Postal Fraud Records.

House Committee Will Look Into
- Postal Fraud Records.
Washington, Dec. S.-When the.
house convened to-day Mr.. Over
street, chairman of the committee on
postoffices and post roads, reported
the resolution authorizing the commit
tee to request the postmaster general
to furnish the committee with all pa
pers in connection with the recent in
vestigation Of the postoffice depart
ment and announced that the commit
tee, was unanimous in recommending
Its adoption.
Mr.. Overstreet, explaining the pur-
pose of the resolution, said that in
view,of the large appropriation bill be-
fore the committee it should have all
possible information. If there had
been extravag agance in the administra-
ton of the department he said it was
essential that the committee know the
ations to the house. Mr.. Overstreet
said the request of the committee was
foreign to any purposes to inaugurate
Or recommend any general investiga-
tion Of. the postoffice department.
Mr.. Wanger (rep.,. Pa.,) asked if
there was any objection to the papers
coming to the house and being made
public. Mr.. Overstreet replied that he
had no objection to making them pub
lie, except in SO far as such publica-
ton might embarrass the department
of justice in the prosecution Of pend
ing cases. :.
Mr.. Moon (dem., Tenn.,) ranking
minority member of the committee,
said the only purpose Of the resolu-
ton was to supply the committee with
needful information and spoke for the
resolution amid republican applause.
The previous question was ordered
on the resolution by a yea. and nay
vote of 172 to 116.

GORMAN WANTS
AN INVESTIGATION
Senator from Maryland Declares that
the Postal Frauds Should Be In
vestigated Further.
Charges That Men High in Authority
Are Being Protected by Pres
ent Investigation.

Washington, Dec. S.-When the
resolution for the investigation of the
postoftice frauds came up in the SEN
ate to-day, Mr.. GOrmanatook the floor
and strongly opposed theNreference to
a committee of the resolution He
declared that the majority should not
shrink from an investigation. He said
there had been positive assertions that
men who. had: unlawfully; placed ems
ployes on the rolls were to escape.
Mr.. German said fraud and Scorrup-
rtion were admitted and communicated
to the senate by the president. He
said the country was not satisfied with
the investigation, nor was the senate.
Those who had been accused had said
others higher up, were as guilty as
they, while they had been made scape-
goats. Let us have all the facts,
said Mr.. German, "and see if the
president will turn the rascals out
Mr.. Lodge, who made a motion to
refer the resolution, stated that what
Mr., German said only further con-
WINGED him that the resolution should
be- referred. The investigation made
under order of the president, he be-
| lieved, had brought out all the facts. I,
Senator Nelson's Views.
Mr.. Nelson said that it would be
| impolitic to take the evidence out Sot
| the postoffice department now and
make it public. He said that such
! procedure would furnish the defend
ants with the papers in the depart
ment and give them an opportunity to
| make a defense. He contended that
this would be improper while the cases
were pending in the courts.
| Mr.. Tillman claimed that an attempt
| was being made to WhiteWash the
frauds.
| Mr.. Hoar suggested that if the
frauds were as great as claimed, some
| body ought to be- impeached, and such
proceedings should originate in the
| house.
Mr.. Cullom cut short the discussion
on the resolution by insisting that the
| Cuban bill had the right of way. The
resolution went over until tomorrow
and Mr.. Teller began a speech in op-
position to the Cuban measure.

REFoRMERs DISCOURAGED
Repeal of Homestead Law Again
Recommended.
From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
3 Wash

Washlngton
Washington, Dec. President
Roosevelt's message is rather dis
couraging to the enthusiastic advo-
Gates of the repeal of all land laws
save the original homestead law. His
message year ago contained a
sweeping recommendation for repeal,
and it was hoped he would repeat it
now, but he has shifted his ground a,
bit. He has decided that there are
two sides to the question of absolute
repeal. and wants a full investigation
before deciding whether repeal. is the
proper remedy or not.
There is little difference of opinion
among disinterested observers as to
the need for radical amendment of the
land laws and the charges of fraud are
also admitted to be true, to a large
extent, but that repeal is the way to
reach these frauds is not so evident to
the presidents mind as 1t was a year
ago. AS soon as the commission
which he appoints in the message to
investigate the land conditions makes

MILEAGE GAIN
OF 1888 MILES
sTATISICS OF RAILWAY BUILDING
=: FOR YEAR GIVEN OUT.
Advance Sheets of Railroad and Ware
house Commission Report Show
Apparent Gain of s4.0S Miles, but
Error in Last Years Footing Shows
a Much Greater Gain.

During the fiscal year ending June.
80, 1903, the increase in the mileage
of main line railway in Minnesota
was, apparently, but S4.0S miles:
The advance sheets of the annual
report of the state railway and ware
house commission, issued to-day by
Secretary A. c.. Clausen, show that
on June 80 the miles of main track
in the state, not including local trans
fer tracks and union depot tracks,
were 1850 miles, as compared with
1868 the preceding year. But
thru the discovery of an error in the
annual report of 1902, it is found that
the mileage that year was 7,O6S.69
miles, instead of 1868 miles, which
really makes the gain for last year
1888 miles, instead Of S4.02 miles.
The mileage of transfer and term
,inal railways for 1908 is 86.94, which
is the same mileage as that reported
for 1902.
The increase is principally in the
mileage of the Canadian Northern,
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul; Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, Mime
sofa & International, Wisconsin, Min
nesota & Pacific, and the Duluth d
Northern Minnesota railways.
The total gross earnings of the rail-
roads from passengers, freight, ex-
press, mail, baggage, miscellaneous,
ETC., were $6S,061, ,499, and for the
previous year the same were $51,S6S,-
1872, which shows an increase of g.
1913, ,3O7 for the present year. This ap-
parent phenomenal increase in gross
earnings is explained by the fact that
in the year 1902 reports of the Great
Northern, Eastern Minnesota and Will
mar &. Sioux Falls railways to this
commission failed to show Minnesota
earnings on their interstate business.
The total proportion of operating
expenses as reported by the railroad
companies was S32,302,296. For the
previous year the same was $2S, OO7,-
