COLLEGE CLOSED.
Effots Being Made TO Prevent Spread 0
Fever at Lake Forest.

Chicago, March 1s.--Every department
OF Lake Forest college, has been closed
for two weeks to prevent a spread OF
scarlet fever. There are now two cases
of the disease in the college but the per-
sistence with which II has hung on in
the village led TO the adoption OF this
latest measure.
The academy was closed several weeks
ago when the wife OF one OF the members
OF the faculty was taken with tho dis
ease. Ferry hall and the mems school
were kept open and a strict quarantine
over the students maintained while the
town authorities were fighting the epi-
demic.
While the college In closed an effort
will be made 10 stamp out the disease
permanently In the town. The college
will not lose any time by the closing as
the next two weeks will be counted as
the spring vacation.

TO DIVIDE DIOCESE.
Plan Under Discussion for an Important
Change In Jurisdiction Of Episcopal See.

New York. March 16--Announcement
has been made OF plan for the division OF
the Protestant Episcopal diocese OF New
York. which comprises at present the
boroushs' OF Richmond, Manhattan and
the Bronx OF New York city and the
counties OF Westohester, Putnam.
Duchess. Rockland. Orange. Sullivan and
Ulster
The division proposed In tho creation OF
n new Jurisdiction with the borough OF
the Bronx as It's See city and comprising
for the rest OF IL the counties OF West
chester, Putnam and Duchess. The other
Jurisdiction would keep Manhattan as
the See city.
Before such division could be made n is
said that II would be necessary TO change
the general law OF the Episcopal church
forbidding the division OF city.
Another measure New York churchmen
are said to favor Is asking the general
convention to grant permission TO elect
suffragan bishops. This would necsssi-
tate the repeal OF a canon prohibiting
their election.

Benson, a wealthy San Francisco
real estate operator, charged by the
interior department with being the
head of the alleged land frauds ex-
tending over dozen western states
and territories, to which Secretary
Hitchcock referred vigorously and
at length in his annual report, was
arrested here today at the Willard
Hotel by Secret Service Officer
Burns. just as Benson was preparing
to leave for the city of New York.
The charge on which the arrest
was made was bribery. AS soon as
B snson had been apprehended be
was taken before Commits -ioner Tay-
lor. He wished to have the hearing
of his case postponed, and the
date for such hearing was fixed at
D cember 80. He gave bail for his
appearance on that date, when he
will be held for the grand jury.
Numerous arrests, are expected to
follow In short order, and some en-
ployes who may not be arrest d will
be dismissed from the service
The statement was made later
that the secretary was so incensed at
the fagrancy of this alleged ofsnse
that he told the officers to have
Benson arrested at once, although it
had not been planned to apprehend
him at present. Another assertion
of the government officials is that
Benson came. to Washington in an
swer to decoy letters, and with the
intention of bribing people in the
land flee who were in reality en-
ploVed in the secret service.
NJ. Benson. is said to have been
taken entirely by surprise in his ar.
rest. although be has known the
government has been investigating
5he alleg d land frauds. He made
formal plea Of not guilty. The
accused offered bail in $4,000 in
cash, while the government de-
manded bond in the sum of $4,000.
Finslly Commissioner Taylor fixed
the bond at 5000. and Benson was
released to appear December 80,
when a preliminary hearing will
take place.
Mr.. Benson is the senior member
of the real estate firm of Benson &
Hyde, of San Francisco, and, it is
asserted, has defrauded the govern
ment out of at least loo, 900 acres of
land by various schemes since the
passage of the forest reserve act in
1897. That act provides that the
owner of land which is wanted by
the government for forest reserve
shall be allowed to select in place
of It other public land. It Is alleg-
ed Benson obtained advance inform
alton as to the land that would be
wanted by the government for for
est reserves and by means of fraud
ulent entries or by purchase, inn
mense tracts of such lands were OBJ
tafned and afterward exchanged for
valuable public lands.
The information alleges that
frauds were perpetrated as to lands
in Washington, Oregon, California,
Idaoo, Nevada, Utah,
Colorado, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas,
Arizona and New Mexi-
co.
