said that there was but one failure
among the state banks during the

which is now in the hands Of q receiver
and is very likely to come out all
right.
THE strong showing made by the
state banks during the panic said Mr..

to the fact that as long ago as last
June they began to strengthen and
align themselves as closely as possible
with the new banking laws. That the

PORTLAND. Jan. 23.-Hamilton S.
Hendricks confessed on the stand to-
day while under cross examination. in
the Hall Mays land fraud case that
while he occupied the Office of United
States land commissioner he perjured
himself and aided in the perjury Of
others in order that the Butte Land &
Livestock company might take up GER
tain land claims for pastureage.
He confessed that he knew that mar.y
of the claims taken out by the
company in his Office We're fraudulent
and that he had assisted the company.
at times in securing possession of
these claims. He testified that he ex-
pected to be fined by the court for dis
participation in these corrupt prac-
tices.
Hendricks was the only witness on
the stand today. He spent an uncom-
Portable six hours. The defense was
merciless in their examination and did
not spare the witness at any point. But
they failed to shake the damaging ef-
feet Of Hendricks admissions while on
the stand as a witness for the state
yesterday afternoon. Hendricks de-
claration that he expected to be fined
is regarded here as indicating the ex-
tent of the immunity promised by He
ney.
