persons in connection with the public
land frauds IN that state. The telegram
gave the names Of the persons indicted
as Emma L. Watson, Guy Hum and
Norman Williams. The woman il
charged with conspiracy in connection
with the proceedings against Miss
Ware. commissioner Of the United
States district court for Oregon. who al
ready is under Indictment, and Will
liams is charged with forgery in con-
nectiOn with the Nesbitt case. The pro-
ceeding against Hun is forgery, but his
is an Independents case.
Upon being asked if he had anything
to say apropos of the indictments, Sec
rotary Hitchcock replied:
More to Follow.
Nothing except that the ball goes
rolling on. There have been seven in
dictments within a week. and there VIII
still be many more. Our success to
the present time indicates pretty clear
~. 1 think. that our Investigations have
been quite thoroughly conducted.
so far most Of the prosecutions have
been directed against those engaged in
fraudulent proceedings under the TIM
Der and stone act. and It now appears
that many fragrant irregularities have
been discovered in that connection. In
Vulnerable instances Of the invasion Of
public land regulations by people in
large companies have been reported 20
the department from day to day 70 :
the past year or more In many in
stances people have gone TO the Pacific
coast states from the states farther
east to enter lands under the timber
and stone law. The arrival of carloads
at a time have been reported, and
many of the members Of these parties
were women.
Carloads of Them.
"In one or two cases during the vaca-
ton period of last summer entire car
loads of female school teachers, .haiIng
from the middle western states. made
tours to the coast and all entered lands.
In other Instances, entire families of
four or five persons each have come in
from the outside and have made entry
of lands. So FAR as known no evidence
OF fraud has been discovered in these
specified cases, but the officials of the
department contend that in view of the
fact that over $500 is required to COM
plete the acquisition of title under the
timber and stone law. some Of these
entries are at least suspicious.

today against Miss Marie L. Ware. for
mer United States commissioner at Eu-

course of the grand jury's irvestiga-
lions. Who John Doe is the officers
are at this time not prepared TO say,
even if they are in possession Of the
information.
The charge against Mrs. Emma l..
Watson is that of being jointly con-
cernsd with Miss Ware Mckinley and
Puter IN the alleged plot To defraud.
She is indicted as a conspiratOr. and
the evidence considered by the grand
jury Is to the effect that it was she
who appeared in the role Of the pUr-
chaser and bought and paid for in the
sum of 81 each the six hOmesteads pre-
tended to have been taken up and
proved upon by Robert Simpson, James

these cases.
