THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 190T. SCHNEIDER TIKES IMMUNITY BATH Man Who Informed on Hyde and Benson Gives Little Evidence. LETTERS SENT HERMANN Zabriskie First Warned Him ot Vrauds and He Objected to In forming Hitchcock Hawley Testifies to deputation. fIRKGOXlA.V NEWS BUREAU, Wash ftiuton, March 13. Joost H. Schneider, the man whose alleged confession to Sppoial Agent Holzlnger disclosed to the Federal authorities the vast land frauds in Oregon and California, was called to the stand today as a witness for the prosecution In the case of Btnger Her mann. In view of the sweeping charges which Holzlnger reported Schneider had made to him. it was expected that he would make some startling revelations of the methods used by the alleged land conspirators in securing big tracts of public land. Instead, however. Schneider, wrapped in the mantle of his constitu tional privilege, refused to answer ques tions propounded to him by District At torney Baker on .the ground that to answer would incriminate him. Schneider Is under Indictment for land frauds, being one of the defendants In the Hyde-Benson-chnelder-Dlmond case and Justice Stafford ruled that Schneider need not respond to Mr. Baker's In quiries. Before invoking his privilege. Schneider identified his signature to letters offered by the prosecuting attorney addressed to him by Hermann, in which reference was made to other correspondence. The prosecutor asked if Schneider had writ ten any letters to Hermann prior to the date of the letters from Hermann to him. Schneider declined to answer on the ground that he would be giving testi mony against himself. The witness was then discharged, his examination of more than half an hour having proven of no value to eithpr side. How Hermann Learned of. Frauds. Karllcr in the day, while the District Attorney was endeavoring to find out what had become, of the letters which first apprised the Land Office of the land frauds, A. S. Worthington. chief counsel for Hermann, produced the letters and admitted that they had been kept by Hermann and had never been in the Land Office flies. Mr. Worthlngton gave the letters to Mr. Baker, who had them read to the Jury. They were written April 29 and May 11 1902. by J. A. Zabriskie, a lawyer ot Tucson, Arix.. who is now Judge. In them Judge Zabriskie gave ex plicit information as to the transactions of F. A. Hyde & Co.; and suggested what the department should do in the matter. The writer explained that his information had been received from a client. This client, he said, he was trying to protect. ,The Holzinger investigation and report uncovering gigantic operations In public land followed the receipt of the Zabriskie letters. Willis C. Hawley. of Salem. Hermann s successor in Congress, this afternoon tes tified that Hermann still holds a good reputation in Oregon. The general opin ion in that state. Mr. Hawley said, was :hat Hermann in his whole official career iiad never done anything with a wrong ful motive. Hermann Kent Bracts to Himself. W. O. McGee. a clerk in the Land Office inee 1SS9. testified that he was contest clerk in the special service division at the time Mr. Holzlnger- report was re ceived at the department. He was the lrst man to get hold of it and imme diately took it to Hermann, to whom he read it. He and Hermann then discussed the report. Hermann asking him what he thought about it. He said he told Her mann that, if the statements made in the report were true, they disclosed the most illgantic frauds in the history of the Land Office and that he thought the Sec retary of the Interior should be Informed of the presence of the report in the of lice. At this, he said. Hermann took um brage, declaring that he was Commis sioner and that he would attend to what ever investigation wag to be made. Her mann ordered him to write to Holainger to gather additional details. Mr. McGee said he left the report that night with Assistant Commissioner Rich ards, got it back next morning and soon thereafter turned it over to Hermann. He lid not see it again. BITTER WITH MRS. THAW (Continued rrom First Pae.) Hummel about her trip through Europe with Thaw. "Mr. Hummel,' she said, "then dictated Jt lot of thing's to a man and put In lots about Harry Thaw which was not true ftt all.' Ponies Knowing What She Signed. she d fntcd signing1 any paper In Hum mers office, but admitted having signed pome papers later in White's studio. She said she- did not know what the papers were. nie time afterward, she says, she demanded that White show her the pa per. She was taken to Hummers office and there a paper bearing her signature whs shown Iut and destroyed. She was not allowed to examine it. she declared. Almost since the beaming of the trial Mr. Jerome has been trying to put in a photographic copy of the affidavit. It de veloped yesterday that the copy was made by the same photographer who had been employed -by Stanford White to make the "tired butterfly" and other pictures of Kvelyn Nesbit. Mr. Jerome continue quite optimistic about bringing the taking of testimony to a close this week, but others who have followed the trial believe the end is still ten days or two wee,ks away. 1 Ul'ClAIi POINT IS REACHED Jerome Tries to Prove Mrs. Thaw Never Told Her Story. NEW YORK. March 1.1. James Clinch Smith. Stanford White's broth er-in-law. was called again as a wit npBS In the. Thaw trial this morning. Mr. Smith was late in arriving and Mr. Jerome summoned Abraham Hummel to the stand. Scarcely had Hummel taken his scat when Smith appeared. There upon Hummel was temporarily ex cused. Mr. Smith was questioned by Mr. Del mas for the defense as to the cable gram from Mr. Jerome summoning him to appear as a witness. Air. Mnun said., lie did not -have