Cabinet Holds Jubilee.
Columbus, Ohio, June 4. Controll
ing the Ohio state republican conven
tion by a good working majority, ad
herents of President Taft elected for
lilm today nix delegates at large to
the national convention and despite
desperate endeavors by the Roosevelt
clans, they obtained a clear cut en
dorsement of the present chief execu
tive for the republican presidential
nomination.
After the Taft victory. It was Im
mediately rumored that th Koosevelt
men would bolt the convention. The
first test of the strength between
Taft and Roosevelt came on the ques
tion of endorsement. Roosevelt men
attempted to substitute, for the ma
jority report endorsing Taft. a reso
lution lauding Roosevelt. On divis
ion Taft won with 392 1-2 votes to
Roosevelt's 359 1-2.
On the vote for delegates at large,
Roosevelt showed a trifle more
strength, the vote being 390 1-2 for
Taft and 362 1-2 for Rosevelt.

ARCHBAID HEARING EliDS BEFORE HOUSE
COMMITTEE; SENATE MAY NOW TAKE A HARD
Washington, D. C June 4. No wit
nesji In his own defense waa presented
today by Judge Archbald, of the
commerce court, before the house
committee on Judiciary, which Is in
vestigating charges against him. Ex
amination of witnesses ended this af
ternoon. Under the constitution, the house of
representatives votes and prepares
the articles, of Impeachment, against
the official under charges. It acta
as a sort of grand Jury preparing an
indictment. The senate is the trial
cdurt. It Is a tribunal of extraordi
nary dignity. Most of its members
are lawyers, and all are sticklers for
the usages. Two-thirds of its mem
bership Is necessary to find guilty.
The procedure In impeachments,
after the house has voted for such a
case, Is In this wise:
A committee of representatives for
Tiiallv calls on the senate, and officl
ally advise that body that the house
impeaches the official, presenting
their "indictment." In the formal
verlbage of the document, the house

Ran Francisco, June 4. "Political

of President Taft in giving an un
unconditlonal pardon to Wlllard
Jones of Portland, who was convict
ed of land fraud, "was the declaration
made today by Francis J. Heney, who
prosecuted the case against Jones.
"President Taffs explanation," con
tinued Heney, "that he was moved
to the act on the ground that improp
er methods were used in filling the
Jones Jury box, is all rot.
"Former Congressman Wheeler of
Pennsylvania, a millionaire lumber
man who Is heavily Itnerested in tim
ber lands of Pennsylvania and Ore
gon, is the man who brought great
pressure to bear in the Jones caae.
"Wheeler has wonderful political
Influence and he knows how to make
It count. He has been working for
months in Jones' behalf. I am not
surprised at President Taffs act."
ALL RAIN DOES NOT
FALL IN PENDLETON
If anyone desires to complain of
the amount of rain which falls upon
Pendleton during the year, let him
cast his optics upon the figures below
and be forever silent. Pendleton's
normal rainfall is only 14.08 inches
and think of one section of faroff In
dia being deluged with 10 inches or
more than fifty feet during & twelve
month period. Even Portland gets
soaked about four times as hard as
this city. The following table of
normal rainfall in different sections
of the globe will be interesting when
compared:

take proper notice.
Then the house appoints a commit
tee of its foremost lawyers, to act as
managers for the Impeachment pro-
committee t olook up precedents and
ceedings. The senate appoints a
aid. The accused official is repre
sented by counsel. The chief Justice
of the United States ia called in to
administer the special oath prescrib

trials. 1
The senate sits dally on the charges
and, as there are usually several
counts, each is voted on separately
If they are not sustained by a two-
thirds vote, an acquittal is ordered.
The senate has sat eight times In
impeachment cases, and only twice
found the official guilty. The last
case was that of Judge Charles
Swayne of the IT. S. district court for
the northern district of Florida. He
was acquitted after a trial lasting two
months.

andvantages which the different sec

Waffle in his tour was the difference
in the sports of European and Am

like it seems to be unknown to
the juvenile world of France and Ger
many In particular, he declares.
"Many times," he said, "I saw chil

They would take a small ball and
of how to use their hands In playing,
kick it around, but none ever at
tempted to throw or catch it."
The public playgrounds are a fea
ture of every city, he said, because
of the absolute necessity for such pro
vision. The homes have no lawns or
back yards as here in America, and.
in consequence, the municipalities
must provide places where the young"
can secure outdoor recreation.
