HENEY GOMES TO j
PROSECUTE HALIi
Nemesis of Grafters Undis1
turbed by Loss of Cases
on Appeal. j
OUTLINESHIS PROGRAMME
Announces That Williamson and
Hermann Will Be Tried at Some
Time Kn lists Hie Aid
or James Cole.
Undisturbed by (ourt decisions unfavor
able to two of liis pet prosecutions, the
Oregon land frauds and the San Fran--cis.-o
grafts, Francis J. Heney arrive
1n Portland yesterday morning, wearing
the same old smile. His day was a
busy one. so busy in fact that he missed
his favorite Vurklsh bath, after a day's
hard work. - Heney spent part of the
morning and a greater part of the after
noon in the I'nited States Attorney s
offlee on the third floor of the Postofnce
building. With the newspaper men he
discussed 'hi: decision of the United
States Court on the Williamson case,
tallied about the graft case decision, and
lield a conference with James Cole, who
until the other day was Assistant United
States Attorney.
The result of the conference with Mr.
Cole will be that the latter will render
assistance, not only to Heney, but to
Judge T. C. Becker, who is on his way
to Portland to assist Mr. Heney. M.
Heney also called upon W. C. Bristol,
but there was no discussion of the affairs
of the oflice here or in Washington. i
Works on Hull Case.'
Mr. Honey lost no time in getting down
to work on the John H. Hall case, the
trial of which is to begin on Monday.
Between calls of visitors, ranging from
land-fraud defendant attorneys to those
who dropped in socially, he worked on
preparations for the big legal battle that
is soon to begin. Mr. Heney is not
giving a diagram of his intentions as to
the other land-fraud cases, nor is he
telling much about what he expects to do
in the Hall case. He did say. in speaking
of the Hermann case, that when the trial
Is reached, Williamson will be tried with
Hermann-. He intimated that this trial
would be held before Williamson is given
a new trial on the case that the United
States Supreme Court has just remanded.
Mr. Heney has said that after trying
out the Hall ease he will return to San
Francisco and resume the trials of the
graft eases, ltis movements, however,
will undoubtedly depend on the attorneys
for Calhoun, whose trial is pending.
Should there be a postponement in the
Calhoun case or in the other cases pend
ing in San Francisco, it would not be
surprising to see Mr. ' Heney remain in
Portland and take up the Hermann case
as soon as possible after the Hall trial.
Mr. Heney refused to discuss his actiops
further than the Hall case. It is evident
that he is not going to "tip" his harjd,
either to the land-fraud defendants iin
Oregon, or to those who have been in
dicted for grafting in San Francisco.
This is not the only thing that Heney
refused to discuss. Beyond saying thai
the relationship between himself and W.
C. Bristol had not changed in the least,
he declined to talk on that subject. He
admittted that Mr. Bristol would not
take part in the Hall trials pr any of
the pending land-fraud cases. He de
nied with a great deal of emphasis the
story sent out from Washington, credit
ing him with saying that he considered
the action of the President in withdraw
ing Mr. Bristol's name the right thing to
do. This story and others of similar
nature, credited to him in interviews, -he
branded as untrue and was harsh in his
criticism of the writers. .. t
Xot Worried by Decisions.
. 1
Mr. Heney was not any more alarmfcd
over- the threat of Hall's attorneys iko
protest the Federal grand Jury becaifee
the venire was principally drawn from
the Willamette Valley and not frm
' Eastern Oregon, where the crime is Al
leged to have been committed, than -he
was over the court decisions agaijist
him. While he admits that he has -iot
road the decision In full, he says thatt
will not affect those cases that are yet
to be tried. He feels the same assuradce
in regard to the graft cases, for hefis
confident that with the great number iof
indictments handing over Ruef iiid
Vhmltz, he will be able to secure con
victions. Another thing that Mr. Heney would
not discuss was Senator Fulton-'s open
U tter. The fact that the Senator had
branded him as "a malicious liar" did
not send the great prosecutor into a flight
of temper. He did promise before leav
ing Oregon that he would devote his at
tention to the Fulton matter and it is
believed the Fulton controversy will
cither be fully aired in the Hall trial, or
that he will do so from the speaker's
platform.
Mr. Heney has promised the Municipal
Association that he would speak at one
of its meetings on some one of his visits
to Portland and it is known .that John
Bain is anxious to have him speak while
In the city at this time. It may be
that Mr. Heney will take this opportunity
to give Senator Fulton the satisfaction
that he has demanded. Some one told
Mr. Heney yesterday that Senator Fulton
would be in the city during 'the Hall trial
and Mr. Heney at once said that if he
houM be. he would be placed on the
stand as a witness In the Hall case.
The decision of the Untied States
Supreme Court has not reached Mr.
Ilency yet. but lie expects to receive
u copy of iv in a few days.
Other Cases Not Affected.
"The decision will not affect tho
other cases." said Mr. Heney. "Judge
le Haven ruled with the Supreme
Court's decision when the Williamson
trials were held before him. The same
question was argued out before Judge
Hunt. It was shown to Judge -Hunt
that the document did set out the al
legations both as to the tiling of the
papers and the final proofs. The in
dictment was drawn with the use of
technical terms common to the land
office and to one familiar with that
department it is very clear. The same
point was explained before the Court
of Appeals in the Dr. Van Gesner
Blggs cases and we had no trouble
with it.
"If 1 understand the decision, it
means that the timber and stone act
will have to be revised. If it is not,
any one can go into the market and
make a business of buying- these lands,
