Mitchell and Hermann VIII Be
Required to Put Up
Bonds.
NEW INDICTMENTS EXPECTED
II 10 Stated That There 10 Sufficient
Work for New Grand Jury to Con.
sumo Thirty Days in Order to Com.
plets All the Investigations.

Portland, April There will be an
other federal grand jury called, 1t IA
We'll established now that the present
grand Jury, which will be able to COM
plete the land fraud investigation in
Oregon, though a number OF indict.
mentB are to be returned.
II is claimed bonds are to be re-
qulred from Senator Mitchell and Con-
gressman Hermann, indicted for al
legged participation In land frauds
a batch OF new indictments Ia Ger.
tain 10 come with the reassembling OF
the federal grand jury next Tuesday,
and already many prominent people IN
various parts OF the country not here
tofore suspected of completely In any
OF the land frauds, are trembling in
their shoes at the prospects
II In announced authentlcally that
the grand jury win not be able TO hn-
Ish with the business in hand prior
to the time set for It's final adjourn
ment on April 10. and that II will be
necessary TO call another jury then. As
a matter OF fact, II Is considered Ger
tain that there Is a sufficient amount
OF work now under consideration TO
consume the time OF new grand jury
fully equally the period taken up by
the one retiring,
District Attorney Heney said some
time ago that there was enough work
in sight to occupy the attention of an
inquisitorial body for several months
to come, and while great expedition in
securing additional evidence for the
different cases has been made during
his absence II is not likely that any,
new investigations have been in pro-
gress outside Of those already under
consideration at the time he left.
The latest sensation attending the
return Of District Attorney Heney is
contained In the positive assurance
that Senator Mitchell and Congress
men Hermann anj Williamson
will be required to either give bond
at once or fall victims to bench war
rants from the court. as It is under
stood that Heney never consented to
their going free after the adjourn
ment of congress. They were permit
ter to go on their own recognizance at
the time of their indictment on ac-
count of congress being in session. but
for no other reason, and II is claimed
that Heney does not relish the Idea of
their being treated any different from
others under indictment.
II has been asked II there Is one
law for Jack Gardner S. A. D. Puter
and Horace G. Mckinley In this re-
spect, and another law for men In high
