F
Testimony in Hendricks Trial
Shows Method of Se
........ curing Domain.
GOVERNMENT RESTS CASE
Prosecutor Heney Feels Certain of
Securing Conviction, but De
fense Slay Occupy Several
Days to Present Case.
In the case of ths United States
against Hamilton H. Hendricks, on trial
In the Federal Court before Judge Hdnt
and a Jury, the Government rested at
adjournment yesterday 'afternoon, and
witnesses for the defense will probably
be placed on the stand the first thing
this morning. It Is not thought the case
will be ready for submission to the Jury
before next Saturday.
That Special Assistant to the Attorney
General lleney feels confident of a con
viction in evident from the fact that yes
terday he refrained from asking Witness
James Loran Combs an Important ques
tion for fear it might Jeopardize his In
terests and afford the defendant a loop
hole of escape Jn the event of appeal
from a verdict of guilty. Heney has re
served the testimony of several witnesses
for rebuttal purposes, and, although In
the aggregate he has called a large num
ber. It Is believed that his supply of
testimony Is not nearly exhausted, and
that It all depends upon the character of
the defense that will be Introduced
whether he will attempt to overwhelm
Judge Bennett with a flood of additional
evidence.
Ten witnesses were examined yesterday
for the prosecution, and In the main
their testimony was a continuation of
the story of how the Butte Creek Land,
livestock & Lumber Company, of which
defendant Is secretary and treasurer, har
rassed settlers within the confines of
their Illegitimate domain to such an ex
tent that many were compelled to leave
the country.
The general system adopted tay the
company contemplated the acquisition by
process of "dummy" homestead entries,
of a chain of title extending from what
Is known as the "rim-rock" which Is
nothing more than high ledges cropping
out of the ground to different points
along the eastern and northern boun
daries of the company's holdings from a
point In the northeast quarter of section
13, township 7 south, range 19 east, to a
connection with the rim-rock on Butte
Creek, In section 9, township 6 eouth,
range 19 east. Fences were built along
these claims. In such a way as to give
the company an immense pasture In the
territory drained by the John Day River
and Butte Creek, In Wheeler County,
Oregon, embracing 18.360 acres of vacant
Government land besides their own hold
ings. While Putnam was one of the star
witnesses yesterday. It Is thought the
main portion of his evidence will be
reserved for the case wherein the of
ficers of the corporation are under In
dictment for their illegal fencing of
the public domain, scheduled to be
tried directly after the Mays case Is
disposed of. Mr. Putnam has been
quite active In securing Governmental
investigation of the injustice that was
alleged to have been committed
against the settlers of that region by
the big corporation, and this has
earned for him considerable animosity
on the part of the members of the
company.
This ill-feeling was apparent yester
day by the character of questions
asked him by Judge Bennett, counsel
for the defendant, and upon one occa
sion provoked a rebuke from the court
in the shape of the admonition that
Putnam was entitled to explain wheth
er his efforts In promoting the investi
gation were compatible with honest
activity, or whether associated with
corrupt designs. He was thereupon
permitted to enter into a graphic ac
count of his doings in this direction,
which resulted finally in Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock taking the mat
ter into his own bands and sending
representatives to the region who
could not be bribed or browbeaten,
and whose reports as to conditions
brought about the present upheaval.
Francis J. Hcney's testimony related to
the Identification of certain correspond
ence that had passed between Hendricks
and himself while he was carrying on
the investigation before the Federal
jrrand Jury touching the Hawk matter.
In substance these letters set forth that,
in response to orders from Special Agent
E. W. Dixon, the corporation had taken
down all the fences complained of, and
that if any had been replaced, it was
the work of an enemy.
A letter directed to the foreman of
the grand Jury was also read. In which
Fred Ball was accused of going to Port
land and placing the matter before tho
grand Jury because Hendricks had acted
as his wife's attorney In divorce pro
ceedings.
Mr. Heney testified that at the time
of receiving the letters the subject of
fencing the public lands was the sole
matter before the body, but as soon as
the witnesses for that feature of the sit
uation begnn to arrive, their evidence
developed the Illegal nature of the en
tries that had been fathered by the com
pany, especially with reference to that of
John Roll, and the grand Jury voted to
indict W. W. Stelwer and Clarence B.
Zachary, president and secretary, respec
tively, of the corporation, but on account
of overwork Mr. Heney declared that he
had been unable to draw the indict
ment specified.
The case will proceed at 9:30 this morn
ing. COW DISAPPEARS IN NIGHT
G. V. McCoy Thinks Animal Was
Stolen and Slaughtered.
O. W. McCoy, 384 Twenty-sixth street,
decided to get a cow a few days ago
Finding what looked like a good buy,
ho took the bovine on approval. His pros
pective purchase proved to be like a'
small piece of Ice on a hot Summer night;
it was gone the next morning. McCoy
has spent most of his spare time of
late trying to got on the trail of the
cow. Yesterday he gave up in despair
and sought the aid of the police. Un
less he can roturn the animal to Its
owner he will have to produce the equiv
alent in cash. McCoy has a' theory that
the cow was lured away during the night
to a neighboring slaughter house.

