I'm the federal court at Portland
business is now being ground out
steadily, but 1t will be year or long
er before Judge Wolverton can fully
catch up on cases that have accumu-
lated" said Attorney R. ]. Slater. who
returned this morning from Portland.
While in the city Mr.. Slater attend
ed to business in the federal court,
and among other things had ]. S.
Beckwith appointed as special master
in chancery, to take testimony in cases
from this place. There are four suits
that will be heard before him: Smith
VS.. Bonifer ct al, Alice Patawa VS..
United States ct al, Guiett VS.. Nc
Whirt ct al, and Guiett VS.. Mcintyre
ct al. Testimony in these cases may
now be taken at the convenience of
the parties interested. However, as
the district attorney or a deputy must
be present at the time to represent
the side of the government, it is not
known just how soon the cases may
be heard.
Among the other things involved in
the four suits is the question of cour-
tesy. or the right of an Indian to all
of his wife's land upon her death.
While the right of dover is not in
volved directly in any of these suits,
it is said that should the court hold
that the right of courtesy exists. the
dover right will also very likely be
upheld, though not necessarily so.
In the case of Ellen Parr vs.. John
Damon ct al, 1t is intended to have a
demurrer argued last Saturday.
However, as Judge Fee and Judge
Bean, attorneys in the case, had not
sufficient notice, the hearing was in
definitely postponed. In this case the
question of state court jurisdiction in
reservation affairs IL raised, and as
result the outcome is awaited with in
terest.
With the decision OF the cases now
pending from the Umatila reserva-
tion the title TO considerable land that
is now in controversy will be settled.
Most of the litigation is in regard to
heirship claims and when a few OF
the cases are decided precedents will
he established that will make the set
tlement OF similar cases easy.

demand for half the stock. He oh
jected to the trustee plan and did not
want me to go on without his aid.

sides Cleveland. O'Brien and Westing-
house. He wanted them to support
Hartman and everybody else to. also,
but he intended to carry out his own
plans despite objections.
Hartman said, as would not
agree to his plans, he would use all
his political influence against me- MY
understanding was there would he
legislative action. told him l pro-
posed to go on with the plans and did
not want him nor anybody else for a
partner. He telephoned me many
times, and finally told him it was
useless, as l would not change my
mind"
Ryan also sad Hartman used no
names in speaking of political influ-
ence. The conversations were strenu-
Gus. Hartman did not want any out
siders brought into the situation.
