HtNEY IS MOVING WITH CAUTION WILL TRY BUT TVO DEFENDANTS
Portland, Jan. 18.—The government
yesterday tnntintied laying tbe foereJa-
tiorr of tbe ca*e against John H. Hall
awl Edwin Maye.
Heney introduced some 60 letters,
written from June, 1990, to Heptem-
tier, 1902., by Hall, Mays, Iannis,
Htratforil and Putnam. More such Ut
ter» will follow today.
ilall objected seriously to only one
letter, written by Hecretary Hiteheock
to Hpwial Inspector A. K. Greene, di
re, ting Green* to
invMtigato
the
fences. Heney' purpose is to show
that this investigation was prompted
by settlers, who had appealed vainly to
Hall to act against the fences.
Hall
olij.cts to the letter because a copy and
not th* original letter baa been offered
and breaiiee it ie irrelevant.
Judge
Hunt will decide tin questions this
morning.
Unlike Hall. Mays raised numerors
objections In the course of tbe day.
The steps in the government's evi
dence of o >ns pi racy will be about aa
follows:
First—To prove llall end Maya had
freqnent knowledge Irom protesting eet-
tlers of the lenos as early aa March,
1900.
Hecoml—That Hteiwer, Zachary and
Hendricks cause*I various persons to file
on land for their company, in order to
complete the company's enclosure cf
public land.
Third—That Hall and Mare took no
steps to pruaecute tbe offenders, though
they had full knowledge of the fencing
and the conspiracy for more than three
years.
At thia «’age, Hteiwer ie expected to
testify «boat tbe alleged understanding
by which Hall and Maye wrre not to
prosecute him and hie aeoociate».
One
of tbe terma of tins alleged agreement
was Hetiwer'e vote for Fulton.
George Brownell la expected to testify
tliat Hall promised him Immunity from

TENANTS IN RIOT*.
Object to Paying More Thon Rata
They Fla Thsmsetvee.
New Toik, Jan 18.—Forcible resist
ance by teoante whom an Upper East
Hide landlord was trying to evict retail
ed yesterday in tbe gathering of a crowd
of two thouaamd or more sympathisers
in tbe neighborhood, who made ee
much tronble for lhe police that the
precinct reserves were called oat. Dar
ing the rioting (oar women and a num
tier of men were taken into custody.
Ths riotous demonstration begao
when a city marshal and aboet 25 as
sistants visited tbe block on the south
side of East One Hundred and Fourth
street, between First and Second ave
nues, with 80 ¿¡»possess warrants for
families who bad unitedly demanded
redixrtions in rents cf a dollar a month
and had refused to pay the landlord's
collector more than tbe new rate they
had fixcl. The taking ont > f th- turn
iture from the rooms of the first family
visited was tbe signal for an al tack OB
the marshal and hie men by tcorea of
tenants.
Angry women surrounded a patrol-
rnsn who had gone to the marshal's as
sistance and had half torn his coat from
hie back when assistance arrived.
He
arrested four women.
Several demon
strative men were also sent to the sta
tion bouse. The police were by this
time struggling with little snecees te
disperse an increasing crowd of angry
denionatiators, hut other arrests by the
officers finally hs.l the effect of putting
a stop to tbe trcnble.
The immediate purpose of the dem
onstration w»a effected, the marshal
deciding not to attempt the serving of
more dispossess warrants at this time.
Hayti is in Revo'ution.
Port Au Prince, Hayti. Jan. 18.—
The first actual operation of a revolu
tionary movement against the preeent
governmrnt of Hayti took p’ace yester
day, and so far has been successful. An
expedition composed of Ilaytiens, who
have been in exile, under the oommand
of Jean Juneau, effected a landing not
far from Gonalvee. 65 miles northwest
of here, and occupied that town. The
government Is taking measures to reeist
the movement.
The
revolutionary
force« also occupied St. Marc, some 20
miles from Gonalvee.

Deny Sulphur Injures Fruit.
Ran Francisco, Jan. 18.—At the state
convention of California fruit growers
today a committee of seven was appoint
ed to go to Washington tc protest
sgairst and secure a modification of the
rule covering the use of sulphur in
bleaching and drying fruit«. In resolu
tions and speeches it was stated that
the use of sulphur «aa not deleterious
to the public health and that the dry

oration was Impracticable in this state.

Portland, Jan. 16.—Twelve jorors,
satisfactory alike to the government
end to the detrnae, acre selected yes
terday to determine the guilt or Inno
cence of John If. flail, ex-United
Htatee attorney for Oregon, and Edwin
Maye, who are jointly charged with il
legally fencing public lands in Eastern
Oregon. The first juror, Alfred Freerk-
sen, a farmer of I.el«non, Linn county,
was accepted at 11 o'clock and the jury
was complete*, at 6:M o'clock yea erday
afternoon with th* acceptance of Henry
Freer keen, a farmer of Rhe* ds. Linn
county, and a brother of the first eian
selected. Both side« tiad exhausted
their tl ree peremptory challenges bs-
fore the name of Henry Freerksen was
reached, but ba was subjected to a
thorough questioning by Special Prose
euror Heney before being accepted.
When court convened yesterday
morning Mr. Heney created a senxeltion
by announcing that of the 12 defendants
named in the indictment only Hall and
Edwin Maya would be tried at this
time. His failure to Indicate when W.
W. Hteiwer, Hamilton li. Hendricks
and Clarence B. Zachary would be tried,
if at all, la believed to give color to the
report that these three deftndanta have
been promised immunity in return for
important tert i mon y against their co
defendants. The teetimony of these
defendant«, it has t*een ruin ¡red, ie
considered eseentlal to the rase of the
