THE RAN[|NS BILL

Determined to Force the Adoption

Washington, D. c., Feb. Ex-senator
Rawlins. today, in speaking of the eff
forts TO apply the leasing system to the
| Utah asphaltum lands, said that he
would be very glad if the mineral lands
could be opened without the adoption
of the leasing system, and was himself
strongly opposed to that plan.
But" he added, there seems no
doubt that there is a majority in the
house in favor of leasing, and that the
administration means to do all that is
possible to force the adoption of leas-
ing. If these lands are leased, it means
that they will go to such parties as are
named by the secretary of the interior,
and that they will never be a source of
revenue to the state of Utah My bill
was introduced in the hope that it
might be possible to make the lands
revenue producing for the state, instead
OF foreign syndicateS. 1t is presented
by way of compromise, in case opening
under the mineral land laws is lost.
certainly shall not press the bill as long
as there is hope that we can defeat the
leasing of the lands"

every way to secure for Hoff money with
which TO employ another attorney. Hay
mond also declared that w H Schooler
and r. l.. Simpson, who are associated
with Mcintosh in the defense of Hoff,
know absolutely nothing of the scheme
TO sell the confession.
When Raymond found that there would
be difficulty in disposing of the confess
sion. particularly in thu face of Hoff' S We
hement denials, Attorney Mcintosh was
brought TO the front as the principal in
the affair. 1t should be understood that
Albert Hof has denied to every one not
connected with his case that he ever made
q confession of guilt or intended TO do so.
He expressed his willingness to swear to
an affidavit denouncing any confession as
a forgery and lie He declared time
and again that he da authorized no one
TO act for him in such an affair.
