I Just whether he will take up the (Oregon land fraud prosecutions in the future Is a question Mr. Heney was not prepared to answer at this time. -Much depends on future developments In San Francisco. He said the .Attorney-en-eral has asked him to renew his work In Oregon, but thus far he hadn't been table to sivo a definite answer. Houbtful AlMnit Hermann. "The. Attorney-Genernf has expressed the wish that I take up the trial of Pinter Hermann In particular," said he.

Maze of Work Ahead. "Yes. there Is an endless amount of work yet to be done In San Francisco. Those who have perjured themselves, Jurors who have accepted bribes and those who have offe-rod bribes to Jurors must not go unpunished. On the integ rity of our courts and Juries depends the Integrity of the Nation." Nine days have been consumed In the automobile run from San Francisco. Mr. Heney appears to have profited by the trip. He was the picture of health on his arrival here, and while normally of hlond persuasion, the sun has converted him into a brunette of pronounced type. The trip has been without unpleasant In cident. One of the most pleasurable fea tures was the fishing on Rogue River. Fair luck was encountered and Mr. (Heney reports several hours of glorious "port among the Dolly Vardens and rain how trout of Southern Oregon's peerless fishing stream.

Mr. Heney and party will pend a few days in Seattle, and then return leisurely to San Francisco, pos sibly by automobile. "It Is proving a delightful outing," he explained.

Mowers, Who Witnessed Mur der of Harry Garrett, Secures His liberty Trial Is Set for Hear ing on September 8. What is believed by the- District At torney's office to have been an effort on the part of the defense in the R. T. Dickerson murder case to make one of the state's witnesses as favorable as pos sible for the accused man. came to light yesterday. Wli.iam H. Swett made the statement to Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald that a brother of Grover C. Mowers came to him with the statement that the attorney for the defense knew where he could raise the $500 bail for Mowers, who was held In jail as a wit ness for the state. Suspicion as to the object of the defense in securing the re lease of the state's witness was immedi ately aroused. ... Mowers, who was In Dlckerson's em ploy, and an eye-witness of the shooting, was released yesterday afternoon, Swett and Edwin F. Morris putting up a $1000 bond. Before his release his deposition was taken In shorthand. The witness said he came to Portland from Grants Pass, where he drove a de livery wagon. He is 23 years old. He said he was standing with a forkful of hay, Just about to enter the barn door at Dlckerson's place on the morning of the shooting, when he heard a shot, and looking around saw Harry A. Garrett turning away from Dickerson and the latter with a smoking revolver in his hand. Mowers did not know how many shots were fired in all. He heard no words before they were fired, he said. A queer circumstance in connection with the affair was that Mowers said he turned Immediately after the murder, and went unconcernedly about his work. He slept in the hunkhouse with Garrett, but said he had never heard any words between htm and Dickerson. Asked about the effort of the defense to secure his release. Mowers said his brother went to the County Jail and told him that a clothing man of Grants iass was willing to give bail for him. Dicker son Is to be tried September 8. SCES OREGON ELECTRIC CO. Mrs. Jackson' Wants $6000 for Being Put Off Car Twice. "Incompetent, ungentlemanly and quarrelsome" are the adjectives Mrs. Lonetta J. Jackson uses to describe two conductors in the employ of the Oregon Electric Railway Company on its line between Portland and Salem. She has filed suit In the Circuit Court to recover 16000 damages for being twice put off the company's cars on the same trip. She says she had her four children with her at the time. Mrs. Jackson says she boarded a car at Portland on September 5, last Fall, to go to Chemeketa. Ru dolph Voelker, she says, had paid the transportation for 25 people, of whom she was one. She presented a receipt given her by Voelker. after It had been O. K. d at the Portland ticket office, onlv to be Insultingly ordered oft the car at Fulton. She again sought out the ticket office, she says, and receiving the assur ance that the receipt was good for trans portation, took the next ear, explaining the circumstanoes to the conductor She was again put off the car, this time at Wllsonville, and was obliged to pay another fare. the condemned murderer of Harry M Logan, a railroad engineer. The crime was committed on the Fourth-street bridge, In South Portland, October 24. 1907, the motive being robbery. It is believed that Anderson attempted to hold up Logan, who paid the penalty of resistance with his life. Anderson, who went under the alias, "Joe Bets," did not take the witness stand In his own behalf when the case went to trial In the Circuit Court, but put up the plea of insanity. Although the little bald-headed man had shaved off his beard between the time the crime was committed and his appearance in court, members of the Salvation Army rec ognized him as the man who had pur chased a raincoat from the Industrial Home a short time before. This coat was found under the bridge the morning after the murder by W. P. Strandborg. a. news paper reporter. He placed the evidence in the hands of the police.

