Harry E. Northup Identifies
Exhibit as That Sent to
Hall in 1900.
STRONG POINT FOR HENEY

Prosecutions More Evidence
Against Edwin Mays.
ARGUMENTS WILZ. BEGIN TODAY
Final arguments In the trial of
John H. Hall will probably begin this
afternoon. This morning Francis J.
Heney will complete the introduction
of rebuttal testimony for the Govern
ment. Hall may be recalled further
to. testify In his own defense, but It
Is believed" all evidence will be sub
mitted In time for the closing ad
dresses to begin before court adjourns
this afternoon. A session was held
last night and it Is possible another
t will be held tonight. The case will
! not go to the Jury before tomorrow
night or Thursday at the earliest.
Harry E. Northup last night positively
identifled Government's exhibit No. 7
Putnam's map to Hull showing the alleged
unlawful fences of the Butte Creek Com
pany In 1900. With this Identification
Heney considers that the Government's
case against John H. Hall has been
strengthened materially. At last night's
session of court Northup testified that
from ISM until 1904 he was employed as
clerk in The Dalles . Land Office, and
identified! the township map offered In
evidence by the Government as the one
he prepared personally tor Mr. Putnam In
November, 1889.
The witness recognized the plat from
the colors that were used tit outlining
the various vacant and occupied lands In
cluded in. the four townships he had
drafted, and which were presented by
the Government as a single exhibit. TJie
testimony of the witness was corroborated
by the original letters of Putnam and the
letter-press replies from Register J. P.
Lucas of The Dalles Land Office, de
tailing the transaction by which the map
was furnished to Putnam on the letter's
implication and In consideration of a cost
of $8 paid by Putnam.
Will Recall Putnam Today.
Putnam will be recalled by Heney this
morning when reference will be made to
the letter Putnam sent to Hall when he
remitted the map on April 30, 1900. In
the lattet Putnam gave a detailed de
scription of the line of the fence he had
indicated with a pencil on the plat. It
will be sought to show that the pencil
markings described by Putnam in his let
ter correspond accurately with the tine
of fence as he indicated it on the map in

torney's office; that Putnam may have

spondence, complaining of the alleged un
lawful fences of the Butte Creek Com
pany, they would have had ample evi
dence on which, to proceed against the
- ..: ,.n..1-M.itf and Its officers.
Aside from positively identifying the
map In evidence as the one he prepared
for Putnam In 1S99, Northup swore that
he did not remember making the same
four plats a second time for Putnam, or
st any time for anybody else within six
months of November, ik. isortnup wa.u
excused by Judge Webster without cross
examination. More Points Against Mays.
Yesterday was an active day for the
prosecution. Several witnesses were
called for the purpose of Impeaching Ed
-win Mays, who had repeatedly stated on
direct examination that he had no
knowledge of the alleged fraudulent op
erations of Claude Thayer and his asso
ciates who, in 1S99, caused about 100
fraudulent timber land filings to be made
In Tillamook County. Charles E. Hayes,
an attorney of Tillamook, who contested
a number of the Thayer claims, testified
that he visited Portland In 1901 and called
on Mavs personally and Informed the as
sistant prosecutor for the Government
that he wished to have an Information
filed against Thayer and his co-conspira
tors.
Another witness, Edward N. Deady. a
former Special Agent, swore that In Sep
tember, 1802, or a month before the stat
ute of limitations would run against the
fraudulent entries, he had conducted an
Investigation and turned over to Hall
and Mays a transcript of the testimony
he had gathered from a number of wit
iirsses. But the grand jury by Which the
Tluiyer frauds were Investigated, said
Dcndy, was not convened until the fol
lowing month, when the statute of limi
tations could be Invoked.
Xot Called Before Jury.
Morris Leach, who was originally asso
ciated- with Thayer in the conspiracy.
testified that although he was sub
poenaed as a witness for the Government
liefore the grand Jury, which met in Oc
tober. 1902. to Investigate the alleged
frauds, he was not called before that
body, although he was in attendance in
a room with the other witnesses and was
ready aud willing to tell all that he knew
of the tacts.
John DowpII, of Roseburg. and W. P.
Kirchem, of Clackamas County, members
of the grand Jury at the October. 1903.
term, testified that shortly after the in
vestigation of the Thayer frauds was
begun. Hall came before the grand Jury
and Informed the Jurors that the statute
of limitations had run against the Thayer
rase and that it would be practically use
less to return an Indictment.
Being recalled, Edward N. Deadv testi
fied further that in 1S09 he was United
States Commissioner at Portland when
W. E. Burke and William . Goslin were
arrested for causing fraudulent timber
land filings to toe made. When this case
rame. before him for examination, witness
testified that Senator Fulton appeared as
attorney for Burke and Goslin and that.
Rfter a short conference between Fulton
and Hall, who represented tho Govern
ment as United States Attorney, the ac-
cucd men waived an examination and
were held to the Federal grand Jury when
the information against them was- dis
missed.