No new developments have appeared, the

President Tucker and Secretary Godfrey,

seen yesterday, refused to make any

just such a proposition as the street
railways faced a few weeks ago; that
comparatively few of their men wefe in

Opens Holiness Campmeeting
on East Side and Exhorts
Many to Live Better.
WIFE IS HIS LIEUTENANT
"Don't Look at Me, tho Black Man,
Look at the White Name of
Jesus," Shouts the Col
ored Exhorter.
BY A. II. BALLARD.
John J. Glassco and his wife are en
ergetic negroes. He manages the St.
Johns Holiness Gospel Mission at Sec
ond and Main streets, and the place has
a large congregation, composed for the
most part of whites, and they have
meetings and services afternoon and
evening on Sundays, and evenings
every day In the year.
Just now they are conducting their
fourth campmeeting at Twelfth and Di
lsion streets, on the East Side.
It Is a vacant lot ordinarily, of large
' f:.
dimensions, and here are erected the
Tabernacle now, and the Big Restau
rant for boarding the people who come
from all over the country, and the
place Is dotted with private tents for
the accommodation of those who have
come to mingle spiritually with the
elect and get on outing at the same
time.
They held their first prayer meeting
service last evening at the Tabernacle,
and a heterogeneous gathering re
sulted. The Rev. Mr. Glassco was born in
Tennessee. He was ordained a Metho
dist minister n Austin, Tex., and was
brought up in the Methodist faith. He
remained there for a good while, and
went from there to Los Angeles., where
he stayed seven years. Then he came
to Portland, Or. Once he strayed over
to the Baptists, but afterward returned
to the fold of the Methodists. He has
been doing evangelical work the great
er portion of his life, and he is the
kindliest sort of a man, with a power
of exhortation that wakes people up.
The mission of which he is manager
and the chief soul, with the Important
addition of his wife is a regularly in
corporated religious Institution, the
same as any other church, and it stands
well in the esteem of other religious
organisations. The Rtrange (or, better,
perhaps, remarkable) fact is noticeable
Immediately upon one's advent Into
their midst that the preacher Is a
colored man and his followers and co
adjutors are mainly of the pale-face
race.
Loves Everyone, Fights No One.
"I fight no one. I love everyone. I
am in harmony with all the churches
and all the people. They are all wel
come to our meetings. I am fighting
only with sin and Impurity and wicked
ness. We have people from many of
the churches come in to meet with us.
Especially is this so in our Sunday-afternoon
services, and at our campmoet
lngs they come from everywhere. We
have a regular list of members, and
thoy come regularly, but we are reach
ing out all the while to save souls
wherever we can find them. I am a
happy man, serving God, and trying to
turn sinners to repentance.
"The more they fight me the better

