|HENEY PROVES
HALLS INACTION
Clients OF Senator Fulton We're Never
Brought 10 Trial.
Burke and 0osIin Indicted on Per- Jury
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 onspiracy
case of John II. Hall and Edwin Mays
yesterday by Special Prosecutor Heney.
By the testimony of W. 4. Burke and
William G.. 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 charge
Of conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment by perjury.
Burke and Goslin testified that in
September, 1899, they induced 20 tran
silent 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 80 filed on should
be held for time and relinquished,
when Burke and Goslin, representa-
lives of Hammond, procured lieu land
scrip to cover the land included in the
Accomplishments. Only the prelimi-
nary facts by which Fulton. as attorney
for Hammond and bis 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 filings.

EPIDEMIC or GRIP is

Tens of Thousands of Cases of Thi.
Pestiferous Disease Are Being
Reported.
SUFFERERS IN MANY CITIES
Business In Many Places IL Disor.
9anixsd on Account Prostrstions
from This Ailmsnt.

An epidemic of la grippe seems to b
sweeping over the country. and tens o.
thousands OF people are suffering from
the disease. Pittsburg reports the worsI
visitation in its history. Tho business
of the city IL disorganized on account
Of the large number OF people who have
been suddenly forced to remain absent
from their places Of employment
Factories and mills, Offices and stores
are affected seriously.
There is a notable uniformity in the
symptoms OF the present epidemic
which appears to affect principally the
bronchial passages. Bronchitis and
pneumonia are its most common accom-
panlments. and 1t aggravates fully bf
per cent Of the tuberculosis cases. Those
most inJuriously affected are person.
who before the attack were badly rur
down in their general health. In theii
cases pneumonia quickly develops
while the heart. brain and other or
gans become affected.
In Philadelphia an epidemic Of grippe

lies are FRUSTRATED by It, Pneumonia In
many cases is followed close upon iti
heels, and last week many persons died
of that disease. Doctors ara scarcely
able to keep up with the demands made
upon them Baltimore, too. Is expert
encing an unusual amount OF sickness.
Other cities where grippe has made
tn appearance are Boston, Chicago. Gin
cinnati. Cleveland. Denver, Milwaukee
and New York, and reports from these
places indicate that the health authori-
ties fear that the outbreak Is only at
the beginning. Health Commissioner
Evans, Of Chicago. has issued a warn
ing to the people. urging them to get
plenty of fresh air and to exercise In
the open as much as possible. Chicago
knows the danger Of grippe, for 1t has
been frequently visited by the disease
In 1890 that city had 100000 grippe suf-
ferers and 112 deaths directly resulted
In 1899 over 300 persons died from the
disease. and since the first appearance
Of the malady the city has paid 6
tribute of 2.2Os lives.
In New York, where the disease II
now gaining strong foothold, sixty
eight deaths resulted last week ant
there are many cases scattered abou
the city.
Boston is the worst sufferer on tn,
Atlantic seaboard. There are nearly
100000 cases there and sixty death
have resulted. Cincinnati has ZOO
cases and the disease seems to be cpl
demic In form.
The open winter Is held responsible
for the spread Of the disease Where

RAILROADS ASK FOR TIME.
Want to Test Law Against Owning o.
Coal Mines.

Washington. Jan. 2s.-rhe operating
vice presidents of many Of the large
railroads of the country were received
by President Roosevelt yesterday and
presented a request that in execution
what is known as the comfy amend
ment of the railroad rate law bill one
case be brought against the roads by
the government, this case to be finally
disposed Of by the Supreme court of the
United States. This, if agreed to by
the government, would mean that the
railroads owning coal producing lands
would not sell them by May next, as
required by law, but could operate
them as heretofore until the disposal OF
the test cases. The law in question il
regarded by the roads as unconstitu-
tional.
The president referred the railroad
men to the Interstate Commerce com.
mission, where it is understood the
question will be fully discussed and 6
report made to the president as to the
legal possibility of carrying out the
suggestion made.
