ROAD LOSES SUIT
MWPORTUND
Attempt of Mt. Hood Line to
Condemn Land on Bull Run
Pipe Line Fails.
OPINION BY JUDGE M'BRIDE
Court Ptolns Company Did Not
Proceed Regularly, Failing to
Seek Right - of - Way Prom
Con mill Before Suing.
OREGON CITY, Or.. Jan. 29. (Special.)
The- Mount Hood Railway & Power
Company lost this afternoon in its suit
against the City of Portland to condemn
a. right of way in the territory in which
is located the Bull Run pipe line.
Judge McRride granted a motion of the
defendant for a non-suit on the ground
that the Mount Hood Railway & Power
Company had made no attempt to obtain
he right of way from the Mty Council
before bringing the suit for condemnation.
This was the only contention, as the at
torneys agreed to the value of the land
Involved and on nearly everything else.
The land covered by the proposed right
of way is valued at only J6, but U is nec
essary for the company to have a 100-foot
atrip on account of the mountainous coun
try which theiroad will traverse. Piatt
& Piatt appeared for the company, and
the City of Portland was represented by
'City Attorney Kavanaugh and J. J. Fitz
gerald. 'Mayor Lane and Richard Mon
tague were also present at the hearing
and the former gave testimony.
MOTIOX BASED ON ONE POINT
Company Expected Now to Proceed
Before Council In Regular Way.
City Attorney Kavanaugh said last
right that his motion for non-suit was
made on the one point referred to in the
foregoing, and that 'while other points
may eventually come up in the courts,
they were not Involved in, the present
cause at law. He also said he presumed
the railroad people would now come be
fore the City Council and proceed in a
more regular manner In seeking a right
of way through city property, and accord
ing to representations made by the com
pany the granting of the right of way
would not interfere with the city's water
supply. One of the reasons the company
is said to have for wanting the strip asked
for Is to prevent any' other company oc
cupying the lands in question.
TESTIFIES IN OWN BEHALF
(Continued from Flmt Page.)
some complaints had been made against
his company for maintaining unlawful
fenaes. Steiwcr represented, said the
witnesc, that these complaints were the
result of spitework on the part of set
tlers who had some grievance against
the officers of the company. Hall tes
tified that he called Stelwer's atten
tion to the fact that the company had
not the right to maintain fences even
on Its own land, if the fences so con
structed inclosed Government land.
Ftelwer, continued the witness, ex
pressed some doubt of this contention,
find was shown a decision of the
Vnlted States Supreme Court to that
effect. Hall averred that at the time
he told Steiwer that the company
would he required to remove Its fences
or at least to make such openings in
the fences that would afford a free
passageway to the Government lands
within the enclosure.
The efforts of Hall to get a special
agent to go to Wheeler County were
then detailed and the letter of the Dis
trict Attorney, dated March SO. 1903.
and addressed to the Attorney-General
of the United States, was discussed.
In this letter Hall had asked the Attorney-General
to request the Interior
department to assign to him a special
agent for the specific purpose of in
vestigating a number of alleged un
lawful fences In Crook, Grant,
Klamath, Lake and Malheur Counties,
omitting all mention of Wheeler, in
which the Butte Creek Company was
operating.
In your letter to the Attorney-Gen
Knsiorn Oregon counties, omitting
Wheeler?" asked Judge Webster.
Why He Omitted" Wheeler.
"In the Fall of 1902." responded
Hall 'A. R. Greene, special inspector
under the Secretary of the Interior,
came into my office and reported that
he had recently traveled from Burns
to Prinevllle and had received informa
tion that one W: W. Brown had a large
amount of Government land fenced up
In the vicinity of Wagon Tire Moun
tain. I referred the matter to Greene,
who turned the assignment over to a
ubstltute, Kdward Deady, who caused
the Brown fence? to be removed. This
naturally made Broun angry, and he
retaliated by making complaints
against various other settlers. I served
notice at once on the settlers reported
by Brown, and some of them removed
their fences while others did not. It
whs for the purpose of getting a spe
cial agent who should be under my
direction exclusively to determtne Just
who had not complied with my orders
that they might be prosecuted, that I
applied to the Attorney-General.
"My idea In mentioning only the coun
ties of Crook. Grant. Klamath. Lake and
Malheur, was because those 'counties
represented a district remote from dis
triets where special agents were located,
and 1 wanted a special man to make the
investigations in those counties. I also
wanted the fence matter generally inves
tigated without regard to any prescribed
locality. The Government had always
licen lenient with settlers for Improperly
encloHing public land; it seemed to bo
the policy of the Government not to
harass such settlers unless complaint
' filed against them or unless by the
construction of the fences other settlers
were prevented from reaching the Gov
ernment land inclosed. '
Mr. Honey Interrupts.
