Congressman Blnger Hermann haa cut

alone On tha Indictments returned In
Oregon Involving him with others, and
thla ha haa accomplished by tha etlpu
IatIoh"thal he IS not to ba brought to
trial here until the Washington. D. C.,
case has been tried. Trial on the latter
Indictment cannot b had before Decem

Hermann'a fellow-conspirators will have
been disposed of In, Oregon. Aa a re
sult Hermann will not - be tried here
untilthe spring term of the district
court, and h will face Justice alone.
Thla pleaaea him because he thlnka a
Joint trial would lessen hla chance- of
beating the Indictment.
The stipulation referred to waa ob
tained by Hermann'a attorney through
a atatemeft, made In open court In
Waahlngton last month that they had
heard that Francis J. Heney,- assistant
attorney-general and special prosecutor,
would bring - issuos Involved' In the

The action . of. the preeident waa not
unexpected, as both Mr. Heney and
Judge Gilbert of tha United Statea dis
trict court had recommended that Judge

Mitchell, and in to doing bad. In tha

.The offense of Judge Tanner waa com
mitted before the federal-grand- Jury-la
tha spring of 10S. Tanner and Sena
tor Mitchell, then partnera In tha law
business, hd made a written agree
ment In 1901, providing that Mitchell
waa to have all the feea for eervloea
performed by him before government
departments and before oongresa.
Mitchell denied that there waa anysuch
document. It developed later that
Mitchell and Tanner divided tha feea
equally In consideration of tha fact that
Tanner obtained ha business In Oregon
and sent It oa to Mitchell In Washing-
ion.
During the . grand Jury Inveatlgatlon
Judge Tanner, while . a. witness, . waa
asked If he and Mitchell did -not have
an agreement. He answered la tha af
firmative' and - offered to produce It.
When hla offer . waa ' accepted " he

other than tha ona aought and swore
that It waa tha original document , ex-