Investigation of the Puter-McKinlcy-Ware
frauds in tho "U-7 ' case, J. W. HeiaieK,
a witness, testified that he accompanied
Special Agent Loomis on an investiga
tion of the claims and that only a
n,AtAntA mariA rf dilnff- thn work as
required by law. They also said that
Hall, in tne presence oi me jurura, uu
explained that he considered if Loomis
was to be criticized- at all It was because
of his laziness rather than a disposition
to defraud the Government or to prove
unfaithful to his trust.
J. W. Heldick, who admitted on cross
examination that he had received $350
from Puter for accompanying Loomis on
. V. . AVnmlnQf4r.n nf thft claims.
was ths) next witness. Heldick testified
that while he accepted 100 of the money
h 1'inn from Dan Tarnley
after the claims had been patented, ho
told Puter that he could not uo mo
crooked work that had been requested
of him in showing Loom'.s claims other
than those actually inVolved in the "11-7"
deal. He told of indorsing a voucher at
the request of Loomis certiiymg to uvo
days work, when only two days' services
wore rendered and for which he after
wards received a consideration of $15.
The purport of this . testimony was to
show the dishonesty oi loomis m con
tradiction of the contention of Hall that
ha was not unreliable, .
Mays Doesn't Remember."
The cross-examination of Edward Mays
by Heney continued for an hour yester
day morning, and the witness -continued
the remarkable record he established
Saturday of having forgotten everything
during his Incumbency of the Deputy
District Attorneyship under Hall. When
court adjourned Saturday, Mays found
himself badly entangled; and his v at
tempts yesterday to answer the questions
of the Government's attorney were no
more successful. It was apparent from
the attitude "of Heney that he believed
Mays was either deliberately falsifying
or . the witness did not have much of a
memory.
Before leaving the -stand. Mays de
clared that in his investigation of the al
leged Thayer timber land frauds before
the grand Jury, he acted solely under the
direction of Kail and Greene, and. that
If he failed to call before the Jurors wit
nesses that should have been heard, he
insisted that he was not responsible for
it. Mays maintained that if such was -the
case, he must have had the authority
either of Hall or Greene not to call such
witnesses. Mays denied positively that
he had at any time discussed any cases
that were before the grand Jury with his
brother, F. Pv Mays, who was the at
torney both for the Butte Creek Com
pany and Claude Thayer.
That Heney believed Mays was not tell
ing the truth was apparent from the fact
that- the prosecution Immediately called
a number of witnesses for the Govern
ment for the purpose of impeaching the
testimony of Mays. Heney's conduct of
other land-fraud- trials suggests the pos
sibility that, before the Hall trial ejnds.
Mays may find himself indicted on a
charge of perjury.
Hayes Contradicts Mays.
Charles E. Hayes, an attorney, resid
ing at Tillamook, who contested several
of the Thayer timberland claims,, was the
first witness called to impeach the tes
timony of Maya Hayes testified that he
came to Portland and met Edwin Mays
In October, '1901, and informed the assist
ant prosecutor that he wished to file an
information against Thayer and his as
sociates for making .fraudulent timber
land entries. Hayes said he further
represented to Mays that he had enough
documentary evidence to convict
the alleged land-fraud operators, but
was not given an opportunity to appear
before the grand Jury. Furthermore,
Hayes declared that, although Mays
made a number of appointments for him
with Hall during his visit in Portland,
he never met the District Attorney, for
the reason that that official never kept
any of the engagements.
On cross-examination by Judge Webster,
Hayes admitted that he had been in
dicted for conspiracy, but had never been
assured any consideration from the Gov
ernment, although he had been told that
the recent Supreme Court decision In the
Williamson case practically nullified the
Indictment against himself.
Deady Gives His Testimony.
Edward . N. Deady, ex-United
States Commissioner and late Special
Agent, testified that he had discussed
