Gl fiord & Co. have chartered the British steamship JaneLa for Sep tember loading at Portland. The des tination is given as Ft. Vincents for orders ana she will probably discharge at aome port In the Mediterranean. The Janeta is now at Sydney and she will cross the Pacific with a cargo of coal, either for the West Coast or for San Francisco. The vessel registers 2779 set tons. Charters for grain have been few during the last month. There has been a tendency to await the reports on the wheat crop before fixing too many ves els for Portland loading. Exporters have been buying heavily of late and the purchases amount to about 125.000 bushels of wheat a day. which Is more than a cargo for an average sailing vessel. At the present time, tonnage on the en route list amounts to about 10.000 more than at the corresponding time last year. The North Bank road and the Open River Company will bring in a quantity of wheat which will greatly increase the business over the amount handled during the fiscal year of 1907-8. With encouraging reports from the grain belt this lead will be greatly increased and the export season of 1908-9 will break all records for the Pacific Northwest. Steam tonnage will be used to a greater extent than formerly for the transportation of grain. There, are a large number of tramps in Pacific wa ters without charters and they will share rates a little In order to get cargo. The majority of the sailing ships fly the French flag.

Decks Are Cleared In Many Pending Cases Binger Hermann's Trial , Is Set for November 9 Dis position of Other Cases. eeven or me pending "Heney" land- fraud indictments were yesterday dis missed in whole or in part in the United States Court on motion of Tracy C, Becker. Special Assistant Attorney-Gen eral, ana . on the recommendation of Francis J. Heney himself. The trial of Binger Hermann, in the famous "Blue Mountain" case, was set for November 9. The other cases were . continued until the October term. ur. William H. Davis and Clark E. Loom is, an ex-Special Agent, who were Indicted Jointly in December, 1904, with Salmon B. Ormsby on a charge of con spiracy, yesterday withdrew their former pieas or not guilty and Dleaded sruilfv. Dr. Davis was fined 1500 but the sentence of Loomls. who Is expected to be a wit ness for the'prosecutlon m the Hermann trial, was suspended. Another indict ment against Dr. Davis, alleging perjury was dismissed on motion of Mr. Becker who interceded for Albany's ex-Mayor ana recommended to the court the e sessment of a minimum fine on the con spiracy charge. Mr. Becker said he had been informed that owing to the improvi dence and extravagance of members of his family. Dr. Davis for some time had been practically bankrupt and for that reason recommended a moderate fine. An Unpleasant Duty. In pronouncing sentence against Davis, Judge Wolverton commented on the fact that it was an unpleasant duty for him to perform. Judge Wolverton explained that he had been acquainted with Dr. Davis for years and had known him to be an honorable and reputable citizen. The court regarded that the offense of Dr. Davis was the restilt of a mistake rather than a criminal intent. In the same indictment the conspiracy charge was dismissed as against Elbert K. Brown and Mrs. Nellie Brown on mo tion of Mr. Becker, who said he was satis fied from the facts In the case that the connection of these defendants with the alleged conspiracy was only slight and Involved no criminal Intent on their part. After reading a letter from Heney, in which the graft prosecutor confessed that he believed the alleged conspiracy was barred under the statute of limita tions at the time the indictment was re turned, Mr. Becker caused the dismissal of the indictment in which Claude Thay er and others were charged with a con spiracy to acquire several thousand acres of Tillamook County timber lands fraudu lently. Mr. Heney directed this disposi tion of the indictment. Aside from Thay er, the other defendants included in the indictment were: Clark E. Hadley, Mau rice Leach, Walter J. Smith (now de ceased 1.

