The battle Is on! All of the prelimi
naries have boen arranged, the captains
have been chosen, the battle ground is
waiting1 and now the days are to be sot.
The Federal grand Jury has finished Its
memorable session and each member has
passed to his home 'Where in the yCars to
come he "will point to his certificate of
discharge and tell wondering grandchil
dren that he was one of those vho helped
Francis J. Heney and President Roose
velt cleanse Oregon of its timber thieves,
but because this body of men has ceased
its efforts, so disquieting to many resi
dents of the state, it does not follow that
peace and disquiet Is to settle over the
Federal building or that Judge Bellinger
Is to have a "well-earned vacation. The
opposite is the case.
The center of the conflict is now simply
changed from the second floor of the
Federal building to the third, where the
court sits, and already the first indica
tions of the great legal struggle that Is
to convulse Oregon and cause wonder
ment throughout the United States dur
ing the long Summer are beginning to
show on the surface.
Serves Notice on Mitchell.
United States District Attorney Heney
has issued notice to Senator Mitchell
to appear before Judge Bellinger this
morning at 10 o clock for his arraign
ment, and the Senator has announced
that he is willing, anxious and eager to
begin the fight, fierce and implacable,
which he alleges will result In the rout
ing of his foes and the establishment of
his Innocence before the world. Owing,
liowevor, to the absence of Judge Bel
linger from the city today, this arraign
ment will have to be postponed for a
day and word has been sent to the senior
Senator to appear on Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock Instead, at which time he will
have an opportunity to take the first
steps in his defense.
Senator Mitchell -will be arraigned on
Tuesday upon the indictment returned
against him on February 1, In which he
is charged separately and alone with
having violated section 17S2 of the re
vised statutes of the United States In
having received compensation for his
services, while United States Senator, be
fore a department of the United States
Government. This Is the case in which
it is alleged that Senator Mitchell used
his influence in passing to patent several
claims which had been held up In the
General Land Office for investigation.
which claims were the property, or were
to be, of Frederick A. Kribs, who had
retained the firm of Mitchell & Tanner
to represent him in securing the patenting
of his lands. It Is alleged In the Indict
ment that tho firm of Mitchell & Tanner
received the sum of $1750 for passing these
claims to patent, exclusive of other sums
which wore paid for different services.
Case Is Sensational.
This case Ls tho one the Investigation of
which caused the Indictment of Judge A.
H. Tanner for perjury, caused, the sensa
tional confession of Tanner to save his
son from indictment, cost Harry C. Rob
ertson his Job as confidential secretary to
Mitchell, and marked the climax of the
land fraud investigations. The course of.
senator jmtcneu in nis aerense, what he
intends to do, what motions to make
and "what attorneys to employ are mat
ters of great interest not only to the
Government officials, but to the general
public as -well, but the aged Senator will
not satisfy any one on any point of de
sire.
During the weeks since his return to
Portland from his last sojourn at Wash
ington, he has remained silently in his
rooms at the Francis, whore he has ap
plied himself to the outlining of his de
fense. No one, -with the exception of his
attorneys, whoever they may be, has
been taken into his confidence, no one
has been told of his plans. Various
rumors have arisen as to this man and
that -who -was to assist in tho trial of tho
Senator's case, but no confirmation could
be gained, or no denial elicited.
"I have nothing whatever to say, ex
cept that I am innocent. I will not be in
terviewed. The press of tho country has
attempted to prejudice my case before
the people and I -will not talk." These
and kindred speeches of bitterness have
been the only statement to be drawn
from the distinguished defendant in an
swer to all questions of whatever na
ture.
Defense May Be Technical.
The opinion current, however, ls that
the defense of the Senator will bo in a
large measure technical. From a care
ful canvass of the situation 1t is not
thought that there are many witnesses
who could be brought to serve him In
this his time of need. Judge Tanner has
stated the history of the contract entered
into between himself and the Senator; he
has told of the changes made to the docu
ment during the visit of his partner in
December last. This testimony -has
been corroborated by A. H. Tanner, Jr.
