END NOT YET IN SIGHT
Trial Proceeding So Slowly Attor
neys Will Not Predict Finish.
Tilt Between Malarkey
and Becker.
BURNS COMING BCT NOT HENEY,
W. J. Burn?. Government Secret
Service Agent, yesterday telegraphed
from San Francisco, that he would
com? to Portland and testify for the
prosecution in the Booth bribery case.
Judge Becker refused yesterday to
indicate when Mr. Burns will take
the stand. The Government Bleuth
is expected to testify as to conver
sations he held with the defendant
Booth about, the time the indict
ment was reported in 3003. It is not
probable that Francis J. Heney will f
be a witness in the Booth case. j
On redirect examination yesterday J.
T. Bridges, ex-Register of the Rose
burg Land Office, admitted that he and
the defendant. Booth, in 3 903 agreed
to furnish Frederick A. Kribs advance
information of the cancellation of all
indemnity school land selections re
ported to the Roseburg office. Mr.
Bridges testified that for these tips he
and Booth were to receive J26 for each
selection of which Kribs was notified.
The re-cross-examination of the wit
ness by Dan J. Malarkey, of counsel for
the defense, had not been concluded
when court adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.'
Mr. Malarkey completed his first
cross-examination of the ex-Register
yesterday shortly after the morning
session opened, after- getting the wit
ness to admit that. If requested, he
did not refuse to notify interested par
ties that their land selections had been
held for cancellation, if told that the
state failed to serve the same notice.
Agreed to Give Kribs Information.
Resuming his examination of Mr.
Bridges, Judge Becker gained the ad
mission that Bridges and Booth en
tered into an arrangement with Kribs
to furnish him advance information for
a consideration of 525 for each selec
tion. Mr. Bridges explained that the
agreement contemplated Kribs should
be notified whenever the notice of final
cancellation had been received from
Washington and before the same had
been entered on the records of the
Roseburg office. Mr. Bridges further
testified that invariably whenever no
tice of these cancellations reached the
Roseburg Land Office a number of land
grabbers were lined up at the office
ready to plaster scrip on the land in
cluded In the rejected applications.
Over the objection of counsel for the
defense. Judge Becker secured the in
troduction of numerous papers and
other documents relating to the appli
cation for Indemnity school land selec
tions, antedating the time of the al
leged agreement between the officers
of the Roseburg Land Office and Kribs.
Kribs Has Large Transactions.
The purpose of offering this evidence
was to show that Kribs had largo
transactions at the Roseburg office and
was desirous of taking advantage, not
only of his own rejected applications,
but those of others as well. The same
evidence established the fact that with
out the advance information Kribs is
alleged to have received subsequently
and relating to other transactions, he
lost out in many of the rejected appli
cations, the 'land included being
grabbed by other persons holding scrip.
Mr. Malarkey objected strenuously
to the introduction of these records
for the reason that it had not been
shown that the lands covered, in the
various rejections were lands concern
ing which the defendant Booth had
furnished advance information and for
the further reason that the Govern
ment had failed to advise the defense
in what respect the transactions would
be connected with the case on trial.
Malarkey Loses Point.
Mr. Malarkey repeatedly demanded
that Judge Becker give him this infor
mation, but aside from declaring that
the connection would be established
before the case was. concluded, the
Government prosecutor refused to
show his hand. Malarkey appealed to
the court and insisted that the desired
Information be - disclosed, but Judge
Wolverton held that the evidence was
entirely admissible and that the Gov
ernment could develop the relation of
the cases to the case on trial at its
leisure.
When Judge Becker finally conclud
ed his examination of Mr. Bridges, he
replied in answer to a question from
Mr. Malarkey that it might be neces
sary for him to interrogate the witness
further regarding some of the docu
ments the Government had not been
able to secure from the Roseburg Land
Office, and which might be deemed es
sential to the case.
Not Yet Through With Witness.
"1 do not want to tie myself up with
a shoestring to a post and say I have
entirely concluded my examination of
the witness, when I may desire to ask
him further questions," replied Judge
Becker to Mr. Malarkey's renewed
question if the Government had fin
ished with Mr. Bridges. "It has been
quite an undertaking to get all of the
documents together and we are not
sure that we may not want to offer
more and for that reason may want
a little more time."
