Reasons Why They Are Not Collected and

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-A meeting of the In
diana delegation in Congress was held in Sena-
tor Harrisons committee room this morning.
The meeting was held for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what steps could be taken to secure to
the State OF Indiana reimbursement of inter-
est paid upon her war loan During the incip-
iency of the war the State borrowed 81 coo 003
with which to equip soldiers and send them to
the front The United States paid TO the State
the principal of the loan, but did not reimburse
her for the interest, which aggregates between
$3.50, 900 and $4OO, O00 A bill has several times
been favorably reported from the committee
authorizing payment of interest in these cases.
There are several States interested,
but it seems that the bill has never been
pushed good deal of work would remain for
Congressional representatives to do. even after
the bill was finally passed No definite action
was taken at the meeting this morning. Under
the present law of Indiana directing the At
torney general to collect claims of this character
nearly one-fourth of the principal is absorbed by
that officer and his deputy in fees 1t was
figured that Attorney general Hord and his
deputy would receive about 100000 in fees
should this claim be paid, and it was decided
that that was out of all proportion and
unjust and that nothing would be done in
the matter until the laws wero amended.
The Indiana members and senator's recon-
mended that the Legislature take some action in
the matter by amending the laws. so that if the
Attorney general is allowed any commission it
will be q moderate and reasonable one. Mr..
Baldwin came here when he was Attorney
general, and meeting was held for the same
purpose as the one to-day, but the game OBJ
lection was offered to combined Tove on the
part of the delegation

Immediately he let his right out and planted

was unprepared for the onslaught, let go his left

ALIEN LANDOWNERS.

One Hundred Million Acres of American
Lands Owned by Englishmen.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Representative Oates,
of the committee on public lands, has prepared
report on the bill to prohibit aliens and foreign
ers from acquiring or owning lands within the
United States, which the committee has reported
to the house with the recommendation that it do
pass, MIR Oates says:
'Your committee ascertained with reasonable
certainty that certain noblemen of Europes~
principally Englishmen, have acquired and now
own, in the aggregate, about 100 600 900 acres Of
land within the United States, We have not
sufficient information to state the quantity
owned by untitled aliens, nor is it so important
as it is generally held in smaller bodies. This
alien. nonresident ownership will, In the course
Of time, lead to system of landlord
ism incompatible with the best inter
ests and free institutions of the United
States The foundation for such sysfem
is being laid broadly in the Western States and
Territories. a considerable number of immi-
grants annually arriving in this country are to
become tenants and herdsnen on the vast posses
sons of these foreign ownedlands, under contracts
made and entered into before they sail for our
shores. The avarice and enterprise of European
capitalists have caused them to invest many
millions in American railroad and land bonds
covering perhaps, 100, 1000, 600 acres, the greater
part of which, under foreclosure sales will most
likely, before many years, become the property
of these foreign bondhoders, in addition to their
present princely possessions 1t is thus manifest
that if the present large alien ownership is an
