14 THE.MORXIXG OREGOXTA.7T, SATURDAY, JANUARY S9, 1916. BIG LAUGH IS HAD UN INDIAN TRIAL Judge A. S. Bennett Furnishes : Occasion, but Seems Hard- !y to Enjoy Mirth. GRAVITY OF COURT UPSET Jl.ipiiN Held Impracticable for Tribesmen Navigated by Lawyer in Small Craft, Testifies Federal Witness. The Joke was on Judge A. S. Ben nett, of The Dalles, but the judse well. Judce Bennett didn't exactly seem to appreciate it. However. Judire Charles E. Wolver ton. of the United States District Court, before whom it happened yesterday in the course of the hearing of the Gov ernment's suit against Frank A. Seu fert, cannery operator of The Dalles, 'in behalf of the treaty fishing rights of the Yakima Indian nation, certainly appreciated it. So did the whole courtroom. Every body roared except Judge Bennett hlm celt. and the court didn t take judicial notice of the disorder, either. To get the right angle on this story, be it known that Judge Bennett, as chief counsel for Mr. Seufert. has been attempting to show that Indian wit nesses who testified that the Yakitnas crossed the Columbia in canoes from the Washington to the Oregon shore at Big Eddy, just below Celilo, were toying with their imaginations. The Jude has maintained, and at a pre vious hearing called witnesses who wore to It. that it was physically next to impossible to cross the river there, or to navigate the rapids in a small boat. Grsmd Juryman Called. Robert R. Rankin. Assistant United Ftates Attorney, happened to question I.eo N. Shane, of The Dalles, a member of the present Federal grand Jury, whom he called as a witness, about the navigability of Three-Mile Rapids. Mr. Shane said promptly that he had been up the rapids in a small boat. "Who were you with?" asked Mr. Rankin. Why. I went with Judge Bennett, in the Judge's launch," replied Mr. Shane gravely. Federal Judge Wolverton suddenly sat upright on the bench and his eyes twinkled as he glanced towards Judge Bennett. The rest of the courtroom frankly laughed. Mr. Rankin seemed more surprised than anybody else. "Have you ever been up the rapids In a rowboat?" he questioned after the courtroom had regained its gravity. "Several times." responded Mr. Shane. Who was with you?" "Well." said Mr. Shane. "I went up once in a rowboat with Judge Bennett's law partner, Nick Sinnott. and Mr. Sin nott's brother, Roger Sinnott, was steering." Courtroom Kxplode. Again the courtroom exploded. Fed eral Judge Wolverton relaxed into a mile. Judge Bennett's face expressed mixed emotions. "Take the witness." said Mr. Rankin, after having brought out that Mr. Shane had made other vo;-ages up Three-Mile In a rowboat an '. didn't con sider It especially dangerous. But Judge Bennett didn't cross examine the witness very long. After a few more questions he let him go. Then Judge Wolverton took a hand in the comedy himself. "Was that Judge Bennett's private yachtr he inquired dryly. "Yes. I guess it was his private launch." returned the witness. The courtroom laughed again. Harriet Gulick. an Indian woman, told the legend explaining how Coom sooks. at Lone Pine point, the fishing place the rights to which are especially in question, got its name. WAR BROUGHT CLOSER BRITAIN TO FKKt RKSTRICTIOX OF IMPORTS KEK LV. Limitation Tobacco and Wood Pulp Recorded Kpeclal llardwhips. If I'nt Into Effect. IdONOON, Jan. 2S. The Rovernment's proposal for the restriction of imports i.s commented on in the press this morning, the belief beinf? expressed t hat the proposed prohibitions will bring the war much closer home to the people. The prohibition on tobacco is rcnardtd as n unnecessary hardship by some of the commentators, who point out that the ship space occupied by a year's tobacco Importation is less than a 12th of that occupied by wood I'll. p. The prohibition against the importa tion of building materials is considered a.- unlikely to cause great hardship, as little building is going on, owing to labor difficulties and the opposition oT the government. The Daily Mail, discussing the pro hibition of the Importation of paper, pictures the situation which is likely lo follow. "We shall go back to the condition of a century ago.' says this news paper, "when paper was something precious and carefully economised and when the people paved every scrap of it. Cheap books were then unknown. It cost shilling in 1'itt's time to produce a small pamphlet. There is not a, household nor a business in the country which will not be affected by the inevitable rise in the price of paper." STAMP TAXES OPPOSED Mr. ImII Writes Mr. Kilrliia lie Was Pledged Ilcfore K lection. OREGON! AX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. 2S. Representative Dill, of Washington, has written Chairman Kit hin. of the ways and mrana com mittee, raying that because of pre-election pledges he will be compelled to vote against any stamp taxes. He says he cannot support any bill proposing to raise revenue to defray the coit of preparedness that does not derive the bulk of such revenue from a tax on large incomes and from some sort of tax on manufacturers of muni tions. LAND BILL IS INTRODUCED Idahoan Offers Homestead-Preference Measure. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. 28 Representative Smith. of Idaho, has introduced a bill Riving preference right of homestead entry to atllicri on Carey, act projects which have proved or may prove failures. The bill provides that where lands within a Carey act segregation are restored to the public domain because of the fail ure to secure water for their reclama tion, those entrymen who have in good faith done as much as they could to comply with the law shall be entitled to a patent to the lands on which they settled. Those entrymen who have made their initial payment to the state and to the Carey Act Company shall have a preference right of one year after res toration in which to enter the identical land entered under the Carey act, or to assign the same to some other qual ified Carey act entryman. All that is necessary to earn patent is to show cultivation of not less than one-eighth the area of the entry during the first year, one-quarter during the second year and one-half the third year: but before final proof is offered, and not later than the fourth year, the entry man must have cleared the entire till able area. ICE STOPS PIER WORK PROGRESS 0' INTERSTATE BRIDGE HAMPERED BY .VI; VV FI.OES. Builders to Drive riling; in Attempt to Turn From Blocks All Steel Is Received. VANCOUVER. Wash., Jan. 28. (Spe cial.) Newly formed Ice fills the Co lumbia River and prevents the Pacific Bridge Company from protecting: or working on the unfinished piers of the Columbia River interstate bridge. The Titan, an immense, dredger, was taken to pier No. 1 today, but ice piled up in front so badly that the attempt bad to be given up. It is the intention to drive piling above the pier so the Ice will be sheared off. This pier has been filled with concrete to the water level and is now about ready for the cofferdam to be removed. The crib for pier No. 3 has been up turned by ice. With piling driven so the ice may be pushed to one side, the crib can be pulled back into place. Holes have been dug for piers Io. 3.

