HENEY HURLS UGLY
HATHA!
Prosecutor Devotes Five Hours
to Assailing Testimony
Favoring Defendant. '
AMBITION DEEMED MOTIVE
Attorney Gearin to Open for Defense
This Morning Lawyer for Gov
ernment Outlines Alleged
Fraud Finish Friday.
Attorney Heney was unable to conclude
his argument against Hermann In the
five hours in which he spoke to the jury,
and the special prosecutor will be allowed
to finish Friday. Attorney Gearin will
open for the defense this morning.
Attorney Heney, in quiet tones, re
counted step by step the story of the
alleged Blue Mountain conspiracy against
the state school lands and the United
States, as theorized by the Government.
His address lacked the characteristic fire
of the "Heney orations." The prosecutor
told of the alleged "consuming ambition",
of Hermann, and welded his array of
testimony, saying it is circumstantial
proof that Hermann was one of the con
spirators who procured the Blue Moun
tain withdrawal and that his reward was
planned to be political honor and not '
monetary gain.
Throughout the argument the Govern
ment prosecutor attacked the veracity of
Hermann in an attempt to show the de
fendant was more interested In a political
preferment than In the public good,- and
that Hermann's motives were not, sincere.
The argument was directed particularly
against the testimony by Hermann that
he had stood at all times for the repeal
or modification of the lieu land law of
1S97, not applying it to unsurveyed lands,
and that he was the originator of the
idea.. Attorney Heney asserted that the
idea had come to Hermann from an at
torney in the office of the Secretary of
the Interior.
Hermann's Stand Assailed.
Reverting to the testimony of Hermann
that he considered the lieu land law the
"mother of land frauds in this country,"
the prosecutor said:
. "The timber and stone act is the grand
father and the grandmother of all land
frauds in Oregon, and without it there
would never have been any land-frauds
in this or any other state, and this de
fendant would not now be here on trial.
'Hermann started out to show that he
waa the only man in the Interior De
partment who was looking out for the
interests of the dear people, and that he
went before the committee on public
lands in advocacy of remedial legisla
tion. Hermann said from the witness
stand that Hitchcock went there once to
make an argument, and the witness was
unable to understand what he wanted,
except the repeal of the timber and
stone act. That was the only time which
would cure all the trouble.
"Compare the attitude of Hermann with
the attitude of Hitchcock and the Jury
will be led to the irresistible conclusion
that Hermann was giving the people
buncombe. Hermann knew that Congress
would not repeal the lieu land law at
that time, and as a matter of fact It
was not repealed until after the Indict
ments had been returned against these
defendants In 1905 resulting In a great
clamor from the public.
"Hermann was the man above all oth
ers who was charged with saving the
public lands from the timber thieves.
Hermann had the knowledge, and re
ferred to it in his reports for 1900 and
from year to year, but the lands could
not be saved by the special agents of the
type of Loomla and others who were
in the field and submitting fraudulent
affidavits over paltry sums of . $2 and 3
a day, or by writing acceptances for
boxes of grapes and oranges. The lands
could have been saved by Hermann' had
lie read the newspapers during his many
visits to Oregon from 1S98 to 1901, or by
talking with people who knew what was
going on."
Defendant's Veracity Attacked. j
Attention was directed to the letter
from "Citizen" which reached the Com
missioner in January. 19000, and which
pointed out 4n detail the operations of
Hyde and Benson in the. Cascade re
serve. It told Commissioner Hermann
that Hyde was the owner of the 40,000
acres of school lands which at one time
belonged to Oregon, and which, the news
papers considered,- belonged to K. P.
McCornack. The scheme as outlined
in that letter, argued Heney, was
Identical with the plans put forth by
Mays and his associates in the Blue
Mountain reserve case, and from that
basis the prosecutor assumed that it
had been in the hands of Hermann.
"Valk is the only man who testi
fies that the Citizen letter was ever
in the hands of Hermann," said Heney.
"Attorneys for the defense will say
that because Valk was in the employ
of Benson and was betraying, his trust
as an employe of the Land Office, he
should not be believed. I admit that
Valk is not a man of high character,
but he could doubtless have brought
men of high standing to justify him.
