WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The members of
the Senate Committee on Public Lands ex-
press the opinion that the House bill TO
prohibit fencing public lands will be re-
ported back favorably to the Senate with
amendments soon after re-convening Con-
gress. The House bill makes it lawful for
any citizen or settler to remove such
fences at will. This, in the opinion OF some
members Of the Senate Committee, does
not go far enough, since few settlers would
be willing to incur the powerful enmity OF
cattIemen and cowboys. 1t has been pro-
posed to amend the bill by re-enacting an
old law on the subject, requiring removals
OF fences to be done by the United States
Marshal and military when their services
are required.
