Political circles this afternoon were astound ed by the report, credited to Taft leaders, that the president Is deter mined to force Colonel Roosevelt into the open, in a contest for the presidential nomination. ' The rumor, which white house attaches would not discuss, was that Secretary Hilles Is enroute to New York to tell Colonel Roosevelt that President Taft will withdraw If Roosevelt is really a candidate for renominatlon. . It is believed that Hilles is first to confer with Otto Barbard, a New York banker, who was a New Years guest at the white house. Hilles then will go to see Roosevelt. If the latter Is a candidate it Is said, President Taft will say he Is not a candidate. Otherwise he will remain in the race even if Colonel Roosevelt is backing La Follette. ' PROGRESSIVES SWARM OVER TAFT'S STATE Waging Bitter War to . Win Ohio Delegates for La Follette Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 2. Headed by Gifford Pinchot and Senators Clapp and Works, a dozen progressives of national repute are spread out over the state, continuing the fight for pro gressive principles and Senator LaFol lette. They will remain in the state most of this week. All La Follette's friends declare themselves satisfied with the action of the progressive conference here. The committee went on record indi vidually by a ratio of seven to one, as favoring La Follette's presidential candidacy, but did not endorse him as an organization, as La Follette had requested. Taft Is Alarmed. Washington, D. C, Jan. 2. Not withstanding the attempt in adminis tration circles to create the impres sion that President Taft's campaign for another nomination Is proceeding along the lines desired, it has re mained for the president to give evi dence of his fear that Senator La Fol lttte will deprive him of that honor. The progressive republican 'cam paign committee has known all along that in Ohio there exists a progres sive sentiment which is so strong that if the president remains In the race for the presidential nomination he will find himself In the exceedingly embarrassing position of going into the republican convention without a solid delegation from his own state. The administration up to a few days ngo sought to give the impression that this progressive sentiment was a mere flurry. Senator La Follette's speech es in Ohio, however, have so thor oughly cemented the sentiment against Taft that the president's advisers have at least been forced to admit the ne cessity of sending the president back home in the hope that he can stem the tide which long ago turned against him. It would be impossible to over-esti mate the advantage of the progressive cause in going into the national con vention with a very large percentage of the delegates from President Taft's state. In strongcontrast to the feeling of hostility toward President Taft in his own state will be the un animous support which will be accord ed Senator La Follette by the dele gatlon from Wisconsin. On the one hand will be the president of the Unit ed States, unable to control his own delegation, and on the other will be Senator 1a Follette, not only sup ported by the delegates from "his own slate but also supported by those from Ohio. CUPID MAKES POOR SHOWING HERE IN SPRINGTIME BUT GETS RESULTS IN Spring marriages are not popular In Umatilla county despite the age worn theory that the time of birds and flowers is the most productive of holy alliances between man and wo man, a consultation of the records at the county court house proving that the latter months of the year 1911 have been far more satisfactory to little Dan Cupid than those In which a young man's fancy is supposed In poetic circles to. turn loveward. June, the far-famed month of wed dings, only led seventeen couples in this county to the altar, while cold, bleak December, the period when the heart fires are credited with burning low and the passions with being in hibernation, eclipsed all of its eleven predecessors with 29 licenses Issued, or an average of more than one for each judicial day. The three other high months from the marriage point of view were the three Immediately preceding Decem ber, September ranking second with 27. .October third with 3. and No vember fourth with 19, all of which seems to indicate that the swains of the great wheat county believe In the sentiments of the old song, "When the Harvest Days Are Over, Nellie, Dear." , A total of 207 licenses were Issued In the twelvemonth just past, the TEDDY IS CANDIDATE ECONOMY WILL BE NEW MAYOR'S AIM To Cut Expenses and prove Affairs of the City Im- "Economy" is to be the keynote of the new city administration, accord ing to Mayor Matlock who yesterday took the reins of government from tho hands of the retiring mayor, E.

"Wherever It is possible to cut down expenses in any department I Intend to make an attempt to do so in order to maintain the city on a sound bas is." Speaking further on his policy. May or Matlock declared he Intended to fulfill all of his pre-election promises and to live up to his platform as an nounced to the voters before they cast their ballots.

The new mayor will preside over his first meeting of the new council tonight, which meeting will however not be an official one. It will be in the form of a caucus to determine the appointive officers of the city. Indications today continue to fa vor T..B.

Parkes will be in the running. Other men mentioned for the position are G. W. Coutts, "Billy" Chamber lain, Norbourne Berkeley and Harry Bickers.

Not I'pto Last Lear. ' Despite the fact that many more Pendleton couples abandoned the ways or me single during the year 1911 than during the year 1910, the county as a whole did not furnish as many license fees as its predecessor. During 1910, the county clerk grant ed 258 of the little passports or S3 more than he did in 1911. December of that year, like the one Just past, claimed high honors, 33 li censes having been Issued during the course of its 31 days. Sixty Divorce Suits, But while the divinity of marriage has been claiming his annual toll, the god of marital discord has not been Inactive, but. on the other hand, has been on the Job all the time. Through his agency sixty divorce suits have been filed in the local court and, while but about two thirds that num ber of decrees have been granted, It shows that sufficient domestic tin happiness exists within the bounds of the county to require an Ella Wheeler Wilcox or a Dorothy Dix to ascertain the why and wherefore and to penograph registered an earthquake of remedial prescriptions. RUSSIANS STILL MURDER Bayonet and Drag Bodies of Hanged Persian Patriots. Tabriz, Persia, Jan. 2. Fearful re prisals, by Russian troops, continued today and eight more Persian patri ots were hanged because they tried to oppose the invasion of their country by the Russians without the formality of declaring war. Their bodies were dragged through the streets and repeatedly bayonetted by the Russians and it is feared that hundreds of others will be treated in a similar manner, to show that Rus sia will not tolsrate any opposition. It is firmly believed in official cir cles that the Russians have planned to hang eight Persians every day un til their lust for blyood will have been thoroughly satisfied. Sit on Dead Body. Oakland. Cal. "All night long I sat on the body." said Captain John Ev ans of the schooner Rock Island when giving himself up for the death of Peter Gessen, his only deckhand, whom he had choked to 'ath.