But as between Valk and Hermann,
who has the deeper interest in the
matter?
"If Hermann admits that he saw that
letter he had just as well plead guilty,
and for a similar 'reason the Commis
sioner would not admit he saw the
Zabrlskle letter and Holsinger report
prior to the Blue Mountain case. We
are going to show that Herrgann lied
on a number of occasions, and that he
never hesitated to do so when the
truth would hurt him. f'alk had no in
terest in lying. He was out of the
.and Office and If he did not want to
tell the truth all he had to do was to
get his forgetter in working order."
Citizen" Letter Cited.
Attorney Heney drew the Inference
that Hermann was bearing the "Citi
zen' letter in mind when he told Em
met t Callahan there was no need to
worry because Oregon men were ac
quiring Blue Mountain school lands.
"Hermann knew." said Heney, "that
Hyde and Benson had secured the
40,000 aires in the Cascades and he
hoped there would be no protest when
it was known that the Californlans
had been shut out of the Blue Moun
tains. -
"It is plain." continued the prosecutor,
"that Mays and Soreneon had heard
about the deal in ttre Cascades. We know
that Sorenson later secured an addition
to that reserve and cleaned up e. com
fortable fortune from the school land?.
Then the gang looked around and found
that all the school lands in the etate had
been gobbled up. Then they decided to
rreate one. Then poor old, unsophisticated
Hermann got into town looking after hip
epitaph concerning friends and favors. It
was not a bad motto he never forgot a
favor or failed to reward a friend but
a better one would have been. 'Well done,
thou good and faithful servant.'' "
;b. visit by Hermann to the oil fields
of California, argued Attorney Heney,
was made in a private car with a crowd
of magnates headed by Hyde, the land
manipulator.
Returning to the Senatorial aspirations
of Hermann, the prosecutor analyzed the
letters of Brownell and Loomis. Attorney
Heney used the Brownell letters as an
attack upon the reliability of all the tes
timony given by Hermann, Hermann
had testified that he knew C. P. Hunt
ington only in a casual way, but wa?
forced to admit the authorship of the let
ters' wherein he wrote he possessed an
intlrrate acquaintance and would be able
to secuie.a position for Brownell in an
appointment as Southern Pacific attor
ney. Attorney Heney closed his argument for
Jhe oay in upholding the testimony of
Meldrum. asserting that Hermann ' had
corrol-crated the chief incident when the
!efendantadmitted going to the office of
the Surveyor-General in September, 1901.
The neiniiiy of Witness Baumhoer. who
teatttUd .f:r the defense that Hermann
was not tlTCTe when Mays called, was
attacked because Baumhoer could not say
who rny of the men were who attended
the meeting. Attorney Heney disputed
the evidence of C'athcart, who contra
dicted Meldrum, upon the plain ground
that it w&s not truthful, or if Cathcart
thought f-e was telling the truth, it had
been su:?,-;eted to him by Hermann, for
vhoni the witness admitted a strong
friendship. Holmstrom. janitor of the
State Jfouse.-. was disputed Vseaus-3 he
was uraMt to tell the names of other
porstfs he saw at the Meldrum office
when Herrrann was supposed to i avo
heon tlieie or recount any ineiient of
t"i days le visited Meldrum.
The evidence of Klncart and Miller,
who testified that when on McNeil's
Island Meldrum had said he had been
promised a pardon of the imprisonment
part of his sentence, was disputed on the
ground that Meldrum had been required
to serve his full term.
Heney Praises Defense.
Beginning his argument before the
jury Attorney Heney announced his
belief in the guilt of the defendant.
He said he would not appear at a
prosecution without that opinion. The
prosecutor maintained that he was not.
attempting to lead the jury to a like
conviction of mind, but believed it ihe
duty of an attorney to point out the
relation which one piece of testimony
bore to another, as an assistance' in
determining a verdict. He congratu
lated the jury that its long siege lif
the trial of the Hermann charges was
drawing to a close. Then, turning
toward Attorneys Worthington and
Gearin. he thanked them for the
courteous manner in which the. case
has ben conducted.