The evidence of tho stenographers, of
Harry Robertson, of the Blake-McFall
Paper Company, of the typewriter agency
which sold the black ribbon -with -which
the new-old contract -was -written, all has
corroborated the statements of the other
two. -while tho books of the bank, the
checks paid to the firm by Kribs and the
subsequent division noted at the end of
each month have pointed to the fulfill
ment of the original agreement.
Trial May Be Long One. '
In the face of this array of Govern
ment, evidence and testimony It ls
thought, therefore, that the defense will
be of a legal nature, one based on techni
cality, and delayed by motion and de
murrer. If this is so the trial will. In
all probability, be tedious and long
drawn out, extending through the Sum
mer. This assumption Is supported by tho
motion which it Is rumored will be offered
in the case of Henry Ford at the
opening of the court "today. The motion
will be one in abatement, based on the
teohnlcal grounds of the legality of the
grand Jury, and asking that the Indict
ments be quashed, for the alleged reasoi
that John Guistin ls an unnaturalized
citizen of the United States and that
there are other members of the Jury
not on the tax list. This is thought to
bo the first gun of the Mitchell defense.

"Wlllinmson will'" appear in Portland to
have his arraignment before Judge Bel
linger on the indictment returned against
him February 11. This is the indictment
In which it Is alleged that Williamson,
Dr. Van Gesner and Marlon R. Biggs,
suborned various persons In their employ
to commit perjury by swearing falsely
to applications and filing affidavits on
claims -wanted by the defendants in the
vicinity of Prineville. The indictment
alleges briefly that "Williamson et al se1
cured persons to file on lands with the
understanding that the claims were to
revert to them upon the issuance of pat
ent. Intentions Are Unknown.
The movements of Mr. Williamson and
of his co-defendants are also unknown as
no intimation has been given of their in
tended course of action. It is thought,
however, that Judge A. S. Bennett and
II. S. Wilson, of The Dalles, will assist
in the defense of this case.

Monday. April 24.
Mr. Hermann has wired that he will
start for Portland on. Tuesday and -will
reach the city on Saturday next.
The indictment under which these de
fendants will be arraigned is the one re
turned on January 31. in which a con
spiracy Is alleged to defraud the Govern
ment of lands by means of false and
fictitious affidavits. Senator Mitchell is
accused of having used his influence with
the Land Office to secure the imssage of
various claims to patent, while Hermann
is alleged to have passed the lands in his
official . capacity as Commissioner of the
General Land Office.
The dates of trial will perhaps be set
by the court as each of the arraignments
Is held.
During the week Mr. Heney will cause
all of the cases returned by the grand
Jury to bo called for arraignment and
will have the cases set for trial. After
the arraignment of Mr. Hermann he will
leave for San Francisco where he will
pick up the scattered ends of his private
business until such time as the first case,
which in all probability will be the
Mitchell trial, calls him back to Portland.
FULTON DEFENDS HIS ACTION
Admits " Writing Letters, but Can't
Investigate Every Claim.
ASTORIA, Or.. April 9. (Special. )-Sen-ator
Fulton, when asked this evening by
The Oregonlan correspondent regarding
the letters published In today'p paper, re
plied: "Yes. I have read the letters published
in The Oregonlan and accredited to me,
and I doubt not they are correct copies
of letters I wrote, but I do not see that
they call for any explanation. I have
written very many letters for citizens of
Oregon concerning matters pending bofore
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office. Commissioner of Pensions and
other departments. It may be that I have
been imposed upon at times. I make no
reference, of course, to any pending case,
but I can. easily see that It is possible I
have at times written letters In pupport
of claims which, if all the facts concern
ing them had beon known to me at the
time, I could not have indorsed.
