"Captain Hartmann Charged
With -Violation of the Ahti
"Canleen Law.
ADJUTANT CHIEF WITNESS
Lieutenant Kent, of the Signal Corps,
Alleges Dereliction of Duty on
Encampment Last Year
at Atascadero.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash..
July 20. (Special.) Evidence submitted
the -first day o trial before a general
court-martial of Captain Carl F. Hart
mann, Signal Corps, U. S. A., on tha
charge o conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, reveals that an auto
mobile ride seems to have been the cause
of a difficulty that has engulfed In its
meshes numerous persons, already occa
sioning' imprisonment and desertion, and
that may lead to other charges being
filed.
Rarely in the annals of routine pro
ceedings of charges brought against offi
cers of the military establishment have
cases been dealt with in the Northwest
calculated to create greater interest
among officers of the Army and those
who mingle in social circles where the
officers Involved are Jfnown. The speci
fication to the charge resting against Cap
tain Hartmann is in effect a violation of
the canteen law, and more particularly
that he stated to Major "Wisscr that he
had no knowledge of the xalo of beer at
the canteen while at Camp Atascadero,
CaL, during 1904, knowing such statement
was falser
Eleven officers and the judge-ad vocate
compose the court-martial. Captain John
J. Bradley, Fourteenth Infantry, appear
ing as counsel for the accused officer
Captain Bradley throughout the proceed
ings of yesterday adhered to a declara
tion made to the court early in the pro
ceedings, when he had stated that no-attempt
would be made to raise technicali
ties, and every effort possible would be
made to arrive at the facts in the case
Falsification Js Charged.
Certain questions asked Captain Hart
mann. and the answers made, alleged to
have been false, reviewed in the specifica
tions, are said to form the whole basis of
the action. No denial will be made, ac
cording to Captain Bradley, that the an
swers, in part, at least, were given as
alleged, but it is proposed to prove that
the answers were not laise.
Lieutenant William A. Kent. Signal
Corps, was the only witness examined to
day. He testified that one day wmie ne
was sitting under the fly of Captain Hart
mann's tent. Lieutenant Goodale reported
and asked Captain Hartmann li he Knew
they had beer down at the canteen.
"I do not care how much beer they
have got, so long as they do not get
whisky, witness stated was tne cap
tain's reply.
Kentf further testified that thereafter
rT5HfttaIn Hartmann returned to Benlcla
Barracks and witness was left In com
mand of the camp. The same report was
made to him, and he put a stop to the
practice. The Sergeant-Major had been at
various times under the influence of
llauor. but the witness did not know
where the liquor had been obtained.
Beer Charged as Merchandise.
It was in answering questions of the
exchange council that Captain Hartmann
is alleged to have made representa
tions and this meeting was reviewed by
the witness. He declared that beer had
been charged for as merchandise; that
when asked as to the nature of the '
goods Captain Hartmann had replied that
it was for ginger ale and other soft
drinks. Enlisted men were called before
the council to prove that beer had been
sold, witness said, but all denied knowl
edge of it.
Cross-examination of the witness was
searching and thorough. It was proven
that the officers had their own beer on
the w-ay to camp. The defense also en
deavored to show that Captain Hartmann
had used every endeavor to prevent bring
ing of intoxicating liquors to quarters by
illsted men-
Near the close of the cross-examination
i ft waB brought out that an automobile
.whole trouble. An automobile' of the Slg
i Jnal Corps was used at the camp, and
captain narimann, naving cnarge 01 mia
as commandant, ordered the chauffeur
not to take the vehicle out except pur
suant to his order. Lieutenant Kent, as
Adjutant to Captain Hartmann. had
taken an auto ride the day before with
out the knowledge of his superior offi
cer, who. when he heard of It, lightly
reprimanded the Lieutenant.
Aggrieved at a Reprimand.
It is the purpose of the defense to at
tempt to demonstrate to the court that
for this reason Lieutenant Kent has such
hostile feelings that the evldoncc is
biased Witness admitted that he felt
aggrieved and that he avoided his su
perior officer as much as possible for
several days.
Should Captain Hartroann's court-mar
tlal prove the result of an attempt to
vent personal animosity, it Is believed by
many that the persons responsible may
themselves be subjected to trial. Other
men In the Army have suffered annoy
ance. punishment and disgrace for the
matters alleged and forming the basis
of the hearing. The exchange steward
was confined, it is said. Jit Benlcla Bar
racks, relieved from confinement, but still
held under arrest, and, seizing a favorable
opportunity, deserted.
Strong denial will be made by the de
fense that Captain Hartmann had any
knowledge contrary to the answers re
turned, and attempts to establish ample
proof. Friends of Captain Hartmann al
lege that liquor sold on the grounds was
by one private to another. It is stated
that since the canteen law was adopted
saloons have sprung up ir large numbers
around every garrison, post or barracks
in the country, many of which sell the
cheapest and most harmful kinds of
liquor.
Vancouver is cited as an Illustration.

