Oregon Land Fraud Trials Cannot

BRISTOL TO 60 ON WITH CASES
Department of Justice Has Boon at
Last Goaded to Action by Com
plaints and Criticisms.
Washington. Nov. 26.—Further poet
ponenient of the trial of the Oregon
land fraud cases la not to be tolerated.
Because of complaint« and ctiticisnis
the department of Justice has decided
to take radical steps, which will force
trials al an early date, and it is expect
ed that District Attorney Bristol will
soon receive instructions to proceed.
Only recently John Hall, under in
dictment, write the president, asking
for trial. Hie request was tiansmitted
to the attorney general and thence to
Mr. Bristol, who replied that he could
not proceed, as that was one of F. J.
Henev's cases.
The department save that, if Mt.
Heney cannot get away from San Fran
cisco long enough to prosecute Hall and
Binger Hermann, some one else will be
found who can take up this work.
In
fairness to those under indictment, the
department beliexee these long delayed
cases should be tried.
It is pro liable
that Mr. Bristol will be instructs»! to
prosecute Hall and Hermann, as well
as all others under indictment for land
frauds.
BURNED IN REVENGE.
Thirteen Parsons Roasted in New
York to Gratify Malice.
New York, Nov. 26.—Thirteen per
sons lost their lives and several others
were injured early today in a tenement
house tire at 109 Eighth street and Sec
ond avenue. All the dead were Italians.
Six of the 13 wereehildren. The bodies
were huddled together in rooms on the
top floor of the four-story building,
where the terror-stricken people had
been driven by thi flames, which rush
ed up from the lower floors. Some bad
been enveloped in the flames and^burn-
ed alive. Others, overcome by smoke,
were spared the agonies of death by the
flames.
That the fatal fire was the work of
incendiaries who sought revenge is the
opinion of the police and firemen, who
male the first hasty examination.
Three weeks ago three Italians were
caught in the act of trying to rob a safe
in the saloon of Guiseppe Cudano, on
the ground floor. The safe contained
more than *2,‘too which the saloonist’s
friends had withdrawn from the banks
during the monev panic. The would-
be robbers were arrested and are now
awaiting trial.
The fire of today started in Cudano'«
saloon, and the police believe it may
have been the work of friends of the
prisoners, who take this means of squar
ing accounts with the saloonist.
OPEN MORE LAND.
GREATER BAN FRANCISCO.
NEW BOXAR OUTBREAK.
Charter Amendments to Provide for
Immense Bond Issue.
Aged Ch nean Emprsae Alone Holds
Back Fanatic Hordes.
Ban Francisco, Nov. 26.—By ths ape
cial session of ths legislature, the city
of ban FraiK'isoo has teen enabled to
raks.tha neceesaty step« for rehabilita
tion' on a big eoale. The legislature
has ratittai amendments to the local
charter which were adopted by the
voters at the laet election. The most
important of ths auiemlmenta to the
city at the present time is that which
admits ol the sale of bonds bearing 5
per cent interest Under ths charter
the city was empowered to issue bonds
carrying interest not in excess of 4 per
cent. The local law provides tliat the
bonds may not tie rold below |»ar. It
was impossible to sell 4 per cent
ttomls, but uow the city will be able to
go ahead with 6 per cent securities.
Of course it is not expected that they
can lie fl.ated under prevent financial
oouditioua,. but by the time the ques
tion has been submitted to the voters
and the bonds prepared, it is believed
that the flurry will have passed.
It is proposed to issue 5 per cent
bonds to the extent of *28,000,000 for
public improvements.
Of thia sum
*6,000.000 will ta devote»! to the re
construction of the city ball. One mil
lion dollars will be devoted to the re
construction of th»> shattered hall of
justice. It was completely wrecked by
the tire and during the Schmits admin
istration no effort was made to restore
it. Due million dollars is io be spent
for a new county hospital. Another
million will be used for a public libra
ry. Several million (the amount has
not yet been accurately estimated) will
l>e devoted to the erection of new school
houses, several hundred thousand will
be used for the purchase of lands ter
park purposes; *5,000,000 will be em
ployed for the re<-onstructioii of sewers
and streets, and *6,000.000 will be de
voted to the purposes of an auxiliary
water system from the ocean for fire
fighting.

wards of the city under the state law
which carries penalties of a *200 fine
and a jail sentence for each proven vio
lation.
Mayor Busse has thus far refused to