Attorney Heney called attention to
the fact that Mitchell, Hermann, Wi?
liamson. Mays, Jones and Sorenson had
been accused of attempting to procure
fraudulently a large amount of school
land from Oregon, and described the
method by which the conspirators were
to transfer the land to the United
States under the operation of the lieu
land law. By stipulation of the attor
neys in the case, all evidence as to
Williamson has been eliminated from
this trial.
Document Xot Needed.
Passing to tthe charge of the .forma
tion of a conspiracy involving 3Ier
mann. Attorney Heney contended that
the Government was not require'l to
show a written agreement had been
entered into between the men named
in the indictment.
"The court will instruct you," he
said, "that if it is shown that the minds
of Hermann and some one or more of
the other members of the conspiracy
met at some common point, and the
acts of Hermann tended to assist in
any manner in carrying out the pur
poses of the conspirators, the Govern
ment will ask a verdict of guilty as
showing that we have established the
connection of Hermann beyond a
reasonable doubt."
Refering to testimony as to the repu
tation of Hermann for honesty and in
tegrity. Attorney Heney said that lc
had been presented by men of stand
ing, but all of them had been for many
years connected with politics. He then
called attention to an editorial in The
Oregonian of December 30, 1902, show
ing the character of the defendant.
He asked the jury to bear the editorial
in mind during the argument. The
editorial Interposed no objection to the
retirement of Hermann from the United
States Land Office or his entry into the
Senatorial campaign in this state." It
described Hermann as a "sleek and oily
politician; of unction unsurpassed and
palaver unapproachable."
"During the time Hermann occupied
the witness stand," said Attorney
Heney, "he showed that he was truly
in palaver and unction unsurpassed.
We got both from the stand in cart
loads, but sometimes it took an hour
to get a direct answer."
The prosecutor, in dwelling upon Her
mann's ambition to become a Senator,
asserted It was that ambition which
caused him. to bring ex-Special Agent
Loomis from Washington to Oregon after
Loomis had been accused of forwarding
crooked account vouchers to the de
partment, and had received a coat of '
whitewash from the hands of Special ,
Inspector Dixon. It was argued by At- '
torney Heney that the same motive
caused Hermann to retain Ormsby In the
forestry division, and which caused Her
mann to wink and close his eyes to the
land frauds which the Government con
tends he knew 'all about.
"Why did not Hermann write these
agents on whom he was relying for cor
rect Information," asked the prosecutor,
"and tell them to wake up and report
honestly on the conditions out here and
In California? Instead we find him In
September talking with two of the land
frauders in the office of the Surveyor
General, and both of those men probably
in position to help his ambition."
Attorney Heney asserted that he did
not contend that it was wrong for Her
mann to order the temporary withdrawal
of the Blue Mountain Fores Reserve,
but asserted that It had "been proven that
Hermann had knowledge of the fact that
Mays and Sorenson were manipulating
school lands at the time that the with
drawal was made.
Interview Cited as Ruse.
He pointed out that shortly before the
conspiracy began Hermann had an
nounced in an interview that he would
not recommend the formation of more
forest reserves, and that it was natural
that Mays and his associates should at
tempt to get Hermann to change his
mind in this instance.
"They were politicians also," argued
the attorney, "and they probably knew
that Hermann was only posing when he
gave that interview to the papers, and
that after the people had a view of the
pose, the Commissioner would allow them
to steal the land behind his back."
Attorney Heney made a point of the
testimony of Clerk Hough, who said that
Hermann required . all Oregon letters to
come to his personal desk and forbade
the stenographers to peruse them. Hough
had also testified that Hermann always
dictated replies to Oregon people.
"There was nothing wrong with Her
mann answering those letters himself."
said Attorney Heney. "and if he had
been an honest man he would have ad
mitted it. Instead of ducking and dodging
around by saying that many of them he
never saw, because his- secretary would
answer some, and refer others to the
divisions. He ducked and dodged be
cause of a guilty conscience.