I love them. The Bible says that we
cannot enter the kingdom of heaven If
we keep hate in our hearts. The con
gregation is made up of whites, blacks.
Chinamen, churchmen, every nation
and any denomination. They are all
welcome. Some come from Salem,
from The Dalles and other places
good outing for them, too.
"A policeman stays around here and
sees that the hoodlums do not go too
far. There are prenty of that class
who come around, mock us and try to
bother us. But I bear no 111 will in
my heart. I let the policeman take
care of them, and he is sufficient unto
the task. (Rumor has it that Mrs.
Glassco, who Is temperamentally
strong and physically active, lends a
hand once in a while, and whenever
needed, in this, process of purging the
atmosphere from the contaminating in
fluence of the festive hoodlum.)
"Look there on our walls and read
our texts:
" 'God Is the father of those who
love Truth, Purity, Honesty, Holiness,
Repentance, the Narrow Way; and
Satan Is the father of those who love
Lies. Carnality, Pride, Pleasures,
Worldliness.'
"There is no middle ground. No
man can serve two masters; he will
love one and hate the other."
Mrs. Glassco Objects to Tobacco.
"Turn about, brother," spoke up Mrs.
Glassco,. as she rocked to and fro In
her chair. "Do you smoke?" I ad
mitted that I did.
"You give it up. You cannot go to
heaven smoking. I dipped my snuff, I
smoked my pipe, I took my chew until
I was above 40, but then the Lord
cleaned me up, and I stopped all those
things. Do you know how you smell
from that tobacco? No, you don't real
ise it. I remember when the grocery
man came in to me after the Lord had
cleaned roe up. I asked him I said:
'Boy, you must have some broke eggs
around about, you somewhere.'
"He says: 'No, Mrs. Glassco, no
broke eggs about me.'
"I says: "Yes there Is; they are about
you and they stink. I don't know but
It Is that tobacco. Yes, that's It. It
Is that tobacco.'
"Don't you know that It gets Into
and all through you, and thut people
can smell you a rod oft? Give a pipe or
a cigar to a baby and it would kill the
baby. I tell you, you got to get out of
sin and get out of those dirty habits,
too, like smoking."
I'll swear I didn't light a cigarette
all the way home on the car. But I
fell after supper.
When the photographer arrived to
take the pictures of the campmeeting
celebrities Mr. Glassco smiled and was
willing right away.
Mrs. Glassco wagged her head and
said: "No, none of your picture fool
ishness for me." And she took a milk
Jug and ambled over to the gateway.
I assured her that we were there to
give them courteous publicity and as
respectful attention as they deserved
that I was reporting their words just
as they uttered them, and that I was
going to describe their work, their
praiseworthy labors and the aspect of
their encampment, precisely as it ap
peared to me, without any embellish
ments pro or con, and that It was just
as well for her to be good and get into
the bandwagon.
Her husband, John, coaxed in a way
that tells me that Mrs. Glassco has
been known to have an opinion of her
own.
He wheedled: "Come now, Hattie!
Come and let us help him with the pic
tures." The milk of human kindness fairly
oozes out of the Rev. Mr. Glassco's
whole personality.
Mrs. Glassco moped over at the gate
way, and remarked:
"Nope."
Fighting Sin for Fourteen Years.
The good that the Rev. Mr. Glassco
does is manifest to anyone who listens
to his exhortations for a moment or
two.
His meeting last night was free and
open to everybody. He speaks with
personal magnetism that uplifts. He
asserts that he has been fighting sin
for 14 years, and that he fights under
the banner of Jesus. He is not here to
fight sects, but to preach salvation. He
wants to show people how they can be
happy and how they can get peace of
mind and hearts here on earth and go
to heaven when this life Is finished.
He expects to wear out In harness,
and every Jime anyone gets up in his
meetings and says, "I am saved," the
Rev. Mr. Glassco shouts, "Amen, hal
lelujah, praise God!"
His overflowing goodness and ear
nestness stamp him as one saintly
man among a million.
I do not wonder that he has fol
lowers. There is a fact for the ethnologist to
examine. There Is a man who Is good
to the core, and I would stake my life
upon it. He appeals to the emotions,
and, with the true dramatic tempera
ment, extols the Joys and efficacies of
holiness and salvation through the un
selfishness and love of Jesus Christ.
He shouts: "Don't look at me, the
black man look at the white name of
Jesus."
You ought to hear him.

Eleven Vote Against Consideration

Slumbering peacefully away among the

of the Council is the ordinance to revoke
the permit or license to operate steam
cars over Fourth street, and all the elo
quence and fiery oratory of Councilman
Vaughn could not disturb its tranquil se
pose last niebt when the city fathers met.
At the meeting of the Council Vaughn
made a most stirring appeal to have the
ordinance taken from the hands of the
Judiciary committee and placed for final
consideration before the parent body, but
his words fell upon deaf ears, and the
measure remains where it has been for
the past eight months.

