ASKS FOR REFUND
Ex-Land Commissioner Wants
Government to Pay His
Late Trial Costs.

Prosecution X'ever Based, on Fact.
Says. Former Representative. ,
Packed Jury " Investigation.
May Follow Bequest.
OREGOMAK XES EUR E AC Wash
' Ington. July 20. Bing-.r Hermann.- of
Rosebury. ex-ReprsentatIve and Com
missioner of the General Land Office.
Is anxious that Congress pass a special
hill to reimburse him for all moneys
expended by him in defending himself
In the two trials which he underwent,
as a. result of the prosecutions Insti
tuted at the direction of the late Sec
retary Hitchcock. He wants to recover
all moneys spent, both in the Oregon
case and In his trial in this city for
the destruction of public records.
'This request of Mr. Hermann is based
upon the fact that he was acquitted In
Washington and his case dismissed at
Portland after a jury disagreement, and
on the further fact that the Portland
Jury was drawn from the same box as
that which tried 'Willard N. Jones. In
other words, so far as the Portland
trial is concerned. Mr. Hermann takes
the position that his dismissal was not
enough. . .
Refund Tkouicbt StffrT..
Inasmuch as the President has seen
fit to pardon Jones, who was convicted
by a packed jury. Hermann thinks that
he is entitled to a. .refund-of all costs,
as being the only means whereby the
Government can clear Its obligation In
his case. -
The Washington trial. Mr. Hermann
maintains, was never based on any rea
sonable ground, and -was purely the re
sult of the Secretary's determination to
persecute as well as prosecute him. and
that trial having .proven an utter fail
ure, he thinks there Is justice in his
claim against the Government.
Mr. Hermann's first trouble will be
in getting a relief bill introduced in his
behalf.. While the subject was broached
during his recent visit to Washington,
no bill was presented to Congress, and
there is little prospect that one will
be presented. If so.- It will have to be
Introduced by a member from some
state other than Oregon. And if any
hill of this nature is introduced it is
verv doubtful if it can be passed, at
;east not without a long, hard cam
paign. - ' '
lDvetl(ratloa May Kollow.
The introduction of such a bill, how
ever, might have the effect of bring
ing on a Congressional investigation
into the Binger Hermann trials, and
might bring before Congress the rec
ords showing the manner in which Detective-
Burns - packed his juries - at
Portland: the same facts which led the
President to grant an unconditional
pardon to Willard X. Jones. And if
Mr. Hermann cannot get a refund of
the monevs which he expended to de
'end himself, he would be pleased to
Vive a Concessional investigation of
;his character, in 'fact, that was one
yf the things that brought him to
Washington. If he can have the In
vestigation, he will stand a better
chance of passing his relief bill.
As the present session of Congress Is
fast drawing to a close, there seems to
be little prospect of an investigation
this Summer, and if the subject goes
over until after the elections It may
be dropped altogether. It is not posi
tive that an investigation will not be
had. but the chances seem against it,
particularly as Mr. Hermann has re
turned to Oregon, leaving no one in
:harge of his case.
BUT ONE CHARGE IMPERILS
(Ontlnutd from PK One
trial democracy would be aubstituted
therefor.
The charge that Judge Hanford had
held improper relations with a local
woman who has several grown sons in
her home, likewise resulted In a victory
for the Jurist. The only testimony In
this respect was furnished by 'four de
tectives, none of whom could testify as
to anything Improper. A flashlight
showing Hanford leaving her home
it 10 o'clock at night was submitted
in corroboration of the fact that he
paid frequent visits at the home. So
clearly was this charge unproyen that
Congressman Higgins of the committee
at the conclusion of the testimony, had
Inserted in the record the specific allegations-of
the affidavit.
Drink Charge KalU Flat.
On the matter of drunkenness, 126
witnesses were examined. Of these 14
were positive they had seen the jurist
intoxicated: 22 believed so. but were not
sure, saving that possibly illness could
account for the Judge's condition: Ave
had never seen the judge, and So had
nver seen him under any indication-.of
liquor.
Of the 14 who had seen him intoxi
cated, four were detectives.- Two of
them were refuted by other witnesses.
Of the remaining 10. two admitted
that they entertained prejudice against
the jurist, while still another had lost
a case in Judge'lTanfonl's court. Tes
timony of several of those remaining
was refuted by other witnesses.
Fred H. Peterson, an attorney who had
known Judge Hanford for many years,
and Victor Carlson, a painter, were the
last witnesses to be examined along
li. ;s line; and it is their testimony
whi-h is most feared by friends of the
Jurist. That of reterson was not con
tradicted in any manner, and no bias
or prejudice could be shown. He testi
fied as to several instances when he