for It throws the gates wide open." ;
WILL XOT IS EI, AX PROSECUTION"
Government Will Only Await Ap-
v peal From Judge
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. It was
stated officially at the Department P.L
Justice today that there would be no
Cessation in the prosecution of land
Iraud cases in Colorado and other
Western states, although the decisions
of Judge Lewis have made it necessary
to change the procedure in some re
spects. It is pointed out by the of
ficials of the, department that pending
an appeal from Judge Lewis' decisions,
which will be expedited In the Supreme
Court as rapidly as possible, there
would be no advantage in bringing
further criminal proceedings on similar
charges e'xeept such as might be nec
Fssary to avoid the operation of the
statute of limitations. In cases in
which there is danger of prospective
defendants securing immunity by rea
son of the expiration of time, it is in
tended to have indictments 'brought
.within the time limits, but not to ask
for further trials until the pending
Questions are settled.
It is stated positively that "there is
no change in the purpose, either of the
Interior Department or tho Depart
ment of Justice, to continue actively
the prosecution of land-fraud cases,
and the only change which has taken
place is that which necessarily followed
Judge Lewis' decision.
It also is stated that an arrangement
'had been made by which a strict di
vision of the work in these cases be
tween tho two departments has been
laid down, so that hereafter the De
partment of Justice will undertake no
preliminary investigation, but such
vork will be -done wholly by the In
ferior Department, which will have
rontrol of the cases until they are
fully ready for prosecution.
When these haVe been certified to
J lie Department of Justice for legal
faction, either in the matter of criminal
prosecution or for civil proceedings
for the protection of some of the rights
of the Government, the matter will be
wholly under the direction of the De
partment of Justice and all steps will
be taken and all negotiations must be
conducted with that department and
its officials:
E
OXK-SIXTH OF KKtilSTEKKD
. VOTERS OF THAT PARTY.
Total Registration, for the Week Is
1893 Nearly All Are En
rolled as Republicans.
Democrats are a scarce article in Port
land this season. Judging by the regis
trations of the past week, there must be
about a corporal's squad of Democracy's
followers to the precinct. "Prohis," So
cialists, independents and people ashamed
to reveal their political persuasion are
likewise few. The G. O. P. is getting sub
stantially all the registered voters thus
fa'.
The registration of Republicans during
the first week of registration, concluded
yesterday afternoon, did not fall below
the 200 mark on a single day. On only
one day did the Democratic hosts mar
. shal out more than 50 voters. And that
one day was productive of 68.
, Citing figures the registration books
showed last night that 1395 persons had
registered within the week. Of these, 1548
boasted Republican persuasion, while 312
confessed that they were of the Democ
racy. Thirty-five stood out for the vari
ous minor parties, such as Prohibition
'ists. Socialists and the like. Some lilf
a dozen made a state secret of their faith
fand with show of great mystery declined
to name the party of their affiliations,
t Thursday proved to be the liveliest day
from a registration standpoint. The Re
publicans recruited 294 voters and the
Democrats 68 on that day. The proportion
on other days of Republicans against
Democrats was: Monday, 218 to 42; Tues
day. 247 to 45: Wednesday, 244 to 54;
Friday, 21S to 51; Saturday, 227 to 52.
With something like 24.000 voters to reg
ister, the County Clerk's force -has a big
task ahead. The work has been assigned
to Herman Schneider. Deputy County
Clerk, and an expert in such work. He
has three assistants at this time, and the
force will be increased as the press of
voters requires.
Everyone must register this year. The
party who disposed of that important
duty a year ago and hence feels himself
t immune Is suffering under a wrong im
pression. This is the year for new reg
istrations, and none can escape wno
would vote. The districts, too, are alto
gether different. For example, the voter
who has claimed the distinction of living
in. say. District 58, will find on calling at
f the Courthouse that he is now honoring
t District 72. Other districts1 are changed
'tin proportion, with but few exceptions.
DAVENPORT TO LECTURE
Cartoonist Will Tell of Trip Into the
Arabian Desert.
t Arrangements were completed yester
Bay by which Homer Davenport, who
Fs in Oregon' on a visit to his father at
5ilverton, will deliver his famous lec
ture on the Arabian desert and his re
cent expedition into the interior ot
that little-known corner of the world,
ot the White Temple on the night of
Wednesday, January 15, under the aus
pices of the White Temple congrega
tion. Mr. Davenport's lecture will be
illustrated with his original drawings,
and he will tell in his inimitable fash
ion the etory of his remarkable Journey
made by special permission of the Sul
tan of Turkey. As a result of this
favor from the Sultan on his adven
turous .trip into the desert Mr. Daven
port bought and imported into this
country the only absolutely pure
blooded Arabian horses that have ever
been brought to the United States from
the Orient. The famous artist was
Uaken into brotherhood by the various
reigning Arab sheikhs and received most
.unusual honors from the native princes
of that land of romance and mystery.
In many instances he was the first
.white man to penetrate the regions
visited and hi story of the incidents
and adventures of the trip are as in
teresting as "The Arabian Nights."
Mr. Davenport, as is well known, is a
native son of Oregon, having been born
in the Waldo Hills, and no citizen of
the state has reflected more credit upon
the name of Oregon than has he.

