TIMBER LAND BILL READY.
Senate Committee Favors Repeal, but
Fulton VIII Fight 1t.

Senate Committee Favors Repeal, but
Fulton VIII Fight 1t.
Washington, March 49, The senate
public lands committee today virtually
completed the bill to repeal the timber
and stone act and authorize the sale of
public timber at not less than it's APP
praised value, small dealers to be given
preference in the sales and miners free
use of timber for domestic purposes,
the same as in forest reserves.
An amendment insisted upon by Sem
ator Fulton will be adopted giving the
counties 10 per cent of the amount of
sales in their respective limits in lieu
of taxes.
The committee is also framing bill
to permit homestead entry of agricul-
tural land In forest reserves. This bill
is designed particularly to meet the
principle objection to reserves in Ida
no. Senator Dubois is strongly urging
this measure and predicts its passage.
Mr.. Fulton is the only member of the
committee opposed to the repeal of the
timber and stone act, but other West
ern senators agree with him and will
join him in opposition to the bill when
1T comes up in the senate. In case it
is impossible to prevent the passage of
the bill by the senate, Mr.. Fulton will
seek to increase the amount to be paid
counties from the receipts Eof timber
sales from 10 to rs per cent.
The Oregon senator is SO Thoroughly
convinced of the individuality of re-
pealing the timber and stone act that
he will carry his fight to the house and
seek to induce the house committee to
table the senate bill, just as it has
heretofore tabled similar bill in the
house. He feels certain that this leg.
islation will be killed in the house. If
not in the senate.

| Il 80 ordered by the court, and wnsn
tbis II done, another effort will be made
to act date for Hsrmann's trial
From statements made by his counsel
last Friday, it Is believed that hef-
mann will seek permission to make . :
special appeal to the Circuit Coul1 !, ~ =
Appeals, but 1t is not at all probable
that any such appeal will be grantee
while counsel has made no statement
about the case, court officials believe
that Hermann will not seek to eyade
trial ON account OF his constitutional
right Of exemption during the session
OF congress, and it is therefore believed
that bis case will be tried some time
next month.
From the steps taken up to this time
| it is apparent that Hermann's defense
will be solely on the contention thai
the letter books destroyed by his order
were not "public records. The de-
tense does not deny the destruction o.
| 35 letterpress copy books, but virtually
admitted this in the argument on the
demurrer. In that same argument
however, line of defense was shown
up from which it is concluded thai
Hermann will insist that the letter
books destroyed contained solely hi
personal correspondence, which, he will
contend, cannot be construed as "offi
cial," and from this be will argue thaf
the books containing copies OF this cor
respondence do not constitute "publi'
records"
1t is probable that the defense will
60 so far as to concede that many let
ters copied in the fateful books related
to business of the land office, but a
contended last Friday, they will insis
that all correspondence about the bust
ness Of a government office is not neces
uarily "oficial."
One of the main arguments is likel,
to be that the records destroyed con
tanned nothing of permanent value tt
the land office, and that, though thu
books are gone, the land office ha
sustained no material or consequential
loss. The burden OF proof will res
entirely upon the government and al
abundance of evidence is promised t,
offset the contention OF Hermann
counsel and to show that the books de
stroyed we're actually public docu
ments, in that they contained cores
pondence which, the government will
contend, was official within the mean
ing of the law.
