MoNTANA's LATCH-STRING OUT
Immis ration Convention Resolves to Invite
HOmeseekers

Helena, Mont, March 1.-THE larg-
in the state closed its labors this even
ing. 1t was the immigration and min
ing convention, called for the purpose
Of effecting a permanent organization
that shall work for the development Of
Montana by securing the immigration
of desirable farmers and enlistment Of
capital in mining enterprises. Every
county was represented. Hon. Walter
Cooper of Bozeman, was made chair
man, and A. H. Barrett of Butte, secre-
tary. For two days there was a series
of papers by specialists from all over
the state setting forth the resources of
their respective sections. Never was
there such a resume of the advantages
of Montana prepared. Emphasis was
laid on the fact that, though there are
thousands of acres of tillable land in
the state, a very large percentage of
the farm products and supplies used IN
the larger cities is imported from other
states. The city of Butte alone sends
outside 100000 annually for butter,
eggs and flour. Scarcely ten per cent
Of the pork products consumed in the
state are produced at home.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that no more inviting field for immi-
grafton exists than Montana The
state has abundance of the finest graz
ing lands and a great number of rich
valleys which will produce crops in
abundance. A permanent bureau will
be organized for the preparation Of au-
thoritative statements Of the resources
of the state and the dissemination Of
literature among farmers and capital

ANTIOPTIoN BILL TABLED
Which Disposes of That Measure for This
Session.

Washington, March 1.-THE house
committee on agriculture today decided
to lay upon the table the anticipation
Hatch) bill. This practically kills the
measure for this congress.
Most of the talkin was done by the
Democratic members and Mr.. Moses
led in the discussion. The Republicans
having already an understanding on
their policy, did not care to do any
thing but vote. Their opponents press
ed them to report the bill to the house,
even if an unfavorable report was TO be
made, so that a vote would be had up
on it. Mr.. Murphy averred that the
Republicans were opposed TO employ
ing the taxing power as a penalty to
prevent any line Of business, whereup-
on Mr.. Moses inquired if they would
unite with the Democrats to repeal the
10 per cent tax on the circulation of
state banks. Another very warm
speech was made by Mr.. KEN, the
Populist member.

CHEROKEE LAND MONOPOLY
Judge Mchennon of the Dawes Counts
Sion Ventilates it in the House.


Sion Ventilates it in the House.
Washington, March 11.-Judge Archi-
hald McKennOn, member of the
Dawes commission, appeared before the
house Indian committee today and told
IF the conditions now existing, calling
FOR a radical change in the manner of
holding lands by members of the five
civilized tribes. 1t had been denied, he
said. that land mOnopolies existed, and
II sustain this charge, made by the
ccnmission, he read a petition signed
by so Cherokee citizens asking rem
edy for the evil. Investigations of the
commission had been blocked by the
legislatures of the tribes. That these
bodies were corrupt, he said, was an I'M
doubted fact, as testified to by numer-
Gus communications which he read. At
present it was impossible for a young
Indian man TO obtain a farm without
paying for it. One person virtually
owned thirty farms, and twenty-three
persons controlled 174,000 acres Of the
best land in the Cherokee nation. This
was in reality the share of over 1000
citizens. Ii would not right the evil to
eject the intruders, for the land would
doe purchased by the monopolists. The
land held by the monOpoliSts should be
taken from them and allotted to Indian
citizens.

San Francisco. March 11.-Dr. c. o.
Brown was the only witness who ap-
peared today before the Congregation
al council, before which he is being
tried on charges of immortality. The
investigation covers a wilde latitude
and at times the questions asked by the
ministers aroused the pastors anger.
He accused the ministers of showing a
disposition TO doubt his statements and
at last became so vexed that ii was nee
essary for his own council to admonish
him that his inquisitors were only per-
forming their duty.
DR.. Browns narrative began with his
trip to Tacoma two years tgo, when
he accompanied Miss Overman. He ad
mitted that ne occupied a berth in the
sleeping car above Miss Overman's, but
said that he did so at the suggestion Of
friends who thought it would be better
for him to occupy the berth than TO
have it assigned to stranger. He de-
MED that anything took place on the
journey that reflected on the character
of either himself or Miss Overman.
The minister was taken TO task by
the council for keeping secrets from his
Mrs. Brown that he had paid $500 to
Mrs. Davidson until three weeks after
the event, and that he failed to tell her
about Mrs. Stockton kissing him until
a month afterwards. He also said
nothing about letter couched in IA
miiiar terms, which was written to him
by Miss Overman. In explanation the
doctor said he kept these things from
his wife because he feared it might I'M
necessarily disturb her peace of mind
He said if he continued to be a minis
ter he knew it would be necessary for
him to meet women Of his congregation
alone, and he did not wish Mrs. Brown
TO be worried.
DR.. Brown denied that he induced
Mrs. Tunnel to accompany Miss Over
man to Tacoma for the purpose of Civ
ing Miss Overman medical treatment.
He admitted that he had sent money to
Mrs Tunnel since she left the city, but
denied that he was instrumental in Sc
curing Mrs. Tunnels departure from
the city in order to prevent her from
appearing as a witness before the coun-
Gil
DR.. Tenny, who conducted the cross
examination for the council. question
ed DR.. Brown very closely as to why
he paid the $500 TO Mrs. Davidson The
minister was asked if he did not know
that the payment of the money was
against the presumtion of innocence.
DR.. Brown said that he paid the money
in order to obtain a receipt which he
considered tangible evidence upon
which to base the prosecution of Mrs.
Davidson, on account of the scandal
such an action would precipitate, but to
have the police compel her to leave the
city He declined to take the advice.
DR.. Brown said that he had evidence
to prove that Mrs. Davidson had tried
to compel a woman in F'ruitvale to i'm
personate Mrs. Baden, the woman
whom Mrs. Davidson says obtained the
money from Brown. The minister said
Mrs. Wellesley told him that Mrs. David
son had tried to induce her TO pose as
Mrs Baden
