WASTE OF THE RICH. f
Novel Plan to Use 1t in Feeding and

Randolph Guggenheimer, president

Out plan to use the waste of the rich
to feed and clothe the poor. He intends
to have the following resolutions intro
duced in the New York city council:
"Resolved, Ehat the president Of the
council be authorized. to confer with
the heads of the administrativ tive depart
ments OF the city government for the
purpose of devising for~the municipal
authorities an organized system Of col
lection from, voluntary contributors,
and distributing among our worthy
poor dona tons of food, provisio ons and
clothing" a~ : ....=5= .s. -. :
Commenting on the matter he said:
ALTHOUGH I have not yet moved in
the matter, have not lost the great
interest which feel in the proposal of
Mrs. Samuel G.. Miller and Mrs: John W.
Mcdonald to relieve the destitution Of
the poor BY collecting the scraps and
remnants which are usually left over
from the tables of the rich. In, this
way the large quantities Of meat and
bread, in fact, of ables Of every de-.
scrlptlon. generally thrown into the
garbage cans, will be saved FOR the
practical purpose Of philanthropic
work. -

to learn. The Bureau OF Agriculture and
State Department Of Agriculture had
aided greatly. The handling OF fruits
must be considered. Markets were not
satisfactory. Something was wrong
There was a plethora OF money, but
prices were not right. The remedy lay In
cooperation. Transportation was an
other subject TO be considered. Railroad
rates were one degree below prohibition.
Some plan must be devised 10 do away
with cold storage and cooperation must
be resorted 10 to bring down rates. But
little could be expected from the Mica

CHECKS LAND FRAUDS
IN THE OIL DISTRICTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Representa-
tive Needham to-day called on the Com
missioner OF the Land Office 10 more ef-
fectually stop alleged frauds In getting
titles TO oil lands in San Joaquin Valley.
in addition TO the order heretofore made
Withdrawing from entry lands which have
been described in letters and telegrams.
Mr.. Needham succeeded I'm getting the
department 10 issue another order requir-
ing the locators OF these lands. who are
attempting to get title thereto with forest
reserve script, 20 publish notice Of their
location ia the nearest newspaper, and
also requiring such lOcators 10 affirmas
lively prove that lands so taken are ag-
ricultural in their character, and not min
eral. The department will hold that this
order is retroactive. This order will place
the burden upon the script men OF prov
ing that these lands are agricultural
rather than mineral, and under this order
this must be done after the publishing
OF the notice.
Mr.. Needham contends that this order
and the holding OF II TO be retroactive
effectually puts a stop 10 these alleged
frauds, and he feels greatly elated. The
land lawyers here in Washington who
represent script men are violently pro-
testing, but Mr.. Needham feels assured
that the order will not be revoked.
