HOW HE WORKED MITCHELL
Lonjf Flirtation AVIth Two $1000
Bills End In Acceptance and Pat- '
cnts Follow Tarpley Tells of
Hold-l'p by Senator Mays.
ORHGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 20. Oregon convicts occu
pied the limelight in the trial of Binger
Hermann today, while men under indict
ment played minor roles. S. A. D. Puter.
the Government's heavyweight witnes
was put on the stand this afternoon and
hepan the narration of his relations with
Hermann. In connection with land opera
tions that have subsequently turned out
to be fraudulent. His story was not
nearly concluded when court adjourned.
He will conclude tomorrow. Puter was
preceded by Ianiel W. Tarpley, who told
in considerable detail the manner in
which he, Horace G. MeKinley and F. P.
Mays attempted to "get .rich . quick"
through the absorption of land in the
Blue Mountain forest reserve.
The stories told by Puter and Tarpley
did not throw any new light on either
the Blue Mountain or the 11-7 land-fraud
cases, which were threshed out in Port
land.' But the stories of both men were
retold today to show their relations with
Hermann and to aid the Government in
. its efforts to show Hermann's motive for
, destroying the fateful letter-press copy
bonks. Before leaving the stand Tarpley ad
. mlttod that after his arrival in Washing
ton he was visited by Hermann's son-in-law
and associate counsel, H. P. Gatley,
and questioned as to whether he had ever
received letters from Hermann. This is
the third or fourth Government witness
so approached by Mr. Gatley.
. Puter's Story of His Deal.
Puter, who gave his address as Mult
nomah County Jail, Oregon, gave with
startling directness the full details of the
difficulties and cost which had attended
his efforts to obtain patents to 12 home
steads, now known as the "eleven-seven"
frauds In Oregon. He said he first
"rounded up' ten people and made an
. agreement to pay them $150 each to make
entries to the claims and turn over the
deeds to them. He then saw Dr. Loomis,
of the General Land Office, gave him $500
to make a favorable'report on the claims
and promised him a like amount when
the patents should be Issued. He also
endeavored to "fix things' with Ormsby,
the State Forester, by giving Ormsby's
son $."00.
After the Loomis report reached Wash
ington. Puter learned that something
was wrong, and decided to come at once.
Before leaving Oregon he got a letter of
Introduction to Senator Miteiiell from
T. P. Mays, of Portland. Puter said he
knew Mitchell, but 'asked Mays to write
a "strong" letter and indicate to the Sen
ator that. Puter would pay him well to
fix things up. He presented the letter to
the Senator on his arrival and also called
"on Hermann. The latter told him that
his matters were being looked into and
Indicated that things might be going
along all right. .
Mrs. 'Watson on Mitchell's Trail.
Mitchell visited Hermann and after sev
eral consultations It was decided addi
tional affidavits were necessary. It was
regarded as necessary to send for .Mrs.
Watsoru who had made one of the en
tries. - On her arrival, Puter said, he took
her at once to Mitchell and affidavits
were drawn up. Continuing, Puter said
that the next morning Mitchell took Mrs.
Watson and Puter to see Hermann, and
at this meeting the Senator told the Com
missioner about the affidavits and said
as soon as they were sworn to they would
be furnishe!. This formality, he said,
was attended to at the Senate, and
Mitchell advised Mrs. Watson to call fre
quently on Hermann. h
"You will find him a very agreeable
old man," he said, "and It will not do any
harm to call frequently."
Mrs. Watson called on Hermann several
times In the next three days, Puter .stat
ing that during these visits he waited
outside. It was abbut four days after the
affidavits had been furnished that he
called on Hermann and said he was sur
prised at being told that his claims all
needed more proof. Hermann advised him
to go back to Oregon and get his proof.
Those Two $1000 Bills.
Ptiter testified that he at once called
on Mitchell, who also advised the same
way. Puter said he told both Mitchell
and Hermann that.it was useless to do
this, that the people who had made the
entries were scattered. Besides, he said
further, if he did get them together, they
would hold him up for more than he had
first paid. He talked the matter over
with Mitchell for two hours, as the re
sult of which Mitchell went to see Her
mann that day. .
That night he called on Mitchell and
had another conference, he said, that he
took out two $1000 bills and laid them
on the table in front of Mitchell, saying
that this amount represented all that he
(Puter) could spend on the claims and
get out whole it he got patents. He tes
tified that he told Mitchell to take the
money and get the patents. He said
Mitchell took one of the bills and tossed
it over o Puter, saying that Puter could
not afford to spend so much. Puter said
he tossed the bill back and It passed sev
eral times in this way. Finally. Puter
testified. Mitchell took both bills and
kept them and said he would see what
could be done.
Hermann Issues Patents.
Mitchell called on Hermann that day
and then advised Puter to call on him.
This. Puter says, he did, and Hermann
told him that he thought things could be
arranged so that the patents would issue.
He said he had taken the matter up per
sonally. The witness testified that
Mitchell saw Hermann again the next
day. and later that day Puter met Her
mann. Hermann next shook hands with
blm. he said, stated he had seen Mitchell
many sights about the city.
A day or so later, Puter says, he
called at Hermann's office and was
taken to the basement of the' General
Land Office, where his patents were
being made out. He said he took the
trip for the West at once and. upon
reaching: Portland, after stopping for
a short time at his home in 'Berkeley,
Cal., found the patents waiting for
him. His total expense. Puter said,
had been $7,000 or $8,000. At thi
point in the story court adjourned for
the day.
Previous to the- testimony of Puter,
J. A. W. Heidecker, of Detroit. Or., de
scribed a trip he made as guide to
I.oomis, when the latter made the in
vestigation of ' the "seven-eleven"
claims. Before Loomis reached the
Puter claims, he fell from his horse I
and was injured. He did not go to
tne futer claims ana, wnen asaea n
he was not going, the witness testified
that Loomis said:
"I am a special agent of the Land
Office; mum's the word."
Held Up by Mays.
Tarpley, who has been convicted of
land frauds in Oregon, gave the details
of acquiring with Horace MeKinley
about 17,000 acres of school land in
what was later the Blue Mountain for
est reserve. F. P. Maya of Portland,
he said, had demanded part of this
land, tie said he offered to relinquish
lands to the value of $8000, but Mays
wanted more, saying that the amount
named would not go anything like far
enough in Washington. . He testified
that Mays threatened to nave his lands
"checker-boarded," if he did not give
up more money or land.
Witness said he had been called on
when he reached Washington February
9 by H. P. Gatley, one of Hermann's
counsel, and asked if he had any let
ters from Hermann. He had none.
Loomis Effort at Immunity.
Mr. -Worthington continued his ef
fort for the defense to ascertain
whether Dr. Clarke Loomis, of Oregon,
was Influenced in the testimony he
gave yesterday for the Government
by promises of immunity or believed
that he would receive immunity from
the charges now pending against him.
The witness said he had never had a
promise of Immunity, "but I am satis
fied I could obtain immunity," he. said.
He was allowed to give the details of
negotiations between himself and Pu
ter regarding immunity after the lat
ter's conviction for land frauds In Ore
gon. During a single day Puter went
six or seven times between the witness
and F. J. Heney, assistant to the At
torney General, and Secret Service
Agent Burns, in Portland, Loomis said,
to arrange for this immunity. The ef
forts failed, the witness stated, be
cause Mr. Heney wanted Loomis to
state to Puter what he knew before he
would let Loomis come before him.
Loomis said the gist of the matter was
that he repeated over and over again
to Puter that he did not know he knew
anything that the attorneys wanted,
but was very anxious to make any
arrangement possible for immunity. He
said he did not know that Puter con
ferred with the Government attorneys,
but certainly believed that he had.
Justice Stafford ended the inquiry
when the witness began to state what
Puter had told him as "not romingr
from the Government attorneys.".
Only Time He Was Bribed.
In his experience as Special Agent
for the Land Office in Oregon, Dr.
Loomis said the money he took to re
port favorably upon the 12 Puter
claims was the first and only time he
had taken money for reporting on
claims. ' He said he had not been in
fluenced in- this case by the money he
had received. The claims in question
were 12 homestead claims which Puter
had obtained In the Cascade forest re
serve. Mr. Worthington placed In evidence
a letter to Loomis from Hermann in
structing him to examine the 12 claims
and 33 others. His report to the de
partment, he said, was the same in all
cases.
"I never failed to give entrymen or
anyone in trouble all the chance to get
out I could," he said. He added that
he often made reports as Department
Agent without going upon the land re
ported on.

