That J. W. Logan, of Seattle, on trial
In the United States District Court,
charged with fraudulent use of the
malls, still was engaged in taking "ap
plications" from prospective settlers on
the Oregon & California Railroad grant
lands as recently as last March, or
three weeks after a secret indictment
against him had been returned by the
Federal grand Jury here, was testified
to yesterday in Judge Bean's court' in
the trial of Logan and W. F. Minard,
of Portland, and E. J. Sellers, of Ta
coma. who were Indicted at the same
time.
Logan New Object of Attack.
The Government prosecutors yester
day afternoon switched their guns
from Minard, who had been under a
heavy fire since the opening of the
case last Friday, and concentrated
their attack on Logan.
This was dene under a ruling by
Judye Bean, to which Claude Strahan,
one of Minard's attorneys, saved an
exception.
Judge Bean's ruling came after a
contest between District Attorney
Rtsames and J. C. Dennis, of Tacama,
attorney for Logan. Mr. Keames asked
that evidence be admitted of Logan's
nets as an individual, and not aa a
party to the alleged "conspiracy to
defraud," with which he, Minard and
Sellers are Jointly charged, these acts,
Mr. Reanies said, having occurred after
the completion of the alleged "con
aplracy." Mr. Keames asked that this evidence
be admitted as tending to show Logan's
Intent In his previous acts, for which
he Is on trial.
Intent Only la Conaldered.
Aa sucn, the evidence was admitted
by Judge Bean, with an admonition to
the Jury that it could have no bearing
on the charges against Minard and
Sellers, or on those against Logan,
except as showing his Intent.
With yesterday's witnesses the extent
of the alleged fraudulent operations of
the men on trial was shown to have
ranged from Seattle to Los Angeles and
from Chicago to Portland.
Evidence was given showing how
whole families invested in the "loca
tions" on the railroad grant lands, and
how a person, once a "locator," be
came an effective "booster," getting
his friends to "invest" likewise.
One person to whom Logan sold an
alleged fraudulent land location was
Mrs. O. A. Brugler, of Watsonville, Cal.,
whose husband had procured a "loca
tion" from Logan three weeks before,
according to their evidence.
Insurance Buya Locations.
Brugler la a young stationary engi
neer. He has lost an arm and he ex
plained that the $300 he and his wife
paid for the two locations was received
as insurance for the accident which
crippled him.
"I explained to Logan that we only
had a little money that I received for
the loss of my arm," said Brugler,
and told him that I cjuldn't afford
to take any chances. He told me I was
taking no chances whatever."
Mrs. Brugler told of Logan's coming
with her husband to their home to ex
plain the plan whereby they were to
gut the railroad land.
"Mr. Logan told us there positively
was no chance of our losing," she said,
"and that the reason the railroad com
pany wanted people to settle on the
land was so they could get the timber.
"But there was no chance of our
losing" she repeated, with emphasis.'
If the Government won the suit
against the railroad company we would
get the land, but the only way the
railroad could win was to sell the land
to eettlers at $2.50 an acre."
other witnesses gave similar tes
timony. All were emphatic that Logan
had told them they couldn't lose.
Locationa Called "finch."
"Logan said It was absolutely a
cinch," aaid Thomas J. Praster, a
barber of Tuolumne. Cal., whosald that
at least eight people in that town
bought "locations" from Logan at $130
each at about the same time he did and
afterward.
He said that hie attention first was
called to Logan's proposition by an
"ad" in a San Francisco paper, to which
hie brother-in-law directed his atten
tion In June, 1913. He wrote to the
"Oregon Realty Company," which was
advertising "homestead relinquish
ments," and Logan came to Tuolumne
to see him.
G. F. Eade, now of Daly City. Cal.,
but formerly a grocer at Attica, Ind.,
told of meeting Logan In Chicago in
September, 191-', as a result of an ad-

Innovation Future Is Expected
to Bring to Skyscraper.
DULUTH, June 14. That the sky
scraplng office building of the near fu
ture will contain many new features is
the prediction of C. A. Patterson, sec
retary of the National Association of
Building Owners and Managers, in ad
dressing that body here today.
"Innovation," said Mr. Patterson, "is
the middle name of the modern sky
scraper. It will be only a short time
when big office buildings will have
elevators running not only up and
down from the street to the top of the
building, but running horizontally1 on
different floors. Furthermore, patrons
will pay fares to ride on these eleva
tora and get transfers from the verti
cal lifts to the horizontal, just as we
get them on streetcars.
"They will pipe pure air from the
country right into the big city build
ings. Just as they pipe pure water, and
bungalows built on top of tall buildings
will house the owners in Summer. A
building permit for such a bungalow
already has been taken out in Chicago."

saying: "That Is not a name. However.

delay, differences between Democrats

of many Senators to have all the pend

Many Senators are declining to par
ticlpate in discussion of the interstate

measures. When asked how soon the
securities bill would be ready. Senator
Newlands, chairman of the Interstate
