Important Land RuIt5u.

To nullify attempts of cattle COM
panies and others to obtain public
lands in violation of the law, the sec
retary of the interior has overruled
former decisions of the department,
that widows or minor orphans of sol
diers or sailors do not have to reside
on the land on which they make home
stead entry. The decision, which af
fects large number of cases and
which has an important bearing on the
public land frauds. is made in the case
of Mrs. Anna Bowes, who made an en-
try on land in the Broken Bow dis
trict in Nebraska. Mrs. Bowes
claimed the right of entry as the
widow of a sailor in the Civil War.

make homestead entries with credit

mftted this case was made under an
agreement with the Standard Cattle
Company, whereby Mrs. Bowes at the
time Of the entry leased the land to
the company with a further agree
ment that the company should have
the option of purchase of the land.
The department decides that Mrs.
Bowes is required to maintain resi-
dence on the land and that her agree

When the committee visited the
White House, Chairman Hanna said. as
he took Mr.. Roosevelt's hands:
"Mr. President, l have the honor to
present en- masse the members of the
Republican national committee. In my
experience with this body of men
have found them all true, loyal Re

pies OF the Republican party at all
times"
President Roosevelt replied:
st is a peculiar pleasure to me TO
greet here the nief &c whom not mere

so much in the immediate past, and the

GERMAN CHANCELLOR DEBATES
WITH THE SOCIALIST LEADER

Eerlin Dec. 12.-Chancellor Won Bue-
low and Herr Bebel. the Socialist
leader, engaged in a lively debate in
the Reichstag yesterday. The Mon
archist. who was dressed as for
drawing room, was amused and cheer
full, his luciad sentences falling easily
on the understanding. He disposed of
difficulty with airy word and ges-
ture. The Republican. with quality
Of voice strangely stirring the emo
tions, excited his believers TO enthu-
siasm and his opponents to anger, one
passionate sentence following another
to the climax.
Chancellor Won Buelow. speaking of
the reference made by Herr Schaedler,
Bavarian representative, to the NAL
treatment Of private soldiers by Off
GERS, said:
u am as much incensed by such
brutality and cruelties as you are and
| regard 1t as the sacred duty of the
military authorities to stop them Such
Infamous acts cannot be punished Sc
verely enough, but protect before the
country, as well as before all foreign
countries. against the imputation of
the Social Democrats that such cases
are typical of the conduct of our Off
GERS corps. Such pretense is hy-
pocritical and pharisaical."
He denounced Herr Bebel's unbri-
died criticisms of Russian affairs as
contrary to the traditions, wishes and
interests of the German people,

ton, the chancellor said the govern

same time to provide sufficient money
to complete improvements now under

The plan of the committee provides
for the creation OF funding mortgage

other corporation, to secure an issue

5000, 900, will be used to provide
necessary funds and also in exchange

gage upon all the properties recently
sold by the stockholders.
Stockholders will be asked to author

MUCH INTEREST IN
THE SMOOT CASE

Washington, Dec. 12.-Congres-
sional callers at the White House are
manifesting increased interest in the
case involving the seat of Senator
Smoot of Utah, and the Indications are
now that the contest which it is as
serted is certain to result from the
present agitation, will rival in import
ance and in earnestness the case of
Brigham H. Roberts before the house
OF representative few years ago.
While the president is familiar with
the Developments thus far in the
Smooc case, no effort is being made by
either side to draw him into the con-
troversy. the opinion being general
that it involves a question which the
senate must determine for itself.
That thorough investigation of the
subject will be made by the senate
committee on privileges and elections
now appears to be beyond doubt. BY
those who are pressing the investiga-
ton it is said it will be more compre-
hensive and searching than any SIM
liar inquiry ever held. An effort will
be made to ascertain accurately the at
titude of the Mormon church toward
the government of the United States
and to learn whether or not a member
of that organization is bound by any
pledge or oath, the taking of which is
incompatible with his oath as a SEN
ator of the United States.
1t is believed by some at least of
those who are opposing Senator Smoot
that any effort made to prove he is a
polygamist would result in failure. and
while that point cannot be said to have
been abandoned absolutely, it is quite
certain the opposition will concentrate
its endeavors to prove that the posi-
ton he holds in the Mormon church
is incompatible with the oath of allie
glance he has taken to the United
States. That proof must be ample, in
the opinion of senators, before he can
be unseated.
AS to the ability of the opposition to
Senator Smoot to establish such a
proposition, there is wide divergence
of opinion among the senators, but
there is pretty general agreement
that If it should be established. its re-
suit would be the unseating OF the
Utah senator.

ment would continue its policy, hoping
within decade to institute pensions
for widows and orphans and a system
of giving assistance to unemployed
workmen.
length the Socialist dreams of a social
lied state, Count Won Buelow said:
1t would be the worst luck that
could happen to you Socialists II you
came suddenly into power, for then
your inability to organize productive
industries. your incapacity to conduct
a foreign policy. your complete impo-
tence. would be revealed under Ben
gal fire.
Count Won Buelow pointed out the
impossibility of any realization Of So
cialistic dreams for the overturning OF
the present order OF society, and
added:
THE state will defend itself. Who
is the state? You would find OUT. 4

Incidental to the general investiga-
ton being conducted by the interior
department into the land frauds in the
West. an inquiry is being made of the
records in the general land Office in
Washington by inspectors detailed for
that purpose. Their inquiries are in
connection with charges that employees
of the office have given advance in
formation of lands to be set aside for
forest reservations whereby opportun-
tiles are afforded spectators to take
up lands in the territory to be reserved.
Secretary Hitchcock will not make any
detailed statement as to the scope of
the inquiry to be made. confining him
self to the general statement that an
investigation of the records OF the
local Office along the lines indicated is
under way.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, cham
pion of the Nicaragua route, made a
fierce assault on the Panama treaty
and in that connection again freely
criticised what he denominated pres
idential usurpation." He declared that
the United States is becoming affected
to the core with covetousness, and he
said the country seemed to be quiver-
ing with doubt as to whether it should
go over entirely or pursue the better
course followed by our national faith
ers. So far as he was concerned he
would not be so mean as to yield to
a temptation simply to advance the
commercial interests of his state He
asserted that the United States would
do as it might please with the island
of Cuba, and added: She is now fet-

act. and declared that Panama had mo
