Miss Nancy Scott had been willing to

Nine indictments for gambling were
filed today by District Attorney
Phelps as a result of disclosures made
during the Matlock-Sheuerman case
on trial yesterday afternoon, and this
morning. Those accused of shuffling
with the cards with mercenary mo-
tives are Jacob Sheuerman, Lester
Swaggart, George Peringer, VIII
Wells, John Endicott and Sam Mil
Ter. Against Sheuerman, Swaggart
and Endicott two indictments each
were filed.
At the beginning of the famous
trial yesterday, District Attorney
Phelps was an interested spectator
and he followed the case with interest
as it promised important developments
from a prosecuting attorneys standr
point. He was rewarded by hearing
testimony which in his Judgment in
wolves all of the men indicted.
During the afternoon yesterday W.
F. Matlock, plaintiff in the case
against Sheuerman was examined at
length and for an hour or more there
was a wordy match between the Wit
ness ana u. w. bdheS' wiz
examined him. Following Mr.. Mat
lock. George Hartman, jr., assistant
cashier of the First National bank,
was called and told of the payment
being stopped on the check.
Lester Swaggart was the next VII
ness. and when the defense began its
inning the same three witnesses were
recalled.
While on the stand Swaggart admit
ted with reluctance that the other
men named above had taken part in
the big game and that Sheuerman, En-
dicott and himself had played In sam
Miller's rooms over the State saloon,
as well as at the hotel. In view OF
this two indictments were returned
against the three men and one for
Sam Miller.
While on the stand in his own de-
fense Mr.. Sheuerman claimed he had
been told by several people that the
other men in the game had conspir-
ed against him and for that reason
he had stopped payment on the check.
He failed to recall the name of the
first man who had so informed him,
but mentioned Tom johnson as hav-
ing done so.
The testimony in the case was con-
cluded shortly before II o'clock to-
day. and Colonel Raley finished his
argument for the plaintiff before
noon.

TRAFFIC WAR is ON.
Millmen Begin Fight on the South
crn Pacific.

War to the knife, and the knife to
the hilt. rs the immediate prospect
between the Southern Pacific rail-
road and the lumber manufacturers
of the Willamette valley and south
ern oregon, says the Oregon Daily
Journal. The millmen say the pro-
posed increase of the freight rate on
green common lumber to San Fran
cisco will bankrupt them, ana the
railroad freight officials declare
in answer that the rate shall go into
effect regardless of results.
Millmen are aroused, and the word
Is going down the line that a strong
organization must be formed and the
fight must be carried to the court of
last resort If necessary to prevent ex-
termination of the numbering indus
tlv between Salem and Ashland. The
small mills are at the present time
making a profit of 50 to $3.50 per
thousand feet on their product de-
livered at the railway station. The
proposed increase of freight rates to
San Francisco-which is their only
outlet-amounts to s2.1S per thou
sand. which would wipe out practi-
cally all of their profit.
The territory affected has about
100 mills, and from 5000 to 5000 en-
rloyes, all of which are staring ruin
in the face as a result OF the pro-
posed advance in rates. which the
railroad officials say must go into ef-

WITHIN THE STATUTES?
Insists That He Took
Advantage of knowledge Acquired
in an Official Capacity to Zip orr
His Son and Friends-Besides U.s.
ing it to Help Himself to the Do
main.

Washington. April 10.-The cross
examination of Binger Hermann be-
gan at 4:3O yesterday afternoon. The
district attorney began by asking
Hermann if any of his relatives MADE
nutlic land entries while he was COM
missioner. He did not recollect any
such case, but finally admitted that
his son, Schiller, made a homestead
entry in Oregon though he never OBJ
tanned title. He brought 4S0 acres of
Oregon land from his son at a time
when Schiller was financially dls-
tressed. His son had acquired the
land from three settlers and patent
was issued in Schiller's name.
The district attorney offered in
evidence several patents showing
that Hermann, as commissioner, did
issue three land patents to his son,
saying the patents contradicted the
witness and made out his testimony
untrue, and that such issuance was
in violation of the law forbidding
relatives being given any advantages
accruing from special knowledge
Hermann became very much mix
ed in his testimony regarding his cor
rSspondence with Mays in regard to
forest matters, first denying all such
correspondence and later admitting
he had letters and kilograms from
him and he replied thereto.
Pressed to explain his telegram to
Mays, Hermann floundered consider
ably, but did not explain. He did not
know that Mays was interested in the
reserve at the time he telegraphed
him. He admitted Mays was the only
! person in Oregon whom he notified
about the creation of the reserve.
Hermann said he was removed
from the Roseburg land office for
political reasons, but before his re-
moval he had acquired several thou
sand acres of government land. He
did not know he was violating the
law in acquiring public land while
he was receiver of the land office
He denied that he was removed be-
cause of acquiring this land in viola
ton os the law. Some of this land
was acquired by cash entry, other by
scrip.
Receipts produced showed that the
| purchases We're made to "B. Her.
mann," and were certified to by
"Binger Hermann" receiver. Her
mann was shown to have acquired
more than $4,000 acres by scrip 10

comparative inaccessibility was sold
