Portland. Oct. ' 14. (Special.)
Federal Judge Hunt today sprung a
surprise which thrilled the friends and
political supporters of Congressman J. j
N. Williamson, w hen he sentenced j
Williamson to serve 10 montns In
prison and pay a fine of $500 for Im
plication 111 the Oregon land frauds.
Owing to the divided opinion of
Juries as to the guilt of Williamson a
much lighter sentence was expected In
his case.
Dr. Van Gessner, Williamson's part
ner In business, was sentenced to 10
months Imprisonment and to pay a
fine of 31000. Marion Biggs, formerly
Cnlted States commissioner at Prtne
vllle. was sentenced to pay a fine o,f
$500 and serve a term of 10 months In
prison.
From the severity of his sentence
It is seen that Gessner was adjudged
the most guilty of the trio since he
was the active agent in securing the
entrymen to make fraudulent entries.
Execution of the sentences is sus
pended pending the motion for apil-sl
which It is understood all the defend
ants will make.
Gessner's punishment was made
light because of his advanced age
and feeble health. Asked if he had
anything to say, Williamson replied
that he had not. He heard the sen
tence without wincing or other sign of
emotion.
The concluding arguments are being
mnde ill tho Jones land fraud trial,
which Is expected to go to the Jury
Monday.

What Might Have Hupiicncd Over the
Morocco Imbroglio.
Paris, Oct. 14. The French gov
ernment continues silent concerning
the alleged revelations of Great Brit
ain's offer of nuvai and military aid
to France If Germany assumed a bel
ligerent attitude over Morocco. In
the meantime the newspapers add new
phases to the disclosures.
The Figaro gives a detailed version
even more sensational than the previ
ous ulleged disclosures of the Matin.
It says that tfie previous report of
Great Britain offering to mobilize her
navy and land British troops in Ger
many is not correct, but that the ac
tual occurrence is about as follows:
M. Delcasse is alleged to have said:
"I have a formal assurance of Great
Britain's support."
Premier Kouvier Is represented as
answering: "And I have M. Berrere's
telegram proving that this means war
If we continue our policy. I refuse
to Indorse what' you s?em to treat so
lightly."
The other ministers are said to have
upheld M. Itouvler. whereupon M.
Delcasse resigned.
The foregoing version is rhlefly Im
portant In the allegation that Great
Britain sought for and promised a
military defensive alliance agajnst
Germany.
Later a semi-official note was Is
sued saying that the published reports
upon the Incidents accompanying the
resignation of M. Delcasse, and nota
bly the details regarding the cabinet
council preceding his resignation, are
Incorrect. The issuance of this denial
steadied prices on the bourse, which
showed uneasiness over the situation.
No New Trial for Subsidy Case.
Walla Walla, Oct. 14. Late yester
day afternoon Judge Brents overruled
the motion for a new trial id the case
of G. W. Hunt versus C. B. and W. H
I'pton, an action brought to recover
the amount of subsidy promised by
the defendants on account of the con
struction of the Hunt railroad. The
case will be appealed to the state su
preme court.
BLOCK SYSTEM
SIGNAL SYSTEM BEING
INSTALLED BY O. R. N
First Section Between Iji Grande and
Kameln is About Ready fir Opera
tion All Tcsto Have Been Highly
Successful -Circular of Instruction
Will Be Distributed to Train and
EugineiiH'n Entire System Between
1 41 Grande and Cayuse Will Be Com
plete Within Three Mouths.
Elaborate circulars explaining the
uses and signals of the new block Big
mil system which is now being in
stalled on the Blue mountains by the
O. It. & X., have been received at the
Iji Grande offices and will be distrib
uted to train and eiiginenien as soon
as tlie system Is ready for operation
between Im Grande nnd Kamela,
which will he In n very short time.
The system is now practically com
plete from Ia Grande to Kamela. and
all the apparatus has been successful
ly tested. The power house at Kamela,
from which the central energy is to
be generated for the entire system is
complete, and the engine installed.
The signal batteries have been put In
place at Intervals of three miles, all
operated by electricity supplied- from
the central station at Kamela.
The arms of the signals are operat
ed by a rod which is connected with
the ti-aek and to which the automatic
action Is supplied by Ine wheels of
cars passing over tile mechanism fixed
on the track.
As long as n train is in one of the
blocks, the arms remain raised by the
electric current which Is held In con
tact with the wheels. While the arms
are raised no following train can pass
the signal, so this prevents trains from
approaching nearer than three miles
of each other on the mountain grades.
The clrculnrs Issued give explicit In
formation as to the use and designs
of the system. All the running rules
of the road, which may be affected by
the new system are emphatically Im
pressed upon engine and trainmen.
It is thought that the new system
will be In operation between Cayuse
and Iji Grande within three months.
One man will care for about three sig
nal hlocks. There, will be 20, blocks
between I Grande and Cayuse when
the system Is complete.

Bnllurd Is Angry at Treatment Re
ceived From Big City.
Bnllurd is preparing to boycott Se
attle, sayjenhe Seattle Star.
Its merchants, like those of China,
feel -outraged at the treatment that
has been accorded them, and are
ready to strike back with the rrmst ef
fective weapon in their hands.
The attempts which certain local
citizens, with mysterious motives, are
making to use the Cedar river water
supply as a club to force Ballard to
annex to Seattle Is the cause of the
Ballard rebellion,
The Bullard merchants have bee.
quietly talking over the mutter for the
last few days, and have come to the
conclusion that a boycott will be th
quickest method of forcing certain
local bull-dozers into line. They fig
ure that the latter will quickly brine
such pressure to bear upon the coun
cil as will force the lutter to give tha
Bullard people the water service they
believe they deserve.
The cutting off of the Ballard water
supply will be the signal for the boy
cott, although the Ballard merchants
arc In a frame of mind to declare it
possibly before that time.
Tacoma wholesale houses, they
claim, are making an active bid for
the trnde of the Ballard merchant
and it would be an easy matter r
