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.

Washington, Nov. 13. counsel for
John A. Benson, indicted for bribery in
:onnection with the land-fraud cases,
and Frederick A. Hyde, Henry P. Di-
mond and Joost D. Schneider, indicted
for conspiracy to defraud the United
States in the same cases, today filed
demurrers to all of the indictments in
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia. 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.
Milwaukee Coming to Coast.
BOISE. Idaho. Nov. 13. (Special.) J.

when a chief dies.
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.

Governor Pennypackers action 1 werthy of
the highest praise. It ! a prompt and

people expreeed in unmistakable terrrfs and
by the constitutional method the ballot I
protest against any doubt or suspicion being
cast upon the sincerity and high purpose of
the Governor In convoking the Assembly to
enact needed reforms. His omUilon of ballot
reform as a subject Tor legislation Is prob
ably to be regretted, but I am confident tho
Qovernor will supply this omission. If It la
demonstrated to him that It ought to be In
cluded In his proclamation. I would not.
however, have this understood as a criticism
of his action, for what he has done is all
praiseworthy and in accordance with the es

fidelity to the constitution and the principles
of democratic Institutions. Now let the Leg

that may be paaed be the result of the
best thought of all the friend of reform,
of whatever party, name or allegiance.
DUNNE OFFERS THREE PLANS
Again Presses Municipal Ownership
on Chicago Council.
CHICAGO. Nov. 13. Another ordinance
prbx'idlng. for steps to secure municipal
ownership of the street railways in Chi
cago was submitted to; the City Council
tonight by Mayor Dunne. The ordinance
was accompanied by a message to the
Aldrt-men which gave three-ways In which
Mayor Dunne asserts he will be able to
bring about municipal ownership.
The first plan Is by reaching an agree
ment with the traction companies by
which their property would be transferred
to the city at a price decided upon 4y
arbiters. The second is by condemnation
o'f the property of the street railway com
panies under the provisions of the Mueller
act. The third method Is the one which
the Mayor has already presented as an
alternative to his contract plan. It is for
the construction of municipal street rail
way linos which will parallel the lines of
the existing companies.
The ordinance which accompanied the
message from the Mayor asked that au
thority be given to place on the ballots at
the Spring election the question whether
the city shall issue Mueller-bill certifi
cates to the amount of J75.000.OMi This
sum. It is declared by the Mayor, is need
ed for the reconstruction of the lines and
for the purchase or tho unexpired fran
chise rights of the existing companies.
. The messages, and the ordinances were
referred to the committee on local trans
portation, the same fate as that which
met tho other propositions submitted to
the Council by the Mayor.
Another ordinance submitted by Mayor
Dunne was -one for the regulation of gas
and olectric light rates. This ordinance,
which provides fori 75-cent gas, was re
ferred to the committee on -gas, oil and

SCENE WITHOUT PARALLEL
Huge Hall Filled With 2500 .Mingled
Sailors of Both Nations at Coney
Island Prince Louis at
Horse Show.
NEW YORK. Nov. 13. The famous say
ing. "Blood Is Xhicker than water." never
found more impressive expression than it
did tonight at the dinner on the Bowery
at Coney Island, which the enlisted .men
of the first squadron of the United States
Atlantic fleet gave to the' enlisted men of
the second cruiser sqqadron of His Bri
tannic Majesty's navy, commanded by
Rear-Admiral Prince Louis of Battenbcrg.
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. To the left of Admiral Evans
sat Sir Percy Sanderson, the British Con-sul-General
at New York; Admiral Davis.
Captain Farquahar. Police Commissioner
McAdoo, Captain Emery. Captain King
Hall, Captain Tilley and Captain Ryan.
The other officers "were at the adjoining
tables, which were prettily decorated with
pink and white carnations. Champagne
was the only "extra" not served at the
six rows of tables which stretched from
the officers' tables to the door on the main
floor and (or nearly .the entire length of
the balcony. .
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. From there, escorted by 130 special
police, thoy marched to Stauch's pavilion
on the Bowery, and received a noisy wel
come along the route.
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

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

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.
