THE BUKDAT OREGCXNIAff, PORTLAND, DECnnREK 27, 1903. ASKS A RETRACTION C. A. S, Frost Writes to the U. S. Senators. DECLARES HE IS INNOCENT San Francisco Attorney Appointed Assistant in Land Fraud Cases Says He Was Charged Only With Contempt of Court. C A. S. Frost, the San "Francisco at torney who was appointed as a second Assistant to District Attorney John Hall in the prosecution of the Oregon land fraud cases, and whose appoint ment raised a storm of protest, has written abetter to Senators Fulton and Mitchell of Oregon, denying the allega tions against his character made rela tive to his alleged connection with the Nome scandals. The denial is made particularly to a letter written by the Oregon Senators to Attorney-General Knox relative to Mr. Frost and pub lished in The Oregonlan of December 14. Mr. Frost's letter also denies state ments made In an article published in The Oregonlan November 30, based upon the records of the court taken during the trial of the alleged Nome conspirators. The San Francisco at torney denies that tehre is anything wrong that can be charged against him, and asserts that he was held guilty of contempt of court for doing what was simply his duty and nothing more. The letter written by Senators Ful ton and Mitchell to Attorney-General Knox calls attention to the fact that they requested the appointment of an Oregon man as Mr. Hall's assistant. It states that they heard nothing more of! the matter until they saw in the papers that Francis Heney and C A. S. Frost, of San Francisco, had been ap pointed. Relative to the explanation that an Oregon 'man was not selected Because he might have business inter ests that would prejudice him, the let ter expresses surprise that the Attorney-General should have gone to San Francisco for men, a place generally Buposed to be the headquarters of the land-fraud ring. Letter of the Senators. In reference to the appointment of mv -cafr ttiA latter calls attention to his conviction and sentence to Jail for alleged implication in the Nome scan dals. The language of the closing por tion of the letter is this: This employment properly belonged to Ore ron. and we cannot but feel that jour declina tion to comply with our request in that respect was at least unusual, but to have ignored our recommendation In order to appoint for the work ono who has Just escaped from Jail lea-vea us at a loss to understand what -we hae done to merit such treatment. And the matter becomes more and more Inexplicable to us when we remembr that this San Francisco attorney was sentenced to Jail upon a Judgment of conviction of a crime quite similar in char acter to the one for which the parties he has now been appointed to prosecute have been Indicted. And of his guilt there appears to hae been no doubt, for the United States Court of Appeals, in passing on his case, says: "The whole of the eidence concerning Frost convinces us beyond a reasonable doubt. . - . that In his official capacity he grossly be trajed the Interests of the United States which were Intrusted to his care." And. further: , "I think the records and evidence show very clearly that the contempts of Judge Isoyes md Froet were committed In pursuance ot a corrupt conspiracy." There Is one ground on which sucn an ap pointment might be defended, if the proposi tion shall receive Judicial Indorsement viz.. that It requires one rogue to apprehend an other. "We can hardly bring our mind, bow el er. to give that complete approval to the doctrine that is implied by tho selection of ,ucb a person for so Important a duty as that assigned to Mr. Frost. W,"11 JOHN K tttv-hELLi. a W. FUliTOX. Mr. Frost states that this letter is based upon an article published in The Oregonlan. That article, which was taken from the court records, states that Mr. Frost was found guilty of con tempt ot court upon a charge accus ing him of using his official position to furthern a scheme that had it car ried through woul have robbed miners of millions of dollars. The court records show that Mr. Frost was sent to Nome to look after and advise the Marshal and clerks of the courts. The charge against him was that he used this power to influ i once service of papers In some mining cases. The history of the scandal Is well known. Mr. Frost's Reply. Mr. Frosf s letter Is as follows: San Francisco, Cal., lec. 23, 1903. To- Hon. John H. Mitchell and to Hon. Charles W. Fulton, United States Senate Sirs: Tour let ler to the Attompv-Oeneral regardlnc my ap pointment as assistant attorney, published in fcn Oregon newspaper, has recently been brought to my notice. In It you say that the writer was convicted of an offense similar in character (conspiracy) to that with which the defendants In the land fraud cases now pending in Oregon are charged, and that the appointment can only be Justified upon the theory that It takes a rogue to catch one. The letter appears upon its face to have been based upon an article published In the Port land Oregonlan. For tho reason that our let ter