SENSATION IN
HERMANN CASE
B. 7. May of La Grande, Ore,
Identifies a Series of
Four Letters.

Washington. Feb. 26.-The first real
sensation of the trial of Representative
Hermann of Oregon, charged with de-
struetion of public records while commits
sioner of the general land office. was
developed today when the government
put B. T. May of La Grande. Ore. on the
stand. The witness identified a series of
four letters. two of them written by him
to Commissioner Hermann and the other
two written by Hermann to him. Ali
were read. despite objection by defend
ants counsel
Contents of Letters.
The first letter from May to Hermann
informed the commissioner of specific in
stances of the violation in Oregon of the
stone and timber land Law. The answer
of Hermann promised an investigation of
the charges. In the third MIR. May ac-
cused Hermann of bad faith and breach
of confidence in that his charges had
been made known to the alleged violators
Of the law in oregon; and the fourth,
from Hermann TO Nav, declared there
should be no breach of faith. and that If
the Oregon Persons interested in the
charges had learned of them they must
have secured their information from
some other source than the, land office.
as such communications always were
treated "as strictly confidential"

self, and the second one, when he was
accused by the writer with divulging in
formation, he could not answer. but sent
to one OF the divisions to be answered
original case. The four letters form a
perfect chain of official correspondence
from the land office and we will argue to
the jury that the one copy missing from
the records of the land office was con-
tanned in one of the books the defendant
is charged with destroying.

PLEDGES MADE
TO Be BROKEN
Lower House of Idaho Legisla-
ture Passes Bill at Behest
of the Sheepmen.
(special %. me Herald.l

Boise, Ida, Feb. 26.-After q struggle
consuming the most of two days the
shsapmen today got their bill through
the house ema sculeting the two-mile
limit law for the grazing of sheep. As
the bill was finally passed it simply
cuts down the limit from two miles to
one. AS introduced it reduced the dis
lance to half a mile. 1t was found that
could not pass. and all manner of COM
promises were offered. During the con-
sheraton in committee of the whole
some amendments were adopted only to
find that the bill could not pass with
them At the afternoon session the
measure was brought TO final vote, ard
passed -29 to 19. There is a great deal
of feeling about the matter, and the
sheepmen are being sharply criticised
for precipitating this issue, while they
claim they have been driven to IT for
their own protection. Many OF theT-l
have claimed they would be driven out
of business unless the laws were
changed. The situation has been COM
plicated by the fact transporting that.
Chairman Brady issued a circular DUR
ing the last campaign pledging the Re
publican. party net TO interfere with the
law.
Governor in a Hole.
That was at first thought to be a ca
nard. but il has been found that such a
circular was issued and circulated. As
the governor, when he ran two years ago,
pledged himself to maintain the law, and
as this circular was issued in the last
campaign. ii is now charged that the
sheepmen were willing to sustain the law
so long as it was supposed invalid. but
that they are ready to take advantage of
their power in the legislature so soon as
Ut is found valid This places the gov
ernor in an embarrassing position, and
there are Indications that he will refuse
TO sign the bill if it be finally sent to
him.
The bill annexing a portion of Owyhee
county to Canyon was passed by the
house; also the bill providing for a state
fish hatchery. A number Of minor bills
were passed The senate had another
tussel with the bill establishing inherit

sity and again the bill went over without

HAS GROUND TO
SUSPECT FRAUD
Secretary Hitchcock win Look
Up Homestead Entry of
Wyoming Congressman.
fSpecial to ma Herald.l