the Thayer case both with Hall and Mays
in 1902 and had delivered to Hall a mem
orandum of the testimony that would be
given by a large number of witnesses
he had seen. He 'said that the name of
Morris Leach was included in the list
he had furnished Hall, and that he had
never advised either Hall or Mays not
to call Leach before the grand Jury, al
though that witness .was summoned and
was in the city during the investigation
of the Thayer filings by the grand Jury.
Neither did Greene issue any such in
structions to the District Attorney's of
fice regarding Leach and his testimony,
insisted Deady, for the reason that
Greene had left Portland before the
grand jury was convened. The witness
testified further that both. he and Greene
had requested Hall personally to conduct
the Investigation of the Thayer case,
for the reason that they did not want
the examination to be made by Edwin
Mays, whose brother, F. P. Mays, had
been employed as attorney by Thayer.
S. C. Spencer, who was attorney for
Hayes in the contest proceedings against
the Thayer claims, identified a number of
the papers and documents belonging to
the contest cases which Deady had testi
fied had been turned over to Hall prior
to the time the Thayer case was Invest!
gated by the grand jury. Spencer further
testlfietl that when he was called as a
witness before the grand Jury in October,
1902, he requested from Mays the docu
ments in the contest proceedings but
Mays had told him that be. Mays, did not
have the exhibits and had never seen
them.
Hall Blocked Indictment.
John W. Dowell,- of Roseburg, and W.
P. Kirchem, of Logan, Clackamas County,
members of the grand jury before which
the Thayer case was investigated, agreed
In their testimony that shortly after the
Investigation was begun. Hall entered the
grand Jury room and said that the statute
of limitations had run against the Thayer
claims and rtmarked that it would not be
practicable to return an indictment. None
of the exhibits in the Hayes contest
cases, asserted the witnesses, were shown
to them in the Jury room. 1
The testimony of these witnesses was
objected to by Judge Webster, who main
tained that it was contrary to legal prac
tice for members of a grand Jury to dis
close what took place in their investiga
tions. Other than this objection, he said
the questioning of the witnesses was not
proper cross-examination. Replying,
Heney remarked that he had ' announced
several days before that he proposed to
offer testimony on the Thayer case in re-
ibuttal. He said he would show by the
testimony of these two witnesses that
Hall and Mays had been advised of the
Tillamook frauds as early as 1901, fully
one year before the statute of limitations
'had run against the conspiracy, and that
Hall and Mays were in possession of all
necessary evidence to conduct an inves
tlgation and return indictments asrainst
Thayer and his associates. , Judge Hunt
held mat. tne examination was compe
tent but Insisted that the trial should be
accelerated.
Witness Kirchem related that the jurors
had asked Hall why, if the Thayer frauds
were outlawed, the matter had been
brought before thein for investigation. To
this Hall had replied that it was neces
sary to make some disposition of the
case. .When asked why the . case had
been detained until the statute of limita
tions had Tun against it, Mr. Kirchem
said Hall had explained that the papers
had' been sent to Washington and for
some reason their return had been much
delayed. - "
Judge Webster's cross-examination of
these witnesses was vigorous invan effort
to copfuse them as to the facts attending
the inquiry In the Thayer case, but with
little success, for both Dowell and Kirch
em Insisted that Hall had told the jury
unqualifiedly that the statute of limita
tions had run against the alleged, frauds
by the Thayer crowd and that there was
but little use of returning an Indictment.
James Steel, State Bank Examiner, tes
tified that he was foreman of the grand
jury. In March, 1904, and that one of the
witnesses, Heideick, did not testify that
he had fooled C. E. Loomis, Special
Agent, when he accompanied him to the
McKinley-Ware claims. his was con
tradictory of what Hall had testified on
direct examination.

