SENATOR KNEW FILINGS ILIEGAL
Burk« and Qoslin Indicted by District
Attorney on Perjury Charge,
But Never Prosecuted.
Portland, Jan. 28.— Senator Fnlton
was again dragged into the conspiracy
cane ot John H. Hall and Edwin Mays
yesterday by Special Prosecutor Heney.
By the testimony of W. E. Burke and
W illiam Q. Gosliu, former agents for
A. B. Hammond, timlierland specu
lator, and at one time president of the
Astoria & Columbia Kiver railroad, it
was shown that late in 1899 and during
•1900 Fulton appeared ae attorney for
Burke and Goslin and two others, who
had been indicted by Hall on a charge
of conspiracy to defraud the go\em
inent by perjury.
Burke and Goslin testified that in
September, 1899, they induced 20 tran
sient male residents of the North End
to file on as many timberland claims
for a consideration of $2 each for their
services, with the express understand
ing that the claims so filed on should
be held for a time and relinquished,
when Burke and Goslin, representa
tives of Hammond, procured lieu land
scrip to cover the land included in the
relinquishments.
Only the prelim i
nary facts by which Fulton, as attorney
for Hammond and bis various interests,
will be associated with this transaction
were brought out yesterday, but Heney
promises by the introduction of further
eridence this morning conclusively to
prove not only that Fulton appeared in
a legal capacity for the men indicted,
bat that Hall, as United States attor
ney, failed to prosecute the alleged per
jurers, althouh he had full knowledge
of the unlawful filings.
RAILROADS AS K FOR TIM E.
Want to Teat Law ¿gainat Owning of
Coal Mines.
Washington, Jan. 28.— The operating
vice presidents of many cf the large
railroads of the country were received
by President Roosevelt yesterday and
presented a request that in execution
what is known as the comity amend
ment of the railroad rate law b ill one
case be brought against tho mails by
the government, this case to he finally
disposed of by the Supteme court of the
United States, This, if agreed to by
the government, would mean that the
railroads owning coal producing lands
would not sell them by May next, as
required by law, but could operate
them as heretofore until the disposal of
the test cases. The law in question is
regarded by the roads as unconstitu
tional.
The president referred the railroad
men to the Interstate Commerce com
mission, where it is understood the
question will be fully discussed and a
report made to the president as to the
legal possibility of carrying out the
suggestion made.
PO LICE BILL IS PASSED.
Nevada House Acta on Bill Received
From Senate.
Carson, Nev., Jan. 28.— The Nevada
legislature has passed the police bill,
giving this state a measure that pro
vides for a system of policing in time of
riots which it is believed will quell all
trouble in the Goldfield section at the
present time and place the state in po
sition to handle any future contingen
cies that may arise.
Several members whe were devout
union men hsve made a fight in opposi
tion to the bill, while the conservative
members have made a forcible issue
and have won the law.
Speaker
Skaggs, who has been taking a most
active part for the union men, left his
chair and voted.
Skaggs denounced
the bill as pernicious and exar-like and
predicted the men who voted for it
were digging their political graves. All
amendments were lost and the bill
went through as it came from the sen
ate.
Fined On the 16-Hour Law.
Butte, Mont , Jsn. 28.— A special to
the Miner, from Helena, says that for
violating the 16-hour law, the North
ern Pacific Railway company was this
morning fined $100 in Judge J. M. Cle
ments’ court. The case attracted con
siderable interest because it is consid
ered a test of the law created at the last
session of the legislature to prevent
railroad employes from bring obliged
to work when they are really incapaci
tated from efficient service. The case
will lie appealed and the constitution
a lity of the law tested.

“ From the evidonoe so adduced and
from independent investigation the de

that the stockholding of the Union Pa

direct violation of the Sherman act.
“ The department regards the atilt as

means thereof to brpak up a substantia)

Aside from the railway companies

Heney Says He Cannot Convict Him
o f Conspiracy.
Portland, Jan. 27.— Franklin Pierce
Mays, ex-state senator, was tne princi

in the Federal court.
A treacherous
aud failing memory prevented the wit
ness from positively associating his va
rious conversations with Hall and the
dates of the letters that passed between
ihem. Probably the most damaging
evidence against Hail, adduced from
the witness, was his identification of n
letter written by himself to Steiwer in
which Mays told of his successful efforts
in dissuading Hall from instituting
crim iral proceedings against the mem
bers of the Butte Creek company for
unlawful fencing.
Before Mays was called into the court
room, Heney announced that he wished
the indictment dismissed agnnist Mays,
who was a co-defendant with Hall and
Edwin Mays. In making this request
of the court, Heney said that he did
not consider that the government was
in possession of sufficient evidence with
which to convict Mays of the alleged
conspiracy. latter in the examination
of Mays, Heney repeated the declara
tion he made before, that it was not
his intention to prosecute Mays on any
of the other remaining indictments
against him bt cause of his physical
condition. Judge Hunt consented to
the dismissal of the indictment and at
the same time exonerated the bond
Maya had furnished. Mays was then
sworn as a witness for the prosecution.

