ELKS FIRST PERFORMANCE IS A ROARING
SUCCESS NEW PROGRAM FOR TONIGHT
Filled to the brim with sparkling
joy, bubbling over with effervescent
mirth and teeming with the things
that touch tho tickle nerves of an au
dience, the first night's performance
of the Elks' minstrel was a roaring
success thereby fulfilling all of the
advance clnims of the many boosters
of the merry event. Under' the ca
pable direction of Jack Keefe, a mon
ster chorus had been trained to shoot
big bursts of melody over tho foot
lights, eight ebony end men had
been skilled In tho use of darkey ac
cent in the cracking of tholr Joke
' nuts, a group of soloists had been pre
pared to give tho audience some real
musical gems, both ragtime and clas
sic, and a whole bevy of features had
been collected to make up an enter
tainment of variety and excellence.
Tho program was full of real ripe
hits from first to last. Perhaps the
biggest scream of the evening was the
" "baby doll" song In which "Fat"
Graham with his 250 pounds of solid
avordupois was tho doll and Leo D.
Drake as a comical little darkey, tha
soloist. But . this Utile stunt, while
It caught the fancy of the big audi
ence, did not overshadow the other
features. Roy Buchanan with his
"Mysterious Rag" made a noise and
a movement that won him a home,
Jim Estes in hia song "Listen to That
Junglo Band," gave the spectators a
few happy moments, Jack Gibson
san "Lord, How He Can Love," and
received a real ovation, while Clarence

T. R. SAFE FOR 3RD
TERM, SAYS OUTLOOK
Magazine Declares Colonel
Is Not Pledged A
gainst It
New Tork, Feb. 16. Discussing re
cent proceeding in congress relative
to the anti-third term resolution, the
current issue of Tho Outlook signi
ficantly discusses Colonel Roosevelt's
statements of 1904-06 when he re
fused to become a presidential can
didate again. Owing to the colonel's
connection with the magazine, it Is
belcved It reflects his present views.
In part It says:
"Those thinking It ungate, to elect
a president for a third term, should
recall the fact that objections to a
third term were formulated against
a third consecutive term."
Then It says that a man elected
after four or eight years has elapsed,
has not the body of office holders be
hind him and does not have the power
of patronage, but stands on the same
footing with any" other citizen.
It says that whatever the colonel
said then, referred to three consecut
ive terms.
The editorial then poos on to say
that Colonel Roosevelt does not be
lieve in a third consecutive term and
Infers that a third term, however, is
not objectionable.
The Outlook discussion ends thus:
"The situation perhaps can 'be made
clearer by following a homely illus
tration; when a man pays at break-,
fast. 'No thank yonl I wont take any
more coffee,' it does not mean that
he wont take any more coffee to
morrow, next week or next year."

UNIDENTIFIED
U KILLED
Motor Car Conductor Makes
Grewsome Discovery From
Speeding Car.
MURDER OR ACCIDENT?
Uo.Iy Found at Rase of Cliff Near
liarnlinrt and Invevtigutloii Reveal
Deep Gash on Head Coroner In
vestigating;. With a deep gash in one side of
the head, the body of an unidentified
man was discovered this morning
near Barnhart by Conductor Cherry
of tho Umatilla-Pendleton motor car
and evidences indicate either a mur
der or a trayic accident, more prob
ably the latter. Coronrr Folsom was
notified of the discovery and left
about noon in a buggy to secure the
body.
While the motor car was Bpeeeding
toward this city shortly before 11
o'clock and when about a mile this
w'de of Rarnhart, Conductor Cherry
noticed the figure of a prostrate man
at the foot of a high bluff near where
th? old line ran. At first he gave no
thought to the matter, but finally
something about the posture of the
figure moved him to stop his car and
investigate. Walking over to the spot
he found that the man was dead and
the gah In the head indicated to him
that death had resulted from a violent
blow. '
Does Not Relieve It's Murder.
However, Mr. Cherry is not inclin
ed to believe the man was a victim of
a murder but thinks rather that he
either fell over the blurt in the dark
or had gone to sleep at the foot of the
b'uff and had been struck in the head
by a rock dislodged by the violent
wind of last night The cold embers
of a campfire ab'mt four feet from
the body makes the last explanation
more tenable.
The conductor made no investiga
tion to ascertain the .identity of the
dead man, but states that his clothes
would indicate he was a laborer.
Leaving the body Just as he found it,
he ran his car on until he came to a
house where he stopped to send a
man back to remain with the body
until the authorities could arrive.
Reaching this city, he notified Coro
ner Ralph Folsom and that official
left Immediately for the scene of the
tragedy. .
WONG T0NG KILLED
HIMSELF, SAYS JURY
AVong Fong committed suicide by
hanging himself while despondent
over a long sickness. This was the
verdict reached by a coroner's Jury
yesterday afternoon after an inves
tigation into the death of the China
man, following the discovery that ho
had not died of natural causes. The
men impaneled by Coroner Folsom
found no indications of foul play and
so remove the suspicion from the
countrymen of the deceased.
It was an excited bunch of celes
tials that saw the body of men come
into their wash house on Railroad
street yesterday afternoon and there
was much Jabbering and gesticulat
ing before they furnished the investi
gators with tho information sought.
And they made It plain that they
saw no reason for "such business"
Just because a man saw fit to end his
sufferings by hanging himself.
A possible explanation of the sui
cide is made by the officers who state
that a Chinaman considers it a dis
grace to enter upon the China new
year in debt. They state that he owed
his countrymen more than $200 and.
despondent over his illness anyway,
might have decided to take his life
rather than face the Impending dis
grace. SOME REAL RIODSnFD.