ARRESTS IiOS AXGELES MEN
Government Renews Charges of
Land Fraud 9 In Oregon.
LOS ANX3ELES. Feb. 3. That the Gov
ernment is determined to include local
defendants, already named, in the Oregon
land-fraud cases now under prosecution
at Portland was evidenced today by the
filing of a new complaint against Fred
W. Dennis, George L. Stearns, Warren
Gillehen, R. W. Kenny, A. H. Hedderly,
Will D. Gould, Lee R- Myers, Jeremiah
Huckley and other - stockholders of the
Pacific Furniture & Lumber Company in
the United States Circuit Court. Several
of the men appeared before Commissioner
Van Dyke during the day and furnished
bonds.
The complaint alleges that the defend
ants procured various persons to make
timber and stone land entries In the
Roseburg district and that afterward the
land .was turned over to the Pacific Fur
niture & Lumber . Company. A recent
Federal decision makes It possible for
defendants to offer evidence in extradi
tion proceedings.
The men indicted deny that they had
at any time anv intimate knowledge of
the affairs' of the Pacific Furniture &
Lumber Company or that any partici
pated in the alleged land frauds.
At Vaudeville Theaters
Grand.
A PROGRAMME of more than ordi
nary interest is that being given
this week at, the Grand. There is cer
tainly variety enough to suit the most
critical. The principal feature of the
bill is the juggler Nello. After one
has seen this performer go through his
difficult act, one is quite willing to
assert that "The Great Nello," as
he is featured, ranks among the high
est in his particular field. Chairs and
tables, cigars, .dishes and umbrellas are
tossea about with ease. Each succeed
ing turn becomes more difficult and
the spectator amazed at the success
with which the law of gravitation is
defied.
Brown Brothers, 'the college boys,"
give an original song and dance turn
that is diverting. Attired In the "ex
treme" clothing characteristic of the
college swell, these young men go
through some capers that would startle
any campus. Glenray and Russell pre
sent an amusing skit that gives Miss
Russeil a chance to use & soprano
voice of pleasing quality. Thomas
Glenray also has an opportunity to
give some laughable impersonations.
Minnie Middleton's Military' Maidens
would add distinction to any pro
gramme. The singing of young women
sucn as tnese is seldom heard in
vaudeville. They certainly are pictur
esque in their hussar uniforms of
black and gold.
Joseph K. Thompson sings a new il
lustrated song called "Bonny Jaan."
Gray and Graham give a lot of en
tertaiment in their sketch, "The Musi
cal Bellboy and the Military Maid.'
The show concludes with a new Bet of
moving pictures.
Pantage.
tTJATRONS of. Pantages will find
good deal of entertainment there this
week. The Four Coleys in their sketch
"An Evening at Home," introduce some
interesting and amusing features. All
their musical numbers were loudly ap
plauded yesterday. Coley, Jr. does some
fancy whistling that is bound to be the
envy and despair of every youngester that
hears him. The Misses Coley both have
pleasing voices and, contribute much to
the success of this particular feature.
Cal Stewart, the original Uncle Josh
of the phonograph records, assisted bv
Mrs. Stewart and Clem Magee, appears in
a playlet entitled "Uncle Josh on the
Bowery." It deals with the visit to New
York of a genial old farmer, who finds
the daughter of hia erring brother In an
establishment on the Bowery and takes
her back to the farm. There Is a good
chance for some excellent comedy work,
as well as some melodrama of the "Old
Homestead" sort and Mr. Stewart shows
that he is fully qual to all the demands
of the role. Mrs. Stewart is equally good
as Boozy Susie the Bowery girl.
Mysticus, the human chameleon,' gives
a novel act and mystifies his audience
with his sleight of hand performances.
Fred Bauer sings an illustrated song
"Aren't You Coming Back to Old New
Hampshire, Mollle?" The blograph shows

