DRAYAGE BUSINESS
VERY COMPLICATED
Hereafter, when a family In the
city changes Its place of residence,
thnt fact will be recorded In tho of
fice of Recorder Fitz Gerald or If a
man should happen to hire a dray to
transfer some of his personal effects
to some other place in the city, h
must notify the driver of tho dray
whether or riot such transfer means
that he Is leaving the elty or chang
ing his domicile or what not. If he
doesn't furnish such Information up
on reqqucst, the poor drayman Is
doomed to pay a fine of ten dollars
or less, for it Is so written in on or
dlnanco passed by the council last
right.
Tho ordinance in question is one
substituted for the one recently in
troduced in the council through agi
tntlon by tho regular draymen for a
city law that would not permit any
man to haul .baggage, passengers,
merchandise or anything else for hire
or compensation without first obtain
ing a license. The clause relating to
the change of residence was tacked
on to the substitute presumably to nld
tho merchants to keep careful tab up1
on their debtors It requires a dray
mnn to appear at the office of the
city recorder within throe days after
he has hauled household goods or
baggage from one part of the city to
another and to file Information re
gnrdlng such transfer.
The main part of the ordinance
simply provides for tho licensing of
teams and wagons hauling for hire,
exempting only such vehicles as are
hauling grain, hay or other farm
produce, freight wagons hauling mer
chandise through the city or teams
conveying building material Into the
city or about the city for city im

El Paso, Feb. 15. El Pas'o
and Juarez wer thrown in,to
an uproar today when Mexican
guards arrested a squad of
eighteen American cava'.rymen,
who to save time, passed from
one international bridge to an-
other over Mexican territory.
Street cars were stopped while

Mexico City, Mex., Feb. 15. Thirty
seven federal troops today were killed
when a train on which they were be
ing transported crashed through the
Ixtla bridge over the Amasusa river
in the state of Guerrero, which ha2
been destroyed by the rebels who
blew it up with dynamite. Another
bridge was also destroyed in the
same manner by the rebels.
RclKis Surround Torreon.
Dispatches which have been
ceived here today from Torreon
re
in-
dicatu that that city is surrounded by
a revolutionary force which threatens
t- destroy the town.
More than four hundred American
citizens last night chartered a special
train on which they fled from the city,
and no news has been received con-
erning them since they started. Grave
fears are felt for' the safety of the
party. ,
Torreon is believed to be doomed
unless General Trevino, who is in com
mand of a federal force of fifteen hun
rhcr men, can arrive at the scene
within a short time, as the garrison
there Is wholly insufficient to with
stand an assault by the rebels.
RclKis Defeat Federals.
Terrific fighting was today re
sumed at Santa Maria where the fed
eral troops have been trying since
yesterday to dislodge a large force of
Zapatistas.

ment and revolutionary forces at
Cahto Barrero, fifty seven federals
were killed and the battle was won
bv the rebels who looted the entire
own and slaughtered a large num
ber of residents.

EASTERN OREGON BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
IS NOW WITH PENDLETON HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
Tn the fastest and hardest fought!
basketball game held on a local floor
for several years, the Pendleton high
school quintet last night won the
eastern Oregon championship by de
feating tho crack M. I. A. team of La
Grande by the score of 26 to 25.
The visitors were much heavier
than the local boys and they combin
ed speed and science with their
weight, making them most formidable
opponents. Their stylo of play, how
ever, lacked a great deal of being as
clean ns that of the scholastics and
It was this element that probably
contributed mostly to their defeat.
Indeed, had It not have been for the
combination . of repeated fouls. Um
pire Sturdlvnnt's vigilant eye and the
remarkable lability of Houser to
convert the fouls into points, the Pen
dleton team would have probably
come out with the smaller score. Ten
points were added to tho local string
In that manner while La Grande got
but three by the same route.
The first half ended 14 to 11 In
TAFT A FIVE CENT ACTOR

houses.

