Did He Have Knowledge of Forest Reserve Frauds HENEY CLAIMS HE DID Arguments Concerning the Introduc s tlon of Kvldence Being Made Be fore Judge Wolverton Will Give Decision Tonight. (Special to The Evening News) Portland. Ore., Jan. 21. Did Bln- ger Hermann have any knowledge of the Blue Mountain Forest Ueserve by reason of having had his attention called to the extensive frauds being perpetrated by Hyde and Benson in California, and In the Cascade Forest Reserve In Oregon? Prosecutor Heney contends that the defendant did have such knowledge and that he should be allowed to introduce testimony to that effect. Col. Worthington, repre senting Hermann, says it Ip unfair to open the door- to such evidence, and all through the morning session Judge Wolverton has been listening to the arguments of the two attor neys, and It Is anticipated that the judge will render a decision this af ternoon as to whether the govern ment will be allowed to make such showing. If Judge Wolverton per mits Heney to present this phase tit the matter, which it seem? practical ly certain that he will do, then Heney will ben In the last 'an In the trial of the ex-commissioner of the land office, and make strenuous attempt to show that Hermnnn had lull knowledge of the vay school lands were being fraudulently taken, and although In some instances he refused to sanction the creation of forest re serves, the Blue Mountain Reserve did meet with his approbation, which win be taken as evidence to t?hov that he was concerned in Its creation. Sneclal Prosecutor Heney last night announced that he would probably conclude the presentation of evidence against Blnger Hermann before the adjournment of court at noon Satur day. All witnesses yet to testify for the government, with one probable ex ception, are from Washington, D. C, and will be questioned concerning let ters and other documentary evidence which may tend to show knowledge of the Blue Mountain Forest Reserve conspiracy Hermann Is alleged to have acquired. Court adjourned at 3:4ft o clock esterday afternoon, Judge Wolverton being still Indisposed. Another rea son for early adjournment developed when attorneys Tor the defense an nounced they would contest the ad mission of evidence to be given by Ir win Rittenhouse, who was In the wit ness seat when adjournment was taken. Rittenhouse was sworn late yester day afternoon, his opening Testimony being that he had been with the De partment of the Interior since 1889. In 1900. 1901 and 1902, when Her man was Commissioner of the General Land Office, Rittenhouse was called upon frequently to act as bis sten ographer. Now he Is nominal super intendent of files and records In the land office. When Rittenhouse had Identified his connection with the Interior Department, Attorney Wor thington objected to the witness rond Iuft certain letters brought by him from Washington. These letters are said to nave apprised Hermann, when commissioner, of the conspiracy In the lue Mountains as well as other sec tions nroenn. It is understood a conversation held In a Washington restaurant by Her mann and Rittenhouse will be delved into if the witness is allowed to tes tify. Objections to all evidence of tit type have been offered and the legality of its admission will be ar gued nnon before this morning. It Is probable the argument will he con cluded before the noon recess. Coun sel for government and defense being anxious to expedite the trial. Persons who have followed the trial closely believe the evidence In dispute is relied upon by Attorney Honey to connect Hermann with the Blue Mountain conspiracy. Attorneys for both sides refused to be Interviewed last night, declining to tell the nature of any disclosures which Rlttnnhouse and M. J. ; McValti are expected to make. RUSSIA REFUSES .

Mr. Con nelly proved nu Interesting as well as instructive sneaker, and his atten tive audience bespeaks the growing Interest In socialism, a subject that Is now demanding the attention of a grent many of our best newspaper and magazine writers. 1 he speaker, took occasion to ex- plnln something as to what he term ed the two conceptions of a political party. Kepuullcuus and democrats, he assorted, had the conception that the party must have a great man as a leader, such as a Bryan or a Roosevelt, while the socialist concep tion of a pollticnl party was the cause or Interests of a clnss, the so cialist party being bused on the in terests of the producing cIosb. While republlcnn and democratic orators were appealing to the people hy re peating euphoneoii8 phrnseB from their great lenders; the socialists were citing economic oondltlonB nnd oxortlng tho producing class to Htudy this principle of political economy. Mr. Ccnnolly spoke to some extent upon the freedom of contract. Our present system Is ono of buying and selling. Tho laborer must Boll In or der tho.t he may buy, and he has nothing to sell hut his lulior-hndy and mind. His bony and mind cnn stltute the man, therefore a man that sells his Inbor sells his life.

You may refuse to work for Jones or Brown, but somewhere, Bometime you must go to somo capitalist and ask him to become your master ask him to buy your life, or a part of "it. nnd that at the price set by the cap italist. What Is the coercion that Is used? It 1b starvation staring the father and his family In the face. If a party Is forced by Intimidation In any way as by threatening his lire, to beromo a party to a contract. It la generally considered Illegal. The ex ception is found in tho capitalist class employing the producing class. In Bpenklng of the wage slave Mr. Connolly mude quite a unique dis tinction between the wage and chat tel slave by stating that this chattel slave was always trying to hide from his master while the wage slavo was alwnys trying to find a master. As to the brains of capitalist be ing needed for the management of the grent industries, ho cited the death of Hnrrimnn. Many had come to believe that the Harrlman railroad system could not run without this "grout man" nt Its head, yet he dlod nnd not n wheel stopped. Mr. Connolly asserted that the cnpitnllst class was becoming useless and must die In accordance with the lnws of nature. Just aB surely as the tail of the monkey wnB dispensed with when he attained manhood. Any member or orgnn of the body or a machine, or of society Is alwnys by the economic law of nature elimin ated when It or they become useless. PAY OIIHCKH STOI'I'KO.