CANDIDATES LINE
UP FOR CAMPAIGN
Next Two Months Will Be Bud
ding Season for Polit
ical Ambitions.
ENTRIES CLOSE MARCH 29
Nominating Petitions Vndcr Pri
mary Law Must Be Filed on. or
I
Before That Date Sharp
Fight for Sheriff.
Next two months will be ' budding
time for the ambition ot many candi
dates for office, for the law says all
aspirants for primary nomination must
file their petitions, fully signed, with
the Secretary of State, before March
29, if they seek an office in the state
at large or in a district composed of
several counties. If they seek a county
office they must file not later than
April 2. The primaries will be held
April 1? and state and district petitions
must be filed not less than 20 days be
fore that date and county petitions not
less than 15 days.
One of the sharpest fights will be
that for Sheriff, between Tom Word,
who will probably "be the Democratic
nominee, and the Republican candidate,
who will be either Robert L. Stevens,
the present Incumbent, or George Wc
Millan. Between Stevens and McMil
lan there promises to be some compe
tition for the Republican nomination.
While booms have been started for
John Annand, Councilman, and W. L.
Lightner, County Commissioner, for the
Republican nomination, they are not
expected to enter. the race. Lightner
is said to prefer running for County
Commissioner.
That Stevens is in stronger posV-ion
than two years ago,' when he won the
Republican nomination and defeated
Tom Word. Is admitted by most ob
servers. But Stevens will be fought
by the County Court, headed by Juclge
Webster, and by the Jack Matthews
element. '
Fight for Clerk's Office?
Another fight, looked forward to
with some interest, has been a prom
ised contest for the office of CountyH
Clerk, between F. S. Fields, who is
nearing the end of his third term, and
Colonel Charles E. McDonell. McDon
ell has been urged to run by many of
his friends, but supporters of Fields
aver that McDonell has announced he
will not enter the contest.
There will be a warm fight for the
Republican nomination for Congress in
the Second District, comprising most
of Eastern Oregon and Multnomah,
Columbia and Clatsop Counties In
Western Oregon. T. T. Geer, of Pen
dleton, has proclaimed himself a can
didate, in opposition to W. R. Ellis.
Emmett Callahan, of Baker City, will
also try to unseat Ellis. George S.
Shepherd, of Multnomah, is said to be
on the point of announcing himself a
candidate. ' . -
For District Attorney in "Multnomah,
the only avowed Republican candidate
thus far is G. C. Moser, formerly dep
uty to District Attorney Manning. A
number of other Republicans are talked
of, among them J. J. Fitzgerald, Frank
S. Bennett and Russell Sewall. That
the Democratic candidate will Te John
Manning there Is little doubt. There
will also be a sharp contest for tho
two offices of Circuit Judge, Tield by
E. C. Bronaugh and Thomas O'Day.-

