LAND FRAUD TRIAL
Prosecutor Quickly Overcomes
Advantage Gained by Her
mann's Counsel

PORTLAND, Jan. 26.-The trial of
former Congressman Binger Hermann
on charge of conspiracy to defraud
the government of part of the public
domain was today jolted from the<rut
of monotony
The first instance was early in the
session of the United States district
court, when Emmett Callahan. a lawyer
of Baker City was. on the stand. He
testified that after the Blue mountain
reserve had been temporarily with
drawn lie told Hermann that opposition
in Oregon to the reserve was caused
by the including of school lands. Cal
lahan declared that though Hermann
never admitted that there was a steal"
he did appear willing that the school
sections should remain in the reserve
IF held by friends.
Later in the day Prosecutor Heney
and Colonel Worthington of the de-
fense fought their first real battle of
wits. M. J. McVean, an employe of the
general land office. had been recalled
by the prosecution and had explained
the usage of the land office in the mat
ter of conducting its correspondence.
When Colonel Worthington took the
witness he elected the statement from
McVean that the letter from F. P Mays
relating to the withdrawal of the Blue
mountain forest reserve was received
by Hermann a month before he recon-
mended the temporary withdrawal of
the reserve on July %, 1902.
Mays has already been convicted un-
der the same indictment on which Her
mann is being tried, and it is the con-
tention of the prosecution that it was
the letter referred to that prompted
Hermann to make the withdrawal when
he did.
Heney hardly waited for Colonel
Worthington to release McVean to take
the witness in sur-rebuttal. He drew
from McVean a statement that imme-
diately upon the receipt of Mays let
ter the machinery preliminary to the
withdra wal of the reserve was put in
motion and that as soon as the legal
formalities and official red tape in con-
nection with the withdrawal were COM
pIeted, Hermann recommended its tenn
porary withdrawal

SHORT LIFE FOR MINISTRY


SHORT LIFE FOR MINISTRY
Only a short life can be predicted
for the government. In fact, both the
liberal and unionist parties are look
ing away from the present struggle
into the distant future. when the con-
flict at the polling booths will be re-
newed.
Party organizers have been instruct
ed to keep up unceasing vigilance and
to be prepared for an appeal to the
country at any moment.
There is no doubt that the sue
cess of the conservatives has been
largely due to the constant education
of the agricultural population in the
virtues of tariff reform. This educa-
tion will be carried into the northern
counties and into Scotland in the hope
of winning these territories at the next
elections.
LABORITES MAY TROUBLE
The liberals will concentrate their
attention on educating the country on
questions of free trade and the limita-
ton of the vote of the house of lords.
AS an example of difficulties facing
the government, apart from the house
of lords and the budget, it is probable
that the labor party will introduce
their right to work bill, which the
might easily lead to the defeat of the
ministry and to another dissolution.
The first serious suffra gette disturb
ance in the elections occurred in
Premier Asauiths constituency today
on the declaration of the poll. Several
attacks were made against the prime
minister, but he escaped under police
protection.
POSITION OF NATIONALIsTs
T. P O'Connor. president of the
United Irish League of Great Britain,
in speak king today of the next parlia-
ment and the policy and influence of
the nationalists, said:
1t is absurd to contend that the
liberal ministry can not hold office
with good majority because a
large portion of that ma jority must
be nationalists. Nationalist mem-
bers have put conservat tive minis
tries in power, notably in 1885. and
Irish members of unionist opinions
have helped to make conservative
majorities several times.
1t is ridiculously contrary to the
facts to suggest that the policy of
from America and by those who
are called their American paymas-
ters The people of our race in
America. who subscribe so gener-
ously to our funds attach no con-
ditions to their gifts, which are
motherland and an ardent desire to
improve her condition.
They take the position that it is
not for them but for the men on
the spot to choose the party's
policy, and they have confidence in
the judgment and patriotism of
their Irish party as well as in the
leadership of John Redmond.
