WW: LIVES Jl In mh MOfli - allsF Signs Indicate Plan Is Being Considered by Which U. S. District 'Attorney Bris tol and Inspector Neuhau sen Will Work Together. i in lOaf Oregon's land fraud situation la about galvanised into Ufa If any credence la to be put In the signs to be seen about the office of United States District At torney Bristol or that of Thomas B. Neuhausen, special Inapector In charge of th field work of the iand office de partment In Oregon. It Is apparent that some plan Is being considered by which the offices of Mr. Bristol and Mr. Neuhausen may once more be brought ote touch for the purpose of com g the trials and Investigations Oregon land fraud canes. R, A. Bnlllneer, commissioner of the general land office, was again In Port land last night and during the time pent here he held an extended confer ence with Mr. Bristol, presumably con cernlng the work to be done by the land office In conjunction with the office of the district attorney. It waa Mr. Neuhausen and his assist ants who gathered practically all of the evidence upon which the land rases have Deen Dated. This evidence in now in the hands of Mr. Neuhausen's office and not In the possession of the dis trict attorney so that without the as sistance of Mr. Neuhausen It would be necessary for all the data to be recol lected before the trials could be pre sented or the Investigation of the grand Jury continued. This condition of affairs became f latent to Commissioner Bellinger when n Portland on his recent visit of in spection and It Is understood he decided at that time to place Mr. Neuhausen office once more at the disposal of the district attorney, In order to get the land cases out of the way prior to making a big effort to clean up accumu lated land office business in Oregon. The arrival in Portland ' today of Harry H. Swart, chief of the special service division of the Interior depart ment, and his subsequent long confer ence with Mr. Bristol, which was held during all of the forenoon at the dis trict attorney's office, leads therefore to the belief that a plan of co-operation is being adopted. The two Inter views with Mr. Bristol, one by Com missioner Balllnger last night and the other by Mr. 8 wart, are taken aa evi dence of an Intention to throw the working forces of the two offices to gether again in order that they may collaborate In the conduct of the land fraud trials and future Investigations. The further announcement made yes terday by Federal Judge Wolverton that he would call either a trial Jury or a grand Jury for the consideration of land fraud cases is taken as evidence that there Is strong possibility of these rases being taken up before the first Monday In October, the time set by the court for calling a trial Jury for the consideration of criminal business other than the land cases which are now pend ing on the docket.

Mrs. Belle Stunenberg, widow of the murdered governor, had a seat inside the rail for the first time and followed Borah's argument closely. "1 call your attention to the fact that Steunenberg's killing was not brought on by the mlneowners. nor were there any Pinkertons mixed up tn that klllinar. I care nothing about the Colorado mlneowners or her mili tia. The time will come when Colorado will awaken to the fact that there are things higher than her mines and mine owners; that there la patriotism and higher manhood and womanhood. But the'Steunenberg assassination has noth ing to do with that Orchard, as was his custom, started from Denver to commit that crime. This was proved by independent witnesses. "Did ne go then to the farming; com munity or the mine to play cards with soldiers or call on old friends? No. Neither did he while there perform any work or do anything Put lounge aoout until the murder was committed. The fact that he let Marlon Moore take a letter from him to mall In Alaska and that Haywood wrote he was in Alaska showed how close Orchard was tp these men." WMKMhlj Bn Vo Tool. Borah said both sides would admit Orchard was a rascal, but no fool. His story that he sold the Hercules in terests before the (Jouer d Alene trou bles. Borah held was proved by the deed filed. Borah made a bitter personal at- tacic on f ormer Aiiorney-uenerai cni- eley. of Colorado, declaring he was un- trutnrui. I'm not surprised that Colorado had hell within Its borders for ten years, when a man like this can come and preach the doctrines he did on the wit ness stand." Borah declared there was no Question that the brains behind the conspiracy was Haywood. He declared he knew about It. and In support of his opinion cited the telegram sent him after the murder bv SimDkina aakino- about a lawyer to defend Orchard. The entire feature of Borah's morning argument was a demonstration of Simp kins' connection with the Steunenberc murder outside Orchard's testimony. He also argued by inference that Hay- wooa anew aoout urcnard a Diana, ana declared that the fact that Pettlbone dared not go on the stand and deny he wrote a letter to Orchard telling him the money was sent to him in care of Slmpklns was an admission of guilt and absolute confirmation of Orchard's story.