The lad said he found the tools on top of the hill in the woods In a wheelbarrow. He took them home, and was using them when arrested. It Is the opinion of the people of River dale that an organized band of thieves exists. Besides this, many tramps go through the place.

Passenger service by the Harrlman lines over the Northern Pacifie s Portland-Seattle line in all probability will be inau gurated within the next two months. In the meantime it Is expected the agree ment between the Hill and Harrlman In terests for the joint use of the Northern Pacific track from Portland to South Tacoma will be signed. Pending the completion of the tunnel at Taooma by the Harrlman road, which will require another year, a tentative agreement will be. entered into by which the operation of Harrlman trains from Portland through Tacoma to a connection with the Harrl man road, owned Jointly with the St CPaul line, will be allowed. This was the announcement made hy J. C. Stubbs. vice-president and traffic director of the Harrlman lines, who ar rived in Portland yesterday from Chi cago. H. C. Nutt. of Tacoma, general manager of the Northern Pacific, also arrived here yesterday and with Mr. Stubbs and representatives of the Great Northern will work out the details of the proposed temporary traffic arrange ment. Arrangements Are Satisfactory. "Preliminary details have been ar ranged between the Southern Pacific and the Union pacific and the Northern Pa cific and the Great Northern for the Joint use by the Hill and Harrlman people of the Northern Pacific track between Port land and South Tacoma," said Mr. Stubbs last night, "and there is no probability that the agreement will not be concluded satisfactorily. In the meantime some tentative understanding may be reached by which the Harrlman trains will run into Tacoma and Seattle, possibly within the next two months." Mr. Stubbs said that while it was large ly problematical when the work would be completed, it was expected that the Tacoma tunnel for the Oregon & Wash ington Railroad, the Puget Sound ex tension of the Union Pacific, would be finished In a year. When the tunnel has been built, the Oregon & Washington will use its own terminals both in Tacoma and Seattle. Connections will be made with the Northern Pacific in South Ta coma, for the Joint use of which the pend ing agreement between the Hill and Har rlman people undoubtedly will be signed. Start Service in, 60 Days. Pending the final execution of this agreement, some arrangement will be reached by which the Union Pacific can operate its passenger trains over the Northern Pacific through Tacoma and to a connection with the constructed Ore gon & Washington line into Seattle. That is the mission which brings Mr. Stubbs and the traffic lepresentatives of the Hill lines to Portland at this time. Mr. Stubbs is hopeful that a satisfactory ar rangement can be effected by which the Union Pacific may begin running its trains to Puget Sound in 60 days. "Traffic conditions are Improving grad ually," said Mr. Stubbs, "but business has not yet reached the proportions wo had reason to expect for this season. It is not expected, however, that normal conditions will be restored until agita tion for tariff revision and a corporation tax are finally disposed of." Mr. Stubbs spent several days In San Francisco en route to this city, and will visit Seattle before returning to Chicago, where he Is due July 15. Mr. Stubbs Is accompanied by Mrs. Stubbs and daugh ter. . CAMPERS ARE GATHERING Preparations for Chautauqua Al ready Under Way. Campers are already beginning to pitch their tents at Gladstone Park, taking advantage of their opportunity to make selection of locations before the opening of the 16th annual assem bly of the Chautauqua Association next Tuesday morning. it has been the hope of the officers of the association that most of the season's attendants would have their tents pitched by July 3. the day before the big celebration that has been planned for the Fourth Gladstone Park has been made espe cially attractive this year, particular pains having been taken to make the magnificent grove look its best. Special arrangements have been made for accommodating an unusually large attendance at the hotels, private homes and restaurants at and near the park In addition to these, the association has a limited number of tents and mat tresses which may be procured at a reasonable rental during the time of the meeting. Kvery possible effort has been made, it is said, to minimize the beach and mountain resorts and offer ing vacation accommodations that are very complete. "By selecting their camp site on or before Saturday, visitors will be able to reap the full advantgae of the assem bly without Interruption," said Secre tary Cross last evening. "We have a great many applications for tents and tehtlng privileges up to this time and some have already begun their out door living, waiting for the opening of the assembly next week."

