Major Pouchen, of Toronto, who
wrote the senatorial Investigating

and officers of the Titanic, will be
a witness this afternoon.
Thirty-two sailors and four offi

are indignant, declaring tho senate
committee has no right to hold them
against their will.
Vice-president Franklin of the
White Star line, was a witness before
the committee at the resumption of
the Titanic Inquiry today.' Ho ad
mitted that some one 4n the White
Star office might have given out the
statement that .the Titanic pussengers
were safe when they were drowned
but disavowed the responsibility for
the report.
Franklin said that possibly some
employee sent tho message to Con
gressman Hughes, of West Virginia,
that all pnseengers were saved, but he
said no officer did It.
Franklin said the telegram to Con
gressman Hughes certainly was not
authorized. He said he would like to
have tho committee ask Liverpool
about it.
The crew and surviving officers of
the Titanic are being carefully guard
ed and private detectives arc closely
watching J. Bruce Ismay, managing
director of the White Star line, who
is a guest of the new Waldorf hotel.

FANS SEE, LOCAL TRI-STATE LEAGUE TEAM
IN ACTION FIRST TIME BEAT PILOT
Pendleton fans yesterday afternoon
had their first opportunity of gazing
upon prospective Buckarooes under
fire when In a practice game with the
Pilot Rock Pirates reinforced by two
of Garrett's pitchers and one of his
catchers, the wearers of the "Let 'er
Buck" suits chalked up seven straight
marks against a doughnut. Though
- the sky was obscured with rain clouds
and a chill zephyr cooled the ardor of
fans and players alike, the contest
was not devoid of thrills and served
very well the purpose for which It
was Intended, namely, the sifting of
the chaff from the wheat.
Rustemeyer and Wynne occupied
the slab for the visitors with Pern

buttery, while Mountain and Hew

without score, for in alt other cantos
the wlelderg of the stick were pretty
' much at the mercy of the twirlers.
Pendleton scored all of her seven
runs in that fatal second but the tall
moundman was not responsible for
all of the scores. Though he allowed
four hits, ono of which was a two
sacker and one a homer, walked two
men and made an error, he was aided
and abetted by two errors from his
teammates.
He started the game right well, for

LOST LIFE OX TITANIC
Miss Annie Funk, sister of
Deputy Sheriff A. C. Funk of
this city, was a passenger on
the 111 fated steamer Titanic
and she went to her death when
the great ship went down last
Sunday night. It was not until
this morning the local man
heard of the death of his loved
relative. The sister was aged
28 years of age and had been
for six years past a missionary
in India. She was returning to
her home In Pennsylvania and
came via London. The deputy
sheriff knew she was to sail for
home last week but not until
today did he learn she was
abord the Titanic. News to that
effect Came to him by wire
this morning from his home
people in Pennsylvania.
Thus far absolutely no news
has been obtained showing par
ticulars regarding Miss Funk's
death. This leads to the belief
she remained aboard the ship
when the. life boats were filled,
giving up her own life that
others might be saved from a
watery death.
hotel all day In hope of catching a
glimpse of that official.
Franklin admitted he knew last
Monday that the liner Carpathla had
picked up twenty life boats filled with
passengers, but did not publish it be
cause it was not authentic.

50,000 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS EXPECTED
TO GO ON STRIKE
New York, April 22. Unless an
agreement is reached by 3:30 this af
ternoon when their urmistlce expires,
fifty thousand engineers, employes oi
the great railroads east of Chicago
and north of the Ohio river, will be
ordered out on a strike within thlrty-
.slx hours. The engineers demand an
IS per cent Increase In wages, a
standardization of runs and extra
pay when held at terminals. The rail
roads say they are unable to meer
these demands. Unless there is a
sudden receding by the railroads from
the stand taken, a strike appears in
evitable. Chief officers of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and repre
sentatives of the railroads ate con
ferring separately here today, the
former at the Broadway Central ho
tel and the latter In the Hudson ter
minal building, but according to re
ports emanating from these sources
hope of amicable settlement of the
difficulty Is faint.
As a reason that they cannot grant
the men's demands, the roads say the
public is clamoring for double track
ing, interlocking switches and otuei
safeguards.
There is a possibility that the gov
ernment will be asked to mediate,
Waterman Defeats Walker
Returns
At 3 o'clock this afternoon County
Clerk Sailing and his corps of assist
ants had partially completed the offi
cial count of the ballots of the pri
mary election and their figures show
ed that H. A. Waterman of Hertniston
had defeated Horace Walker, pres
ent incumbent, for the nomination for
county commissioner by 53 votes. The
result of this race was uncertain un
til the figures were added and came
as a surprise to many, inasmuch as
Walker had been leading by a. small
margin up until the last few precinct;
had been heard from.
The count being made now will not
be complete as Vinson precinct has
not yet sent in its vote but there are
not enough voters'in that precinct to
change the result.
It will probably be late tonight be
fore the officials complete their count
as they have not yet commenced up
on the names which have been writ
ten In. The totals taken up until 3
o'clock are as follows:
President La.Follette 54S, Roose
velt 1048, Taft 642.
Senator Bourne 271, Lowell 1277,
Morton 72, Selling 576.
Congressman Cochran 354, Ellis

