It was intimated that w,tte a controversy concerning some ruled that the Government possesses the same right to sue for a cancella tion of patent that belongs to an In dividual to sue for the cancellation of a deed obtained through fraudu lent representations. Important Point Cloud)'. One of the most important ' points, that of tbe intervention or tbe stat ute or limitations on bchair of the Linn & Lane Timber Company, Judge Hean expressed some doubt as to his legal conclusions, hut none as to the common sense of the decision. He pointed out that Charles A. Smith, his wife and son, were in fact the Linn & Lane Timber Company, being Ihe owners of the stock, with the ex ception of a few shares. Smith and his wife had transferred the Linn and Lane county timber to the Linn & Lane Timber Company as a hold ing concern, and ln keeping the deeds from record in this state suc ceeded ln preventing the Govern ment from ascertaining who the real owners of title were. The court held that in this case the Linn & Lane Company occupied the same position as an individual, that it was charged with the knowl edge of fraud possessed by Smith, its president. The conspiracy was begun by Puter and McKlnley in 1900, and patents were obtained in 1903. The suit to cancel was brought in 1908. United Stales Attorney McCourt and Walter It. Evans handled tbe case for the Government, while the defendants were represented by John Llnd and lohn Ueland, of Minneapolis, John Gearln, A. H. Tanner, W. W. Hanks ind L. H. Tarpley. the meeting would be adjourned un til Flint reaches Chicago. Chicago Packers Indicted. CHICAGO, Sept. 13. Mittimusses for the arrest of officials of the pack ing houses indicted here yesterday were issued today by Judge Landis. The packers, it is expected, will he brought Into court today with their bondsmen. The trial promises to be one of Ihe most sensational and hard fought of tho Government's trust- bunting campaign. Each defendant faces a term in the penitentiary if found guilty, or a line of $35,000. or both. Ten leading packers were indicted.

Judge llean overruled the three principal points or defense set up by Smith, which were: That Smith was an innocent purchaser of the land, as was the Lane & Linn Timber Com panv. which received lis title from Smith; that when the Secretary of the Interior directed patents to Se Issued, the patent and order cured all defects In proceedings and stopped the Government from an attempt to recover the lands; that suit was bar red because of the Intervention or the statute of limitations, suit not having been commenced against the Linn & Lane Timber Company until after six years from the date the patents were signed. In disposing of the derense. Judge Hean ruled that the admission by Smith that Frederick A. Krlbs, of Portland, was his agent In the ac quirement of the lands, charged Smith with knowledge, me conn pointed out that Krlbs count not have escaped knowledge of the con spiracy wnliil I'uter aim Murine Klnley were engineering, ivnus saw the imitation locators go to the land office to prove up. Krlbs knew that Ihe locators had been shoved in ahead of the agents of the Northern Pacific Railroad whose cruisers were In the timber and who Intended to secure It through the use of script.

With the returns from yesterday's election practically complete a sweep- lug Democratic vlstory Is assured. Frederick Paisted, Democrat, is elected Governor over llert Fernnld, Republican, by a decisive majority. Democratic Congressmen were also elected 111 the first, second and third districts and tho rourih Is In doubt. The Democrats will also have a ma jority in the slate senate and prob ably In the House, thereby assuring Democratic successor to U. S. Sen ator Hale. Tbe newly elected Gov ernor Is a son of Harris M. Plaisted, who was the last Demicrailc Gover nor of Maine, 40 years ago. ll'DGF, M'GIXN SPEAKS HEIIK WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Judge Henry E. McGinn, the wide ly-known stump speaker who has been "eating them alive" in his re cent Portland campaign addresses, has been secured to make one of his stirring talks ln Roseburg and will appear here Wednesday night, Sept. 14, nt 8 o clock at the court house. Judge McGinn's theme will be the non-polltlcul judiciary and the as sembly movement.' He is a Btroug advocate or the elimination or poli tics from the Oregon Supreme Court, and as every reader of the Portland papers knows, the thought of nomi nations by assembly gives him in stant visions of corporation control and the return to the old-time ma chine methods of politics In Oregon. The agitation against the Repub lican assembly has been stale-wide and practically everyone is familiar with the arguments ror and against it. The proposition of the non- political judiciary, however, is less familiar to the voters, miefly. It Is to take and keep the Supreme Court of this state out of politics, electing the supreme justices without regard to the party to which they mny have belonged. The object, as it appears to a great majority of the lawyers of the statei Is to secure a court ab solutely uninfluenced by party con siderations or election obligations. The present Supreme Court Is such a one. It consists of F. A. Moore. Thomns A. McMride and Robert Eakln. Republicans, and Will R. King and Woodson T. Slater. Demo crats. Of these, there are four re tiring members Moore. McBrido, Slater and King. The Democrats have accepted Moore and McDrlde. the Republicans, as their nominees. The Republican voters are asked to accept King and Slater as their nominees, in turn, thus keeping the present Supreme Court Just as It Is, non-partisan.' The State Rar Association en dorsed this movement; so did tbe Multnomah County liar Association The former body appointed n com mlttee of nine lawyers, which ar ranged ror a state convention or lawverB In Portland. July 19. This convention went on record with the utmost earnestness as tavorlng no nolitirs In the Supreme Court, and the present campaign is a result. Judge McGinn will give all tne reasons why the Justices should be non-polltlcal.

I " " f PORTLAND, Mo., Sept. 13 There was no uncertainty In the voice with which Maine record"l her preference for Governor today. Tbe plurality given to Frederick M.

Earlv returns also indicate that the Legislature may bo Democratic and elect a Democrat as successor to United States Senator Hale. First Ifc'feat in 111 Years.
