According to tho White Star com

Vice President Franklin of the

Franklin said the Olympic is be

It is believed the Titanic drifted

EX-CONGRESSMAN RALPH COLE DEFENDS
TARIFF RECORD MADE BY PRESIDENT TAFT
Refore a audience of approximate
ly two Ivundred people, Ralph D.
Cole, ex-representative from Ohio, last
night In the court house defended
President William Howard Taft from
the criticisms which have been made
against his tariff policy. The speak
er particularly appealed to the sheep
men of which there were quite a
number In his audience and that thej
ympathlzed with his views was made
evident by their hearty applause.
He arrived from La Grande last
evening and was met at the train by
the Round-Up band, which escorted
him directly to the court house where,
after a short musical program, he
was Introduced by Joe Skrable, pres
ident of the local Taft duo.
"President Taft has accomplished
two things in relation to the tariff,"
he said in beginning his address,
"which entitle him to the gratitude of
the nation and especially of the peo
ple of Oregon. First he made pos
sible a scientific prtective tariff and
second, he saved from the hand of
dcstructln the wool industry of the
United States."

CHOXOLOt.Y OF TITANIC'S FIRST AND FATAL VOYAGE.
Titanic left South Hampton on maiden trip, April 10th.
Just before leaving port it narrowly e:-caped a collision with the
liner New York.
Proceeded at top speed toward New York, until it struck an iceberg
at 10:25 o'clock Sunday night, 450 miles south of Cape Race.
The wireless operator sends out "S. O. S." message call's through
out Sunday night, pleading for help at once.
The steamer Virginia of the Allen line, picks up the call and rushes
to aid the disabled vessel.
The Carpathla, Olympic. Baltic and Parisian and other vessels
rush to the scene, but evidently arrived too late to be of material
assistance.

On tho official ballot that has been
printed for the primary election state

However, Mr. Mann has never taken
any pledge to vote for the people's
choice for United States senator and

of the statement slogan on the ballot
but like Mann he has been appealing
for votes on the strength of the dec-

The records at the clerk's office
show that Rep. S. D. Peterson who is
running for renominatlon, has filed
a formal statement No. 1 pledge in
which he obligates himself, if elected,
to vote for the popular choice for sen

PILOT ROCK PLAYS

Pendleton fans will have their first
opportunity of developing baseball
hysterics next Sunday afternoon, for
a game has been arranged for that
time between Garrett's accumulation
of talent and the Pilot Rock Redoubt
ables reinforced by one of the local
batteries. The game is scheduled as
a practice for the Buckarooes but
Manager Fred Lieuallen of the P. R.
Bunch declares he is coming after
a. scalp and with the assistance of a
twirler and backstop from Pendleton
believes lie w ill get what he is coming
for.
Pilot Rock, it will be remembered,
has some good material and they have
been practicing faithfully for some
weeks, which, together with the fact
that Garrett's men will not have had
time to develop any team work,
makes it very probable that a close
exhibition will be witnessed at
Round-Up Park Sunday.
Manager Garrett did not arrive this
morning as expected but the recruits
already arrived and the drifters who
hope to cast anchors here for the
season are working out, nevertheless,
and many of the fans are making dally
expeditions to the ground in order to
get first hand dope.

Company's Offices
New York. April 10. All New York
Is stunned today by tlio apiUing loss
of life on tlie steamer Titanic.
A long iin,. of hysterical men, wo
men aim children beseiged the orfice
of tlie White Star Line, begging for
authentic information. The company
official were unable to offer hoi).
Nothing will lie definitely known
till the urrival here of the Virginian
mid Carpathia. the two ocean liners
that first reached tlie ill-fated vessel.
The police reserves were scarcely
able to control the crowds in front
of the offices.
In the first rush on the New York
office of the White Star company, war
Vincent Astor, son of Coionel John
Jacob Astor, who it is believed per
ished in the Titanic disaster. He ar
rived with Casa J. Riddle, Colonel
Astor's business representative and
conferred half an hour with Vice
President Franklin. When he came
out he was weeping and was assisted
to his auto and rushed to his home.
Vice President Franklin continues
to inssist that all possible information
is being published, it is generally
believed that the White Star com
pany Is using him as a butter between
itself and the public and Is giving
out only such information as it wish
es the public to have.
Mrs. Renjamin Guggenheim impor
tuned everyone, demanding hysteri
cally that something be done.
She !d to Mr. Franklin:
"For God's sake don't let expense
count if there is any chance!
"Hire steamboats and rush them
to the scene!"
At 10 o clock the excitement had
reached such a high pitch that addi
tional police reserves were called to
restrain the crowds' in front of the
White Star offices.
Survivors' on Carpathia. v
New York, April 16. (Bulletin.)
Summing up fragmentary advices re
ceived here up to 3 p. m: today, the
probability is that nearly fifteen hun
dred persons lost their lives when the
ten million dollare White Star liner
Titanic went down yesterday off New
Foundland banks.
The steamer Carpathia with from
six hundred to eight hundred passen
gers, is steaming for New York.
No clear account of the disaster
has been received here.
The officials of the White Star
line declared today mat the only sur
vivors of the Titanic they know of
arethose aboard the steamer Car
pathia. They say all the Titanic's small
boats are seemingly accounted for.
They say they do not believe any of
the missing were saved, saving only
one chance in a thousand that other
stamers may have rescued those
aboard the ill-fated liner after the
women and children were sent away.
Vice President Franklin of the
White Star line, is hysterical over the
Titanic catastrophe.
He said:
"It Is horrible! Horrible!

THRIFTY "FRIEND" DREW
PAY IN DIRECT
That F. K. Welles, self-styled "chil
dren's friend,'1 has no scruples about
getting all the money possible out of
his position even if it be necessary
to evade the law to do so Is shown
by the facts regarding a travel pay
grab that was carried on for four
years under the old board of county
commissioners. As a result of the
graft that was worked, Welles drew
down the gentle sum of $800 as travel
money when tho law upon the sub
ject intended specifically to keep
him from so doing. Here is the his
tory of the matter and the facts can
be verified for the benefit of anyone
desiring to investigate the proposi
tion. Until four years ago the superin
tendent drew a salary of $1200 per
annum and during the session of 1907
the sa'ary was increased through a
bill presented by Rep. Claude Steen
to $1800 a year. At the same session
a bill was presented allowing county
superintendents $200 per annum trav
el pay. Governor Chamberlain, who
had an ever watchful eye for salary
bills and vetoed many-of them, call

New York, April 16. The combin

So, at his request and in order to se

the delegation changed the travel pay