"But what shall I do? Shall I refupe to
assist any person? I cannot make distinc
tions: I must treat all alike: I must rep
resent none or represent all. Of course,
if I should have good reason to suppose
that a party was presenting a fraudulent
claim, it woujd be my duty to refuse to
assist him. But how can T know? I must
rely on his "word. I cannot go into an in
vestigation of every man's claim. That is
the duty of the several departments.
Hence it seems to Trie that I must act for
all or 'decline to act for any, and to do
the latter is out of the question.
"The fact Ip that the greater portion of
a Congressman's time Is taken up with
matters pending before the departments.
To be relieved of that work would be a
great relief to the member, but how would
it please his constituents? I have neither
explanation nor apology to offer for what
I have done."
Murderer Taken to Hospital.
John T. Coleman, the confessed mur
derer of Edna Hoffman, was removed yes

WILL DECIDE TODAY
Fate of Good Roads Conven
tion to Be Settled.
PORTLAND IS THE FAVORITES
Probable That National Convention
Will Meet in This City During
Exposition Thousands of Del
egates Are to Gather.
It will be decided today whether the
National Good Roads Convention will
tako place in Portland this Summer.
Within the power of W. H. Moore, pres
ident of the association, lies the say, and
he will meet with Governor Chamber
lain, President Goode, of the Exposition,
and a number of representative business
men today to learn what Pprtland Is
willing to do. The executive board of
the association ls inclined to favor some
city of the Middle West. In which to hold
the convention, but Mr. Moore would
prefer to have It here, If the necessary
monej; is forthcoming. When seen yes
terday he stated that 52500 would, in his
opinion, be sufficient.
But, National convention or not. there
will be a Good Roads Congress here from
June 14 to 17 and, according to the esti
mates of Mr. Moore, between 300$ and
S000 delegates will attend. If the Nation
al convention comes, that number will be
more than doubled.
To Be Decided Today.
Here In Oregon, where there Is mud
enough, but not the Missouri or Texas va
riety, the question of good roads has not
been of so paramount an Interest as else
where. But there Is need of it sufficient
to make the convention a great event. To
secure It Governor Chamberlain is to
make a special trip down from Salem,
and when Mr.' Moore leaves for the East
tonight he hopes to have announced that
Portland has the convention.
Mr. Moore, who has followed, this good
roads movement for 15 years and has de- 1
voted time and money to its growth, is
enthusiastic over Portland and the Fair,
and will bring the convention here if
possible. But if he does not, he will fur
nish a substitute which will unite the
West on this movement. Working with
the" aid of the railroads, as the good roads
movement has always done, there will
start from Chicago on May 3 one or two
trains. One is certain, that over the
Burlington and Northern Pacific, which
will make 40 stops and will organize every
county and overy township of the states
It passes through. A car filled with speci
men varieties of roads will be the chief
exhibit and there will accompany the
train a number of road engineers who
will stop and give lessons in road-build-ing.
Beside that, the states will be or
ganized Into general and sectional good
road associations, and though the meth
ods will be hurried, they, will be com
plete. At each stop particular attention
will be called to the fact that there will
be a Good Roads Convention in Portland,
and a system will be Inaugurated by
which every hamlet will have its repre
sentative appointed to attend. By this
means not only the convention, but the
Fair as well, will be 'advertised. All the
country and every state between here
and Chicago will be set to work aiding
tho movement. (
Movement Is Universal.'
"This good roads movement." says Mr.
Moore, who 1s an ardent enthuslnst on
the subject, "is going to be the most uni
versal of any that has ever seized the
country. There is not today over 3000
miles of regular macadamized road in the
country, outside of cities and towns, and
In the great part of tho country the far
mers are stuck In the mud for four
months out of the year. The three groat
civlllzers I consider the newspapers, the
railways and the roads. TJhe shrewdest
class of men we have manage the first
two, but any one or no one looks, after
the last. But the Nation is now being
arousod to (he necessity of making travel
easier in the country and the good roads
movement has in consequence grown won

to women. While the city ia being cleaned
ciation has carried on its kork. This ls
particularly so of Texas, as you will see
by the number of delegates that will
come from that state to the convention
here. They are stuck in the mud down
there and they have finally awakened to
the fact.
