HERMANN MAY KNOW
HIS FATE FRIDAY
Final Arguments in Land Frauds
Trial to Be Completed
Today
Defense Loses Hard Fought
Battle to Have Case
NOnsnited

PORTLAND. Ore. Feb. s.-As ar
ranged by agreement between Judge
Charles E. Wolverton of the United
States district court and counsel today,
the case of former Congressman Binger
Hermann. who is being tried on a
charge of conspiracy to defraud the
government of public lands. will go to
the jury Friday. Arguments will begin
tomorrow and each side has agreed TO
limit itself to day and a half.
ASKS FOR NONSUIT
After introduction OF testimony in
the case had been completed the rest of
the day was spent by Colonel Worth
ington of counsel for Hermann in an
effort to have the case nonsuited on
points of law.
Colonel Worthington battled for
three solid hours in support OF his con-
tentions. These were:
First-If there had been conspiracy to de-
fraud IL was the state of Oregon that had been
defrauded and not the government Of the United
States.
Second-That the prosecution Of Hermann was
barred by the statute Of limitation.
Third-If prosecution were not barred. then
overt acts that occurred prior TO three years
before the indictment against Hermann was re
turned.
Fourth-That the district court Of Oregon was
without jurisdiction: the conspiracy. il there
were one, had been far Hermann was
concerned formed In Washington. ID. C.
Two of the thre hours were devoted
by Colonel Worthington in supporting
his last contention, that of lack of jU-
risdiction.
PROSECUTION Is SUSTAINED
Notwithstanding his efforts. Judge
Wolverton held with the prosecution in
every instance, as he had also earlier
in the day, when Colonel Worthington
had made an effort to have the testi-
mony of certain witnesses and part of
the documentary evidence stricken from
the record
When the session opened today Col
onel Harvey w. Scott, editor of the
Portland Oregonian. identified several
editorials written by him in addition TO
those Identified yesterday. These
showed that Colonel Scotts political
views were at wide variance with Her
mann's, but he said he had never heard
anything charged against Hermann's
personal character or integrity until
the land fraud exposure.

SANTA CRUZ, Feb. S.-A parrot late
this afternoon saved the home of Mr..

The directors of the Amalgamate1
will meet i'm April for the declaration
of a dividend which it is understood
will be the usual rate. Rumors of an
increase in the dividend at that time
are not well founded.
The decline in copper shares un-
doubtedly has its underlying basis In
the weakness in the metal and the
low prices being received. 1t Is evil
dent that unless the output of copper
is curtailed the price must stay down
and perhaps go lower. 1t is evident
also that very few of the mines can
pay dividends on present price of met
al, commensurate with the prices at
which the shares have been selling.
II was thought three months ago that
the production of copper would be
curtailed and that by reducing the
surplus on hand tho price would be
advanced to n profitable basis. 1t is
true that copper mines cannot be OPP
Grated as economically when produce
ing only part Of their capacity, but
II is also true that this would more
than be offset i'm the profit and loss
account by higher prices received and
also that the companies would be con-
serving their resources instead Of dis
posing of them with loss. 4 possible
explanation of the failure of the
leading producers to agree on policy
of curtailment is that they are ex-
pecting labor troubles during the
spring.

WALSH APPEALS AGAIN.
Asks U. s. District Court to Grant Him
a New Trial.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-John R. Walsh,
the convicted banker, whose petition
for a writ of certiorari was denied by
the United States Supreme court has
filed a petition in the United States
circuit court of appeals here asking
that court to direct the United States
circuit court to grant a new trial. Mr..
Walsh charges the jurors who convict
ed him with misconduct.
The evidence alleging misconduct of
the jurors was contained in afidavitS
filed by Gilbert Palmer and Charles
Davey In Palmer's affidavit he as
serted while acting juror he was
sick and he signed the verdict of guilty
under pressure from the other jurors.
He asserts 'that said jurors continued
their prosecutions and that finally he
gave way to his emotions and began to
weep. when the juror, Brown, began to
abuse affiant and applied to him cpl
thets and opprobrious names, such as
big fool great big baby, big calf,
and the like. thereby greatly humiliat-
ing affiant and causing him to suffer
great mental anguish and increasing
his mental and physical distress"
]. E. Taggart, who was foreman of
the jury, signed an affidavit in which
he said Palmer went to him after the
verdict had been sealed and asked him
to unseal it and scratch off Palmer
name. He said he refused to open the
verdict telling Palmer it was against

has determined to assist in the making
or an insurgent congressman. Here
is what ne has to say when the fulfill
ment OF his dreams was realized in the
announcement of Attorney General
jackson for congress in the Fourth
district:
Those persons desiring the real rep
resentation of this district in congress
whom j. M. Miller is pleased to refer
TO as his enemies, have done him dis
t1nguished honor. They have pitted
against him in the race for the Repub-
Hcan nomination the ablest' man who
ever ran for congress in this district
He is also one of the best men who
ever ran for either house o. congress
in the East or West-a full-fedged,
able-bodied, mentally adult man. He
has done more for Kansas than any
attorney general has done in years
He has considered only the peoples
interests, and has made a record. not
merely for all Republicans but for all
kanSanS and all Americans who know
him to be proud of. His distinguished
ability is recognized in the fact that
the American Association of Attorneys
General has elected him, as its presi-
dent. He will add strength, not merely
to the Republican ticket in this dis
trict, but all over the state, and he will
enter congress with a national rePuta-
ton as fighter for the peoples rights
that will put him at once with the
leaders of his party in the new line
American congress. To pit such a
man against Congressman Miller is to
honor him more in defeat than IN cleo
ton"
