FRAUDS HIDDEN BY LAW.
Williamson, Mays and Smith Secured
Passage of Special Measure.

That F. p. Mays, j. n. Williamson
and II. A. Smith, who are implicated
in the Oregon land frauds, secured
the passage of n law in 1901, cover
ing up. or invalidating their frauds,
is the belief of Francis ]. Heney, spe-
cia prosecutor in the lnad fraud cases
in Portland.
Williamson, Mays and Smith were
members of the legislature of 1901,
and were then dealing fraudulently
in school lands and the act passed
that year partially legalized some of
their transactions.
The Oregon Daily Journal says of
the progress of the trial of F. p.
Mays:
| Before getting down to argument in
the Blue mountain land fraud case
! this morning the government decided
to abandon the portions of the indict-
ment referring to school lands ac-
quired prior to March, 1902, and to
ask the jury to base a conviction OF
State Senator f. p. Mays, Willard n.
Jones and George Sorenson solely on
their acts since that date.
This change was brought about by
| the injection into the case of cura-
! tive act passed by the oregon legis-
/ lature of 1901 validating the title to
all school lands previously pur-
chased.
The defense insisted that this act
swept aside the contention that the
/ title to 10000 acres of school land ac-
quired by Senator Mays. Jones and
4
| Special Assistant Attorney General
1 Francis j. Heney came to the conclu-
I sion that he had better rely on the
/ charge of fraud in regard to the &c.
] 000 acres of school land acquired by
! Mays, Jones and Sorenson after the
/ passage of that act.
The legislature that passed the act
| in question included in its member
ship F. p. Mays, II. A. Smith and j..
n. Williamson. Prosecutor Heney
was of the opinion that the measure
was cunningly framed in order to
give good title to lands fraudulently
acquired.
DIR. Smith Lost Money.
! DIR. Andrew c. Smith revealed that
when Congressman Williamson and
! Or. Van Gessner paid him S2700 due
| him on a note the money was paid
over in Mays office and Mays was
present. This transaction grew out of
/ DR.. Smiths unfortunate speculation
/ In school lands. The doctor knew
/ nothing of the methods of the alleged
| conspirators He bought an interest
! In school land certificates held by Will
/ hanson and Van Gessner and lost
| about $1,000 on his investment
w. A. Peters. n Seattle attorney,
told of purchasing a school section
| from Mays for one of his clients This
section was part Of the profits Of the
"24-1" land deal in which swindle S.
| A. d. Puter, according to his testi-
mony was n partner of Mays. The
witness identified several letters from
Mays, These letters showed that the
latter was keeping tab on the progress
of the cases against Puter.
I. Held, cashier of the First Nation
al bank of this city, testified that
Mays made a bank deposit following
! the sale to Peters.

The Grip.

Before we can sympathize with
others, we must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the
suffering attendant npon an attack
of the grip. unless he has had the
actual experience. There is prob
ably no disease that causes SO much
physical and mental agony. OF
which so successfully defies medical
aid. All danger from the grip,
however. may be avoided by the
prompt use of chanberlain's Cough
Remedy. Among the tens OF
thousands who have used this rem
edy. not one case has ever been re-
ported that has resulted in pneu-
monia or that has not recovered.

vention of an Ohio man. The con-
struction is such that the person sitting
in the tub can rock it back and forth,
causing the water to swish W. him,
and, if he possess q vivid imagination,
he will think he is at the seashore
taking a saltwater bath, with the
waves dashing V him.
The body of the bathtub is supported
upon rockers by uprights at the front
and back. Pivoted to the front of the
rockers is an arm which extends to the
top Of the body. A pulley is attached
to this arm, through which passes a
rope, the latter being secured to the
body Of the tub, and, passing through
a second pulley, connects with q han
die, which is operated by the person
in the tub to rock the machine, causing
the water to flow up into a back pOr-
ton above the seat. 1t will be readily
seen that by pushing the handle the
upper part of the arm will be pulled
forward, raising the front end Of the
tub. The lining Of the tub is arranged
somewhat in the form Of the seat and
back of a chair, with a deeper portion
for the feet.
A casing extends around the back
and partially along tile sides, at the

Condemned by q Propoun.

There. is now being rcctified n
France, after nearly forty years, a mis-
carriage of justice which in its origin
is probably the StrangeSt in the GRIM
inal annals of the whole world. 1t
may be said to have been caused by q
pronoun. A young fellow named Gauth-
Ter and his mother were in lS6! con-
demned to penal seryitude for life for
the murder of the woman's second
husband, a worthless drunkard. who
was drowned one dark night by falling
into some deep water as he made his
way home late, badly intoxicated. The
evidence which mainly convicted the
two accused was that of witness who
swore to having heard the dead man
shout: ga moi; on me mole" The
%convict's mother is long since dead, and
the conrict son, now an old man, has
managed to interest men willing to as
sist in his rehabilitation. In the pres
ence of a past and Of the present Min
lister of Justice and of criminal experts
the whole scene Of. the tragedy has
been reconstructed after t~hirty-nlne
years. Strangest fact of all, a villager
has been found, a woman, who though
not called at the trial, declared hat she
heard the cry of the drowning man,
and that his words really and clearly
were: "a moi; je me noie"-a pronoun
that made tie difference of almost life
and death.-Londop Globe.

Clever in His Line.

George Westinghouse, Jr., in overalls
and a jumper, has begun to learn in
Pittsburg the great business which his
father conducts.
II am beginning to learn the bust.
ness at the bottom" said the young
man recently. II hope to be Thorough,
if not brilliant. My father, at the age
Of twenty-five, had invented the West
inghouse airbrake. I can't hope to
equal such a record. If 1 am thorough,
1t will be enough"
He smiled.
"At the same time" he said, there
is no reason why I shouldn't become
| clever in this business-clever as a
Pittsburg hairdresser is.
"A woman entered this hairdresser's
while l was being shaved. She looked
about nervously. Then l heard her say
to the man:
I'D like to see some false hair,
please
Ives, miss said the hairdresser.
And what color does your friend pre-
fer?'"
