January. .1101,. waa because govern
ment haa not the money available to
pay the expenses of the trlaL Before
the trial may berla. It will be necessary
to, procure an appropriation from the
. ronrress aggregating something like
I6O.000. for that la the estimated coat
of carrying; on the ease. .
At the oonclualoa of the Hermann
trial here last spring the Benson ease
was to hava oeme.on Immediately for
trial) and the government was ready to
begin. , Forty wltneases were on the
ground, brought from the Pacific coast
at an average expense for mileage and
per diem of $400 each or $16,000 in all,
to which was to be added other ex-,
pensea bringing the total up to about
sis.uuu. xnia expanse .was actually ai
ready Incurred. The government re
sisted the motion for - postponement
The defense reprenented that the trial,
if berun then, would extend far Into
the summer, and on thatplea Justice
Stafford ordered that the case ba set
lor octooer. . . ;- v ;
This Dostnonement -the third to that
oate caused the exhaustion of avail
able exoense monev - without results.
When, therefore, preparations began for
ms irio.i in uotooer, it waa aiacoverea
that there waa no money to tav tha
bills for witnesses 'and the additional
postponement was resorted to, In the
Dope that tu eonaress would anoroorl
ate money enough to enable the govern
ment to place the defendants on trial
not later than January. 10I.
Buraora that the government la not
anxloua to press the Hermann trial In
Oregon ' continue to circulate here, al
though they are strenuously denied by
me orriciaia it naa teen repeatedly
alleged that the government promised
Hermann that he would not be brought
to trial In Oregon If the department of
justice couia errect - eucs a result, pro
vided he would agree to a postponement
which the government asked here In the
case against , nermann ror . destruction

.Notwithstanding an the statements to
the contrary, the Impression here . Is
that the Hermann trial for eonsolracv
never will come to pass In Oregon, and

company. In reply io the charges by J.
H.. Harris of Portland, .that axccaslve
rates are charged between different sta
tions along the Estacada Una and Port
land, i In tha answer, which la given at
considerable length, he undertakes to
show that the fares,. far from being
excessive,, are really at a very low
mileage rata He claims that the fare
toUlbert la 10 and not 16 cents aa stated
In tha eomDlelnt and that If the extra
charge waa made It must have been the
rauit or tne conductor.
As to the crowded conditions On the
cars he claims the company haa done;
everyining m its power to remeay mo
matter, but perfect service waa not
to be exnected. Inetead of the usual car
every fifteen minutes, several cars were
run during that, time and more were
J tut on because every closed car be

He admits that 19 centa Is charged
from Luther, Kendall "and Watson to
Portland, while only a cents Is charged
from Tremont, Grays Crossing and
Lenta but denies that they are approxi
mately the aame distance from .Port
land, oy rail at least, ui says mat
Luther, the nearest of the stations to
which the 10-cent fare Is charged. Is
one and one half miles farther than
Lenta the most distant of the stations
at which the S-cent fare Is collected.
and that the average difference In dis
tance is two ana one tnira mues..
Continuing, statistics are given to
show the mileage rates from the differ
ent stations. Giving the distance from
Luther to First and Aider streets as
.I7 miles, at 1 cents the rate la 1.8
centa per-mlla A 20-rlde book can be
obtained zor fi.bo, which orinra, the
rate down to s-10 cent per mile. - In
the ease of Kendall the distance is !.
rollea which makes the rate from that
station only 1.1 cents per mile. A 20-
rlde book may be obtained for 11.10,
which lowera the rate. to approximately
-10 cent per mile. In the case of
Watson the distance le 0.7 miles and
the charge is slightly over 1 cent a mile.
