i THE MORNING OREGQNIAlS 5?UE&DA,YI . NOVEMBER . 14, 1905. ... C. HENEY ST CAPITAL Argues Benson - Hyde Land Fraud -Case Today. HERMANN'S TRIAL DELAYED postal Fraud Trials "May Come First jn "Washington t5Iovo to Ad vance .Mitchell Case in'Su ' prenie jCourt IlkcIy. OREGOKIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Nov. 13. District Attorney Francis J; Hjeney reached Washington todtty and will tomorrow make an ar gument before the United States Su preme Court on the plea In abatenient brought by" the Benson-Hyde Dlmond Jand ring, whose members aTe seeking to tave off.- trial la thc courts of the rlBtrict of Columbia on an fndictment charging them with fraudulently ac quiring public lands in Oregon and California, if the court sets aside the plea, there is some doubt whether this land case can be Immediately tried. Mr, Honey had a talk today .with District Attorney Baker, of "the Dis trict of Columbia, -and finds that the Government is extremely anxious to go ahead with the trial of the Postofflcc enses. Furthermore the attorneys for Benson and Hyde say they wish Ho take numerous depositions, and will sot be ready for trial until February. For these reasons this trial will prob ably be postponed until early next year, Hermann's Trial Jfot Set. Mr. Heney has not yet had time to ascertain the particulars' of bringing Rcpresentativc'He'rmann to trial in the courts of this city on the indictment charging him with illegally destroying 36 letter-press copy books when he re signed from the General Land Office. While he does not expect to argue this case, Mr. Heney is interested in It, especially as he wishes to avoid any conflict In the dates set for the trial of Mr. Hermann in Portland and In this city. In" all probability the Gov ernment's anxiety to push the Post office cases will crowd out the case against Mr. Hermann until -some time after the holidays. It is impossible to tell at this time whether Hermann will Jljrst fie tried in Portland or in this city. Mr. Heney has not completed his arrangements for continuing the land cases In Portland, and will probably not announce his programme until ho returns. He says many circumstances are to be considered,' which -will deter mine the order in which these cases are to be taken up. This afternoon Mr. Heney had a con ference With Mr. Hitchcock and was warmly congratulated upon the suc cess Which he has attained in Portland. Mr. Hitchcock expressed hiihself as en-J tireiy satisfied with the manner in which the Government's case, has bean presented in court,' and he confidently expels Mr. Hny -upon his return to Portland to obtain other convictions. Will Advance Mitchell Case. Before he leaves Washington Mr. Heney will call upon the President and talk over Oregon matters, past and prospective. He will also have several conferences with Attorney-General Moody, and, while he will not take up the case of Senator Mitchell, he expresses it as his personal opinion that the Government will prob ably ask for sin advancement of Mitchell's case on the Supreme Court docket after waiting a reasonable time for Mitchell to seek an advancement. Mitchell's attorney has already-declared that he will not ask for an advancement, and it Is probably only a matter of a few weeks before the Government acts. Unless the case is ad vanced, there is no likelihood that it can be argued at this term of court. Probable Further Trials. Mr. Heney is not able to tell how long he will be in Washington. Much will de pend -upon the time set for argument of the Benson-Hyde cases. If they are put over until next February, he will prob ably leave for Portland In two orthree? weeks and resume the trial of cases there pending, but, if the Benson-Hyde case Is set for early argument, which Ts not prob able, he will remain in Washington until .the argument Js closed. ' Speaking of the Oregon Judgeship, which U hanging fire, Mr. Heney said he had no intention of taking that matter up with the President, nor will he take up other matters of patronage. His stay in Wash ington will be devoted solely to business connected with the land-fraud cases. And, by the way, when he concludes the trial of the Oregon cases and closes up the Benson-Hyde cases in this city, Mr. Heney says he docs not expect to figure in similar cases outside his own state. He declarcs'vhe knows nbthnig of the "Wash ington or Idaho land frauds beyond what he has read in the newspapers, and does apt expect to have any hand in trying per sona wh.o may be indicted in those states.

