-We need not go outside of this

The pages of the Congressional Record

Walla Inquiry Is On.
SPOKANE. April 30. (Special.) That
no indictments against Spokane enumer
ators will be returned by tha Federal
grand Jury now investigating alleged
census "padding Is tha belief of those
familiar with tha cases. Tha differences
between the Spokane count and tha re
check made by special agenta are de
clared to have been due entirely to a
misunderstanding aa to methods to be
employed.
The most serloua Investigations of
those now under way are believed to be
concerned with the count at Walla
Walla, and it has been declared probable
that indictments may be returned against
enumerators there. The enumerators
who took tha Walla Walla County sen
ses were examined Wednesday by a
Federal grand Jury, and many hotel
proprietors testified.
Spectal Agent W. A. McKensle's re
check in Spokane was almost wholly con
fined to tha lodging-house district be
tween Post and Division streets, and
Riverside avenue and tha river.
The proprietor of a certain rooming
house Is said to ba prepared to testify
for the enumerators that on the day the
census wss taken and for weeks before,
and after the day on which noses were
counted, he took care of no less than
io persons a day. although be bad only
S bed. Many of the guests slept on
Improvised bunks In tha corridors and
In a large sitting-room.
It Is declared by enumerators that the
discrepancies He In tha fact that the
many transients In Spokane at the time
the census was taken are responsible
for tha unusually large population In
lodging-houses.
The offense of padding censua returns
Is a misdemeanor and Is punishable by

OR. SMITH TELLS
PACT WITH HENRY
Blocks R and S Pooled at
$500,000 Each, Is Testi
mony in Suit.
PRICE CUT DOWN LATER
Offer 3fade Subsequently by Henry
to Forego Commission Con
demnation Proceeding Will
Go to Jury Today.
That Dr. Andrew C. Smith and Charles
K. Henry entered Into an agreement
while the Government's representatives
were endeavoring to fix a postofflos
site, by which Mr. Henry offered block
R, Couch addition, for 1500.000. and Dr.
Smith agreed to offer block S at the
same price, was the testimony of Dr.
Smith yesterday. United States Dis
trict Attorney McCourt made him a
witness for tha Oovernment In rebuttal.
In tha condemnation suit wherein tha
Oovernment is seeking to secure the
east half of block S for $160,000.
Dr. Smith said that Mr. Henry went
to him and said he had put block R in
at $500,000. and ha wanted Dr. Smith
to put block S In at the same price.
Thla Dr. Smith said he agreed to do.
A contract was thereupon drawn up,
by which each agreed that whichever
sold his property would pay the other
15000 as a commission for tha sals.
Redaction First Refused.
Fenator Bourne came to Portland
later, said Dr. Smith, and wanted the
prioe reduced. -Bourne sent Henry to
lit," said Dr. Smith, "to tell us that If
wa did not knock down the price he
would not recommend the. purchase of
the block. Henry recommended that
wa cut down our price, so as to meet
Senator Bourne's demand. I refused at
first. Then he said, 'I have told Sen
ator Bourne that I nave nothing at
atake In this matter, and if you will
give an option on your east half of the
block at 1200.000 for 10 days I will
cancel this contract I have with you
for 16000.' He did so.
"He asked me to Interview A. King
Wilson, and to get him to reduce his
price. 'We would reduce ours, and then
we could make a quick sale.' he aald.
Mr. Wilson, representing the Espey
Estate Company, owner of the west
halt of block S, refused to reduce his
price a dollar. When I talked to him
he made some Joshing remark about
that being Uncle Sara's usual way of
doing business, and said he would stick
to his price..
"We then cut the east half fli.000.
which was. In reality, a cut of only
flO.OOO for us, because we disposed of
C K. Henry' graft of $5000. It Is a
dream of bis that we ever offered to
sell the property for llfiQ.000. Mr.
Henry thought at that time that thla
property waa a great bargain at
1200.000.
Contract on Prescription Blank.
"We made this $5000 contract on his
declaration that he had put In block
R at $500,000 when we put In our bid
for block 8 at $340,000. Although it
waa cheap at that money, he thought
he could get It through at $500,000.
Otherwise, he said, the two blocks
would be opposing each other, and he

thought it would be better to come to
gather. He waa to assiet In the dis
posal of block S at $240,000. This con
tract for the $5000 waa written by C
K. Henry in my office, on one of my
prescription blanks, and in It he held
me for $5000 In case block S waa aold.
If block R was sold I was to have
$5000. It waa discovered, however,
there were parts of block R to which
he had no more right than he had to
block S in 1909. Therefore block K
was a holdup.
"Mr. Henry seems to think he is the
whole thing down there," continued Dr.
Smith, In answer to another question
put to him by. Mr. McCourt. "He says
that after he had worked up this sale
for the Government I took the property
away from him and gave It to Bollam
& Thompson. It la Infamously falee. I
never had anything to do with Henry
except to negotiate this Sixth and
Everett streets property .through him."
Charles K. Henry waa then recalled
to the witness stand by District At-'
torney McCourt. and waa asked regard
ing his written statement to former
Postmaster Young, in which he offered
the block for $275,000. This testimony
was ruled out upon objection being
made by counsel for the defendants.
Henry Admits Commission.
Mr. Henry said the $5000 Item came
up In the latter part of 1910. "Dr.
Smith gave an option to somebody
else." said Mr. Henry. "I waa to get a
commission from him for the sale of
the block. I waa to get a commission
of $5000 If block S went, and he was to
get a commission of $5000 If block R
went. I went to him and told htm I
waa willing to forego a commission of
any kind if they would reduce the price
of the property so the Government
would take It- After A. King Wilson
had agreed to sell the Espey Estate's
half block for $125,000 I wrote out a
similar proposal for the other half.
-In 1909, when I first went to him.
Dr. Smith made me a price of $150,000.
There waa no talk at that time as to
who the buyer was to be. There was
talk then 'Of paying the usual commis
sion of 5 per cent on the first $2000 and
thi per cent, on the balance."
"I never authorised Mr. Henry to of
fer this property to the Government for
$150,000," said Dr. Smith. "I had a con
versation with him In July. 1910. In
which I offered the property for $240,
000." In arguing the case before the Jury,
Arthur C. Spencer figured the entire
block as worth $275,000 In September,
1909. Adding $41,250, the Interest at
per cent for two and a half years;
$110,000, the 40 per cent of unearned
Increment which witnesses said prop
erty In that section had gained since
the talk of the Broadway bridge, and
$5000 as commission, the entire block
would be worth today $431,250. Half of
this would be $215,625.
East Half More Valuable.
Mr. Spencer said he believed the east
half worth $100,000 more than the west
half of the block, which would make
the present value of the east half $265,
625, and of the-west half, $165,625.
Andrew C. Smith, the Security Sav
ings A Trust Company and the Pacific
Trust & Investment Company value the
east half at $250,000 and the Espey
Estate Company Is holding the west
half at $179,000. The Government
wlshea to pay $250,000 for the entire
block. $150,00 for the east half and
$100,000 for the west half.
District Attorney McCourt argued to
the Jury that bootblack stands, fruit
stands, bicycle stands, small cigar
a tan ds and small saloons would go In
In the vicinity of Seventh and GHsan
streets, near the new Postoffice, or on
this block when the Broadway bridge
Is completed if the Government does
not purchase It. "Give the defendant
the benefit of the doubt, and add $25,000
to the price the Government has set.
making it $175,000. but don't hold up
tha Government by compelling it to
pay the exorbitant' price of $250,000,"
he said.
