Ninth Day of Trial Shows Little Progress by Prosecution An other Notary Public Admits Stamping Applications. (Continued from First Pas. later incorporated in the Maury Moun tain Forest Reserve. Sorenson Tells Plot. Sorenson said he had been a resident of Portland for 37 years. His acquaintance with F. P. Mays, D. W. Tarpley. H. G. McKinley, s. A. D. Puter and H. A. Smith extended more than 15 years in most instances, while he had always been a supporter of Senator Mitchell "I was in attendance at the session of the Legislature in 1901 when Mitchell was elected to the United States Senate," said Sorenson. "Mays was a member at that time and so was II. A. Smith, a Democrat, elected from Multnomah Coun ty on the Citizens' ticket. Prior to the election of Senator Mitchell I had come across a pamphlet issued by the Govern ment and giving a lot of information about proposed forest reserves. I found that an addition to the Cascade reserve had been recommended by Forest Super intendent Ormshy. Quietly I bought up all the school lands within the proposed additions. I then had a talk with Sen ator Mitchell. I thought it a good idea to have the Senator help the thing along, and I agreed to pay him $500 to help se cure the additions. "The additions had been hanging fire for some time and I wanted to rush the case along to get the money out of the school lands. Senator Mitchell advised me to get out a petition addressed to Commissioner Hermann and have all the members of the Multnomah County dele gation to the Legislature sign it. I went to some of the men. and Smith helped me with others. Alex Sweek and the whole crowd signed it. It asked the Com missioner to rush action on the Cascade reserve because the settlers there desired fire protection through the work the for est rangers were doing. Mays wrote the petition for me, and later sent it to Mr. Hermann. He told me he had also sent a psrsonal letter. Maya and Smith both knew that I owned the school lands. "In the following Summer I called on Maya at his office in the Chamber of Commerce building and proposed that we have a forest reserve created in the Blue Mountains. Mays said all right, and that it was a good idea. Mays said we would have to talk with Jones and Smith. "A few days later we all met and talked the thing over, deciding where we would place the lines, etc., and we agreed on a' division of the work. Each one was to do his part. Smith and Mays said they would take care of the Wash ington end and have the reserve recom mended by Mitchell and Binger Hermann. Jones said he would do what he could and I was to attend to buying the land and getting up the petitions. Petitions Are Circulated. "We first decided to get up. a petition carrying the names of a lot of prominent men and to fill in enough to make up 1000 names. That plan was abandoned later and we decided to get out petitions among the people in the various counties in which the proposed reserve would be lo cated. Smith attended to the county petitions. "Everybody understood I was to get the lands in the usual way. I was to go down in the slums of the North End and pay men to sign applications,, then deposit them at the Land Office and pay 25 cents an acre on the lands. Mays had been interested with me more than once in that sort of thing. I had made deals with Jones and Smith also. "The way I did it was to hunt up fel lows 'who were well acquainted. They -would bring in a lot of men and I would ask them if they had ever bought school lands. If they had not bought lands, I would ask them If they wanted to earn a dollar by signing their names to an ap plication and an assignment. They al ways did. Usually I would not have enough applications to go around. At one time I got about 60 applications in this way for H. A. Smith, and at another time furnished Jones a batch for his use. U cost them tl for each application, be sides expenses of drinks." At this point in the examination of 6orenson the court adjourned. Land Board Involved. George G. Brown, chief clerk of the (State Land Board at Salem, who for merly was a subaltern in that office, resumed testifying at the opening of the trial in the morning. Under a grill ing examination by Attorney Heney for the Government and Attorney Worth . ington for the defense, Brown admitted that he had entertained suspicion that fraud was connected with filing of bundles of applications by Sorenson, Puter. Tarpley, McKinley and others. Brown said he was only a clerk in the office and it was not his business to confide his fears to the Land Board, of which Governor Geer was president; that he understood his business was to obey orders as given him by Chief Clerk Chamberlain. He was instructed, lie said, to receive and file all appli cations presented so long as they were filled out properly and acknowledged. When pressed by Attorney Worthing ton as to whether the Land Board it self know of the existence of applica tions, filed in wholesale lots by dum mies who had been employed by the looters of the school funds, Mr. Brown did not give a direct answer. "What I want to know is, did the Land Board know of the frauds that were being practiced in this state, and did it wink at evasions of the law?" thundered the attorney for the defense. "I can't say," replied Brown. Then Attorney Heney took a hand at questioning Brown. "Do you meant to fay to this jury and court, Mr. Brown, that when Puter, Mays, McKinley. Jones and the other land-fraud experts rushed tip to Salem to protest against the sale of school lands to Hyde and Benson, after the creation of the addition to the Warner Mountain Foresl Iteserve, that you and the Land Board were not aware of the fact that frauds were being carried out?" asked Attorney Heney. "I can't say," replied Brown. "But I want to say that after the frauds were exposed in the newspapers the Land Board changed the rules about accept ing bunches of applications when pre sented by one man." "That was after the Marion County grand Jury had investigated the case, was it not?" Yes." Hyde and Benson Alert. In explanation of the formation of the Warner Mountain Reserve. Attor ney Heney later said that Hyde and Benson had caused the California re serve to be extended into Oregon, and had purchased all the school lands in the addition before