'DRAMATIC SCENE
AT -HiS TIL
Wife's Brother Tells How He
Convinced Her Hau
Was Guilty.
WHY SHE KILLED HERSELF,
Many Witnesses Saw DtsgulSed Man
Jfear Molltor Villa at Time of
Murder Experts Say
He Is Sane.
- KARLSRUHE, July lD.The third
day of the trial of Karl Hau, who la
-accused of the murder of hi mother-in-law,
Frau Molltor, at Baden Baden
last November, brought a climax of
dramatic Interest. Testimony" was
given by flie sisters and brother of
Hau's wife, who committed suicide
since the Incarceration of her. husband,
and the letters she wrote Just before
taking her life here.
- Lieutenant Molltor, who Is stationed
at Metz," swore he suspected Hau from
the first. Describing his talks with
the late Mrs. Hau, his sister, after his
return from London, the lieutenant
said It fell to him to explain to his
sister all the circumstances of the case
pointing to the guilt of her husband,
and thi recital Anally convinced her
that Karl was the murderer.
Wife Could Not Endure Shame.
Herr Dletz, counsel for Hau, read a
letter which Mrs. JIau had written him
from Paris regarding her last Interview
. with her husband, which took place
In Paris on June 7. Mrs. Hau wrote
that this Interview was rather unsatis
factory and exciting.
At this point Hau arose and asked
permission of the court to make a
statement. Speaking alowly and In a
very low voice, the prisoner said his
wife had told him at this interview
that she Intended to commit suicide
because she was unable to hear all her
family matter discussed before the
public. He tried to persuade her to de
sist from this purpose, as it would
create an impression that he was
guilty. Hau made this statement with
out any emotion, and his composure
was complete.
Seen Near Molltor Villa.
The afternoon session was devoted
to hearing various witnesses who saw a
man with a- false beard in Baden
Baden, several of them near the
Molltor home, and within an hour of
the tragedy. Two of these witnesses
declared they recognized Hau as the
same man. Schmltz, the gardener, tes
tified that he heard the fatal shot at
6:02 P. M. After it was fired he saw
the man with a full black beard sitting
on the seat at 4:33 o'clock, where the
other witnesses already had testified to
seeing him, and that an hour later he
saw the same man below, the park
going at a hasty pace in the direction
of the Molltor villa.
Baroness von Reitzensteln, living In
a villa on the road taken by Frau
Molitor and Ogo Molltor during the
fatal walk, swore , that she went out
to the letterbox at 5:50 o'clock and
saw a man with a black beard, whom
Bhe recognized as Hau. Running
toward her villa she saw the Molltors,
but a different man, having an Iron
gray beard and older and shorter in
stature than Hau, was following them.
This raises a new point In the case.
A' servant girl employed by the
Molltors testified that she answered a
telephone call and reported to Frau
Molltor that It was a well-known
voice. "It's Mr. Hau," the witness said
Bhe told Frau Molltor.
Hau Refuses to Explain.
At the night session Hau admitted
that Baroness von Reitzensteln had
been correct In saying she had recog
nlaed him near the Molitor villa. The
judge, with . great deliberation, de
manded an explanation of Hau's pur
pose In being there. Hau firmly re
fused to give this Information, adding:
"I realize the full consequence of the
refusal."- '
Several specialists testified concern
ing a prolonged examination of Hau
during his incarceration and to find
ing him sane. Dr. Dlett, counsel for
Hau, sharply criticized the remarks of
one of the experts as to the work of
the prosecuting attorney. Sharp
words were then exchanged between
the judge and Dr. Dlett, and the latter
threatened to withdraw from the case.
The court Is working under pressure
in an endeavor to finish the case to
morrow night. Adjournment was
taken at 1:30 o'clock tonight, with the
courtroom still crowded to suffocation.
STEPS FORTH A FREE MAN
William January Has Been Restored
to Rights of Citizenship.
FORT LEAVENWORTH. Kas., July
19. William January, alias Charles W.
Anderson, for whose pardon a petition
containing the signatures of 50.000 persons
was presented to President Roosevelt
three months ago, was released from the
Federal prison here today. Anderson will
return to Kansas City where he will en
gage in business.
January was convicted 11 years ago of
robbing an Oklahoma nostofriro unit n.
tenced to the penitentiary for three years.
He escaped two years later and went to
Kansas City, assumed the name of An
derson and married. In April, this year,
an ex-convict who had known January in
the penitentiary, notified the warden of
the man's whereabouts and he was re-
arrested and taken back to Leavenworth.
Owing to the exemplary life Anderson
had led in Kansas, his neighbors started
a movement ior nis release. The newspa
pers took up the case with the result
that a -petition which is said to have con
tained the largest number of signatures
ever appended to an appeal for a pardon
was forwarded to Washington. President
Roosevelt reviewed the case and upon re
quest of Attorney-General Bonaparte,
granted a pardon effective at the expira
tion of three months from the time of his
arrest. January will seek restoration to
citizenship and will ask to have the name
Df Anderson legalized.

tle croup radiant with happiness. With
his 4-year-old child on his knee, Anderson
talked of himself.
"I have no plans for the future," he
said, "save that I will remain here."
"My wife and the baby are so glad to
see me back and its like getting acquaint
ed again." said he to the reporter. Asked
about the report that he would engage in
the -pool hall business, Anderson said It
was without foundation.
"I would not," he said, "be so ungrate
ful to the many who signed for me."
During the day the following message,
signed by Anderson's little girl, was for
warded to Washington.
"Theodore Roosevelt, President of the

and Papa says he is. too. He says he will
be a good Papa now.

