Witnesses Called to Washing

, Hyde Trial.
BROWN AMD WEST LEAVE
Others Included In List of 150 Ap
plicants for School Lands As
signed Hyde and Associates.
Will Appear April 2fl.
fiALEM. Or., April 17. (Special.)
(subpoenas have been Issued and wit
nesses have been summoned to appear
at Washington. D. C, April 22 and May
1 to give evidence In the celebrated
Benson-Hyde land fraud case, which
is to come up for hearing directly af
ter the conclusion of the Hermann trial,
which, it is believed, will be concluded
this week. Among the most prominent
of those subpoenaed in the Hyde case
are Clerk G. G. Brown of the State I,and
Board, and Oswald West, railroad com
missioner end formerly State Land
Agent, who will leave for the capitol
tomorrow to be in attendance April 22.
The others subpoenaed are included in
the list of about 150 applicants for
state school lands which were assigned
to F. A. Hyde and bis associates. These
will start some time next Week.
The history of the Benson-Hyde land
operations Is pretty well known to the
general public. All of the land to
which title was secured by Hyde and
his colleagues is situated In lie Cas
cade Forest Reserve, which was created
In 18R3. The lands were purchased in
J!8 at $1.26 per acre, upon certificates
obtained from 150 applicants. Hyde
and his associates attempted to use
them as the bases for the selection of
valuable timber and other lands outside
of the reserve, but, upon a ruling made
by the Commissioner of the General
1-and Office, Blnger Hermann, they
were abut out.
Conspiracy Is Alleged.
It was then, through the alleged con
nivance of Hyde, Benson and other In
fluences. Congress enacted the lieu land
act wiilch validated the certificates
and deeds and a reversal of the previ
ous ruling of the Commissioner was se
cured. F.ach of the certificates repre
sented an average of 320 acres of state
school land, all situated in the Cascade
Reserve and aggregate about 48,000
acres.
Commissioner West and Clerk Brown,
of the Land Board, departed from here
this afternoon, and expect to embark for
Washington tomorrow morning. Brown
was assistant clerk of the board under
M. L. Chamberlain at the time the lands
were taken up, and is subpenaed as cus
todian of the offlce records. A complete

MORE LOGS THAN MILLS NEED
Timber Land, Therefore, Becomes
Drag" on Market.
SEATTLE. Wash., April 17. (Special.)
Because of the car shortage, the market
for timber lands has collapsed and timber
operators claim that It Is practically im
possible to dispose of their timber hold
ings. There is now accumulating a sur
plus of logs, despite the fact that the
logging camp capacity for the past Win
ter has been far below the average. This
circumstance has a tendency to depre
ciate the value of timber holdings.
Loggers assert that the logging output
during the Summer will be above the ca
pacity of the mills and that there will be
difficulty In, maintaining existing prices.
It is not expected, though, that any
serious break in the market will follow.
In the meantime timber holdings must
remain an Impractical property for trad
ing purposes and timber speculators
do not believe that the market will pick
tip until the car situation permits a free
movement of lumber and shingles.

DERELICT IN HUMAN TIDE

BECOMES DRUNKARD.
Oxford Graduate, AVbo Gave Prom
ise of Brilliant Career, Arrested
as Vagabond at Seattle.
SEATTLE, Wash., April 17. (Special.)
Robert Charlton Lee, Oxford graduate,
minister of the gospel for a score of
years, and a man of much brilliance and
eloquence, was arrested last night while
on the verge of delirium tremens and
was locked up In the City Jail to sober
up. Picked up from the gutter by a
former member of his church choir and
started on the straight path again. Lee
has fallen so many times lately that his
friends have ceased to forbear and have
caused his arrest. Incidentally, he Is
also held for pawning a watch which
did not belong to him to obtain liquor.
Three years ago, at the time of the
death of his wife at Coos Bay, Or., a life
of great promise was blasted by strong
drink. So low did the former minister of
the gospel sink in the social scale that
he was only a piece of flotsam In the
murky waters of the lowest tides of hu
manity In Seattle, when he was rescued
from one of the lowest dives - of the
city last July by L. K. Nichols, a for
mer member of his choir at Coos Bay,

