United States Dis trict Attorney John Hall Is to be allowed to continue in office, at least until iie has concluded the government's case against : various persons -who have been Indicted recently In connection with- land frauds In Oregon. This conclusion was reached ! by the Oregon delegation, after a two- ' hour conference today. Explanatory of its meeting, the delegation gave out the following statement tonight: "The Oregon delegation held its flrst meeting today for the purpose of ponslder lng the United States District Attorney ship In Oregon, and after considering the matter carefully arrived at the conclusion that, in view of the pendency of important business before the United States District Court in Oregon, It would be unwise at present to make any change, and therefore they did not attempt to reach any agree ment as to a recommendation, nor have they, nor will they for the present con sult the department In relation thereto." Today's conference was devoted entirely to the discussion of the district attorney ship. No other matters came up. It was apparent at the outset that the delegation Is evenly divided over Judge Moreland and . George Brownell, hut there Is an expecta tion that by the time tho pending cases in the District Court are disposed of some compromise may be brought about. LAND FRAUDS EXAGGERATED Hermann Says Nation Has Not Lost as Many Acres as Represented. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 7. In an interview today, Representative Hermann expressed the opinion that reports of extensive land frauds in Oregon and adjoining states on the Pacific Coast have been greatly exag gerated. While he admits some frauds have been perpetrated, and there may be some convictions, he believes there has been far less Infringement of the law than has been Intimated. He holds many operations under the provisions of tho lieu land law have been misconstrued Into fraud, when, as a matter of fact, the transactions have been perfectly legal. This, in his opinion, is true with regard to the wholesale acquirement of land by corporations and large lumber companies that have been operating in Oregon and California. He says there has been some fraud in Southern Oregon, no doubt, and a little in Eastern Oregon, but not such an amount as to justify the reports. While there has been little fraud, in his opinion, the Government has been cheated out of millions of dollars worth of valu able timber lands, but this transaction has been legalized by the lieu land law. He holds Congress responsible for allow ing such a law to remain on" the statutes against repeated recommendations he made during his term as Land Commis sioner. Asked If he intended to lead a flght for the repeal or modification of this law, Mr. Hermann said he had not yet mapped out his session work, and could not say just what he would do. He favors cither the absolute repeal of the lieu land -law, or modification to limit exchanges to a "llke-for-llke" basis. He does not approve of the plan of exchanging lands in preserves for nontlmbercd tracts, suggested In the an nual rep"brt of Land Commlsioner Rich ards. He says this would not fully prqtect the Government against unjust exchanges. HERMANN STANDS BY MOODY. Indictment Against ex-Congressman Is Termed Contemptible. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 7. Congressman Hermann, discussing the recent indictment of Mal colm A. Moody, said today that he re garded the action against the ex-Congressman as most contemptible and abso lutely unjustifiable. He deplored the fact that politics in Oregon had reached such a condition that men will attempt, by means of In dictments, to besmirch the character of a man of Moody's sound reputation. He said he was surprised to learn of the indictment through the papers before he left home. Congressman Williamson, like the two Senators, admits having heard of the Im pending Indictment some time before tho action of the grand jury was announced. He will not, however, discuss the matter for publication. REGISTER'S BOND IS APPROVED Watson WIJI Succeed Brattain at Lakevlew at Once. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 7.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 7. Based upon a recom mendation contained in tho annual re port of General A. W. Greely, Chief Sig nal Officer of the Army, an attempt tvIH bo made at the coming session of Con gress to secure an appropriation for a submarino telegraph cable to run from Valdes to Sitka, Alaska. General Greely urges the appropriation of $321,680 for the construction of this cable, and gives as a reason for the ex penditure the fact that this last link in the Government telegraph system of Alaska is needed to give an all-Amerl-can line connecting with every part of Alaska in order to do away with the necessity of utilizing Canadian lines.

WIDOW PROTESTS IN VAIN Nebraskan, However,- Refuses to Make Clear His Action as Reg-arete Decision Declaring $50,000 Bequest Invalid. NEW HAVEN, Nov. 7. In the Probate Court today William J. Bryan was ad mitted to act as executor of the will of Phllo S. Bennett, an objection to him made by Mrs. Bennett's counsel being overruled. The amount of tho bond was fixed at $350,000. Counsel on both sides in dicated that an appeal will be taken. Court proceedings opened with a ques tion from Judge Cleaveland, who pre sided, as to whether counsel desired to be heard on the form of the decree to be entered in the case. After some dis cussion it was agreed that a conference between counsel on both sides early next week should determine the form of decree to be submitted to the court for approval. Judge Stoddard asked If counsel for tho executors would state definitely whether Mr. Bryan Intended to qualify as an ex ecutor. He pointed out that if Mr. Bryan declined to do so, Mr. Sloan, partner of Mr. Bennett, would remain sole executor Mr. Stoddard, counsel for tho heirs, said that he would urge Mt. Sloan fo continue, but be would protest Mr. Bryan. Mr. Newton, counsel for Mr. Bryan, said Mr. Bryan intended to qualify and to act as an executor. "Then I want to known further," said Judge Stoddard, "if Mr. Bryan Intends to take an appeal from the decision of your honor." Mr. Newton That wo shall decide 'In due time. "Then I enter protest now against Mr. Bryan as executor," said Judge Stoddard. Mr. Nowton answered: "Mr. Bryan will not appeal from the admission of the will to probate. Whether ho will appeal on the court's decision to exclude the sealed letter he is not required to state now." Mr. Stoddard then began a speech of further protest and explanation, saying: "Your honor has decided that tho sealed letter is not a part of the will. We, shall insist upon the performance of his duty as executor if Mr. Bryan is to act as such. But if there is any lingering sus picion that he Intends to take an appeal, It is not right that he shall qualify also as executor. He cannot serve two mas IOO Doses For One ,Hotlar Economy in medicine must bo measured by two things cost and effect. It cannot be measured by either alone.

