Call Japan to Account.
Washington, April 13. The at
tack on Consul-General Straight and
the servants of - the American Con
sulate, at Mukedea, by Japanese
rowdies led. by a postman has stirred
the Administration to action. It Is
regarded as a much more serious
affair than appears upon the surface,
and prompt action will undoubtedly
be taken to obtain the reparation
I that Japan has so far refused.
STATEMENT No. I
LACKS MAJORITY
CAKE LEADS IN STATE BY 2,500
Ellis is Safe For Cengrfis lefeatins;
Both fieer anil Sliepard by tiiH)
Derby Probably Loses.
Portland. Ore., April 10. -A ma
jority of the Kepubllcan candidates
nominated for the Oregon Legisla
ture last Friday ran on anti-statement
No. 1 platforms; but because
of nine of ten hold-over Senators,
the Statement forces will control the
Slate Senate by election of the new
Uepubllcan nominees for that body.
In the House the Statement forces
will lack six ef a majority should
they elect all their Republican nomi
nees. In joint assembly they will lack
three of a majority, should Senator
Kay, who Is conditionally pledged to
the June election choice for Halted
States Senator, act with the State
ment forces. If he should refuse
to vote for a Democratic United
States Senator, In case he won In
June, the Statement men would lack
four of a majority.
The hold-over Senators pledged
to Statement No. 1 are nine In num
ber, or, including Senator Kay, ten.
These, together with the eight State
ment candidates nominated for the
Senate, give the Statement ranks 18
members out of the SO, or two more
than a majority. The Statement
candidates nominated for the House
number 25, and the seats In that
body number 60.
It thus appears that out of the 75
Republicans nominated for the Leg
islature, 33 are pledged to the June
election choice for United States
Senator, and that should all the
Statement candidates be elected, the
number, Increased with ten hold
overs, will give the Statement Winks
43 out of 90 seats in the Legislature.
The election of four or five Demo
cratic legislators in addition to all
the Sta'ement No. 1 Republican
nominees would give the Legislature
to the control of the Statement No.
1 forces.
H. M. Cake has defeated Charles
W. Fulton for the Republican nomi
nation for United States Senator by
a majority of approximately 2,260
votes..
Mr. Cake has carried Baker,
Clackamas, Columbia, Douglas, Jack
son, Lake, Linn, Marion, Multnomah,
Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wasco,
Washington and Yamhill Counties, a
total of 15, while Mr. Fulton has
been successful in Benton, Clatsop,
Coos, Crook, Gilliam, Grant, Jose
phine, Klamath, Lane, Malheur,
Morrow, Polk, Sherman and Tilla
mook counties, a total of 14.
In several of these counties, how
ever, the result Is quite close and It
make take the official count to show
which candidate has prevailed. It
Is probable that Fulton will carry
Curry and Harney and possibly
Wheeler. Lincoln Is general con
ceded to Mr. Cake. The majority
for Mr. Cake in Multnomah County
Is 2,017, a decrease from the prom
ise of the first returns.
The following candidates on the
Republican ticket were successful at
Friday's primary election:
United States Senator II. M.
Cake.
Representative in Congress First
District, W .C. Hawley; Second Dis
trict, W. R. Ellis.
State Food and Dairy Commis
sioner J. W. Bailey.
Supreme Judge R. S. Bean.
Railroad Commissioners First
District, Thomas Campbell; Second
District, C. B. Atchison.
The Democratic nominees are;
United States Senator George B.
Chamberlain.
Representative in Congress John
A. Jeffrey.
Lulu Goode Acquitted of Assault.
Salem Lulu Goode and her as
sociates, who horsewhipped the pre
siding elder of the Free Methodist
Church here about two weeks ago,
have been acquitted of the charge of
disturbing a rollglous meeting. The
evidence showed that the meeting
had adjourned before the disturb
ance took place.
Last week a warrant was sworn
out for the arrest of Jasper Geode
upon the charge of assault and bat
tery alleged to have been comm$te4
upon Rev. D. W. Cooke, Rev. W. K.
Coffee and Rev. J. F. Lewis, on
April 4, the date of the horsewhip
ping. Another warrant was sworn
out for the arrest of Lulu Goode oa
the charge of asault and battery
committed upon Mrs. Roper, wife of
the pastor of the church.
f HAW WANTS TO HE RELEASED.
Lawyers Will Apply for Habeas Cor
pus Writ, Denying He Is Insane,
