BIG COLONIZATION SCHEME
Plan of S'the National Irrigation Committee.
Homes for the Destitute


CHIAGO. April 1l.-William Il. Smythe
chairman of the National Irrigation COM
mittee. offered 5000, 600 acres of land in
Utah, Montana and Washington for sale
at $3.50 an acre on cash or mortgage
payments from the platform of tie First
Methodist church last night. The offer
was made on the authority of congress
and the governors of states in the terri
tory named and in the interest of colo
nization scheme which Mr.. Smythe is
promoting. There were no purchasers in
the audience OF 500. but the meeting
aroused an enthusiasm which, it is hoped
may result in the securing of lands and
homes for some seventy destitute families
in Pullman and more from the city to
make up good sized emigrant colony.
The meeting was called by the Home
seekers association. composed largely
of clergymen of the city, but the audience
showed that the labor element was
greatly interested.
Mr.. Smythe is in the city for the pur-
pose of forming local colony to join the
new Plymouth colony. now forming in
Boston under the leadership of Edward
Everett Hale, and also in New York,
which is expected to move west in Au-
gust to take up and irrigate lands in Utah
offered by the state. government. Collat-
eral to this colonial club are to be formed
for the purpose of securing information
on the subject of western settlement for
those who desire to emigrate. The whole
NOV ment has been instituted as a solu-
tion to the problem of relieving the in.
creasing congestion of population in large
cities.
The Rev. John Rusk, pastor of the Full
ierton Avenue Presbyterian church, Sec
retary of the Homeseekers' Association,
presided and introduced Mr.. Smythe.

WAS A BAD CRASH.

Clarke Creditors May Not Get Over 90
Cents on tho Dollar.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 1.-The rumored
and indefinite charges against Fred b.
Clarke, junior partner Of the insolvent
lumber firm of N. P. Clarke & Co., are
more sensational than the creditors at
first supposed. The creditors were not
prepared for the discoveries made when
the books were examined. In the past
seven years Fred Clarke is said to have
drawn from the firms account no less a
sum than 1915, 900 charged to personal
expenses. He has made no explanation
and has persistently refused to answer
any questions, except to deny that he
has been gambling in stocks. He has
no personal assets, so far as known, ex-
cept life insurance policy for $150, 900,
which he has not mentioned to the
creditors.
1t will not be known for days, per-
haps weeks, just what per cent of the
liabilities the wrecked company will
pay. 1t is not likely that more than Is
cents GU the dollar will be realized, and
perhaps very little over so per cent.

the latter place failed to find him,
however. Then word was received
that he was still in Chicago, and he
was discovered at the Leland hotel. A
man was sent to Springfield for requisi-

turned, Benedict was placed under ar
rest and Immediately taken aboard the