No. 8 crib is in place and ready for the concrete forms. All of the steel has arrived. The draw span has been completed, except the towers, and another span has been started. All of the dolphins driven above the piers in the river have been knocked out by the ice. DEER MEAT BRINGS FINES Vancouver Court Will Not Let Prop er! j -Owners Serve in Lieu. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Jan. 28. (Spe cial.) Blake Edwards and his son were arrested and brought here today charged with having deer meat in their possession. They pleaded guilty and were fined, with costs, the lather $35 and the son $22.50. They live at the head of Rock Creek. Ellis and Luther Baker, who were fined 885 and $115, respectively, on a similar charge and who threatened to serve out their fines, were liberated today that they might raise the money with which to pay their fines. This was done because both have property, and it was not the intention of the court that they should serve out the fine at an expense to the county.

SCHOONER REPEAT, LISTING, IS DOCKED Steamer Roanoke Anchors Her Prize and Goes to Sea Without Touching Wharf. SALVAGE IS 30 PER CENT Deck load of Lumber Has Sbiftcd, Part of It Has Been Lost and . Partitions Are Swept Away. Hull to Be Examined. ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 28. (Special.) After anchoring the waterlogged and abandoned schooner Repeat in the up per harbor, the steamer Roanoke headed for sea at 1 o'clock this morn ing without touching at her wharf. In his reDort to Harbormaster Sweet, Captain Dickson, of the Roanoke, said he found the schooner adrift off me halem Bay and placed a line on board her about 7 o'clock yesterday morn ing. Taking her in tow he proceeded up the coast, but when off Tillamook Rock the hawser parted and the ves sel was adrift for a short time. Another hawser was put on board by the mate and four sailors from the Roanoke, who had been transferred to the schooner, but it soon carried away. Then the Repeat's anchor chain was used as a towline, with the result that the steamer and her prize came in across the bar safely at 8:20 last night. Previous to that time negotiations were held with the tugs Oneonta and Goliah to bring the schooner inside, but finally Captain Dickson concluded to handle her himself. On arrival here the disabled craft was turned over to Harbormaster Sweet, who placed watchmen on board. The Repeat is completely water logged, but whether or not her hull is badly damaged ia not known. All her forerigging on the starboard side has been carried away, her head sails are gone, but her masts and her fore, main and mizzen sails are in good order. The cabin and forecastle are com pletely wrecked, the partitions being torn down, the bunks smashed and all the contents of the rooms swept away. The vessel has a decided list to star board and her deckload has shifted for ward, a portion of it. well forward, having gone overboard. The Repeat was en route from Po-t Ludlow to Honolulu with about 450,000 feet of lumber, comprising rough lum ber, flooring and piling. The estimated value of the cargo is $6000, while the value of the craft is estimated at from $5000 to $15,000. How much the salvage will be problematical, but it will probably be in the neighborhood of 30 per cent of the value of the vessel and cargo. Captain Dickson and the crew of the Roanoke will undoubtedly re ceive a goodly portion of this. , The claims of salvage of the vessel and crew are to be looked after by Sanderson Reed, attorney for the Doe interests, and Charles P. Doe. owner of the North Pacific Steamship Com pany. Just what will be done with the Re peat has not been announced, as orders from the owners of the steamer Roan oke are awaited. She will probably be taken to the municipal dock and her deckload discharged so her hull can be cleared and examined.

Men Marooned on Fire Island, for Whom Perilous Trip Was Made, Are Not Found by Searchers. SEWARD. Alaska. Jan. 28. The four men who crossed the channel to Fire Island Tuesday to attempt the rescue of the castaways believed to be marooned there and for whose safety fears were expressed when they did not return to the rescue camp on the mainland, arrived safely at Anchorage today, having rowed in their dory irom Fire Island through the Cook Inlet ice fields.