Poughkeepsle, N. J., April 21.
The first step toward the release of
Harry K. Thaw from the Matteawan
Asylum for the Insane was taken to
day. James G. Graham, of New
burg, of Thaw's couusel, made ap
plication to Justice Morschauser. at
White Plains, for an order directing
the superintendent of the asylum to
permit Thaw to sign a formal appli
cation for a writ of habeas corpus.
The order was granted, and when
Thaw has made the application he
will probably be brought before a
Justice for a hearing to determine
whether or not he is sane.
The Astoria Chamber ot Commerce
has made arrangements for the
charter of a steamer to take the
members and their families on an
excursion outside the bar to greet
the American battleship fleet as it
passes the mouth ot the Columbia.
Governor George E. Chamberlain
will begin an active and aggressive
campalcn for popular endorsement
for United States Senator at once.
Whether it will be a stump-speaking
campalcn or a still hunt will depend
largely upon the sort of campaign
the Republican candidate will put
up.
The low prices that have ruled In
the hop market for the last few
years have not eaused many Oregon
hop growers to go out ot business.
Perhaps 2, BOO or 2,000 acm have
been plowed up in the entire state,
but enough yards are left, under fa
torable conditions, to produce a crop
,s large. If not larger, than that ot
0T.
Co-operation In road building Is
an experiment now to be tried near
Weston. The farmers, the county
of Umatilla and the town of Weston
will join Interests In making three
miles or roadway leading from Wes
ton to Wildhorse creek.
O. R. 4 N. Detective Wood has
arretted two more box-car thieves
at Umatilla and brought them to
Pendleton and landed them In jail.
They were caught In the act of rifl
ing a box-car, and when arrested had
In their possession 2,000 cigars.
Crime Was Caused by Jealousy.
Marshfield An Insane jealousy
created by a mad love for the girl
who would not marry him on his
demand was shown before the Cor
oner's jury on Friday as being the
only motive which prompted John
Grills, aged 21 years, to murder Miss
Ora Roby, aged 22 years, and com
mit suicide near the girl's home.
The youthfulness of the victims
ot the tragedy and the fact, that both
are well known and connected with
respected families created a sensa
tion locally.
Fleet at Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, Cal., April 20. The
city today began Its week's enter
tainment of the Atlantic fleet. For
the next six days officers and men
will participate in a variagated pr
gran which will occupy nearly every
hour of the time. A four-day pro
gram for the sailors began at Chutes
Park this morning. Turee thousand
sailors were given liberty from the
ships and were escorted from the
beach cities to Los Angeles In free
trolley cars.
At the park every variety of en
tertainment was provided. More
than 50 three-round boxing bouts
are scheduled to take place mere
during the week by the Los Angeles
Athletic Club. James J. Jeffries is
master of all athletic exercises and
referee of the boxing bouts. Fenc
ing contests, balloon ascensions,
high dives and scores of similar at
tractions were put on tor the amuse

ORCHARD PLANTING AT HERMISTON
Pendleton District Attorney Brings
Action Against Buckley fur Ylo
lation of the 11-Ilonr Law.
Hermlston More rapidly than
ever before the desert in the west
end of Umatilla county Is giving
way to the onslaughts of reclaiming
water. Hundreds of acres ot sage
brush land are being cleared. Trees
are being planted and fields seeded
to alfalfa. Homes are springing up
In the desolate sagebrush hills. The
blowing and shifting sand is being
conquered. All this is because tbe
Government is now furnishing water
to 7,000 acres under the Umatilla ir
rigation project.
Within a year 15,000 acres more
will be opened for irrigation and
construction work will be done. It
will then only remain for the Gov
ernment to supervise the distribution
ot the water for the next ten years,
until Its part is complete.

tions, charging violations of the 14
hour law, against M. J. Buckley, gen
eral superintendent of the O. R. &

cuit Court last week by District At
torney Phelps. The complaint al
leges that a freight train crew was
kept on tbe road for 17 hours with

gon's 14-hour-Iaw, and it will prob
ably be the last, since the Federal
law making 16 hours the maximum
run supersedes the state law.
