OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 25. Francis J. Hcncy. spe cial assistant to the Attorney-General, is unable to say just when he will return to Oregon to take up and conclude the trials of those persons now resting under indict ment for complicity in land frauds. He ttIU be compelled to remain in the East until after New Tear's, but he hopes to reach Portland some time in January; and will arrange, upon arrival, for the resump tion of the trials before Judge Wolvcr ton. Everything:, however. Is uncertain. and it may be several weeks before any definite programme can be mapped out. Mr. Heney is unable to account for the wide publicity recently given stories to the effect that Puter. McKInley and oth ers had disappeared at the critical time when they were wanted by the Govern ment, as well as by the State of Oregon Ho says there has nqver been any cause for anxiety; he has been confident that they Would produce themselves when needed, and is not now uneasy for fear the Government would lose valuable wit ncsses. Speaking of the admission of Marshal Reed that he had released Puter and McKInley on Mr. Hency's order, Mr. Hcncy remarked: "Whatever Mr. Reed says Is right." Xo Cause for Anxiety. Asked what arrangement had been made for the bond of Puter and McKinley. ho said that matter would receive his attcn tlon when he returned to Portland. Alto gether, Mr. Heney thinks there has been no justification whatever for the sensa tlonal stories that have been In circula tion, and dismisses the Puter-McKInley incident as one of little significance. He Is satisfied both men will be on hand to testify when they are called by the Gov ernment in the Oregon land cases soon to come up. Mr. Heney will not prosecute the land fraud cases In other states than Oregon, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. "When he clears Ihe docket at Portland. and has closed up the cases against the Benson-Hyde land ring, he expects to re turn to San Francisco to resume his law praAlcc. Hermann Trial Still Delayed. It is as yet impossible to say when Representative Hermann will be brought to trial In Washington on the indictment for destroying So letter-press copy-books. No date has been set. as no agreement can be made with Hermann's attorneys. and it is believed by those in a position to know that Hermann will stave off this trial as long as possible. In fact, Her mann has been anxious to be tried only once since he was Indicted, and that was the day of Senator Mitchell's death. He then brought pressure to bear to have his case taken up Immediately in Portland, but. Inasmuch as he had previously as signed various excuses for delav. the Gov ernment was not disposed to go out of Its way to accommodate him at that unusual time, and his request was denied. On several previous occasions, the Gov ernment asked Hermann if he was ready for trial, but he never was. When he suddenly changed his mind, the Govern mcnt was not ready. Now that the Gov ernment is preparing to resume trials in Portland. It is learned that Hermann's anxiety has again disappeared, and va rious conditions have arisen which, make it inconvenient for him to- go to court. cither in Portland or Washington. Hermann in No Hurry. H. P. Gatley. Hermann's son-in-law and nttnrnev in Washington, believes Her mann's case will not be called here In the Immediate future. If Hermann comes to Washington to resume his seat In the House, he may be asked to present him self in court for trial, but tho-law officers do not believe Hermann will make haste about coming to Washington. With the TntIon of the instance cited. Hermann has studiously endeavored to stave oft trial and It Is believed he will continue this course to the end. In fact, not long ago. he sent word to the Government offi cials that he would not object if he was never "brought to trial."

The doctots pronounced them absolutely conclusive. Under the supervision of Professor Vallce. of the Alfort Medical College and Secretary Roscgllo of the Society of Veterinary Surgeons. 40 cattle were procured. Numbers of these were in oculated with bovo vaccine. These with number of others not vaccinated were laeed amonp still other cattle already afflicted with pulmonary tu berculosis. The unvaccinatcd cattle contracted tuberculosis, while those Inoculated with the bovo vaccine proved to be Immune from the disease. Then the experiments were repeated. but tnls time to demonstrate fully the power of the bovo vaccine by inocula tion instead of mere contact a number of fresh cattle not used !n the first se ries of experiments had bovo vaccine Injected Into their veins and under the hide. They and others not treated with bovo vaccine were inoculated with a virulent culture of pulmonary tuberculosis. The effect was quickly brought. The unvaccinatcd cattle took nulmonarv tuberculosls in its worst form. The vaccinated cattle were absolutely free irom it. BROKERS THROW CONFETTI Christmas Itcvcl Held by 3Icmbcrs New York Exchange.