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26.-The Chi
cago Tribune reaching here today con-
tains a column dispatch from its Wash
ington correspondent publishing a charge
made by Secretary Hitchcock that Rep
resentative MOndell has taken and proved
up on homestead entry upon which he
had not lived and which contains coal.
The Tribune articles says that while Mon
dell was advocating on the floor of the.
house his amendment to the sundry civil
bill forbidding examination by special
agents of land on which final proof has
been made. unless the interior depart
ment should have good grounds to sus-
pect fraud, Secretary Hitchcock learned
that the Wyoming representative had
flied final proof for patent on a. home
stead of $50 acres, and in the affidavit
accompanying his application declared he
had resided on the place continuously for
the term required by law. The depart
ment has been informed that there is no
residence on the homestead and also that
Hitchcock has sent special agent TO
make an Investigation. and upon his re-
port the department viii act
MondeiI interviewed.
When shown the article. Monden said
that II was evident the expiring efforts
of Secretary Hitchcock are being devoted
to maligning everybody who may be try
ing to better the land laws and land con-
ditions. He said the homestead upon
which he had flied and which he COM
muted last year is on the plains south
west from Newcastle. Wyo.. and. as far
as is known. there Is no coal within
twelve or fifteen miles of it. An artesian
well was bored TO depth of 500 feet in
the immediate neighborhood. and no coal
or other minerals were discovered. More
over. the homestead for which final
proof was made under the Communication
homestead act is under cultivation. and
experiments in dry farming are being con-
Quoted, which are proving successful.
Good crops of Duran wheat. Bronze
grass and other dry climate products are
being raised. In acquiring final proof
the strict letter of the Communication act
had been complied with

WANTS EXTRA SESSION
A Suggestion On Silver that Comes
Rather Late in the Session
To The Appeal:

To The Appeal:
Can you tell me what this Legis-
lature has done. to protect the silver
OF the Jews of Europe, and the Con
gress of this country, it seems TO me
that the state should protect its pro-
ducers of silver, by demanding our
right Of coinage under the cOnstitu-
ton an that the state should appro-
pirate a sum Of money to assist the
Attorney General of the state to carry
the question to the Supreme Court
of the United States, there can be
no doubt as to the result if the Court
iecides in accord with their oaths TO
support the constitution. Now we have
to pay an additional or a special tax
for that purpose and | now recon
mend that the g"vernor call an extra
session for the express purpose Of
providing means to get the question
before the Supreme Court.
Now as an argument in favor of
i
the constitution while Tonopah is not
Goldfield, Goldfield is getting its rights
the constitution. While Tonopah is not
is not Now Tonopah is likely to pro-
duce a hundred million or more in
silver in a few years and under the
present unrightOus unconstitutional
and cold buded robbery system of
the J.acobites alias Israelites of
! Europe with the aid our Congress
and Secretary of the Treasury, they
will not receive more than one half
their just rights under the constitu-
ton.
This is not only loss to TOnpah
but $50 to Goldfield and every person
in the state.
Now let us see how the commercial
Jews of Europe (the importers) play
the little joker to fool the high pro
tective tariff voters of this country
they import the goods then buy the
silver bullion. send it down to British
Honduras have coined into British
Honduras dollars, bring it back and
pay the import duties at a hundred
cents on the dollar. thus if the tarit
/, is forty per cent, the importer make:

After the Free Pass Bill

This morning there was a furry IN
the House when it was known that
Winter, Chairman of the committee
on railroads and corporations, was not
in his place at roll call.
He had Senate bill No. 1O4 N his
pocket which contained the little Joh-
er which practically repealed Assemo'
ly Bill 4S, the Railroad rate bill.
The Republicans were busy as bees
all the morning as they wanted the
bill for two purposes. One to get
the passes and one to get that amend
nent in. Winter held that he bill
had not been ten days with the COM
mittee and did not have to BE re-
ported.
At last accounts they were still
hunting for Winter who was cut on
leave of absence.

has caused great excitement through
out the city and the latest report is
that a man connected win the l. w. w.

an alley in the rear of the hall. Some
men rushed in and rescued them as
he was pouri hot ashes over them
and rescued nine ballots from the

organization. This mas been verified

good for the mines reopening and the
citizens feel that the false count will
fail and the market is responding and

are coming into the market and there
is a general good feeling.
