MISS STICKLER IS
INJURED FOR LIFE
(Journal Special Servtce.)
CHICAGO, May 39. Laura Stickler,
the young woman who jumped from a
hote window In this city to protect her
honor from H. Mills several weeka ago.
Is still in the hospital. When the ease
againat Mills was called In the Police
Court-thla morning It was ascertained
that she Is Injured for life.
Attorneys ...interested., la.-the., crusade
against "mflKhlng" represented her thla
morning. The case went over until
June 8.
MINNESOTA'S CASE ,
BEGINS TOMORROW
Large Amount of Testimony
Filed -in Suit Against
Northern Securities -Co,
carried out on the day when it was Is
sued. The bank was surprisingly eager
to get theae certificates which had "no
commercial value" into its possession
They were aaslgned to the bank's
agent. W. F. White. There were 6, oj
these certificates, all told.
On June 7. the very next day after 1he
board'a order was entered and the sec
ond day after the bank's allegation that
the certificates were of no value, the
flrat evidence was afforded of the thrifty
bargain which the bank had driven. On
that day 29 of the 69 tax certificates
were aurrendered for cancellation, the
bank having succeeded In realising up
on so much of Its newly acquired assets
within twenty-four hours after they
came Into its possession. Two more
were surrendered on June t, and on
June 11, five days after the entry of
-the order, 21 more of the certificates
were presented and cancelled.
Bank Cashes Za the Warranto.
Within five days, therefore, after ao-
qnlzing the alleged worthless and nn
marketable certifioatea the1 bank had
snooeeded la realising upon 6 of them,
their face value being f 3,097.08, exclus
ive of penalties. At subsequent dates
four more were disposed of,- their ag
gregate value being 1653.54, leaving still
uncancelled and presumably In the
hands of the bank only six certificates
of a face value of I607.fl6.
The total face value of the certifi
cates which the bank realised upon
was therefore IS, 810. 66. How much
more than this sum the bank actually
made out 'of the certificates is a matter
for conjecture. The property upon which
the certificates were issued comprised
some of the most" desirable real estate
In the city. The Hat of owners lncludi
many well known citlsena and a number
of prominent firms and Investment com
panies. It waa no bunch of wildcat se
curities which the First National Bank
secured by this deal with Multnomah
County.
The manner in which this transaction
was railroaded through the county
board, the haste with which the certifi
cates were turned over to the bank, and
Its remarkable and instant success in
realizing upon them, is a most signifi
cant commentary upon the allegations
that the certificates were of "no com
mercial value and of no special use or
behefit to Multnomah County."
Mum Was the Word.
It is also worthy of note that though
the banjt had received almost twice
as many or the certificates as it haa
asked for, it did not. at any time call
attention to this fact, nor suggest that
a mistake had been made.
The complaint filed yesterday in be
half of the county sets forth that the
tax aale certificates acquired by the
bank were worth more than their face,
and that the order whereby they were
assigned to the bank was Illegal and
void. It is charged therefore1 that the
bank received the certificates merely
as a trustee for the county, and as such
must account for all sums realized from
them. I
The court Is therefore asked to aet
aside the order of June .. 1901, to de
clare the bank merely a trustee for the
county, to compel an accounting for all
sums received from the sale of the
certificates, and to glv,e Judgment In
favor of the county against the bank

ENOENE, Or.. May 2 Back in
Washington is a special report, sub
mitted last year by A. R. Green, special
agent.of the Interior Department, which
it is alleged there was the last srgu
ment thst Induced President Booserelt
to demand, imperatively, Commissioner
Hermann's realrruitlon. Calls ror thst
report tiara-been m1e In Washington.
Influential men of national prominence
have requested to be permitted to see
It. The 'Interior Department has an
swered all requests with the statement
that such reports are confidential, and.
when detrimental to the standing of any
offlolal, they are retained from the peo
ple.
The Inference has been that that re
port could not be published, unless by
the consent. of Bar. Hermann.. The propo
sitlon made some time ago by the
Reames people that Mr. Hermann pro
duce the Green report has been Ignored.
To Ignore It waa to nay In effect that
they dare not produce It Is not such
an Inference logical, ami Justified by the
situation? If Mr. Hermann could safely
do so, would he not do so?
The Hermann managers and Mr. Her
mann' himself have come into a state
bordering upon the frantic, and have
gone ao far as to push their campaign
over Into the people's annual commem
oration of the dead heroes of the Civil
War. Many speakers are billed to ad
dress the voters on Saturday afternoon
and evening, among them Mr. Hermann
and Congressman J. N Williamson, who
Will turn that day. when others will be

their country, into one last attempt to

steadily from the time that the honest
people' of the First District made on
slaught upon the questionable record
of the ex-Commissioner.
Williamson and Hermann Billed.
In a Hermann paper published at
Roseburg appears an announcement
that Hermann and Williamson, who
both claim to have a cinch on the com
mittee assignment on rivers and har
bora, will speak at Myrtle Creek In the
afternoon, and at Roseburg In the even
ing of Saturday, Decoration Day.
Beamee Kate Ho Appointments That
Pay.
When he waa making out his itinerary,
Mr. Reames decided to close, his cam
palgn on the night of Friday, May 29
at Medford, saying that he would not
hold a meeting on Decoration Day. It
was 'belieyed that such a course was
dlctated .lbj' . duo. consideration for the
character of the day. of memory of the
nation'a heroes.
t
That Committee Assignment.
The appearance togSther of Hermann
and Williamson revives the claim made
by Hermann all over the district that
,he would have a membership on the
Rivers and Harbors Committee, made
vacant by the death of the late Mr.
Tongue. It Is remembered that the
membership on that committee waa
filed for by Congressman Williamson,
with the endorsement of Senators Mitch
ell and Fulton, and that such endorse
ment effectually disposes of the hopes
of Hermann to get it
ROSEBURG INTERESTED
IN HERMANN. RECORD,
(Journal Special Service.)
ROSEBURG. Or., May 2. The state
ment made in the Portland Journal
upon authority from Washington, that
Dr. K. L. Miller, Hermanns son-in-law,
was kept upon the pay roll of the Land
Department at Washington while . he
was attending medical college, and per
formed no official . duties during his
residence In Washington, created a sen
sation here, where- Dr. Miller practices
and where Mr. Hermann- has made his
headquarters from the time he was dis
missed from the local Land Office In
1873, to the time he, removed his resi
dence from Washington, where he now
has all his household effects, law library
and family, and where, regardless of
the outcome of the present election, he
has declared it to be his intention to
remain and make his home.
Considerable Interest has been evinced
In the latter matter, for the reason that
it is well known that the ex -Commissioner's
love for Washington la so great
that he has already formed plans that
will keep him .there even If defeated.
A Strategic Blander.
It is looked upon as a atrategio
blunder for Mr. Hermann to have kept
his family in Washington. Of course,
people recognise It to be a delicate thing
to discuss, nevertheless, It la generally
believed that, had Mr. Hermann moved
out to Oregon again, and made a feint
at least of once more taking up hla
residence in this state,-he might have
appeared to better advantage.
But, having formed a partnership
with his son-in-law, Mr. Gately, to prac
tice law In Washington, it is apparent
that Mr. Hermann returned to his for
mer home state this year only to se
cure another fat Job from the people,
but Intended, in any event, to continue
his restdenoe In the national capital.
