accounts.

making is due to the fact that we have gained

Mitchell's Attorneys Ask For
a New Trial.
TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT
Demurrers to Complaints Against Ceo.
C. Brownell and Otbers
Overruled.
Special to Evening Review.
Portland, July 10. Senator Mitch
ell's attorneys this morning presented
a motion for a new trial, the principal
grounds for which are as follows:
That the failure of the late Judge
Bellinger to allow the plea in abate
ment to be tried out before a jury was
violation of the constitutional rights
of the defendant; that the jury re
turned a general verdict on all counts
of the indictment when, it was argued,
the sixth count was not proved. Ex
ceptions were also taken to certain re
marks of Prosecutor Eeney in his clos
ing arguments to the jury.
Judge De Haven has taken the mo
tion under advisement.
Demurrers to the complaints against
Geo. C. Brownell, C. D. Barnard and
C. Zachary were overruled by Judge
De Haven.
Geo. E. Wagner pleaded not guilty
to two indictments.
WITNESSES ARE RECTICENT.
Three witnesses now have been
heard in the trial of Representative
Williamson, Dr. Van Gesner and
Marion K. Biggs, whose cases are
being heard before Judge De Haven.
They have given damaging testimony,
but it has been literally dragged frbm
them, and Saturday morniug when
Henry Beard was testifying, Judge
De Haven turned to District Attor
ney Henoy and said: "Mr. Heney,
you may lead the witness, for It seems
as if this is the only way you can get
anything outof him."
This statement came from the court
after His Honor had listened to the
examination of Campbell Duncan,
Green Beard and his eon Henry.
Hardly had the direct examination of
Duncan gotten under way than inter
ferences that witness for the Govern
ment had been tampered with were be
ing brought out. Duncan had a splen
did ability to forget. His memory in
connection with the talks and deals
that he had with the defendants was
conveniently a blank. So was that of
Green Beard, who was another of the
men who had taken up a timber claim,
which, it is alleged, was taken up for
Dr. Gosner and Representative Wil
liamson. His son Henry was also suf
fering from a bad memory, but after a
severe shaking up both by Mr. Heney
and Judge Bennett, he blandly admitt
ed, when he was closely pressed' by
Judge Bennett, that he had committed
perjury in swearing to his timber en
try affidavit.
The charge against the defendants Is'
that they procured a large number of
persons to make entries tinder the tim
ber and stone act, the entrymcn mak
ing affidavit that they were taking the
claims for their own use and benefit
and bad made 00 contract or agreement
for tbe sale of the laud to any other
person. These affidavits, It is charged,
were false, tbe claimants having en
tered into previous agreement to con
vey the lands to Wllliameon and Ges
ner, who were advancing all the ex
penses of securing the land, and who
were to pay each claimant 875 when
the patents had been issued and tbe
deal was consummated. The affidavits
and proofs were made before Marlon
R. Brlggs, United States commissioner
at Prlneville.
According to the testimony which
baa been given "Gesner finally became
apprehensive that trouble would re
sult on account of the timber claims
taken up at his alleged instigation, and
April 24, MOt, wrote to one of tbe en-
trymen, Henry E. Beard, as follows:
OKSNKK'S LETTER.
I think the only thing for you to do
now Is to relinquish your timber claim.
The department has a tip on the busi
ness and to avoid any trouble I have
got to get out from under tbe whole
thing, have nothing more to do with it
and save trouble for all of us. They
are liable to call us b 3 lore the United
States grand jury as witnesses and
give us a lot of trouble, so the only
thing to do is to relinquish your olaim.
I would dothat right away. Say noth
ing about (it). Go before Mr. Brlggs."
Forced to Starve.
B. F. Leek, of Concord, Ky., Bays:
"For 20 years I suffered agonies with a
sore on my upper Up, so painful, some
times, that 1 could not eat. After
vainly trying everything else, I cured
it with Bucklen's Arnica Salve." It's
great for burns, cuts and wounds. At

JAPS AT SAKHALIN.
St. Petersburg, July 10. A
landing of Japanese troops on the
Island of Sakhalin was officially re
ported toulght, and starlos military
circles in St. Petersburg, though it had
been realized since the defeat of Ad
miral Rejestvensky that the Japanese
were able to take possession ol the isl
and as soon as they thought fit. Tbe
strength of the landing force cannot be
ascertained, but the garrison of the
island Is too weak to olfer an effective
defense.

