PROSPECTS H E W F
HIED BASEBALL ARE FAVORABLE
With the election of Wesley N. ,
Matlock of this city temporary pres
blent and Ij. M. Brown as temporary
secretary-treasurer, the annual meet
ing of the Western Trl-state league
was hrnuKht to a close In Walla Wal
la yesterday afternoon. Little definite
official action was taken but the dis
ciihsinn between the representatives
makes the prospects for another year
of organized ball more favorable.
Mr. Matlock and Fred W. Lumpkin,
who represented the local club offi
cially, returned last night by auto
and they report the proposed meas
ures for cutting down the expense of
maintaining a club as making the
situation here in Pendleton more
hopeful.
These provisions are three In num
ber, to-wit; an absolute salary limit
of J 1200, a short season and the In
vesting of one man with the combin
ed offices of president, secretary and
treasurer.
The principal part of the meeting
vns taken up with a discussion of
the matter of holding down the sal
ury limit. Walla Walla and North
Yakima being equally Insistent with
Pendleton that the salaries paid in
the past two years are fatal to the
life of the league. Inasmuch as there
has heretofore been a limit fixed
only to be exceeded by some clubs, It
U proposed to have the five directors
of each club pledge themselves indi
vidually to keep within the limit, It
being the general sentiment that,
whereas one man might disregard his
promise, ,lt Is improbable that five
men would do so. Also a stiff pen
alty is proposed.
Sentiment was also unanimous for
a short season, one commencing dur
ing the first of April and ending dur
ing the middle of July. A 96 game
schedule Is proposed and, under it. It
li believed that the financing of the
clubs will be comparatively easy. It
Is figured that it will cost from J7500
to $8000 to run a club during that
season. With the receipts of last
year as a basis from the first 96
games played In, Walla Walla, North

RECEIVED ASSISTAHCE FROM OUTSIDE
M'ALESTER, Okla., Jun. 21 That
the three convicts whose dash for lib
erty from the state penitentiary here
cost their lives and those of three
prison officials and former United
States Judge - John R. Thomas, had
outside aid, was Indicated by evidence
heard by members of the board of
prison control.
Th revolver used by David Koontz.
leader of the mutinous prisoners, was
Identified as one recently sold by a
local hardware dealer. The salesman
recalled selling the weapon but the
Identity of the man who made the
himself Into the work of driving out
the federal troops.
The Illustration thows the army of
Villa scattered out over the road
leading Into OJinaga. He left Chl
huuhua with 1000 or more troops aft
er the generals he had sent north
with many more had failed to capture
Yaklmn and Pendleton, ench club's
share would be approximately $600
leaving but 11500 or $2000 to be rais
ed by subscription, whereas last year
Pendleton raised oVrr $1000.
The proposal to combine the three
offices of the league such us Is done
in the Northwest, Coast and Union
associations was proposed by Direc
tor Rundstrom of North Yakima as
n means of saving several hundred
dollars paid out each year In tele
grams, railroad fare and telephone
messHges between officers. Another
election will be held In the near fu
ture at which time it is probable that
I j. M. Brown of Walla Walla will be
chosen to the combined office.
Another Innovation proposed is a
board of arbitration consisting of one
representative from each town who
Is not a director. Disputes between
clubs will be settled by the represen
tatives from the towns not Involved
with the president acting as ex-offi-clo
member.
Preeldent Matlock and Secretary
Brown were Instructed to visit Baker,
La Grande and Lewiston in the inter
ests of baseball and with the view of
securing a six team league. Secre
tary Brown will probably be here to
morrow evening to meet with local
baseball fans who have the last word
us to whether or not this city will re
main In the league.
The representatives at the meeting
yesterday were: W. N. Matlock and
F. W. Lumpkin of PenReton; R. W.
Rundstrom and Manager Eddie Ford
of North Yakima; J. T. Crawford,
George Kellough, VDoc" Crews, Au