Jones, Mays and Puter heard of it. This was the begin ning of the school-land frauchj in Ore gon. C. E. S. Wood, as a- witness for the Government, testified" that he was local agent for the owners of the Willam ette Valley and Cascade Mountain Wagon Road grant, owning lands ex tending six miles on either side of the right of way. In June, 1902,-Mr. Wood said. Mays called upon him and wanted to purchase two townships of the lands owned by the Wagon Road Company, and asked Wood to recommend a price. Mays at the time explained that the Blue Mountain Forest Reserve was go ing to be created and that he wanted the townships that he could have them Included within, the withdrawal. Mays explained that the lands had been logged off and were of little value. After Colonel Wood Tiad declined to make the sale, he said that Mays came back and wanted an agreement where by the company was to fix a minimum price of 75 cents or 1 an acre on the lands. Mays would then have them placed In the reserve, and wanted to sell the scrip which could be obtained for them in exchange. Mays and the company to divide the profits above the minimum price. The offer was reject ed and afteiward the entire tract was left out of. the reserve. Mays insisted on speedy action, saying "his parties in Washington" were about to fix the boundaries, and it was necessary for him to forward the Information. As its next witness the Government called John I. Mann, now secretary for the Star Brewing Company, of Port land. Mann experienced a bad hour over questions by attorneys and jurors. He testified that he had been admitted to practice law, and that in 1902 had retired from that profession and was a Notary Public. Mann said that on three occasions he had accompanied George Sorenson to a saloon at Second and Burnslde streets, where each time he acknowledged applications by 10 or 15 persons for the purchase of school lands. At the same time, said Mann, the applicants would, sign an assign ment of their purchase. Fraud Not Noticed.. "I read the applications to each per son as he signed," said the witness. "but cannot remember whether the blanks had been completely filled out." The witness said that, as a lawyer, he did not know that fraud was being practiced by the applicants. Questioned by jurors, Mann said Sorenson paid him 50 cents for each set of papers ' ac knowledged, and. as that was cheaper than the fees allowed by law, it was considered a wholesale price. "Are you still a Notary Public?" asked Attorney Worthington. "Yes, sir." "Have you been regularly appointed every two years?" "Yes." "Did you ever testify previous to this time that you assisted Sorenson in the manner you have stated?" "Yes." "Don't you have to be recommended as a man of good moral character be fore you are appointed?" "Yes." "Who recommended you?" "Sol Blumauer and Eugene Hoch." Mann was excused as a witness after denying that he had seen Sorenson pay any money to the men who signed ap plications in the North End resorts. The prosecution showing him an affi davit he had signed wherein such an admission was made, Mann then re turned to the courtroom and testified that he had seen Sorenson pay money to the men, as well as buy them several rounds of drinks. Indemnity Selection Made. E. P. McCornack, of Salem, called as a witness for the Government, testified that he was employed by W. N. Jones In 1S02 tc make an indemnity selection list of lai'ds. The witness was not a mem ber or the Land Board, but said he pre pared the list as directed and handed it to fcyron Geer, who, at that time, was State Land Agent, and the check for the rets w.-is handed to a clerk in his office. The money was furnished by Jones. Mc Cornack identified the list of lands which he had prepared and said that the lands used as base for exchange with the Gov ernment were all unsurveyed and sit uated within the boundaries of the pro posed Blue Mountain forest reserve. The reserve had not, at that time, been created permanently by proclamation of the President.- It was only a withdrawal for purpose? of Investigation. The witness said the Indemnity list was forwarded to The Dalles and the Land Board asked for lands in place of those used as a base In another pert of the state. Oswald West, State Land Agent in 1903. and now a member of the State Railroad Coniii'iFHon, identified the indemnity lists, saying the lands, which the state asked for as indemnity, were surveyed lands which toon afterward became a part of the Maury Mountain forest reserve -and which the Mays-Jones-Sorenson combina tion r-urchased from the state. "It ras a roundabout way of acquiring acreage eo.ua' to all the unsold lands In the Biuc Mountain reserve," said Mr. West. J. J. Fitzgerald. Deputy District Attor ney, testified that while acting in that capacity ur.der District Attorney Hume, in 1S01, he took a number of acknowl edgments for Sorenson. WINTER ROSES ASTOUNDING W. I). Hazard, Representing Eastern Papers, to Write Up Festival. W. D. Hazard, owner and publisher of the Newport Herald, of Newport, R. I., and representing, on his Western tour, the Providence Journal, New York Sun, New York Tribune, New York Press and Boston Herald, Is In Portland. He is here for the purpose of getting away from the rigors of New England climate and at the same time to send mail correspond ence to his papers. Hazard will remain In the city long enough to prepare a series of articles re lating to the Rose Festival. He spent yesterday afternoon with President Hoyt. "It's a big relief to get away from blizzards, blows and howling storms," said Mr. Hazard yesterday, "and I think It will be worth while for me to stay around long enough to find out what the weather man back home is going to do. "I don't believe very much about this planting of roses on Washington's birth day that I hear so much about in Port land. It has -been my honest intention to lead some of your strong boosters off to one side and ask them if it is really true. "You know, coming from bleak New England and talking rose bushes in Jan uary is as strong a line of 'dope as I know anything about. Roses are about the only thing I have heard of since I arrived here night before last, so I sup pose all this talk must be so. Today is positively last day for dis count on East Side gas bills.

