ROSEBURG-SS Government's Charges Against 'Messrs Booth - DEFENDANT NOT ALARMED fllluoogu the Government May Drag tne Case Along loi a Couple ot Weeks Special to tne Evening Review. PORTLAND, Or., July 1. Robert A. Booth, ex-State Senator; James Henry Booth, ex-Receiver of the Raseburg land office, and T. E. Sin gleton, their brother-in-law, were placed on trial In the federal -court this afternoon on an indictment icbarglng them with conspiracy t defraud the government of Its pub lic lands. Selection of a jury is now In progress. The defendants are represented by Dan J. Malarkey and County Judge L. R. Webster, of thU city, and A. C. Woodcock, of Eugene. The prose cution will be conducted by Tracy C. Becker, special assistant to the at torney general, assisted by United States District Attorney McCourt and Thomas B. Neuhausen, representing the Interior Department. Outline of the Case. Portland Oregonlan, July 15: The Indictment against the two Booths and Singleton was filed In the United States court on April 8, 1905. The specific charge is an alleged conspir acy on part of the defendants to defraud the United States out of the title to a tract of 160 acres of pullc land In Lane county through the use of false affidavits and proofs of homestead entry procured to , be made by I. Thomas Agee. The fraud charged In the indictment was perpe trated prior to and during the year 1902. The government expects to prove that Agee, early In the year 1902. had a homestead which was located within the Cascade Forest Reserve and In Douglas county; that he was induced by the defendants to relin quish the same and to select in lieu there an equal acreage of valuable timber land In Lane county. The prosecution expects to show that the exchange of the land was expedited by reason of the fact that James Henry Booth at the time was receiver Watch Roseburg Pave and Grow! MR.

Wit nesses and evidence will also be sub mitted by the government to show that within a short lime after Agee finally rrceived the patent on the Lane county timber land he disposed of the land to the Hooth-Kelly Lum ber company, of which the defend ant, Robert A. Booth, was president and manager, for a consideration of $300. While no outline of the defense was ' obtntned by the government, through examination of witnesses, it is understood that the defendants will contend that the settler borrow ed money from the Booths to prove up on the claim and that later, when the settler was unable to repay the amount, the claim was deeded to the defendants. Between 25 and .10 witnesses wllr be called by the prosecution and un doubtedly a great muss of document ary evidence will be offered In sup port of the charge. In this respect the suit promises to be fully as long and tiresome as other preceding land-fraud trials. It Is admitted by the government that two weeks will be required to. try the case and the probability is that fully three weeks will be necessary. (While the defense has announced no outline of their case, it is cur rently reported tlint they will be able to show their Innocence more easily tha In the recent trial of J. H. Booth, wherein the defendant was found not guilty by the jury al though none of his witnesses were called to testify.) TO HAX) A NHfiRO OKLAHOMA, City. Okln., July 16 1 Will Johnson, a negro youth, who committed a bruta! assault upon an aged white woman near Shawnoe. causing her death, Is under sentence to he hanged tomorrow. The crime of Johnson wns but one of dozens that have been committed by negroes in Oklahoma during the laet few months and which have at times threatened to result In a gen eral race war. In some instnnces pitched battles have taken place be tween whites and blacks, and over a dozen persons have been killed and many wounded as the result of trou ble caused directly or indirectly by the colored "bad men' of the new state. i Johnson, who is to be executed to morrow, strenuously maintained his innocence until his trial, when he created a sensation by suddenly jumping to his feet and loudly de claring that he was guilty. The trial stopped and the jury was Instructed to bring In a verdict of guilty, which it did aud added the death penalty. WANTED A girl to do general nouseworK; wages yis. Answer B. R. 100.