Hall case. Heney dragged this alleged conspiracy into the evidence offered against Hall as showing other unlawful transactions with which Hall was said to have been associated, The Meldrum Indictment. Indictment No. 2912, charging Henry Meldrum and others with conspiracy by making fraudulent surveying contracts, was dismissed as against Livy Stipp. At the time the Indictment was returned, Stlpp was Justice of the peace at Oregon City where he now holds the office of Deputy District Attorney. - In asking for the dismissal of the Indictment against Stlpp, Mr. Becker explained to the court that Stipp waa not an active participant in the alleged conspiracy and did only what he did as a Notary Public without knowledge of the criminal Intentions and operations of the Originators of the conspiracy. Another Indictment dismissed was that against Joseph Black and others in what is known as the "Wisconsin" case, lnese men were indicted for a conspiracy to defraud the Government of tlmberland in this state but the prosecution was de feated in an attempt to cause the re moval of the defendants from Wisconsin to Oregon for trial. Rather than have the docket further encumbered by the case, Mr. Becker caused it to be dis missed as to all of the. defendants. Mr. Becker also had Indictment No, 4S49. known as the "Los Angeles" ease, dismissed as against the defendants War ren Glllelen, Robert W. Kenny, Jacob U. Cross and George L. Stearns. This is the case in which the officers of the Pacific Furniture & Lumber Company and their agents were Imilcted for seek- - to rob the Oov-nni"1 1 of nearly 9000 acres of timber land in Curry County. Trials Resumed In October. The grind of the land-fraud cases will be resumed Monday, October 12, when Mr. Becker has arranged for the trial of the Pacific Furniture & Lumber Com pany case. The trial of thi case Is ex pected to occupy fully four weeks, as the Government has apyroximately 2000 letters relating to the alleged conspiracy and which probably will be offered as exhibits. Following this case, the trial of Binger Hermann will be taken up. a postponement of this trial from the Oc tober term for which it had been set having been agreed to by the Govern ment at the request of A. S. Worthing ton, chief counsel for Hermann, who has gone for a trip abroad and will not re turn until Fall. In arranging this ' order of the cases Mr. Becker requested the court to set the retrial of the Williamson case imme diately after the Hermann trial, for the reason that If Heney conies to Portland to try Hermann, which he intended to do, he would desire to retry the Williamson case at the same time. All of the other cases were continued until the October term, no definite date being set for any of them. Dan J. Malakey asked that the indict ment charging Frank B. Alley and others with conspiracy be set for trial at the earliest convenience of the court. He explained that he represented Mr. Alley, who waa particularly desirous of an im mediate trial. Owing to the fact that three cases had already been set for trial and probably would take up several weeks, Mr. Becker declined to indicate any definite date for the Alley trial, al though he assured Mr. Malarkey that the case would be called Just as 60on as It was possible. At the same time he ad--vised counsel for the defense that the Government had failed to apprehend two of the defendants in the case and until they had been located and arrested the Government desired to proceed cautiously In the prosecution of the charge. Mr. Malarkey pointed out that his client, prior to his indictment, was an extensive practitioner as Land Office Attorney, but during the pendency of the indict ment and the trial thereunder he had been suspended from the practice and practically cut off from the vocation on which he depended largely for a liveli hood. The only satisfaction Mr. Malarkey received was that the case against Alley could not be called until after the Pa cific Furniture & Lumber Company, Binger Hermann and Williamson cases had been tried. Expected More Dismissals. It was expected that a larger number of the indictments would be dismissed yesterday, for It has been regarded. for some time that the Government did not intend to prosecute all that were returned by Heney. That more of them were not dropped yesterday undoubtedly was due to the fact that "the prosecution is rely ing on a number of these defendants as witnesses against Hermann. No chances will be taken by the Government, and it is not expected that any of the other Indictments will be dismissed until after the Hermann trial and perhaps not until Williamson has been retried. In concluding -his remarks, Mr. Becker thanked the court for the extreme cour tesy and consideration that had been ex-, tended during the long and tiresome land fraud cases tried during the last six weeks. Replying. Judge Wolverton com mended Mr. Becker, as the representative of the Government, for the able and care ful manner In which he had conducted the prosecution of the cases. Judge Wol verton also extended his felicitations to counsel for the defense for their ener getic and faithful work In behalf of their clients. Mr. Becker left last night f6r San Fran cisco, where he will remain about three weeks. He expects to return to Port land about August 25 to attend the meet ing of the American Bar Association at Don't Ruin Yoar Best Horse Going for a Doctor Bowel complaints rc alwayt more or less pteralent during the Summer months, and many a man ha ruined hus best horse goings for a doctor when some of his family was suffering from cramp cobc or cholera morbus.

Compromise In Clute Case. Pending proceedings in the United States Court for the removal to British Columbia of. Arthur H. Clute and his wife, Minnie, for alleged larceny of diamonds and other Jewelry, probably will be dropped J. W. Fleischman, of Vancouver, B. C.. the complaining Jewelry merchant who tiaced Clute and his wife to this city, where he caused their ar rest, reached Portland yesterday and ef fected a compromise with the prisoners after discussing the case with Attorney J. F. Logan, who represented the accused larcenists. It seems that the felony, charge was filed against the Clutes fol lowing their departure from Vancouver without having completed payments on their purchases of diamonds. They agreed yesterday to pay the amount of Fleischman's bill. LOOK FOR HEADQUARTERS T. P. A. of Oregon and Washington Wants Offices In Portland. Headquarters in the city is being sought by the Oregon and Washington division of the Travelers' Protective Association of Amprii-n I- belncr thp in tention to lease two floors in one of ' the new office buildings of the city and fit up club rooms and general head quarters for the commercial travelers. It is the plan also to provide sample rooms in the same location so that commercial travelers coming to Port land to sell goods may use these rooms. nd it is thought the revenue from their rent will maintain the headquar ters that will be established. At a meeting of the directors . Saturday night, at the offices in the Commo wealth building, the following com mittee was named to take up the selec tion of headquarters actively and re port: W. G. Blake, Sam M. Cooper and J. C. Gibson. Several locations are under consid eration by the committee and it is ex pected that within a'short time leases will be closed for permanent headquar ters. Much work Is being done by the dif ferent committees of the T. P. A. that is effective, although unseen. Many drummers throughout the territory re ceive courtesies from the management of the various hotels that are due to the work of the hotel committee. There is an employment committee also that aids in securing positions for members of the fraternity when they are out of work.
