Portland. Or. Dec. 1s.-The Ore
gon land fraud cases, which were
prosecuted In the federal courts sev-
eral years ago by Francis J. Heney,
are about to terminate. Heney is In
Portland today for the purpose OF
bringing the famous cases to a final
ending.
Whether the final will be a general
fiasco of all cases pending. with the
dismissal of the cases and a batch
of pardons, o ra renewed effort to
OF pardons. or renewed effort TO
Hermann and ]. N. Williamson, and
to sentence Franklin Pierce Mays.
Willard Jones and Thaddeus Potter
to prison, now rests with Heney II
is believed that decisive action will
be taken this week.
Those in close touch with the sit
uation hold to the opinion that a
motion for the dismissal OF the cases
against Williamson and Hermann
will be made. This opinion is based
on an intimation from Heney that he
does not intend to remain long In
the Northwest
In addition 1t is asserted that the
cases have grown so antiquated, due
to the fact that Heney has made no
effort to try them. that the witnesses
are scattered.
Mays, Potter and Jones were con-
victed and sentenced to pay heavy
fines and serve short jail sentences,
They appealed their cases to the
court OF appeals and lost. II is said
they have agreed TO pas the fines II
pardoned. Strong recommendations
for leniency have been made TO Presi-
dent Taft by friends of the men. and
it is understood that the pardona
will be granted. II Heney does not toe
seriously oppose them.
i Heney Is non-committal as TO tbs
course he intends TO pursue. He de.
clined to talk concerning the Her
mann and Williamson cases, aayinf
that he first wanted 70 refresh hii
memory on certain points.
Hermann was acquitted in the cas-
tried in Washington, and the jury dil
agreed at his trial for alleged lane
frauds in Portland.
Williamson was tried for alleges
frauds three times. He was twice &C

"a SOP TO THE WHALE"

President Taft has seen fit to dis
place Hon. W. T. Vernon of Kansas
as Register Of the Treasury and APP
point Hon J. c. Napier, prominent
attorney of Nashville, Tennessee to
succeed him. Both are representa-
tive citizens of color. OF course DR..
Vernon resigned, but That's what
they all say" II is the diplomatic
method now in vogue TO decapitate
men holding political Office.
Mr. Napier had recently been re
moved as a member of the Republi-
can State Committee Of Tennessee
and as the Administration is taking
an active interest just now in the po-
litical affairs of Tennessee. it may be
said to be indirectly responsible for
Mr Napier's removal. AS a method
of relieving a very embarro ssing sit
uation, DR.. Vernon has been sup
planted by this brilliant representa-
tive of our race.
The methods employed are closely
akin to those resorted TO in DR.. w.
D. Crum's case. That gentleman
was removed from Charleston. South
Carolina where he had a large prac
tice and sent to Liberia. Africa. where
If he remain, he is not liable 20 EN-
barrass the administration with re
ference TO its Southern policy either
IN this world or in the world 10 come.
Mr.. Napier is a practicing attOr-
ney in Nashville. He has large bus
mess interests there and he has been
removed from Tennessee, where he
might embarrass the administration
TO Washington, where he will be sub
ject to its absolute control. This is
a signal triumph for DR.. Booker T.
Washington, who now seems TO be
the referee in all matters pertaining

Office.