office are the following:

THEATER PASSES STOLEN
Boys Rob the Box Office of Vaude
ville Resort.
Some time on Thursday last, during
the absence from the Grand Theater
of Anthony A. Bianchi, who acts as
the general advertising agent for the
Grand, H'eilig, Lyric, Baker and Star
Theaters, some one broke open and
robbed the private locker of Bianchi,
in which he kept his papers and adver
tising passes for the several theaters
which he represents. As a great many
of these passes had been signed they
were good for admission to the re
spective theaters and it is believed
that a number of false admissions
have been obtained on them since the
robbery was committed. The loss oc
casioned Bianchi and the management
of the theaters considerable worry, as
there it was feared that the theaters
would be flooded with the stolen
passes.
Last night the suspicious actions of
two small boys attracted the attention
of the janitor of the Columbia build
ing opposite . the Star ' Theater. The
boys had retired to a closet on the
fourth floor and had locked themselves
in. He telephoned the police station
and Detective Coleman arrested the
boys. They were about 12 years old
and were well dressed. In their
pockets there were found scores of the
stolen theater passes. When questioned
they asserted that they had received
the passes from another boy. They
were taken in hand by two other de
tectives and were taken. away from the
police station.
The Identity of the boys is not known
and the police refused to throw any
light on the matter. The boys were
not returned to the station.

This Week Profit is Cast to the Winds, Cash

A $400 Piano for $250; a $350 Piano for $210.
There comes a time in everyone's life
when immediate money counts for much
more than its real worth. New York
brokers have been known to pay five
hundred per cent for money, it is no
uncommon thing for speculators to pay
a hundred per cent. It is not an un
usual thing for manufacturers to sell
at los3 to clean hp stock. It is always
the case after TCmas for stores to sell
excellent goods at cost to keep the re
quired amount of cash in their busi
ness. We know many Instances of first
class merchants making a -strong bid
for immedinte cash. It is a whole lot
better to sell for a little while, with
out profit, than it is to increase one's
Indebtedness beyond the prudent point

of Ernest Schmltz.
Ernest Schmitz, a soldier- of the
Fourth company of Coast Artillery was
seriously injured last night in a row
in Blazier's saloon at 248 Burnside
street and may bs discharged from the
Army as a result, as it is feared that
he has lost the use of one of his eyes.
Schmitz Is very much- worried over the
outcome, as Army regulations dis
qualify soldiers whose eyesight 'is af
fected. ' Schmitz was drinking with a
number of companions and spending
his money freely, - when a stranger
tried to force his company upon the
crowd.' An -argument ensued in which
the stranger picked up -a glass and
struck Schmitz in the face with it.
The glass broke and one of the frag
ments cut an ugly triangular gash in
Schmitz's yeball. The stranger ran
down the street and escaped.
Dr. Ralph A. Fenton was summoned
and dressed Schmitz" wound. He gave
the opinion that the injury was serious
and held out no hope that the eye
could be saved. The injured man was
taken to the Dewey House, and the
matter reported to the police.

MUST SELL PIANOS QUICK
I Will Take Factory Cost for Two
Carloads Now Stored at 103
Front Street.
If you can use a fine high-grade
piano I will give you a chance to net
one for Ies3 than half the price that
the dealers charge for them. I have
two carloads of the very highest grade
pianos now stored at lba Front St.. in
the City Transfer & Storage Co. ware
house. They are the best my factory has
ever made. They arc now pianos, and
they contain many patented features
not found in any other -upright piano.
These pianos have been sold right here
in Portland by the dealer who former
ly held the agency for $450. $500 and
$550. I know of dozens of fine homes
In this city where my phtnos are in
daily use. These people paid the above
prices, and they know our pianos are
well worth the money.
These pianos were shipped' to- a
dealer here who has met with misfor
tune. He can't take them now. I have
offered them to other houses. They
won't buy them. The instruments are
here, and the freight is paid on them.
My instructions are to dispose of them
to best advantage, quick.
Since the dealers will not buy them.
1 will seil them to any one who will
come to take them. I will willinglv ac
cept the dealer's price. Yew. I will do
more than this I will accept the ac
tual factory cost to build these pianos.
I have only a few days to devote to
this matter, for I must return East at
once. If -you want a fine piano and
want one without paying a dollar of
profit this side, of the factory that
made them, now is your chance.
I am not obliged to'get all cash. I
will sell on as reasonable payments as
any reasonable house would take, and
I will sell the piano at cost besides.
Every piano I sell is accompanied by
our factory guarantee for five years,
and I wijl . also arrange to keep the
pianos in perfect tune after they are
sold.
This is a bona fide offer, and if you
will act quickly you- will secure the
bargain of a lifetime.
