It now seems certain that the curie will not he sent to the 'Jury b.'foro the latter part of the coming week. I'nsigiHMl Letters Admitted. This morning Judge Woh rtim made n ruling udmlltiug ns evii!eu' against Hermann three unsigned let ters reluting to the proposed III in Molllitulll Forest Reserve and which were mulled from the General Laud Ollico in September, 1902. In admitting tlte three letters us competent evidence. Judge Wolver ton held as "reasonable" Prosecutor Heney's supposition that Hermann had knowledge of the protests re ferred to therein. The prosecution alleges that Hermann purposely avoided signing these letters so they would be returned lo the General Land Office flies, as was customary with unsigned letters, in wtiicn evi ni 5i - they would not go to the President. 'vho would have perhaps stopped the 'cKtjwitlon of the ltlue Mountain Re serve, which political friends of Her mann were promoting. Professor Filbert rtoth, who holds ' the chair of forestry In the I'niver sltv of Michigan, as a witness for the prosecution was weakened materially as he was unable to testify positively regarding the unsigned letters, and Attorney VVorthinglon waB success-, fill in several objections us to the character of tho testimony tho wit ness was inclined to give.

I:'friie Gains Point. Attorney Htuey undertook to show l,y a refen nee lo each of the applications for new forest reserves what the attitude of Hermann, as Commissioner, was in each instance. This line of examinations was blocked by Attorney Worthington for the defense, who insisted that before this could he don' , the Government should he required to produce, from the Land Ollico llles, all papers and records pertaining to such reserve, thnt the reasons for the actions of Hermann In each case might bo de termined. Counsel for the defense insisted that the examination of the witness should be restricted to a discussion In a general way of the policy of Hermann toward reserves, without going into details with ref erence to each particular reserva tion. In this contention. Attorney Worthington was sustained by the cou rt. As a matter of custom in the office. said Roth, nil letters of importance which may have been written in tho absence of the Commissioner were always held for bis consideration and signature hefore being mailed. This was particularly true to all corres pondence relating to land in Oregon, in answer to a iniestloii fror tudgo Wolverton, the witness sul-1 he con sidered the three unsliMied letters as important. Heney Alleges l-'avoritism. In an endeavor to -how that Her mann made use of the word "special" in expediting the affairs of Jones and the formation of the Itlue .Mountain Reserve, Attorney Heney brought out various meanings of the word as understood by employes of the In terior Department. It was testified that "special," written by the Com missioner across the top of a letter with a red lead pencil, meant that everything was to give way to that communication in the department to which it was addressed. When clerks or the heads of departments made use of the word. It was written on a sticker or tag and attached to tho letler or paper upon which they were working, thai the intention of the bead of the department or the Commissioner might be attrartrd to to document before sinning. Several of the letters sent to the department concerning subjects In which Jones. Mays and Sorenson aro alleged to have been interested bore the red pencil markings of Hermann, it was told, and were expedited. Attorney Heney will argue that Hermann gave these documents right of way be cause of his interest in the plans of the Oregonians. Ilenrv Meldrum, on cross examina tion, denied that he over had told F. K. Kincart, Harry Miller or Schiller Hermann, a son of the de fendant, that he had been promised n pardon by Government officials in consideration of the testimony he Have only one doctor just one I No sense in running from one doctor to another I Select the best one, then cMnd hu him Nn cpnse in trvinp this , c- "ICqHiniC. l"CH limCM' Ullt-n i might give against Hermann either in the trial at Washington or in the trial now under way. "And what Is more," said the wit ness on leaving the stand, "I served all oi my sentence, too." "eiuiann Gun,, or ,,,,., for PORTLAND, Or.. Jan. 27. Doug las county Is for Dinger Hermann fin Congress or for any other place the people or that district can persuade him to seek in public life. The prosecution of Mr. Hermann by F. J. Heney, or even a conviction hi the pending case, will have no Inlluence upon this faith in the honesty and purity of Dinger Hermann's public career. Such- Is the rousing declaration made by the band or 2S Douglas county business and professional men who reached Portland this morning. With this aggregation or enthusiasts and friends, Hermann must be returned to Congress. M'l. l. 1.. i " i"-Lin:i lie is cuiiwcictl or HI!- quitted these men announce thai I they will re-elect him to Congress If he will consen to run will, t he greatest majority ever given a candl- date lu that district. And this course is urged now, and will be in-1 sisttnl upon, to show the world that tho people who live by Hinder Her- inanu, who huve known- him for years, have implicit faith in his in tegrity. Speakinp for himself and his asso- clates, J. W. Perkins made the fol lowing announcement of the pur poses of the trip, and tho sentiment of Dentins county. "Uoseburg and Douglas county ap preciate the excellent services and great work that liinger Hermann has done. not. only for Koscburg, Doug las county and Southern Oregon, hut for Oregon as a state. It is merely a matter of consulting the records to find that there never was a member of Congress who achieved greater re sults for his people. His long term of service in Congress, and knowl edge of detail nud methods of pro cedure there, taken with his peculiar personal make-up. render him with out question tho logical man to till the position of member of Congress from our district. There is where be belongs, and wo propose to send him there. AlVeclioil Chief Consideration. "Mut even greater than this eon- sidi ration of his work is the friend ship and personal affection that we ill have for Mr. Hermann. Only those who know him personally, as we do, can appreciate the full force of this remark. Seldom in a life time does a man meet another who is an inherent gentleman, without affectation, natural and sincere, sueb as Mr. Hermann. We know that he is absolutely Innocent of the charges against him. We feel that our knowledge of him for the years past puts us in a position to make this declaration of our Hontiinent, regard less of any other development that nuiy bo suspected by others. "There is not a dishonest, disloyal or off-colored drop of blood In Mr. Hermann's body. We made np tills special oar to come to Portland for the purpose of showing by our presence, in this hour of derp trouble for Mr. Hermann, that Uoseburg. Douglas County, and in fact South-1 ern Oregon, to a man. regardless of political affiliations, are with him. believe In him. and know that he is absolutely Innocent. "We say further, that If Dinger Hermann will consent to run again for Conirress. we will send him to Washington by the greatest majority that, ever yas given a candidate in that part oi the state. The people of that county, to a man. feel that wav toward Mr. Hermann, and they further feel that, the (Jovernment. has done Mr. Hermann an injustice by holding this cloud over his head for five years, thereby injuring bis health and career, to say nothing of the great financial expense to which lie has been subjeeted."