Hale asserted that such provisions
should be stricken out, as he regarded
slavery as obsolete in the United States

to it,
Heyburn, in charge of the bill, con

by the fact thet the elections for presi

I
The Grange bus, for forty yeats,
stood for the upliftment cf the farmer,
and we only have to look hack, over
its history, to see what it has accom
plished for us.
It is to the Grange that we owe the
rural mail delivery, the oleomagariue
bill, the denatured alcohol law, and In
many states It has forced the passage of
better tax laws, and other laws that
assist in giving the farmer the benefits
of his labor.
Nor is the work of the Grange alone
directed to the urging the passage of
laws. It becomes needful to prevent
the passage of some laws that would be
detrimental tc the best interests of the
farmer, and that is a part of the work
the Grange does.
Space will not permit me to go into
details, but anyone may obtain the de
tails by asking for them.
Although we take an interest in the
legislative work of our people, we also
benefit them in many ways besides.
To the young man and woman, we
offer a chance to gain pleasure and
profit in the meetings of the Grange, as
we carry on our meetings in strict par
liamentary manner, providing we get
the right person for Master, and so give
them a chance to learn how such work
is done. W e also have literary pro
grams, providing we get the right per
son for Lecturer, and so give them a
chance to piactice speaking in public,
and appearing on the rostrum before an
audience, all of whioh is a benefit to
any young or, I d fact, an older person,
too, in tiiese times of public awakening.
To the father and mother, who are
the providers for s family, it gives them
a chance to purchase their needed sup
plies in connection with their brothers
and sisters, and so gain the advantage
that is to be derived from wholesale
dealing.
To the home owner, It provides a safe
and sure, as well as cheap insurance for
his property, aDd any member of the
Grange, who is attached to any suber-
dinate Grange is entitled to that benefit.
Our insurance is carried at exact coat,
and we are laying by no surplus to be
lost by poor investments, or by the dis
honesty ot the officers, but we keep
enough on hands at all times so that
we can pay all losses promptly, upon
the proof being sent in.
In life insurance we have none to
offer that will answer the demands of
the great majority of onr patrons, but
we are working on a plan, that w ill ul
timately furnish us a life insurance as
well as a property insurance, and on
the same basis, that of actual cost.
In the line of purchasing and selling,
we are not as well organised as we
would like to be, but as the dealers are
all in combines, and the commission
men are all united by common consent,
it behooves us, as farmers, to combine
if we would protect our own interests
aud obtain the just rewards for our
labor and enjoy the (letter accommoda
tions that we might, have if we could
obtain the real fruits of our labors.
In the Grange we place woman where
she belongs, on an equality with man,
and so make our order a truly social
one, and oar Grange work includes the
enjoyment of the fruits of our labors, as
well as the education of the mind, and
the guarding of the puree.
In conclusion let me state the pur
poses of the Grange, as set forth in tiie
declaration of purposes adopted by the
founders of the order:
To develop a higher and better man
hood and womanhood among ourselves.
To enhance tiie comfort« and attractions
of the home, and strengthen our attach
ments to our pursuits. To foster mu
tual understanding and co-operation.
To maintain inviolate our laws, and to
emulate each other in labor, to hasten
the good time coming. To reduce out
expense1, both individual and corpor
ate. To buy less and produce more in
order to make onr farms self sustaining.
To diversify our crops, and to crop no
mors than we ran cultivate.
To con
dense the weight of our exports, selling
legs in the bushel and more in hoof and
in fleece, and less In lint and more in
warp and woof.
To systematize our
work and calculate intelligently on
probabilitiea. To discountenance the
credit system, the mortgage system,
the fashion system, and every other
system that tends to prodigality and
bankruptcy.
W e propose meeting together, talk
ing together, wot king together, buying
together, selling together, and in gen
eral, acting together for our mutual
protection and advancement.
I f we, ae farmers, become organized,
we have the power to ask for what we
want and to get it, becauee we have the
numbers, and all than ia required is the
union that is the means of unifying
that power.
Think the matter over, and decide to
organize a Grange and ao help to make
this world more worth living in
FULTON IMPLICATED
Brownell Gives Testimony In tbe

Telia How He Was Induced to Indorse

o f Indictment.
Portland, Jan. 25.— Senator Fulton
was unfavorably connected with the
Hal I-Maya conspiracy case by the teati-
mony of George C. Brownell, ex-presi
dent of the Oregon state senate and (or
years a prominent Republican of the
state. BrowDell testified that he was
forced to withdraw from tbe contest for
appointment as United States attorney
for Oregon in 1903 becauee of the Insin
uations of Hall that the government
was in possession of evidence on whioh
Brownell’s indictment for complicity
In the Oregon land frauds was proba
ble. The dethroned hoes of Clackamas
county polltioa further teetifled that in
return for the indorsement of Hall for
reappointment, which he was forced
to make, Senators Mitchell and Fulton
exacted from Hall a promise of immun
ity from prosecution for Brownell and
the latter's former law partner, J. U.
Campbell, also of Cackamae connty.
The purpose of Brownell’s testimony,
which was admitted over the vigorous
objection of counsel for the defendants,
was to corroborate the charge of con
spiracy alleged against Hall in the in
dictment in that Hall controlled Steiw-
er’s vote (or senator in return for hia
failure to prosecute Steiwer and his as
sociates for enclosing government land,
by showing that Hali used his < ffiee as
diswlct attorney to intimidate othera
and tc force them to Indorse and sup
port him for reappointment.
This
contention by Heney has been support
ed by the testimony of Steiwer and
Hendricks in the Butte Creek com
pany’s operations and bv that of Brown
ell yesterday, and Heney proposes by
the introduction of other witnesses to
day to show that Hall, together with
the connivance of Fnlton, prostituted
his office as district attorney by protect
ing violators of the law in two other
specific instnees.
W . W. Steiwer, president of the
Butte Creek company, completed hia
direct testimony yesterday and w ill be
