me commission further finds that

sle,i uttered said forgery by publish.
inv n In the Cincinnati ConinicrciW
G,.sls, but finds that neither Fonkcr

~ the same was forgery. The
commission finds that no one OF the
s.r-ous whose names appear ON said
,lleg,sl contract had or has either d.
rrIly Of Indirectly any unlawful, cor
mi or lmnfoper. or any other connec-
nm with or Interest In the ballot boxes
which are said 10 be- the subject OF the
ALLEGED contract, and there never was
any other contract relating 10 said ball
btboKt. In which either OF thesc per.
,ln.. alone or Jointly with Others, was
10 any way Interested.
A SUPPLEMENTARY REroRI,
,gnrd By III " the members except
Caaiuman Mason, finds that the con.
duct Of Wood during tho negotiations
with Fonker disclosed his dcpravity.
They Also believe a careful scrutiny ~
the face Of the forged paper must have
shown IL false character.
This high stations occupied In public
sfiir by the persons whose names
vefc forged should have suggested n
vehncailon Of tho corrupt paper be-
fhu II was uttered or published. The
1 pu,ilcstion, showing CArspbsll,s nunBS
and suppressing the other signAturcs,
was almost rs bad ~ the original paper.
The entire transaction, tho members
say, Il an example OF methods deserve
Ing the condemnation of all parties and
oil good citizens.
Chsitm,n M,sou, In HIS minority
report, does not agre. with these nd
dltlonal findings. He does not see
thai careful scrutiny Of the forged
piper must have shown Its false char.
Acief. IL u easy now 10 know, In
January Of 1891, what ought 10 have
hcn known In 1890. Whether or not
Foraker anl Halstead treated well the
gentlemen outraged by the forgery by
not seeing them personally II n ques.
tin Of elhlcs not involved In the In.
vuugauon, nor does II throw any
Ugh, upon the subject as 10 who ut.
tered the forgery. Being deceived IN
ihe only oticnto Of Halstead and Fora.
trr They have each made n rcputa.
hon aud character equal, perhaps, To
any Of the gentlemen who are out
h;vd uy tue forgery. Since they have
iouni 1hat they wero deceived, they
have done all In their power n- hon
otAblc gentlemen 10 make amends. To
Sk more seems 10 Mr.. Mason an In.
lidlou anti Ia. respectfully protests
against the censure Of his associates ia
We additional findings summarized
above.

important decision revolving the order
o. suspension imposed by Secretary
schun upon 3Ss desert land entries
male IN 1877 Ia tho Vasaila (Califor.
hihl land district, known ns tho Hag-
aud Cover entries. J. u. Haggin's
Individual entry IL concealed because
o. umhef growing thereon, which re.
moves u from the character OF desert
lands. All other entries are remandei
I9t hearing. This effect OF the do
si'lon VIII be TO leave each entry To be
shiosed OF on its own merits. The
nIl involved Is considered very vaiu.