streets, which occurred last September,

Coroner - Finley. Dr. J. K. Locke, and
perhaps others, has causea a inriu oi
horror throughout Portland. These de
toiio hrniie-ht tn lls-ht bv Dr. Esther
C. Pohl, City Health Officer, in a report
to the Board of Health last Saturday
morning. The X-Radium institute, is
now under an examination which prom
ises to reveal a serious state oi anaim.
r.na.f WoTmnn-j nronrlfttor of the X-
Radium Institute at the "time of the
young woman's death and up to last
Saturday night, is wanted , by the police
on a charge of forging the name of Dr.
Carey Talbott to a public document,
namely, the death certificate of Miss
Rowland, last September, lie declares ne
was authorized to affix her signature,
but in a detailed statement issued yes
terday. Dr. Talbott emphatically denies
this assertion.
Fear Heymans Has Fled.
Dr. Pohl swore to the complaint be
fore Assistant District Attorney Steven
son, and asked the police to take prompt
action, but Heymans could not be found,
and it is feared that .he has fled. He
announced last Saturday night that he
had sold the establishment and was no
longer connected with IV
Dr. Pohl "declared last night that she
would demand that Heymans be followed
wherever he' might go, and that he be
brought back here to face the forgery
charge; it is also quite probable that a
manslaughter charge will be filed against
him. It is now believed that it is pos
sible for the authorities to prove that the
criminal operation - was performed upon
Miss Rowland during her sojourn in the
X-Radium Institute.
Dr. William E1sen, formerly connected
with the X-Radium Institute and now
under .. con viction for a similar offense.
declared yesterday that he has known of
infants, prematurely born in the place,
betng Incinerated in a furnace there. He
asserts that he is willing to swear to this
in court at the proper time, and adds
that Heymans authorized the acts.
"I think from my investigations that
the X-Radlum Institute is the worst
place In Portland," declared Dr. Pohl
last night. "I am strongly in favor of
driving it out of business, with all simi
lar places, by any means possible. I
never befere Imagined such a place ex
isted, or could exist, in our city. Think
of a poor, unfortunate girl, dying among
a crowd of grafters, such as Heynians
and his assistants!"
Criticise Coroner Finley.
In official circles is heard severe con
demnation ofv the . passive attitude of
Coroner Finley, who admits he knew at
the time that a crime was committed,
but made no effort to make public the
facts, nor reported them to District At
torney Manning. A close Inspection of
the death certificate of Miss Rowland re
veals a most astounding state of affairs.
Aside from the acknowledged forged
signature of Dr. Talbott, it is seen that
the certificate was carefully filled out
so as to avoid the fact that the death
occurred at the X-Radlum Institute.
On the line where it should have been
stated that she died-at the Institute, it is
written that she died at 1571 Macadam
street, which is the home of her parents.
Septic endocarditis Is given as the cause
of death, but Dr. Locke, who performed
an autopsy, declares the young
woman died as a result of a criminal op
eration. He failed to report the facts to
any public official, and, knowing the
facts, declared septic endocarditis to be
the cause.
Dr. Carey Talbott yesterday made the
following statement:
Dr. Talbot's Statement.
"My name was mentioned in an inter
view of Ernest Heymans, in which he
stated that I was in the employ of the
X-Radlum Institute at the time of the
young woman's death, and had been in
charge of the case personally for thee
weeks before the deceased girl. Miss
Rowland, was admitted to the X-Radium
Institute. In Justice to myself, I would
ask you to publish the true facts of the
case.
"I have never in any way been con
nected with the X-Radium Institute, ex-
cent to be called in on emergency cases,
llkeanumberof other reputable physicians
of this city. In regard to the death of the
girl mentioned, I wish to say that Bhe

tended her; was not present at the time
of her death, nor did I ever sign the
death certificate which. is now on file in
the Health Office of this city. A short
time after the death it came to my
knowledge that my name had been
signed to the death certificate, and I at
once notified coroner ijiniey and Dr.
Locke, who made the autopsy, that I
Had never signed the certificate or au
thorized my name to be used, and that
the signature to the death certificate was
a forgery.
"I have since that time had an interview

