Francis J. Heney Asks Leni
ency for Notorious Land
Fr?ud Operator.
TELEGRAPHS THE COURT
Goes Over Head of United States At
torney Bristol, Who Asks That
Penitentiary Term Bo Or
. dcred Fine Is $7500.
Thanks to an immunity bath, not a
plunge, but a hasty dip, so to speak,
IHorace G. McKinley, convicted land
fraud operator, yesterday escaped a
penitentiary sentence in the Federal
Court. Acting on a telegram received
from Francis J. Hcney, the Government s
special prosecutor, advising the court
that McKinley was to be a witness for
the Government in the trial of pending
land-fraud cases, and was therefore en
titled to leniency. Judge Wolverton im
posed a fine of $7500 and a sentence of 18
months in the County Jail, where S. A.
D. Puter, McKinley's co-defendant,
served his sentence.
A significant feature of the court pro
ceedings was that the telegram requesting-
that McKinley be given a jail sen
tence was addressed to Judge Wolverton
personally, and not to United States At
torney Bristol, who was present repre
senting the Government, but who had no
knowledge of the fact that Mr. Heney
had interfered in the matter until the
court read the telegram.
The courtroom was crowded yester
day morning; when Judge Wolverton
took the bench. It was generally
known that McKinley was to be sen
tenced. When a few minor cases had been
disposed of. came McKinley's inning.
Accompanied by a deputy United States
Marshal, McKinley. looking like a fashion-plate
and carrying in his hand a
spotlessly white fedora hat. entered
the courtroom, outwardly calm and
self-contained. While McKinley was
entering the courtroom by one door
his wife hurried into the clerk's office
and through a. - door half opened saw
and heard what was going on Inside
the courtroom.
Does' Not Mince Matters.
United States Attorney Bristol did
not mince matters when he arose to
address tho court. While Mr. Bristol
had no knowledge of the TIeney tele
gram which Judge Wolverton had re
ceived, he made it very plain that the
case of McKinley. like other land-fraud
cases which have been designated as
1be "Heney cases." was something that
j.e knew little about, because it had
never been turned over to him by Mr.
jleney. In addressing the court, Mr.
Bristol said:
This Is the time appointed for tho sen
tni of Horaco G. M-Klnley. defendant In
I lie case of the United 8tates analnht
Varle Ware and others, and as I know of
no reason why sentence should not be im
ro at this time. I recommend to your
Honor, as this ca?e conies under section 5440,
which provides for a nne not in excess or
$10,000 and Imprisonment not In excess of
ten years, that this defendant be sentenced
to pay a fine not less than $7f00 and not
more than tio.ooo and be Imprisoned for
Ihe term of two years as the discretion of
the court m&v dictate.
In this case another defendant S. A. D.
Puter. received two years In the County
Jail and a $7500 fine, and I know of no
reason which would relieve the defendant
from any less punishment, and so I recom
mend a fine of $7500 and two year' im
prisonment. Lawyers Ask Mercy.
When Bristol had concluded, Judge
Wolverton ordered .McKinley to step
forward. In reply to an inquiry from
the court as to whether he had any
thing to say before sentence was pro
nounced, McKinley replied: "Judge
Pipes will have something to say."
Judge Pipes spoke briefly. He said
that he did not consider McKinley
worse than others of the land-fraud
defendants who had been tried and
convicted, and for that reason asked
the court to Impose a Jail sentence;
not to send his client to McNeil's
Island.
Judge Wolverton then reviewed the
Indictment under which McKinley was
convicted. He said that he considered
McKinley and Puter the chief con
spirators In the case. Judge Wolver
ton then announced that he had re
ceived a telegram from Mr. Heney and,
without explanation, read the follow
ing dispatch:
San Francisco, Feb. 25, 1908 To Honor
able Charles Wolverton, United States Dis
trict Judge. Portland, Or.: In sentencing
Horace G. McKinley I respectfully suggest
that you will consider the fact that the
Government will require his testimony in
some of the remaining land-fraud cases, and
If consistent with your sense of duty, direct
that he may be confined In the County Jail
In Portland. FRANCIS J. HENEY.
Court Reads Telegram.