STRICTER QUIZ DISCUSED Secretary Kennedy, of Civil Service Board, Would Have Official's Successor Possess Five I Years' Experience. Building Inspector Dobson will resign j in the near future, his resignation to take effect March 1, when Mayor Simon will appoint a successor. Mr. Dobson will engage in business. This announcement was made by Secretary Kennedy, of th Civil Service Commission, at the com mission's meeting yesterday afternoon, when a wider scope of examination for the office was discussed. Secretary Kennedy had discussed the scope of the examination with various architects, and submitted a new plan, which calls for five years of actual ex perience and a four years' course in a technical school, or eight years of experi ence without the school course. This was thought necessary by the architects with whom Major Kennedy talked, but Civil Service Commissioner Willis felt that so much experience ts not required to se cure good results. "Probably the best Building Inspector we ever had was Mr. Spencer, a young man, just out of school when appointed," said Commissioner Willis. "He took the office and made good, although he had not the experience many architects thought he should have for the position. He knew his business, but he did not stay very long, for he got something bet ter and quit. I fail to see the necessity for all of this long experience. Probably the architects who have been consulted have been in business here a long time and feel that anyone who is to be Build ing Inspector should go through the same experience they have, but I cannot see it that way." After debating the subject for some time, it was decided that it would be wise to consider further before taking definite action. The subject will be taken up at the next meeting of the commis sion. Two weeks' notice is required in calMng for an examination, so there will be ample time to hold one before March 1, when it will be necessary to appoint Mr. Dbbson's successor. Since Portland began to build numerous clats A buildings, as well as scores of other large structures, the office of Building Inspector has become one of the most important of the municipal posi tions. Mr. Dobson has served two years. and gave general satisfaction, although at times he met with strong opposition from certain Councilmen and local archi tects. The position pays $175 a month. YOUTH SHOOTS HIMSELF LOVELORN AJLVIN VVOODCOX QUARRELS WITH GIRL. Rib Deflects Bullet and He Is Not Much HurtHad Planned Revenge. Despondency over a love affair and scarcity of money caused Alvin Wood cox, an Oregon City youth, to fire a .32 callber bullet into his body in the Ar cade Hotel, 146 First street, at 7 o'clock last evening. The bullet was deflected by a rib and lodged beneath the sTcin at the pit of his right arm. It was extracted by surgeons at St. Vincent's Hospital later. His condition is not regarded as seri ous. Woodcox is said to have been a pulp worker in an Oregon City papermill until recently. As a sequel to a quar rel with his sweetheart, Woodcox quit his employment last week. When he failed to effect a reconciliation he came to Portland. In the early evening he entertained Wesley Green, a friend from Oregon City, in his room. Woodcox loaded the weapon with which he en deavored to end his life. As he laid it on a dresser, he centered his remarks upon the loaded revolver and said: "If I was in Oregon City now, some girl would get hers." In the conversation that followed Woodcox intimated that he had planned revenge. A few moments after Green had left the morose youth fired the bullet into his own body. He then ran down three flights of stairs to the street, where he sank Into unconscious ness on the sidewalk. A Red Cross auto-ambulance took him to the . hos pital. DAILY METEOROtOCICAL REPORT.

This makes a full pint of unequaled cough syrup for about 54 cents. Keeps perfectly. You couldn't buy as much ready-made cough syrup for $2.50. This home-made remed;- is pleasant to take, and usually stops even the most obstinate cough in twenty-four hours. It is splendid, also, for colds, whooping cough, bronchial ailments, etc. iake a teasp'oonful every one, two or three hours. The Sugar Syrup is an . excellent sedative.