It required all the magnamlnity Englishmen could muster to pay honors due young Selig Brodetsky, the young Russian Jew who won the senior wranglership at Cambridge. But once having become reconciled to the idea that the blue ribbon of British scholarship should go to the son or a humble Immigrant, the son himself having been born In Russia and rear ed amid the squalor of the East End, Brodetsky was made the hero of the hour. I And no one will deny that the young Russian Jew deserves all he has won. Determining to get an ! education he entered the Jew's free school in Whitechapel. After four years he won his first scholarship, which provided fees and part main tenance at the Central Foundation school. From that on prlzei came thick and fast. In his first year at the Central Foundation school he won the Lady Tlte scholarship of $100 and became captain Qf the school. The next year he took the Fishmongers' Company scholarship of $250 and In the same year en tered Trinity College, Cambridge, This scholarship provided $250 a year for four years, but as $250 a year does not go very far at Trinity, where maintenance costs more than $1000, young Brodetsky set out to win other prizes. He first took a minor providing $300 a year and fol lowed It up by carrying off a major worth $.".00 a year, tenable for five years. Next he tackled the Marma duke and Levitt scholarship and an nexed it, giving him another $200 a year for three years. The Anthony Death scholarship came next, with $300 a year for four years. Brodetsky had now provided him self with an Income of $1500 a year, but he kept right on annexing prizes. In fact he added so fast to his in come that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer swooped down upon him and mulcted hfm of a share of his earnings by the machinery of the In come tax commission. The college authorities declare that the Russlnn Jew's record of prize winning W without, parallel in the history of Cambridge. !U HAL CARRIERS AS NOTARIES WASHINGTON. July 15.

Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, founder of Christian Science, is today celebrat ing her 87th birthday. Admirers nnd followers of the famous religious leader in all parts of the world sent telegraph and cable messages of congratulation. Mrs. Eddy spent the day quietly In her handsome house in Chestnut Hill. Recent rumors to the effect that she is seriously ill are denied and her private secretary de clares that she is wonderfully vigor ous, mentally and physically, for one of her years. Mrs. Eddy's followers declare that their leader has been persistently misrepresented by a prominent New York newflpuper, especially as re gards her physical and mental health. When this journal recently declared that she was ill, because she hnd failed to take her customary drive, Mrs. Eddy Issued the follow ing caustic public statement: "Since Mrs. Eddy is watched, as one watches a criminal or a sick per son, she begs to say. In her own he half, that she is neither; therefore to be criticised or Judged by either a dally drive or a dignified stay at home. Is superfluous. When accum ulnting work requires It, or because of a preference to remain within doors she omits her drive, do not strain at gnats or swallow camelp over It, but try to be composed and resigned to the shocking fact that she Is minding her own buslnessand recommends in is Burpfyung privi lege to all her dear friends and eneJ mles."

TRUST LAUGHS AT LAW. Paper Combine Keeps Thousands Out of Employment. NEW YORK, July 15. "Not only are the paper makers keeping their own employes in Idleness but are enforcing idleness upon thousands of workers in printing and publishing plants throughout the country.' This is the conclusion Herman Bidder, president of the American Newspaper Publishers' association, expressed In a letter addressed to the president about paper combina tions. The letter Btntes that the promise that the courts would provide an adequate and prompt remedy, after an appeal to Congress for relief had failed; that after 24 paper compnnles acting together in the fiber and ma- nila association hnd been subjected to Investigation by the federal grand jury, the paper makers admitted that they had placed their records be yond their reach; but simultaneously all but two of the participants plead ed guilty, and that Immunity wntf practically given to all who partici pated In the pool. The trensurer and originator of the pool, John H. Parks, Is now, the latter says, a fugitive In Europe. He was Included In the Indictments. "Such a finish to the procedure," the letter adds, "is a miscarriage of Jus tice." The situation, the letter concludes, requires drastic treatment and the appeal Is made that steps be taken "to bring-the law-breakers to their senses, nnd to end a lawless condi tion which interferes with the re turn of prosperity."

MOHK RACING NEXT WKKK One week from tomorrow, Friday, uly 24, another exciting running orse race takes place at the district fair grounds, east of this city. The entries are the same four horaes that ran at the fair grounds yesterday, w. W. cardweirs "King Kohr," Bert Brown's "Oregon Frank," Sam Smith's "Lady Beach," and Dr. J. Chapman's "Princess." This ev ent will be a half-mile daBh, best two heats In three, with a 60-foot dis tance limit, that is: If in the first heat any one of the four horses gal lops under the wire at least 60 feet ahead of all the other three such horse also wins the race. In case n third heat Is necessary to decide tho race It will be run only between tho winners of the first and Becond heats. The purse Is $400, made up of bets of 100 a side. There aro prospects also of num erous other wagers, with "King Kohr' and "Oregon Prank" ruling as favorites. "Princess," on account of her defeat by "Oregon Frank" yes terday, la considered by many as tho least likely to win, while "Lady Beach's" stock Is running low on ac count of a sprained knee, which her owner statoa was solely responsible for her poor showing against "King Kohr." While. "King Kohr" 1b gen orally conceded to bo tho best horse of the four on a mile run, "Ordgon Frank" Is claimed by mnny to be his master at a hnlf-inllo.
