HITCHCOCK TELLS
HERMANN'S DEEDS
Withholding of Report on the
Hyde-Benson Frauds
the Worst.
DEMAND FOR RESIGNATION
Mitchell Pleaded for Respite and
Got It Hitchcock's Secretary.
'ot Positive of Pacts Tan
ner on Benson Case.
On BOON I A X NEWS BUREAU, 'Wash
ington, March 12. The man who forced
Ringer Hermann to resign the office of
Land Commissioner and who was later
this city and in Portland, today was the
responsible for his Indictment, both in
principal witness against him in the
Criminal Court. Ex-Secretary Hitchcock
spent an hour- on the stand this after
noon, but during that entire time did not
once mention the destruction of the let
ter books for which Hermann Is being
tried. His entire testimony was Intend
ed to show why Herman was forced to re
sign. Mr. Hitchcock stated that there had
been strained relations between himself
and Herman for a good while before
Hermann's resignation was demanded.
He denounced Herman's extravagance in
authorizing the expenditure of $3000 in
extinguishing a forest fire in a California
reserve, notwithstanding Hermann's ex
planation that the fire was so serious as
to require the immediate employment of
200 or 300 men. He also condemned Her
mann for permitting clerks In his office
to make copies of Government maps for
sale to outside parties.
Holsinger Report Held Back.
His most serious criticism, however,
was in regard to the report of Special
Agent Holsinger, exposing the operations
of the Benson-Hyde land ring. Mr. Hitch
rock testified that in the latter part of
November. 1102, two or three days or a
week after the report reached the Land
Office, he heard of its existence (he dod
not remember how he had heard It) and
Immediately demanded that Hermann
submit 'the report to him, which was done.
He said he regarded it as a great derelic
tion of duty on the part of the Commis
sioner that he did not acquaint him
(Hitchcock) with the contents of the re
port immediately upon Its receipt.
December 13th following, ofter consulta
tion with the President, he sent for Her
mann and demanded his resignation. He
was not sure that In that conversation he
mentioned the Holsinger report, ,but rec
ollected merely having told Hermann that
In general there should be a change in
the way things were going In the Land
Office.
Mitchell Pleaded for Respite..
He had one or two subsequent conversa
tions with Hermann and finally the resig
nation was brought In by Senator Mitch
ell, who, in presenting it, asked that its
acceptance be deferred until after Har
mann's daughter was married.' Mitchell
also urged delay "on account of the ap
proaching Senatorial election." Mr. Hitch
cock did not explain what was meant by
tills.
"Was anything said in your conver
sation with Senthtor Mitchell about the
possibility of Herman's being dismissed-!"
United States Attorney
Baker asked.
"As 1 recollect it," said Mr. Hitch
cock, "about January 15, Senator Mit
chell came in, and I believe I then tild
him the matter of Herman's resigna
tion had been pending for a month
and. If it was not forthcoming imme
diately, a dismissal would result.'1
Suspended Benson's Entries.
On cross-examination attention was
called to the fact that Herman three
days after the receipt of the Holsinger
report, directed the chief of the proper
division of the Land Office to suspend
action on all applications made in
Hyde's name and ordered Investiga
tion of the whole case. This evidence
is important, for in the opening state
ment of the prosecution It was
charged that the Holsinger report was
held by Herman so long without ac
tion that it could be shown he was
covering up frauds. Today it was
proved that the report was received
by the Land Office, November 18, 1902,
and on November 21 Hermann sus
pended entries and ordered further in
vestigation of the onarges made by
J. H. Schneider, upon whose testimony
tho report was based. The report
showed on Its face that It was opened
by the mailing division and referred
to the proper subordinate officers and
did not go to Herman direct
Two letters written by Hermann to
Mr. Holsinger prior to his report were
Introduced to show that Herman had
ordered investigation of the charges
against Benson and Hyde that were
made by Schneider and that all this
was prior to the time the Secretary
knew of the facts. It was also shown
that it was not customary for Land
Commissioners to refer to secondary
reports of special agents.