"We have the support of the railroads,
for, as the biggest railroad men have
told me, under present conditions they
are practically cut off from carrying
freight into or from the country during
one-third of the year, and this means an
enormous waste of energy to them. If
they could divide up the work of gather
ing and distributing freight, through the
12 months, it would mean an equal les
sening in the running- expenses.
State Governors Interested.
"Forty Governors of the United States
are now vice-presidents of the National
Good Roads Association, and active work
ers In the cause. I speak of it as a cause,
for it Is one. It is the cause of civiliza
tion and the general betterment of the
human race. To my thinking, it is one of
the greatest causes of the time, and I
seem to have plenty of followers In that
belief.
"It Is a cause which is now beginning
to boar the fruit of the energy expended
in Its behalf. For that reason I can
safely predict that the Good Roads Con
vention will be by far the biggest and
most generally attended convention which
will be held here during the Fair."
He Favors Portland.
Mr. Moore spoke constantly as if he
had not much doubt that Portland would
get the convention, though he was not
ready to state so yet. His language im
plied this, and there is no doubt that he
will throw his influence to see It come
here. If the necessary requirements in the
way of entertainment fund are pledged.
The good roads movement ls a thor
oughly organized system, as complete In
its operations as a political party's ma
chinery. States enrolled upon the Nation
nl register are furnished a plan on which
to work, which will make the cause as
wide as the boundaries of that state. An
example of this ls the method of appoint
ment of delegates to the convention." The
Governor appoints from each county, the
Mayor from each city, the commercial
organizations from each body, the County
Judges from the smaller districts, the
railroads from their officials, the colleges
and universities from among their facul
ties and the Federation of Women's
Clubs from their organizations. In that
manner the whole state is reached and
all kinds and classes of people are
brought into the movement
At the Portland convention, whether It
be National or local, Secretary Wilson
and Secretary Shaw, of the President's
Cabinet, will be present. At St.' Louis
last Summer President Roosevelt ad
dressed the convention, the only one
which he attended there. Behind this
National association there are active.
hard-working men and they are doing
their best to see every Good Roads Con
vention hold, a complete success.
SUNDAY CROWD AT THE FAIR
American Inn and the Trail Cause of
Much Comment.
The usual Sunday crowd paid over its
10-cent pieces at the gate and walked
about the Fair grounds yesterday. Thoy
spent their time chiefly about the Trail
and over by the American Inn. which is
now assuming Its shape. The proportions
of this and Its method of structure, to
hold as many, people as possible with
safety in a certain ground space, occa
sioned a good deal of comment. For, an
amphibious- structure, on piles like a fish
ing village In the South Sea Islands, the
genoral opinion was that it will grace the
Fair.
The crowd itself was of course as much
! a pointy of interest as the things- they
looked at. and this Sunday they were
noticeably out in their new clothes.

No Effect.
MATTER" IS; INVESTIGATED
District Attorney Heney Finds That
Juror Guistin Is a Naturalized
Citizen-Supreme Court Holds
Indictment Valid.
The Indictments returned by the lnte
Federal grand jury will not be quashed
and the motion of abatement about to be
filed by Attorney Charles F. Lord in Uia
case of Henry P. Ford will fall of effect.
Such Is the statement of United States
Attorney Heney, who ls backed by a re
cent decision of the Supreme Court of
Oregon, and Mr. Heney has shown since
his arrival in .this city that he has an
apt way of quoting citations, much to
the discouragement of those opposing
him.
