First Official Photograph of a Charge at Verdun , 1 o ii idi .tail ik . " k9ak: - " 31 Statement is Made of Cash Used for Votes in Electing Miss Saling as Rose Queen Unable, apparently, to comprehend the aMIIty of Pendleton to raise enough money to purchase mure than seven million votes for the election of her candidate tor qaeen of the Rose Festival, t'orvallls Is reported to have raised the howl of "frame-up" und to have communicated her "peeve" to Eugene. Yesterday R. P. Richardson, man ager of the festival contest, wrote to Pendleton asking for a statement of the money raised here and for other Information for publication to clear up the false charges. Members ol the committee In charge met yester day afternoon with Secretary Cran ston of the Commercial Association, who acted us munuger, and prepared a detailed statement of receipts and disbursements, together with certain explanations. This was forwarded last evening. The statement shows that there wns collected in all. during the campaign $1295 and that of this amount $1286.35 was spent for votes. The balance was used for Incidental expenses such us postnge, telegraph and telephone tolls With the exception of $24 spent for votes at the regular rate of one dot lar a thousand and $50 spent during "Button Week" at the rate of 2000 votes for a dollar, all of the balance, or $1212.35, was spent during the ten days In which the special rate of 6000 for one dollar was offered. The com mittee took a gambler's chance In passing up the first special of 2000 for one dollar to wait for something bet ter which they suspected would fol low toward the end of the contest. Al so the committee advanced the am ounts whlcjh they considered would be taken In at the Bingham Springs benefit and the second benefit dance In order to place the money during the time of the big offer. They guess ed so well as to the amount which j would be received that there was a difference of only a few dollars to make up. I The charge of "frame-up" does not I sit well upon Pendleton after she his I paid the price of her success. The local committee feels that the contest was conducted entirely "on the square" and points out that the ma.i ' agement of the contest was In no po- sltlon to play false for the reason that the big majority of Miss Saling's votes were purchased by Portland friends of the commute without disclosing tor whom the votes would be cast. Moreover, Secretary Cranston states in his letter to Mr. Richardson, the committee could have raised $2500 Just us easily as it dtd the J12S0 had it considered that amount necessary anil. In this connection, he points out the fact that the $Ju raised by sub scription by the publicity committee, was secured In a three hour canvass. Neither the Round-up nor the Com mercial association vrus asked to con tribute a cent us it was considered, in the event of victory, that these organ izations would probably lie called up on for assistance in seeing that the city be property represented in the festival parades The statement shows the receipts from the following sources: Benefit dance on May 11, $71; benefit dance May II, iiin, two Oelta benefits, 129.80; donuted by Civic Club, $5; by Eastern Star, $5; Bingham Springs benefit, $16.75; subscribed by former Pendletoniiins living In Portland, $10, from sale 0( buttons $64. 76; collected by publicity committee, $850; sub scribed in smull amounts during cam- puign on "Committee of 100" paper and contributed voluntarily, $112.70 making a total of $1295. Of this amount $421.35 was sent in directly by Secretary Cranston, $7E was remitted to B. E. Kennedy of Portland for the purchase of votes, $50 to II Uaruh, $25 to A. L. Fish, $50 to I'll. w ilea Stott, $460 to Miss Leoma Lucas, ami $195 to Dale Chessmun. The ten dollars raised by former Pen dletonluns was turned in by A. Ruppe. The money actually sent In through the committee purchased 7,318,100 votes. A total of 76,200 votes was cast by the Evening Telegram for Miss Saling upon the coupons Issued to local people taking subscriptions to that paper. ....... en Muriel's total vole was 7,483,026, leaving 8,726 to be ac counted for by newspaper coupon votes and votes purchased by several people unknown to the local manage, inent Wheat Takes Heavy Drop in Chicago Today CHICAGO, May 22.

Republicans Make Ready to Launch Boom for Colonel NEW YORK, May 22. The regulur republicans opened their headquarters for a Roosevelt boom today. The Rnoseveltians are all former Taft men. No progressives are among them. They plan to shortly move the headquarters to Chicago. George Von Meyer, chairman of the delegation, has an appointment with the colonel this afternoon. It was believed that Roosevelt would stump the middle west soon. Hughes' secretary denied the print ed story in which it was said that Hughes declared the republicans will nominate Roosevelt, so there was no use In considering anybody else. It was said that Hughes did not recog nize Irresponsible rumors. The jus tice remains quiet, apparently Indif ferent regarding his candidacy.

Complete returns have been receiv ed by the East Oregonian on the re publican primaries from 58 out of the 64 precincts. Returns on the demo cratic races have been received but from 51 precincts and on the road bonds but from 53. Many of the elec tion Judges made the mistake of lock- 'ing all of their statements up in the j boxes and at the county clerk's office hardly more than half of the returns can be secured until an order from the court unlocks the boxes- Many of the missing precincts have been reached by the East r iregonlan by tel ephone but a few ef the outlying ones could not be communicated with. County Clerk Saling will probably begin a canvass of the votes tomorrow und will be assisted by Justice of the Peace Parkes and Justice Sholl of Echo.

Dr. Doney expressed the great nei of the development of the human soul. He said that all things come from the sou' and all things are made by the soul, and therefore ail things live with the soul forever.