It he intends to uphold the law a3 your honor haa spoken it in your de cision, it will be contrary to law to un dertake to destroy jfthat will. By taking appeal from your decision Mr. Bryan "un dertakes a course for the advantage o himself and his family. He cannot put aside tho interests of his family If he chooses to put aside his own in this mat ter. This is a property affair. If that sealed letter is a part of the will, Mr. Bryan's family have a property Interest, and unless by some formal renunciation he puts beyond pcradveature the question of whether he will try to take advantage of that sealed letter, he may also be con sidered to claim a property interest. "It is utterly inconsistent for Mr. Bryan to act as executor and at the tames time take an appeal from the court's decision. If your honor should hold, that that IsNlaw, I shall advise my clients to take an appeal to test the mat ter.' "Under some other clauses of the will, certainly the 17th clause, Mr. Bryan takes as trustee, and not as an individual, certain moneys. As trustee under that section of the will, it will be Mr. Bryan's duty to upnold that section. If he be comes executor, he also stands as trus tee under ttie will. In that particular case, his position is also extraordinary. That creates two contesting parties un der the will, and one of them seek3 to qualify as executor under the instrument. I should not think that he would want to fe.el that his dumr as trustee might in fluence him against his duty as executor. I again protest against the qualification of William J. Bryan as an executor." Mr. Newton contended that Mr. Bryan's duty as executor in np way conflicted with his other duty under the will. The argu ment by Mr. Stoddard was, he said, on behalf of those who intehded to frustrato the intent of tho man through whom they have received large benefits. JUdge Cleaveland ruled that he had no discretion in the matter, and had no right to prevent Mr. Bryan from qualifying as executor. When the amount of the bond was reached, Mr. Bryan said to the court: "The amount of the estate is, on its face value, about 5302.000. A part of that is book accounts, and tho actual value 1V1AKE YOUR SELECTION NOW . ...

M.: Sundays, 8:30 A. M. to 3 P. 1L thereof cannot bo stated by any one with out a careful examination of the books, more extensive than I have given. I am willing that Mr. Stoddard shall suggest the amount of the bond. I have no pref erence In the matter at all. So far as acting as executor is concerned, I have been asked to act by the testator, and as I have said publicly I feel that I ought to do it, unless the court appoints soma one who is interested in carrying out the will. Instead of attempting to defeat it." Mr. Stoddard pointed out that the estate was practically partnership property, which would require some months to turn into money. He suggested a small bond, with the reservation that his client have the right to come into court whenever a t large- amount is coming into the execu tor's hands and seek to have the bond Increased. Judge Cleaveland said he made it a rule always to have the bond ample. He suggested either ?325,OCO or $250,000. Mr. Bryan said that would be satisfactory to him, and tho court fixed the bond at $350,000. Bryan Leaves fop New York. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 7. W. J.

Common sense would suggest that if ona wishes to become fleshy and plump It can only result from the food we eat and di gest, and that food should be albuminous or flesh-forming food, like eggs, beefsteak and cereals; In other words, the kinds of food that make flesh are the foods which form the greater part of our daily bills of fare. But th trouble is that, whilo we eat enough, and generally too much, tho stomach, from abuse and overwork', does not properly digest and assimilate, it, which is the reason so many people it main thin and under weight; the dlge3-' tlve organs do not completely digest thd food forming beefsteak and eggs and simr liar wholesome food. There are thousands of such who aro really confirmed dyspeptics, although they may have no particular pain or incon venience from their stomachs. It such persons would lay their preju dices aside and make a regular practice of taking, after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the food would be quickly and thoroughly digested, because these tablets contain tho natural peptones and dlatase which every weak stomach lafiks, and by supplying- this want the stomach is soon enabled to reach lis natural tone and vigor. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of flesh-forming food meat, eggs, bread and potatoes and this is tho reason they so quickly build up, strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and children. Invalids and children, even the most del icate, use them with marked benefit, as they contain no strong. Irritating drugs, no cathartic, ndifany harmful ingredient. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most successful and most widely known of an remedy for stomach troubles because it la the most reasonable and scientific of mod ern medicines. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets aro sold by every druggist in the United States and Canada, and well as in Great Britain, at 50 cents for complete treatment. Nothing further is required to cure any stomach trouble, or to make thin, nervous, dyspeptic people strong, plump and well.
