TANNER A STRONG WITNESS
Tails About Mitchell's Efforts to Havs
Bookt Destroyed.,
Portland, June S3. The session, ot
yesterday morning opened with ex
Judge Tanner upon the stand, where he
remained until the evening adjourn
ment, and was then not much more
than half through with his testimony.
At the beginning of his examination,
the witness stated that he had mads
another agreement with Kriba on Feb
tuary 13, 1902, in regard to another
list ot land to be expedited. He also
identified the entry in the bookt relat
ing to the first payment ot 500 as a
cash retainer for the services ot the
firm. This entry had been changed,
however, about the time of the Puter
trial to read "Cash retainer in second
lieu list," instead ot "Cash retainer
in S. A. D. Puter list," as it had form
erly been. He had done this because
he was afraid that harm might come
from the entries if they happened to be
found.
The witness also stated that the re
ceipts for the month ot February had
been divided between himself and
Mitchell, and demonstrated from the
hook how Mitchell had received his
halt of the $500 check.
The prosecution now began the In
troduction ot the correspondence which
had passed between the senator and
Mr. Tanner during all of this time,
which correspondence treated of the
Kribs matter and referred to the fees to
be received, and contained requests
and directions to the senator as to hit
procedure in Washington in expediting
the claims, lists ot which had been sent
to him. One letter told ot a promised
fee of f 1,000, and related to the fee to
be paid the senator for assisting in a
Chinese case. Other letters urged the
senator to take up the Kribs matters
personally with Hermann, and hurry
them through, as the payment ot the
fees due depended upon the haste with
which the patents were issued.
Telegrams showing the activity ot
the senator at Washington were also
introduced and read to the jury, which
related to actions done by the aonator
and to the conclusions reached by the
department, presumably as a result of
the influence he had brought to bear
upon the commissioner.
During the day the courtroom was
crowded with many members of the
local bar. Many of them Bhook hands
with Senator Mitchell when court ad
journed both at noon and in the after
noon. A numler of - the senator's
friends were present and he was con
gratulated on his birthday During the
morning session, Judge Webster sat
near the senator. Mayor Williams
came in just as Judge Tanner was com
ing to the most important part of his
testimony.
CALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.
Trans-Mississippi Congress Soon to
Gather In Portland.
Portland, June 23. The call has
gone out for the Sixteenth Annual
Trans-Mississippi congress to take place
in Portland, August 16, 17, 18 and 19.
The executive committee has sent out
word to governors of states and , terri
tories, mayors of cities, boards of coun
ty commissioners, chambers of com
merce and trade organizations to ap
point their delegates and send them to
take part. And this they will surely
do, for the Trans-Mississipi congress,
being, as its name implies, of peculiar
interest to those states tins side of the
Mississippi river, has become an event
of particular significance. Mcreover,
there are certain matters of high .im
portance to come before the body.
The Pacific trade will be the duel
topic of conference, as the official call
points out. Though this has come be
fore the congress previously, the force
of it has never been brought out as it
will here on account of the contiguity
of Portland to the Orient. Trade rela
tions with the Far East will be exploit
ed to the end that the best me'hods
may be adopted to secure the Oriental
commerce to the trans-Mississippi
states.
The executive committee also points
out the increasing demand for a Depart
ment of Mines and Mining, with its
bead a member of the president's cab
inet. An effort will be made to secure
action from the national congress to
wards the establishment of such a de
partment. More Officials Resign.
New York, June 23. Chairman
Morton announced that he had accepted
today the resignations of several of the
employes of the Equitable society,
among them that of Charles Francis
Williamson, who was secretary to form
er Vice President Hyde, with headquar
ters at the latter's residence. It is un
derstood tbat a number of the high sal
aried subordinates will tender their res
ignations and tbat many dismissals of
minor employes here and at all the
leading agencies are contemplated in
the near future.
Puts Ban on Chinese Boycott.
Tientsin. June 23. Viceroy Yuan
has prohibited students from holding
meetings in reference to the boycotting
of American manufactured goods and
has also issued a strong proclamation
against merchants interferrina with
affairs in the hands of the government.
THOUSANDS SLAIN
Soldiers Shoot Into Rioters In
City ol Lodz, Russia.
POPULATION RISES AGAINST ACT
Enraged at the Slaughter of Socialist
Marchert, People Unite In a
Detperate Outbreak.
Lodi, Russian Poland, June 24.
Yesterday, "Mack Friday," in Lod,
surpassed all the horrors of "Red Sun
day" in St. Petersburg. While it it
not yet possible to ascertain the exact
number of the victims, estimates place
the killed and wounded at high at
2,000.
The troubles here were initiated by
the Social Democrats and Jewish Bund,
who determined to avenge their com
rade killed in the rioting on Wednes
day.
Thursday the feaBt of Corpus Chritti
passed off quietly, but during the night
workmen attacked the patrols. In this
fighting two officers and seven Cossacks
were killed. One ot the latter was
shot by a girl ot 13 years.
Friday was a day ot terror. The city
was given up to bloodshed. Anarchy
and tierce street fighting prevailed all
day. Barricades were hurriedly con
structed in the Jewish quarter at dawn.
Men climbed to the roofs of houses,
cutting telephone and telegraph wires
to use for entanglements in the streets,
while others cut down telegraph poles
and used them in strengthening their
barricades which already had been con
structed and in building others.
Early in the day two bombs were
thrown from the crowd into the bar
racks, killing or wounding 20 soldiers.
TIME OF ITS LIFE.
Congressional Irrigation Committee It
Won by the Wett.
Reno, Nev., June 24. The congres
sional irrigation party has experienced
one continuous round of pleasure from
the time it left Kansas City on June 1
up to the present moment, and the
stack of invitations on hand indicates
that the last half of the trip will lie
crowded just as full of enjoyment at
the first. Each city visited had en
deavored to outdo the other and each
rural district has attempted to demon
strate that it m the one "garden spot"
of the country. There have been ban
quets galore, not dress affairs, but cor
dial meetings lacking in formality and
pervaded by that spirit ot hospitality
which characterizes the entire West.
The gates of the several cities have
been opened wide, the liberties of the
party have been unrestrained, and the
result has been that everybody lias had
a bully good time. When the party
enters a city, it becomes the city s
guest, and in no instance has a city
along the route failed to turn out to do
honor to the visiting lawmakers.
The tiip is necessarily hurried; little
time is allowed for sightseeing. Every
thing is sacrificed to the cause of irri
gation.
FINISHES WITH TANNER.
P-osecution Through with Star Wit
ness and Defense Takes Him.
Portland. June 24. Judce A. H.
Tanner, the covernment's star witness
against Senator Mitchell, in the land
fraud cases, now on trial before Judge
Uc Haven, is in tne nanus oi me at
torneys for the defense. For 114
hours the former friend and business
partner of the senator from Oregon has
been on the witness stand. The things
to which he has testified, the mass of
documentary evidence to which he has
sworn as having passed between him
self and Senator Mitchell, has been
damaging to a degree to the defendant.
Today ex Senator Thurston and
Judce Bennett will begin their determ
ined effort to break down this mass of
testimony and esneciallv to draw forth
admissions tending to show that the
senator had no guilty knowledge when
he received bis snare ot tne tirm s lees
in the Kribs transactions.
