Senator Mitchell Declares His -cence in Land Frauds. SPOKANE., Washv Dec 31. (SpeciaL) 'If anybody says Putcr ever -paid' me any money hVconneetIon with land "matters 6r anything else, be, Is a d d liar." This statement was made by Senator John H. Mitchell, of Oregon, who passed through Spokane on his way to Washing ton tonight. "I never saw Puter in my life," said -Senator Mitchell, "until he called on me In Washington- wjth' a. letter of Introduc tion from F. P. Mays. a. friend of mine In Portland. In helping him before the Land Office, Idld what I have done for a thou sand other citizens of Oregon. He told me that he had been employed by Mrs. Watson, as I recall It riow. to look Into her -matters for her. Never in the slight est degree was. the matter -of compensa tion mentioned -between Puter and'' my self.' Senator Mitchell then gavo out the fol- lowing Interview to The Oregonian corre spondent: I am as innocent as a babo unborn ot any complicity In any land frauds In Ore gon or elsewhere, and If It is true that an indictment has been returned against me. I assert In the most positive terms that ltd must be based upon the testimony of self- confessed and convicted land thieves and perjurers, who have been offered Immu nity In case they, to meet the vindictive desire of Secretary Hitchcock and hfs agents, will by their testimony Involve me and others in the frauds. "The prosecuting officer, -Francis J. Hcney, filled the newspapers of the Uni ted States with press dispatches -from Portland ten days before the grand jury met. to the effect that I was Involved in the land frauds. I Immediately left Wash ington for Portland to answer any charges made against me before the grand jury. and I wired Heney that I desired the privilege of going before the grand Jury to answer any charges against me. On my arrival in Portland I made a similar request of the foreman of the grand Jury. "I was told by Mr. Heney that I could go before' the grand Jury. On my appear ance there 1 was told by Heney that no evidence had been submitted to the Jury against me. I then said that If there was no charge against me to answer, I was still ready to submit to an examination. This I did do for two hours and a half, and answered promptly all questions. I was not advised as to what the charge against me was, and assured the jury that I was ready and willing to answer any other questions which either Heney or any member of the Jury might wish to ask me. and especially did I desire the privilege of answering any charges that might be made against me by any wit ness. "Having been assured that no such evi dencc. up to that dat had been submit ted. I then remained In Portland for four days after that, and receiving no word elthor from Hcney or the grand Jury, the latter being In session all the time, I left Portland last-evening for my post of duty in Washington. "If an indictment has been returned against me, I am prepared to meet it be fore a trial Jury Immediately, and. In this connection, I defy, the prosecuting officer to produce against me one particle of evi dence worthy of a moment's belief which in any manner Improperly of criminally connects me with any land frauds, or with any confessed criminals. "I demand a trial at the earliest possi ble moment, and I will return to Port land whenever I can be assured by the prosecuting officer of an Immediate trial. "'J denounco this prosecution against me as the result of a most damnable and cowardly conspiracy. In which Secretary Hitchcock and this man: Heney are the chief conspirators, their motives being partly revenge and partly politics. "This man Heney Is a California Demo crat, who Is trying to blacken and de stroy the character of leading Oregon Republicans. That there have been land frauds in Oregon I do not deny, but speaking for myself. I do deny in the most positive and unqualified manner that I have been In any wise, either directly or lnuirectiy connected therewith, or re ceived any benefit therefrom." "BASEST OF CONSPIRACIES." Binger Hermann Says Indictment Is Result of "Malicious Persecution." Representative Binger Hermann, who will leave for Washington tomorrow morning.' Issued the following written statement last night: Toe indictment returned against me Is the result of the basest of conspiracies and malicious persecution. I came here upon the advice and urgent suggestion of my friends two weeks ago, as I had been Informed by them that efforts were being made to implicate me and Senator Mitchell In Oregon land frauds which have been under investigation and trial. which frauds It was rumored I had know ingly aided and advanced during my service as Commissioner of the General Land Office. "I knew I was free from any Imputation of wrong-doin, and that no honest wit nss could involve me in that charge. "Several Inspections were made as to these land entries. They passed the ap proval or the local land office. They had been under the careful ' scrutiny of the X&sistant Commissioner, whose testimony in Use .bite trials la this dry was to the effect taaVfee had J pd' the evidence sat isfactory, r ettevea the law had been' jcoEnfttea with. "I had no acquaintance with the lands, no intteaacy or associa tiva with say ef those to-fee benefited, no interest la the trasaactkms, direct or In direct, and had no procaine, no consider ation, no ln4w.naH.nt and I scorn any suggestion. that I ever hesitated to stand by say sworn dutyln this or In any other trust Imposed upeo. me. "I have-been a resident of Oregon since boyhood and have been Intrusted-with many transactions .affecting the public Interests And my fellow-sen, and In them all my single endeavor has been to discharge ray duty and preserve my honor. Mistakes may have sometimes been made, and I may have been -Imposed upon, but I am not conscious of having violated my obligations as an officer, or as a private citizen. "If frauds were practiced upon the of fice, the imposition was as grossly per petrated upon me as Commissioner as upon others in the office. "In view of these conditions. I am amazed at the- action of the grand jury and realize my 'disadvantage in not knowing who the witnesses were who testified against me, or what their state ments were, to all of which I had' no opportunity to cross-examine or explain. "I rely upon my vindication before a trial Jury, before which, as a citizen, i shall be protected againstmere Insinuations,- base persecution and perjured tes timony. "Having remained here expecting to be REPRESENTATIVE BINGES HERMANN. recalled before the grand jury for an opportunity of answering any accusation which might have been made since my appearance before that body, but- which courtesy was not accorded me and an indictment having now been brought, I now feel It my duty to return to my official duties In Washington City, to come back after the session of Congress to meet these malicious and base accu sations." NO SURPRISE TO OFFICIALS. Hitchcock Say 3 Latest Indictments Are Only the Beginning. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3L The news of the indictment of Senator Mitchell and Representative Hermann for conspiracy to defraud the Government of public lands had been fully expected for some time by those officials having to do with the case, and It therefore came as no sur prise. Secretary Hitchcock frankly stated that he had looked for the Indictment at any time, while Attorney-General Moody, who acted In conjunction with the Interior Depatment in bringing about the several indictments, declined to make any com- PAPEKS TOR MAILING.

