SECRETARY HITCHCOCK PREPAR,
ING HIS REPORT ON ORE.
CON LAND FRAUDS.
REFUSES TO DISCUSS ITS CONTENTS
OF DOCUMENT At
PRESENT WOULD DEFEAT
ENDS OF JUSTICE.

Washington, Oct % Secretary
Hitchcock said during the day that the
investigation which he had been max
ing into land frauds on the Pacific
coast had been practically completed
and he hoped to be able to present his
report on them to the department of
justice by the close of the present
week.
"The report will not at present be
made public" he said, "as that would
defeat the ends of justice"
He also refused to discuss the con-
tents of the document, but confirmed
the generally current rumor that there
have been extensive efforts to defraud
the public. He said, however, that
bad as the condition is it had been
grossly exaggerated. ut is absurd, "
he said, "to say that the frauds
amount to S15,OOOOOO or $1S,OOO,O00
CT anything like that sum. A million
;>cres would be a large estimate of
fraudulently entered lands and the
government price for lands ranges
from $1.25 to $3.50 per acre."
The secretary also said that while
the investigation doubtless would in
volve some of the officials of the gov
eminent he had not 1ntimated that
members of the United States senate
are involved in the scandal.

INFECTION OF HUMAN BEINGS
Discussion by American Public Health
Association.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The Ameri-
can Public Health association during
the day further considered the subject
of infection of human beings with
animal tuberculosis and listened to
several papers relating to the collec-
ton and disposal of garbage. In dis
cussing the former subject DR.. Mazyck
P. Ravenel of Philadelphia took up
the question Of tuberculosis bearing
ON its transmission from man to ami
mails and from animals to man as we'll
as accidental incubation. He regret
ted the disinclination of federal and
state authorities to permit criminals
condemned to death to be inoculated
with the tubercula germ in the inter-
ests of science. He said he was sure
man condemned to death would most
fittingly take his chances Of contract
ing tuberculosis as against electrocu-
ton or hanging. He emphatically con-
troverted the common theory that dry
sputum is the underlying cause of tu-
bercular infection and said that there
is absolutely not one whit of evidence
that 1t ever caused a single case OF
tuberculosis in mankind. He produced
numerous statistics showing bovine tu-
bercular infection of human beings
and said that the bovine tubercular
bacillus is extremely more virulent
than that of the human being. He
concluded by strongly urging that ev-
cry precaution should be taken by the
association as sanitarians for the pro-
lection Of the food supply as derived
from cattle. -.....-..... . -:i....-

RUSSIAN GOVERNOR GEN.

TWO UGLY WOUNDS ON THE HEAD

ANTS AND KILL THEM ALL
WITH RIFLE SHOTS.

Ttflis, Russian Transcaucasia. Oct.
2S.--Prince Galitzin, governor general
or Caucasia, had narrow escape from
assassination on the outskirts of the
town. Three natives stabbed the gov
ernor general thrice. They fed but
were subsequently shot down by Co.'S
sacks.
Prince Galitzin was driving with his
wife when the would-be assassins
rushed upon the carriage, daggers in
nand. Two seized the governor gen.
eral and attempted to drag him from
the vehicle, while the third man in
nlcted two ugly wounds on the princes
head and third cut on the hand.
A CosSack who was in attendance
upon the prince threw himself upon
the assailants. While hand-to-hand
fight was in progress the carriage was
driven off at a gallop. Ultimately the
assailants fed, followed by mounted
guard Of Cossacks who had hurried to
the scene.
The Cossacks chased the fugitives
through the brush, firing constantly
with their rifles. They killed one man
instantly. The other two were shot
down and died soon afterward

WANT BIG APPROPRIATIONS.
Many Congressman Opposed to ECO
nomicaI Policy.

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator N. b
Scott of West Virginia is strongly op.
posed to the proposed economical pro
gramme to be pursued by congress &C,
cording to Speaker Cannon and the
administration.
There is nothing in the condition
of the country that would suggest at
this time any curtailment in the neces.
sary expenditures" said Senator Scott.
Much of the talk we hear about cut
ting down the expenses of the govern
ment is apt to mislead people. This
government Is growing and it should
be understood that it's expenses will
grow, too. You might as we'll talk of
using the same amount of cloth for a
suit of clothes for man that was
used on a ten-year-old boy as to talk
of keeping our government expenses
down to level where they we're when
the nation was younger"
Senator Scott is not the only man
who is in complaining mood over
the decision of the Republican lead
ers. Members of congress are sore
and many of them feel like overriding
their leaders. The belief is prevalent
that if they should decide to break out
of harness they can cause the admin
istration much trouble. 1t is agreed
that it will require much diplomacy
and tact, as we'll as probable force, to
keep the agitators for larger appropri-
atoms quiet

SHIP SUBSIDY MEASURE.
Bill Will Not Be Presented at Coming
Session.

Washington, Oct. 29.-On the au-
thority of most prominent Republican
leaders of congress it is expected
there will be no ship subsidy legislation
until after the presidential election.
The strong anti-subsidy faction among
Republicans is believed to be strong
enough by uniting with the Democrats
to prevent the passage of any bill such
as is desired by Senator Hanna and
his associates in the subsidy propo-
ganda.
The anti-subsidy Republicans and
the Democrats, in supporting their op-
position to the Hanna-Frye PROPOSE
ton, point out that the United States
form now only the second nation in
the world so far as merchant marine
is concerned and this has beeen ac-
complished without the aid of sub
sidy. Great Britain is first. The total
tonnage of the United States is now
beyond the 100000 mark, the high
est in it's history.

EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX.
state Board Of Health Guarantees A.
legheny, Pa.

Pittsburg, Oct. 29.-Allegheny was
quarantined during the day to protect
the outside public from smallpox con-
tagion. For several months Allegheny
has had many cases of smallpox, but
the authorities of the city were conf
dent of being able to control the dis
ease without resorting to extreme
measures. DR.. w. R. Bott, quarantine
officer at large of the state board of
health, in due time investigated the
situation and on Oct. 10 notified Su-
perintendent Mclaughlin of the Allie
gheny health bureau that the state
board had decided to quarantine the
city unless within five days the laws
regulating the control Of contagious
diseases were enforced by the Allie
gheny bureau of health.
The time limit expired on Saturday
but because of the appeals of promi-
nent citizens it was extended. Allie
gheny councils, in special meeting on
Monday, failed to take the steps
deemed necessary by the state board,
hence the radical action taken by that
body -. T.

st. Louis Savings Institutions Demand
Withdrawal Notices. Il

St. Louis, Oct. 29.-Long before the
hour of opening lines of depositors
stretched away from the closed doors
of the Mississippi Valley Trust COM
pany, the Lincoln Trust company, the
Mercantile Trust company and the
Missouri Trust company. Small crowds
were assembled before the doors OF
some of the other savings institutions.
Most of those in line were working
people and many of them were women
whose savings were not heavy. Owing
to the action taken by the officials OF
the eight trust companies doing bust
ness in ST. Louis requiring thirty and
sixty day notices of intention to#wfth-
draw funds depositors were not able
to get any money. Il
All they could do was toz.declare
their intention of withdrawing their
deposits at the end of the time taken
advantage of by the companies under
their rules. The trust companies also
decided not to pay certificates of de-
post before maturity.
