Indictments In Oregon Show Gil
gantic Frauds.

PORTLAND. 0RE., February l3.-The United
States grand jury late today returned an in
dictment charging United States Senator
Mitchell, Congressman John n. Williamson
and Binger Hermann and others with having
conspired To have created the Blue Mountain
Forest Reserve in Eastern Oregon, with the
intent of defrauding the government Of public
lands, and also Of conspiring to obtsin posses
sion OF more than 200. 900 acres OF public and
school lands situated in several states, of the
value Of more than IS, 900, 900.
Indictments were also returned by the fed
eral grand jury this afternoon against former
United States District Attorney John II. Hall,
Private Detective H. p. Ford, former Major
H. L. Rees, Deputy Sheriff John Cordano, A.
p Caylor. local grain broker, and Saloon
keeper Fred Simpson.
The charge against Hall, Rees, Ford, Cor
dane and Caylor is that they eonspired to de-
feat the ends OF justice by attacking the repu-
tation of District Attorney Heney.
Rees was formerly connected with the Pay
master Generals office, in Portland, and was
cashiered for embezzlement. The grand jury,
Immediately after the indictments were re-
turned, was dismissed from farther attendance
until it may be summoned, probably sometime
in March, after United States District Attorney
Heney returns from Washington, where he
will go tomorrow to argue before the United
States Supreme Court a motion for a writ of
haheas corpus in the Hyde and Dimond case.
