Populace Fights Guards In Effort
to Tke Horses' IMaws at Carriage.
nome, March 14. 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.
D'Albn was roughly handled by Jhe
police nnd narrowly escaped lynching.
When the king returned ho was ac
corded tho greatest ovation since he
became ruler.

three different parties, Mrs. Mol

has by this time been disposed of and
very few sales are recorded these

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 position of
President Yuan is admittedly grave
Foreign residents in Peking are
frightened over tho approach of an
army from Kansu and Shensl, com
manded by General Shong Tun. 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.

CHARLES H. CARTER
WANTS NO OFFICE
Charles H. Carter, senior member
of the well known law firm of Carter
& Smythe and present city attorney,
Is not a candidate for any office or
for the nomination for any office and
neither will he be. His hat is neither
in the ring nor is he in a receptive
mood and ho wants his democratic,
friends to know, without any Ifs and
amis, the state of his mind.
This public announcement of his
private intentions is made in order
to put at rest any fondly cherished
hopes which his party leaders might
sst ill have of inducing him to enter the
political arena. During the past few
weeks, Mr. Carter has been beseiged
by friends and fellow democrats who
are desirous of seeing him battle for
tho office of circuit judge or district
attorney because of his popularity
and of his reputation of being one of
tho best read lawyers In eastern Ore
gon. However, he has stood firm in
his resnlve to remain out of any cam
paign for office and (declares now
that there is no pr.-ver which can
swerve him from his stand.

0REG0NIANS IN FRISCO
(iov. West Says "Wilson Democratic
Choice and Republicans Split.
San Francisco, March 14 Gover
nor West, heading the Oregon dele
gation to select a state building site
at the fair, said today that Woodrow
Wilson Is .overwhelmingly .Oregon's
democratic choice and that the re
publicans are badly split as a result
of Colonel Roosevelt's entrance into
the race.
During the journey from Portland
to San Francisco, the Oregonians
were kept in touch with the outside
world through a newspaper of their
own making on the train.
A straw vote, taken on the train,

PACKERS WILL NOT
OFFER TESTIMONY
Fear to Take Stand and Will
Depend On" Attorneys' .
Arguments
Chicago, March 14. 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. Judge Car
penter immediately ordered a recess
until Monday when the arguments
will begin. 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.
ANOTHER BOOK BY
FREDERIC BALCH
Though Frederic Balch, author of
"The Bridge of the Clods," haB been
sleeping In his grave for more than
twenty years, another book from his
pen will be offered to the reading
public if the efforts of Major Lee
Moorhouse of this city to Interest a
publisher in a manuscript left by the
deceased writer are successful. The
news will be right welcome to the le
gion of people who have read and re
read the greatest ot Oregon classics.
Mrs Gertrude Ingalls, a sister of
the Frederick Balch now living In
Hood River, lias sent a completed
novel entitled "Genevieve " found
among her brother's unpublished
papers, to Major Moorhouse with the
request that he make an endeavor to
interest some publishing house in it.
The major has read the manuscript
and declares it to be almost as ab
sorbing in its interest and charm as
"The Bridge of the Gods " He says
it is as distinctly Oregon as its fa
mous predecessor, the scenes all be
ing along the Columbia river. He
will undertake immediately to have
the novel published and thinks he will
have no difficulty, so great is the
popularity of the only other novel
written by tho man who aspired to
be tho Waller Scott of Oregon and
who was only cut off from the attain
ment of his ambitions by the inter
position of death, which ea'led him
at the early age of thirty in the midst
of his first labors.
2 STATE S. S. ASS'N.
HERE NEXT MONTH
Pendleton will next month bo the
scene of another convention which
will draw several hundred out of town
visitors to the city. On April 25 and
26 the Twin State Convention of the
Oregon State Sunday School associa
tion will be held here, according to
notification received by local church
es. In order to make it more Inexpen
sive for the churches of the various
cities of the state in sending dele
gates to the annual convention, the
practice of dividing the convention
has been adopted, one being held in
eastern and one in western Oregon.
The eastern Oregon division consists
of all of the state this side of Port
land and it will be tho delegates from
this territory who will gather in Pen
dleton next month. It is estimated
that there will be at least 300 Sunday
school workers in attendance.
Tho meetings will be held in the
Methodist church but the association
Is an Interdenominational one, com
prising all protestant churches. Prom
inent speakers will be here to address

clare the program to be one of un
usual excellence.

the intention to improve the two for-

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.

portion to the benefits derived. 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
