The position to which Mr. Tatom was selecter is one of the most Im portant on the board in view of the fact that it has to do with the biggest problems of the Round-up. The mat te? of furnishing sleeping accommo dations to thousands of people is no small one for a city the size-of Pen dleton and thorough organization and hard labor Is necessary to accom plish it Mr. Tatom will begin Im mediately upon the work of listing the rooms and beds In the private homes of the city and will work out a system whereby as little Inconven ience as possible will be occasioned the home people and visitors. ., He will choose a committee to assist him and will hire a corps of efficient men to work In the accommodation head quarters which for the time being will be In the board of trade room. ft is AVIATOR WHO BEAT FAST .It I EXPRESS aIN IN RACE UNION CONTRACT WOULD RE UNCONSTITUTIONAL PORTLAND TO HAVE A DANCE CENSOR SALEM.

The statement explained such legislation was not attached to the currency bill because there was no time in which to prepare the plan. Tho president promised to secure early action to complete a rural credit scheme. The president's statement said In part: "There's been too little federal legislation framed to serve the farm er directly with a deliberate adjust ment of his real needs. Wo long ago felt the habit of assuming that Am erican farmers enjoyed such Immense natural advantage over the farmers of the re-st of the world, Were so In tclligent and enterprising, and so a ease upon tho Incomparable soils o our continent, that they could pros per no matter what handicap they carried. y. ' ; -we never ' exaggerated their ca pacity and opportunity, but neglected to analyze their burdensome dlsad Vantages. One of the chief dlsad vantages has been the farmers have not been able to secure extended ban accommodations which they need every year without paying hurdensom rates of Interest and saddling them selves with mortgages and obllga tlons of every kind." f- j) f r 4 j ifP i H v - - J GIRL S STORY OF RENO TRIP TOLD AT TRIAL Heavily Veiled But Composed, Miss Warrington Resumes Details of Escapade tWith Diggs.

The recent race between a rail flyer and an aero plane, demonstrated what may be ex pected from air-craft when the time comes that they are made absolutely ssfe for general traffic. The race was fiom New York to Washington, D. C. At one point the, train pounded along the rails at a terrific rate, 100 miles an hour being the pitch of the tune to which the engine sang. While the train stood at a station, the crew thinking the aeroplane was some distance behind, the latter craft was soaring ahead at an unrecorded speed. When calculations were made U was figured that the aeroplane had beaten the train by 45 minutes. This spectacular flight was made by Lieut. Thomas De W. Milling, who formerly held the American record for endurance, sustained flight and non stop flying. The official figures for his latest flight were 250 miles. He remained in the air one hour and 17 minutes. MRS. HAZZARD WILL GO TO PENITENTIARY OLYMPIA. Wash., Aug. 13.