either" the original of tho cablegram or a copy. X remember th-Q message it read; Your evidence most important; your attendance desired.' " He had first communicated this evi dence to his lawyers. Mr. Smith said he returned to this country on February 17 and communi cated with the District Attorney's of fice on the 19 tli. He had reduced to writing his conversation with Thaw upon the roof garden and had shown the memoranda to his counsel and Mr. Garvan. Mr. Delmas had no further questions, and Mr. Smith was excused. Mr. Hummel again took the stand. He had testified before the arrival of Mr. Smith that he saw Evelyn Nesbit at his office October 27, 1903, after her return from Europe. "Did you. after a conversation with Kvelyn Nesbit, on October '27, dictate something to a stenographer?" asked Jerome. Delmaa objected upon the ground that this was not in rebuttal of any testimony offered by the defense. Justice Fitzgerald overruled the ob jection. "Yes. sir," answered the witness. Jerome Soon Strikes Snag. "Did Mrs. Thaw tell you that Thaw wanted to injure White and put him in the penitentiary and that Thaw begged her time and again to swear to docu ments he had prepared Involving Stan ford White and charging that he had drugged and ruined her, and that Thaw had beaten her because she would not sign the paper?" asked Je rome. Delmas rose to lay the ground for an objection. He asked Hummel if at the time of the conversation with Miss Nesbit he was acting as her legal adviser and attorney. "No, I was acting only for Stanford White," replied the witness. "And you didnot contemplate some action in Miss Nesbit's behalf?' "No, there was no legal action con templated so far as she was concerned. There was no communication between the witness and Miss Nesbit as counsel and client- "i must object." said Delmas, "to the question, upon the ground that it is not proper rebuttal." Before the court could rule, Delmas put further questions to the witness which had reference to the payments he received from Stanford White for legal services. The amount paid for this particular item of service, witness said, was about $100. Delmas renewed his general objection. "It is not rebuttal, said Delmas. "It Is also Immaterial and irrelevant and not proper testimony." Mr. Jerome proceeded to argue the points of law involved. Mr. Jerome's contention was that, if it could be shown that under oafh Miss Nesbit de nied that she told Thaw the stories about Stanford White which she testi fied to having told him In Paris, that fact must have weight with the jury ln deciding whether she had in truth made the statement related in her testimony and which has been the ba sis of the theory that the defendant is insane. Either Heroine or Perjurer. 'If her story is true." continued Mr. Jerome. "I know nothing In history or literature more sublime than Evelyn Nesbit's self-sacrifice in her renuncia tion of the love of the man who, we are told, was paying honorable court to her. 'But she returned to America on Oc tober 24 and on October 27 she was in Hummers office with the man who she now says ruined her and there she said that in Europe Thaw had stripped her and beaten her with a whip be cause she refused to sign a paper ac cusing White of drugging her. Stan ford White, she said, never harmed her. 'The proposition I make to the court is very simple. If Evelyn Nesbit did Cot tell Thaw this story in Paris, the reason for his insanity disappears. If she did not tell the story, the hypo thetical question on which the experts have based their opinion disappears. I contend that under the law I have a right to show that this woman made the statement outside of court, but un der oath, that she did not tell Thaw- would not agree to any such story as she has told here." May Wind Up Case Friday. Mr. Delmas said that, as the hour for the luncheon recess was approaching and as Mr. Jerome's argument necessi tated an extended reply, he would ask that the recess be taken immediately so that his argument might not be in terrupted. Mr. Jerome amended the motion by asking that court adjourn for the day, saying: "I am very desirous of getting through with this case and we could save time If we adjourn now until to morrow morning and in the meantime Mr. Delmas and myself can probably agree upon the wording of a hypo thetical question and thereby save time for the court which would otherwise be taken up by arguments and search ing through the records. "Unless Mr. Delmas takes up a long time in his cross-examination of the experts. I see no reason why the case should not be closed on Friday." Justice Fitzgerald ordered the ad journment until tomorrow morning. ROLLFBS MAY BUY IB HEAD OFFICERS OF NEW. SECT XEGOTIATE FOR CITT. Purchase Depends on Whether City or Farm Colony Be Formed. Zionist Ready to Give Vp. CHICAGO. March 13. (Special.) Zion City may become the abode of the Holy Rollers. Correspondence to that end has been carried on for three weeks between D. Ij. McKay, of Windsor, secretary to Mother Elinor I. Mason, spiritual head of the sect in America, and W. G. Voliva. who succeeded Dowie as the ruler of Zion. "The price demanded for Zion City is of no moment as far as the financial ability of the House of Israel to purchase it is concerned," said Trustee Dickinson In Detroit, headquarters of the sect. "Whether we purchase it or not de pends entirely upon the question as to whether it fs deemed advisable that the colonies shall enter into city commercial activities or whether they shall become farmers and till the soil. Many members prefer the establishment of farm coli nies." With their leader dead, their city torn by bitter dissension and overwhelmed by debts, the Zionites would welcome an op portunity to sell for enough to get away.