women drove up in wagons and, after
promenading before the House of Parlia
ment, attempted to storm the House of

drawn up for the occasion, awaited the
onslaught and drove the women back. Af
ter this first rebuff, the women made a
second determined attempt to penetrate
the police cordon, but all to no purpose.

lice employed against the women used as
little force as possible.

DENIES THEY VOTE STRIKE
Morrissejr Says Trainmen's Ballots
3iot Yet Counted.
CLEVELAND. March 20. J. P. Morrls-
sey, grand master of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, said today that there
was no truth in the report that the
trainmen employed on roads -west of Chi
cago had rejected the . wage scale recently
offered by the general managers of the
various lines and that the men had voted
to strike if their demands were not
granted.
Mr. Morrissey said that while it was
true that a vote was being taken upon
the offer of the managers, the result
could not be decided before next Tuesday.
The officials of the brotherhood today
express the opinion that a peaceful set
tlement of the wage question upon the
Western railroads will be reached.
. Whether or not trainmen on the Oregon
branches of the Harriman system will
walk out in compliance with a general
strike order from the heads of their
organization is still problematical. So far
as can be learned. It seems that the
Northwestern trainmen voted to strike.

no part in the quarrel between the I. W.
W. and the employers of the men be
longing to that organization.
"We were affiliated with all the Indus
trial Workers of the World," he said,
"but at the last convention a question
arose as to whether the federation should
continue with the I. W. W. The ques
tion is not settled, going over to the next
convention, so that the Western Federa
tion of Miners does not feel called upon
to take any active part in the present
controversy."
