NEW STORY OF TANNER NOTE By Informing Government of Its Ex istence, He Caused Its Capture, and Earned His Reward ... Robertson . Not Dismissed. . OftEGONlAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash lngton. Feb. 21. Senator Mitchell Is not at all satisfied with District At torney Honey's plan to commence the trial of the land fraud cases In June. "Whan told' or this arrangement, the Senator today deolarcd that he would not. consent to such delay If he could help it, but would Insist upon being given a trial in April. He said he would be In Portland about Marcn 12 and intended imme diately to see Judge Bellinger and as certain whether 6r not it will be nec essary to postpone the trials until June. Ho does not believe there is any good and sufficient reason for delay and, unle8 ample reason is furnished, he will oppose the present plan. Senator Mitchell says that Mr. Heney some weeks ago publicly declared that he (Mitchell) should have a speedy trial, that there would be no unnecessary delay. If Mr. Heney deolincs to allow the case to be brought into court in April, Senator Mitchell says he -Rill bo breaking that promise. It is the Senator's opinion that Judge Bellinger will consent to gh'e hid case an early hearing. He has no idea how long the trial will continue, but Is apparently very confident that a verdict will be rendered in his favor. Harry -C. Robertson, Senator Mitchell's private secretary, whose testimony before the grand jury and before Judge Bellinger In Portland wa anything but favorable to Senator Mitch oil. has not lost his posi tion, as was anticipated, but lias resumed his duties at the Capitol. Senator Mitchell declines to say whether or not he intends to dismiss Mr. Robertson, but it appears that for -the present nothing will be done. In connection with Mitchell's letter to Tanner.dt develops that Max Pracht, who delivered the letter to Robertson, turned a sharp .trick to his own advantage. Pracht recently resigned as special agent of the Land Office and enmo to Washington necking, an appointment In some other department, but his closest friends, Mitchell and Hermann, were indicted and could not heip lilm. When Mitchell de cided to write Tanner, he did -not trust Robertson cither to write or to knowingly carry any word to his law partner, and had Pracht hand the fatal letter to Rob ertson to throw him oft the scent. Pracht was shrewd enough to surmise that the letter was important and on the quiet he Informed the secret service people of the Treasury that Robertson was carrying an important paper to Tanner. Pracht's tip led to the capture of this very important document in the Government's case, and a few days later Pracht was appointed special agent In the Treasury Department.

I wish every one or the great com pany of girls at homo this year, wait ing for their chance, or spending their first discouraged or buoyant days in New York City, might write these questions on the tablet of her heart, and answer them with honesty, and thereby know her exact equipment, to enter a struggle of which she knows nothing, and which consists of so much more than the dally bread. These are the questions: Is my repulsion for any form of the risque a real feeling and Instinct with me. or is it the result of breeding? Are my reserve and my self-respect sufficient to win for me the unpre surning and chivalrous manner which I have always been shown by men In my mother's drawing-room? Js wha't I call my tolerance-thV re sult of sober judgment and a broad look at life, or am I so proud or being tolerant that some of my attitudes towards what others do. and believe, border on looseness of vision? Have I the judgment and poise to recognize ugliness as ugliness when I see it. and not to let myself be taught that some ugliness is beauty in alien guise? Is 4t easy for mo to tell a lie.' It may be that I do not He often, but is it easy for mo to lie when convenient? f The pity is that a young woman usu ally does not know that the questions exist until experience has revealed each one to her. The pity of it is that when the wise one who has been through it all and knows tho truth when such a one tries to tell her how vital these questions are, there spring to the "would be teacher's lips only the old cant phrases which the. girl has heard from her childhood.