"CTrime always sears a . man's con
science, and soul, and brain, like a brand
burned into the bark of a tree. ' It may
heal over from the outside, but years
later the brand can be found in the heart
of the tree. Hermann was attempting
to cover up something when he was in
that witness chair."
DECISION TO WAIT
Judge Withholds Fire Alarm
Case Settlement.
SECOND HEARING IS GIVEN
National Automatic Company Con
tends Board of Fire Commission
ers Made Contract Amount
ing to Franchise.
After a second hearing before Presiding
Judge Morrow, of the -Circuit Court, the
demurrer to the comnlaint in the case
of the National Automatic Fire Alarm !
Company against the city remains unde
cided by the judge.
After prolonged argument, in which
each of the attorneys present took sev
eral turns, the judge said he was not
inclined to sustain the city's demurrer to
the company's complaint, but would hear
the casa on its merits. During the argu
ments City Attorney Kavanaugh began to
ask Attorney H. W. Hogue, representing
the company, a few questions, evidently
for Judge Morrow's banefit.
City Electrician Testifies.
City Electrician Savarian was present,
and was called by the judge to give
testimony regarding the manner in which
the automatic alarm attachments in
terfere with the city's fire alarm system.
He was not placed under oath, however,
and the company had no wltne-sees on
hand to contradict his statements, as it
had not been contemplated that the case
would go to trial until the demurrer to
the complaint was disposed of and the
city's answer filed.
The City Electrician, said there is con
stant danger that, the automatic alarm
company's vires will become cross?d with
feed wires of high voltage not only to
the interference of the city fire alarm
system, but to the great danger of the
public. 1
In answer to he City Attorney's ques
tions across the table. Attorney Hogue
said he wants the city to take out its
red boxes which have been installed in
the- business district, and to permit the
company to place in their stead its auto
matic connecting boxes.
Alleged Contract Made?
"We contend the Board of Fire ConJ
missloners made a contract with us.
which amounts to a franchise, which will
last forever, and entitles us at all times
to use the city's fire alarm wires for
our auxiliary systems, he said. The
same points of law that were taken up
before Judge Morrow last w-?ek were
threshed out by the warring attorneys.
Judge Morrow, aftr the attorneys for
the automatic alarm company cited au
thorities, said he thought their points
well taken. He finally decided .not to
decide upon the demurrer until he reread
the authorities submitted by both sides.
WEHUl'AG WINS $ 3 0 0 O SUIT
Verdict Demands Payment of Coun
try duly Manager's Salary.
The Portland Country Club and Live
stock Association must pay W. H. Weh
rung $3000 for his services as man
ager during last year's fair, if the Su
preme Court sustains the decision of
the jury in the Circuit Court. A sealed
verdict for this amount was returned
Wednesday night and read by the clerk
In Judge Cleland's department yester
day morning. Attorney George Joseph,
representing the association, has five
days in which to give notice of an ap
peal. The question of payment or non-payment
of Wehrung's salary hinged upon
the validity of a contract under which
he was employed, but which was re
pudiated by the association's board of
directors.
It appeared from the testimony that
the original agreement was that Weh
rung should draw his salary only from
protits of the association, he having
agreed to donate his services should he
fail to make the fair a financial suc
cess. The contract, subsequently signed
by the officers of the association, con
tained no such qualifying clause.
Judge Cleland, In instructing the
jury, said that even though the con
tract were unauthorized. If entered
upon by Wehrung in good faith and
not repudiated by the directors before
the manager finished his worR, their
failure to protest against it would
amount to a ratification.
GROCERY STORE WANTED BACK

represented Mortgage Values.
E. T. Rehfield accuses L. S. Winters,

Circuit Cort yesterday, asking that
his grocery store at 354 Third street

Paterson. N. J., face value. $500. Reh
field declares the value of the bonds

PIE HUNT IS ALL IN VAIN
Detectives Get Urgent Call, but Evi
dence of Crime Is Lacking.
It was a quiet day yesterday in the
office of the City Detective staff In the
Worcester'bullding. No reports of crimes
were coming in and Detectives Tichenor
and Howell were -sitting about as emer
gency men awaiting something to turn
up. . The telephone bell rang and Captain
Moore took the receiver.