Secretary Hitchcock consented to make a brief statement concerning the case. He said: "From Information which has come to me from" time to time I am not surprised at the indictments. Of course, while we all regret that men occupying high sta tions in public life should get within the clutches of the law, nevertheless the In terior Denartment and the Department of Justice bad their duty to perform. These land-fraud Indictments are the rcfcult of two years of the most searching investi gation and are a part of the unalterable determination of the President and Ad ministration to bring to justice all of fenders of the law. be they high or low. "These indictments." continued the Secretary, "will not be the last More are to follow, although I believe I can say that the investigation will Involve no more officials as high In public service as are those two members of Congress All the cases will be placed In the hands of the Department of Justice and the nrosecution will be vigorous.

The Secretary said Be could not at this time eo Into the details or the cases against Senator Mitchell and Representa tlve Hermann.

WASTED BY MOVING BOG. Large Area in Ireland Covered and . . Village In Danger. NEWcsYORK, Dec. 3L Graphic details are bejng received of, the devastation caused by a moving bog In the County of Roscommon, Ireland, says a Herald dis patch from London. The bog, which Is known as that of Cloonshiever. is three miles from Castlerea. When It began to slide It moved three-quarters of a mile in a few days, covering everything In Its way with peat and water to the depth of eight or ten feet. According to reports from the scene the peasants are surrounded on all sides with miles of bog and water. The Inhabitants of Cloonshiever, a village In the valley of about 730 one-story cottages, barely es caped with their lives, the bog having moved unawares upon them. Many ot the peasants' nouses have, continues the cor respondent, wholly disappeared, while all that is to be seen of tne others is tne chimney tops. Here and there a lifeless tree marlcs the spot where well-tilled farms have disap peared, probably forever. At one point there Is a lake of 10 or 12 acres, wmcn has been formed in the last few days by nent-UD mountain streams. Unless some means is speedily adopted to drain off this water It will undermine the entire Dog and a disaster may be anticipated. A later dispatch states that the lake is steadily extending upward toward a num ber of houses on the rising ground. The land attached to tho holdings has already been covered Over by the creeping bog. What Sulphur Does For the Human Body in Health and Disease. The mention of sulphur will' recall to many Of us tne cariy aaj? ucu uui mothers and grandmothers gave us our dally dose of sulphur and molasses every Spring and Fall. It was the universal spring ana r an "blood nurifler." tonic and cure-all, and. mind you. this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quan tity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef fects ot sulphur In a palatable, concen trated form, so that a single grain Is far more effective than a tablespoonful of the crude sulphur. In recent years research and experiment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use Is that obtained from Cal cium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stores under the name of Stuart's- Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate-coated pellets- and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a. highly concen trated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur In restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health: sul phur acts directly on the liver, and ex cretory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every Spring and Fall, but the crudity and Im purity of ordinary flowers ot sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which. Stuart's Calcium warers is- unaouoieaiy me oest and most widely used. ; They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation . and purify the blood in a way tnat ortenj nrnrls3 oatient and physician alike. ; Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experimenting! with oulohur remedies soon found that tne ulnhur from Calcium was superior to any? other form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when result-1 lng from constipation or maiana. i nave ht-ort surorised at the results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In pa tients suffering from boils and pimpled and even deep-seated carbuncle", I bavei repeatedly seen them dry tip and disap pear m four or nve days, leaving me siun clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal cium "Wafers Is a proprietary article and sold by druggists and for that reason ta booed by many -physician yet I know of x nothing so safe and reliable for constipa tion, liver and kidney troubles and espe cially In all forms of-skin diseases as this remedy." - At any rate people who are tired of pills, , cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers' will And in Stuart's Calcium Wafers a far : saferi more palatable and effective prep- Jaratloi). ji Dear