of tourists who cams here to attend

we should take some action upon this
ordinance," declared Councilman Vaughn.
"If it Is not fair it should be disposed with,
but if it is Just and equitable, as it un
doubtedly is, It should be enacted.
"Are we always to have this nuisance?
I and others who have Investigated the
matter believe that the permit can be re
voked. Some say that it will involve the
city in litigation. Are we to stand here
and remain silent and inactive Just be
cause of the assumption that if we take
the proper action that it will be carried
into the courts?"
. Vaughn's Eloquence Fruitless.
He made a motion that the ordinance
be taken from the hands of the Judiciary
committee. The motion was lost.- Those
who voted nay were: Annand, Belding,
Bennett, Gray. Masters, Menefee, Preston,
Sharkey, Shepherd, Wallace and Wills.
The yeas were Kellaher, Rushlight and
Vaughn. Then Councilman Bennett moved
that the judiciary committee be instructed
to report back the measure at the next
meeting, but the vote upon this was the
same as the first, with the exception of
Bennett and Wills, who voted yes.
An ordinance was adopted authorizing
the Mayor and the Auditor to renew the
lease on Hawthorne Park and take an op
tion of one year for the purchase of the
park for 1150,000. The object of the option
is to submit the purchase to the people
at the next municipal election.
The members wrangled considerably
over an ordinance appropriating $1000 for
the health department for emergency
cases, and before it could be passed It was
cut down to $700. It was explained that
the need of money was urgent, as there
were cases that had to receive Immediate
attention.
The ordinance to grant a franchise to
McCusker and Keady to construct a sub
way under the Willamette River, report
ed by the Executive Board, was referred
back to the street committee. Councilman
Gray offered an amendment to the ordi
nance calling for a $60,000 assessment im
mediately upon the granting of the fran
chise, and this was also referred to the
street committee.
Limits Height of Buildings.
Councilman Shepherd Introduced an or
dinance to limit the erection of all build

the limiting of reinforced concrete build

An ordinance requiring the payment of

ney. An ordinance authorizing the Mayor and
the Auditor to secure an option upon the

The office of Assfstant Building In

nance. The leasing of the property of the
Northern Pacific Terminal Company at
the west end of the ateel bridge for 20
years, to be used as a. site for an engine
house, was authorized by ordinance.
A resolution offered by Councilman Men
efee waa passed recommending that the
Executive Board grant to Alexander
Campbell, an old man gradually going
blind, a permit to conduct a cigar stand
in the City Hall. To do this would be
breaking away from a long-established
precedent, and It Is probable that the
permission will not be granted by the
board. '
The meeting closed by a Becret ballot
being cast to elect a President of the

LINN SENATOR IN TBI
M. A. MILLER, OF LEBANON, IS
HERE TO VIEW CONDITIONS.
Conies to See What Republicans Are
Doing Toward Making Dem
ocrat President of Senate.
State Senator "Milt'1 (M. A.) Miller, of
Lebanon, came to town yesterday to see
what the 24 Republicans of the State
Senate are doing toward giving the six
Democrats of that body a presiding of
ficer. He didn't find much doing, but
felt hopeful of the Democrats being able
to elect the gavel man out of their own
number, because of the large number of
Republican aspirants for the Job.
Though Mr. Miller Is the oldest member
of the upper body, in service, and the
logical candidate of his brethren for the
presidency, he averred that he had no
designs on the position.
"I may have some bills for the Legis
lature," said be, when asked to what
subjects of legislation he would direct
his especial attention, "but the fact is,
that members of the Legislature 'do more
for the people by preventing the pas
sage of bills than by putting bills
through. And I suppose the Republicans
will have bills for adding three more
normal schools" whereat the Senator's
face took on the old look it used to
wear In the lawmaking body when he
was leading the fight against the normal
school graft.
Senator Miller denied that he had come
to the metropolis to help his Democratic
brethren in this city secure the 177 Jobs
under Mayor Lane for which they have
been clamoring since the Bruin decision.
"I'm not in that business," he remarked,
"and, .besides, I've got troubles of my
own."
That the next Democratic candidate for
President will be Bryan is Mr. Miller's
opinion, on the issues of tariff, trusts
and honest government. Free silver, if
an Issue, would be secondary. Bryan,
he said, would not make an Issue himself;
that he couldn't do, because Issues are
made by times and conditions, which were
entirely different from those in 1836 that
made silver an issue.
FIRE IN FOREST RESERVE
FLAMES DO TREMENDOUS DAM
AGE NEAR MILL CITY.
Hundreds ot Men Fighting Blaze,
but Brisk Wind Spreads
Fire in Big Lumber,
The immense forest fire raging In
the vicinity of Mill City has eaten Its
way into the northern division of the
Cascade forest reserve, and is destroy
ing a splendid tract of timber. Sev
eral hundred men are fighting the
flames, but so fur their efforts have
been attended with but little success,
and men are being recruited as fast as
they can be had.
G- M. Homans, assistant forest In
spector of the Cascade division, loft
last night for the scene of the con
flagration, in response to a telegram
from D. D. Bronson, forest Inspector,
who has charge of the fire fighters.'
Inspector Homans chartered a special
engine at Albnny last night, which car
ried him to the fire. He will assist
Inspector Bronson in the handling of
the men, as the force is becoming too
large for one man to direct to advan
tage. The fire is raging about a half mile
from the track of the Corvallls &
Eastern Railroad on the other side of
Mill City, In what Is known as the
Brettenbush timber. It has gained a
tremendous start, and It Is feared that
an lmmcse tract .of timber will be de
stroyed before it can be brought under
control.
A stiff wind has been blowing durlnr
the last few days, giving impetus to
the flames. At night when the wind
dies down the men fight the flames,
but in the daytime' It Is useless for
them to attempt to beat them back.
Will Swim From Ross to

