Th fa 1 1 n r of the Government to se
cure, convictions In the last two cases
that have been tried, namely, in
r - - . iinn.iT nnnth hrlberv case ani
the Booth-Singrlefon conspiracy case, is
believed to be an Important factor In
suggesting- the action that la contem
plated. However, ever since the John
H. Hall trial laet February, It has been
reported repeatedly that the Govern
ment did not Intend to try all of the
cases in wnicn Meney iouna inuici
ments. With the exception of the
Blnger Hermann conspiracy case and
a few or tne more important 01 tne re
maining 18 cases, which will be taken
up at the October term of court, it is
generally understood that all of the
minor cases will be dismissed at this
time.
Set Hermann Case Soon.
Mr. Becker said yesterday that the
Indictment against Blnger Hermann in
the "Blue Mountain" case most posi
tively would not be among the ones
that will be dismissed. Instead, he
said, a date would be fixed this week
for the trial of Hermann, which will
probably be held In October, when
Heney Is scheduled to return to Port
land and prosecute the case.
When the docket ha been relieved
of these cases, the Federal Court will
take an adjournment until the Septem
ber term, while Judge Wolverton enjoys
his annual vacation. September 28 is
the date et for argument on a demur
rer to the indictment that has been
filed by counsel for Rufus S. Moore,
who was Indicted with Henry Meldrum
and several others for conspiracy to
defraud the Government by means of
false and fraudulent surveying con
tracts. m
Before the court adjourns for the
Summer vacation, dates will be set for
the trial of such land-fraud cases. In
addition to the Hermann case, that It
may be decided to prosecute. It has
been decided that the first case to be
taken up at the October term will be
that known as the "Los Angeles" case.
In this Indictment, which was returned
In September. 190. by ex-District At
torney Bristol. Richard Jones and Wil
liam H. Smith and several other de
fendants are. charged with conspiracy
to defraud the Government of valuable
timberlands in Curry County.
Charged With Big Conspiracy.
It is alleged that the scheme orig
inally contemplated the seizure of
about 30.000 acrea of these lands, but
the conspirators had succeeded in gain
ing possession of only about 000 acres
when their alleged fraudulent opera
tions were discovered and the partici
pants indicted. Proceedings were re
cently conducted at Los Angeles by
&Ir. Becker, on behalf of the Govern
ment, by which he succeeded in obtain
ing an order directing the removal of
David H. Goodwin and Lee R, Myers,
two of the principal defendants, to this
state for trial. Most of the other de
fendants in this case are out on bonds,
pending the trial of the case.
Of what are known as the "Heney
cases." being Indictments returned by
the graft prosecutor while he was in
vestigating the public-land business In
this state. 18 remain to be disposed of.
A large number of these will be dis
missed on motion of Mr. Becker this
week. The following Is a complete list
of the pending cases:

ACQUITTAL IN BOOTH CASE
(Continued From First Pave.)
few ballots. Jurors Frank H. Wall and
A. B. Gibson voted for conviction. Wall
joined the majority before 10 o'clock Sat
urday night, when the Jury came into
court and received some minor lnatruc-
tlona, but Gibson held out until about 9
o'clock yesterday morning. ,
Tracy C. Becker, who conducted the
prosecution, declined yesterday to discuss
the result. It Is known that he was not
very confident of securing the conviction
of Robert A. Booth, but did expect to
associate James Henry Booth and Single
ton with Acee in the alleged conspiracy.
Late Saturday night, after the jury had
retired, Mr. Becker assured Robert. A.
Booth that he (Booth) need not ba
alarmed for the result. The Government
prosecutor confessed that the Govern
ment did not have sufficient evidence to
connect the ex-Senator with the alleged
conspiracy, and that the indictment real
ly should have been dismissed as against
him before the case was submitted to
the Jury.
Becker Wanted Case Dropped. '
This Is considered confirmatory of tha
report that before the Booth-Singleton
trial began Mr. Becker sought to have
the charge dismissed as against Robert
A. Booth, but Francis J. Heney, who re-
urned the indictment, refused to con
sent to aueh an arrangement and insisted
that the ex-Senator should be tried Joint
ly with the other defendants. Mr. Becker
refused yesterday to discuss any phase of
he case or his recent conference with
Heney In San Francisco, so far as It may
have related to the Booth-Singleton case.
At the time the indictment was re
turned against us." said Robert A. Booth
yesterday afternoon, "99 per cent of all
land accumulated by the Booth-Kelly
Lumber Company and the Oregon Land
& Livestock Company, concerns In which
I was interested, had been entered and
patents issued before the companies
were organised. When it was first re
ported in the papers that the affairs of
the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company were
being Investigated and that I might be
Indicted if) connection with the so-called
land-frauds, .1 invited the representatives
of the Government to visit the office of
the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company. I
agreed to furnish them with plats of
every acre of land owned by the company
and to submit for their further investiga
tion the documents by which the lands
were acquired. In answer W. J. Burns,
Secret Service Agent, assured me that I
had a good platform to stand on but he
did not avail himself of the invitation.
"At a subsequent time I met a Special
Agent who was connected with the case
and made the same offer to him. He de
clined likewise, explaining that he waa
not allowed funds with which to conduct
such investigations. r then proposed to
pay for such an examination and allow It
to be made under his direction but this
offer waa refused.
"The trial of the case disclosed that
the Government waa entirely without evl j