undoubtedly was written under a mis apprehension of the facts, and because the charges therein made are not now, and never hac been, true I respectfully request that jou take steps Immediately to undo the wrong which jou haeydone me, and. In this behalf. It Is suggested that the least jou can now do Is to publish a retraction of the language In question. In your letter you have conferred upon me the honor of holding a position with reference to the prosecution of these land fraud cases which I do not hold and to which I have never been appointed. "When the Attorney-General appointed a San Francisco gentleman, who Is a prominent attorney of this city, to take charge of the prosecution of these cases, I was selected by the latter to assist him, and, upon his recommendation, my appointment was made. The position, then, which I hold. Is entirely a subordinate one, and. far from be ing responsible In any degree for the conduct of the cases, I am only charged with the per formance of such duties as may be assigned me by the Special Assistant Attorney-General whom I hae been appointed to assist. The appointment jou assail, therefore, is a small thing, and, perhaps, unworthy of the attention you hae bestowed upon It. There are prob abl few of jour constituents who would care to accept It. "Never Tried or Convicted." I have never been tried for, or convicted of, any offense, an-where, such as jou mention In your letter. It would be a startling an nouncement to make that a man had been, or could be, convicted. In this country, of an offense whereof he had been apprised for the first time In the Judgment rendered against him. Prior to the publication of the language which you qu'ote from the opinion of the court rendering Judgment against me for con tempt, there was never any charge made or -filed against mT, In that or any other court, that I had ev er been remiss in an j measure In the full performance of any duty to the Gov ernment. Moreover, the Attorney-General said, of that matter, in his official report to the President, wherein he states that tho only charge against me was that of an alleged 'con tempt of court (annual report of the Attorney- General, IB02. beginning at page 256) the fol lowing: "In the Summer of 1000, Mr. Frost, who was a special examiner In this department, was directed by the Attorney-General to proceed to the second division ot the district of Alaska I to assist and advise with the newly appointed ouiccrs oi we courts relative to their duties under the laws and the regulations of the de partment. It wan his duty to make frequent reports as to the necessities of the service and the performance of their duties by these offi cers. The files of the department show that he faithfully did so. . . . "The circumstances out of which the pro ceedings against Frost arose have been fully laid before the President by me heretofore. The above summary shows the only connection he had with the writs of supersedeas. None other was charged and none other is disclosed In the testimony takes by tho court or in anything before this department." To ask for a pardon, or to hae been par doned, is, ordlnarllj, perhaps, construed as a confession of previous wrongdoing; but, in this case, having no right of appeal, and being utterly unable, if I had had the right of ap peal, to pay for printing the record, no such Inference canbe drawn, I take it, especially In view of tne fact that my application for 1 pardon was made upon the single ground that that record and. the files of the Department of Justice showed conclusively that I was Inno cent of the charge for which Judgment had been made As to that matter the Attorney General, In his report, also said: "The first petition comes from Pulaski, where this young man was born and had lived all his life. The signers are among the most i reputable and influential inhabitants of that town, and are vouched for by the ablest and Desi-Known public men of the state. ... In each petition is stated the following ground: That tho basis of Mr. Frost's convicUon Is a letter which was written by him in the regu lar performance of his official duties as the agent of tho Department of Justice at Nome, Alaska, and that said letter was written for a proper and Innocent purpose, and with no other or different Intent than the plain, unequivocal, proper, and ordinary one which it bears upon Its face." In connection with the statements you have made with reference to the writer. In jour let ter, your consideration, also, of the following, quoted from the above-mentioned report, is re spectfully invited: A Man of High Character. "In addition to what I have said above, and In Intimate connection with it, I beg leave to refer to tho strong testimonials of Mr. Frost's character, extending from youth up to the very timo of these occurrences at Nome. It comes from those who have known this joung man at his home, during his studies and struggles, and during the- time of his serv ice at Washington ... I have thus en tered Into