them for a long promised Joy ride
and following the regular Saturday

DON RADER. PENDLETON
BERTH WITH BOSTON
Don Rader, well known former
Pendleton high school, athlete, is
wanted by the Boston Americans, the
same baseball club that recently se
cured Tracey Raker, also an ex-hlgh
school star. Young Itader, who is
spending the summer at his old home
here, has Just received a letter and
contract from Frank L. Dickinson,
scout for the Boston Americans, in
which he Is offered $150 a month to
let him be, placed with one of the
Boston clubs for development as soon
as he desires to make his debut Into
professional ball.
Rader has had the offer under con
sideration but is a little reluctant
about entering the professional ranks.
Last spring ho finished Medford high
school and contemplated entering the
University of Oregon this fall. To
sign the contract would mean that
he could not enter college athletics,
which fact Is the principal obstacle
In the way of the wishes of the Bos
ton scout. Then, too, his father de
sires that he pass up this offer be
cause of his youth, so that It Is very
probable that he will not sign the
-contract
along on the road to Pilot Rock when
they came to the horseshoe curve on
the other fide of the Julius Guderlan
ranch. Here McDonald swerved his
car too sharply with the result that
one of the rear wheels collapsed and
the auto rolled down the bank, de
scribing a complete sommersault be
fore it reached the bottom.
According to Withee, a well' known
driver of the Pendleton Auto com
pany, an expert chauffer would have
prevented the catastrophe after the
collapse of the wheel by turning his
front wheels sharply. He estimates
that the auto, must have been travel
ing about thirty miles on hour at the
time of the accident.
All were Injured.
None of the occupants of the car
lumped but remained in their seats
as the huge machine turned turtle and
righted Itself. Had any of them been
caught between the backs of the seats
and the ground they would have been
crushed to death in an Instant.
When all had been rescued from
the wreck an inventory of the Injur
ies was taken. It was found that
Mrs. Barnes was the most severely
hurt, her back having been wrench
ed and one of lier legs badly brulsad.
Miss Whltworth received a cut on

printed the agreement between the
steel companies, in his testimony said:
"After President Houston of the
Lukens Iron and Steel company had

proofs .and copies we could find.
"He said that the president of the
Illinois Steel company made a mis
take in having It printed and that
they were afraid they might go to jail
if the agreement was discovered.
"Later my brother told me he had
a copy of the agreement."
A committeeman asked Chairman
Stanley if he could get a copy. He

RECORDED AT MILTON!
1
The third tragic death of the Mil-toii-Freewatcr
section of the county
during the past two months occured
last night when Mrs. Amanda Morse,
a widow lady, swallowed the contents
of a four ounce bottle of thenol, dy
ing immediately after from the effects
of the poison. She is supposed to
have been mentally unbalanced at the
time she took her own life.
Mrs. Morse was well known in the
east end of the county, according to
reports from there. She was the wid
ow of an old soldier and had lived
in Freewater many years. Recently
she had been in very poor health and
had told several of her friends that
she would never get well. The suicide
was committed about 9 o'clock and
her body was discovered several hours
later. She had carefully locked her
doors before swallowing the poison.
Coroner Folsom was notified but
deputised the Freewater justice of the
pence to make an Investigation.

timd in England's history a premier
was howled down when Premier As

the government's course on the
Lord's Veto bill, in the house of com

but his utterances were drown by
hisses and cries of "traitor." which
the conservatives kept up. The House
speaker was unable to preserve order.
When he could be heard, Asqulth
said If the veto bill did not pass,
that the lords and liberals would

I Extremists among the Tories have

lAsquith to carry out his threat of the
creation of new peers in sufficient
number to pass the bill. Mr. Balfour,
however, has announced that he will

ihave used their influence to induce
; the Conservatives to accept the Vete

the premier to create new peers. Mr.
Balfour asserts that to force Asquith's

pass any radical legislation without
difficulty.