had seen Jinlse Hanford under the In
fluence of liquor. Carlson testified to
an incident which he had observed
while on a streetcar which reflected
seriously against the judge.
Kxce-alve Ken Denied.
- Most of the witnesses who had seen
the judge when he had the appearance
of being in liquor used the same street
car that he did, or had observed him
in court. Their testimony aa to his
sleeping while going home, or closing
his eyes on the bench, was explained
lv the many witnesses subpenaed y
the defense, who testified that tl.ose
habits were peculiarities of the Judae.
.The charge that Judge Hanford had
allowed excessive fees in a bankruptcy
case involving 1- salmon canneries
along the Pacific Coast and In Alaska,
the fees amounting to 140.000. was
disputed by James A. Kerr, one of the
attorneys involved. Kerr testified that
he had received but 03.O in return
for three 'years' constant management
of the canneries, at the expense of his
private business.'
Similarly, it was shown that in issu
ing temporary restraining orders in the
case involving the Seattle, 'Renton &
Southern Railway Company, aa well as
in the Hiram C. Gill recall, he had
merely fulfilled" his obligation aa a
Judge. It was after the Renton line
order had been Issued that Judge Han
ford was hung in- effigy here and de
tectives placed on his trail by attorneys
for a local -publication.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
GO TO VISIT WILSON
Speaker Clark Leads Pilgrim
age and Wishes Candidate'
Well in His Fight.' '-
DELEGATION 116 STRONG
Governor Says His Way of Getting
Along With House, If Elected
President, Would Bo to Treat
Members as Partner.
SEAGIRT, N.- J., July 20. .Champ
Clark. Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, led his caravan, of fol
lowers a tortuous way today along the
dusty roads of Seagirt to Governor
Wilson's Summer home. '
They came, 116 strong, from the
House of Representatives In a special
train from Washington to shake hands
with the nominee and bid him God
speed for the Presidency. It was the
first time In the history of the United
States that Democrats or Republicans
in Congress had quit their work to
dash across the country and hall the
party standard bearer.
Governor Wilson met them half way
down the walk stretching away from
his front porch to the roadway, es
corted Mr. Clark to the wide porch and
there completed the welcome by grasp
ing every pilgrim by the hand.
Vlaltora Present Autographs. s
Mr. Clark had something to say and
he did not want to wait until the long
line of Representatives had filed by
and had Its collective say, so he held
up the procession for a minute or two
and told the Governor that they had
come to see him and wish him well in
his fight and that they -had brought
along their autographs In a ilttle book
to remind him some day that the Dem
ocratic majority of the House had
closed up office and had traveled down
to Seagirt to "get acquainted with the
next President."
The Governor was confused and he
looked out over the crowd of expectant
faces on his lawn and started to speak.
The words died away before they
reached his lips, repressed by the vol
ume of a hearty cheer. Presently the
noise ceased and the Governor told
them he would treasure the book as
Jie had welcomed their coming.
Governor Greets "Partners."
There' were two ways for a Presi
dent to get along with the House of
Representatives, the Governor said.
One way was not to keep in intimate
touch with the members, but to be
concerned In its deliberations only.
That would not be his way. If he had
the chance. He greeted them today as
his partners and comrades In a solemn
duty which they ail owed the American
people. .
. After the Governor had oeased speak
ing and Mrs. Wilson had come out on
the porch to take her place beside him,
the long line filed past, shaking hands
with both.
Speaker Clark stayed and chatted for
a quarter of an hour or more with the
Governor, then took an automobile to
the home of Colonel ueorge Harvey, at
Deal Beach, where Miss Genevieve
Clark, his daughter, is a guest. The
Speaker took with him his son, Bennett,
and one or two friends. They stayed
the rest of the afternoon at Deal Beach.
Sooth Will Help With Cnsh.
After a photographer had grouped
all about the lawn with the Governor
and Speaker in the center, they sep
arated into knots. Twenty-five or 30
went over to Asbury Park by trolley
and automobile. A delegation of In
land, members treated themselves to a
sight of the Atlantic ocean a mile from
the Governor's cottage and some went
in the surf. The Governor sat bare
headed In a rocker on his lawn with
Representatives Hardwlck of Georgia
and Henry of Texas on either side.
"We folks down South." Mr. Hard
wiok told the. Governor, "are for you,
but we feel that we are sort af out
of the reckoning. So some of us talked
it over on the train coming up and
we've decided to go back home and
raise half a million dollars for you
and give It to your campaign manager
to spend where it is needed."