203.
District Attorney Neal 986, Steiwer

Representative Hlnkle 989, Mann

School Superintendent Welles 797,

County Commissioner Walkei

State Returns Slow.
Portland, Ore., April 22. (Special)
With returns fairly complete it was
clear at 2 o'clock this afternoon that
Colonel Roosevelt carried Oregon by
a substantial plurality and that Sen
ator La Follotte and President Taft
were second and third, respectively, in
tho race for the republican presiden
tial nomination. At that hour the vote
stood: Roosevelt 35,652, La Folietto
32.001, Taft 26.098. When the re
turns are complete it probably will be
seen that Roosevelt's plurality Is
about 4000 and possibly a little great
er. Wilson is without doubt the winner
of the democratic presidential nomi
nation. The vote in Multnomah coun
ty at 2 o'clock was: Wilson 2599,
Clark 1129, Harmon 123. The vote
from outside counties was still so In
complete as to leave the Wilson plur
ality uncertain. Late outside returns
will not change the standing of the
three candidates.
Selling has a plurality of 6000 over
At least one Pendleton dona
tion will be represented In the
relief fund being raised for the
relief of the survivors and the
widows and orphans of the vie-
tima of tho wrecked Titanic.
Charles H. Hammond, veteran
bootblack who has his stand at
the Welch cigar store, Saturday
sent five dollars to Portland to
bo forwarded to New York.
Hammond is a native of Eng--
land and has sailed on nearly
every sea lu tho world and his
sympathies are, therefore, more
than ordinarily strong.
OFFICIAL COITSMS CHANGE
ON COUNTY COMMISSIONER
Aids Survivors.

IN THIRTY-SIX HOURS
under the terms of the Erdman act
Labor Commissioner Neill is In
close touch with both sides and both
the engineers and railroad officers
insist they have nothing to arbitrate.
A strike would seriusly affect the
large eastern clue's as the movement
of foodstuffs, milk and dairy pro
duets would be greatly hampered.
Warren S. Stone, grand chief engi
neer, declared that New York poli
ticians have asked the engineers to
accept a truce with the rairoads and
join with them in an appeal to con
gress to go over the heads of the
interstate commerce commission and
permit the railroads to advance
freight rates and increase the engi
neers' wages.
The politicians promised, Stone
said, that the railroads would show
congress that the proposed increase
in rates is justifiab.e. Sione refused
to consider the proposition.
("lias. 1'. Neill, commissioner of la
bor and Martin A. Knapp, presiding
judge of the court of commerce, took
pessimistic views on the outcome of
the impending strike. Judge Knapj.

tiative to try to prevent a terrible in
dustrial calamity. The out'.ouk is se
rious." By Fifty-Three Votes State

N. J. Sinnott has a lead of more
than 800 over Ellis, his nearest rival,
and appears to have clinched the re
publican congressional nomination in
the second district.
Lane is leading Pierce by about
3X00 and will be the winner of the
democratic senatorial nomination.
. Without doubt Ben Olcott had a
lead of about 3000 over Fields. Ol
cott's nomination for secretary of
state is certain.

As a result of the primary election
in the democratic party Friday Pen

the democratic ticket this fall and will
send a delegate to the democratic

well that scarcely any doubt can be
entertained as to his success. If he
is elected he will have the pleasure of
attending the national convention at
Baltimore and of casting his vote,
along with the votes of other delegates
from this state, for Woodrow Wilson
for president. Each delegate receives
from the state the sum of $200 for
travel pay and expenses.
In the event Oregon should give a
majority to the democratic presiden

will have an opportunity of casting
his ballot for the president-elect.

