They unanimously declared the convention the best in the Lhistory of the organisation, ' HERMANN AND MITCHELL (Continued from Page One.) made of the lands, and In a further talk 'Ways agreed to see Ormsby and see that t he gave a favorable recommendation. Sorenaon said he had objected to any one seeing the blue print because It J. would show the vacant lands and tip off the game. He was in favor of buying all the lands before the plat was aeen, or the investigation made. " Mays and Jones opposed this and want- ed to wait until Ormsby had made his examination. They gave Ormsby the t'plat, and the next thing Sorenson knew McKlnley and Tarpley were buying land ahead of him, .Maya Would Oet Tip. Maya had claimed that he would get 'i tip from W&hlngton ahead of the cre mation of the reserve, so Sorenson would have time to buy all the land vacant in ; i the proposed reserve. ' On night a friend tlpnod it off to him, Sorenson said, that McKlnley and J Tarpley were buying land in the re - serve, and he went to Salem and f dund -'.that it was so. He had some applica tions with him and bought all the lands I t he-; could and then came back to Port- He met Tarpley, Sorenson aaid, and told him that if he 'bought any more 'lands they would be cut out of the re aerva.:. Tarpley promised not to buy v;.:'any..''more.'.:". Sorenson testified that he always took the blank applications to the land office at 8alem and filled them out -there.' v- Soreneon said he had employed J. P. Mann. Charles F. Lord, J. J. Fitzgerald and Thad S. Potter to art as notaries in securing the fraudulent applications! and assignment. , ' Sorenson upbraided Jones he testl-j fied, vhen he found that Tarpley and McKlnley Jiad,cut Jin on their game. Jones ttId him to bring Tarpley and McKlnley up to Mays and they would make them give -up half ,the "lands. Tarpley refused to give up any pf ls lands. . Mays told Tarpley that it cost money to creata reserves and that there "wer4 niany people to be takii care of, in .cUxiing people in Washington... ' fior-rn said tliat he afterwards bad m talk with Ways in that Mays 114 tin). La would have to give up, a 1 part-of his lands td help- pay e- pnnses, as the reserve was costing lota of money. . .,; .. ; 5 ( . , Boraaaoa' Onghl ta "ataow'. Sorenson asked him who had to ba paid, and Maya told him ha ought to know. Sorenson told Maya, the wit ness . aaid, that ' If ha waa going to give Up lands ha would have to know what it waa going for. and Mays told him the men In Washington were Sena tor Mitchell and Dinger Hermann. Colonel worthington made objection to the evidence of Mays' conversation aa binding on Hermann, and the court instructed the jury .that until a con spiracy was proven against - Hermann the statement of' Maya should not af fect . Hermann, ".; .. t-1 1 Continuing, . 8orenon aaid he . had talked tha matter over with Jones, and that they had decided . to do what waa right. Sorenson, at the same time, in tended to hold onto his lands, bellev ing that since Mays waa responsible for the Tarpley lands getting away trom them, .ha was not entitled to the landa bought by Jorws and Sorenson. Worth tngtoa Cross-Examlne. dn croas-ex&mlnatlon Mr. Worthing ton beaan by asking how long Sorenson had been deputy sheriff. Ha asked if Judge II H. Northup. had not had him discharged for embeaslement, if he did not collect poll tax from Chinamen and keep it Sorenson said he paid It back; that his bondsmen didn't have to pay It He had heard of the ahortage, but did not know wnether it waa before he left tha office or afterwards. He resigned, Sorenson said. . Ha first made fraudulent certificates as a notary, aa soon aa ha became a notary, aaid Sorenson. . Colonel Worthington asked tha wit ness to fix his first false action by date' so they could look up the recorde and see If he waa telling tha truth, seeming to cast doubt on Mr. Sorenson's veracity. Sorenson said ha did not want to have hia name on so many certificates, aa It might exclta suspicion, so be got the other notaries to make falsa certificates for him. SORENSON WAS TO PAY MITCHELL $500 FOR HIS ASSISTANCE J. 3. Fitzgerald, deputy district' attor ney for Multnomah county, at the after noon aesston, said he was a deputy un der District .Attorney Hume In 1000 and-1901, and Sorenson waa a client of Hume's. Hume went away and left tha witness In oharge of tha office. Sor enson, from time to time, cams to him to get, acknowledgements of applica tions for school land. Fitagerald said that ha had called attention to tha fact that some of the assignments were blank, and Sorenson had told him ha would fill them In and that the transac tion were regular. H had no reason to suspect Sorenson at that time.' On cross-examination Colonel Worth ington took a little shot at tha witness. He aaked Fltageraldif ha. waa still a notary, and when hla commission waa renewed. Fitagerald aaid ha had been a notary continuously, and had had hla commission renewed a year and a half ago. .

George Sorenson attempted to b witty when called to tha stand. Ha aaid he' had been born in Wall u la. Wash., but that they had alnoa moved the town away. He had also held pub lic office, being a deputy sheriff and a Judge of election. He was well aO' qualnted with Tarpley, Puter, McKlnley and Senator Mitchell. Sorenson said, he had worked for the election of Mitchell in 101. Prior to and during the eeealon of tha legisla ture Soronson aaid ha had talked with Mitchell about an addition to the Cas cade forest reserve. , Sorenson aaid , It would be a good thing to hire Mitchell to help tha thing along. At that time Mitchell waa not In tha United States senate. Mitchell agreed to help, and Sorenson waa to pay him 1800. With the aid of H. A. Smith, Soren son said he had secured tha algnaturea of the members of tha Multnomah dele gation to a letter sent to Commissioner Hermann indorsing tha Sorenaon scheme to have the addition made to tha Cas cade reserve. Maya aided him, though he did not sign the letter. Sorenson said he had talked to Mays about the Blue Mountain reserve during tha summer of 1101. Sorenson called at Mays' office and discussed the creation Of. the reaervc, and the purchase of a large amount ot school lands there. Maya thought It was a good Idea, as he had some lands there. Maya said they would talk it over with Jones and Smith. They all discussed It a few daya later. They discussed how the lines were to ba run. Maya aaid ha would take care of the Washington end of It. Jones said he would help along. They were to get up a petition algned by prominent men. and then fill It out with other namea to the number of 1000 or more. Thla waa later changed, and only the people in the affected counties were to be asked to sign. This waa done. Mays and Smith were to have the re serve recommended by Senator Mitchell and Blnger Hermann, i " . Sorenson aaid he was to go' out, get the applications and file them, He gave each' applicant II lor hla signature. Maya knew how the applications were picked up, as he had explained the man ner of getting them to him. ' He had also told Maya about getting the sp pli cations and the assignments ih blank:' . Sorenson aaid he had been Interested with Maya and Smith and Jonea In getting school land applications before the time of tha Blue Mountain scheme. 1 ACOBS GOES TO CIlYliOffl E UOVO REFUSES 10 III fContinuM From Page OnO whn tht comralttii will fee to work 1 II V V kuvwui aU vtsj W Ti J evvwaae The six men aeleoted by the house Include three regular Republicans Mc Call af Massachusetts, Olmsted of Penn sylvania and Denby of Michigan; one 'Insurgent" Republican Madison of Kansas, and two Democrats, Jamea of Kentucky and Lloyd of Missouri.