Scott SmthiXot Positive.
Mr. Hitchcock was followed by
Scott Smith, his former private secre
tary, who corroborated the Secretary's
testimony, particularly with regard to
the Incidents attending the demand
for Hermann's resignation. His testi
mony was much less positive than
what ho gave at Portland last Sum
mer in the Blue Mountain case, and
he today showed repeated evidences of
bad memory, especially when pressed
by counsel for the defense.
The testimony of Mr. Hitchcock and
Mr. Smith was expected to be rather
sensational. As a matter of fact It de
veloped little that was not known be
fore, and the denfendant appeared well
pleased when his biter enemies had
concluded their testimony.
Hermann closely watched both Mr.
Hitchcock and Mr. Smith while on the
stund, scarcely removing his eyes from
them. On the other hand, both witnesses
Ignored Hermann entirely and gave no
sign of recognition.
The court Is anxious to hurry along the
trial, but it is now evident that the case
will go well Into next month. The Gov
ernment is summoning more witnesses
from Oregon.
Tanner Tells of $500 Fee.
Judge Tanner, former law partner of
the late Senator Mitchell, was called this
morning. Tho T'nited States Attorney
brought out the fact that the firm prac
ticed extensively before the Land Office
in expediting cases, etc Requested to
name some of their clients, the witness
mentioned John A. Benson, of Califor
nia, who. he said, paid a fee of $500 for
1-K1 services In connection with a case
involving lands In Washington.
Objection by the defense to the line of
evidence being sought from Tanner
brought out the statement by the t'nited
States Attorney that it was expected to
show, fcy documentary evidence that Her
mann must have known Mitchell was not .
acting solely as Senator from Oregon
when land cases for residents of other
states were brought by him before the
department. The objection was renewed
on the ground that there was nothing to
indicate that Hermann knew Senator
Mitchell was acting as paid counsel before
the department for outside parties, and
Justice Stafford ruled for the defense,
thus excluding a letter written by Ben-
son.
Benson Offered Fee First.
Subsequent questioning developed the 1
fact that Benson voluntarily promised the
firm a fee of $500 if early action was se- :
cured on his land case, and the charge '
stated was not made by Mitchell and ,
Tanner. Tanner added that the $500 fee ,
paid by Benson was placed with, the re- '
ceipts of the firm of Mitchell & Tanner ;
and was divided between himself and
Mitchell at the end of the month.
M. J. McVean, a former clerk in the
Land Office, identified many letters relat
ing to the creation of the Blue Mountain
reserve, besides explaining the methods ;
of bookkeeping in the forest division of
the Land Office, wherein a complete
record of this correspondence was set
forth.
AMERICAN WORDS MADE
(Continued from First Pace.)
of the West in early days of history,
had such a fashion of framing fictitious
checks, notes and bills of exchange,
playing on the credulity of traders,
that anything in the line of forged
paper became to the Westerner "bor
ghese" or bogus, and so the- name has
remained.
David Bowie, of early pioneer fame,
invented a broad-blded, sharp-pointed
knife which has since borne his name.
Whence Came Buncome.
Buncome County, North Carolina,
has lent Its name to the country's vo
cabulary, and is a synonym of hypocriti
cal enthusiasm, not because that Is a
characteristic of the people of .that sec
tion, but because many years ago a
member of Congress from Buncome
County persisted In making a speech
when a general exodus of the members
showed they didn't want to hear It.
When tt was Intimated that he might
as well stop, he replied:
"Never mind, I'm talking to Bun
come." The word in its new sense was first
applied to the speeches that were made ,
in Congress for the express purpose or
being sent home to the admiring con
stituents, and later received its pres
ent . application.
The word that la most typically
American in its coinage and use Is pos
sibly "graft." Like many other popu
lar things, this name came out of the
JI1LU LUe liMICUage UIIU UU31U1U3 Ut uro
people. Its origin is not definitely
known, for, though it first appeared in
print in the writings of the late "Josiah
Flynt" Willard when he went "Tramp
ing with Tramps," he never claimed
the word as his own, and authorities
show that it was known in the West
before he ever used it.
