M'ARTHUR CALLS
HENEY STATEMENT
. A CHILDISH PLEA'
He Declares Record Contradicts

' FULL INVESTIGATION IN 1911
.. . ............!, N4
Representative Says His Affidavit,
Denounced by Heney, True
Statement of All He Knew.
Washington; May 0. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OV THE JOURNAL)
; Representative C. N. McArthur baa au
thorised the following atavement; la Ve
ply to Francis J. Honey's denunciation
of hia affidavit in the land fraud eases:
"My attention has. been called to the
letter of Mr. Heney entering; complete
denial of all knowledge of Irregularities
In connection with the selection of jury
men in the celebrated Oregon land fraud
cases in 1905. It is quits' useless for
Mr. Heney. to enter a denial, for the
record contradicts him conclusively.
'his matter was investigated fully by
Attorney General Wickersham in 1811
Just prior to the vVlHard Jones par
don. Among; papers In this case was
the affidavit to which I subscribed and
which was a truthful statement of my
: knowledge of the notorious '? work; of
Heney and W. J, Burns. ' There was- any
amount . of corroborative evidence In
support -of my affidavits.
is useless for Mr. Heney to come
forward now with a childish plea, for
the public la well awaro of all the facta."
A week or so ago Mr, Heney issued a
statement in refutation of the prior
statement made by McArthur, charging
Irregularities in connection with the
Oregon land fraud trials as conducted
by Heney and Burns.
In his statement Heney charges that
Attorney General Wickersham seemed to
have intentionally withheld portions of
the record when he made his report to
President , Taft recommending the par
don of W. N. Jones, in -order to make It
appear that the land, fraud Indictments
and trials had been unfairly conducted.
lie .called attention to' the fact that
the. Jury box . in the Jones case was
filled by the direction of Judge W. S.
Gilbert with names selected by the clerk
of the -court, and the- Jury commission
ers on August 17, 190 and pointed out
that he (Heney) was in San Francisco
between August 4 and August 17, so
that he could not have exerted any
"baneful Influence over the selections.
-r He also pointed out that the reports
made on prospective jurors were made
after their names were In the box, and
not before they were drawn. ,
He Quoted a letter from Me Arthur to
Burns in which the former said:
s There is one man on the Marlon
county list reported O. K.. at present
that I am p. afraid of. . N.
Mackay only gave me the list of the
doubtful and the -of Bs."
lie showed that this letter, together
with others from McArthur, were in
r themselves sufficient to discredit Mc
Arthur and his affidavit.
-- Heney ridicules the statement made
by McArthur that he was acting unwill
ingly' and under "duress" of Burns, as
an agent of the.government, and adds
that McArthur, now a member of con
gress. If he believes in the truth of the
affidavit made by him should Introduce
a bill in congress to make reparation to
those unjustly convicted and fined In the
land fraud cases.

plan, Joseph Chatfield, 21 years old, was

Reed of the Woodstock district are en
route to Portland from Tacoma in the
custody of Robert Hayden, special In

scheme to insure automobiles, report

Germany Is Going Mad or Keep

Daily Nawa,
(ConrrUlit, 119, by Chicago Daily Kv Co.)
Berlin, May 31. Dadalsro is growing,
at least in Berlin.. I have just attended
its second meeting. The next evening
of the Dada order will be given. in one
of the largest theatres in Berlin. ' Dada
ism is a sort of national buffoonery in
augurated by artists and professional
men in Berlin.
The friend who accompanied ma to
the entertainment is a sentimentalist.
"Here," he cried, "is the broken heart
of Germany," and he went off into a
spasm of uncontrollable guffaws,
Herr Bader. one or the leading archi
tects of Berlin, was standing on his
iftad, sagely stroking his patriarchal
beard and saying: "And I said to Mr.
Ebert, 'Announce Herr Butter before it
is too late "
A dignitary In evening dress had
leaped upon the stage and started
pounding a bass drum. A barefooted
fraulein jumped upon the keyboard of
the grand piano and began dancing to
the accompaniment of horrible discords
struck by her - twinkling toes and the
booming of the drum.
Herr Bader. entirely undisturbed, con
tinued his peroration.
"The Dadalsts." he said, . "have over
thrown the government at Rome. Everv-
l-where Dadaism is trumphant."
Silence suddenly fell Herr Bader
had assumed an upright position. In
the midst of this quilt a fashionably
dressed woman suddenly leaped upon a
seat and about 100 women followed her
example, all screaming "Mouse!"
My friend, the sentimentalist, hoarse
with shouting, leaned over and yelled
to me.
"Next on the program is a six-day
race between a typewriter and a sew
ing machine."
The race was a wonderful success the
honors going to the sewing machine.
"Germany is going mad," said my
sentimental friend. "The war and the
peace terms, the suffering, the hunger
and the disillusionment have undermined
our sanity."
"Quite the contrary," said Herr Bader.
"In the nonsense of Dadaism lies the
only real sanity Germany has ever
achieved."
"It p the broken heart of Germany
trying to laugh," sighed my sentimental
friend.