Mrs. Hazzard appeal ed from the verdict which was return ed at Port Orchard February 4, 1912 ENUNCIAT0R TRIED OUT AT ROUND-UP As a result of a demonstration of the electric enunciator at Round-up SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13. Mer cilessly attacking her character in a previous Reno affair and forcing her to bare every clandestine act and her intimacy with Diggs, Miss Warrington at noon was being subjected to a gru elling cross-examination by Attorney Coghlan for the defense. Every se cret relationship with the defendant seemed gathered by the defense and hurled at her remorsely, from the ad mitted introduction to Diggs on a street corner under a fictitious name, through many early indiscretions and finally to wild Joy rides In Sacramen to county and frequent visits to oth er California cities, where all night stops at hotels were made by Diggs, CaminettI, Warrington and Norris. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13. Heav ily veiled and composed, Miss War rington resumed the stand today af ter John S. Chambers, editor of the Sacramento Bee, denied the paper had possession of a story in the Diggs Caminettl scandal which it intended publishing. Her voice was stronger than yesterday. After detailing that Diggs occupied a room with her at the Riverview hotel on the night of their arrival In Reno, and Camlnetti with Miss Norris, she testified that both wanted to return to Sacramento but Diggs and CaminettI persuaded them not to because it might lead to a discovery of the men's whereaSxuts. she stated Diggs Introduced her as his Park this morning it Is more thani-jfe m renting a bungalow Somehow the majority of our good deeds never get found out. Though the entire Pendleton acad-1 my property, consisting or two buildings and lots which have since been laid out as Wade's addition, sold about a year ago for J9000, It now appears that insurance in that am ount was carried upon the one build ing which was burned last week and reports have it that the insurance companies will make a searching in vestigation before paying the losses. At the time of the fire, it was known that there was a $6000 policy carried by the owners, Lincoln and Beulah Meador of Walla Walla, with the Cit izens' Insurance Co. of Missouri through Heard & Folsom, local agents, but not until the last day or so did it become known that another policy for $3000 was carried with the Pacific Mutual Insurance Co. O. W, Coutts. local agent of that company, declared this aitcrnoon mat such a policy had been taken out on the building by the Presbyterian board of trustees and had since been assigned to Henry T. Hill and by him to tho Meadors without the knowledge of the company. Moreover, he asserts that his company had never been no tified that another $6000 policy had been written on the property. He states that there is a question as to whether the policy is valid in view of these circumstances and intimates that his company will make a close Investigation before paying. Charles Heard of the firm of Heard & Folsom, stated this afternoon that he had not been notified of the policy with the Pacific Home because of the fact that the Hartman Abstract Co., which placed the Insurance was not aware of Its existence. The $6000 policy was written when the property- was in possession of Thomas Hall who purchased It from Hill and sold it to the Meadors. In order to be present at the ad justment which Is scheduled to take place tomorrow, H. M. Crooks, pres ldent of Albany college and a member of the Presbyterian board of trustees, is here today. The board had a mort gage of $3500 on the building and President Crooks is looking after the nterests of the board. probable that the spectators at the frontier show next month will receive their information about the events and performers through horns affixed to post in each section of the grand stand and in front of each section of the bleachers. The demonstration showed conclusively that the electric enunciator has been perfected to a practical point and the directors of the association were much impressed with ifs utility. A meeting will be held this afternoon or this evening to discuss terms for the purchase or lease of a sufficient system. The demonstration was made by J C. Scott of the Portland Enunciator Company, assisted by John Vaughan, local electrician. For the purpose (Continued on Page 8) "Diggs said it was up to us whether or not they went to the peniteniary," stated Miss Warrington. explaining that her paramour warned her to keep the facts from the authorities. "He said, don't tell the officers anything. If you are asked say that we two men occupied one bedroom and you girls another. When the officers knocked on the door we were in the bathroom. Mr. Beasley came In and we girls started to cry. Then he put his arms about us, to comfort us. I telephoned father at the request of Diggs, to have the warrants withdrawn. Fath er said he could not, as the matter was in the hands of the state authorities." Millinery also shows which way the wind blows. UNO IS HOPEFUL OF SETTLEMENT WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 The house committee on foreign affairs expects to ask President Wilson for a conference on Mexican affairs. It wishes to secure the same information given the senate committee. In dis patches to the state department. Llnd reports all Is satisfactory in Mexico City. He seems hopeful of the ulti mate success of his mission. According to advices received at the state department, if Llnd fails to bring quiet, the present embargo on the importation of arms from this coutnry may be raised without serious danger of extensive massacres to Am ericans. Wilson and Bryan still believe that Lind will be able to show Huerta how he can make certain concessions and still "save his face." Lind may confer privately with Hu erta if a conference can be arranged. LAND FOR FISH HATCHERY IS DENIED Because the Indians of the Umatilla reservation arc found to be unani mous against granting reservation land to the state for use as a fish hatchery at Gibbon the application of the state fish and game commission for Buch land has been formally de nied by the Interior Department. Notice to this effect has been re ceived here by Major Swartzlander, agent upon the reservation and he In turn has notified Messrs.