After reading the telegram Judge
Wolverton continued, saying:
It Is commendable on your part to be will
ing to testify on behalf of the Government.
Puter did the same thing and your testi
mony may be of assistance. The court im
posed a sentence of two years' imprison
ment on Puter. and as you are Just as
culpable, the court now directs that you
"be imprisoned In the Multnomah County Jail
for a period of two years and pay a fine of
17500. and you stand committed until both
prox-lslons are imposed.
That the fact that Mr. Heney had
"gone over his head" and ordered an
immunity bath for McKinley was a
surprise to Mr. Bristol was clearly
manifest. He rose as soon as Judge
Wolverton had concluded and said:
"I desire to announce that as United
States Attorney I know nothing about,
and am not a party to any agreement
whereby McKinley will testify for the
Government."
McKinley, together with S. A. D:
Puter and others, was indicted and
convicted in connection with the
famous "11-7" case. With this indict
ment, which was returned March 17,
1904. Mr. Hcney began breaking up
the Oregon land-fraud ring. McKinley
was tried and convicted in December,
1901. Because Mr. Heney had other
and bigger game to bag. McKinley was
not sentenced and. while sentence was
pending, he fled to Chli!, taking with
him. it is said, a woman called "kittle
gypt." who deserted him after' reach
ing the Orient.
For three years he remained a fugi
tive from justice and it was not until
a special arrangement had been made
with China that steps for his extradi
tion were takoii. He was arrested in
China, but escaped. Ho was recap
tured and Deputy United States Mar
shal Kerrigan brought him back to
America. McKinley arrived in Port
land ten days ago.

MAKES LARGE INVESTMENT
Eastern Capitalists Pay $4,500,000
for Coast Timber Lands.
'About 35.000 acres of timber lands in
Northern California have been acquired
by a syndicate of capitalists from New
York and Pennsylvania. The deal naa
been pending since last November and
the fact that it has been Anally consum
mated and that it involves the invest
ment of approximately J4.5OO.O0O. is re
garded bv financiers as a cheering indi
cation of restoration of confidence on
the Pacific Coast.
J. A. Wheeler, of Portland, is the local
representative of the syndicate, and as
Mr. Wheeler formerly lived in -ortvuie,
N.' Y., where a majority of the Investors
live, he was in a position to give tnem
valuable Information concerning Coast
timber lands. Mr. Wheeler is of a fam
ily that for Tour generations has been
engaged in the lumber business, and
owns large interests m timDer lanas in
California and Oregon.
The lands In Northern California re
cently taken over by the syndicate lie in
what Is known as the Big Lagoon tract,
in Humboldt County, and are heavily
timbered with redwood. Owing to the
fact that a water outlet to the sea Is not
now provided, it is said to be the inten
tion of the new owners to postpone cut
ting the timber. The purchase was made
as an Investment. The former owner
was C. A. Hooper, a pioneer timberman
of San Francisco.

Issues Written Statement Contro
verting Accusations Made by tho
Editor of Advocate Gives
His Side of the Case.
Rev. Baker B. B. Johnson, pastor of the
Mount Oiivet Baptist Church, who Is ac
cused by Ed D. Cannady, editor of The
Advocate, with having sought to dis
credit that paper by means of anonymous
letters written to advertisers, vigorously
denies the charge and has announced his
Intention of bringing a libel suit against
the editor. He has retained Attorney
Ernest Brand to prosecute his case.
Through his counsel Johnson has Issued
a statement in which he denies that he
committed the offense attributed to him
and incidentally refers to the fact that
during the past year the editor of The
Advocate has printed many false and
malicious reports concerning all of the
colored preachers in the city.
Mr. Johnson's written statement is as
follows:
In taking charge of Mount Olive Baptist
Church. May 1. 1907, I was notllled by Dea
con Featherstone that Mr. Cannady had
some trouble with a pastor two years prior
to. that time, by the name of Laws, and
who had the church notices taken out of
the paper.
When Mr. Johnson went by reauest of
some of his members asking Mr. Cannady
for third Dlace in the paper, he was re
fused same.
I have never called on Mr. Cannady but
the one time since coming to this city, and
have never spoken of him In a public meet
ing but twice.