dence to support its charge and I am
convinced the indictment was returned
for purposes of Intimidation. But 1 re
fused to enter any negotiations with the
representatives of the Government and
insisted on a trial, feeling perfectly con
fident of the result. As to the lieu land
the defendants were charged with ac
quiring fraudulently, it Is a positive fact
that I did not know the company owned
the land until about 10 days before the
Indictment was returned. I am greatly
pleased over the vindication the verdict
of the Jury means to me.
Basis of the Case.
The defendants were tried under the
general conspiracy statute, the specific
charge alleged In the indictment being a
conspiracy, to defraud the United States
out of a portion of its public lands. It
was charged that they procured I.
Thomas Agee unlawfully to make final
proof to an unperfected homestead entry
In the Cascade Forest Reserve ana to
select In lieu thereof 160 acres of valuable
tlmberland in Lane County which he af
terwards sold, under the terms of the al
leged unlawful agreement, to the Booth-
Kelly Lumber Company Tor 300.
The trial of the case began Thursday,
July 16. Tracy C Becker. Special Assist
ant to the Attorney-General: United
States Attorney McCourt and Thomas B.
Neuhausen, of the Interior Department,
conducted the prosecution for the Gov
ernment, the defendants being represent
ed by Dan J. Malarkey and County Judge
L. R. Webster, of this city; A. C. Wood
cock, of Eugene, and Dexter Rice, of
Roscburg.
The members of the Jury were:
C. C. Hoopes, farmer, Yaquina Bay,

Great Britain is not only building
enough ships to keep herself In num
bers and tonnage equal to any two
rival powers: she is also keeping tha
nersonuel of her navy up to the mark.
and is providing as at Rosyth dock
yards and naval oasea ample in
equipment and convenient in location.
Tremendous as Is the display of pow
er in the number of ships in the North
Sea, her demonstration of readiness to
use them all efficiently Is even more
Impressive. To have sent out this
mighty fleet with scratch crews might
have been better than nothing. To send
It out with ample and amply trained
complements Is an achievement fit to
command the admiration of the world.