William Doluh, Portland Boy of IT,
Will Attempt to Improve on Re
cent Remarkable Fent.
WILLIAM DOLPII, tho 17-year-old son
of Mrs. C. A. Dolph, who resides
at 363 West Park street. Is a swimmer
of unusual ability. Last Monday Dolph
swam from Ross Island to the Morrison
bridge, a distance of two miles, In th
remarkably fast time of 58 minutes. This
is said to be an amateur record. Dolph
is positive that he can cover this distance
in much quicker time.
The youn man Is a member of Mult
nomah Cldi and the Portland Rowing
Club, and he has always taken a great
delight In swimming. He has gone td
the coast for three weeks and when he
returns he will try to swim from Rosa
Island to Swan Island in the lower har
bor, a distance of seven miles. In fact,
he started out to cover this distance
Monday, but his swimming mate became
tired early and they both left the water
at the Morrison bridge. Dolph says he
does not care to enter any professional
contests, although he has had many chal
lenges already. He prefers to gwim purely
for his own amusement, although Port
land trainers believe he could be devel
oped into a champion.

Pence to Run Dirt Trains on
St. Helens Road.
COURT GIVES PERMISSION
Locomotive and Cars Are to Be
Vsed In the Construction of
Trolley Line From Port
land to Linnton.
Lafe Pence Is building his railroad Una
from Portland to Linnton, and the mem
bers of the County Commissioners' Court
are satisfied with the progress he is mak
ing. Mr. Pence was granted a fran
chise to use the St. Helens' road under
the agreement that he would grade and
Improve the road for a width of 60 feet
from Portland to Linnton. The right ot
way of the road is 80 feet, and Mr. Pence
was given the use of 20 feet for his
railroad. He was to improve the 60 feee
with gravel, and he Is doing It. He has
a large number of men at work on the
road and they keep going 20 hours a day,
there being two shifts.
Mr. Pence called on Judge Webster
and County Commissioners Barnes and
Llghtner yesterday morning and asked
permission to place a temporary track
on the St. Helens road, so thut he can use
a locomotive and cars to haul gravel.
Teams, he said, were too slow, and he
would run his trains nights from 10 or
11 P. M. until & A. M., so as not to
frighten teams. Mr. Pence said he did
not think any teams would be encoun
tered after 11 P. M. and his-trains woul
run slowly, and his men exercise care.
The permission to run the locomotive
and train was granted.
Mr. Pence assured the members of
the court he would have the work on

k The Cheapest Form of
Health Insurance
OU can buy Health Insurance now.
Several good "Accident"
Companies sell it. '
Sixty dollars per year will
bring you $25.00 per week, for every week
you are sick.
But, your time alone may be worth far
more than that. ,
And $200 per week might not pay for
your suffering. ;
That's why "Cascaret" Insurance, which
prevents Sickness, is worth ten times as
much money as other "Health" Insurance.
Yet "Cascaret" Insurance will cost you
less than Ten Cents a week.
That gives you a "Vest Pocket" Box to
carry constantly.
One tablet taken whenever you suspect
you need It will Insure you against 90 per
cent of all ether ills likely to attack you.
Because 90 per cent of these Ills begin
in the Bowels, or exist through poor
Nutrition.
Cascarets don't purge, don't weaken,
don't Irritate, nor upset you stomach.
No, they act like Exercise on the
Bowels, instead.
They stimulate the Bowel-Muscles to
contract and propel the Food naturally past
the little valves that mix Digestive Juices
with Food.
The time to take a Cascarat Is the very
minute you auspect you need one.
When you have a touch of Heart-burn,
Gas-belchlng, Acid-rising-in-throat, or a
Coming-on-Cold.
Carry the "Vest Pocket" Box ready for
business where it belongs, Just as you
would your Watch, Pocket-knlfo or Lead
pencil. It costs only I0 cents. At any druggist.
Be sure you get the genuine, made only
by the Sterling Remedy Company, and
never sold In bulk. Every tablet stamped
"CCC." 745
