TWO MEN, SAME NAME
RUN FOR SAME OFFICE
ST. PAUL, March 7. What's In a
name? There are two men in St.
Paul who have been attempting for
the past two months to figure out just
what there Is in their names. They
both bear exactly the same names
down to the very last letter and to
the pronunciation. Their name is Au
gust Hohenstein. One Is a grocer and
the other Is agent for a life insurance
company. Both are old residents ot
St. Paul and both are today in the
running for the city council. Neith
er Is willing to withdraw in favor of
his namesake.
Under the state law the names that
appear on ballots cannot nave any
designating mark. For Instance. Au
gust Hohenstein the grocer could
not have "No. 1" placed after his
name to set him apart from the life
Insurance agent of the same name.
Compromises, law suits, settlements
and grand jury indictments are
threatened by both Hohenstelns to
force each other to withdraw but
neither will give In ami the prospects
are that both names will go on the
ballot. The attorneys who are trying
to adjust the matter are on the verge
of hysterics. They don't even know
how they'll tell which one is elected.

FORMER LOCAL MINISTER
RETURNS TO PAY VISIT
REW GEORGE W. KENNEDY RE
NEWS FRIENDSHIPS AM
ONG OLD TIMERS.
Back In Pendleton after 32 years.
Rev. George W. Kennedy, who in the
early eighties was the only minister
of the gospel in Umatilla county,
save a Catholic missionary' among the
Indians, is renewing old acquaintances
with pioneers and incidentally taking
orders for a book which he has writ
ten, entitled "The . Pioneer Camp
fire." in which there are several chap
ters devoted to Pendleton and sur
rounding country.
Rev. Kennedy is well remembered
here by the old timers. He came in
1880 and built with his own hands
the first parsonage in this city. Only
half et his time .was given to the city
for he required to travel all over the
county. For instance, he held ser
vices at two school houses on the
Meadows, at three school houses on
Birch creek and at one on Camas
Prairie. He tells a story of a visit
to the Ross sheep camp. Introduced
as Mr.. Kennedy, .Mr. Ross inquired
4f he were the Kennedy of "Kennedy's
Sheep-dip." "No," he says he ans
wered, "I do not dip my sheep, I
sprinkle them." and gave a demon
stration on the following Sunday when
several persons came forward for
baptism. 4
In his book Rev. Kennedy speaks of
many of the pioneer families of the
city. He mentions particularly Lot
Livermore and R. Alexander and .al
so pays tribute to "the Gilliams, the
Jordans, the Pecks, the Bensons, the
Raleys, the Kauffmans, the Robblns,
Dr. Pruett. the Lees and the De
spains." One of the particularly enjoyable
visits he has had while here was
with Judge "Tom" Fits Gerald with
whom he went to school as a boy at
Belpassl near the present city of
Woodburn, Ore. They had not met
for many years and the minister did
not recognize the judge at first. Rev.
Kennedy will remain here until Mon
day. He is living at present In Hood
River and Is retired from the minis
try. IVrsonalUy In Teaching Discussed

Sif PHELPS 10 CALL
MM
TUESDAY
Law and Order League of City Will
Have Opportunity to Present
Evidence of Lawlessness.
MEMBERS REMAINING SILENT
Nothing Is Known About What Ac
tion May be Taken. Though Bulgin
Cliarged He Had Evidence to prove
His Charges Detectives Reported
to Have Been Hired by League,
The law and order league, organ
ized this week through the efforts of
Evangelist E. J. Bulgin for the pur
pose of "cleaning up" the city, will
have an opportunity of presenting
their evidence to 'a grand Jury next
-week. Circuit Judge Phelps stating
this afternoon that he would issue a
call to the Jurymen to convene Tues
day. In making the call, he declares there
is nothing unusual in it inasmuch as
when he dismissed the Jury it was only
temporarily and was caused by illness
in the family of one ot the jurors. The
jury thus ended Its January term
without cleaning up all of the cases
on hand and without examining the
county poor farm and the county of
fices. There now being a half dozen
cases to be presented for the consid
eration of the jury and. inasmuch as '
he is required to be In Heppner with
in two weeks. Judge Phelps believes
the coming week is the opportune
time for the adjourned session.
"At the same time." he said this af
ternoon, "if anyone has any evidence
to present tending to show that the
laws are being violated here in Pen
dleton, they will have full opportunity
to do so." '...:
As to what action they will take,
members of the law and order league
are still silent. At the opening ot the
campaign Evangelist Bulgin declared
he had evidence to prove that gambl
ing, prostitution and bootlegging were
being practiced here under police
protection and he read the names of a ;
number of men whom he would sum
mon before the grand Jury.
Since that time the league has held
several meetings and appointed a com
mittee to carry on the campaign. It
is said that a special attorney ha been
hired and that detectives have been
retained to secure evidence. During
the past two days It Is reported that
several detectives have been on tha
Job. At least the saloonmen are acting
upon that assumption and are eyeing
every stranger with suspicion. One
saloon proprietor yesterday ejected
two strangers from his barroom be
cause he suspected they were detec
tives, arhey called for a drink and he
promptly ordered them outside, add
ing that unless they went forthwith
he would use his boot. "I may have
made a mistake." he said, "but I
haven't any use for detectives and am
not taking any chances on having
them hanging around. "