There is, however, it is said, an unwritten reservation to the effect that, should the President's reciprocal promises to the board regarding discre tionary restriction of collie Immigration to California not be carried out, the board may feel at liberty to re-adopt the October resolution and again segergate the Japanese.

(Continued from First Page.) carried on with surplus funds, but these pre exhausted and we cannot borrow In New York, because of the tightening up of the money market there. Conditions are changing rapidly and it is necessary to anticipate what may come next year. The suspension of this work does not necessarily mean abandonment. If the Government or states were guaranteeing our bonds, things would be different." Mr. Mohler emphatically indorsed the statement made by President Stickney. of the Chicago-Great Western in his inter view at Washington, in which he ex pressed the belief that the people were laying the foundation for a tremendous panic Mr. Stickney approved the actions of the President, so far as he had gone. but said the state Legislatures were vying with each other to pass laws regulating rates and methods of the railroads and that many of them will be forced into bankruptcy if the present attitude of the people continues. HILL PREDICTS HIGHER RATES Says Present Conditions Would Soon Bankrupt Railroads. ST. PAUL. March 13. "I want to go on record here that your rates will be ad vanced in the Northwest instead of being reduced. They will be advanced simply because it is necessary to provide the service. Now I am not complaining about the rates, but present conditions will bankrupt some of the roads in this state." Thus declared J. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern, before the Sundberg Senate committee, which is investigating the value of railroad properties in the state. Mr. Hill said the company had adopted the method of reducing rates as the revenue has justified, and an inves tigation of the records would show that its rates, especially on grain and farm products, are lower than in other sec tions of the country. Great Northern rates applied to Vnion Pacific traffic would mean a reduction in the Vnion Pa cific income of nearly JS.OU0.000 and in the case of the Northwestern of nearly that amount. Asked by James Manahan if it were true that the lines In the East have not been making enormous profits recently, Mr. Hill replied that he did not thlnk so. ia saidHhe whole Question ot operation will be on a different basis; the cost has increased so much that he knew of an Eastern line which had advanced rates. "I think all of the railroads of the country ' today have ' received a check they will not get over for many, many years," he asserted. CO-OPERATE ENFORCING LAW Fink Admits Obedience of Railroads Necessary to Peace. NEW YORK. March 13. Henry Fink, chairman of the board of directors of the Norfolk & Western Railroad, who has been in active railroad service for 56 years, and George J. Gould, added their voices yesterday to those who have spoken for co-operation between the rail roads, the Government and the public. Mr. Fink said: "The thing has got to be gone through making the people see the facts In the case. The idea has been heretofore that the railroad men have been too busy to explain the complicated railroad problem to the people on the one hand and the people have been too busy to study it for themselves on the other hand. "There are, however, two ail Important things In this matter of co-operation. Congress must not only pass wise laws, but the railroads must obey them both in letter and spirit, without attempting an evasion, and must co-operate in their enforcement. That is the only way In which co-operation can be put on & satis factory basis between the railroads and the Government. , George J. Gould, In his statement, said: "The interests of the railroads and those of the public are Identical, and they always have been so. Sometimes the public and sometimes the railroads fail to realize the fact, but it is never theless true that their interests are one and the same. "If the railroads are making money, the public is pretty sure to be making money, too, while, on the other hand, if the rail roads are not prospering, the case is pretty sure to be the same." BR VAX EXPLAINS THE CRISIS Says Railroads Terrorize Legisla tures and Water Stock. . BTXGHAMPTON. N. Y.. March 13, A representative of the Associated Press to day asked William J. Bryan on his ar rival here what effect the Harriman and other investigations would have on the agitation in favor of the Government own ership or management of railroads. He replied: "The most interesting phase of the situ ation is the refusal of the people to lend money freely to the railroads. The rail road managers say this is due to hostile legislation, but this is a mistake. There has been no hostile legislation of suf ficient severity to impair the real value of railroad securities, if the railroads have been honestly