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

of the Koseburg land office, where
the transaction was conducted. 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.)

IH'KttAX JWW'S RISE.
Horn III Kquuior, he Becomes lrixe
Winner at Cambridge.
LONDON, July 15. 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.

have agreed to continue the move

jectionable billboard advertising
Hereafter the "paper" of burlesque

MRS. EDDY IS 87.
CaiiNtic Statement Shows Her to be
In Full Mental Cower.
BOSTON, July 16. 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."
The RciiMtly That Doc.
"Dr. King's New Discovery Is the
remedy that does the healing others
promise but fall to perform," says
.Mrs. E. R. Pierson, of Auburn Cen
tre, Pa. "It Is curing me of throat
and lung trouble of long standing
that other treatments relieved only
temporarily. New Discovery 1b do
ing me so much good that I feel con
fident its continued use for a rea
sonable length of time will restore
me to perfect health." ThlH re

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. Opinion dif
fers on this strouirly, however, and

change hands when the race Is over.