Mr. Benson declares thit the indictments against mm are bad in sub stance and that, -if the irregularities charged were true, they do not consti tute a criminal offense, In the event the demurrers are overruled, counsel for the defense announce that they will ask for early trials of the cases.

AGAINST THE RAILROADS (Continued From Page lS years, ho felt that high Aide of pros perity has been reached and a decline is now due, and that a reduction of rates at this time would be unjust to th rail roadsj which have spent vast sums for increased equipment in order to handle the increased business. Mr. Blakeley stated the prosperity of the Nprthwest for the past seven years has -been without precedent, and that the Northern Pacific has all of Its own car shops and the shops of other factories in the Eastern States working at full ca pacity, but cannot keep pace with the in crease in the volume of business, and is now and has been for some time suffering .from shortage of cars and motive power. . Mr. Walsh, division superintendent of the O. R. & N. was questioned in regard to the feasibility of making connections between the O. R. & N. and Northern Pa cific at Connell ana the commission prac tically announced that It.wiU require .such connection to be made, and that Connell will be . made a gateway from Puget Sound to Eastern -Washington points on the O. R. & N. No Arguments Arc Presented. The attorneys for the state and the de fendants waived argument, for the testi mony had all been taken. The railroad attorneys announced they would not ar gue the case, but would leave it to the commission without argument- Attor-nej'-General Atkinson then stated that if the attorneys for the defendants were to waive argument he also would waive. This brought the case to a sudden close. After a brief consultation the commis sioners announced . that they would ad journ "unfjl 7:3&, when .an oral announce ment of thejr decision- wouktbc "mode, and that the full text of the ' decision would be rendered in about two weeks. In the meantime if the defendants wished to make any further showing they might do so at the office of the commission in Olympia. Nearly all of the attorneys and railroad officials and witnesses left on the after noon train for Spokane. The Portland contingent left tonight for Portland. The Commissioners leave for piympla tomor row morning via Spokane. Text or Uic Decision. , Following is the full text ot the de cision' of the Washington Railroad Commission as read by Chairman-Fair-child: The consmlnsion has unanimously agreed up on t,he following general principles governing the decision In this case, viz.: It is satisfied by the evidence that, the em ployes of the Northern Paclflo Railway Com pany have for many year allowed a rule, regulation or practice of routing goods from Puget Sound terminals to practically nit point b in Eastern Washington situated on the lines of the O. R. & X. Company via Portland, Or., and this practice and custom has pre vailed for such a length of 'time that the company is chargeable with knowledge thereof and that such practice and Custom, under the circumstance, constitutes a rule govern ing shipments as alleged In the complaint. That such rule, and - regulation causes un necessary delay .'anclladdiUattflt-expense, there by .injuring both shippers and con Burners, and in therefore' unfalr'unjust and unreasonable. The commission' will therefore cause an or der to be entered abrogating thlsrule, and in lieu thereof will provide that Tch goods be routed via such" gateways In Washington as are most expeditious and economical, unless otherwise directed by the shipper. The commission i ratlsfled that the sum or the locals now charged on shipment over two or more lines within the state is an un just -and unreasonable- rate, and-that Joint rates on the goods mentioned in the complaint moving In cither direction should be estab lU&ca. ' , Joint Rate Jor Eleven Years. The evidence is practically uncontradicted that for.nearly leven years a Joint rate was voluntarily established and maintained by the O. R. &. N. Co. and the Great Northern Rail way Company which met the local rate of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, and also the rate of the O. R. & 2C. Co. to Port land and the presumption roust maintain that the product can be profitably carried were a Joint rate established. The commission Is satisfied from the' evi dence Introduced that -a Joint rate on coal from Rofllyn to Colfax and Intermediate points should be established. From 1891 to 12)02 a Joint rate was In force and voluntarily main talned by the Northern Pacific Railway Com pany and the O. R. & X. Co. when it was abrogated by the O. R. & X. Co.. as4t frank ly admits, for the benefit or the Union Pacific Coal Company and tho Union Pacific Railroad Company, and a prohibitory rate was placed on coal from Wallula Junction to Colfax. The commission will establish & Joint rate from Roslyn to Colfax and intermediate points. The details of all these Joint rates win re quire careful consideration- and will be em-' bodied In the formal findings which will be promulgated at an early -date. Dark Sent to Reform .School.

