THE MORXIXG OREGON IAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1907. 7 HERMANN'S THIRD DAY AS WITNESS Never Saw Benson After the Stormy Interview in San Francisco. DID NOT SUSPECT CLERKS Letter Denouncing Hyde-Benson Ter Seen Till Produced in Court Why He Retained Letters From Zabriskle. "WASHINGTON. April 5. The third day of Blnger Hermann's testimony In his trial for the destruction of certain letter-book while commissioner of the Gen eral Land Office, was beg: tin with a line of questions Intended to show that Her mann had no information or interest in the Hyde-sBeneon-Dlmond-Schnelder com bination. Hermann said he had never ween Benson after the stormy interview with him in San Francisco regarding: which he testified yesterday. The wlt rtes had no recollection of ever having met Hyde. Trusted Harlan and Valk. As to Harlan and Valk, clerks in the Iand Offlre, who hav testified t?4at they were at the same time in the employ of Benson. Hermann said he had no knowl edge or suspicion of such a condition. He Always had the utmost confidence in Harlan and - Valk. Regarding" the letter signed "Citizens of the United States," which described the operations of the Hyde-Benson combina tion, written In 1900 and placed in evi dence by the prosecution. Hermann said that he had never seen nor heard of It until It was produced In the court. The Indorsement of this letter in Valk's hand writing, "Honorable Commissioner, has Fen this twice." Herrman said was a mistake, as he had never seen the letter. Action on ZanrUkie Letters. The letters written by Mr. Zabriskle In 1903 to Hermann, in which the latter was informed of the Hyde-Benson operations, was the subject of extended testimony upon the part of the witness. He said he had known Mr. Zabriskle in California, and the facts disclosed In Mr. Zabriskle's letter were the first he had had regard ing the alleged fraudulent operations of the Hyde-Benson combination. He retained the Zabriskio letters for the purpose of preventing the "traitor In the office, whoever he might be," from knowing of the steps being takn to run down the frauds. Hermann took W. J. McGee into his confidence, Mr. McGee being an old employe of the office, and through him directed fecial Agent Hol elnger to make an Investigation of the Benson-Hyde operations. Hermann disclaimed acquaintance with the various Individuals connected with the alleged fraudulent land conspiracies In the West. Ho repeated his annual complaint against the operation of the lieu land law, as contained In his annual reports, which was read to the Jury by Attorney "Worthlngton. DREW WOMAN INTO PLOT Nicholas Explanation About Dia monds Killed by Her Evidence. CHICAGO, April 5. The state today sprang a surprise upon the defense in the trial of Leonard Leopold and How ard Nicholas, for the murder of Mrs. Marguerite Leslie, the actress. At the opening of court. Assistant State's Attorney Short called to the witness stand a tall, well-dressed woman who gave her name as Miss Phyllis Campbell, of Indianapolis. She testified that she had received from Nicholas about a week ago a letter In which he requested her to assume the name of "Grace Klmberlln.' She has known Nicholas for some time. Nicholas, while upon the stand, testi fied that be had loaned some money to a woman named Kimberlin, and that as security she had given him one of the diamonds which was found in his possession after the murder of Mrs. Leslie, and was supposed to have been stolen from her. Miss Campbell declared that she had rtever borrowed money from Nicholas and had never placed any diamonds in bis possession. Nicholas then took the stand In his own defense. He denied that he had ever asked Miss Campbell to assume the name of Kimberlin. but admitted having written her a letter. At the conclusion of his testimony the case was closed and the final arguments were begun. DEAL WITH THE PRESIDENT Vrlter of Threatening Letters Ac owed of Insanity. NETW TORK. April 5. Marcos Florea, who came here from San Antonio. Tex.. n arrested here today on a charge of wrltlnp letters to the TTnited States Pen sion Bureau threatening to "deal with rreatdent Roosevelt" unless action was taken on a certain pension application. After an examination before the magis trate. Flores was committed to Bellevue for examination as tn his sanity. For some time past the Pension Bureau has been receiving a series of rambling letters from this city, all of which were signed "Marcos Flores." They demanded that "Justice be done" In the case of his brother's claim for a pension. Bach was more Insistent than the preceding one and finally It was announced that. If no attention was paid to the claim and the pension was not granted, he would go to the White House and, if he did not get redress there, he "knew what he would do." FORCES HAND OF CONGRESS President Will Compel Reform by Enforcing: Anti-Fencing Law. OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. April 6. The time will probably come when Congress will give an at tentive ear to what President Roosevelt has to say on the public land question, but until that time arrives the President will give his views directly to the people. At the last session of Congress the President called attention to the provl sl ons of the a t of February 36. 