From Reliiff Locked Up Took Many
Veniremen to Make Up Jury.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7. The

Strenuous attempts on the part of
the defense to have the trial of Diggs,
accused of violating the Mann white
slave act, transferred to Sacramento,
were frustrated yesterday when Judge
Van Fleet sitting In the first division of
the United States district court, de
nled the motion of Attorney Farshall
W'oodworth, for the defense, for a
change of venue.
Immediately following the denial of
Woodwopth's motion, the impanel
ment of the Jury was begun. Otjly 27
names remained out of the 100 turn
moned on the regular term venire, all
the others having been excused either
for the whole or a portion of the three
months' term.
When court adjourned at noon the
box was filled with 12 of the 27 men
remaining on the panel, not one of
whom had been passed.
More than an hour of the morning
session was consumed with the hear
ing of excuses by the veniremen,
scores of whom were excused on ac
count of Interference with business,
family Illness, official connection with
the United States government and
other reasons.
After the hearing of excuses, Attor
new Woodworth moved that the trial
of Diggs be transferred to Sacramento,
Teading a lengthy affidavit made by
Diffgs in support of his motion.
'The affidavit set forth that the de
fendant invoked his constitutional
right to be tried where the alleged of
fense was charged In the Indictment
to have been committed. It said that
Dlgg'a home, relatives and friends
were all In Sacramenta and that it
would seriously hinder and embarrass
his defense to try him In San Fran

ROUND-UP SPECTATORS

FREE FROM OLD PEST
To cut out the short change'
artist, the over charge and the
dispensing of slop, junk dish-
water and other undrlnkable
stuff, the Round-up will this
year conduct the soft drink con-
cession under its own supervls-
ion. There will be no other
concession let for the grounds of
any kind or character outside
of the soft drink and the pro-
gram. Neither "hot dogs" nor
hamberger nor any other thing
of the kind will be sold on tho
grounds or in the grand stand.
no peanuts, souvenirs or any-
thing. The Intention Is to keep
all those people out ot the
grounds and give the people who
have paid their money a chance
to see the show. Ticket scalp-
era have been eliminated as far
as possible by restricting the
sale of seats to any one per-
son to ton reserved seats or one
box and every precaution Is be-
lng taken to safeguard the spec
tators from the grafter. '
PARIS MEXICANS
OBJECT TO MEDIATION
PARIS, Aug. 7. Not in pro

Llnd as a peacemaker but a pro-
test against what is termed
interference, is made In a state-
ment issued by the Paris Junta
of the Mexican constitutional-
ists. It reads: "We learn John
Llnd has been sent to Mexico
as a mediator, practically rep-
resenting the president. The
constitutionalists here while
appreciating the correct attitude
of President Wilson, energeti-
cally protest against this pre

RADER MAKES BOW
IN BIG BRUSH BY
EXTRA BASE DRIVE
Don Rader, former Pendleton play
er who left peveral weeks agb to Join
the .Chicago White Sox, made his for
mal deput in the big leagues yester
day and It was just the kind that
tickles all of his friends here. He re
placed Larry Chappelle in left field
In the third Inning, got two putouts
in two chances, faced the pitcher
twice, and got the only extra-base hit
of tho game which was one of three
hits Chicago got off of the Washing
ton pitchers. Tt was a two-base blow
and he finished the circuit for one of
the two scores his team made. All
In all ,hls showing was a pretty cred
itable one for a youngster who has
never played In circles higher than
Class D.
His opportunity to get In the game
came when Chappelle and Collins col
lided In the second inning while going
after Milan's Texas leaguer back of
second. Collins was knocked uncon
scious and Chapelle was so badly Jar
red that he was pulled from the
game in the next Inning and replaced
by the Pendleton boy. Walter John
eon, the great speed merchant, twirl
ed the first for innings for Wtshlng
ton, but, with his victory assured he
was taken out and replaced by Gallia
who allowed but two hits in five In
nings, one of which was Rader's dou
ble. ,

FACT THAT CONSTITUTIONALISTS
WANT ARMS FROM THIS COUNTRY
MAY CAUSE HUERTA TO 8E GOOD
(By John Nevln.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. If Huerta
Insists that Llnd the president's em
issary Is persona-non-grata, and re
fuses to consider his suggestions, this
will not in Itself mean armpd intpr-
ention in Mexico. This Is made da in
by administration officials. If that,
however, should be developed as the
Huertas position, it Is probable the
embargo on the Mexican insurgents
Importing arms from the United States
will immediately be raised. A ma
jority of the senate favors such ac
tion. Huerta's official declaration not
to receive Llnd unless the United
States recognizes him as president Is
not taken seriously by the president
or Bryan. The most serious dancer
in the situation la that personal in
sults or violence may be offered Und.
If so the sternest measures will Im
mediately follow.
STANDPIPES FOR
WOULD SAVE DELAYS DURING FIRES
To prevent the fire companies from
attaching hose to a dead hydrant as
was done at the first fire of Tuesday
night. Superintendent Frank Hays of
the waterworks, recommended to the
city last evening that standpipos be
installed on the main streets for the
use of the street flusher, explaining
that the mechanism of a hydrant was
extremely delicate and that constant
use soon renders it unserviceable.
Since the city began operating the
street flusher, he said, the water de
partment had repaired seven of these
hydrants at a cost of from five to
seven dollars each. The matter was
referred to the fire and water com
mittee. Superintendent Hays also took oc
casion to correct a statement made by
a local paper to the effect that the
pumps at the water plant were not
started until after one o'clock on the
night of the fire. "All three of the
pumps operate 24 hours every day,"
he said, "and all three were In oper
ation when tho fire broke out "

The principal streets of Pendleton
are to be provided with receptacles
for papers, peelings and such other

throwing In the streets. Councilman