conducted upon an honest capitalization. "If the investing public is alarmed, it is because the railroad managers. In a vain effort to terrorize the legislatures, have carried matters too far. If any other reason is needed for the hesitancy on the part of investors, the investigations furnish it, for the inquiries have shown to what extent railroad stocks have been watered. "But what is the alternative? Must the Government refuse to investigate rotten management for fear the mismanaged railroads no longer will be able to fool the public into buying inflated securities? The sooner the railroads are put on an honest "basis the more secure will the in vesting public feel.' SLOWER AND FEWER TRAINS Railroads Plan to Offset Ix by Two-Cent Fares. CHICAGO. March 13. The Record Her ald today says: Western railroad officials are discussing the advisability of lengthening out the running time of fast trains with a view to greater economy of operation. It is stated that owing to 2-cent pas senger legislation and the necessity of conserving revenue everywhere, the West ern officials believe a general lengthen ing in train schedules is advisable. It is said that all that remains to carry the plan into effect is an agreement as to the time it is advisable to make. Tentative schedules are being prepared by several roads with a view to presentation to the meeting. Although an understanding has been reached, there is a general feeling that the time of the fast trains between Chi cago and Omaha and Kansas City Ghould be lengthened by about two hours, the time of the fast trains between Chicago and Denver by five or six hours, and the time of the fast trains between Chicago and the Pacific Coast, by nearly half a day. The saving In expense by such a re arrangement of schedules would result in reducing the running cost of trains affected, and would also make It pos sible to take off a large number of local trains. Morgan Sails for Europe. NEW YORK. March 13. J. Pierpont Morgan sails this morning for Liverpool on the steamer Baltic. Mr. Morgan went aboard the steamer last evening, which was scheduled ' to sail early today. Mr. Morgan declined to be interviewed on his Washington mission, and refused to state what would be accomplished by the rail road men's conference with President Roosevelt. He sent out word that he did not care to add anything to his Washing ton statement. It is not known definitely how long Mr. Morgan will be gone. Two-Cent Fares In Keystone State. HARRISBURG, Pa., March 13. The Senate railway committee today report ed favorably the 2-cent railroad fare bill, which passed the House two weeks ago.

Rear-Admiral Swinburne will be commander of the second squad ron and Rear-Admiral I. H. Dayton will command the third squadron. At present the warships In the Pacific are . organized into the Asiatic fleet and the Pacific squadron. Their consolidation is in accordance with the Navy Depart ment's policy instituted by the abolition of the South Atlantic and European stations in the Atlantic and the concen tration of ail vessels in that ocean under one command. In a statement from the Navy Depart ment it is shown that the groups of ships in the Pacific will remain In the same general position and perform much the same duty they have at present. They will, however, probably meet for gen eral drills and exercises. As far as is practicable, docking and minor repairs to vessels in Asiatic waters will be made at Cavite or Olangapo. The department does not expeet to send any of the bat tleships now in the Atlantic to the Pa cific. The first squadron of the Pacific fleet will be made up of the following vessels: First division West Virginia, Colorado, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Second division Chattanooga, Galves ton and two others of -the same class. The second squadron will consist of these vessels: Third division Charleston, Milwaukee, St. IvOuis, Chicago. Fourth division Albany, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Raleigh. The third squadron will consist of: Fifth division Rainbow, Concord, Helena, Wilmington. Sixth division Volcano. Quiros. Villa lobos, Callao.

Tonight the local members of the International Typo graphical Union finally voted down the proposition of the Butte and Anaconda newspaper publishers that the compos itors return to work at last year's scale, which would mean a reduction 60 cents per man per day. When the pressmen struck one month ago tonight, the printers were necessarily locked out. Later, the pressmen were willing to arbitrate, but the publishers demanded that the com positors accept the 1906 scale, which the latter refused to do. After a couple of weeks of delay, the printers decided to arbitrate, but the publishers' demand was renewed and the question was finally disposed of tonight. This ac tion leaves the newspaper situation n'v'tt where It was 30 days ago, with no immediate prospect for a resump tion of dally paper service. PERSONALJVIENTION. Mr. Hy.
