OTHER SIDE
Prosecution in the Binger Her.
mann Case Expects to
Close Today.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 25.-Annual
reports of ex-Commissioner Binger
Hermann, and other interesting
things like that, formed the principal
points of attention at the Hermann
trial today.
Heney is drawing near the close of
his case, and this morning finished
his direct examination - Mr.. Nc
Vean, who has been on the witness
stand for a day or more. He will
follow this witness with other former
employees of the general land office,
TO show by their testimony that Her
mann had a knowledge of the fraudu-
lent practices which prevailed in the
handling of lands put inside forest
reserves.
The prosecution is now making
an effort to connect Hermann by cir
cumstantial evidence, with the Blue
Mountain conspiracy. He has shown
that Hermann discussed the creation
of the reserve with Mays while in
Portland. He is now showing by gov
eminent documents. by letters OF
Hermann, and evidence of land Office
employees that Hermann knew Of the
fraudulent practices in school lands
within the boundaries Of reserves
created, that knowing Of these prac-
tices he had constantly urged in an
nual reports and otherwise that the
lieu land act be changed or repealed,
that he had declined TO recommend
the creation Of reserves because of
these conditions, and that in face Of
this general course, he made a special
effort TO secure their creation Of the
Blue Mountain reserve. following the
conference with Mays and the let
ters which Mays afterwards wrote

Medford, Ore, Jan. 25.--It is the
Southern oregon leaders in the move
ment to carve a new state out of
Southern Oregon and Northern Cali
fornia, to be known as Siskiyou, who
are active today with arrangements
to call convention to devise ways
and means.
According to present plans the con-
vention will gather in Yreka, Siski-
you county, California, not later
than March 10, and remain in ses-
sion three days. Prominent men from
all of the territory affected have sig
nified a willingness to attend and
aid in the movement
AS planned, the new state will en-
brace seven California counties and
five Oregon.
The movement grew out of a wide
spread dissatisfaction with the treat
ment accorded the territory by the
two states.
California has long neglected the
northern portion of the state, and
Southern Oregon has suffered at the
hands of Portland and the William
cite valley. The move to create the
new state is unanimously endorsed
by the residents of the affected terri
tory.

Been Served and Witnesses Are

Chicago, Jan. 25.-While actual
investigation of the meat trust by
the government is scheduled to be-
gin late today or possibly tomorrow
it was intimated that the result of
the federal grand jury's work will
not be announced for two months.
The grand jury began it's morning
session by disposing of calendar
cases and it's slow and ponderous de-
liberations indicated that it is not
on tip toes to take up the investiga-
tion of the packers or that it will
be moved greatly by the popular pro-
test against the current high prices
of meats.
More than a score of subpoenas
have been served and witnesses are
ready to GO before the inquisitors.
Most of these are men who have
been acting as government represen-
tatives and who will be relied upon
by United States District Attorney
Sims to clinch his case against the
trust.

Paris, Jam 25.-Almost one-third
of France is under water today, ac-
cording to reports received from pro-
vincial towns that have not been iso-
lated by the floods.
The rains that have been falling
steadily for more than week con-
tinued today, and the Seine, fed by
it's swollen tributaries, is rising more
than half an inch an hour
Hundreds of men and boys are
working on the banks, in barges on
the river, in an effort to keep the
tons of drift and wreckage from ac-
cumulating at any point. Should an
obstruction be formed in the river,
the city would be inundated by the
diverted waters.
Early today the flood invaded the
lower Champs Elysee, where are To-
Gated many of the handsomest homes
in France, including that of Presi-
dent Falliers. Throughout that Sec
ton, hundreds of vans are moving
furniture and other property out of
reach of it's rapid advance.
The Quai de Billy and the Avenue
Montaigne, two of Paris "show
Streets" are already submerged.
Several hundred refugees were
rescued from almost certain death
today when they were surrounded
on three sides by rapidly rising water
and cut off on the fourth by a burn
ing chemical factory. They were
taken away in boats less than half
an hour before the neck of land on
which they were huddled was en-
tirely covered by the food.
In the city, suffering is acute. The
usual sources of food supply from
the country districts is cut off, and
the city is practically subsisting on
quarter rations.
The price of meat has advanced
r 30 per cent in the last two days.
Vegetables are % per cent more ex-
pensive than they were yesterday,
while butter and other commodities,
that are now classed as luXuries, com
mand prohibited prices.
The country sections are prostrat-
ed. The wine districts will not re-
cover for years, and Vineyardists will
be among the heaviest losers.
Today's rains alternated with fur
ries of snow, magnifying the suffer
ing of the homeless hundreds.

$4,000 DAMAGE
CASE COMES
HEREFOR TRIAL
WARSAW MAN AND WO-
MAN SUE GAS CO., FOR
TERRIBLE INJURIES
RECEIVED.
Leak in Gas Pipe Filled Rooms
= Which Exploded When
Match Was Lighted
Both Dishgured.

\ $4,000 damage suit was FIJI
ed in the office OF the Marshall
Circuit Court Tuesday after
noon, as venued from the Kos
ciusko circuit court. The case is
Marie Dye versus the Warsaw
Gas Company for 100000 dam
ages, and Joseph r. Dye versus
the same company asking for
$4,000.
The complaint alleges that the
Gas Company is responsible for
an explosion which resulted in
the terrible injuries sustained by
the husband and wife, when ne
struck a match in their apart
ments looking for the source OF
the Odor which was OF escaping
gas. The complaint alleges that
the couple moved into a certain
fiat in the city of Warsaw on
August u, 1909. In the chang
ing OF gas pipes in the apart
ment house, an opening had been
left in the pipes, in the rooms oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Dye.
When they moved into the
rooms. the gas was turned off,
but soon after 4another family
moved upstairs and upon their
request the gas was turned ON
for the building from the mains.
The bad leak was detected and
the Gas company was notified.
They shut off the gas and made
an investigation for the leak.
The room in which the actual
leak was located was not inves-
tigated, according to the charges
and the gas was again turned
ON. Mrs. Dye entered her
rooms at night, and detected the
srtong odor. which because OF
her inexperience with gas, she
SAYS was unfamiliar 20 her, and
she summoned her husband.
Together they crossed the hall IN
the building, and entered a room
from which the odor e4ninated.
Without her suggestion the hus-
band struck match and the eX-
Dlosion followed. Both the hus-
band and the wife were horribly
burned. and rendered unconsci-
Gus. in which condition they re-
manned for several days, hover
ing between life and death. They
were found by neighbOrs. Borll
man and wife had an ear burned
off, and otherwise burned and
dishgured. They were almost
identically burned except the
wife suffered the more.