said to depend chiefly upon earnings of

The Indictments. It will be observed.
are divided Into three classes. The prln
-inal men In the aliened deal to defraud
the Government, Messrs. Kettenbaeh and
Kestcr. are Joined with the alleged go
betweens, Jackson O'Keefe and William
Dwyer. in one of the conspiracy Indict
ments. In the other Dwyer is lt out.
The bank's bookkeeper. Robnett. and
Kester are charged with Hibernation
of oeriury. and the Indictments for per
Jury are undoubtedly all of stool pigeons
who made the entries on umber lana
The land involved Is for the most part
In Shoehone County, although some of It
is In Latah.
The conspiracy Indictments are divided
Into two classes. The first embraces four
counts. The first count charges that In

the County of Shoshonfc and State and
District of Idaho, and of great value, of
which the following described land Is
part." A description of the land, about
100 acres, follows.
The count then alleges that the land
was entered upon fraudulently and that
the four men mentioned in tbe Indictment
persuaded the cntryman to swear that he
applied for the purchase of the land for
his own use and benefit In good faith and
not for speculative purposes, and that he
had not. directly or Indirectly, entered
Into any agreement with any person or
persons whatsoever by which title should

ROAD INTO THE WALLOWA
Northern Pacific Believed to Be Be
hind the Movement.
LA GRANDE. Or.. July 20. (Special.)
It In said in railroad circles that the
company securing the right-of-way for a
railroad Into the Wallowa and which an
nounced to the public as composed of
New' York capitalists, is really made up
of men In the employ of tbe Northern
Pacific At any rate. It Is evident from
appearances that they are thorough rail
road people and mean to go ahead.
Five years ago the O. R. & N. made
both preliminary and final surveys from
Elgin to Lewiston with a branch exten
sion from the mouth of the Wallowa
River on to Joseph. It Is evident that
this new company has gone ahead under
the assumption that the O. R. & N.'s
right-of-way had expired, but from in
formation obtained from the land office
it is found that a right-of-way continues
five years after It has been approved by
the Interior Department, instead of five
years from date of filing, and in this
case the O. R. & N.'s right-of-way Is
still valid. ,
The conditions are apparently such
that the O. R. & N. will be compelled
to build or give way to the other road.
In any event the outlook for a railroad
Into Wallowa Valley Is encouraging.
O. R. & N. Promises to Build.
LA GRANDE. Or., July 20. (Special.)
Great Interest and enthusiasm Is mani
fested in La Grande since General Man
ager J. P. O'Brien stated at the depot
Tuesday morning that the O. R- & N. was
going to build a railroad Into tbe Wallowa
Valley and construction would begin as
soon as the right-of-way was secured and
contractors could bo gotten to work. Mr.
O'Brien further stated that it was not
yet determined Just bow far the- railroad
would continue, but far enough to answer
the needs of that section.
Tho party consists of General Manager
J. P. O'Brien. R. B. Miller, general freight
agent, and Colonel R. C Judson, Indus
trial agent, and a corps of secretaries.
These gentlemen were to take carriages
at -igin and drive through to the v ai
Iowa Valley, making a thorough Inspec
tion of the proposed route and examina
tion of tne surrounding country.
The advent of this railway will be the
biggest boom to this section of the coun
try since the coming or tne o. k. a j.
Into Grand Ronde Valley, some 30 years
ago.
Night Train Service Desired.
FOREST GROVE. Or- July 20. (Spe
claL) Although it was unanimously voted
at a mas meeting of the citizens last
week, to reject the offer of additional
train service between here and Portland,
made by tbe Southern Pacific Company,
there are many In town who would be
glad to see the proposed schedule go
Into effect- A petition to General Man
ager O'Brien, asking for tbe additional
dally train each way, was started yester
day and already bears a long list of sig
natures. It Is hoped to induce the company to
change the hours of running as proposed
, to. Ma gw OVrt's letter. Tbe people
here want the evening train to leava
Portland at 11 o'clock or later. In order
to afford them an opportunity to spend
an evening at the Fair or theaters In
the city and return home tbe same night.
Many still maintain that the Southern
Pacific should add at least a doable dally
round-trip service. The general manager
preceding Mr. O'Brien promised a two
hour service between Portland and For
est Grove, but the company now refuses
to make good these pledges.

