meets next winter, according to the
statement OF w. II. Wehrung, chair.
man of the Oregon commission, who
left for home tonight.
"It is not our purpose to enter into

MAGNATES TRY
TO KIDNAP RUFF
! Plot Was Only Discovered In Time to
Thwart Il.
Indicted Men Realize They Must Get
ex-Boss Out of Way at All Hax-
arda-He Has Played Prosecution
False From Very Beginning and
Will Now Get tho Limit.

San Francisco, Jan. 30.-An attempt
to kidnap Abe Ruef from the county
Jail and spirit him away was unearthed
last night by Sheriff Larry Dolan. The
details of the plot were revealed by one
OF the guards, who had seen the prepa-
rations. The plot was being engineered
by the indicted magnates, who recog-
nize that they must get Ruef out of the
way at all hazards to save themselves.
In the midst of the denunciation be-
ing heaped upon the graft prosecution
by Patrick Calhoun and his fellows in
indictment has come clear light show
ing that the prosecution stands at the
present moment as strong as, if not
stronger, than ever.
Abe Ruef's trial will be pressed with
vigor. Then he will be sentenced to IA
years in prison. He may at once be
placed on trial again and his sentence
raised to % years. Then Patrick CAL
houn will be put on trial and Ruef
dragged frem the prison to testify.
This arrangement has been made
necessary by the discovery that Ruef
and the indicted magnates were nego-
tiating during the very time that Ruef
was under guard. The plot has been
unearthed by Special Agent William j.
Burns, and it includes the insinuation
that Ruef had an advance tip on the
decision Of the Appellate court, which
,quashed the indictment against him.
With this information, Ruef, believing
that he would be turned loose, sudden
ly lost his memory on all matters that
would tend to incriminate Calhoun and
other indicted magnates.

|HENEY PROVES
HALLS INACT|ON
Clients OF Senator Fulton We're Never
Brought to Trial.
Burke and GosIin Indicted on Perjury
Charge but Never Prosecuted
Senator Fulton Secured ! heir Re-
lease, knowing They Had Made
Unlawful Filings.

Portland, Jan. Ex-senator Fulton
was again dragged into the conspiracy
case Of John H. Hall and Edwin Mays
yesterday by Special Prosecutor Heney.
By the testimony of W. Z. Burke and
William 6. Goslin, former agents for
A. B. Hammond, timberland specu-
lator, and at one time president of the
Astoria & Columbia River railroad, it
was shown that late in 1899 and during
1900 Fulton appeared as attorney for
Burke and Goslin and two others, who
had been indicted by Hall on a charge
of conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment by perjury.
Burke and Gosln testified that in
September, 1899, they induced 20 tran
sient male residents Of the North End
to file on as many timberland claims
for consideration Of 81 each for their
services, with the express understand
ing that the claims 90 filed on should
be held for q time and relinquished,
when Burke and Goslin, representa-
tives of Hammond, procured lieu land
scrip to cover the land included in the
relinquishments. Only the prelini-
nary facts by which Fulton, as attorney
for Hammond and his various interests,
will be associated with this transaction
were brought out yesterday, but Heney
promises by the introduction of further
evidence this monring conclusively to
prove not only that Fulton appeared in
a legal capacity for the men indicted,
but that Hall, as United States attor-
ney, failed to prosecute the alleged per-
jurers, althouh he had full knowledge
of the unlawful flings.

HALL ON STAND.
Testimony Is Vigorous Denial Of Con.
spiracY Charges.

Portland, Jan. 30.-For over three
hours yesterday John Fl. Hall, ex-Unit-
ed States attorney, testified in defense
of the alleged conspiracy charged in the
indictment on which he is being tried
in the Federal court. He vigorously
denied that he had ever entered into a
conspiracy or an illegal agreement with
Steiwer and his associates or with any
body else. He asserted that at no time
had he ever been unfaithful to his trust
as prosecuting officer for the govern
ment, neither had he ever been dilatory
in prosecuting all violations of the law
that had been reported to him and sup.
ported by the necessary evidence. Mr..
Hall will probably complete his testi-
mony this morning and the cross ex-
animation Of the witness by Heney will
follow. Aside from the final argu-
ments to the jury, Heney's CROSS exam
ination of Hall promises to be the feat
uIe of the trial.
Judge Webster, counsel for Mr.. Hall,
said last night that he would probably
call only one witness when the witness
finished his testimony, although it is
understood Steiwer will be recalled for
further cross examination. Heney will
offer some testimony in rebuttal when
the defense has concluded its case, so
that the final arguments cannot begin
before tomorrow afternoon and prob.
ably not until Saturday.