ACCUSED MINERS STRIKE
(Continued from First Page.)
bois. of Idaho, Is engaged in an attempt
to make political capital out of the re
port that Senator Borah has been in
dicted. Mr. Dubois Is today circulating
among newspaper correspondents a state
ment calculated to discredit Mr. Borah
and weaken tils hand as prosecutor of
Mover, Haywood and Pettibone. He has
already inspired several unfriendly arti
cles published in Eastern papers within
the past two days, and is tonight- follow
ing them up with even more damaging
matter. Intended to make it appear that
Mr. Borah is not in good standing, and
that he la not competent to represent
Idaho In the prosecution of the men
charged with the Steunenberg murder.
Altogether, it is a cheap bid for the
favor and support of the labor element
that is 'backing Moyer and his associates.
It was Mr. Iubols who circulated the
story that Mr. Borah had appealed to
the administration for protection, and
who furthermore started the story, wide
ly published, that the President found
himself embarrassed because of Mr.
Borah's appeal.
Altogether, this is the most contempti
ble trick attempted In Washmgton In
many years. Mr. Dubois, having been
beaten on his self-made issue, is trying
to regain favor by breaking down the
man he has always acknowledged to be
his friendb. and the man who had given
him full confidence. Never before, so far
as known, has a public man in Mr. Du
bois' position resorted to this underhand
means of attack on a friend. Mr. Dubois
is asking that his name be not connected
with the stories sent from Washington,
but there is no mistake about the facts
as here given. Speaking plainly, Mr.
Dubois is doing his utmost to prevent a
fair trial of the men charged with- the
murder of Steunenberg, and is steadily
trying to break down the hand of the
Government. His act stamps him as a
discredited citiren.
TRIES TO INFLUENCE JUROR
Man Cited for Contempt Who Works
for Federathmist Defense
BOISE. Idaho, April 17. (Special.)
Judge Fremont Wood tonight Issued a
citation to have W. N. Yost brought be

The Judge excused the jurors today until
May 9. the date of the Haywood case. In
doing so he cautioned them to avoid talk
ing with any persons about the case or
allowing others to talk with them or In
their presence about the case. He stated
that they should warn any persons so
talking that they were Jurors and that.

report the matter to the court.
When the Jurors had been dismissed.
J. L. Waggoner, one of the number, in
formed the court he had already been
approached at his farm by Yost. The
Judga directed the prosecuting attorney
to take his statement and inaugurate the
proper proceedings
Mr. Waggoner's affidavit sets forth that
Yost approached him to talk about the
case. He was informed that he, Wag
goner, was a Juror, but persisted in talk
ing and finally offered him $20 to work
for the defense. Yost added he was in
the employ of the- defense for the pur-
pose of shaping sentiment and learning

SHOCKED BY POEM PRINTED
Say Mean Things Abont Editor Her-
ron, AYho Calls Them Prudes
and Bigots Edition Is
Quickly Exhausted.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY.. April 17.
(Special. The co-eds, in pursuance of
their agreement, religiously refrained
from purchasing today's issue of Sequoia.
Tho editor, however, suffers no loss from
their Tefusal as he has been obliged to
place an order for 100 extra copies and
the prospects are that this extra edition
will be exhausted within a few hours.
Editorially the editor takes a sharp rap
at the co-eds, refers to them as prudes
and bigots, and makes strong allusions
to the majority attending college to Ira
prove their matrimonial chances. The
co-eds come back by charging Editor
Hcrron with gross irregularities of mor
als and instances of scandalous conduct.
The poem which caused the rumpus Is a
recital In a sort of Kipling style of the
Biblical story of King David and the wife
of Uriah, and the King's order that the
captain -be deserted by his soldiers In the
face of the enemy to make sure of his
death.
President Jordan refused to commit
himself, but many think that some action
by the faculty may be forced by the
scandal.
An excerpt from the poem follows:
The King beheld her where she stood.
Laving her limbs In the glowing flood;
Then the hills and city and fields grew dim.
As light of her beauty dawned on him.
She found the King in his bower at dusk.
And the air was perfumed with myrrh and
musk.
Her falling hair In the dark was dim
But her eyes and bosom gleamed on him.
And David, the King, felt all the fire
Of his youth return with his great desire.
And he said to her: "My love for thee
Is stronger than fire, or wind or sea."

REPORT ON FOOD LABORATORY
Professor Fulmer Secures Option In
Three Cities.
PULLMAN. Wash.. April 17. (Special.)
Professor Elton Fulmer, of the Wash
ington State College and the members or
the National Commission on Pure Food
Standards, who recently investigated con.
flltions In Portland, Seattle and Tacoma
to select a suitable location for the estab
lishment of a pure food laboratory, .has
submitted his report to the Secretary of
Agriculture at Washington, D. C. Pro
fessor Fulmer took a refusal on quarters
in each of the three cities. He expects
the report will be acted upon in a very
short time.
In connection with the work of the
National Commission Professor Fulmer
said that a recent letter from the chair
man of the Commission, Dr. Frear, of
Pennsylvania, Indicates a general prefer
ence among the members for St. Louis

