FURTHER STREET PAVING

Present indications are that all Of
the street Improvement work planned
by the council and urged by the Com
mercial association will be held, up 'by
remonstrances following developments
at the meeting of the aldermen last
night. Remonstrances against the
macadamizing of cast Court street and
against the paving of east Webb were
' placed, on file last night and referred
to the street committee while one
against the proposed paving of Jack
son street was presented though the
time for such action has not yet ar
rived. Also the remonstrance pre
sented a week ago against the im
provement of west Webb street was
' accepted by the council as a bar to
further consideration of the work at
this time though It was insufficiently
signed to hqld up the work had the
council been at all arbitrary.
The remonstrance against the work
on east Webb street is said to contain
signatures representing 86 per cent ol
the property affected . which Is more
than sufficient to hold up the work
while the East Court street ia said to
contain the required 80 per cent.

Forty-two Professional! Base Ball
Games May Be Seen This Season
By Local Random.
HUNT FOR PLAYERS IS ON
Admission Fixed at Fifty Cents In
cluding Grandstand Seats Kfricient
Umpires to lie Provided and Rigid
Rule Observed '
At 1:30 this morning, the meeting
of the Western Trl-state league dele
gates broke up with the league organ
ized, the constitution and by-lavvt
adopted and a tentative schedule of
games for the season arranged, and
the, delegates have returned to their
homes with the reports and the work
of lining up material for the contend
ing teams will be undertaken at once.
The principal difficulty at the. ses
sion yesterday came after a banquet
In the evening when the schedule was
taken up. Jack Cody of Boise pre
sented one which he had prepared but
some objection was found to this on
account of the division of the Pun
days. There are to be 17 Sundays
uring the four months of play and
the schedu'e submitted provided for
games in Boise and Walla Walla dur
ing ten of these and in Pendleton La
Grande on seven. Local delegates
contended for a division of nine and
ight and finally won out so that eight
Sunday games will be Dlaved in this
ity. The Pendleton delegation was
Iso fortunate enough to land one
oliday game.
In all, forty-two games will be play
ed in Pendleton and La Grande, If
the tentative schedule Is adopted,
while Boise and Walla Walla will get
something like sixty apiece.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
the constitution and by-laws of the
Union association were adopted with
a few minor changes. They are rated
one "of the best set of laws in organ
ized baseball. Every phase of the
game is covered and the solidity of
the present league will guarantee its
tritt observance.
The.se laws prohibit open pool' gam
bling of any kind on the grounds; re
quire annual dues of $100; place the
life of the league at 10 years; salaries
the secretary so that business like
methods of management will follow;
gives an honorary president and a
board of directors complete control
over the club managers In all disputes;
and covers every other detail of base
ball which has heretofore made the
game listless in eastern Oregon.
Admission Fifty Cents.
After considerable liscussion it was
finally decided to make the admission
charge for the games tO cents straight.
including grundstand. Twd ladies
days will be in order every week and
one children's day. Walla Walla dele
gates argued for 25 cent gate charges
and 25 cent grandstand charges for
time, but were outclassed by the
replies .that organized baseball means
betteT class of ball than ever had
heretofore and requires money for
support. This is the price charged in
every league of any class and in many
owns, an extra grandstand charge Is
made in addition to a 50 cent gate.
First c'.uss Aimpires will be secured
by the president of the league and
will have absolute power over the
earns In the field. A board of direc
tors to have charge of the league af
fairs, was elected as follows: Jack
Cody, Boise; Grant Lincoln, La
Grande; L. G. Frazler, Pendleton. nd
J. T. Crawford of Walla Walla. These
directors will hold meetings whenever
deemed necessary and will have com
plete authority In all disputes brought
before them. The president will have
power to act in every case possible,
but at times questions will arise which
will need action by the directors.
The salary limit was placed at $1,
200 as already advocated with the ex
pressed Intention of raising It to SI,.
500 next year and to 2000 the year
following. Each manager will be held
strlctlv to account In this matter.
Manager Jess Garrett of the Pen
dleton team has already commenced
upon the work of securing material
for a pennant winning organization.
He is using tho telegraph and tele
Dhone freely to get In touch with

ments until contracts are signed. This
afternoon he is down at Round-Up
Park watching the maneuvers of the
dozen or more players who have
been attracted to the city by the for

the pafing company who refused to

guilty as charged and were sentenced
to pay fines of $25 each or spend
twelve days In jail. They paid the

A seeming effort was made to

did not actually strike a blow. In
his remarks prior to the passing of

IS THIS THE WAY TAXPAYERS WANT THE
RURAL SUPERVISOR SYSTEM TO WORK?
That there are peculiar features
about the rural school supervisor sys
tem that has been established in this
county by County Superintendent
Frank K. Welles and that there is de
cided need of some changes is shown
by tha following story from Mrs.
Edith U Ralston, a school teacher,
who has recommendations and cre
dentials of the very best sort. Mrs.
Ralston Is a woman of middle age
and is the widow of a prominent Gil
liam county stock buyer who died
several years ago. She has consid
erable property In the interior but
being an active, energetic woman, de
votes her time to teaching.
A few days ago Mrs. Ralston was
ousted from a nine-months' position
in a southern Umatilla county district
under conditions that indicate she
was a victim of jobbery such as peo
nle read of in detective stories but
scarcely expect to hear of in connec
Hon vrfh nublic school work In a
county so advanced as this.
Mrs. Ralston has proofs showing
she has attended at the Nebraska

between 13 and 14 years In good town

Ulsterltes Aro Flayed.
London, April 11. With hundreds
of persons crowded into the galleries
and thousands of others unable to
gain admission, Premier Asquith pre
sented today in the house of commons
the government's bill to give Ireland
home rule.
Outside a large Irish delegation
clamored vainly for admission and a
number of Irish bishops had difficul
ty in obtaining seats.
To prevent a demonstration by the
suffragettes, tickets were Issued only

bers of parliament.
Just before the house of commons;

nationalists.
Following Premier Asquith's presen
tation of the measure, Sir Edward
Carson planned an attack on the
measure while John Redmond, leader
of the Rationalists, was to speak in
Its defense.
Urging the passage of the measure
Premier Asquith said: "I cannot ad
mit the right of the relatively small
minority of Irish citizens In Ulster to
veto the will of the vast majority of
Irishmen who favor the bill."
An uproar followed Premier As
quith's statement, denouncing as falsa
Andrew Bonar Law' declaration In
Belfast that the government has sold
Itself to obtain Irish votes.
Law leaped, to his feat, facing Pre
mier Asquith and repeated the
charge, causing a great sensation.
From the ministerial side came
shouts of "Muzzle him." When the
uproar subsided, Premier Asquith
finished his speech. Sir Edward Car
son was the netx speaker. He at
tacked the bill as "ridiculous, fantas
tic and impossible of administration
and a direct insult to Ulster."

room in the basement of the city hall
and there made the casual acquaint

whom she told she was going out to
the Uklah neighborhood to teach.
Thereupon the two women engaged In
a conversation and during the same
the Pilot Rock woman related a bit
of gossip that was seemingly current
regarding Tonkin. It was to the effect
that In visiting the schools under- his
supervision the supervisor was in the
habit of displaying osculatory procliv
ities when the opportunity presented
itself. It was told as a Joke more
than anything else.
The day following while in Pilot
Rock waiting for the stage to Ukiah
Mrs. Ralston chanced to repeat the
bit of gossito the landlady at the
hotel where she was stopping. She
declares she did not tell It with a view
to mischief nor in a spirit of prudery,
but merely as a bit of fun. At the
time she did not even know to what
supervisor It referred.
But evidently the story struck
