IEI tm JBYCOURTTO CA. Smith Co, Instructed to ; " Surrender Coos ; Lands' Un- der "Innocent Purchaser," ' Twenty thousand acres of land In Coos ' county was yesterday ordered forfeited to tha United State from the C. A. Smith Lumber company in a decree ala-ned by Federal Judges Bobert : 8. Bean. The forfeiture was made as a settlement under the -"Innocent pur chaser" statute, passed by congress to protect the corporations and individu als who had purchased large tracts of . timbered ' lands from the Oregon ; and California railroad company . of the gov ernrtient grant. . i r-- - Hearing in this case was held in May. Like all the other innocent purchaser cases that have been settled, the de fendant timber company had purchased the land lu one large block afrom . the railroad company and more was paid for it than 1 2. SO an acre. Under the terms of the' land grant, the Oregon and California railway was authorised to sell these lands to actual Settlers only . In blocks of 160 acres at tl.60. , , The Innocent purchaser's : , statute, passed just a year ago this month, 'authorises those who purchased tracts of 1000 acres or more from the railroad company to forfeit them to the govern ment and in six months' time or less, to buy the land back at the regular price of $2.10 an acre. It . Is one of the provisions of the statute that the lands have to b bought baoK by the original purchaser ' from the railroad company. Otherwise the government will institute ,a suit asking for absolute forfeiture of tne property witnout any compensation 'to the party losing it. The C. A. Smith company will have to pay 160,000 to regain this acreage. The complaint 'was directed against the Oregon & California railroad, Charles A. Smith and the u, A. smith Lumber company. The stipulation of the defendants In this case is signed by John Lind, who has just gone to Mexico for the United States as an ambassador extraordinary . in an effort to secure peace , in the southern republic. Mr. Land was at torney for C A. Smith at the hearing In Portland In May. Glenn E. Husted, special assistant to the attorney gen eral. Dresented the decree In behalf of tha government this morning.

Dlggs did not once remove his eyes from Miss Warrington while she was relating the details of the escapade that culminated In his arrest He bit his nails nervously. "We girls wanted to go back to Sao .ramento." said Miss Warrington "but Dlggs and Camlnetti persuaded us not to because it might lead to the dis covery of their whereabouts. "I was Introduced as Dlggs wife at the real estate office," admitted Miss Warrington In relating the arrange ments made to rent the bungalow whore the four elopers were later discovered. "Dlggs and Camlnetti told us hot to leave the bungalow," Miss Warrington testified, "as we might be seen leaving." "Dlggs said It was up to us whether or not they went to the peniten tiary," stated Miss Warrington In ex plaining that her paramour had warned her to keep the facts from the authori ties. "He said 'don't tell the officers any thing.' "When the officers knocked on the door Mr. Beasley came in, and we girls started to cry. Then he put his arms about us to comfort us. "I telephoned to my father at the re quest of Mr. Dlggs to have the warrants withdrawn. My father said he could not as the matter was In the hands of the state authorities." Called Her "Pickles."

Asked if she knew Miss Laura Bor ton of Sacramento, the girl named In the subornation and perjury charge against Dlggs and his attorney, Charles Harris of Sacramento, Miss Warrington ad mitted that the Borton girl had .called on her after the return from Reno.

Charges against the governor, called secretly at Gov ernor Sulxer's office last night He Is said to have looked repeatedly over his shoulder, as if watching to see whether he was being shadowed. Frawley re mained with the governor but 10 min utes. The visit gave rise to reports that a reconciliation had been effected and that the charges against Sulxer would not be pressed, but Frawley em phatically denied this.

Tammany members of the assembly spoke practically all night, killing time until they were able to muster enough votes to put through the Impeachment resolution. At 2:30 o'clock this morn ing the real surprise of the proceedings came. It was brought about by Minor ity Leader Harold Hlnman of Albany, fighting for the governor, who an nounced that Mrs. Sulser had Issued a statement which bore directly on the issues before the assembly. Mrs. Bui set's statement, HJnman declared, said that the governor had known nothing of the Wall street transactions laid at his door by the Frawley committee, and that She alone was responsible. Hinman declared that Mrs. Sulzer had told her confidantes that she had Invested $900 along with other sums In the stock mar ket without the governor's knowledge or consent Would Slot Sear Statement. . Hlnman then moved that the assem bly adjourn unUl Mrs. Sulxer's state ment could he considered, but ' It was quickly voted down on a roll call by a vote of 7 J to 49. Immediately there after Majority Leader Levy took the floor and spoke for three hours, osten slbly defending Hlnman's revolution, but In reality filibustering until the arrival of a mifflclent number of Tammanyltes to put through the Impeachment resolu tlon. When five Brooklyn Tammanyltes arrived noses were counted and the res oluUon was put to a vote. It was adopt ed exacUy at 6:16 o'clock. The naming of committees and other formalities required two hours, and at 7:26 o'clock this morning the assembly took a recess until , 11 o'clock. The speaker cf the assembly named Assem blymen Van Woert Cole and Bradley as a committee to notify the senate of the adoption by the assembly of the im peachment resolution, and appointed Assemblymen Levy, Delta, Kelly, Daly and Bryant members of an Impeachment board to prepare formal arUcles. . i-v - v,":; ;,,.. tulm VQI Testify, ' I ; Mrs. Sulser may request an opportu nity1 to appear before) the assembly and tell" her v story. -H Is certain, however, that she; will be the chief witness for the defense when the trial is held on month hence.''"' "('' Cv ' ' V Friends of the governor deny that he will be automatically removed from of fice when the impeachment charges are filed with-the state senate. The old constitution so provided, they admit but insist that the present constitution does not cover this point . The . Impeachment provisions In . the new , constitution, they contend, apply only to the removal of "Judicial offi cers." r , :.. ','r . Lieutenant Governor Glynn Is taking no part inr the proceedings, asserting that it Is a matter that the senate must settle. ' The most radical of Sulser'a friends sssert that -the governor will call out the National Guard if an attempt la made to oust him from office before the end of his actual trial. ' Will Appeal to Courts. Governor Sulzer and Mrs. Sulser waited in the executive offices until the Levy resolution -was adopted. The governor then declared that he would fight' the impeachment procedlnga imd apply to the supreme court to restrain further action. If necessary, he said. he will carry the cae to the United States court of appeals. The . Impeachment court which will try Sulzer will consist of the state senate and the state court of appeals. The Judges of the state court of ap peals are Chief Justice Edgar Cullen and Associate Judges John Gray, Wil liam Werner. William Bartlett, Frank Hlsoock. Emory Chase, Frederick Col lins, William Cuddleback, - John Ho gan and Nathan Miller. Mrs. Sulxer told the story of her Wall street operations to Senator Pal mer, an eld time friend. She gave him the details when he called to consult with the governor, and after the latter had left the room for a few minutes. Mrs. Sulzer, it Is said, broke down while narrating the details of her op erations. She told Senator Palmer that she, .and not the governor, had used portions of the campaign fund. She said she had taken entire charge of her husband's financial affairs be cause he was overworked at the time. Wife Shoulders the Blame. Mrs. Sulzer said she thought she could help him most by so doing, and had deposited all his campaign checks Then she admitted using some of the funds "because the household needed the money. Mrs. Sulzer also explained that she hoped to help out and invested some of the money in railroad stocks, and in slated that Governor Sulzer spoke the truth when he said he never heard of the brokerage firms or stock deals men. tloned at the hearings before the Ftaw ley Investigating Committee. Governor Sulser, she said, knew nothing of the stock deals until she made a confession to him. Xorgaa Advised Her.
