Another exhibit. being a regulation pro-
mulgated by Mr. Hermann as commissioner
was offered by the government and read by
Mr.. Baker. The rule specifically forbade
any officer clerk employe Of the public
land service to acquire an interest IN the

We propose to show that this defendant

Proceedings Yesterday Afternoon.
Resuming the stand at the opening OF
the session yesterday afternoon Mr.. Her
mann described his action in refusing the
request of Representative J. N. Williamson
for certain extension of the Blue motin-
tain forest reserve. The reason, he said.
was that too many settlers were on the
land. so that the lieu land allowances
CARED he did not know at that time that
Mr.. Williamson was personally interest
ed in the section proposed to be included
in the forest reserve extension.
Emphatic assertion was also made by
the defendant that at no time and under
no circumstances did he hold communica-
ton directly or indirectly with F. P.
Mays. Or by any one for him. IN refer
ence to the Blue mountain case
Relating some Of the difficulties he en-
countered as commissioner Mr.. Hermann
said that when evidence of fraud was
called to his attention In many cases It
was impossible to make an immediate in
vestigation because of the lack of suf-
ficient number of special agents. He mad
been before congressional committees many
times urging larger appropriations In that
connection he declared. Another handicap
he said. was the lack Of authority to COM
pei persons to testify. After repeated rec
concentrations on this poiRt. the witness
said Congress responded during the last
year OF his administration and granted the
authority
Defendants Version of Interviews.
Just before court adjourned Mr.. Hermann
began his version of the interviews between
himself. Senator Mitchell s. A. D. Puter
and Mrs Watson regarding the Puter
lit" claims. He described only the nrst
interview. In which he said he recoliected
that these three persons called on him:
Senator Mitchell was the spokesman and
when he asked for Information regarding
the claims in question was referred TO the
proper division in the Office. The three
went to this division and shortly afterWard
came back. said the witness, when Senator
Mitchell detailed the $1,000 expenditure
which Mrs Watson had been put to and
made the further statement that unless her
claims could speedily be passed to patent
she would be financially ruined. Mr. Mitch
ell urged that the case be made special,
and assured the commissioner that the
cases were in shape to be taken up at
once. Mr.. Hermann replied by telling MI
Mitchell that az he well knew. the prac-
tice of the office precluded such course
in the absence Of the proper showing. Inc
visitors departed with the assurance from
Mitchell that the necessary showing would
q once be made. While the witness said
he could not say who the woman was with
Mitchell and Puter from his recoilec; ton, he
remembered that the argument was made
in her behalf.

sentative citizens who met with the

road companies entering Gainesville
ia reference to a union depot a few
days ago, will arrive in the city to-
day for the purpose OF comforting
with the committee in regard to a
suitable site for the proposed station,
etc.
It viii be remembered that at this
meeting the Board OF Trade and citi-
zens pressed their claims for union
station to the representatives who
were present, and all roads were rep
resented. These agents expressed
themselves as being perfectly satisfied
to comply with any reasonable re-
quest In the line Of union station
or anything else which might be made
by the people Of Gainesville, and sug-
gested that committee of citizens
be appointed TO meet and consult the
respective engineers as regarded
site, the kind Of building desired.
the probable cost, etc. The meeting
concurred with the suggestion, and
appointed the committee, of which
there were five, with B F. Hampton
as chairman,
The committee several days ago re-
quested the railroads to instruct
their engineers to meet the commit
tee within ten days from June 9. The
only notice taken OF the request so
far as the committee is concerned was
the Information that the engineers of
the Tampa and Jacksonville would
be here today.
1t would look as this might be show
ing Gainesville a cold palm SO far
as the other roads are concerned.
The people of Gainesville, through
the committee, want to be fair, but

this request within the prescribed

Of the greatest benefit to the people
of this section, for Elder Sherouse,
who is an eloquent though impressive
and simple speaker has attracted
large crowds, and in his own impress
sive manner has talked in a strain
that must necessarily benefit the
church and the Christian world
Elder sherouse is man in love
with his work He is not preaching
for financial gain. as is evidenced
by the fact that he has been working
here, where the congregation of the
Advent Christian church is very
small; but he is preaching because
he believes his principles are right,
and the result Is that he has enjoyed
most remarkable success.
The last meeting was held on Tues

return to Jacksonville, This dis
.tinguished worker for his faith has
been ably assisted here by Elder
James Lee, the regular pastor OF the

The Presidential order remov-

suggesting that they were OBJ
tanned by misrepresentation on
the part of the Governor, will give
satisfaction 10 many persons.
However, we are of the opinion
that it is very unfortunate that the
course taken was necessary. That
unfortunate camp will, now be
cursed with a regime of deputy
sherIffs selected by the mine
owners who will act as the parti

as federal troops were maintain

been outraged and wrongs perpe-
