Willianl McGarrahan

TIE Sublofned article taken from the Roston
Hedta. Is SO entirely In accord with the feelings
anu CONVICTIONS or every citizen OF Washington.
VINO mas made the personal acquaintance of
VILLAIN McGarrahan, that am tempted to ask
u ose ianor OF having It copied into the columns
vi YOUR paper which Is par excellence the repre-
sentative OF the local feelings and sentiments OF
this community. -
l make this request without any suggestion
IRON MI. Meg, and without any interest In the
result Of his controversy with the New Idria
Mlnlng company, other than the natural sym
patDy one feels for a man, who has shown SO
mucn puck ana determination In the mainte-
hance OF, what, he believes to be, his rights.
"MGARRAHAN
some progress toward doing Justice to a man
VINO, am convinced, has been greatly wronged,
mas been made this week by committee of
Congress. "Billy" McGiarrahan has gained a
notable victory. By a vote OF 6 to the House
conmlttee on public lands has voted to report
10 l favor OF granting McGarrahan's request to
nave his claim to the New Idria silver mining
property referred to the Court of Claims for
adjudication. This is all that McGarrahan asks.
ana the TACT that he asks no more Is strong evil
uehce ia IaVOr or the justice OF his claim. be-
HeVe that this man, who has been pressing his
case In Washington for fifteen years or more, is
1n the right, and that he viii triumph In the
end. He Is wonderfully quiet and patient
fellow, perfectly unassuming, thoroughly well
known in Washington, thoroughly respectable
In his life, and In all the years OF hts claimant
should say he is the poorest, the most persist
ent and the most respectable OF all the people
who have figured as claimants around the halls
of Congress. Perhaps there have been others
as poor as he but, If the stories about him are
true, McGarTahan has sometimes had little but
hope to live on. He has known what IL Is to
subsist on one meal a day, yet never heard OF
his begging the assistance OF anybody; and his
personal appearance is Invariably neat, and not
Indicative OF needineSS. During all these years
that McGaTrahan, without dollar OF money,
fighting his battles I'm Congress and In the
courts, the great company which he claims is
trespasser upon his property has poured out
can be spent in Washington in order " to beat
McGarrahan." Huge lobby fees have been paid
year after year, and hundreds OF costly dinners
have been given "to beat McGarrahan:" The
trouble is that McGarrahan will not stay beaten.
1t would not be surprising IL his little bill were
to pass at this session, and then McGarrahan
can bring his suit In the Court OF Claims, whlca
tribunal, he Is perfectly certain, win turn his
property over to him. Then he VIII be the owner