"I am In favor of equal suffrage

TOLD P0RTLANDERS
ABOUT THE ROUND-UP
In a five minute talk before the
members of the Progressive Business
men's Club at their luncheon at the
Hotel Portland yesterday George
Hartman, Jr., member of the Round
up board, told the Portlanders of the
work being done in behalf of the show
and much interest was shown by
those present.
In his talk Mr. Hartman devoted
most of his time to informing his
hearers as to the manner in which
the Round-up is conducted. It is a
municipal affair in that the whole
community is behind the show and no
attempt is made to make money for
any one. He told of the gift of the
Round-up park to the city and of the
Improvements that are planned for
the place.
From the interest and enthusiasm
shown for the Round-up and from
Information he received while in
Portland Mr. Hartman is convinced
there will be a large attendance from
Portland and from points up the Wil
lamette valley next fall.
TRANSIENT HOOSIER TAKE? ON SOUSE WITH
NEW FOUND ACQUAINTANCE AND IS 'TOUCHED'
Poorer in the stuff that purchases,
but richer, yes, far richer, in that
experience which teaches the ways of
the world, Allen Songer of Veeders
burg, Indiana, left Pendleton yester
day morning on the last relay of his
trip from North Platte. Neb., to Spo
kane, after a night's sojourn in this
city. It is the old, old story so fa
miliar in the west. A otranger of
tho goodfellow type, a clinking of
glasses, a period of sweet oblivion
and a sad awakening to a throbbing
head and empty pockets, but the story
would have been even more pathetic
to relate had It not have been for
the wise precaution and foresight
which prompted the easterner to con
ceal a portion of his wad in the tops
of hls boots when he left his little
home.
Songer arrived in Pendleton Wed
nesday, according to the story he told,
being en route to Elmyra, Washing
ton, to visit with a son. During the
evening he encountered a stranger, a
heavy set man with n black mous
tache and withal a most courteous
and affable gentleman, who took such
a kindly Interest In the newcomer by
offering to show him the sights of
the city, that the heart of the latter
was moved to the point where by way
of showing his appreciation, he invit
ed his conductor into a saloon to
quaff a refreshing beverage.
One drink called for another and
a second called for a succession, all
of them being paid for by the gentle
man from Indiana. Now the local

All Washington In Furore
Over Impending Ainsworth
Court Martial.
MAY GO TO CONGRESS
Accused Officer's High Rank Makea
It Difficult to Secure Enough Su
perior Officers to Make Up Court
Martial Board.
Washington. D. C, Feb. 16 All
Washington is today in furore over
the action of President Taft in reliev
ing Major General Ainsworth. as ad
jutant general of the United 'States
army and ordering that he be court
martialed on charges of insubordina
tion, which accusation is the out
growth of General Ainsworth's criti
cisms of Chief of Staff General Wood
and the war department.
The selection of officers to make
up the court martial will be extreme
ly difficult, as on'y superior officers
are eligible and there are not enough
of these in active service to make up
the board. It is likely that the re
tired list will be drawn on.
Besides General Ainsworth and
General Wood, there are only five
major generals in active service who
are available. They are Generate
Grant, Bell, Barry, Carter' and Mur
ray. All of these are in line, tho
same as General Ainsworth.
General Ainsworth has been the
pivotal point about which has for
years resulted a bi'.ter fued between
the staff and line officers of the ar
my. He has announced that he will
carry the matter onto the floors of
congress. However shou'd he be
found guilty by a court martial and
punished there will be no appeal for
him.
If the retired officers are eligible
to sit in the case. Lieutenants Gener
als Bates, Chaffee, McArthur, Miles
and Young will be eligible in addition
to twenty-one major generals. Only
one third of them arc staff officers.
It is regarded as probable that Gen
eral Ainsworth will be tried by a ma
jority of officers who are on staff, on
general principles.
DISSOLUTIOX OF OIL
TRUST WAS UXWISE
Pasadena. Feb. 16. That the gov
ernment acted unwisely when it dis
solved the Standard Oil trust is tha
opinion of George Perkins, J. P. Mor
gan's former right hand man, who is
here today.
He says that while the Standard
was under one head there was a'.t
chance for governmental supervision,
but that government supervision will
now be difficult when the heads are
scattered. ,

man was not lacking in that spirit
which prompts reciprocity at the bar
which pays for it, so, to save his self
respect and to continue the irrigation
of the Inner man, he somewhat apol
ogetically secured the loan of a fifty
cent piece. Then the glasses went on
clinking merrily ad lib.
This was all that Songer remem
bered until in the dim gray dawn of
yesterday morn he awoke, aching and
half frozen, Inside of a high board
fence. Blinded by the dizziness of
the inebriate,., he groped until he
found a gate and emerged upon the
street. With difficulty he made his
way along tho thoroughfare until a
beacon Ugh shone out in front to
guide his unsteady footsteps. It
proved to be the electric sign of tho
Headlight restaurant, 126 Webb
street, and so was doubly welcome
He entered the eating house ami
the warmth of the room and a big
"ham and" soon revived him -so that
he could relate his Bad adventure.
Two purses, each containing about
five dollars and his railroad ticket to
Spokane, had been taken from his
pockets but he smiled grimly as ho
reached down in his bootled and
drew out a wallet full of the yellow
metal.
"The ways of the west are strange
to me," he spoko Just before going
to catch the train that would whisk
him away from the scene of his sor
row, "but." he continued, "I have
had my first lesson and the price was
not too dear."