"You have had about three years in
which to get your evidence together,"
replied Malarkey.
"I have not had three years and
hardly more than three days," sharply
retorted Judge Becker.
.'Well, that is not my fault," Ma
larkey came back.
Mr. Bridges has been on the witness
stand since 2:30 o'clock Thursday
afternoon and the probability la that
Mr. Malarkey will not conclude his
cross-examination before noon tomor
row. Mr. Bridges is the first witness
in the case and his examination has
been extremely slow. At the present
rate of progress in the case, counsel
for neither side will venture a guess
as to when the trial will be ended.
The indications are that more docu
mentary evidence will be offered in the
Booth case than was presented In the
Hall trial last February. The alphabet
already has been about exhausted in
aesignating ine many exhibits that
have been submitted and the case has
scarcely started.
Herds Trespass on Reservation.
Horace G. Wilson, superintendent of the
Klamath Indian Reservation, has filed
with United States Attorney McCourt a
written complaint to the effect that
various cattlemen are trespassing on the
reservation with their herds. The Gov
ernment requires the payment of a fee
of $1 a head for all cattle owned by
private parties that are grazed on its
lands. Superintendent Wilson reports
that the principal offender Is Charles
Drew who has served notice that he will
fight the case in the courts before he
will pay the assessment. Drew has a
herd of about 60 horses and cattle. It Is
probable Assistant United Stages At- '
torney Evans will file a suit In the Fed
eral Court next week to recover from
Drew the tax he should pay to the Gov
ernment for the grazing privileges he has
appropriated to himself.
VIADUCT OVER WILLAMETTE TO
BE READY AUGUST, 10.
Bridge Proper to Be Finished Month
Earlier North Bank Trains Into
Portland August 15.'
Four spans of the Willamette River
bridge for the North Bank Road have
been completed and workmen are fast
finishing the draw span, over half of
which is already up. There is a con
tinuous racket of pneumatic riveters as
the beams and girders are bound to
gether with white-hot bolts. The big
fabric of steel, when completed, will
have cost over $1. 000,000.
Judging from the progress now being
made, the bridge will be completed, so
far as the erection of the steel goes, about
July 10. On that date it is hoped to
have the framework of the big structure
up, with every beam and girder in place.
After this is accomplished, however, much
work remains to be done, for a double
track must be laid across the bridge, the
steel framework painted and other finish
ing touches applied. It Is thought this
work will be completed by August 10.
Officials of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle expect to open the new line
about August 15. It is expected that
on that date, the first train will be run
into Portland, from the Xorth Bank
country. It has not yet been decided
whether there will be a big celebration
hi the city when the first train reaches
here over the new line, but it is likely
there will be a suitable demonstration.
The Willamette River bridge is the last
Mnk jn the new road from Pasco to Port
land to be completed. With the finish
ing of the Columbia River bridge, the
work is brought up to the banks of the
Willamette, and when the structure is
finished, the new line will be open all
along the route.
MANY OLD SOLDIERS THERE
State Encampment G. A. R. at New
port Showed 205 in Attendance.
S. F. BIythe, retiring department com
mander Oregon G. A. R., passed through
Portland yesterday en route to his home
at Hood River, after spending the week
at the state encampment at Newport.
"Newport attracted the largest attend
ance of old soldiers ever gathered at a
state encampment in Oregon," says Mr.
BIythe. "There were 205 votes in the
convention. Last year we thought we had
reached the highwater mark with an at
tendance of ISO. With the women of the
Relief Corps and the Ladies of the G. A.
R. there were over 600 in attendance at
the state encampment. The encampment
was a complete success in every respect.
Old soldiers are taking greater interest
than formerly in these annual gatherings,
and we expect another large crowd when
the encampment meets at Corvallis next
year.
"A pleasing feature of the closing ses
sion was the presentation to Rev. Henry
A. Barden. of Portland, who was re
elected grand chaplain, of a handsome
baCge, a contribution from his comrades
in recognition of his faithful services to
the department. Comrade B. F. Pike, of
Sherman County, presented the badge
with appropriate remarks."

held at intervals since the beginning of