INDIAN EXHIBIT
INTERESTS BOARD
Returning from Spokane Saturday
evening where they attended the con
vention of the North Pacific Board of
Foreign and Home Missions of the
Presbyterian church, Pendleton's del
egates report that the Indian exhibit
taken there by Rev. J. M. Cornelison,
missionary at Tutuilla, was without
question the most interesting of all of
the many exhibits and that as a re
sult a move was started to have him
collect a largur exhibit to take to the
Panama exposition in 1915. In addi
tion to Rev. Cornelison and his two
children, Pendleton was represented
at the convention by Mrs. Mary Moule
and Mrs. M. A. Thompson, delegates
from the local Presbyterian women's
missionary society, Mrs. F. E. Liven
good, delegate from the Presbyterian
society, Mrs. Amos Pond and Mrs. Liz
zie Minthorn, delegates from the Tu
tuilla missionary society.
In Rev. Corneiison's exhibit were
many Indian pictures and curios from
the Moorhouse collection, blankets
and robes from the Pendleton Woolen
Mills, pictures and a model of the
Tutuilla mission and many relics of
the old Whitman mission. As t'i
throngs gathered to look upon the
unique collection, Rev. Cornelison ex
plained the work which is being done
on the local reservation toward bring
ing the Indians Into the pale of te
church and all of the delegates evinc
ed a great Interest in his lectures.
Steamers Collide.
Baltimore, Mr., April 22. The
steamer Cretan of the Merchants'
and Marine line, was rammed by the
steamer Iroquois and badly damaged
off Cape Hatteras today, according to
a dispatch received here from Nor
folk. The passengers and crew es
caped unhurt.
DEMOCRATS NAME STRONG MEN TO OPPOSE
"WEAK SPOTS" IN THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
Umatilla county democrats named
the greater part of a county ticket
Friday and unless all signs fail the
minority party will have very form
idable candidates for a number of lo
cal positions. A particular effort will
be made, it is understood, to elect
two members of the legislature and
a county commissiner.
For legislative positions tho names
of W. H. Skinner of Hermlston and
A. B. McEwen of Athena, were writ
ten in and presumably both men will
have the democratic nomination. Both
nominees ar emen of the highest
standing in their communities and
have excellent records to their credit.
Mr. Skinner was formerly mayor of
Lewlston, Idaho, and Mr. McEwen
but recently served a term as mayor
of Athena. There are many, of both
poltlcal parties who are willing to
wager they will defeat Messrs. Mann
and Hinklo in the election this fall.
Among independent minded republi
cans there Is a feeling of resentment
over the nomination of Hinklo and
Mann who had the support of the old
machine organization during the cam
paign though strenuous denials of the
fact were made.
For county commissioner the demo
crats have named Manuel Friedly and

TO PILE OF WRECKAGE
St. Louis, April 22 Twenty-one
persons are known to be dead today'
as a result of a violent tornado which
swept Illinois Sunday, besides those
who perished at Bush, Ills., which Is
today reduced to a pile of wreckage.
Details from Busb are expected to
add ten or fifteen to the death roll.
It is known the dead include six at
Murphysboro, seven at Willisville and
eight in the district between Bush
and West Frankfort.
Ten employes of the Iron Mountain
railroad at Bush are believed to have
been fatally Injured. They are be
ing brought to the Missouri Pacific
railroad hospital.
The roundhouse was demolished
and forty cars blown over at Bush.
A message filed at Bush last night ar
rived here today, saying that ten are
dead and the Injured will number one
hundred.
It is reported that three persons are
dead and seven Injured at Campus,
Illinois, near Kankakee as a result
of a tornado.
5 Killed at Grant Park.
Chicago, April 22. Telephone re
pair men arriving here say five were
killed by a tornado last night at
Grant Park, Illinois, near Kankakee,
and many injured. The damage is
reported to be half a million dollars.
Nino Dio at Morocco.
Morocco, Ind., April 22. Nine per
sons are dead here today and twenty
injured, one fatally, as a result of
Sunday's tornado. The damage will
reach half a million dollars.
The tornado wrecked the home of
Charles Rice here, killing seven "mem

win out for commissioner this fall.
They predict that victory for Fried
ly will be particularly easy If Walk

nee. The democrats wrote in the name of
F. C. Evers of Echo for county re
corder, T. C. Frazier of Milton for
clerk, Dr. T. M. Henderson for cor
oner. Prof, W. H. Beakeny for school
superintendent, and C. H. Carter for
circuit judge. It Is understood that
the nominees for clerk, recorder and
coroner will make the race, but
Charles H. Carter says he will not ac
cept for circuit judge while it is also
Improbable that Rev. Bleakeny will
run for the superintendency. The
name of Beakeny was written in by
the democrats with the purpose of
having an acceptable candidate avail
able in the event Frank K. Welles
was renominated. However, the
crushing defeat of Welles by Young
removes this necessity for a demo
cratic aspirant.
The names of J. R. Raley and S. A.
Newberry were written In by the dem
ocrats for district attorney and It will
toke the official count to show who
received the most votes. Whether
the democratic nominee will make
the race remains to be seen.