FIGHTS EVERY STEP
Lawyer Collins Uses His Lately
Acquired Information.
OBJECTS TO DOCUMENTS
Contention of San Francisco Fugitive
Is That Perjury Cannot Be
Held to Be an Extradit
able Offense.
VICTORIA. B. G. July 20. Georgs
D. Collins, who began his fight against
extradition to San Francisco for per
jury today- before Judge Lampman.
said he Intends to question the extra'
dltion treaty between the United States
and Canada, holding that by It perjury
cannot be held to be an extraditable
offense. He said ho understood wit
nesses were to be brought from San
Francisco, but as he and his counsel
propose to show authorities that the
charge of perjury as laid against him
could not be proved under the laws of
Canada, as it must be to secure his
extradition, their presence would be
unnecessary. He alleged the Ashbur
ton treaty omits perjury In its list of
extraditable crimes.
Collins' contention Involves the val
idity of the. treaty of 1SS6. He would
also show that the new treaty of 1S90,
In which perjury was mentioned for
the first time as an extraditable of
fense, was not capable of being en
forced, as no legislation was made to
put It Into effect. His contention would
Involve the presentation of a large
number of authorities, he having come
into court with his arms laden with
books.
Previous to this statement by Col
lins, several hours had been spent In
-arguing objections, mostly on techni
calities, by Collins and his counsel.
Collins fighting- each point tooth and
nail, admitting nothing. In opening: the
case Mr. Higglns. for the San Fran
cisco police, applied to amend the in
formation upon which the warrant for
Collins arrest was made, making It in
keeping with further Information and
the warrant brought from San Fran
cisco by Detective Gibson, and Collins
and his counsel objected strongly,
though without avail. They alleged
the court could not amend the informa
tion, which virtually brought a new
charge, and quoted many authorities
as well as citing procedure in tha
Grcene-Gaynor case la Quebec.
Frank Hlgglns. for the prosecution,
cited several cases, including that of
St. John Dlx, extradited from England
for wrecking a bank at Belllngbam. to
show the amendment could be made,
and was upheld by the court, the In
formation being- amended.
Collins then objected strenuously to
the admission of the warrant Issued
b5" District Attorney Bylngton. of San
Francisco, and brought by Detective
Gibson, alleging it was not properly
certified. He held a certificate should
have accompanied It. verified by the
Secretary of State, and advanced in
support a case in which a similar
objection was made, and the Judge
then held the document In 'question
had to be certified by the Secretary of
State and his signature certified by
the British Ambassador. He held the
warrant was not admissible.
Mr. Hlgglns said he would properly
verify the documents he presented
with the necessary evidence. Further
argument was proceeding when the
court suggested the documents be- put
in. subject to objection and decision
thereon given later.
Detective Gibson was examined and
swore that the warrant produced by
him was the original one and duly au
thenticated. He swore to the signa
tures of the Clerk of the San Fran
cisco Court thereon and his deputy. He
also identified Collins. Mr. Hlgglns
then produced the certificate of the
California Secretary of State, authenticating-
the documents which bore the
California seal.
Collins objected to each document.
After citing the nature of the charge
against Collins. Mr. Hlgglns went on
to read the deposition which set forth
that Collins had intermarried with
Charlotte Newman, and his statement
sworn in denial of the maintenance of
action that he was not married to her
was willfully and corruptly false.
Collins continued his objections.
among them being an objection to the
evidence of Charlotte Collins, on the
ground that the person claimed to be
the wife of the accused, and a wife's
evidence was not admissible.