But It Is not the Supreme Court alone
that is behind Mr. Heney and the work
ot bis Jury, for the added fact remains
that all of the Jurors were qualified, Irre
spective of any ruling by the bupreme
Court, and therefore the about-to-be mo
tion has no legs to stand upon in law or
In fact.
The announcement that the legality of
the grand jury's acts was about to De
questioned caused a. great deal of specu
lation -and surmise throughout the city
yesterday. If. as contended by Mr. Lord.
John Guistin was a citizen of Austria and
not of the United States, If several other
members of the jury were not on the tax
list, and if these things invalidated the
acts of the erand iurv. It would mean a
long delay and the useless waste of thou
sands of dollars spent by the Govern
ment. But this ls not to be, so the Gov
ernment officials say.
Guistin Is a' Citizen.
Tn thft first nlace. it is claimed that
John Guistin ls a citizen of the United
States. He came to San Francisco from
Austria with his parents In 1S74. Twenty
three years ago, or about that time, ne
made his first application for naturaiiza
tion In the courts of San Francisco. In
due course of time he received his final
papers from the Circuit Court at Astoria
having moved to that place in the mean
time.
Guistin later came to Multnomah Coun
ty and squatted on a tract of land on the
East Side, the ownership of, which was
afterwards contested and Is now pending
before the Supreme- Court. During the
trduble over this land Guistin sent nis
citizenship papers to the General Land
Office at Washington and they have never
been returned.
Prior to this time, however, Guistin de
sired to visit his old home in Austria and
In 18S2 secured an application for a pass
port from the Secretary of State.
Has Qualified as Voter.
When wishing to register, and not hav-
lmr the citizenship papers, which are bur
led some place in the General Land urace.
Guistin produced his application for
nassnort era n ted bv the Secretary of
State, which ls prima facie evidence of
his citizenship, and upon its strength was
allowed to qualify as a voter. This his
tory quiets the contention of nonqualifi
cation as a iuror as far as Guistin is
concerned.
As to the qualifications of the other
jurors, It Is stated by Mr. Heney that he
had heard rumors to the offect that the
Jurors were not all qualified, and he there
fore made an investigation. He took the
statutes and asked each one all of the
Questions provided for. and in every in
stance the men testified to qualification.
But if this had not been so it is con
tended by Mr. Heney that a recent ruling
of the Oregon Supreme Court would have
still held the acts ot the jury to be valid.
It Is ruled by the Supreme Court, In sub
stance, that whenever a court swears and
empanels a jury, whether trial or grand.
It by that act bars further proceedings
against the qualifications of the members
and the subsequent impeachment of its
verdict. In other words, the ompanel
ment seals the qualification of the mem
bers. Motion Will Fail.
If this ruling did not exist, however, it
is contended by the Government that a
motion Of abatement would not prevail,
for it would be necessary- to show that a
majority of the jOnors ' qualified did not
vote for indictment. . in the grand jury
it is -required that 16 affirmative votes are
necessary to indict- There are 23 mem
bers of the jury. It would therefore be
necessary for the petitioners in abate
ment to show that some of these Iff wero
disqualified or that there were not enough
affirmative votes without the unqualified
juror to indict. ,
It Is stated that after the Carl Phelps
ep.oae. In which Phelps, who was the
secretary of the grand jury, became drunk
and was dismissed from further service,
all of the Indictments returned prior to
that time were voted over again. In each
case additional evidence was Introduced
and on the second vote the jury was in
all cases unanimous, as it was simply a
matter of formality. It would therefore
be necessary to show seven unqualified
jurors to invalidate the Indictments.
For all of these reasons It Is argued
that there Is no danger of the indictments
being quashed by Judge Bellinger or that
the many trials will not be taken up in
order as scheduled by the court.
MR. LORD TAKES EXCEPTIONS
Attorney Says Francis J. Heney Has
Made Serious Mistake.
Upon being questioned last evening con
cerning the statement of Mr. Heney re
garding the validity of the Indictments
returned by the Federal grand Jury.