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 20. How
to form a new party without ap

one of the hardest problems Colonel
Roosevelt is facing with the National
Progressive convention only a fort
night away. The Colonel was asked to
day what arrangements had been made
for the convention, in tne way or ine
usual machinery for such assemblages.
and said he did not know much about
It. There would, however, he said, be
no repetition of the boss rulership,
which he declares prevailed at the Re
publican National convention.
Controller Prendergast. of New
Tork. probably will present Colonel
Roosevelt's name to the convention.
Judge Ben B. Llndsey, of Denver,

WASHINGTON. July : 20. Chairman
Stanley, of the House Steel Trust in
vestigating committee today authorized
a denial of the reports that the com
mittee would recommend the dissolu
tion of the United States Steel Corpora
tion. Mr. Stanley declared he believed
that reports given out to that effect
had been calculated to affect the New

Chairman Stanley today declared that
from time to time, he would give to

that no recommendation for dissolution
would be included in the report when
the Government suit agxinst the Steel
Corporation was filed.

Some of the things the Democratic
members of the committee have agreed
upon follow:
That hereafter the records of the
office of the commissioner of corpora
tions shall be open to Congress.
That they will propose to amend
the act creating the Department of
Commerce and Labor to make the
bureaus accountable to Congress, as
well as to the President. This determ

LONDON, July 20. (Special.) There
will doubtless be no slight moaning at
the bar in xiew of the proposal in .the
new franchife bill to abolish altogether
the reviling barrister.
Dating from the great reform period
of 1832, when, according to Sydney
Smith, the whole earth was delivered
over to the barrister of six years'
standing, the post of revising barrister
with its fee of J1250 is one of the per
quisites of the junior bar.
There are in all nearly 100 revising
barristers for England and Wales
whose Autumn labors will be rendered
unnecessary if the new proposals are
translated into an act of Parliament.

ment of mystery has entered into the
actions of the New York detectives who
on Thursday left San Diego with
Charles R. Reise in their custody, os
tensibly to return him to New York,
where he is wanted on the charge of
having robbed a man of a package
containing 185,000 in bonds.
Relse, who was arrested In this city
several weeks ago on suspicion of be
ing implicated in the theft of jewelry
from the apartments of Mrs. J. Collier,
in a San Diego hotel. Is thought by the
authorities to know something of the
theft of the 135.000 worth of diamonds
and pearls from the rooms of Mrs. Eu
gene J. De Sabla In a San Francisco
hotel on the night of the Mardi Gras
ball last Fall.
Although it is believed Edmund Leigh
and Joseph Russ, New York detectives,
who have Relse in charge, came to San
Francisco from Oakland with their
prisoner, no trace of the party can be
found. Neither the Oakland police nor
the San Francisco authorities have
heard from the New York men. Ad
vices received here, however, are to
the effect that the detectives have re
covered a diamond brooch and other
pieces of Jewelry belonging to Mrs. )
Sabla. It Is said that they expect to
find the rest of the Jewels In Oakland,
where they were hidden by a woman.

taxlcab was witnesses in Fleet street
yesterday.
One of these handy vehicles was
drawn up close to the curb. An elderly
gentleman erected an easel and began
to work with great composure and dex
terity on what proved to be a masterly
crayon sketch of Ludgate Jilll, with St.
Paul's Cathedral in the distance.
Nothing disturbed his equanimity, not
even the fact that the little red flag
was down and the taximeter was busy
clicking off an ascending bill for de
murrage. ,
Along with a crowd of Interested on.
lookers the driver of the vehicle stood
by, evidently well pleased with his eas
