thought was to protect tha integrity of

this was to have tha people partners in

The knowledge -of my attitude will
perhaps help my readers to comprehend
the anthualaam with which I entered
into my 'Copper' cruaade; help them to
understand how strongly I resisted, and
how deeply resented, the perversion of
my fair structure Into s pitfall for those
I had ct ported to benefit. My indigna
tion agalnet tha 'system is that which
any honest man would feel against ruf
fians who had used bis bast ideas and
his most generous feelings to lure In
nocent and unoffending people into some
den of Vice and Infamy. 80 fsr I have
not troubled to correct tha miss tat s
menta of, detractors who, In an at
tempt to discredit my facts, have, tried
to pillory me as a traitor, for I knew
.the middle end of tha atory would make
plain bow and what I had been doing.
The succeeding chapters of this narra
tive will yield unimpeachable evidence
that all my deallne-e in 'Coppers' aa an

"The plan I had so carefully formu-

It was to buy ap all tbs good producing

necessary, .to .organise them into a new
corporation and offer Its stock to the
public at a capitalisation of double the
original coat. By advertunng tha excep

' This would mean that the old going

risked their money in the first venture.

would make I J0.00.000 to f4QO.000.000.
Thla seems like an 'Aladdin lamp' story
When it is told, but, as a matter of fact,
prices afterward did advance q this Ja-
tlo, and 100 and 200 par cent beyond.
and many of them, notwithstanding tho
tremendous drops that have taken place

advance over the prices then in vogu.
Never in all tha history of business was
there afforded capitalists so fair an op
portunity to make honestly and legiti

LAW OF HOMESTEAD v
MADE VERY. PLAIN
Removal to Another Locality Not
Abandonment, if There Is In
V tention of, Returning. j
1 am of the opinion that tha removal
of Schuls under tba circumstances shown
does not constitute an abandonment of
tha homestead, without reference to the
law of Washington, which provides thst
a homestead can only ba abandoned by
a declaration or grant duly executed and
acknowledged. A homestead is not aban
doned by the removal of the husband
with his family, where there Is an in
tention to return later and again, make
It their home. A -man may have mors
than one reaidence. but' ha can have but
one "domicile. Tha testimony does -not
show that Schuls has ' abandoned ' his
domicile In 'Washington. Ha attempted
to trade his homestead In. Washington
for one In Oregon, but ths only inference
to ba drawn therefrom is not to abandon
one 1 homestead .until ha acquired an
other." . ---

Hyde-Benson Raise Legal Point
- That United States Is Not
" "', Damaged.
(Wsablagtoa Bareea of Tba ioarast) T
Waahlngton. D. C Feb. 21. United
States Attorney Heney is engaged today
answering a point In tha HydeBenson
cases; upon tha determination of which
tha success or failure of many of the
recent land fraud suits in Oregon htngo.
Ths point raised by tha attorneys, for
the defendant is that Jn acquiring Jleu
lands, from .. tha state - by fraud the
United States haa not been injured or
defrauded, inasmuch ss tha title to the
lands it secured in exchange for thosa
obtained by the defendants Is perfect
and not Impaired. Tha defendanta con
tend that, while tha stats might have
a remedy against persons unlawfully ao
qdlring state lands, through 'their ex
change for thosa in the reserve, tha
United States haa no recourse, not hav
ing been injured, and that the United
States courts are without Jurisdiction.
Heney , contends that tba defendanta
engaged In a conspiracy to defraud, and
tha fact that the United Stataa was
not defrauded or Injured; does not con
stitute an "adequate defense. Ha con
tends that the United States Is trustee
for all of its cltlsens, and is bound to
sea that tha publlo .lands, which belong
to the people, are-disposed of lawfully.
F. H. Piatt and J. C Campbell appear
for Hyde and Benson. - -
Mr. Heney states that it will prob
ably be June before it will ba practi
cable to begin the trial of tba convicted
members of the- Oregon delegation as
ths month of April will be consumed In
finishing tha investigations before tha
grand. Jury, and during the month of