Whom do you mean by the Govern
ment?" Interrupted Heney.
"I mean both the Department of Jus
tice and the Department of the Interior,-'
replied Hall.
Well, whom do you refer to in the
Interior Department?"
Ringer Hermann was Commissioner
then."
. "Was not Hitchcock Hermann's su
. perior?"
"Yes. he was over Hermann."
"Well, do you mean to tell me that it
was Httchcoek's policy to be lenient to
wards ? Oh. I guess I am getting a
little ahead of my course," concluded
Jieney. and the further questioning of
the witness hy the Government's prose
cutor was abandoned.
Hall testified further that when Special
Ascnt Dixon reported to him in June,
1903. Hall first suggested that Dixon go
to Crook County, and when that official
demurred and said he did not have time
to make the trip to the interior of the
state. Hall asserted that he told Dixon,
of the Butte Creek Company, and re
marked, that this investigation could
probably be made betore it would be
necessary for Dixon to return to Seattle.
Hard to Get Special Agents.
Hall explained at considerable length
his correspondence with tho complaining
settlers of Wheeler County, his prelimi
nary examination yesterday being con
fined entirely to an interpretation of
those letters as he understood them. He
told a connected story detailing the work
of the District Attorney's office, and in
sisted that his relations with the au
thors of the different complaints were
only those of a diligent prosecutor. He
maintained that the delay in the prosecu
tion of the alleged offenders was the re
sult of his Inability to get special agents
to visit Wheeler County and make a re
port on "the conditions, which was essen
tial before he could file either a civil or
a criminal prosecution. Before court ad
journed for the day. Judge Webster an
nounced that he would this morning take
up another line of investigation. Just
what that would be, counsel declined to
intimate, but it may be a refutation of
the alleged political dealings of Hall
and the charge that he failed to prose
cute partisan friends and . associates,
which has been outlined in the case pre
sented by the Government.
W., C. Bristol Testifies.
The first witness for the defense yes
terday morning was United States At
torney W. C. Bristol, who contradicted
a part of the Government's testimony
which represented that Hendricks in 1S0S
had appealed to Bristol, to whom he made
overtures in the interest of a light sen
tence. Testimony for the Government
was to the effect that after Hendricks
was convicted of subornation of perjury
in August. 1906. he called on Bristol, and
complained of his conviction and asked
for some recommendation for leniency
and that Bristol had informed him that
he would have to see Heney. Bristol
asserted that he had never had any con
versation with Hendricks subsequent to
Hendricks" conviction.
On cross-examination, Heney sought to
refresh the memory of Bristol by show
ing him a telegram that was sent to
Heney from Portland on August 10. bear
ing the signature of Bristol. The tele
gram represented that Hendricks was de
sirous of becoming a witness for the
Government and testifying against Hal!
and Williamson, and had asked that his
sentence be postponed for a week until he
could have, a talk with Heney. Bristol
denied v that he had ever sent such a
message to Heney and charged that the
dispatch had been forwarded by Irvin
Rittenhouse, private secretary to Heney,
and that he. Bristol, knew nothing of it
until told by Rittenhouse afterwards.
S. B. Huston testified that in a conver
sation with Brownell at Oregon City,
Just prior to the general election in June,
1908. when Brownell was a candidate to
succeed himself as State Senator, Brown
ell told him that Heney had promised to
dismiss the indictment against him. The
witness, however, testified that Brownel!
did not say that the promise of dis
missal of the indictment had been made
in consideration of anything from the
Government, although Brownell had ex
plained that he had turned' over to the
Government his "political scrapbook" and
his private letter files. On cross-examination
Huston admitted that Brownell
had not admitted to him that he had the
promise ' from Heney directly that the
indictment would be dismissed.
May Charge Heney With Delay.
Captain J. A. Sladen, clerk of the Fed
eral Court, was called and gave the dates
and the number of land-fraud indict
ments that were returned. The record
was also introduced showing that Heney
was appointed Special Denutv . District
Attorney December 19. 1904. The obvious
purpose of presenting these facts was to
show that Heney had been slow in pro
secuting the different cases.
Considerable documentary evidence was
also offered during the morning session
by the defense. The indictment of Feb
ruary 8. 1905. charging Brownell with
subornation of perjury, was offered to
show that Brownell had been Indicted
for suborning others to commit perjury
and not for certifying to bogus applica
tions for surveys, of which Greene pro-
lessea to nave evidence against Brownell
and which constituted the grounds for
Han s alleged intimidation of Brownell
The indictments against George Soren
son, another of the Government's wit
nesses, were offered to show that while
he had been convicted of one charge and
the Jury had disagreed in another, that
tour, other Indictments were oendinc
against him.