1885, prohibiting the erection of fences on the public domain. He went so far as to express his opinion that the law in Its existing form works considerable hard ship on the stockmen of the West and bowed his clear disapproval of the law. but nolnuftd out thai, as long as the law remains on the statute books, he, as President. Is compelled to see that its provisions are enforced. The President believes that fencing under proper restrictions would do more good thatt harm, nevertheless the law prohibits all fencing of the public do- main and it is up to tfim to see that the law Is enforced. Every opportunity was given Congress to modify the law of 1885; a law that has been a dead letter for many years, but Congress ignored the question altogether, and now the Presi dent will prosecute men who are main taining fences in defiance of the law. If legitimate stock: interests are hurt, the men affected can blame Congress, not the President. Aside from his determination to enforce the law, the President is trying to force the hand of Congress by bringing to bear the pressure of public opinion. When the people of the West fully realize that, the President Is determined, they are very apt to let their Senators and Congress men know that It is time to change the law, but until public sentiment is aroused Congress Is not apt to act. The administration would like to see the fencing law modified, but at the same time would like to see a new law enact ed providing for leasing the public range. The President looks at the grazing prob lem from several viewpoints. Primarily, he believes that the range Is a valuable asset, and it Is only fair that the Gov ernment should derive some revenue from its use. Just as it now derives a revenue from its forests. Secondly, he has be come convinced that under the leasing system the public range would be per petuated, and would not be overgrazed, as has been, done in many instances when no restrictions were imposed. Thirdly, he believes that under a leasing system, the. range wars of old days would entire ly disappear; that the small stock-owner would be protected against the cattle baron, and that bloodshed on the ranges would become a thing of the past. He does not favor a big tax, merely a nomi nal sum, enough to pay the cost of ad ministration and yield a slight revenue In addition. Under such a system fencing would be permitted by the men holding Govern ment leases and, had Congress enacted such a law. many a mile of fence that must now be destroyed would have been allowed to stand. Naturally the fence owners, though they be violators of the law, will feel aggrieved, but they have no ground for resentment towards the President. The only way they can get relief Is to bring pressure to bear on their representatives In Congress. This reform is bound to come; It may not come In a year, but it will come before long and. when it does come. It will be substantially what the President so earn estly urged last session. Secretary Garfield, by direction of the President, has Issued the following in structions to special agents of the Land Office, In regard to the removal of fences on 'the public domain: It la necessary for me to ad vis you that the law remains in full force and ef fect, and that persons who maintain illegal fences will he HableMo prosecution. You will instruct your special agents that the making of caps or maintenance of gate ways In illegal fences upon the public do main will not relieve from liability under the act; but that leaving fence posts stand ing after the wire has been removed will not be considered a violation of the act; that when, on valid claims or patented lands, fences ara maintained hlch cut oft access to public lands, prosecutions should be brought In order that an authoritative court derision may be obtained; that so called "drift" fences must be held to he Illegal under section 3 of the act of 18S5, unless they are upon valid claims or pat ented lands; that persons who Interfere In any way with the free use of the public domain by those who are legally entitled to go upon it, such as prospectors, settlers, travelers, persons in charge of livestock, or any class of livestock itself, must be prose cuted when the facts are brought to your attention. The Department of Justice will act fromptly and vigorously to prosecute vlo stors of the act of 1S&5 when definite com plaint Is made to a United States District Attorney, and you are directed to take steps for the immediate prosecution of vio lators of that act whenever violations are discovered either by your special agents or through direct Information and complaint from private persons. Persons injured by Illegal fences should make complaint to- officers of the Depart ment of Justice or the Department of the Interior. It Is to be regretted that no discretion is given the Government to permit the con tinuance of fences that are clearly for the benefit of all Interests. Undoubtedly some hardship and loss of property, especially to the small stockowner and the homemaker, will fallow the enforcement of this law. hut so long as It Is on the statute books it must be enforced without considering the Teasons which led to any violation. MERIT SELECTS CONSULS Pull "o I,onger Effective, but Ex amination Decides Fitness. ORBGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April 5. Political pull no longer frets a man a position in the consular service. Now It Is merit. The consular reorganization law passed at the last session of Congress put the consular ser vice on the merit basis and provided that no men should be appointed who couM not pass an entrance examination framed by the State Department. That policy is now being adhered to rigidly. Tea certain extent a Senator can as sist a man who seeks a consular ap pointment He can have his friend "designated for examination' and. after receiving such designation from the Presi dent, the man can take the examination, but it does not follow that ha will be ap pointed. The practice of the State De partment is to examine a number of can didates, several times the number re aulsite to fill existing vacancies, and then to aDooint to the vacancies the men making the highest marking at the ex amination. There Is no assurance even that the man who passes the examina tion will be appointed. His only chance is in passing a better examination than those who compete with him. Another requirement is now Imposed by the State Department. Before a man can be desisnated for appointment it must be shown that he can speak at least one other language than English. At the present time there is considerable demand for men who can speak Spanish, for there are a. number of vacancies In the consular service in South America, where Spanish is currently used. But even with these restrictions, the State Department is having no difficulty in filling the vacan cies as they occur, for the number of ap olications far exceeds the number of places to be filled.
