14. THE ZUOItXIXG OREGONTAX, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, lIO; m HERMANN POINT OVERRULED iudge Wolverton, in Cham bers, Denies All Technicali ties Raised by Defense. TRIAL WILL END FRIDAY Attorney Heney to Open Argument Today, Case to Be Before Jury in Three Days Statute of Limitation Fails. COURT 01-EBBCLE8 ALL POINTS RAISED BY KKKMANN DKKKNSK. Judge Wolverton yesterday after noon overruled every point and tech nicality raised by the defense in the Hermann trial. The motions submit ted by Attorney Worthin-ton were: That the court should dismiss the case against Hermann because of lack of. jurisdiction. That the case should be taken from the Jury because the evidence has not 'connected Hermann with, the alleged Blue Mountain Forest Reserve conspiracy. That the statute of limitations, three years, expired between the date fixed as the beginning of the con spiracy, September. 1801, and the finding of the indictment February 13. 10O5. That the jury be Instructed to re turn a verdict of not guilty because the State of Oregon was defraud ed by the conspirators, if anybody. That the evidence of c. E. S. Wood, r. W. Tarpiey, Horace Mc Klnley and George Sorenson be withdrawn from the consideration of the Jury. That the Holslnger report be with drawn from the Jury. By agreement between the attorneys ind the court, the Hermann case will e submitted to the jury Friday at the iatest. Attorney Heney will open the) irgument for the prosecution and will consume all of today's session. Attor ey Gearln will follow with his argu ment Thursday morning;. Attorney Worthing will then address the jury md will conclude not later than Fri lay noon. Attorney Heney will have Friday afternoon for the closing argu ment. Attorney Worthington yesterday aft srnoon asked In vain for the dismissal f the conspiracy charges pending igainst Hermann before Judge Wolver :on and a jury In the United States Dourt. Attorneys for the defense asked for a hearing in chambers on points of law, supposed to pertain solely to the Instructions which the court will de liver to the jury at the close of the argument, beginning this morning. In the office of the Judge a number of motions were launched, the most Important of which was a contention that the Oregon branch of the Federai Court was without Jurisdiction to try Hermann. Attorney Worthington con tended that if a conspiracy was com menced in September, 1901, while Her mann visited the office of Henry Mel arum, then Surveyor-General of Oregon, It could not now be prosecuted, for the reason that three years had elapsed between the date of the conversation and the finding of the indictment. At torney Worthington also ocntended that after Hermann returned to Wash ington he was outside the jurisdiction of the Oregon court, and that if the de fendant performed any acts in further ance of the conspiracy they made him subject to the courts of the District of Columbia, where his trial should have been Initiated. Lack of Evidence Alleged! Attorneys for the defense Insisted that the evidence did not show that Hermann had entered Into any agree ment whereby he became a party to the alleged Blue Mountain conspiracy while In Oregon In 1901 and that the defendant could not have conspired in any manner which would make him subject to the local courts while Her mann was absent from the state. At torney Worthington cited the case of Aaron Burr, charged with a treasonable conspiracy, as well as a number of de risions from the higher courts. In the Burr case he pointed out that the de fendant was in sympathy with a meet ing of conspirators held on an island In the Ohio River, but was himself in an Kastern state, and that the Supreme Court had reversed the verdict against the man who desired the downfall of the Government. in refusing to take Judicial notice of the statute of limitations in the Her mann case. Judge Wolverton held to a decision rendered by himself in the Uma tilla conspiracy case. where Colonel Raley pleaded that the indictment had not been brought within three years fol lowing the date of the agreement to ac quire lands from the Government fraud ulently. The court ruled that a consplr- aoy was continuous so long as Its mem bers failed to take positive steps to re lieve themselves of responsibility. It was held that if the jury should he satisfied that a conspiracy was formed with .Her mann as a member, the Jurors were en titled to judge the alleged overt acts in promotion of the success of the Blue Mountain conspiracy alleged to have been performed by the Commissioner at his Washington office. State Motion Denied. The court overruled the motion that if the conspiracy really existed the State of Oregon had been defrauded of its school lands, and that the Government had not suffered in any manner. Attorney Worth ington insisted that prosecution of Her mann as one of the conspirators belonged to the state rather than the Govern ment. He contended that the Govern ment could not go back of the patent Is sued by the State Land Board to ascer tain what fraud may have existed In the application. Mr. Worthington argued that when the State Board passed on the case, the chapter was closed. Attor ney Heney argued for the decision of the United States Supreme Court, which de clared that title cannot pass from the Government to a ficticious person or a myth. ' In passing on -the exclusion of evi dence of C. E. S. Wood. . Tarpiey. Mc Klnley and Sorenson. relating to money which Man told them had to be sent to 'Washington fellows." that action on the Blue Mountain Reserve- should receive favorable consideration. Judge Wolverton announced that he would advise the jury that It must be convinced of the guilt or Hermann from acts other than the testi mony of those five witnesses. In asking that consideration of the Holslnger report of the operations of the aohool land manipulators be taken from th Jury, Attorney Worthington argued that the document did not reach Her mann until after the Blue Mountain Re serve had been withdrawn on recom mendation of the defendant, and that it could not have had any effect on that action. The report having been based on letters from Zabriskie and "Citizen." received prior to the withdrawal, it was admitted with the other documents. Government Rests Case. Mr. Heney occupied the forenoon in gathering loose ends of testimony con cerning Hermann's actions affecting for est reserves. He closed the case for the Government at 11:45 o'clock. H. W. Scott was recalled and continued his testimony concerning the reputation of Hermann for honesty and integrity. Mr. Scott had testified that before the land fraud inquiries he had not heard the honesty of the defendant questioned. Mr. Scott was shown an editorial printed In The Oregonian February 13, 1901. saying that Mr. Hermann had recanted his silver views and returned to the fold of the Republican party as his only chance to secure an office. Mr. Scott wrote the article. As Attorney Heney turned the files to find another editorial. Juror Metcalf asked Mr. Scott what the silver question had to do with the Blue Mountain Forest Reserve conspiracy. - Asked by another juror as to whether he had personal knowledge of the facts In the editorial of February 13, Just read to the Jury. Mr. Scott replied that he knew the facts personally, as he always did when making an editorial announce ment. ' Hermann Course Disapproved, i ir. Scott said that he had never questioned the honesty and integrity of Hermann editorially, nor had the defend ant been accused of official corruption, but that he had not approved Hermann's political methods. The witness had not heard anything against the reputation of Hermann for honesty. Newspaper charges may have been made against Hermann, he said, just as they had against Heney. but they made no im pression on him. Attorney Heney then called Porter Ap plegate, State Land Agent, who had been requested to search the files of the State Land Office for letters written by Tim Davenport, calling Hermann's attention in 1897 to state school land conditions. Applegate informed the Jury that he had been unable to find the communications. Heney then sought to prove the contents of the letters through testimony by Mr. Davenport, but way prevented by the court ruling, which held that it had not been shown that a thorough search of the' files of the Land Office had been made. ' Advance Information Barred. James H. Parker, law examiner for the Forest Service, and for 16 years con nected with the Department of the In terior, then took the stand for the Gov ernment. He testified that the rule of the Secretary of the Interior had always been that no information should be given out concerning withdrawals for forest re serve purposes until the withdrawals were completed and made permanent. The case was closed with the recall of Hermann and M. J. McVean, both of whom were questioned as to the elimina tion of certain portions of the Wallowa reserve. Heney introduced an unsigned letter of August, 1902, to show that it concerned temporary withdrawal of the Blue Mountain Reserve as recommended by Hermann. McVean testified that the letter was prepared by him and referred to making the reserve withdrawal a per manent reserve. C. B.'S WIN TWO VICTORIES Senior and Junior Basket Team Beat C. IT. M.