REPORT TO BE FAVORABLE
FuIton's Bill Regulating Railroads Re-
ceives Support.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Northwestern
senator's who united in supporting Sen
ator Fulton's amendment to the inter-
state commerce act, prohibiting rail
roads from enforcing any increased in
terstate rate prior to the determination
of it's reasonableness by the Interstate
Commerce commission, have been very
busy during the past week, so much SO
that the Interstate Commerce commits
sion has agreed to report favorably the
bill.
When Senator Fulton appeared be-
fore the committee early in the week,
he was told that the railroads were de-
manding hearing and that the COM
mittee would not act on the bill until a
full hearing could be granted. This
meant that the bill would be pushed
aside and 60 unacted upon, at least this
session. The Northwest men were de-
termind to get action that they finally
induced the committee to waive hear
ings on condition that the bill be amend
ed giving the Interstate Commerce COM
mission the right to determine what in
creased rates should become operative
without action on their part and what
should be Investigated before becoming
effective. The compromise bill was
framed by subcommittee Saturday
afternoon.

PUT UP MONITOR AS TARGET

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Encouraged
by the valuable result believed to have
been obtained by the British admiralty
in the spectacular sinking of the old
battleship Hero by modern gun fire
lately. the Navy department has deter
mined upon a similar experiment,
though not one to be carried out to the
same point. A single-turreted monitor
is to be made target for the big 12-
inch rifles of battleship, and the ex-
pertinent will take place in the waters
of Chesapeake bay or the Potomac
river. 1t is not the purpose to destroy
the monitor, which was built only
about 10 years ago, but the gun fire
will be directed against one of her
turrets. Much mechanism is contained
in the turret and information is desired
as to the effect of actual gun fire upon
this controlling machinery.

ATTEMPT TO FLY MEANS DEATH
Rumor Of Intended Escape Causes
Orders to Shoot.


San Francisco, Jan. S1.-The Call
says today:
Warned by persistent and we'll
defined rumor that Abe Ruef, grown
frantic on the eve of trial, has planned
in detail an escape from custody to be
accomplished on the lonely road be-
tween this city and the county Jail.
Sheriff Dolan has doubled the guard
over the prisoner and has taken every
precaution to prevent the carrying out
of the suspected plot.
Two deputy sheriffs, fully armed and
with instructions to keep Ruef prisoner
at any cost, now accompany him in his
automobile during all the time he is
absent from the Jail, and the strictest
orders have been issued concerning the
methods to be adopted at the first sus-
picious sign made by either the fallen
boss or the chauffeur in charge OF the
car.
Should Ruef attempt to put into exc
cution the plan which it is believed has
already been arranged, the first appear
ance of rescue party would be the sig-
nal for action by the deputy sheriffs TO
the end of preventing their prisoner
ever leaving the automobile alive.

DRAWS NET CLOSE.
Heney Has Evidence to Offset Halls
Testimony.

Portland, Jan. 3l.--Francis J
Heney's cross- oss-examination OF John II
Hall yesterday materially strengthened
the case of the go 'ernment. One letter,
that will be followed by several others
today, was introduced by Heney show.
ing that Hall in 1901 and 1902, when
frequent complaints were being re,
ceived against the Butte Creek COM
pany, took immediate and effective
steps tow Yards prosecuting settlers who
had from 200 to 400 acres Of govern
ment land enclosed. The purpose Of
these letters is tc show conclusively
that Hall did not molest Steiwer' q
company, whose enclosures Of public
land embraced about 10000 acres.
Neither were other large violators Of
the fencing law disturbed, either by
civil or criminal proceedings.
Further evidence, contradictory OF
the testimony Of Hall on direct exam
ination, was offered by Heney at last
nights session. 1t consisted Of letter
written by the department Of justice to
Hall in November, 1902, in response
to request from the department Of the
interior on the application Of Special
Inspector Greene, assigning Greene to
report to Hall for the specific purpose
of investigating complaints Of unlawful
fencing by W. W. Brown In Harney
and Lake counties, that had been re-
ported to the Interior department by
Greene in the month of October, 1902.