Another purely American term is
"O. K." It was derived from the words
Aux Cayes. from which place the best
tobacco and rum were brought over a
century ago. The pronunciation was
O. K., and brevity-loving America Im
mediately took the letters as a means I
of indorsing other things that were as
satisfactory as the tobacco and rum ,
from Aux Cayes. Enemies of Andrew !
Jackson have tried to prove that the
magical letters were nothing more than. ,
the Initials of "Oil Korrect," the alleged
fashion of the General's spelling. This
theory, however, has been disproved.
Barbecue, "From Snout to Tall."
Barbecue, a method of preparing
meat that has lent its name to all-day
picnics in the south, is said to be from
toe French barbe-a-queue, "from snout
to tall." Others say -that America bor
rowed the name from the Indians of
Guiana, who grilled their meats on a
wooden frame called berbekot. The
Southerners are willing to accept either
origin of the word, so long as the art
of preparing meat In this manner Is not
forgotten. Nobody cares to go further
back than Kentucky or Tennessee for
the origin of the word "toddy," which
Is as American as the drink Itself.
The name "Polly" for a parrot was
brought from New Orleans by early
fiat-boatmen, who went from the Cum
berland and Ohio countries down the
Mississippi to sell their produce. They
saw these tropical birds swinging In
front of Louisiana homes, and heard
the owners call the birds, "parle.
parle," meaning "talk, talk." When
the travelers returned home and told
of the strange birds, they called them
pollles."
The word schooner, as applied to
a sailing vessel, came from New Eng
land, where it was coined by a Glou
cester boatman in 1713. A new ves
sel was launched, and one of the work
men cried out in great admiration:
"See how she scoons," meaning skim
ming along. The owner grasped the
word and called the boat a "scooner,"
or "schooner," as It Is now spelled.
Words Borrowed From Spain.
The Spaniards loaned many words
to the vocabularies of settlers In the
Southwest. The first gold discovery
In California was called a bonanza,
from the Spanish word meaning "good
luck." Broncho is Spanish-American
for a mustang, but broncho-busting is
purely American in its origin and ap
plication. Cayuse is also Spanish, as
Is calaboose, a provincialism for the
town lockup. Chapparral the only
vegetation on the long stretches of
desert region In the West, gets Its
name from the same land that gave
pueblo, sombrero and the lariat to this
language. Guerilla is also of Spanish
origin.
The black mammy of the South will
bake you a corn-dodger at your re
quest, and know you are Southern
born. The impression will be the same
If you ask for pone. The latter word
is of pure Indian manufacture, coming
direct from Powhatan himself, who
called it "pohn"' when speaking to
the men of Captain Smith's party.
Mugwump is another Indian word
which has been removed from its prim
itive dignity. It meant a chief among
the old Algonquins. Eliot used it in
his Indian bible as a synonym for
centurion, or captain. Political parties
borrowed tt in 1872 as a term of deri
sion for Republicans who had deserted
to vindicate certain principles. Whlg
ginggin Is the name applied by Indian
hunters and American trappers to the
written permission to hunt game in
the Northwest. The origin of the word
is unknown. It sounds as If it had been
fathered by a jag.

WOULD END TREATY
Roosevelt Tells California
Effect of Action.
ON JAPANESE EXCLUSION
Gillett Sends Dispatches to Legisla
ture and Advises Nothing Be
Done Roosevelt Promises
to Secure Exclusion.
SACRAMENTO, Cal.. March 12. The
telegraphic correspondence between Gov
ernor Gillette and President Roosevelt on
the subject of the proposed anti-Japanese
legislation by the Legislature was today
submitted to that body by the Governor.
