Roosevelt is determined to have pres
sed to a conclusion the trials of tue
men and women recently indicted in
Oregon for land frauds and others
that may be indicted. I have jo t

a conference with the president on
this subjict," said Frauds J Heney,

gave me hi views in the matter and
I am going to oarry them ont so far
R8 I am able. No. matter how big the
lonaence 01 an tnaictta person may
bs he will be shown no ineroy. No
innocent man need have cauae for
fear Any man now holding a fedir
ai-otncein uregon who in any way
seeks to interfere with the trial of the
land fraud cases will reoeive no con
sideratlon from Mr Roosevelt. He h
determined to stamp out all graft und
grafters that are within bis official do
main.

of ibe land fraud matters hi W.oh

naa to aticuae lor the simple reason
that 1 cannot afford to negleol much

in the long course of years has re
ceived its deato blow, and tt will n
be aide to sav the guilty from their
