DECISION HAS GREAT EFFECT.
Judge Hanford Makes Ruling on oaths
and Land Laws.

In holding that Charles ID. OFT, clerk
IN Portland grocery house, was not
guilty Of perjury, Judge Hanford has
handed down decision which is like
~ 10 have a sweeping effect in con-
struction of land laws. In brief. the
courts decision was that where
homestead applicant is required to
take an oath prescribed merely by
regulation of the interior department,
and not by the statute, ne is not guilty
OF perjury II he swears falsely; that
perjury can only De committed where
false testimony is given under an oath
prescribed by the statute.
In August, 1902, OFT, who had en-
tered ON homestead near Prosser,
Yakima county, endeavored to COM
mute the homestead by paying cash.
The proof given in the land office
showed that he had not lived on the
homestead Il months, as required by
statute, and the patent apparently was
issued through a misrepresentation.
subsequently OFT and e. B. William
son, one of his witnesses at the time
the communication was made, were ar
rested on charge of perjury. They
had both sworn that OFT had resided
continuously on the land from Septem-
Der, 1901, to August, 1902-11 months
and that he had done a certain
amount of cultivation.
After the government had put in its
evidence tending to show that OFT had
not lived on the land as he had testi-
fed, and that the amount of cultiva-
ton claimed was not done, the attor-
neys for the defense moved to dismiss
the case. They said that the statute
did not require him to take any oath;
that the oath he had taken was pre-
scribed merely by the itnerior depart
ment, and that, accordingly, OFT could
not have been guilty of perjury.
Judge Hanford sustained this conten-
ton. He decided that there lis no fed
eral statute requiring an applicant for
a homestead to make affidavit Of resi-
dence upon the land, of constructing
a house thereon, or of cultivation of
any part thereon. In the absence of
such statute law, regulations of the
interior department requiring such an
affidavit are not sufficient, according
to Judge Hanford, to justify prosecu-
ton for swearing falsely under such
regulations.
Following the doctrine Of the courts
that criminal statutes must be con-
strued strictly, and in view of the
statutory requirement that the false
taking of an oath prescribed by fed
eral statute is necessary to establish
the crime of perjury, the court said
OFT could not be held. He will prob
ably follow up this decision by giving
the jury peremptory instruction this
morning to- find OFT not guilty.
The federal law relating to the oath
required of an applicant for a home
stead provides that affidavit shall be
made that no part of the land has been
alienated, and in addition the appli-
cant is required to take the oath of al
legiance to the United States. The law
does not require proof of residence
upon, occupation, Improvement and cul-
tivation of the land, but such proof
shall be made by two disinterested wit
nesses, instead of by the applicant
himself.

Senator Aldrich has received encouraS-

drawn by Senator Aldrich's committee

News from other sources indicates that
Senator Daniel OF Virginia and one or two
other Democrats are still unreconciled to
the proposed legislation. Such Of their op-
position, however. as is not based upon
the fact that the bill 10 a Republican
measure will probably collapse for lack OF
material TO subsist upon when it 10 made
clear that their assumption that the bill
contains a proposition for asset currency

that Senator German, the Democratic

purpose. announced shortly after his re-
cent return from abroad TO discourage
any factious opposition on the part OF the
minority to the proposed financial lesisla-

hold its next meeting for some time yet.
