Four independent scavengers to-

partment to quit dumping and
burning garbage In the ravine in

from irate property owners have
flooded the department. Inspectors
were sent to the scene and discov-

their report the board ge-e the
scavengers 10 days in which to put
out their fires, clean up the vicin-
ity and cover their dumping ground
with earth.
These are the scavengers whom
the crematory department refused
to give permits. Julius Vandamme,
one of them, was arrested and fined
under the crematory ordinance for
the purpose of test case. He ap-
pealed to the superior court and the
case Is still pending.

Will FIGHT C0W[ES
CHOICE Of CHAIRMAN
Regular Republicans Are Uniting on
Judge Moore for Convention.

Another crimp was put in the
Spokesman-R Review political pro-
gram yesterday when Frank Post,
it's nominee for delegate to the ma
tional republican convention, fail
ell to secure election even as dele
gate to the county convention
which meets at the armory tomor-
row morning.
David T. Ham and Post live in
Belmont precinct For county dele
gate Ham received 80 votes and
Post eight. The Review still main
tains that Post Is an opponent of
Ham for the national delegate and
that a deal has been fixed up
whereby Post Is to be a candidate
for delegate at large and Ham as
district delegate. This alleged deal
was assented to by Ham at meet
ing of postmaster Harrison, A. G..
Avery, Horace Kimball, Charley
Lund and N. w. Durham, editor OF
the Spokesman-Review and a demo-
crat.
At this meeting also Durham
suggested CHdrley Luiu LOT CnalT-
man of the convention tomorrow.
This suggestion mas been resented
by the rank and file, and a move
ment is on this afternoon to name
Judge J. T. Moore instead. Lund
is Rockwells congressional man
ager, he is also known as a Nc
Bride man and is normal school
appointee of Gov. Mead. He was
largely responsible for the late
banquet"
Lund has come to be regarded as
the party hoodoo and the old timers
are out to shake him If they can.
1t was Charley who, as the head of
the Spokane delegation in the Nc
Bride Mead convention fight, lost
this county everything by a
speech he made. and Charley also
figured largely In the city campaign
that resulted in the election of Dag
gett. His selection as chairman is
another move in the Review-Mc-
Bride game and is likely to provoke
a pretty little fight

was o golden opportunity for real
estate men.
But the California law provided
that no man could purchase more
than GAO acres; the Oregon limit
was fixed at 800 acres.
Hyde and Benson, the govern
meut claims, sent Schneider into
Oregon to obtain names; men who
would sign away their right to
buy school lands. Such signatures
were obtained. 1t is alleged, for
considerations rarely exceeding IS.
In Portland, Ore, alone, Schnei-
der Is alleged to have obtained the
names of 1875 people to applica-
tions to buy each 220 acres OF
school lands. In many cases it Is
claimed the signatures were
forged; in numerous instances they
were not sworn to before a notary.
The government is attempting
to show also that in other in
stances the land was decided to
the firm or its representative i'm
mediately after the application had
been filed. The law provided that
each applicant must take up the
land solely for himself.
Further. the government claims
that when the agents got after
the offenders, Diamond was sent
to Washington to cover up their
tracks by bribing clerks in the
general land Office.
The conspiracy covered in the
indictments is alleged to have oc-
Cured in Washington between
1901 and 1904. 1t was part OF
the manipulations OF 1898, but
prosecution for the first operations
Is barred by the statute Of limita-
tons.
Nearly two score witnesses have
testified already. AS many more
are to come. Many have testified
to signing applications at the in
stance of Schneider, receiving
from 81 to SIS for their signatures.
Many others, whose names appear
ed on applications. declared the sig
natures clever forgeries.
Daniel ID. Tennyson of San Jose,
Cal, said that under an arrange
ment made with Hyde in 1902, he
obtained the signatures of a num-
Der OF persons, paying from so
cents to 81 for each signature.
The attorneys for Benson and
Hyde endeavoreL to have much OF
the testimony relating to Schnei-
der's operations thrown out upon
the ground that Benson and Hyde
could not be held accountable for
the actions OF disreputable agent
whose connection with these de-
PENDANTS had not been established
by the government. The court ad-
mitted the testimony.

Joint indictment and are also on

Their alleged swindling began
10 years ago. Almost that long
government agents have been try
ing to establish their guilt. The
trail has led from the virgin coun.

story is being laid bare on the wit
ness stand.
When the government estab-
lished forest reserves In California
and Oregon sections 16 and 36 of
each township were given over to
the states as school lands. The
states sold this land to citizens
at $l.25 an acre, the proceeds be-
Ing used for school purposes,
In 1897 congress passed a law
providing that persons holding
school land might exchange It for
a like amount OF unoccupied land
In any part of the state. Frequent
ly the land obtained by this ex-
change was worth $40 an acre. 1t

IS NOT LIABLE

Corporation Counsel Hamblen
this morning said that he does not
consider that the city is liable for
the death Of H. w. Engelking and

investigation in charge and says he
will treat the matter as though he
was working for private client.
Just what defense the city will
make in the event Of suit he will
not say, but will probably set up

ness, with that Of ]. M. Reager, was