The Governor on March sent the follow
ing dispatch to the President:
A bill Is now pending- In our Legislature to
submit to the voters two years from now the
question as to whether or not Japanese labor
shall be excluded from this country. Will
th passage of this bill interfere with any of
your plans or make it more difficult for you
to accomplish what you have undertaken to
do in the way of Japanese exclusion. Please
answer at once, as our Legislature is desir
ous of knowing concerning It.
Would End Negotiations.
The President replied:
I thank you for your kind and prompt at
tention to my request. Passage of a bill for
submission to voters of California whether
Japanese laborers shall be excluded would in
terfere with my plans and make it more dif
ficult for me to accomplish through the Na
tional Government what I am trying to do
In the way of Japanese labor exclusion.
The assumption of power by the voters of
California to settle this question, If assented
to by the National Government, would Imme
diately end all my negotiations with Japan
for friendly adjustment, because to negotiate
a settlement we must have power to settle,
while on the other hand California cannot ne
gotiate a treaty under the constitution.
' Nation Alone Can Exclude.
It is, however, perfectly clear that under the
constitution only the National Government
can settle the question of exclusion, and such
a votex of California as is proposed would
have to be treated as entirely nugatory, while
It would probably be regarded by those op
posed to exclusion as an attempt to ignore
the constitutional power of the United 8tates
and exclude Japanese In defiance of their
treaty rights to come In.
I earnestly deprecate the passage of any
legislation affecting the Japanese. The Na
tional Government has the matter in hand
and can In all human probability secure the
result that California desires, while at the
same time preserving unbroken the friendly
relations between the United States and Japan.
I have the interest of California most deeply
at heart. .1 shall strive to accomplish for
California, as for other states or sections of
this country, van-thins; that can conserve

its honor and interest. Any such action as
that you mention would hamper the National
Government to secure for California what only
the National Government can secure.
Gillette Advises Inaction.
In his message transmitting these tele
grams the Governor says:
I understand It is not the intention of the
Legislature to pass at this session any meas
ure whatever affecting the Japanese, I be
lieve this to be excellent judgment on the
part of the Legislature, because to do so, as
suggested by the President, might interfere
with and hamper the National Government
in making proper treaties with Japan and
bringing about the result which California
deslreev to-wit: Japanese exclusion.

you because I desire that yon shall know
before adjournment the views entertained by
him at this time upon this all-Important ques
tion. WILL CARRY OUT AGREEMENT

This dispatch means that the Board of
Education tomorrow will pass a resolu
tion in conformity with the agreement
reached at Washington. The suit referred
ito is the one instituted by the Federal
Government to enforce the rights of Jap
anese children. The following reply to
the Mayor's telegram came from Wash-

First, that this is the ship with a speed
on natural draught of about 22 knots,
which is better than any of our own cruis
ers can do; was turned out from a Jap
anese shipyard by Japanese workmen,
who are just beginning naval construc
tion, yet the ship is perfect in every de
tail; and, second, that the vessel was un
der commission and on the high seas
within two years from the date her keel
was laid down in Japan. No such, speed
of construction as this has ever been at
tained In American shipyards, and the
best British record, namely, the Dread
naught, is only slightly better than that
made by the Japanese In the building of
the Tsukuga.
EXPECT RETURN OF CASH
Detectives Think Treasury Money

CHICAGO, March 12. A new field In
the investigation of the Bubtreasury
robbery 13 being explored by the Fed
eral authorities. It was suggested that
some banking institution of Chicago
needed a large sum to tide over tem
porary difficulties, and is responsible
for the disappearance of the J173.000.
The Secret Service operatives. It be
came known yesterday, are working on
the theory that the money that disap
peared from the cage of Assorting Tel
ler George W. Fitzgerald on February
20 was borrowed for a day or two at
the instance of a tottering institution
by some employe who now fears to re
store It.
Chief Wllkie and Captain Porter
would not be surprised, it is asserted
on the highest authority, If the missing
money were to be restored any day.
In pursuance of this theory, the
financial status of more .than one bank
ing institution In Chicago has been
quietly Investigated.
