DR.. COTTON IN HIS OLD PARISH.
New Bishop Of Buffalo Returns to Deliver
special blessing From the Pope.

Bishop Charles H. Cotton Of Buffalo re-
turned here yesterday and celebrated
pontif1cal high mass in his old parish church
OF st. Stephens on the feast of its patron
saint The church was filed. The Bishop
was attended by Mgr Edwards, the other
assista nts at the mass being Father honas
F. O'Connor as deacon, the Rev. Joseph
Donohue as sub-deacon q nd Father John
j. McCabe as master Of ceremonies.
Father Wynne s. j., editor Of tho Mes
senger, was the preacher, and referred
inferentially to "Parsifal.'
Contrast the dramatic character Of the
story Of kStephen as narrated in the Acts
Of the Apostles" sa id Father Wynne, with
attempts of modern playwrghts to repro
duce even at the risk Of proclamation certai in
gospel scenes and chara cters, which are 30
sacred that they can only be fttingly COM
memorated In the temple and on affairs
consecrated to divine worship. Those who
witness great spiritual drama In its proper
setting go away from the scene with hearts
inspired with heroic sentiments very differ
ent from the cynical and libidinous disposi-
ton to which the modern playwright
caters"
He also appee led to "the Catholics in a
city where there are so many hundreds of
thousands Of Jews" to be as broad minded
and concilatory in dealing with them as
the Apostles in Stephens time were in
reconciling the differences Of the Jews
then. "Never admit here in this land of
liberty said he, "such a spirit as now
unfortunately obtains in Paris, where So
called Chrslia LIS are employing the theatre
to foment racial animosity"
At the close of the mass Bishop Cotton
spoke a few words of Christmas greeting
to his old parishoners nd bestowed upon
them in the name Of Pope Plus X. special
blessing. The Bishops brother, Thomas
Cotton, had private audience with the
Pope on Christmas morning at which the
Pope sent his special benediction TO Bishop
Cotton, the members of his family, to the
Bishops former parish In this city nd his
present diocese at Buffalo.
A dinner to the Bishop was given in the
parochiel residence, at which about thirty
prominent priests were present. In the
afternoon Bishop Cotton celebra ted solemn
pontitical vespers in st. Stephens. He
will return to Buffalo this NOR orning.

Says One of Its Members.

James Beggs, an eA-presdent of the
American Federation of Musicians, now
in the Musical Mutual Protective Union

of Herr Conried's expressed determination

"We'll wait till something happens, y
he said. "and | don't think anything will
happen He can't be serious or likely he
said more than he meant.
Beggs said that if a man left the opera
orchestra for q few minutes to play Oh the
stage he was entitled under the union rules

ticuar case mentioned by Mr.. Conried in
which the men each demanded IS extra.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF LAND OFFICE
Fraudulent Entries Thought to
Have Decreased.
ILLEGAL FENCES REMOVED
STRONG PLEA FOR MORE SPE-
CIAL AGENTS.

Washington, Nov. THE annual re-
port Of ". A. Richards, commissioner
OF the general land Office, which was
made public today, says in the past
year there was a large decrease in the
number of supposedly fraudulent land
entries over the preceding year. He
attributes their decrease largely to an
order of the secretary of the interior
dated Nov. l., 1902, directing the in
vestigation of all entries made in the
states of California. Oregon and
Washington. Under this order alone
10000 entries have been suspended and
there are now fifteen special agents OF
the land Office in that region engaged
IN ferreting out the fraudulent en-
tries.
Commissioner Richards also states
that during the year there were re-
ported 125 unlawful enclosures of pub
lie land, covering an area of 2.605,S90
acres. Seventy-nine Of these enclos-
Ures have been removed. and proceed
ings are pending TO compel the removal
Of the remaining number. He says,
however, that the total number here
mentioned is only a fraction of the
enclosures maintained in violation OF
the law. the special agents having
found it impossible 20 give attention to
many others because Of the order for
a special investigation of the entries
under the timber and stone act.

Privileges Abused.

Complaint is made Of the operation
! of the act of March IL 1902, to facilI-
| tate entries Referring to this law,
the commissioner says:
THE privileges gained by the act
have been greatly abused, particularly
by United States commissioners. who
have often been parties to wholesale
frauds in connection with the entries.
Afidavits and entry papers have been
prepared in the names Of fictitious per-
sons, and a number Of other ways
have been devised to assist parties to
evade compliance with the require
ments of the law"
The report makes a strong plea for a
larger force Of special agents. saying:
Complaints come to this Office from
every section Of the country Of fragrant
violations Of the various laws relating
TO the public lands. Thousands of en-
I tries are being made for speculative
purposes. with scarcely any attempt at
compliance with the legal requirements,
vast areas are unlaWfully enclosed to
the exclusion Of actual settlers, and
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth Of public timber is being taken
unlaWfully. To put "a stop to these
practices, and so to preserve the re-
naming public lands for the home
builder. large field force ts absolutely
necessary Tt win be remembered that
the public domain covers about one
half of the entire country. The apprO-
priation for the past year allowed the
employment of only about fifty agents.
and their duties consisted in not only
investigating and reporting on alleged
fraudulent entries. timber depredatiOns
and unlawful enclosures. but in doing
a large part Of the supplementary
work necessary to establish violations
Of law discovered by Them

- IND Selections.

Speaking Of the forest lien land Sc
lectioue. the commissioner says there
were 1904 of them pending on the Isl
Of last July and they involved an APP
Eroximate area of 1,263.136 acres. He
recommends a change in the law per
hitting the exchange Of land within
the reservation for Enpatented land
on the outside. saying:
In the exchange Of land within q
forest reserve for other public land II
frequently occurs that land from which
the timber has been cut is exchanged
for land having timber. This is mani
testify unfair 10 the government, but
cannot be prevented under the law
While it is considered 90 be imprac-
ticable to require that one land o.
ike value shall be taken in fJr land in
a reserve, il might be provided that
timber land should not be selected IN
lieu of such land. just as mineral land
is now excepted from such selection.
1Ir- Richards also recommends the
transfer Of the control OF the forest
reserves to the department Of agricul-
ture. There are at present fifty three
reserves, covering an area of 81, SOS, 965
acres. The report CONTINUES:
1T is q matter of first Importance
that these reserves thus far established
should be supplemented by such ad
ditional ones as are needed to form q
comprehensive reserve, such as viii
insure full protection to the water
and timber supplies of both the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast regions.
AS yet neither Of the two 5Teat ranges
Of these two regions has a sufficient
chain Of timber protecting it's entire
length, nor has the matter OF reservinE
as many sources OF water supply as
may be needed in connection with the
irrigation movement been fully deter
mined"
Increase in Business.
The report notes a marked increase
in the business over 1902, the total re-
ceipts being $11,124.423 an increase OF
S4,732, S16. This increase over 1902 IA
greater, It is stated than the total re-
Ceipts for the year 1888 The total
area Of public lands appropriated dur
ing the year was 221.S 1924. 299 acres. an
increase Of 3,335,754 acres over the pre-
ceding year. About half this area en-
tered was entered under the home
stead law.
The Office is about twelve months be-
hind with its work, and-the commits
sioner recommends an increase in force.
He also says: THE large increase in
The last two years i'm original home
steads and the great activity in ali
kinds of land matters throughout the
west. as indicated by the reports OF
the various land offices, show THAI
there VIII probably be a larger amount
Of work coming TO this Office than the