detail .on this point because, with the charge resting upon tho ex parte testimony of Vawter. moved by motives of unworthy personal animus, and. in my opinion, without any corroboration, and uniform good record and high character displayed in Mr. Frost's prenous life become pertinent and material." Is It sufficient, in your opinion, in order to entitle you to charge anyman with having been convicted of a criminal consplracj-. that the man should merely have been adjudged in contempt by Judges, who, proceeding as for a civil contempt, never even heard the sound of his voice, where, as in this case, tho person whom you charge has been exonerated by the written and published opinion of one of the highest officers of the Federal Government, who says of it that the charges rested upon the ex parte testimony of a witness moved by motives of unworthy personal animus, without any corroboration? This I ask in all fairness and sincerity. Frankly. I had looked upon this subordinate employment as a chance to earn a moderate compensation for services faithfully performed, and, as the responsibility for tho preparation and trial or the cases would not, and does not, rest in any manner upon my shoulders, I did not foresee that I should come in for prale o- blame from anv responsible quarter, except from my immediate official superior, to whom I alone am primarily responsible. Asks for Public Reparation. I have written you tho foregoing, believing that jou would not wantonly hold a fellow citizen to unmerited public ridicule or abuse, and that, as Senator, it is farthest from your tboi' i or lnntln t nhan th Coy ernment or any of its officers In the prseu- tl ' -- .-(. nrc er, tVia s Tion who have no feeling of personal animus against the .writer, you will gladlr taTk earliest opportunity to puonciy acknowledge the mis apprehension under which you were laboring at the time tho letter referred to was writ ten, and to make such public reparation as may be In your power for the wrong inflicted. No fee that the writer shall ever oarn from the Government will, or can, compensate for the suffering and loss your letter has oc casioned. Nevertheless, it Is my purpose faithfully to discharge such duties as I may be called upon to perform In the -matter, to tho Government and also to Its local repre sentative, most of all to the President and the present heads of tho Department of Justice, to whom I accord unbounded respect and obedi ence. . Far from entertaining any feeling of resent ment, I again affirm that this letter is written in a spirit of amity and in the belief that you will so receive and regard it. I am, sirs, very respectfully yours, (Signed) C. A. S. FROST. AIL TO BE TAXED. (Continued from First Page.) ler, who -favored an exemption of $300 without any limitations. There were others, like Senator Howo, who believed that all property should be taxed. This measure was framed to restrict the ex emption to such articles as are needed for the support of a family, and in the main follows the provisions of the law relating to exemption for execution. Taxation of Indian Lands. The old law, as it stood prior to 1903, provided that the property of all Indians, who are not citizens, should be exempt, except land held by them by purchase.

Then It was that another enemy of the, jack came creeping up from 'California. While of the same family as the jack, the hare," this new scourge, a fierce fighter and a, ravenous eater, rapidly cleaned out tho jackrabblts and waxed fat and numerous. At this stage of the game the farmers in this locality began to take an active inter est In the new race of rabbits which swarmed their gardens and alfalfa fields. They were putting In overtime and each of them could consume as much hay as a horse could.

The method Is as follows: Two lines of fence 30 Inches high and a quarter of a mile long" are put up In a V shape and a.t their junction a pot or corral Is formed ob chicken wire 60 Inches high. The extra height is to prevent the j hares from Dlllhg up and the top ones crawling over, for, strange as it may seem, the rabbits, while great jumpers, Tvhen chased will not leap a barrier, but always try to crawl under. To make a drive a crowd surrounds a field at the mouth of the trap and then with a whoop and halloo, men, women and children start for the trap afoot and horseback. While Immense numbers escap, the catch is amazing. At one catch here 4000 rabbits were driven Into the corral. Such a large' number at one time Is not desired by the cannery and now the catches run from 300 to 1500. The .hares are killed at tho corral and hauled to the cannery and first placed In cold storage. After cool ing 'they are placed In a brine for 7A hours.

Since the fund appropriated is ample, the commissioners have power to remove with the least practicable delay, obstacles to a project the completion of which not only will operate to the advantage of the people of Eastern Oregon, but will be of material aid to the residents of Eastern Washington.
