DEFIANCE TO HIS MALIGNERS Detailed Answer t Charges Made Againct the Honecty and Goed Faith of Representative From . the First District. ' OREGON CITY, Or,, May 31. Special.) Colonel Veatch and others of Represent ative Hermann's detainers should have at tended the Republican rally at Shlvely's Hall tonight and heard their accusations shattered. The hall was packed by an enthusiastic, responsive audience that listened attentively to Mr. Hermann's convincing denunciation of his accusers. Hepresentative Hermann was introduced by Senator George C Brownell. who pre sided as chairman of the meeting. Preliminary to presenting Mr. Hermann, Senator Brownell commented on the Im portance of achieving an unprecedented Republican victory in Oregon at Monday's election for the moral and political In fluence that would be exerted throughout the country on the Presidential election In November. After briefly commending the candidates on the Republican county and legislative tickets Chairman Brownell presented Mr. Hermann as a man "em bodying the highest Ideals of genuine Re publicanism." "When tho ovation subsided Mr. Hermann pledged his auditors his aid In accom plishing tho Improvement of the Wil lamette River as essential to local pros perity and mentioned, the probability of securing for Oregon City a. public build, ing. Referring to the June election and the significance of the result, Mr. Her mann said that as the state decides la June so will be an Indication of the re sult In November. A majority of 20,000 for the Republican ticket In June, ho continued, will exert a greater moral effect than 40,000 majority In November. This obligation Is owing President Roosevelt by the people of Oregon for the Interest he has taken In the Lewis and Clark Fair, and as an expression of the appreciation -ot his services In dissolving trusts, arbitrating labor difficulties, ac complishing favorable Isthmian Canal ne gotiations, for his tariff and financial policies and an advocacy of Governmental tld of roadways, Reverting to attacks "being made on him self Mr. Hermann denounced as lying, un lerupulous, scurrilous and defamatory the publication that Is circulating charges. He defied his m aligners, whom he termed liars, detainers and villainous cowards. Taking in turn eaeh of the charges thaH have been preferred against mm, air. Hermann showed the utter fallacy ot each and every one of the accusations which arc based on the misconstruction of statutes and deliberate misstatement ol iciual facts as they exist and are cor. roborated by records. Mr, Hermann convincingly explained by quoting statutes that his filing on the land at the Roseburg Land Office was en tirely regular and said this act was not questioned until about IS months ago. He showed that his filings were regularly confirmed by the Commissioned of the General Land Office and that the con struction of tne law with reference there-- to was not even modified until 18 yearn later. Equally satisfactory disposition was made of other charges and In refuting the claim that he is appropriating to himself money saved from clerk hire Mr. Her mann denounced the charge as utterly false and stated that on the contrary he Is employing three clerks and expending for clerical aid more than the; Govern ment allows him. Mr. Hermann stated that patents al leged by his enemies to have been Issued In 13 days were actually In the General Land Office from June to NovemDer, as shown by the records. Having thoroughly vindicated himself of the charges Mr. Hermann invited the auditors to ask any questions, but there were none made. In concluding Mr. Hermann discussed Na tional politics, revealing tho growth and prosperity of tho country under the ad ministration of Republican policies. The mention of McKlnley and Roosevelt found a responsive chord in the audience which cave enthusiastic applause. Music was furnished by the Oregon City Band and the Maccabee Quartet, the sing ers being repeatedly recalled. At the close of the Hermann rally to night a Roosevelt Republican Club with 150 charter members was organized. Cap tain M. D. Phillips was elected president and TV. A. Dlmlck secretary.

OLTMPIA, Wash., May 3L (Special.) The Supreme Court today reversed the judgment In the case where the executors of the estate of.Abble H. H. Stuart, of Olympla, are contesting the collection of an additional tax assessed against Mrs. Stuart's personal property after her death. In April, 2301, Mrs. Stuart submitted as the total amount of her personal prop erty the sum of 1-075, and the property was assessed on that basis. Mrs. Stuart died subsequently thereto. and it was reported that the executors had found personal property. Including cash, to a value greatly in excess of that amount. In 1S02, the Board of Equaliza tion ordered the Assessor to correct the rolls for 1901, placing the value of the personal property at 925,746 but not item izing a list of the same. The executors Insist that the property subject to taxation in the excess of the amount submitted by Mrs. Stuart herself was only JSS14, and an action was brought to enjoin the county from enforcing the total amount assessed. A demurrer to the complaint was sustained and the causa dismissed. The Supreme Court holds that it was within the power of the Assessor to cor rect the rolls for 1S0L but that the court had jurisdiction to review the acts of the Assessor to determine whether or not the taxes had been assessed fraudulently or excessively. The complaint stated a cause of action and the cause should have pro ceeded to trial The case is remanded for further proceedings. SUGAR PLANT FOR CALDWELL.
