Hough's Evidence Causes Sav
age Attack by the Dis
trict Attorney.
HIS VERACITY QUESTIONED
Buker Says Private Secretary's Tes
timony Conflicts With Story Pre
viously . Told Muller Tells v
of Destroying Books.
OREGONTAN' NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 28. The prosecution in the
trial of Representative Hermann con
sumed today la a futile attempt to break
down the evidence given yesterday by
Eliott P. Hough, former private secre
tary to the defendant, which was most
favorable to Hermann. Hough had been
put on the stand by the prosecution with
the expectation that his testimony would
he damaging to the defendant and DIs
triot Attorney Baker was incensed that
he should give evidence so much in Her
tntan'a favor as his statements yester
day that Hermann and John A. Benson,
I who i under indictment for alleged land
frauds, vere not good friends; that, if
official leiters got into Hermann's pri
vate books, it was through his fault; and
..that i had been, the custom of all out
going Commissioners previous to Her
mann's time to take their private letter
press copybooks with them.
Savagely Attacks Hough.
Mr. .Maker was savage in his attack
on Mr. Houg-h.
"I claim that he is a hostile witness,"
he said. "We declare that this witness
has offe.red testimony on the stand de
cidedly at variance with his statements
on other occasions, and we claim the
right to examine him to test the relia
bility of his evidence."
Mr. Worthington. for the defense, ob
jVctedh but Justice Stafford permitted
'questioning, after being assured by the
prosecution that Mr. Hough had been put
on the stand by the Government, relying
upon statements previously made by Mr.
T lough, which his evidence now contra
dicted. When the District Attorney attempted
to make Mr. Hough contradict his own
testimony, Mr. Hough's memory became
faulty and he could recollect nothing
damaging to Hermann. When Mr. Baker
finished with Hough, Mr. Worthington
'asked him:
Xot Paid to l-'avor Hermann.
"Have you received any compensation
or benefit or promise of either from Her
mann or by anyone representing him, as
reward for any testimony you might give
at this trial?"
"No. sir." Mr. Hough answered.
Mr. Hough testified that when he be
came private secretary to Commissioner
1-imoreaux. he found in the private sec
retary's desk personal letter copybooks of
the previous Commissioner. Thomas K.
Carter. He said that by direction of some
superior officer he sent the books to Mr.
Carter. Mr. Hough said he could not re
member who gave him the order to send
the books to Mr. Carter, but the order
must have come from either the Com
missioner,, the Assistant Commissioner or
the chief clerk who were his superiors in
office.
How Books AVere Destroyed.
Christian H. Muller and Alexander E.
Foster, who had been messengers in the
I.and Office under Hermann and who de
stroyed the letterpress copybooks by his
direction., testllied to the part they had
played. Mr. Muller received an order
from Hermann three weeks before the
latter retired to take the letterbooks,
about 55 in number, from Hermann's pri
vate room into the corridor, where he
and Mr. Foster tore the leaves out and
l'Cturned the covers to Hermann's room.
Later, by Hermann's order. Mr. Muller
threw the covers away. No effort was
made to conceal what was being done.
No system was followed in tearing out
the leaves, many coming out entirely.
lmlf Th Inat'M urp nlucfi in n waste
paper basket, which was sent to a spe
cial scrap-room and emptied. A con
tractor cleared this room, jut how often,
Mr. Muller could not say.
Leaves May Still K.ttst.
"For all you know, the leaves may be
(till in that room?" suggested Mr. Wor
thington. Mr. Muller admitted that this might be
so. Muller said that he had occasion to
go into Hermann's private omce often
and had copied many letters in the de
stroyed books.
When Hermann was Commissioner,
witness said, he was chief messenger, and
he described the methods of distributing
incoming mail, saying the Commissioner
Kave orders that all mall from Oregon
tihould be placed on his desk. Mr. Muller
aid he often copied Hcrmann'.s mail after
it had been signed, but he could not re
member when he had taken letters upon
the "blue paper" of the Commissioner's
private office to any one of the divisions
of the Land OflVe, there to be made a
matter of record.
At the conclusion of Mr. Muller's tes
timony the trial was continued until
Monday.
CALLED DOWN THE KAISER
Iioosevelt Forced Him to Yield at
Algcciras Conference.
NEW TORK, Feb. 2S. A Paris spe
cial to the Times says that some sur
prising: statements in regard to the re
cent Algeciran crisis and the course
taken with respect to it by President
Roosevelt and others will be made In
next Friday's issue of the Revue des
.Deux Mondes by Andre Jardieu, foreign
editor of the Temps.
M. Jardieu deals with the period be
tween January 2t and February 19,
J 90S, when the representatives of
France and Germany at Algcciras found
it more and more Impossible to come
to terms. Count Wltte had appealed to
Umperor William to give France proof
of jii" conciliatory spirit by accepting
the solution offered by her. The Em
peror positively refused. At the same
time President Boosevolt's energetic ef
forts were equally unavailing.
M. Jardieu says Emperor William
himself telegraphed to President
Roosevelt to assure him that the Aus
trian scheme was regarded as excellent
at Algeciras, that it was approved by
England, Russia and Japan, and that it
was the duty of the United States to
urge France to accept it. In a second
telegram Emperor William denounced
the French colonial ambitions and ap
petites. Finally he sent a third telegram af
firming explicitly that Russia. Italy.
JCngland and Spain had abandoned
HERMANN
France, and that the United States
alone supported her. The Emperor said
that the Interests of peace required
that the United States accept the Aus
trian scheme and force French consent
According: to M. Jardieu's story. Pres
ident Roosevelt in reply to the Emper
or'd three telegrams sent three cate
gorical refusals to accept his views.
The President not only declared the
Austrian scheme unacceptable, but af
firmed that if the Monroe Doctrine had
not prevented his intervention he would
have actively combated the scheme as
being the beginning; of the division of
Morocco by means of spheres of in
fluence. Mr. Roosevelt, moreover, reminded
the Emperor that he stick to bis own
project. He added that France had
made a great concession in accepting
the inspection and that It now be
hooved Germany to recognize it.
The final compromise agreement
reached at Algeciras was proposed by
Austria. It was a very different propo
sition from the first plan suggested by
the Austrian delegates, and though it
was introduced by them it was general
ly understood that it originated with
Ambassador Wnite, one of the Ameri
can delegates. It is the first Austrian
plan that is referred to in the Paris
dispatch.

Chicago Oirl Quits Shanghai Mission
to Marry Farmer.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28. The voice of Cupid
calling: 12.000 over land and sea has been
heeded by a Chicago girl, who was teach
ing in a mission school in Shanghai,
China, and as the result a courtship car
ried on by letter for more than two
years was followed by a wedding in Chi
cago last night.
Miss Flora LaFriencer, the young wo
man in the romance, was married to
John Phillips at the residence of her
tatner, f. M. LaFriencer. The ceremony
was performed by Professor Nathan But
ler, of the University of Chicago, who is
a Baptist preacher. Miss LaFriencer
gave up her position and traveled half
way around the world for the wedding.
Miss LaFriencer went to China in Jan
uary. 1903, to take the position of kin
dergarten teacher in Miss Jewell's mis
sion school. The pupils were the children
of English residents there. Miss La
Frlencer was in Shanghai at the time
of the riots, a year. ago last December,
and barely escaped with her life.
Mr. and Mrs. Phillips will leave today
for Iroquois, S. D., where Mr. Phillips
has a ranch and where they will reside.
