All Italy la re joicing over the escape of King Emanuel, whose life was attempted today by Antonio D'Alba an admitted anarchist. He fired three shot3 at the king, all missing. One bullet (struck Major Langa, cavalry escort, and seriously wounded him. The attempted assassination came shortly after King Emanuel left the palace with the queen to attend a memorial service In honor of his father who was assassinated. The royal couple was near Pantheon where the memorial mass was being said, when D'Alba broke through 'the cheering crowds and fired the shots. The would-be assassin approached the carriage and fired from the side occupied by the queen. She saw him level his revolver and threw herself between him and her husband, shield ing the king's body with her own. Afterward the king and queen cooly sat throughout the ceremonies at Pantheon. He was In a closed carriage but owes his life to poor aim. D'Alba stepped from the curb, ap proached the royal procession, drew his revolver and fired before the peo ple realized what he was doing. Major iJinga was struck by the sec ond bullet and fell from hi Horsa. Hp was rushed to tho hospital. While some of the guard closed around the king to shlo'd him, others rushed and overpowered D'Alba. News of the attempt spread rapidly. Thousands flocked to Pantheon and the police had to use force to prevent tho pnpulare from taking out the horses and drawing the king's car riage themselves.

RED UPON PROPOSED EIRE ALARM GOES TO PIECES ON HOODO0 13111' AFTER CLASH IN COUNCIL Pendleton will have an e'.ectrlc fire alarm system not yet nor soon despite recent indications of a victory for the worki rs for such a modern safeguard, tho city council last night reversing Its decision of a week ago and effec tually silencing again the ton year agitation. Economy In tho fact of a heavy indebtedness was the reason assigned for the defeat of Council man Ell and Fire Chief Vaughan's pet hobhy, the majority of the eoun ellmen and the mayor declaring them selves opposed to spending $5000 for a fire alarm system while the city is in its present financial condition. The reverse decision last night was not gained without a clash, however, and for a time there was considerable warmth displayed. Councilman Brock opened tho action when he moved that tho council reconsider the motion passed a week ago authorizing the drawing up of an ordinance in structing the fire committee to con tract with the Gamewell Alarm com pany for a twenty box system. With but little discussion, tho council re opened the question. Chairman Ell of tho fire committee being the only one easting a vote against the motion Councilman Dyer was absent and the remaining six voted "aye." I'.ll and Sharon Clash. When, however, Councilman Brock asked that the original motion bo put again. Councilman Ell came forward to the defense of his measure and the following tropical dialogue took place between him and Councilman Sharon Ell "I would like to ask why it la nt this time the councilmen have come forward to oppose the fire alarm system. Why did they vote for the system last week If they thought It too expensive." Sharon "I can tell you why some CHINESE REPUBLIC ROCKS Munrliiig Are Sending Army to Try to Regain Lost Throne. Peking, March 14. The life of the Chinese republic Is seriously menaced today by a determined effort looking toward the restoration of the Man chus to power.

The younger Manchu princes, who stren uously opposed abdication, are back ing the general. Practically the entire third division of the republican army left here to day to Intercept the rebel forces. Owing to the unrest and dissatis faction among the republican troops, it is not believed that President Tuan can hold out long against them. WHAT WOULD THIS TAX COST YOU? Tax of $50 Year on Last Half of $10,000 Income is Proposed Washington, March 14. Designed to supply $33,000,000 revenue which would be lost If the 'free sugar bill passes, the house democratic ways and means committee today presented an "excise tax" bill. Tho report says tho tax proposed Is not an income tax, therefore It would not be affect ed by the supreme court decision. An Income tax would be favored, the report says, were it not for the doubt as to Its constitutionality. The report says it Is simply an ex tension of the corporation tax law to Individuals, firms and copartnerships and would put a tax only on persons whoso Incomes are over $5000 an nually. , The bill's sponsors claim the measure taxes only the amount of business of the individual, therefore It Is not ffh Income tax, properly speak ing, and escapes the condemnation (.f the supremo court: Further the report says: "The term 'business,' embraces everything about which a person can bo employed. A person having an income under $3, 000 pays nothing. Persons whose business earns $1",000, pays no tax on the first $50(10 and on tho second $,"000 only $30 annually. Some Kid Will Get a Pony.

Attorney Mil ler, for the packers on trial here for criminal conspiracy, announced that the packers would rest their case with out submitting any evidence and de pending on argument alone to save them from going to jail.

The decision of the pack ers came after a stormy session in an ante-room of the court between the packers' attorneys. It is believed that the real reason why no defense will be offered by the packers, was the refusal of Ar mour and others to take the stand personally and submit to cross exam ination. Judge Carpenter indicated that the arguments wont be limited and they will probably consume most of next week.

Court Clerk Goad and three spec tators were wounded, probably fatal ly, by stray bullets, while trying to hurry out of the line of fire. The wildest excitement reigned ir. the court room and the entire little town, according to advices recelvd here, is in a state of terror as more trouble is expected to follow the bloody battle.

TWO PHYSICIANS IN RACE FOR CORONER Two well known local physicians. Dr. E. O. Parker, and Dr. H. S. Gar field, will In all probability oppose each other for the republican nomi nation for county coroner at the April primaries. The former announced yesterday afternoon that he had about concluded to place his name on the ballot in response to the repeated urging of friends and upon the re fusal of Ralph Folsom, present cor oner, to run for re-eieetion, while Dr. Garfield already has his petitions In circulation. Folsom, who has been coroner of t'maiilla county off and on for the last 21 years, declines asolutely to rifh again for Xhe office on account of theN demands made upon his time by his own business. The office is 'not a very remunerative one, there being no flat salary connected with it, and ex perience is about the only thing to be gained by the incumbent. This ex perience, which is of more benefit to the physician than the layman, is the only inducement which the posi tion has for him, says Dr. Parker, as he has no desire to enter politics. Dr. Garfield is the present county phy sician and he believes the office of coroner is so closely connected with his present position that the two should be combined. Dr. I. U. Temple, city health offi cer, lias been considering making the race for. the nomination a'so, but de clared this morning that he has re nounced any ambitions he might have had. ( Iianue in Golden Rule Store. . B. McDonal 1 of Spokane and A. E Otis of St. Louis, have arrived in rendieton to take positions with the Golden Ru e Store here.

The proposition has long been a pet one of Mr. Murphy and he advocated it in strong terms last night, declaring It 1 e only equitable way of procedure. The council seemed very favorably disposed toward the tdea and from unofficial remarks made after the meeting, it is apparent that the plan as proposed w ill be adopted. The only objection raised was by Dan Bowman, who lives on the north side but not on j.u-kson street, but w hen it was explained that once the district is created, all property must con tribute toward all future Improvement work done on the north side, ho wa apparently more satisfied with it. Kegardiny; Asplialtie Oils. City Engineer Kim broil reported that he and Engineer C. H. Martin. In accordance with the desires of prop erty owners, had made estimates up on the cost of street Improvement with tho Standard Oil company's road oil. placing the probable cost at $1.K a square yard. In the same connection. Mayor Matlock today received a letter from a Vancouver resident to whom ho had written asking tho merit of Tarvia, another asphaltlc oil, In which the writer expressed his opin ion that the material would prove un satisfactory as it had done on the twenty blocks upon which It was used In his city. r