It was tho keynote of the cheering -with which 2500 British and American sailors made the great pavilion ring to the echo. It was the toast to which they drank across the long tables which stretched down the great hall beneath tho over hanging British and American flags. It was the theme of the speeches that ac companied the cigars and beer of this mammoth feast, unique In the history of all navies, and which will long furnish the thomo of yarns on many a British and American berth-deck. Gorgeous Canopy of Flags. Coney Island In the vicinity of the Bow ery Pavilion looked as If midsummer had returned. The fakers were about the in closure long before tho sailors, and the a!l-thc-year-round residents packed the approaches to the hall. Inside, the picture was one which surprised even the men themselves who had worked all night In Its construction. Overhead a frieze of British and American flags stretched around the hall. From each of the 12 chandeliers swinging from the ceiling down the center of the hall waved four American and four British Hags. The bal cony railing was lntertwlnea with the col ors of the two nations. Festoons of bunt. Ing were draped across from one balcony to the other, caught up In the center by great globes of electric lights. All Officers Sit at Head. Across the lower end of the main hall was a long table, with four smaller tables adjoining at right angles. These were for the two commanders-in-chief, their staffs, the flag officers and their staffs, and the commanding and executive officers from each of the 21 British and American war ships in the North River, and other offi cers especially invited by the men. At the center of the long table looking down the hall sat Rear-Admiral Evans and Rear-Admiral Prince Louis. To the right of Admiral Evans, beside the Prince, were R car-Admiral Dickens. Rear-Admiral Brownson, Captain Pelrce, Colonel R. M. Thompson. Captain Dare and Captain Relnold.

Good Discipline With Enthusiasm. The British and American sailors were assembled on board the flagships Maine and Alabama early this afternoon. There they boarded three steamers, which land ed thorn at Steeplechase pier between 5:30 and 6.

The band played a medley of popular sailor songs while the 2300 sailors were being assigned their seats, which were taken without the slightest confusion. An other evidence of their discipline came when for nearly aif hour they sat patient ly In their seats awaiting the arrival of the Prince and Admiral Evans, with the other officers, who came In six special cars. The party reached the hall about 7, and entered amid a storm of cheers. Before the Prince had finished the first course, he said he wanted to get the view from the gallery. When the two com manders left tholr seats and started for the balcony, the sailors seemed to forget about the beer and other good things be fore them and. jumping' to their feet, they cheered for four minutes. Then the other Admirals took a look from the balcony, and then Captains, each group getting a rousing cheer. When the bumpers wen; filled, the health of the 'head of the British navy was drunk. Then came three cheers for Prince Louis, three for Admiral Evans and three for the British navy. Coney Island Wide Open. By 10 o'clock the 15 rounds of beer which each sailor received had been disposed of, and the men started out to do Coney Island. Many of the amusement places opened up in honor of the visitors. At midnight the shooting galleries, the beer gardens and other attractions were doing a midsummer business, and the 2300 sail ors were having the time of their lives. Tho boats will como alongside Steeple chase pier at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning to take the banqueters to their respective ships. The dinner tonight was a return cour tesy for the entertainment which the men of the American squadron received when In England several years ago. Tho front of the menu cards bore a picture of the American and British sailor clasping hands over the flags of their two coun tries. The guests were seated first a Brit isher, and then an American. While the men made merry at Coney Island, the warrant officers of the British squadron entertained the warrant officers of the American ships at a ball on tho Drake.
