Celebrated Case

Portland, Ore, Feb. S-Gathering up
the loose ends of evidence today in
the trial of former Congressman Bing-
er Hermann. charged with conspir-
ing to defraud the government out of
public lands was more extended
process than counsel expected. Coun-
sci for Hermann said new evidence
had developed bearing on Hermann's s
efforts to have the lieu land law of
1897 amended or repealed.
Effort was made also to impeach
the testimony of H. J.. Patterson. a
government witness who had testified
to the presence of Hermann and F..
H. Mays, an Oregon politician. in the
Office of the surveyor general of Ore
gon in September, 1901.
William NJ Reece of Eugene, Ore,
who. according to his testimony. was
clerk to the committee on public lands
in the national house of representa-
tives from 1895 to 1907. testified that
Hermann appeared before the public
lands committee at least once and
urged that the lieu land law of 1897
be repealed or at least so modified
that persons owning lands within a
government reserve could be compell-
ed to take land of no better character
outside the reserve.
w. C. Greeves of Oregon City said
that Patterson had told him that for
watching former Surveyor General
AIeldrum while Meldrum was in Wash
ing to testify for the government in
the Hermann case. Patterson had been
promised a job in the secret service
in addition to his regular pay.
Patterson again today specifically
denied this charge.

minutes. the symptoms of the attack,

the treatment and finally the death.
Told in quiet, unassuming manner,
Miss Keller's testimony produced a
sensation in the crowded courtroom.

the nurse closely as she told her
story, while Mrs. Logan o. Swope. his
mother-in-lav heavily veiled. listencc

PRESIDENT TAFT ANO OTHER
POLITICAL LEADERS SAW NEED
Will Enter the Field for the Che.
ship Of the Republican State Execu.
tive Committee to Fill Vacancy Caus.
ed by Williams Resignation.

Washington, Feb. 8-An important
vacancy in the department of Justice
Is now to be filled. Wade H. Ellis,
after asconference at the white house
late yesterday afternoon, resigned his
position as assistant to the attorney
general. The political situation in
Ohio. Mr.. Ellis states, brought about
his resignation. President Taft and
other political leaders felt that their
party needed Mr.. Ellis there and the
latter was induced to enter the field
for the chairmapship of the Repub-
lican state executive committee, sue
ceeding Henry A. Williams, who was
appointed national bank examiner,
Just who will succeed Ellis can as
yet be only speculation, but it is not
improbable that an appointment will
be made soon.
Regarding the resignation of Mr..
Ellis, the following Statement was
given out at the white house late yes
terday:
.'Mr. Vorys, the member of the ma
tional committee from Ohio; Walter
Brown, the chairman of the Republic
can state central committee, and Hen
ry A. Williams, chairman of the Re-
publican state executive committee,
have been canvassing among the Re-
publicans of Ohio to determine who
should succeed Mr.. Williams upon the
resignation which he is Obliged to
tender.
after visit to Washington and
full conference with the senators, the
conclusion was reached that the man
best qualified to assume the cares of
the Office as chairman of the executive
committee at this time was Mr.. Ellis
and therefore the president was ap-
piled to torconsent to Mr.. Ellis resig-
nation from his positian as assistant
to the attorney general to take the
duties of the craftsmanship of the
committee.
"Thc president was very loath to
lose the services of Mr.. Ellis from the
department of Justice where he is en-
gagged in important work. but as Mr..
Ellis was willing to make the sacrf-
fice. the president did not feel that he
could insist on retaining him.
The Ohio political situation has been
giving the. president much concern
and has been the subject of number
Of conferences at the white house DUR
ing the last few weeks. With the ex-
pected nomination of Governor Har-
mon. the Republican party faces a
hard fight this fall and the president
has been anxious that factional trou-
bile should he eliminated as much as
possible. He believes that Mr.. Ellis
will be able to do more along that
line than anyone else who could have
been designated.
Mr.. Ellis has been known as one Of
the famous trust busters" Of the ad-
ministraticn and at the present time
was engaged in much important work.

AGAIN THE FlRELEss COOKER.

The freless cook stove, the old
"hay box of northern Europe, has
established itself as M Of the regu-
lar supplies of the house furnishing
departments. 1t Is a very different
thing, however, from it's ancient pro-
totype. In its latest manifestation
it looks like a shirtwaist box or book
case, and is an ornament rather than
otherwise to an apartment. In the
former case II is a low chest and in
the latter a tailor case, with two deep
drawers, which, upon drawing out,
prove to no padded and fitted with
cushions and utensils which exclude
the air and retain the heat. SUCH
boxes cost from So 10 s25. They are
'ised bv modern women. as they
have al ,sa%s been by European peas
ans, w.lo for onc reason or another
find it necessary to reduce the pre-
paration of The family meal TO the
least possible expenditure of time and
labor. Business women, farmers
wives and others who do their own
cooking.
To cook beans in the hay box pre-
pare them as for baking and pack
them away while they are boiling.
Leave them for eight hours or more
and thou, If they are wanted with a
crust oyer the top, brown them in the
oven.
For a pot roast, select a four or
ive-pouud piece of rump steak and
brown 1t in a frying pan In suet or
drippings. Then put into the pot,
cover with boiling water and boil toT
half an hour. At the end Of that
time pack the kettle away in the box
for six hours. Just before serving
remove the meat and thicksn and
season the gravy.
Old-fashioned rice pudding can be
made in the hay box. Wash a third
OF a cupful Of rice, and put 1t into
a pan with a quart Of milk, a third
of a cupful of sugar, a saltspoonfui
of salt. two teaspoonfuls of butter
and a bit of grated lemon rind. BRING
the milk to scalding point over hot
water and cook there for Is minutes
Then pack away in the hay box for
i've hours. The idea in cooking the
food for some time over the stove Is
to heat 1t thoroughly. There can. oil
course, be no more heat after 1t is
packed away than 1t takes into the
box, and all the heat possible Is
wanted.