BDLT STRIKES FLAGSTAFF
STEEPLEJACK WORKING OX IT
GETS AWFUL FALL.
Tumbles 75 Feet Through Awning
and Strikes Heavily on
Pavement.
PHILADELPHIA. Atlg. 1. (Special.)
"Suddenly a thousand red-hot needles
seemed to penetrate all parts of my
body, and my head commenced to swim.
The needles seemed to be sticking into
my eyes and my brain. Then there
was an awful crash, which was louder
than anything I had ever heard, and
which stunned my ear drums, so that
my sense of hearing is still imperfect.
I thought that the end of the world had
come. Aa I lost consciousness I re
member that with all of the torture
of the red-hot needles there was the
queer dream feeling of endless falling.
Then I knew no more until I came to
In the hospital and heard the nurse say:
'He'll bo all right; only his knee Is
hurt.' " .
This was the description given by
Milton Snyder, expert steeplejack, of
his experience during the height of the
terrible electric storm when he fell
through an awning to the pavement at
Thirty-first and Thompson atreets after
the flagpole upon which he had been
working waa struck by lightning at a
height of 75 feet above the pavement
Snyder is in bed at his home at 727
North Twenty-sixth street, where he
waa sent from the German Hospital,
with his knee dislocated and suffering
from severe internal injuries. The
steeplejack had been working all after
noon at painting the high pole, which
stands on the top of a three-story
house and had paid no attention to the
severe thunder storm which had been
playing around him for several hours.
"I have often worked in thunder
storms, and had never been struck
before,"., he said, "and I did not think
there was any serious danger. Then
suddenly there came the bolt which
seems to have struck Just under where
I was working, from what they told
me at the German Hospital." The pole
on which he was working, later in
vestigation showed, snapped off Just
at Snyder's knee. In breaking, his.
knee was dislocated, but at the time
of the shock he says that he did not
notice the violent wrench which his
knee must have sustained.
. Still grasping the upper part of the
pole, the man fell over the edge of the
roof of the house and struck an awn
ing which covered one of the windows
at the second story. Bounding from
this awning, he fell to another one
projecting from the windows of the
first floor, crashing through this cov
ering to the pavement beneath.
That he did not lose his life Is un
doubtedly due to the two awnings
when he struck the street. Passers-
by who saw the bolt strike sent to the
German Hospital, and he was taken
there in an ambulance. After he had
partially recovered from the effects of
the elect'ricticy his knee was bound
up and he was sent to his hone. It i

CEREMONY IS IMPRESSIVE
Addresses on Purposes of Oddfel
lowship by Officers of Oregon
Lodges and Music Make
Up the Programme.
In the name of Friendship, Love and
Truth, the cornerstone, figuratively
speaking, was laid yesterday afternoon
of the temple being built by Orient
Lodge, No. 17, I.O.O.F., on the south
east corner of East Sixth and East
Alder streets, by Grand Master Edward
Hostetler, of The Dalles, and other offi
cers of the grand lodge of Oregon. As
the building is of reinforced concrete,
there Is no cornerstone, but the cere
mony was performed the same as lf
there had been ' one. Grand lodge
officers, escorted by the chevaliers of
Canton Lodge, No. 1, in brilliant uni-forms,-and
members of Orient Lodge,
marched from the hall on Grand avenue
and East Pine streets to East Sixth
and Alder streets.
Here the ceremony was opened with
a song by the Oregon Male Quartet.
Following came introductory remarks
by Grand Master Hostetler, who ex
plained that the ceremony was per
formed !n the name of friendship, love
and truth, the principles of Oddfellow
shlp, and he expressed the hope that
the temple started by Orient Lodge
would be carried forward to comple
tion and be a monument to the prin
ciples of the order. Dr. S. A. Star,
deputy grand chaplain. Invoked the
divine blessing. Then followed the
regular services of the Oddfellows.
A copper box waa placed in an opening
in the concrete wall at the northeast
corner of the temple, after It had been
sealed by Arcnitect Francis J. Berndt.
The box contained a picture of J.
Jeroleman, surviving charter-member
of the lodge, records of the lodge,
copies of Portland papers, personal
cards and small coins. Grand Master
Hostetler then sprinkled the wall with
water, which Is significant of friend
ship; roses were strewn about, repre
senting love, and grains of wheat,
symbolic of truth, were scattered by
the grand wardens. The grand master
then concluded the ceremony with the
ritualistic address.
Judge M. C. George delivered a brief
and eloquent oration. He said that
according to the declaration of the
grand master, a cornerstone was being
laid when there was no cornerstone
other than a fiat stone, but none Is
needed, for Oddfellowship is eternal
and worldwide in Its benign influence
After a patriotic song by the Oregon
Male Quartet, Grand Chaplain Star
pronounced the benediction and the
ceremony was over. Grand Master Hos
tetler was assisted by Deputy Grand
Marshal X. P. Tomlinson, Grand Warden
Thomas F. Ryan, Oregon City; Grand
Treasurer O. D. Doane. The Dalles; Grand
Secretary E. EL Sharon, of Portland
Deputy Grand Chaplain S. A. Starr.
Robert Andrews, of the building com
mittee, waa master of ceremonies.
There was a large attendance of mem
bers of the order and also of thi
Rebekah lodges. It Is expected the
building will be completed ready to be
occupied before or by the first of the
year.
