At the trial of the case In the Circuit Court last May the jury found for the defendant, who was installing the ladder tinder a contract with the state. None for" State Und to Issued for a Month, Be AWAIT GRAND JURY'S CLOSE Land Board Decides That No Applica tions ' Will Be Considered Until Investigations Into Alleged Fraud Are Concluded. SALEM. Or.. April 12. (Special.) The State Land Board today made a sweep ing order directing that no more deeds for state lands be issued until the Marion County grand jury has concluded its in vestigation. Applications for deeds now n hand are held up. and It will be use less for holders of certificates of sale of state lands to present their papers and ask for deeds pending the session of the grand jury. The Board also received the opinion of Attorney-General Crawford, in which he advises that the Board has power to cancel certificates of sale of lands where Xraud is shown, but the Attorney-General liolds that this power cannot be exercised Arbitrarily. The Board must give the bolder of the certificate of sale notice of its proceeding against him so that he way have an opportunity to appear and show cause why his certificate should not be cancelled. ' This opinion was rendered in answer to a request frqm the Governor after State Land Agent West charged that many cer tificates of sale have been Issued on fraudulent applications. How many purchasers of state land will be affected by the order of the Board suppcndlng the issuance of deed? is un known. There are thousands of certifi cates of sale outstanding, but many of these have not yet matured, and since the final Installment of the purchase price Is not due, would not bo presented for Fame time yet The usual course is that when the final Installment becomes due, the purchaser presents his certificate of sale, -pays the balance and receives a deed. As the grand jury is likely to be in session a month, it Is quite certain that no deeds will be Issued in that time. What course the Board will pursue after that time will depend in a large degree upon the findings of the grand jury. The State Board also had under con sideration today the application of J. K. Sears to purchase land already sold to Fred Palmer. An effort was mad" by Governor Chamberlain to have the Board proceed to investigate Sears' charge of fraud, but after consideration, the Board decided to refer the whole matter to the Attorney-General for advice. The Board has decided that in case sales aro cancelled for fraud, no prefer ence right to purchase the land will be given the contestant. Th plan of the Board is that when a sale has been de clared void, the land shall be sold to the highest bidder after 'being' duly advertised. CHAPMAN WILL NOT GO THERE Noted Evangelist Sends Another Re vivalist to Beilingham. "BJ3LLLNGHAM, "Wash., April 12. (Special.) That religion is not so free as generally advertised, has been dem onstrated in the refusal of Dr. Chap man, the celebrated evangelist, to come to Bellingham for less than 15000. Tne ministers longed to have the noted worker try his skill at recruit ing the ranks of Zion in Bellingham. The association studied the problem, and found that $5000 would be required to close the deal for the performance. So. like Lot of old, the ministers be stirred themselves and sought to find enough righteous persons in the city who would lend their support, finan cially, to the movement. But like tho ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, in which Lot tried to work up religious enthusiasm, Bellingham failed to re spond to the call to the extent desired The outcome of the effort is that an cmlssarv of Dr. Chanman has been sent to this cUy. This man is a lower-priced worker, but the ministers feel that they have got the worth of their money. PLACE STATE COIN SAFELY New Idaho Board Is Selecting Banks and Depositories.

ALL FOLLOW THE LEAD Land-Fraud Defendants File Pleas of Abatement. It has become fashionable in land ffuad society to file picas of abatement, and yesterday morning C. A. Watson, George D. Barnard and Clarence B. Zachary fol lowed the lead of Senator Mitchell and the rest by depositing such documents with the clerk of the Federal Court. Mr. Watson was Indlclctf at the first session of the grand jury for conspiracy In con nection with the Butte Creek land case, and under this charge asked and was given until Friday next to file his plea. The other pleas were filed under the sep arate perjury Indictments returned by the jury on Saturday last. All of the abate ment proceedings will hinge on the result of the decision upon the Mitchell plea, which will be argued on Friday morning. If the defense In this case should be able to show cause why the plea should be granted and the indictments quashed as prayed, then the pleas filed by the de rendants in other cases, being practically identical, would share in the decision and all Indictments returned by the Jury would be null and void. The. question will be decided on Friday morning by argument between , F. J. Heney. for the Govern ment, and A. S. Bennett, for the defense. J. II. Booth appeared yesterday morning and arranged his bonds of JiOOO in the two indictments returned against him Other defendants arc being notified to appear and give bonds and it is expected that all will give sureties by the end of the week. H. L. SIsler, of Seattle, who was indict ed with W. N. Jones for complicity in the Siletz reservation land frauds., will be dismissed upon motion of Mr. Hcney.

Sisler is a well-known man in Portland, hav ing been city agtnt of the Chicago. St Paul, MlnneapolIs'& Omaha Railroad for several years, but recently having been transferred to Seattle upon the consollda tlon of the offices of his company with those of the Chicago & Northwestern. Mr. Heney is a very busy man since the adjournment of the grand jury, the ces sat Ion of the Investigations not having changed the amount of work to be done by him. He Is now preparing the outline of his prosecution and it setting out tho points to be made, not only by the prose cution, but those anticipated on the part of the defense. In the Puter-AVataon trial the District Attorney had every ob jection made by tho defense noted and citations in rebuttal selected long before they were presented to tho court, and it Is very likely that he will conduct his cases along similar lines in the trials to come. From the end of the present week thorn will be a lull In land-fraud circles until after the Federal Court lias been moved Into the permanent quarters at the Fed eral building on Fifth and Morrleon streets. Mr. Heney will leave for San Francisco the first of the coming week and will not return until a very short time before the date set for the first case to be called.

Ono of the most unusual actions evpr In stituted In 'She District Court of Shoshone County is a. libel suit commenced today TRY KRIBS CHARGE FIRST Government Opposes Mitchell's De sire As to Order of Cases. OREGONLVN KEWS BUREAU. Wash" ington. April 12. According to officials of the Interior Department, the Government will endeavor to thwart Senator Mitchell's plan of being first tried on the indictment for accepting J2000 from S. A. D. Puter. The Dlstrjct Attorney will, it is believed, make every effort first to call Mitchell on the charge of accepting money from Frederick A. JKrlbs for advancing his cases In the Land Office. This Is by far the strongest case against Mitchell, ac cording to the officials.- There is every confidence that. If this case is tried first, the finding will be for the Government, and, if Senator Mitchell shall be convict ed on that Indictment, It Is thought there will be more chance of convicting him on other Indictments than would be the case should his first trial result In acquittal. It Is said that the indictment bsed on Puter's testimony la not strong, and the Government officials are said to be very apprehensive that this case will be decided against them If it is first brought Into court. Speaking of Mitchell's pleadings yesterday, an official thoroughly familiar with the Oregon land frauds said today: "Senator Mitchell gives to the country the impression that he is afraid of one in dictment, but not of the other. He takes takes refuge behind alleged Irregularities In his Indictment to postpone trial in one instance, but waives aside these safne Irregularities and seeks early trial on an other. Senator Mitchell Is, of course, act ing entirely within his rights, but the im pression he has given out reflects no credit upon "himself."