will be held in May, at which time the
matter of preservatives will be given con
siderable attention.
UNION MAY CONTINUE PICKET
Tacoma Judge Dissolves Injunction
Protecting Restaurant.
TACOMA, Wash., April 17. (Special.)
The temporary injunction granted last
week enjoining the Cooks and Waiters
Union from picketing in front of the
Helm Cafe was today dissolved by Judge
Clifford on the ground of Insufficient
evidence of injury to the plaintiff's busi
ness. The differences arose over a de
mand by the union for the dismissal of
certain employes, whom It wished to
replace with union men. This Mr. Helm
refused, and alleged that in consequence
pickets were placed about the entrance
to the cafe in an attempt to injure the
business. It is probable that an appeal
will be taken from the decision.
WATER HIGH AT HOOD RIVER

HOOD RIVER, Or., April 17. (Special.)
The Columbia River is higher today
than it has been at any time since last
Summer, and is said to be' within a foot
of the highest mark it attained in 1906.
River men regard such high water so
early In the season as an indication that
the river will reach the highest mark It
has for several years. Logs and drift
wood have been going down stream, float
ed off the banks along the river. Camps
at several points have been forced 'back
from the river's edge.

SOON READY FOR PUBLIC
Because of Their Length and Com
prehensive System of Indexing,
Work of Compiling State Laws '
Greater Than Ever Before.
SALEM, Or., April 17. (Special.)
The body of the session laws Is now
printed and covers 538 pages as against
4KB in 1905. It will be ready tor the
binder as soon as the index can be
completed by Frank Davey, who is
workins; at it industriously, but the job
is necessarily tedious, and could not
be done until after the printing. The
laws will probably be ready for dis
tribution early in May, and the journals
of the Senate and House a short time
thereafter.
There has been no time for several
years when the work of indexing the
session laws has been so laborious and
important as it io this year. The past
session of the Legislature enacted en
tirely new and complete codes on sev
eral very important subjects; notably
the laws governing assessment and
taxation, railroads and transportation
and banks and banking. The
school laws were extensively amended
and rewritten, including long chapters
covering union high schools and county
high schools, their organization and
government. The Port of Columbia bill,
and the bill putting tn operation for
cities and towns the initiative and ref
erendum, are also extensive in their
provisions and require elaborate index
ing. Mr. Davey's system of indexing al
phabetically by subjects, sub-Indexing
each provision under the head of each
subject, and then cross-indexing, as to
each separate provision of an act under
different heads, is very thorough and
comprehensive. The index of the laws
of the session of 1905 covered about 60
printed pages, while that of the laws
of the last session, as prepared by Mr.
Davey, will take up more than double
that amount of space, giving an idea
of the immense volume of acts adopted
by the recent Legislature.
The Senate journals have been
copied, compared and sent to the print
er, and the House Journals will be fin
ished this week. The Senate journal
will make the larger book this year,
proportionately as the Speaker almost
entirely eliminated the rollcalls on first
and second reading of bills, which re
duced the size of the House journal
about one-third.
SAYS ESTIMATE IS TOO HIGH
TJ'Ren Compiles Cost of Submitting
Legislation to People.
OREGON CITY, Or., April 17. (Spe
cial.) William S. TJ'Reh, the father of
the initiative and referendum, takes issue
with the statements that have been pub
lished regarding the cost of voting under
that law. Mr. TJ'Ren has carefully com
puted the cost of Initiating and referring
legislative measures to the people under
the act of 1907, which repealed the act of
1903. He admits that the postage expense
In sending printed matter all over the
state to 100,000 voters will be J3009, but he
says that the cost of printing would be
$3686 for 120 pages of measures, figuring
on 100.000 copies, which is one-third more
than have ever been printed. He s?iys the
binding will cost J3600 and the paper
J1563.
The experience of Mr. UTten stands
him In good stead in. figuring on this
matter. He bases the cost of addressing
and filling 100,000 envelopes at 4 per
thousand, totaling 400. The envelopes
can be supplied and printed for $5 per
thousand, or J500. and he believes that
the cost of securing the names and post
office addresses of 100.000 voters will not
exceed $1500. Mr. U' Ren's figures sum
marized are as follows:
Postac 3.000
Prlminc 3.S36
BiiKi-ins -.- aaro
Paper ' 1,8B
Addressing ami filling envelopes 40
Envelopes and printing 800
Names and postofllca aldrees of voters 1.500
Total - - ....14.189
"The publication of proclamations is not
required by the new law of 1907, and the
item of 15000 for that purpose must be
eliminated from the cost. Mr. TJ'Ren be
lieves that his estimate is conservative.