LACK OF FARMERS FELT Grain Exchange Told Tbat Breeding Cattle Diminish Rapidly. CHICAGO, Feb. 8.

During the year ending September SO, 1909, the State of Oregon expended only $314.9 in protecting its forests- from fire, and this1 amount was diebursed for postage, sta tionery and stenographer's salary and not actually in the work of fighting fires. However, there was expended by in dividuals, lumber companies1 and other persons and corporations, $40,164.71 and by the United States Forestry Service 45220.84. These figures were given in a report sub mitted to the State Board of Forestry to day by A. B. Wastell, secretary of the Board, at a meeting held in the office of the Governor at the State Capital. Credit Given Sheriffs. The report states that special credit should be given the 34 Sheriffs1 and 600 road supervisors, who served last season as wardens, without any extra compen sation. In reviewing the work of the forest service in the state, Secretary Wastell calls attention to the tremendous import ance of the forests, which comprise one sixth of the standing timber of the United States. The secretary points out that the Forestry Board should patrol and police the forests of the -state, by the employ ment of a State Forester and competent NOT I Wouldn't Allow It.

Hunting Season Kills Forests. Discussing fires and their causes the re port says: The hunting- season is responsible for a great many fires, through Its opening during the closed fire season when everything is dry, and whenever anyone who can raise a dollar for a license and borrow an old shotgun, can trespass in the forests whether of private or public ownership. Stockralsers and homesteaders cause a great many fires east of the Cascades, and while we might congratulate ourselves on the few fires reported, as a matter of fact In Inac cessible districts large fires occasioning a great loss raged during the past season. One of the greatest lfarms resulting from the fire in standing timber Is that the seed lings springing up through the forests are killed off. older trees being not much dam aged, but the loss of the new growth Is irreparable.

The steamer Yucatan will reach Valdez from Seattle tomorrow, and may be or dered to put out in search of the Faral lon s lifeboat, but she draws too much water for cruising close inshore.