Charles F. Lord, who. as attorney for one
of the defendants, has raised objection
thereto, stated:
"Since it appears that Mr. Heney exam
ined the grand jurors, according to his
own statement, if it is not a legal body
the fault Is his alone. He states that he
does "not think therefore that there Is
ground for such motion." If he paid
more attention to the study of the law
as announced by the Circuit Court of the
United States, and less to oxploltlng his
own personal attainments, this error
might not have occurred. Every' lawyer
knows that no court can Inquire Into the
question ot which particular grand juror
voted for a particular Indictment, and
even- if a record of the vote as given
should be kept, the sanctity of their pro
ceedings would be held Inviolate by the
court. It Is too absurd for anyone to
seriously consider that an indictment
would be valid unless the defendants
should show "that there were not 12 votes
to indict -without .the vote ol the unquall-
fled man." For how can it be determined
whether or not the unqualified man or
men were not included within the 12 vot
ing to Indict, and the Federal Courts have
in a long line of decisions held to the rule.
Now, as to Mr. Guistlanovitch, a mem
ber of the recent grand jury. Ho was
born in Star! Grad, Austria, about 50
years ago, and came to Portland In 1ST6,
where he has since resided. His parents,
according to the statements of their
neighbors In the old country now resi
dents of Portland continued to reside
there, arifl have never visited this coun
try. If Mr. Guistlanovitch was natural
ized, at Astoria, he can easily establish his
right to sit as a grand Juror, but no pass
port, even. It Issued by the Secretary of
the United States, can alone justify him
In passing "Upon the liberty and honor of
an American citizen.
"I should seriously regret doing Mr.
Guistlanovitch an injustice by making
this claim In behalf of my client, but the
gentleman from California must furnish
more than an Interview In & newspaper
to keep his Indictments which are other
wise defective, in court."
NO HOPE OF TARIFF REVISION
Hansbrough Says Rate Legislation
Will Occupy Next Session.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 9. Senator Hansbrough, of
North Dakota, a strong advocate -of a re
adjustment of the tariff, believes that the
chance of tariff revision has passed and
that nothing will be done In the immedi
ate future looking to a readjustment of
the Diugley rates to meet changing con
ditions. While Mr. Hansbrough is a
strong protectionist, he believes the ex
isting tariff should be readjusted, but he
has come to the conclusion that the stand
patters have convinced tho President that
no" revision Is necessary.
He thinks the postponement of the ex
tra session until October 15 put an end to
all chance of tariff revision. It Is his
opinion, and the view Is shared by many
other men In Washington, that a session
called to meet October 15 for the purpose
of passing a railroad rate bill will not find
opportunity to consider another such
weighty topic as the tariff. He declares,
that Congress will consume the time
from October 15 to December 1 in organiz
ing committees and getting ready for ac
tual work. He furthermore believes that
tne two or three weeks preceding tho
holiday recess will be wasted on some
pretext or other, and that Congress will
not get down to business before the sec
ond week In January. In his opinion It
will be easy enough to drag out the dis
cussion ot the railroad rate bill through
the entire long session, leaving no time
for a consideration of a tariff bill. This
being the situation, as he see3 It. Mr.
Hansbrough' has abandoned all hope of
having the tariff revised.

ot nerves is ailing. Xot the voluntary nerves
that enable you to walk and talk and act but
the automatic stomach nerves -over which, jour
mind has no control.
I have not room here to explain how these
tender, tiny nervea control and operate the
stomach. How worry breaks them down and
eausfw Indigestion. How misuse wears them
out and causes dyspepsia. How neglect may
brlng on kidney, heart and other troubles
through sympathy. 1 have not room to explain
how theee nerves may be reached and strength
ened and vitalized and made well by a remedy

remedy, by removing the cause, puts a certain
end to indigestion, belching, heartburn, insom