They reside in this city, and at the
proper time they will only be too willing
to testify to the fact that I never was
the physician in the case, that Miss Row

people, they paid to Ernest Heymans,
proprietor of the X-Radium Institute,
the sum of J100 for two days' hospital
fees for their daughter."
QUITS HIS JOB IN DISGUST
Kalama Marshal Loses Wager and Is
Butt of Practical Joke.
KALiAMA, Wash., Feb. 3. (Special.)
The Town Marshal of Kalama has quit
his Job in disgust. He figures that it he
cannot' tell the difference between one of
Kalama's respected young men and a
tramp, some one else ought to hold down
his job. And yet there is some excuse
for the Marshal.
The Marshal's troubles resulted from a
bet with one ol the young men of the
town who has aspirations toward becom
ing a thesplan, and who thinks he has
mastered the art ot make-up. He bet the
Marshal' that when made up, his own
father could not tell him from a tramp.
The Marshal took the bet.
One night soon after he had made up
for a. rehearsal of a play to be given by
local talent, a man came running to the
FEEBLE, INACTIVE KIDNEYS
cause rheumatism: and this
prescrrptiox proves it.
Slix It at Home it You Have Any
Form of Rheumatism or, "
Kidney Trouble.
Recent hosoital reDorts show that the
dread disease, rheumatism, is steadily
Increasing throughout tne country, au
known means of relief are being sug-c-este'd
to save the ereat amount of.
suffering this Winter, especially among
those who are not in a position to pacK
tip and visit the noted health resorts
to be treated. Recent tests prove rheu
matism not exactly a disease in itself,
but a severe symptom of kidney trou
ble, a condition caused by clogged up
pores of the 'eliminatlve tissues in the
kidneys which fail to filter the poison
ous waste matter and uric acid from
the blood, permitting these substances
to remain in the veins and decompose,
usually settling about the joints and
muscles, causing intense pain, swelling
and stiffness of rheumatism.
A well-known specialist, who has
nrobably treated more cases of rheuma
tism than any one eiHe, anu wi i aiao
the most successful, gives the following
simple treatment, which is harmless
and inexpensive, and so simple that
anvbody can mix it at home.
The ingredients are: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; compound byrup
Sarsaparllla, three ounces. Go to any
good prescription pharmacy and get
these three vegetable ingredients and
mix them by shaking in a. bottle, tak
ing as a dose a teaspoonful after each
mtal And as-ain at bedtime.
There is nothing better, in tne worm
for backache, kidnev and bladder trou
ble, too. Such symptoms as frequent
and painful urination, soreness, weak
ness, general and nervous debility are
caused by certain acids and poisonous
waste matter, aecayea tissue, etc., in
the blood which the kidneys will clear
and purify after a few doses of this
prescription.
Marshal in great perturbation, saying that
he had Just been held up by a drunken
tramp. Now the Marshal having had a
recent hold-up experience of his own that
did not linger cheerfully in his memory,
hastened off to arrest the tramp. He
found him in the act of holding up an
other citizen. It was an easy matter to
place him under arrest and, with the
help of the man who was held up, he
took him to the jail. Here the tramp
broke away and started on a lively sprint
down the street, the Marshal in pursuit
After a chase of many blocks he was
recaptured and taken to the Jail and

Meantime the father of the boy had
been notified that his son was in jail.
He hastened down town and met the
Marshal coming out.
"I hear you have my, boy in here," he
said.
"No," replied the Marshal, "there's no
body here but a drunken tramp. You can
see for .yourself." And he showed in the
dim light of a lantern a disreputable-look
ing tramp seated on the bed.
"You're right," said the boy's father,
and started to go out.
"Pa, don't you know me?" came from
the tramp in the cell, and a great laugh
from a crow on the outside told tha
Marshal he had lost his bet.