"Boys," said he to the two detectives,
"eet UD to the restaurant of J. U'nrk
44 Glfsan street, as fast as you can.
The place has been burglarized."
Excitement ensued and the two detec
tives went on their errand In haste. Half
an hour later they returned and made
out the following report of the crime:
"Restaurant burglarized. List of stolen
property, three pies. Description of stolen
property, 1 apple. 2 cherry." They had
barely finished the report when the tele
phone rang again. Someone had some
very urgent information to impart. It was
said, aboutthe burglary. Tichenor took
in puune.
"This Is Work's restaurant," the voice
said. ."We've discovered that there is a
quarter of a pound of butter missing, too,
that we d like to have returned. The
sleuths made an investigation of nearby
restaurants to see if they could identlfy
any of the pies, but finally gave it up
as a bad job and added a postscript to
their report on the burglary to the effect
that . after a thorough investigation of
the case they had come to the conclu
sion that the evidence had been eaten.

Vibrant Nerve Force
Supplied to Man.
(From "Man's Maladjies.")
Without stamina man is a fail
ure. What is stamina? It is con
s t i t u 1 1 onal vigor-health. It is
keen, -responsive, vibrant nerve
force, that gives wonderful inner
strengjth of will, sustains a sound
body, snpports a wise mentality,
makes money and keeps friends.
Keen, strong, sensitive nerves
make stamina and with It man
can excel in business, sport,
pleasure and social favor. With
out it he is apt to be weak
voiced, "weak-memoried, feeble in
motion, with cold hands, cold feet,
nervousness, timidity, fear with
out cause, trembling, melancholy,
pain in the back of head, neuras
thenia and a general lack of grit,
courage and nerve- so that it is
impossible to act naturally under
all circumstances, as a man with
stamina should. It should be the
aim of every man to correct the
condition responsible for failure
and unhappiness,- for it can be
done by the simple fulfillment of
nature's law that the nerves re
ceive their nourishment through
. the blood, which enables the
herve fluids to recover the daily
waste which Is constantly taking
place. The nerve fluids and body
tissues undergo constant changes,
and unless the supply is equal to
the demand the stream of health
ebbs low, and misery prevails.
Astonishing strength, nerve
force and poise is quickly re
stored by the following valuable
formula, which anyone can pre
pare in the privacy of home.
First, obtain three ounces of
syrup sarsaparilla compound in
a six-ounce bottle; add one ounce
of compound fluid balmwort,
shake well, and let stand two
hours. Then add one ounce tinc
ture cadomene compound (not
cardamom) and one ounce com
pound essence cardiol. Mix.
Shake well and take a teaspoon
ful after each meal and one when
retiring.
The above Ingredients, except
tha. syrup, are rare concentrations
of purest drugs without opiates
and are used for various pre

In every walk in life discrimination between the true
and the false wins and enjoys success. In questions of
form, of style and of values, whether financial, commercial
or medicinal, the judgement of the men and women who
select and appreciate and utilize the true and genuine
product, proves most profitable and most satisfactory to
themselves and to all who follow them.
Therefore, in connection with so important a subject as
the physical well-being of the people, the most eminent
physicians insist on full information as to the wholesome
nature and truly beneficial character of the component
parts of the remedies used and prescribed by them, and the
wise manufacturer not only supplies them with the'
knowledge desired, but also combines for them in proper
proportions the very substances most approved by them
and omits every objectionable substance. The world-wide
acceptance of Syrup, of Figs and Elixir of Senna by phy
sicians and the well-informed of the world, as the best of
family laxatives, is due to the universal satisfaction which
it has given for more than a quarter of a century and also
to" the fact that it is a remedy of known quality and known
component parts and to the further fact that the California
Fig Syrup Go. presents it to the world simply as the ideal
strengthening personal laxative to cleanse and sweeten the
system gently, yet effectually, and to dispel colds and
headaches and to assist in overcoming constipation. To
get its Beneficial effects always buy the original and
genuine, for sale by all leading druggists. The full name
of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is always
plainly printed on the front of every package.
