accept
ed nnd a resolution providing for re
pairing the town pump was adopted.
This last bit of legislation was prac
tically forced upon the council. Since
the council last met the pump has
fallen into a bad state of repairs. It
Just had to be fixed.
Every appointment of the mayor

turned down. Mayor Wilson says she

Philadelphia, July i. Accused of
killing Earl Amann at Warren, Penn ,
on January 2, last, Mrs. Stella
Hodge of that place is held at police
headquarters here today, following a
hearing. John M. Andrews of War
ren, a lew days ago, was convicted
of murdering Amann, despite his vig
oious protests of innocence of the
crime.
H. (L Sili-ox, a Philadelphia detec
tive, testified ut the hearing that
Mrs. Hodge told him on the night of
the killing she went riding with Am
ann. Amann left the carriage to walk
to the reservoir where he worked, to
look things over. Mrs. Hodge said
she wus afraid to be alone in the
dark, nnd asked him if he had a re
volver. Amann handed her an auto
matic pistol and went away to at
ti nd to his duties. When he returned
t i the carriage the horse becaTiie I
frightened and Amann grabbed "the
bridle as she grabbed the reins, and
the gun was discharged.
Amann fell. Mrs. Hodge told t'.ie
detective, and she climbed out of the
carriage and ran to his side. Find
ing him apparently dead, she placed
the pistol beside his body. Next she ;
unhitched the horse and let It run
loose. Then she ran to her home.
The next morning, finding that i
everyone believed it was a case of '
suicide and fearing to compromise !
herself by telling of her ride, she de- j
elded to remain quiet. I
When Andrews was convicted last
w eek her conscience began to trouble i
hi r, and it was then an easy matter !
for the detective to get her dreadful ;
secret from her. John .Scarlet, An- j
drews' attorney, employed detectives
to watch the woman upon whom his
suspicion had fallen. She was ar- j
rested yesterday after being induced j
to go to Atlantic City, and following
the news of Andrews' convctlon, told
her story of the killing.

Agreement. Explained Satisfactory

Washington, July 4. That Germany
will not be far behind Great Britain
in her acceptance of the principle of
unrestricted arbitration of all issues,
including those involving national
honor, is regarded here practically a
certain, in view of recent develop
ments. When Count Von Bcrnstroff, the
German ambassador, departs for Ber
lin, it is expected he will be charged
with a new presentment of the ques
tion that will insure favorable con
sideration. From the first the German foreign
office has looked doubtfully upon the
proposition because It felt that while
Germany, under its terms, would be
absolutely forced to submit an Issue to
arbitration, the American govern
ment could avoid such responsibility
because the United States was priv
ileged to pass upon the Issue. A hasty
reading of the copy of the treaty sup
plied the foreign office through
Count Bernstroff confirmed this be
lief, hence there was no manifesta
tion by Germany of its purposes to
press negotiations.
It appears that there has been a
radical misunderstanding on this im
portant point. The treaty provides
that even after the action of the sen
ate upon a "pro-jet" or upon a defi
nition of the cvact ;r,its of the mat
ter to be arbitrated, the issue shall
not go to actual arbitration until
there has been an exchange of notes
between the two governments and an
objection by either to the form would
result in stopping the proceedings.
This point has been made clear to
the German ambassador and now it
is expected the way has been cleared
for adhesion of Germany to the con
vention. LAST .MIXITE SEES

were denied release on habeas corpus
proceedings by the state supreme
court.
Following the refusal of Superior
Judgn Lawlor a year ago. to dismiss
the cases for alleged lack of evidence
the railway officials surrendered
themselves to the sheriff and then pe
titioned, tho supreme court for re
lease. At the same time bail bonds
were filed with the upper court pend
ing the heaing. Thus the point that
the accused were "deprived of their
liberty." was technical, as the cjjrt
points out.
Vceiised at Liberty.
Justice I.orUaii -as th it the de
fendants surrendered themselves to
the sheriff to make out a case sup
port the issuance of a writ "contrary
to the .spirit, purpose and object of
the writ." He pointed out also that
habeas corpus is not the sole remedy
as claimed, since a writ of mandate
might have been applied for. But to
obtain such a writ, they must show
that trial court had failed In its legal
duty in refusing to dismiss the cases.
One of the curious effects of th
decision is that it leaves each of the
four applicants at liberty without
bail, which had been set at $125,000
In each case. They gave bonds in
this amount for appearance first in
the superior court and then In the su
preme court. It now remains for the
sheriff to rearrest them. Calhoun In
reported to be at his home in Cleve
land, Ohio.
