LAND-FRAUD
TRIALS BEGIN
COURT OPENED ON MONDAY
Indictment ef Senator Mitchell At.
tack) - Defense Claimed it
Illegal-Is Overruled.
The demurrer to the indictment
of Senator Mitchell, was heard Mon
day morning, and was the first of
the Oregon land-fraud cases, to come
before Judge De Haven. The In
dictment accusing John II. Mitch
ell of accepting a fee for services
performed while United States Sen
ator Judge De Haven, overruled the
demurrer of the defense and set the
trial of Senator Mitchell for Tues
day June 20. . The great land fraud
case will now enter on the actual
fight in court with all tectnical bar
riers swept away.
The alleged crime for which the
Government iseneleavoring to place
Senator Mitchell on trial consists in
accepting a fee from Frederick A
(Cribs for expediting claims before
the General Land Office while a
United States Senator. This is
contrary to the Federal statutes.
The issue was the legality of the In
dictment itself, and the principal ar
guments of the defense were that
the document was loosely' drawn,
that if tried on its indefinite allega
tions Senatcr Mitchell might be
again placed in jeopardy, and above
all, that the indictment did not even
allege that Mr. Mitchell was a Sen
ator at the time of the commission
of the crime charged.
That Senator Mitchell entered in
to an agreement between Frederick
A. Kribs and A. II. Tanner, by
which the firm of Mitchell & Tan
ner were to expedite certain claims
in the possession of Kribs then
pending in the General Land office,
which claims had been held up for
investigation owing to irregulariti
es; that for every claim passed
through to patent the defendant
was to receive a fee. Senator Mit
chell working in Washington and
Tanner in Portland; that fees were
paid and the service rendered con
trary to the Federal statutes gov
erning the conduct of public offi
cials of the Government.
The defense contends by demur
rer that the indictment is not de
finite and certain, in that it does
not allege John II. Mitchell to have
been a Senator at the time of the
commission of the crime, an allega
tion made necessary by the fact that
his office made his alleged acts ille
gal when otherwise they were ac
cording to law; that it does not set
out in patticular terms the special
claims for the expedition of which
fees were alleged to have been paid;
that the description of the claims is
vague and indistinct and technical
and that the indictment through its
uncertainness does not form a bar
to future prosecution upon the same
charge in the case of trial and ac
quittal or conviction.
District attorney Ileney contends
that the indictment is definite and
certain: that by recitation the al
legation is made that John II. Mit
chell was a Senator of the United
States at the time of the alleged
crime; that the claims set out in
general are afterwards particulari
zed in a list given which makes de
finite the allegation as to which
claims are involved; that the abre
viation used in the description of
the claims in the indictment are
usual and well known and allow
able. Beayerton Happenings.

Weather Report.
The first of the week was cloudy
and cool and good rains fell in
nearly all sections of the state. On
Wednesday the rains ceased and
the remainder of the week was
warm and pleasant.
The warm weather and bright
sunshine immediately following the
rains had a very beneficial effect on
all crops, and a marked improve
ment is noted, especially in the con
dition of field corn, potatoes and
onions, which are now growing
rapidly. Fall grain continues to
head nicely, and barley and rye
will soon be ready to cut Spring
wheat and oats are growing satis
factorily. The grain aphis con
tinues numerous in the Willamette
valley and in some portions of south
era Oregon, but so far but little
damage has occurred. Gardens
and roots show a marked improve'
ment. Grasses are growing rapidly
and some hay has been cut in south
era Oregon. Haying will not be
come general, however, for about
two weeks. Pastures continue in
fine condition and stock is doing
well, especially dairy cattle.
Cherries are ripening slowly, with
the yield considerably below aver
age in most sections. Other tree
fruits indicate lighter yields than
usual; especially peaches, prunes
and early apples. Late apples and
pears promise better results. Bush
fruit is setting nicely and an abun
dant yield is promised.

CROWNED
WITH SUCCESS
TO DISCUSS QUESTION of PEACE
President Roosevelt's Effort Is Successful-
Meeting Placo now
being Considered.
Washington, June 12 Official
assurance that the president's ef
forts to bring Russia and Japan to
gether to discuss peace will be
crowned with success was brought
to the White House today by Count
Cassina, the Russian ambassador,
who called by appointment and in
the name of Emperor Nicholas for
mally accepted the president's "of
fer of good will." The following
official statement regarding the con
ference was issued at the White
House:
Ambassador Cassina has called to
express the Russian government's
assent to the president's proposi
tion and to state that they would
appoint plenipotentiaries to meet
the plenipotentiaries of Japan to dis
cuss the question of peace. The
place of meeting is at present being
discussed."
During the past two weeks the
president's efforts have been direct
ed toward a mutual agreement to
consider terms of peace. This he
accomplished finally today. It re
mains now for the belligerent pow
ers to name their plenipotentiaries
and agree upon a time and place for
them to meet to discuss terms and
to negotiate a treaty of peace.
These duties are now under consid
eration, with a bright prospect that
minor differences as may exist will
be resolved within a few days.
Japan was the first of the two
powers to indicate its acceptance of
President Roosevelt's proposition.
The iormal response to his identi
cal note of Thursday last was re
ceived from the Japanese govern
ment Saturday. Informal assur
ances of the acceptance of the presi
dent's suggestion were received
from the Russian government a lit
tle later, but were not of the same
definite character as had been re
ceived from Tokio.
The St. Petersburg correspondent
of the Times says:
"It is no exaggeration to say
that President Roosevelt is the
most popular man in Russia today.
The president's rare insight, aided
by the skill and tact of his ambassa
dor, Mr. - Meyer, enabled him to
gauge the proper moment at which
to offer advice which the initiator
of The Hague peace conference
could not refuse."