HUSBAND IS NOT LIABLE
Complaint Docs Not Establish Wom
an Is His Agent To Collect Dam- '
ages Suit Must Be Brought
, in an Oregon Court.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan.' 89. (Special.)
Gentle but reckless woman' may seat
herself at the helm of an automobile and
send the car on a juggernaut course with
dire results to pedestrians and others,
and her husband is not liable for dam
ages as the result of & civil action on
the part of the Injured.
At least euch Is the decision of Su
perior Judge Gilliam in the Superior
Court1 today during the trial of a case
brought to recover J1S.600 damages from
Mr. and Mrs. Fred P. Baumgartner, of
Portland. . .
In September last Mrs. Baumgartner,
who was visiting her mother in this city,
struck and knocked across the street El
H. Evans, an employe of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. She was ar
rested and later discharged under J15.000
bail. Later the criminal case was dropped
but Evans brought suit for damages.
In court this morning John Francis
Dore, attorney, moved to dismiss the ao
tion so far as thei husband is concerned,
and, after considerable argument. Judge
Gilliam granted the motion, holding that
there is nothing in the complaint to es
tablish the fact that the woman was in
any way the agent of her husband, as he
was In Portland at the time of the acci
dent. The fact that the woman owned
the machine, according to the judge, did
not matter, as, he held, she might have
hired the machine. A motion to have
the case against the woman dismissed
met with failure, and the case went to
the jury this evening. A sealed verdict
will be returned tomorrow morning.
According to the interpretation of the
law in this state, the Judgment will not
hold against the community, property of
the couple, and unless the woman has
property of her own the judgment will
be worthless. At any rate, in case of
a judgment for the plaintiff, action to
collect will have to be brought in the
Oregon courts, and, all told, a very
pretty legal question is involved.
There was much contradictory evidence
as to the speed of the machine when the
accident occurred. Councilman Crichton
testified that the machine was traveling
at least 15 miles an hour and that it was
wobbling. Other evidence was to 'the ef
fect that the plaintiff was much at fault.
STEAM BURSTS FROM ROADBED
Laborers Are Frightened by Vapors
From Hot Springs.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Jan. 29.
(Special.) Professor B. L. Ainsley, who
has Just visited the district traversed by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
road construction work on both sides of
the Columbia, reports that a number of
foreign laborers abandoned their work
because of volumes of steam pouring
from crevices In the rocks of the road
bed where heavy blasting had been done.
They feared a volcanic eruption -at any
moment.
Professor Ainsley accounts for the
clouds of steam by the presence of a
series of hot springs. The odor of the
steam is similar to that of hot springs
in various places throughout the. North
west. A majority of the foreigners who
quit their jobs have gone from that vicinity.

EUGENE GETS DISTRICT FAIR
Making Plans to Have Annnal
County Fair Investigating Sites.
EUGENE, Or., Jan. 29. (Special.) It
has been definitely decided to hold the
second Southern Oregon district fair in
Eugene this Fall and the Lane County
directors, consisting of H. F. Hollen
beck, J. M. Williams and F. M. Wilkins
will go to Roseburg Monday to complete
arrangements with the other representa
tives of the district. Eugene will e en
titled to the district fair once every three
years, hut arrangements are now being
made by which an annual county fair
will be held anyway.
A committee from the Commercial Club
in co-operation with the district directors
has been at work during the past few
days investigating proposed sites for the
new fair grounds. In the past fairs have
been held in Merriau's Park, a little too
far from the city, and the committee has
found two desirable locations, the Hud
delston tract in West Eugene and a part
of the Blair tract in Northwest Eugene.
Definite decision has not been made, however.

OLD SORES
The deep, trader-lying cause of every old sore !3 a bad condition of the
blood. This vital fluid has become infected with, some germ or poison which
prevents the place from healing. This infection may be the result of aa in
active, sluggish condition of the system leaving the refuse matter in the
body to be absorbed into the circulation instead of throwing it ofl through
the usual channels of nature. Another cause is the weakening or polluting
of this life-stream from hereditary taints, or from the eSect3 of a long spell
of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system. When the blood is in this
condition a sore cannot heal because the impurities with which the circula--tion
is filled are being constantly discharged into the place to irritate and
inflame the tissues and further disease the surrounding flesh. The only
treatment that can do any good is one that removes the cause, and for this
purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It begins at the fountain head of the trouble
and drives out all germs, impurities and poisons, and then the place, being
eupplied with rich, pure blood, heals naturally and permanently. Local ap
plications assist in cleansing the place, but a cure can only be affected
through a purification of the blood. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any