showing the president and his men
at work at their desks and these will
be the first to be sent out broadcast
over the country.
CHINAMAN MURDERED
OR KILLED HIMSELF
Coroner Ascertains That
Wong Tong Died of
Hanging
Fellow Countryman First Rooorts
Natural Death and I.ater Declares
Man Suicided.
Wong Fong. the celestial who was
reported to have died In the city
Tuesday night, did not succumb to
a disease but died a violent death by
hanging and is either the victim of
a suicide or a murder. This was the
startling discovery made this morn
ing by Coroner Ralph Folsom and he
will probably hotd an inquest to de
termine the responsibility of the
crime.
Coroner Folsom was summoned
yesterday morning to take charge of
tho body of the dead Chinaman, his
countrymen In the wash house on
Railroad street telling the undertak
er that the man had been suffering
from a disease for a long time and
h-r) finally died from it.
This morning, however, Glen Stur
divant, Coroner Folsom's assistant,
heard it rumored about that the Chi
naman had been hanged. Examining
the body with the coroner, the marks
of a rope about the man's throat were
plainly to be seen and the two men
became convinced that the rumors
were based on the truth.
Coroner Folsom this morning went
to the house from where the body
had been takpn and confronted the
onlv Chinaman there with the nn-
nounccment of hisa discoverv. If h
Is trniltv of murder' his impassive face i
failed to betray the fact. "Yes," he
answered, "him sick, him hang him-
self." This was all that could be
learned from him beyond the state
ment that he himself had cut the
body down.
Coroner Folsom believes that the
facts of the case coupled with the
undercurrent of strife between Pacific
coast Chinese tongs, warrants a thor
ough Investigation and will probably
impanel a jury.
CREDIT ASSOCIATION
CEASES TO EXIST
The Credit Men's association, an
organization of merchants formed
several years ago for the purpose of
giving rating as to credit to the dif
ferent people who mnko Pendleton
their trading point, has censed to ex
ist, tho merchants concluding that it
had outlived its usefulness inasmuch
as a Portland mercantile protective
association with branches all over the
United States, has worked the field
so suuccepsfully that the purpose of
the local association was better sub
served. The announcement of the dissolu-
j tlon of the organization was formally
mode this morning.
Pendleton's favor.
With the local boys in the lead,
the second half opened at a terrific
pace. Tho La Grande men set the
pace and for the first few minutes
swept the local players off their feet
and soon took the lead. For fully
ten minutes Captain Jordan and his
men failed to annex a point except
through fouls but managed to keep
close beside the Union county shoot
ers by this method. However, during
he last ten minutes after Houser
had hooked In a beautiful basket.
they started a fierce rally which kept
the La Grando men from making any
more points. During this period the
ten men were chasing across the floor
at breakneck speed, lightning passes
were made and the ball was hardly
allowed to touch tho floor.
Points for Fendleton were made as
follows: Houser 16, Strain 8. Jor
dan 2; for La Grande, Hollister 4
Llndsey 8, Bean 6, Woods 7.

Just as I expected, In view of the
testimony that I gave to the federal

ment of justice from any connection
with the dynamite conspiracy, today

INDIANS DELAY
TRANSFER OF LAND
Temporarily held up by the protest
of a few Indians on the reservation, '
the bill authorizing the sale of about
200 acres of scab land near the
Thorn Hollow springs to the city of
Pendleton will probably again be put
upon the skid roads to passage when
a resolution passed by the council
last night reaches Washington.
The water commissioners were yes
terday notified by Senator Chamber
lain that the bill was delayed In the
committee room through receipt of
a protest from the redmen, which
protest was based upon the alleged
fact that Pendleton did not need the
land asked. A resolution setting
forth the need of the land was at
once drafted and upon the urgence of
Chairman Brown and Commissioner
Moore was passed unanimously last
' right.
The land in question is absolutely
worthless for crop purposes and is un
allotted because of its little value.
But, ns pointed out by Chairman
Grown last night, It is necessary that
the city own It in order that the
Thorn Hollow springs be kept free
from contamination.