Refused to Participate.
Three months before laying the corner
stone of Mount Olive church. Johnson
asked the Masons. Elks and Oddfellows to
assist in the occasion. A few days after
that the Oddfellows and Masons notified
that it would be Impossible for them to take
part, but up to this date, he has never
received notice from the Elks. Mr. Johnson
secured Dr. Brougher for the occasion and
the Advocate says that he had canvassed
the fraternal organizations to helo. and
gave Dr. Brougher the honor, by presenting
him with a silver trowel. This Johnson
spoke of at the laying of the cornerstone, be
cause he wanted the friendship of his race.
From April 1. 1907, to this date the Ad
vocate has been indulging in unkind re
marks about the negro preachers of Port
land. On the first occasion, one preacher
vaa called a low. degrading name too low
to be mentioned, hut can be seen in the
Advocate. On the next occasion, one was
called a drunken, low street-walker, verv
dirty, and deserving to be starved to death.
Ail tnis stirred up the negroes in Mr.
Johnson's flock. On the next occasion, one
was called an impostor, darting out at every
corner of the street holding meetings; and
all this had a tendency to bring on this
present trouble. A few weeks ago another
preacher was called a fortune-teller, pin
head, back-woodner. and deserving to be
driven out of the city. Now. let us get
the Advocates on Hie and see if these things
are not true.
Mr. Johnson has never made any attack
on Mr. Cannady until last Friday and
Saturday, when he heard through his dea
cons that Mr. Cannady had told them on
Wednesday, the 19th. that Johnson must
give up his church and leave the town at
once.
Warned of Trouble.
On Friday, the 21st, Johnson called on one
of his members, who is a dear friend of the
Advocate, and she told Johnson that for
three weeks oast there had been talk of
getting him to leave the town, and asked
her to hold a private meeting and make him
resign. On the same evening. JohnBon
called on another of his members whom
Just a few days before had some trouble
with the Advocate, and she told Johnson
how Mr. Cannady had served all of the
other preachers, and even J. C. Logan. She
advised him to protect himself for fear of
trouble at night, as there had been some
talk of running him out of the city.
Johnpon therefore, called on the Chief of
1 illj
off, t.- - ;

STANFORD SHY II BOUT
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
REFUSES TO LEXD SHELL.
Oarsmen Believe Chances of Victory
Would Be Lessened if Boat Were
Rented to Stanford.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.. Feb.
29. (Special.) Although a shell had been
promised by the University of California
.to graduate Manager Knupp for the train
in)? of the cardinal' freshman eight, the
Blue and Gold boating; interests at the
last moment refused to rent the shell
to Stanford. ' This fact was ascertained
yesterday when Coach Turner went
to Berkeley to make arrangements
for the shipping of the shell to the Stan
ford training quarters at Redwood City.
Upon reaching Berkeley, he was 'met by
John TysBownkl, the manager of boating
at the University of California, and was
informed that It would be impossible for
California to loan Stanford a shell. .
The University of California has three
eights, one of which has never seen ser
vice, and It Is the desire of the ,Blue and
Gold boat crews not to use this shell
prior to the intercollegiate race with
Stanford. They believe, their chances for
victory will be Increased if they row In
a beat that has never been subjected to
the wear and tear of water.
Jf this were done, and another shell
rented to Stanford, the Blue and Gold
crews would have but one shell In which
to train. One of their shells was Injured
and cannot be used for several days, and
Berkeley is unwilling to rent to Stanford
even this damaged boat, owing to the
fact that the Berkeley oarsmen are averse
to using their new boat before the inter
eollepiate regatta.
But notwithstanding this unexpected de
cision of the California men, Coach
Turner states his intention of continuing
the development of a Freshman eight.
Varsity and freshmen will train in the
same shell. This will have to be done
to conform to the intercollegiate agree
ment which calls for a freshmen eight
this year.
No date has been set for the intercol
legiate regatta, although the question has
been discussed by Coach Turner and Boat
ing Manager Tyssowskl, and It Is probable
that the race will be held" some limn in
April. The matter will come before the
executive committee, of the University of
California at its next regular meeting.
