PORTLAND, April 25.-United
States District Judge C. B. Beilinger
this morning overrued the plea in
abatement of United States Senator
John H. Mitchell and the other de-
PENDANTS in the Oregon land fraud
cases. The decision is exhaustive,
covering 26 pages of typewriter mat

point raised. AS a result the defend
ants must stand early trials as the only
remaining dilatory actions are demur-
rers and the courts decision leaves no
apparent ground for a demurrer.
The court holds that the grand jury
was legally organized. The objections
as to the qualifications of the jurors is
found without force. There is no de-
feet in the organization which would
invalidate the jury. Regarding the
right of Heney to act as United States

vault or lodging house in this city, it
is believed there is $4,000 belonging
to Albert Youss, who was killed at

at Cripple Creek, Col, and is said to
have accumulated $4,000. He had the
money with him when he reached
Portland. After remaining here sew
eral weeks he went to Hot Springs

first reported as a case of suicide, but
later developments indicated murder.
The body was shipped to his home at
Cripple Creek, and an investigation
begun.
The officers at Hot Springs failed to
find mis- trunk or any other of his be-
longings. Evidence was secured, how
ever, which caused the belief that ne
left the money in this city.

, the allegations of prejudice of Heney
against Mitchell, stating that it was
a mere matter of opinion, and even if
true would not suffer to set aside the
indictment. Heney's influence with
the grand jury could not be affected by
his residence. The court holds the
validity of the proceedings before the
grand jury could not be assailed by a
plea in abatement, inasmuch as it is
the practice in the federal court to fol-
low state procedure and such a plea
is not recognized by the oregon stat
uteS.
Mitchell Hermann, Williamson and
the other defendants were present.
United States Attorney F. J. Heney is
much elated over the decision. He
says: "It is a clean sweep and clears

still a demurrer to be argued, but it is
mere matter of form and the defend

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 25.-De-
snte the assurances of business men
and strong financiers that all depos-
jtors of the First National bank will
be paid dollar for dollar, an immense
crowd of people began to gather in
front of the bank at an early hour this
morning At $50 long line was
formed AMI kept in order by heavy
body of police. The cro.v1 showed evi-
iences of being panic-stricken.
The crowds of people also waited
long for the opening of the doors Of
the Milwaukee Trust company, despite
assurances that the concern was not
involved in the financial troubles of
the First National or of the Bigelow.
The latter was a director of the COM
pany, but was removed as soon as his
defalcation became known. By 9:45
a. m. the crush of people at the doors

gregate of 5000. There was no dis
order aside from ordinary pushing and

Thomas Spence, a we'll known real
estate man, escorted by ten policemen,