Rebels Floe Towti,
LAREDO, Texas, Jan. 21. Several
hundred rebels who were encamped
at Sanlgnacio. Mexico 40 miles south
of here are believed to have started
for Matamoras. The federals sent
from Nuevoluredo to engage the reb
els In battle found the camp deserted.
BREAK FOR LIBERTY
purchase has not been established. It
was also learned that a horse and wa
gon with a driver was standing at the
prison gates when the men made
their break. Members of the board
intimated that their inquiry so far had
failed to connect any "trusties" with
the planning or execution of the at
tempted escape. .
Virtually normal conditions prvailed
at the penitentiary today. At the
prison hospital It was said Miss Mary
Foster, the telephone operator; John
Martin, turnkey, and C. I. Wood,
guard, who were wounded during the
fight, would recover.
LAST BATTLE

after he took charge and began his
attack the federals, led by their gen
erals, were hurrying ticros the Rio

and his men had a hard ride across
the alkali desert into Ojinaga, but
they took part In the battle which
quickly followed their advent.

INJUNCTION IS 6RANTED
A6AINST PEDDLERS' LAW
PORTLAND- Ore.. Jan. 21. De
claring the so-calle3 peddlers law 'in
the state of Oregon is discrimina
tory and that its enforcement means
a violation of at least four points of
the federal constitution, executive of
ficers of Multnomah, Clatsop .. and
Hood River counties have been en
Jtined from its enforcement in a suit
filed In the federal court by an attor
ney for the Grand Union Tea corn
puny of New York.
The' peddlers law was passed by the
degrislature In 1909, and prohibits
persons going through the country
tuking orders for future delivery of
goods to consumers without first
passing through wholesale or retail
stores. It doesn't affect Incorporat
ed towns. Federal District Judge

junction and set a hearing for Janu
I'ary 30.
WISCONSIN EUGENIC LAW
IS DECLARED TO BE VOID
MILWAUKEE. Wis., Jan. 21. The
Wisconsin eugenic law regulating the
issuance of marriage licenses was held
unconstitutional by Circuit Judge E.
S. Eschweller.
Among other things, the court says
the law which provides for a physi
cian's certificate of health, including
the Wasserman test, is vllatlon of the
rights secured by the constitution and
that it conflicts with religious liberty
because It tends to halt marriages.
The court held that if the state
wished to exercise its right for pre
venting undesirables from marrying
it should assume the burden of weed
ing out the unfit and not case upon
the fit an unfair demand and thus
materially Impair an Inalienable right
Alfred Peterson and Miss Hattie
Schmidt made application for a mar
riage license at the office of the Mil
waukee county clerk on January 2,
the day on which the Wisconsin eu
genic law went Into force. Clerk WI
cel refused the petition because the
man did not have a certificate of
health from a physician as demanded
by law. Peterson immediately sought
recourse in the courts nd the de
cision by Judge Eschweiler will en
able him to secure the marriage li
cense without the medical examina
tion. MEN ON I.O.VO WALK

NEW YORK, Jan. 21. A party of

markable walk that any group'of men

NEW YORK, Jan. 21. Both per
sonal and press comment on President
Wilson's address to congress was fa

"I feel encouraged." said George
Gould, "and believe that business will'
be better."
Press comment follows: The times
"It's a fair, wise and Just program
of government policy and remedial
legislation.""
The Sun "The Sun discovers In

epochal."
The World "Such a message as
Wilson has written cannot fall to be

The Tribune "If railroad rates

business would begin to hum again."
,. LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 21. Strong
praise for President Wilson is voiced
in the Commoner in an editorial sign
ed by Bryan. It says in part:
"The currency reform is an estab
lished fact at last. For more than
ten years different. bodies, both offi
cial and unofficial, have investigated
the currency problem, but the plans
heretofore had in view the promotion
of the interests of financiers. . No
other president in recent years has
been free to undertake a currency re
form from the standpoint of the peo
ple. But when the present executive
took his oath of office, he entered up
on his duties without being under ob
ligation to special interests, and there
fore was in a position to urge the
change which has liberated the fiscal
world from bondage.