SAME GRAZ NG FEE
No Increase to Be Made on
National Forests.
FAVOR SMALL STOCKMAN
Rumor That Rates Would Be Raised
Are Contradicted Full Price Is
Charged for Timber No
Charge for Water.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 19. The Forest ServTce an
nounces that no general Increase will be
made in the fees charged for grazing live
stock on the National forests during the
present administration.
Rumors that a general Increase was
contemplated have caused some uneasi
ness among Western stock men using the
National forest ranges, according to ad
vices received here. The present fee,
says the Forest Service, is generally rec
ognised as moderate. In point of fact it
is much lower than that which private
owners of grazing land similar to that
in some of the National forests are charg
ing. ' Mont stockmen are willing to ac
cept the present situation, provided they
can be assured that conditions are not go
ing to be subject to a radical change.
Will Not Charge Market Price.
The Government does not believe In
charging stockmen what It considers the
full market value of the grazing privilege
that Is, in letting the use of the range
to the highest bidder and trying to make
as much as possible out of the land. To
do so would be to place the range In the
hands of wealthy stockmen to the exclu
sion of small owners. In other words.
the Government is not in the position of
a landlord who seeks to realize the larg
est possible returns from his holdings.
While there is no reason why those who
profit Individually by making use of the
National forests should not help meet the
expenses of their protection, the forests
are not run as revenue producers Dut as
sources of public benefit through rightly
regulated use.
Much misdirected criticism has arisen
frora the failure of many people to under
stand this. Some Western papers, for
instance, have reprinted from the Con
gressional Record the estimate of the
Forester of the capitalized value of the
National forests, totaling some $1,4OO,0M,-
000, and have assumed that each of the
general items meant that the Government
proposed to turn these resources to ac
count by a system of charges. It can be
stated authoritatively that no such thing
was ever thought of. In their capacity
to supply water for Irrigation, for in
stance, the forests are Immensely valu
able, and the capitalized value of this
use should be considered by the Govern
ment as trustee for the public In esti
mating how much it is worth while to
spend in order to protect the water-conserving
capacity of the forests. But no
return from the users of water for irriga
tion was contemplated, nor could any
chasge be made under existing laws.
Full Price for Timber.
Grazing stands half way between Irri
gation and lumbering in the matter of the
propriety of the charge. When timber
from the National forests is sold it is
sold at the market price. Timber, as Mr.
PInchot said at the Denver convention, is
a "transportable commodity," forage on
the range Is not. To put up at auction
the privilege of grazing would open those
who have settled In a region and those
who- have a permanent interest in a par
ticular range to what would often be a
ruinous competition from nomadic cattle
and sheepmen'. Stability of the industry
and the protection of the small settler
who helps develop the country along per
manent lines Is of the first importance.
To secure these ends the grazing fee is
put low, and the choice of those allowed
to use the range is made along lines
which recognize residents and past users
as having the first right. ,
Though no general advance In fees will
be made, some adjustment in the Interest
of fairness will result in certain local
changes. On some of the new National
forests a lower rate than ordinary was
fixed for the present season on account of
the crowded condition and consequent In
feriority of the range. A slight Increase
in fee will be made in such cases as the
ranges improve in condition and better
service is given. This will be simply to
equalize charges on the basis of the pres
ent rate and along the lines of fairness.
No Increase will be made above the
standard prices fixed this year for the
different states.

Bourne Gets Order to Push Oregon
Land Patents Where Fraud
Cannot Be Proved.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 19. Senator Bourne has
succeeded in securing an order from
the general Land Office callng upon
T. B. Neuhausen, at Portland, to sub
mit an immediate report, giving a list
of all suspended land entries in Oregon
against which there are no facts of
record in his office or within the
knowledge of Government officials
which warrant further suspension.
Mr. Neuhausen has also been Instruct
ed to make separate reports as to each
entry against which there are charges
warranting further suspension, all
such reports to be submitted before
September 1. 1907.
Mr. Bourne has discovered that
many land entries have been suspend
ed in Oregon without apparent Justi
fication and in consequence honest
entrymen are experiencing great dif
ficulty in securing title from the Gov
ernment. While he does not desire or
intend to interfere with the prosecu
tion of men guilty of fraud, he insists
that honest men shall not .be required
to suffer along with the guilty. The
Land Office is in, accord with his
views, and it Is expected that numer
ous entries now suspended without
cause will be released in the near fu
ture and started on their ' way to
patent.
Under Secretary Hitchcock blanket
suspensions were made on mere sus
picion and all these blanket orders are

branch of the Southern Pacific line, a new
schedule is being arranged which will
give the patrons of the branch the benefit
of the service of two regular through
trains daily, one train each way, from
Wendling to Eugene. Mr. O'Brien has
also Informed the Commission that plans
and estimates have been prepared for a
depot at Maracola station, a luxury which
the Maracolaites have never enjoyed and
which the Commission was asked to
secure for them, and, that work of con
struction will begin at once.
