MAKi: AXXI AI, REPORT
Atlanta. On.. Nov. 13. At the
thirty-first annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor, in ses
sion in this city today, tile officers'
reports were submitted
President Samuel Gompcrs in con
cluding hl-s report, which was lengthy
and went into detail in ev( rv craft
said:
"Despite nil opposition of the most
relentless kind the American labor
movement grows and thrives; its ben
eficent influence for the common up
lifting of labor and of all our people
extends to all fields of useful activ
ity and is becoming more generally
recognized. Tho power which labor
holds within its grasp is understood
by our opponents as well as aye,
perhaps better than by many of the
toilers themselves."
Mr. Farrow's invention is the product
of thirty years of thought and labor,
the beginning of which was from ob
servations made while commander of
tho scouts in this part of the World.
Soldiors in camp demonstraing their
"spiritualistic" power.' by making a
table move with only fhe ends of their
fingers, eagles and buzzards soaring
without a flutter of their wings and
tho strange performance of a Uma
tilla medicine man started a train of
thought In the boy-lieutenant's mind
wh'ch Ins lead to a most important
invention.
. By on electric apparatus which he
terms a "condensing dynamo," Far
row claims he can suspend or neutral
ize the force of gravity. This device
placed on an aeroplane or balloon, he
claims, will prevent Its fall to the
earth when an accident occurs in the
air. '
It Is the possible application of the
Invention to aerial warfare that has
Interested United States army engi
neers In It and they are now conduct
ing experiments to determine Its val

FOR ROUNDUP
Election to be Held Tuesday
Evening in City Hall As

DIRECTORS CALL MEETING
Proposed Amendment to Constitution
Drafted by Governing. Body and
Will be Submitted to Stockholders
With Schvtions of Officers.
Tomorrow evening in the. assem
bly room of tho city hall will be de
cided the personel of the crew which
will direct the Round-Up during the

holders of the Northwest Frontier
Exhibition association has been call
ed for that time and place for the

directors urge that every stockholder
be In attendance that his voice may
be lifted in the decisions to be made.
If an amendment to the constitu
tion made yesterday at a meeting of
the board of directors be ratified by
tho stockholders, there will be but
eleven directors elected Instead of fif
teen, the present number. Some of
the departments, separate this year,
can In the future be combined without
imposing too much work on one man,
according to the opinion of the direc
tors and It Is to this end that the
amendment seeks.
To Abolish Board of Control.
Abo, the present directors believe
that the board of control should be
abolished and the board of eleven di
rectors have the complete control of
the Round-Up and this change is in
corporated in the amendment. Also
the amendment seeks to give the
stockholders power to elect the eleven
directors and to leave for these di
rectors-elect the privilege of naming
their own officers.
Seven Directors Retire.
At the meeting yesterday, seven of
tho officers and directors of the past
year declared their intention of re

8 PROBABLE JURORS

Favor of Defense
Once
in
General Otis' Severely Criticized for
Intention to Dedicate Monument
Before Trial Begins.
Los Angeles, Nov. 13. With three
permanent and three temporary ju
rors in the box, the McNamara trial
resumed today with District Attorney
Fredericks striving to eliminate Alex
ander Gribling, a civil war veteran,
who said he had been swindled by
the Los Angeles Times and dinn't
favor circumstantial evidence.
Fredericks challenged Gribling for
implied bias and after Clarence Dar
row said the prosecution was simply
trying to save a perempti ry challenge.
Judge Bordwell diisalloned the chal
lenge. It Is expected the sixth panel will
be drawn this afternoon as only nine
of the fifth are loft.
Both sides are exercised over the
announced Intention of General Otis
to dedicate a monument to 20 of the
21 persons who lost their lives In the
Times explosion, next Wednesday.
It s admitted that this will revive
tho hard feelings, engendered by the
original charges and counter charges
and also make it more difficult to se
cure jurors. Even General Otis'
friends are rriticizing him.
Robert Burdette, the preacher
whose funeral oration caused a dis
t'net sensation, because of the lan
guage used to denounce organized la
hor and its officers, will make the
chief address at the dedication.
The defense passed T. J. Green n

gated by the prosecution when lunch

PENDLETON-BAKER GAME ENDS SEASON
OF FOOTBALL IN EASTERN OREGON
Bringing the football season to a
climax in eastern Oregon just as the '
Harvard-Yale game does in the east,
as the Stanford-California game does j
on the coast and as the Oregon-Washington
game does in the northwest, is I
tlie Pendleton-Baker game which will
be played at Round-l'p Park next Fri
day afternoon and over which the lo
cal football world is all agog.
Since ages remote when the inflat
ed pigskin first became a part of the
academic curriculum in this part of
the commonwealth, the annual clash
on the gridiron between the stalwarts
of the Pendleton and Baker high
schools has been paramount in inter
est and enthusiasm for the reason
that there nre no colleges in eastern
Oregon and hence the high school !
teams must act na the safety valves
for the relief of the high pressure
among tho fans.
Rivalry Is Intense.
Intense rivalry exists between tho
two schools and for their battle each
year their teams are carefully
groomed. All other games may be
lost without a grimace but the defeat
In this contest is a dose so bitter that

Portland. Ore., Nov. 13. Stranded
one hundred yards off the shore of
Northead, near the mouth of the Co
lumbia river, two members of her
crew carried to their deaths by be
ing washed overboard by a mammoth
wave and the surf chopped to a ter
rific state with little hope of the In
creasing gale subsiding, it seems cer
tain that the steam schooner Wash
ington with forty-eight other mem
ber sof her crew and passenger car
go are doomed to destruction.
A torrential rain, driven by a ter
rfic gale, has driven back all at- ,
tempts of the life pavers of Point
Adams and Cape Disappointment, to
reach the distressed vessel and other
craft cannot get within even hailing
distance of her. The lifesavers are
desperately trying to shoot a line to
the ship, but their efforts at noon to
day had been without success.
The Washington left Portland Sat
urday for San Francisco, laden with
lumber and a passenger list of thirty.
She struck on the Columbia rivn- bar
yesterday afternoon oner leaving As

the Washmgton Saturday night were:

Sure Death Apjtarcnt.
' North Head, Ore., Nov. 13. It
looks like many. If not all, aboard
the Washington will perich. The
steamer's fires are out and she is
helpless. The gale is blowing the
ship toward the rocks of the Head.
Life savers will shoot a line as soon
as she is within distance, hoping to
rescue the people by breeches buoy.
Captain Stuart and lifesavers to
day carted a big isle gun to the
beach from Fort Canby and are ready
this afternoon to shoot a line to tho
Washington at the turn of the tide.
The weather is moderating and
v bile the chances are slim for rescue,
and launches this afternoon,
they will make a trial with the gun.
The vessel is holding together
Fplendidly ami is drifting toward
shore.
Several of the passengers were en

tho essence of gall and wormwood
is a honey brew in comparison. It
so happens this year as in many past
years that the approaching game will
in oil probability decide the cham
pionship of eastern Oregon. Certain
ly if the local gladiators get the vic
torious margin they can fly the
champion flag but if tho boys from
the mining town are the conquerors,
their title to high honors In this part
of the state 'will be disputed by La
Grande because of the scorless game,
which was played last Saturday.
For Friday's contest, the local
school is making extensive prepara
tions for one great day. A gigantic
rally will be held Thursday night so
that the townspeople may bo propely
appaised of tho event of the morrow
and that rooters may be in-tilled with
the proper amount of enthusiasm. An
automobile parade to take place Just
before tho game is also being arrang
ed and the students have yet other
stunts by which they intend to ad
vertiso their most Important struggle
of the year.
