Hotel Men Warned.

Washington, Dec. 21.-What seems
to be an attempt on the part of the
Chicago hotel managers to raise rates
during the national Republican con-
vention is to be n,pped in the bud by
the national committee. Postmaster
General Payne has telegraphed to Chair
man Hanna in New York that evidence
has come to light indicating that extor-
tionate rstes had been agreed upon by
the Chicago hotelkeepers, and has ex-
pressed the belief that unless assurance
is forthcoming that the regular rates
will be charged that the national CON-
mittee will rescind its action.

is AN IMMENsE PROJECT.
Big Bend Irrigation Discussed o.
Washington.


WASH ington, Dec. 21.-There was a
joint meeting Of the senate and house
irrigation committees Saturday, at
which Congressman Jones was present.
The meeting had been arranged Tor the
purpose of giving Mr.. Newell, chief OF
the reclamation service, an opportunity
to .ive his views in reagrd to irrigation
work and the investigations in the va
rious states.
In Washington investigation is being
made of what is known rs the Big Bend
project, which Mr.. Newell said is the
largest irrigation project in the world.
According to his statement, it would
irrieate between one and two million
acres of land, and that, so far as inves
LEGATIONS have gone, the cost would be
staggering, and can only be compared
with the Panama canal in magnitude.
He said that in the end the land re-.
claimed would be welt worth the cost
of reclamation. He stated it might be
several years before the plan could be
made and it could be determined
whether the project was feasible or not.
Their intention is to investigate the
matter in all its phases. They are in
vestigating project in Okanogan coun-
ty, under which possibly so, 900 or co.
OOO acres of land will be reclaimed.
This project is to consist of canals and
reservoirs. A definite determination,
he said, very likely will be arrived at
by next year.

seattle, Dec. 21.-The Great North
ern and Northern Pacific officials adj.
INIT that conspiracy to rob the two
companies has existed in Seattle for a
period OF four years, and that losses
running into thousands of dollars has
resulted. During that time freight
cars have been robbed of their contents
and the goods consigned to one mer.
chant Rave been sold to another in the
same line of business in the same citv.
Again whole freight car loads OF goods
nave been taken and reshipped To other
points, where the ring is alleged to
nave had fences for the disposition of
tnis stuff. Tons upon tons of merchan-
disc, 1t is charged, have been sent to
Alaska. to California, to Oregon and
interior Western states, sold for what
IL would bring, and the money divided
among those impli ated.
Herman Rheinhart, James c. Graves
and P. j. Flynn, srre ted in this CITY
last week. are the alleged ringleaders
in the conspiracy.
The Northern Pacific railroad, it is
said, is the heaviest loser in freight
shipments. and sums paid by the COM
pany for "lost goods run far into the
thousands. The Great Northern, while
1T has been sufferer from the same
depredations, has not suffered to the
same extent as the Northern Pacific in

Washington, Dec. 21-More import
ant developments in the big land fraud
scheme, for alleged completely in which
John A. Benson. of San Francisco, was
arrested Friday, are expected shortly,
but the utmost secrecy guards the pro-
ceedings. Woodford Harlan, the FORM
or chief of division, and at present a
clerk in the general land Office, who is
accused Of taking brides from Benson,
was not at his desk during the day, it
being explained that he was away on
leave of absence for two or three days.
Secretary Hitch cock declined to discuss
the expected further arrests or to say
what action as to Harlans case is in
contemplation, and when asked why
Harlan had been retained SO long after
the discovery of the alleged offenses,
refused to answer the question. Ben
son has gone to New York.
Secretary Hitchc ok denied the state
ment that the government had lost ap.
proximately $15, 200 900 by the land
frauds, but refused to give any idea of
the total amount involved. Secretary
Hitchcock had taken necessary precau-
tions to secre secrecy as to the facts de-
veloped in the investigation, and the
evidence adduced, so that the plans of
the department. shall be oonfintd %

LEFT BY POPE LEO
LARGE SUM IN CASH TURNED
OVER TO POPE Plus.
Treasure Amounting to Nine Mill
ions Was Entrusted to Cardinal
Nearly Two Millions More Dis
covered in Leo's Apartments.