Manufacturers, San Francisco iii POLICE CATCH SUSPECT ROY M'NALTY MAY BE M.X WHO ATTACKED GIRL. Emil Lucke Believes Prisoner Is Guilty of Sylvan Crime and Descriptions Tally. Believed by Emll Lucke. father of the girl who was attacked on the evening of June 25, on the Council Crest road, to be the fiend who assaulted his daugh ter, a man giving the name of Roy Mc Nalty, aged 28 years, was arrested yes terday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock by Police-Harms- At the time of his arrest McNalty was Intoxicated and a charge of being drunk was lodged against him as a subterfuge for detention until the victim of the assault can be given an opportunity to Identify him. Thia will take place some time today. McNalty's arrest resulted from the pub lished description of the girl's assistant to which he answers in almost every de tail, except as to age in which she might easily have been mistaken as he looks younger than the age which he gave at police headquarters. McNalty waa arrested at Third and Oak streets. A bystander believing he was the man wanted telephoned to police headquarters. This man's attention was attracted to McNalty by reason of the fact that the utter engaged in a quarrel with a bartender' and was ejected from the Grotto saloon. Third and Yamhill streets'. McNalty appears to be about 22 or 23 years old. -He is about five feet and seven or eight inches tall; weighs about 140 pounds, and Wore a pair of corduroy trousers, a light bluish col ored hat and a light shirt, without a tie and open- around the neck. His ap pearance tallies almost exactly with the description given by the girl. When asked about his antecedents and other questions couched in lan guage which sought to keep him in ig norance of -the fact that he is suspected of committing a heinous crime, McNalty replied In sullen, hesitating. Jerky sen tences. According to his story, he came here two days ago from Seattle. His occupation is that of a male nurse, and he Is in search of a position In an emergency hospital. He came to Seat tle from Chicago, where he lived a number of years. His home is in Park vllle. 111. Thus far no attempt has been made to wring a confession from him. When the father of the girl heard of the man's arrest he immediately secured a description and declared that McNalty is undoubtedly the man wanted. Since the moment of the assault, Mr. Lucke not for one moment, while on the streets, failed to keep an eye out for the assail ant and has frequently questioned his daughter as to the man's appearance. . Several suspects have been arrested by the police since the night the crime was committed, but all, unless the present one shall prove to be the person wanted, have led to nought. An old man. resid ing at the Uncle Sam Hotel. 35 Fifth street North, appeared in the District Attorney's office Wednesday afternoon and informed Assistant District Attorney Fitzgerald that he knew where the man wanted could be found. Mr. Fitzgerald turned the case over to Detectives Crad dock and Mallet, of the police depart ment, but after investigating it they de clared the old man demented. Sheriff Stevens has been relentless in his search for the assaulter and has of fered a personal reward of $50 for his capture and conviction. Added to this Is the reward of J50 offered by Mr. Lucke. District Attorney Cameron Mon day morning made application to County Judge Webster to authorize a. reward of $500 on behalf of the county for the capture- and conviction of the man, but thus far'rt has not been announced. MAXIMUM FINE IS IMPOSED Riem's Penalty Fixed at $50 foi Beating SIster-ln-Law. Oswold Rlem. arrested one week ago charged with assaulting his sister-in-law. Mrs. Sarah A. Rlem, was fined $50 in Justice Bell's court yesterday afternoon. The facts, as related by witnesses, were so atrocious that Justice Bell gave the young man the maximum fine. In addi tion to this, he also gave Riem a lecture on his conduct. The story of Mrs. Riem's troubles Is a pathetic one. The assault occurred dur ing the Rose Festival. She was in the company of her husband when the two met Oswold Rlem. They had had trouble previously and, according to Mrs Rlem Oswold "made a face" at her. She then struck him with her umbrella. Her hus- ""u Eraopeq nom of her hands, while his brother beat her until the blood ran from bruises on her face. Mrs. Riem was taken to the hospital and remained there until Monday, when on a warrant secured by the arrested man. she was taken to the County Jail, charged with being of unsound mind. Judge Webster examined the woman yes terday morning and found her to be sane. She appeared in court against Oswold Riem yesterday afternoon. Miss Josephine R.
