DYNAMITE CAPS
ARE AGAIN FOUND
Who Is responsible for the dyna
mite caps being found on the street
and Is their appearance the result of
carelessness or malicious Intent?
These questions arose several weeks
ngo when several of the harmless
looking little explosives were found
near the Pendleton hotel and they
arose again this morning when Chief
of Police Gurdane picked up one in
front of the city hall.
While the caps are so Insignificant
In appearance they are highly de
structive and would cause consider
able damage and injury In all prob
ability should they be struck by a
steel wagon tire or the Iron shod hoof
ftf a horse.
: The opinion of the officers la that
the caps have fallen from the pockets
of some careless laborer who has
been working with dynamite and, to
prevent a: repetition of such danger
ous negligence they are making a
searching lnulry to find the person or
persons responsible.

TAFT OFFERS TO WITHDRAW FROM RACE
FOR PRESIDENT IF
Washington, Jan. 2. 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

duct the affairs of the city in a business-like
manner," said. the new chief
executive of Pendleton in speaking
with a representative of this paper.
"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

the form of a caucus to determine the
appointive officers of the city.
Indications today continue to fa
vor T..B. Gurdane, the present in
cumbent, for chief of police while the
present holder of the position of re

are G. W. Coutts, "Billy" Chamber
lain, Norbourne Berkeley and Harry
Bickers.

the Russian treaty. France and Rus
sia are closely allied and France re

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

Inactive, but. on the other hand, has

his agency sixty divorce suits have
been filed in the local court and,
while but about two thirds that num

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

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.
"In my nrnd I went ov. the strug
gle, seeking to think of some other
means by wh'ch I could have subdued
him without killing him. I put into
Oakland and, on my wife's advice,
gave myself up."
Gessen, thought to have been craz
ed by liquor, attacked the skipper
shortly after they put to sea.

should be held equally responsible."
Governor Marshall first broached
the matter at the Jackson club ban
quet last night. Today he amplified
his remarks by saying:
"This would be a step In the so
lution of the 'big business' problem.
Lawyers should be made assesscries

violation of the anti-trust laws. In
case the trust Is proven guilty the
lawyer should also, the same as a
