Hull of Record Los. Angeles, Cal.,
Nov. 4. Hurry Chandler, son-in-law
of General Otis, owner and publisher
-of the Los Angeles Times of which
the McKamaru brothers are charged
with having destroyed and himself
assistant publisher of tho Times, will
in all probability bo compelled to sub
mit to interrogation regarding his
luulifieat ons as a venireman In the
McNamara ease.
When lie appeared late yesterday
afternoon among the veniremen,!
Judge- Rnrdwcll refused to dismiss
him beiuu.se of the fact that he is
under subpoena of the prosecution.
Judge liorilwell contended that only
a person's qualifications are to be
considered in select ins the Jury.
Tho court did however excuse
Chandler until next Wednesday, when
it is likely that ho will have a valid
exouso for dismissal.
Twenty veniremen of the panel of
forty last summoned have qualified
for candidacy as Jurymen when the
trial resumes Monday.
It Is believed that the twelfth ve
nireman w 11 have found a place in
the Jury box Monday, when It is ex
pected that Clarence Barrow, attor
ney for the defence, will ask permis
sion of the court to further question
Venireman McKee on evidence that
has been secured since their first
challenge was overruled by Judge
Kurd well.
Judging from their credentials, the
court will not grant tho request and
then the peremptory challenges will
begin, to eliminate objectlonal men
from the Jury box.
Villous Win Temporarily.

authorities today temporarily lost
their battle, to obtain the documents

ney, Immediately filed nn appeal to

It decision the documents won't go
to the federal authorities.

"Every authority who has looked

He declared that Senator Iorimor

He sill several friends Tkewise

COL HOFER SAYS BIG
FARMS ARE MENACE
Col. E. Hofer, well known Oregon
Journalist and one of the candidates
for the republican nomination for
governor in 1911, was in the city to
day on his way to Pilot Hock where
ho delivers a lecture tonight on the
"Higher Civilization of the Commu
nity." Colonel Hofer advocates in
dustrial education and dividing up
the larrer tracts of land a the nnly
permanent remedies for Imperfect so
cial conditions. He says the present
system of puhpe education that leaves
our youth untrained in any kind of
manual labor unrelated to Industry,
and v.i'h n serious purpose In lifo
but to I've without work is dangerous
to society and ruinous to the individ
ual. He does not say how he would;

must be found to break up the large
hcld'ngs that were secured by legis
lative grants at from one to three
dollars an ncre and are now held nt
twenty to forty dollars an ncre by
combinations and corporations. Ho
believe a weapon for the redistribu
tion of the lands can be found in the
initiative and referendum amendment
to the constitution. The larger hid
ings of two to f vo hundred thousand
and evn millions of acres blo;k the
development of the state. Settlers

Hofer talks to the Young Men's club

board of engineers had the right to
appropriate tho money for reclama
tion subject to tho approval of the
president. The president approved
the report which omitted any appor
tionment for the Umatilla project,
and, consequently, tho president is
the only one who can make a change
In the report. In public Interest the
projoct should bo completed. It Is
so much farther ahead of others and
so worthy. I believe that an appor
tionment on a basis of $500,000 a year
for eight years would complete tho
work and not interfere with any other
project.

Capt. II. M. St. Cyr. the most reck
less, daredevil engineer that ever op
ened a throttle and who is known in
Pendleton by all old timers. Is back
in the city after an absence of nine
teen years during which time his
career has been less spectacular than
in the days when he startled the
world in eastern Oregon by his Bpeed
mania. H s appearance is but little
changed since those pioneer days, his
ha:r is just as long and black, his
moustuchioR iind goatee Just as fierce,
his eye just as kern and It doesn't
take much of a student of character
to read in him a man of iron nerves
and Indomitable courage
Since leaving Pendleton in 1S92.
'apt. St. Cyr has been in all parts of
the world adding chapters to his ad
venturous h'story. He has made and
lo.-t two fortunes in the mining busi
ness and declares he will make an
other before he takes his "farewell
journey to the promised land."
His Wild Hide Remembered.
St. Cyr Is best remembered here for
tho wild ride he made in nn engine
down the mountain from Kamela to
prevent a terrible collision.
It was in 1892 that he helped pull
a manifest train from this city to Ka
mela. A special with Conductor
Halyntlne and Engineer Moore in
charge, had orders to meet another
train at Hilgard, twelve miles away.
The other train was then on its way
we.-t with orders to meet the special
at Kamela. That constituted what
railroad men call a lap order and
dread as much as anything in the
world. In other words, both trains
had pas-ed the last stations where
they could be stopped and were rush
ing headlong into each nth
Six Miles in Tour Minutes.
As soon as he discovered his ter
rible error, the dispatcher at Kamela
rushed out and tried to persuade two

HAD CORRECT NEWS
In a telephone communication to
the Fast Oregotiian to. lay W. J. Fur
nish said that the news story in this;
paper yesterday, under the Stanfiold ;
date line, special correspondence, set,
forth correctly the facts regarding!
the listing of the Furnish project i
lands with F. L. Sherwood of Spo-
kane. According to Mr. Furnish an-
other story published here purport
ing to set forth such news was high
ly exaggerated and out of proportion.
The following is the story as it ap
peared in this paper yesterday:

colonizer, whose headquarters are at
Spokane, has been r.t Stanfield this

views of the lands which will demon
strate the improvements that have
been made therein.