WANT MORE WATER
Many Protests on Account of
Short Supply.
STATEMENT BY MR. BLAKELY
Uopcs to Give Better Service Herc
' after R. R. Co. is the
Greatest Consumer.
Vigorous protests on account of lack
of water Bupply have been made by
Roseburg oltlzens during the past few
days, and the matter was talked of as
to calling upon the water company in a
body in order, if possible, to seoure a
better service, deolarlng they will not
pay for a service that they are not re
ceiving. In this all admit that they
are entirely justifiable. This matter
becoming known to Manager P. J.
Blakely, he made tho following state
ment: makes plain statement.
Mr. Blakely said today: "We real
ize that there is great dissatisfaction,
with tbe water company because of the
shortage In the supply of water, and It
I Is no more than just that the people
should have tbe plain facts in this
matter. Several weeks ago, as presi
dent of this company, we wrote the S.
P. R. R. Co. a request that they make
some arrangements with us regarding
water, because of the warm season
coming on. Up to the present time we
I have received no reply from them. At
tbe conference nHve mentioned, we
slated ve" frankly to the officials of
tbe road that with tbe increasing
traffic this year we would not be able
to supply their engines and cars witb
our present facilities, and also take
care of tho people of this town., They
then said that they would either put In
a plant of their own or let us know In
time so that wo might purchase a new
pump. We realize tbat tbe S. P. Co.
pays a large amount of money into tbis
city each month, and of course are de
sirous of keeping their good will. In
the mean time we do not feel as though
this company should bear the burdon
of public opinion and be blamed
for a shortage of water which
we are trying to supply, not only
to the people, but to tho railway
company as well. Our steam pump has
been put into operation and we hope to
now be able to keep up tbe water sup
ply." In view of tbe conditions now exist
ing, it is very plain tbat tbe water
company must hereaftor give an ade
quate service to our people or will lose
the regular monthly revenue there
from. There will be held at the Lone
Rock school house on Friday oven
ing, July 14, a pie social for the bene
fit of the Baptist finances. Everybody
cordially Invited and every lady re
quested to bring a pie. Cake and
coffee served after the literary pro
gramme. Mrs. L. M. Conn in i-:.

PHILIPPINE CRISIS.
Civil Government Now on Verge of
Utter Destruction.
Washington, July 0. Secretary
Taft Is hastening to Manila to prevent
an utter collapse of the civil govern
menlthereasadmlnlstored by Govornor
Wright. Tho mystery of his mission
and tbe urgency with which it is under
taken are gradually being revealed.
Early action of a romedlaf charactor
Is necessary to prevent the government
from becoming bankrupt through
shortrge of revenue receipts.
Governor Wright has not made pro
gress in dealing with the Filipinos.
Ho has asked them to obey tho laws
and let It go at that. He hasnotsought
to harmonize differences and secure
their co.opcratioo. Ab a result, tho
Filipinos are now refusing to pay
taxes. They knew nothing about land
and revenue taxes until Amo.-lcan rule
was made ofTeotlve. Taft succeeded In
Inducing tho natives to pay these taxes.
Under Wright they refused payment.
It is impossible to sell the land for de
linquent taxes.
The decrease in Philippine rovonue
has been so great that nothing but
bond sales has prevented a collapse of
the government. The money derived!
from selling bonds and certificates of
indebtedness has furnished sufficient
funds to maintain affairs up to this
time, but tbe sums borrowed must
be repaid, and the situation has grown,
serious.