Governor Chamberlain Returns to
Rejoice In Oregon Weather.
SAT. KM. Or., July 20. JtSpeciaL)
"The people of the Eastern States do not
understand the difference between the
climate of the Pacific Coast States and
the climate of the region east of the
Rocky Mountains." said Governor
Chamberlain today on bis return from
Buffalo. "Only ta few who have vis
lted this part of the country kaow hew
mild and pleasant eur S tamers are
compared with the conditions at. the
same time of the-year on the other side
of the continent.
"The temperature was net at its
highest -when I was la Buffalo, but to
rae the heat was alsfteaC uaeaarable.
It was hot feeXh laaeor and eat, and

I had to change ray collars four or five
times a "day, because -they would melt
down-
"Resldents of Oregon who have never
spent a Summer In the East have no
conception of how oppressive the heat
is there."
Governor Chamberlain says that al
though the Lewis and Clark Fair has
been widely advertised, he thinks It
has not been advertised as much as It
should have been, for he met many
people who knew nothing about it. The
magazine articles now being published,
he thinks, are the best advertisements
the Fair has had.
LOW FREIGHT RATE ON CEMENT
Northern Pacific Gives Coast Deal-
ers a Chance to Hold Up Trade.
TACOMA. "Wash.. July 20. (Special.)
In an effort once more to secure control
of the cement, trade in the territory east
of the mountains. Puget Sound dealers
have secured a concession in the way of
freight rates which will again place them
In a position to make a strong bid for
this business.
An announcement was made today that
the Northern Pacific would Inaugurate
a new rate on cement, making the ma
terial reduction of 11 cents per 100 pounds
from Coast points to Spokane and all
points taking the Spokane rate. Similar
reductions are also made to other points
east of the mountains.
For some time past the rate from Ta
coma to Spokane on cement has been 2S
cents per 100 pounds, but of recent years
manufacturers of domestic cement in Col
orado and Utah havevgalned control of
the Spokane territory and little cement
has been shipped to that section from
Coast points. It will give the Puget
Sound and Coast dealers an opportunity
to regain their former prestige.
The " Northern Pacific has announced
a new rate of 25 cents per 100 pounds,
which rate Is to become effective August
L and apply to shipments of 50.000 pounds
or more. Thi3 Is a reduction of more
than 30 per cent, and it Is believed It will
result in Coast dealers securing control
of the disputed territory with the as
sistance of the lower rate.

used as a buffer to stand off many of the
12 other victims.

"My .strength, had dwindled so that I
couldn't apply myself to my business
with any snap hut was tired and listless
all the time," saidMr. Goldstein.
""I Trent to bed completely used np by
my day's work, and when I got up in
tho morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I
had awful headaches too, and my kid
neys got out of order and caused me to
have sorer) pains in the hack. At ona
time I became so feeble that I could not
tir from bed for three weeks."
itr. Goldstein is a young man and had
then but recently established a home of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from
being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says:
" For two years I had been ill most of
tho tone. Sometimes I was confined to
bed for weeks in succession under a phy
sician's care. I had headaches, kidney
trouble, pain about the Heart and many
more uncomfortable symptoms con
nected with that weakness to which my
sex is peculiarly subject."
Trouble had invaded this household
and settled in it in just the years that
ought to be the trery happiest. Physicians
could not tell them how to get rid of it.
I was utterly discouraged, "said 3Ir.
Goldstein. "Then the urgency of soma
friends led me to try a blood and nerra
remedy which was said to be wonder
fully successful. Within a month there
were unmistakable signs of improvement
in my condition, and within a year I
was completely well. Through the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I haTe now
as good health as I ever had in my life."
Mrs. Goldstein adds : "The wonderful
effect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had
in the case of my husband led me to try
them and they helped me even more
quickly than they did him. One box
made me decidedly better and a few
months' treatment cured me."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best
tonio and regulator, they make pure,
rich blood and when there is general
weakness and disorder that is what the
system needs. Mr. and Mrs. H. Goldstein
live at 88 Gove street, East Boston, Mass.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
druccista everywhere.