Rome, Dec. According to the
Tribuna, the Vatican had sudden wealth
poured into its Golfers Friday. For some
time certain sums which were known
to be possessed by Pope Leo were looked
for without result, the search toward
the end becoming somew hat fevrish.
Cardinal Gotti, project of the propa-
ganda, accompanied by Mgr. Marco
Iini, one of the late pope's secretaries,
drove up to the Vatican, and, getting
out hurriedly, began tupging at heavy
object in the carriage. Assistance was
offered. but it was refused, and Cardi-
nal Gotti and Mgr. Marzolni between
them carried the mysterious object to
the apartment of Pope Plus. They were
Immediately admitted, and remained
for two hours.
Intense curiosity was aroused by this
act, and it was believd to have some
relation to the missing wealth, and the
widest rumors were circulated. 1t soon
became known, however, that the bag
contained 100000 francs ($9,000,-
00O) in bank notes.
When Cardinal Gotti ent 'eed the
presence of the pope, he sank to his
knees, and, pointing to his burden,
said:
"Your holiness, the lamented Leo,
just before his detah. confided to me
the money which l now lay at your
feet, sayinS that if succeeded him /
was to use it as 1 thought best, but
that if another took his place was to
turn the money over to him after Pc
rid of four month"; had elapsed. This
1 now do in the presence of Mgr. Mar
zolini, who has been the only other
person to share the secret
The pope was much affected. The
Tribuna goes on to relate that just
about the time this scene was being en-
acted in the papal apartments, an cleo
trician, while removing the hangings
int he late Pope Leo's chamber in or.
der to get at the electric light wires,
found in hole in the wall several bags
which were carelessly tied. These bags,
opened, were found to contain $780,
900 francs ($1, $50, 000.)

others making 1t very rich indeed.
The following is good: After mix

GOOD STORY, BUT UNTRUE
Denial That Money Belonging to
Late Pope Has Been Found.


Rome, Dec. 1.-At the Vatican the
statement of the Tribuna that Cardinal
Gotti, prefect of the propaganda, nad
handed Pope Plus $4,000, 900 in bank
notes, aaid to have been confided to
Cardinal Gotti by the late Pope Leo,
with instructions to turn the money
over to his successor after q period Of
four months had elapsed, was denied.
The Associated Press il authorized to
announce that the present pope, imme-
diately after bis ascension to the throne
received SO, 4OO, 900 az indicated in the
part of the late pope's will which was
not made public. The delivery OF the
money was effected by Cardinals Gotti,
Rampola and Crestoni, Pope Leo's ex-
ecutors, who brought the larger part of
the bonds from the pro paganda. In alb.
solutely denying that any money was
found behind the hangings OF Pope
Leo's bedroom, the abusrdity of the
story is apparent when it is estimated
that 5000, 900 francs in gold would rep
resent over four tons in weight.
The financial condition of the holy
see is somewhat unsatisfactory, and
causes the pope preoccupation. When
the temporal power fell, the salaries of
all the clerks, officers and soldiers who
did not take service under the Italian
government represented great outlay
for years. Recently salaries were dim
irished, but even now the annual ex-
penditures of the Vatican amounts to
abut 81 100000.
Funds Falling on.
It is further denied that Pope Leo
left less money than was found when
he assumed the tiara. At the death of
Pope Plus TX the amount at the dis
posai of the holy see did not amount
to So, 88S, 900. Pope Leo might have
left much more il several enterprises,
undertaken with the object of perma-
nently placing the pontiff in position
in which he would not be dependent
upon the charity of the faithful had
not failed. In addition the contribu-
tions known rs "Peter's pence" which
has been one of the chief resources of
the holy see, have gradually diminish
ed, especially where the Catholics did
not approve of the attitude OF the pap.
acy, as in France.
In Jesuit church here, one o. the
most fas,. ionabls in Rome. it has been
difficult to collect $40 for Peters
pence"
SucL a situation rendered ii necessary
to use the capital OF the holy see, which
il matter of most serious thought on
the part Of Pope Piue, who has ordered
that the strictest economy be observed.