Victim of Suspected
Woman
Attack of illness Defers Arrest of Wo
man Accused of Killing at Least
Ten Different People.
I'hhngn, Ills, Xov. 4 Convinced
that the body of Richard Smith4 a
former railroad conductor who died
mysteriou ly at Mr- Louisa Vermil
ya's home, March 11, either will con
firm or disprove the police theory
that the nine- persons who died there
were arsenic victims. Coroner Hoff
mann and Dr. Laconte, a post-mortem
expert, went to North Henderson,
Ills., today to exhume his body.
Smith's death symptoms were sim
ilar to those of previous deaths of a
policeman, Mrs. Vermilya's two
daughters, one son, one step-son and
two friends.
Xo di"ect evidence connects the
woman with the series of deaths. She
reiterates Tier innocence and declares
that if the policeman died of poison
he must have taken it himself.
The woman who is suspected of the
murder of PolVeman Bissonettl, an
other lodger, has not yet been served
with a warrant, because she is ill with
pneumonia, but the police are guard
ing her.
F
From a wealthy farmer of this
county to a penniless suicide was the
descent made by Chris Simpson, who
was found dead in Insland City near
La Grande Thursday. He had drank
from a bottle of horse liniment and
so plain were the evidence of suicidal
intent that an inquest was considered
unnecessary.
Ten years or more ago, the decens
e I operated a hi? farm in this county
and was generally considered well to
do. Later he left the farm for the
turf and it is aid that he lost heavily
in the race horse business. He has
been a resilient of Island City for sev
eral years and of late had been em
ployed as a teamster. Poverty and
despondency coupled with excessive
use of alcoholics is the combination
which led to his self-destruction.
He leaves a wife and several chil
dren, the eldest of whom is a son
who is engaged in the farming busi
ness in Alberta.

Shanghai, China, Xov. 4. Order in
general prevails here, following the
capture of the native city by the Chi
nese rebels. Only the foreign conces
sion is not controlled by the revolu
tions who are organizing a new mu
nicipal government.
Reports of the battle of Hankow of
October 31, rece'veu here today, show
that 1500 itnpcrial'sts fell and that the
battle was one of the bloodiest of the
revolt.
The imperialist defeat came after
they had massacred men, women and
chi'dren in the Chinese section of the
city af.er the first rebel reverse.
It is feared that Wesleyan Mission
near Har river, which sheltered fif
teen blind boys and twenty five
wounded persons has been destroyed
in Hankow.
The capture of Shanghai was ac-compli-hed
with on'y ten killed after
the rebels won the fight, Admiral
Murdock landed with his American

Premier Yuan wired that General Li !
has consented to a truce and the two '
will meet at Hankow today in an at- j

General Li's agreement to a truce
it Is believed resulted from the adop- 1
tion of nineteen articles by the na-!

to found a new Chinese constitution j
but it Is unknown whether the rebels
will agree to one article, which says
the Manchus shall reign forever. j

European Powers Preparing

London, Xov. 4. Telegrams receiv

an English army attache in Tripoli,
states that the Italians are commlting
the most horrible and atrocious out
rages on helpless women and chil
Jien. In r;ne house, which had been cap
tured from the Italians, It was found
that they had, before retreating,
murdered, mutilated and horribly
torn 120 women and children.
In another building was found, fill
ed with the bodies of hundreds of
women and children, who had been
similarly treated by the bloodthirsty
Italians.
Lieutenant Montague, says that
these are cases which came under
his personal observation, and that nu
merous other like outrages are con
tinually reported from other sections.
He states that the Italians are evi
dently using this jnethod of revenge
for their recent heavy losses, inflict
ed by the Turks and Arabs in fair
battle. He appeals to England to do
something to stop this wanton slau
ghter. Powers Protest to Italy, '
London. Nov. 4. Indications are
that the alleged Itnllan cruelt'es in
Tripoli may cau e a concerted demand
by the powers that Italy observe the
rules of civilized warfare, according
to reports received here today. Some
of the powers have sent notes to their
various foreign officials regarding the
matter and declaring that the Ital
ians Tiave violated the Geneva treaty,
which insured non-combatants immu
nity from death and prisoners of
war freedom from torture.
British correspondents, returning
from the seat of war, report many
Italian massacres of women and chil
dren and dispute the denials of Pre
