Chicago, Nov. 27.-Mlnnesota and
Michigan have tied for the western
championship with Minnesota having
a. shade the best of it, This is the
trend Of the discus~~n now being en-
gagged in among the Chicago news
papers and football experts.
The Tribune, Inter Ocean, Chroni-
Gle, Examiner, and all the afternoon
newspapers show extreme reserve IN
their comments, but in each 1t IS ad-
mitted that Mfnnesota's record is IN all
respects equal to Michigan and that
Minnesota had a degree the best of
the contest at Minneapolis. 1t is
generally conceded that in the game at
Minneapolis. Minnesota's team gained
more ground than Michigan's and that
three touchdowns against Wisconsin
show more strength than Michigan's
one touchdown and two field goals.
The Record Herald to-day states;
Michigan and Minnesota are left In
class above all other western teams as
result of yesterdays games, but the elu-
sive championship is sure to be dis
puted between the two leaders.
AS both teams have broken training ard
Coach Yost has already gone east. there
is little chance that a post season con-
test will be played, and in consequence
the question of superiority will be left
for long winter discussions to settle.

nlshed by Wisconsin.

and two field goals; while Minnesota
made II points on three touchdowns, from
two Of which goals were kicked The fact
that Chicago, which defeated Wisconsin
Is to on three field goals, was defeated
by Michigan % to O. furnishes another
chance for speculation.
In an interview published here to-
day Coach Williams states:a
$50 far as comparisons go 1t seems
to me that three touchdowns against
Wisconsin on Wisconsin's own field
certainly entities Minnesota to be
placed above Michigan, as they only
made one touchdown and two goals
from the field on their own grounds at
Ann Arbor against Wisconsin,
Coach Yost, on the other hand, says
that the long trip of the Michigan
team to Minneapolis and the early
date should be considered in connec-
ton with the Minneapolis tie. He
thinks that the Michigan team did not
show it's true strength until the
Thanksgiving Day struggle with Chi
cago.
'The whole seasons work should be
considered in deciding the ranking of
the teams" said Yost last night be-
fore leaving for Philadelphia, land it
strikes me that Michigan's showing is
fully as god as that of Minnesota. The
fact that Minnesota met Wisconsin
after the badgers had just been thru
three hards games should not be over
looked. And the point that Chicago
which won from Wisconsin by within
two points of Minnesota's score, has
been DEBATED by us % to 0, is signifi-
cant. However, do not care to make
any elaborate claims, but prefer to
let the public judge for ITSELF"

Police Line Route.
The police arrangements for the
protection Of the president and the re-
straint Of the large crowd were very
efficient, more than 500 patrolmen be-
ing on duty about the block in which
the church is located. Opposite the
church, there was a solid lin eof pa

entire block patrolmen were placed at
frequent intervals.
President Enters Church.
The president, with Mrs. Roosevelt,
alighted at the main entrance and
went quickly into the church. The
crowd was so dense that ingress or
egress on the avenue was practically
impossible.
Intruder Arrested.
Just as the services were con-
Guided, man who attempted to force
his way to the president and hand
him a letter was arrested. He gave
his name as Arthur P. Deming, IS
years old, Of Jersey fCty.
When the president left his seat to
leave the church he departed by a
side entrance, leading to Twentieth
street. Dening had in some way
been allowed to gain access to small
ante-room, and In that manner was
directly in the presidents pathway.
He held out a letter which the pres
ident took and handed to a secret serv-
Ice man. Dening was then placed
under arrest. He said he had a cure
for cancer which he wished the EN-
peror William to try, and that he

Mr.. Williams saw no reason why the

What the Bill Does.
s The Hansbrough bill is said to pro-
vide for three things, namely:
For repeating the timber and stone
act and putting something in its place
by providing for the sale Of timber
to the highest bidder.
For prohibiting lieu selection entry
men from taking timbered lands I'M
der their homestead rights. This en-
titles them only to agricultural land.
For; preventing the laying Of scrip
on timbered land.
If the bill provides for these things
it would meet with the disapprovai Of
the land and scrip syndicates, inde-
pendently of Mr.. MAXWELL.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-A furious bat
tie between a squad Of detectives and
three bandits. was fought on the snow
covered prairie near Miller, Ind, to-
day. It terminated in the escape, at
least temporarily, Of the fugitives.
Two detectives were wounded and
brakeman, who was defending his
train, on which the bandits escaped,
was killed.
The fugittves, Harvey vandine,
Emil Roeski, were located in q dugout
about two miles from Miller. The
bandits evidently selected the spot as
fittest for strong defense.
Fired on Detectives.
The detectives. having tracked
them thru the snow, were fired upon
as they approached and in a battle
following two Of them fell, one with
mortal wound.
The police took shelter behind a
railroad embankment and the firing
became general.
A train having been tagged to re-
move the wounded to Chicago some
of the detectives withdrew to place
the injured men aboard. This oppor-
tunity was seized upon by the fugi-
tives, who ran from the dugout and
boarded Pennsylvania freight train
at East Tolleston, Ind.

American exporters lecture in to-day's

THE irrigation interests, friendly to
George H. Maxwell, executive chair
man Of the National Irrigation .asso-
citation.
The senator has been from the begin
ming opposed to the repeal of the des-
ert land. timber and stone act, and
the Communication feature of the home
stead laws, unless something could be
enacted in their stead. He recognizes
that the present laws are inadequate.
and that under them gross wrongs
have been committed. Something Of
this has been due to improper admin
istration, but the laws themselves are
defective.
Instead Of consenting to straight
repeal, Mr.. Hansbrough has intro
duced bill to cure the defects COM
planned of, and at the same time pro-
tect the government and settlers If
his bill will not do these things, and if
it Is drawn in other interests, those
facts will come out long before the
bill reaches q vote in the house. But
Mr.. Maxwell and his associates use
such extravagant language that some
disinterested statement of the case
seems necessary at this time.
The Maxwell Charges.
In an article furnished to the Wash
ington correspondents by the Maxwell
bureau in this city, it is claimed that
the Hansbrough bill, in addition to
changing existing laws, will have a
disastrous effect upon the irrigation
making features and leaving it a con-
venient tool for grasping spectators
and cattlemen."
The article further says that the
bill will turn over the lands Of the
people to corporations and land grab
bers," and that "monstrous wrongs
would follow it's enactment
Mr.. Maxwell himself says that the
failure of the bill to repeal entirely ex-
listing laws ais innocent enough in ap-
pearance until considered in connec-
ton with the irrigation law
And he adds: eff congress passes a
straight repeal bill. it can do SO with
out any such nonstrous b1unders az
would result from the enactment OF
| the Hansbrough amendment"
| There is now no question that there
| is to be a fierce contest over changing
or repeating the land laws and that
the Hansbrough bill will be the chief
Epoint Of attack. Hansbrough claims
his bill is all right, and proposes seri-
ously to meet the public demand fol-
the better protection Of the public do
main from land grabbers and specula-
tors. His opponents claim that his
bill is drawn in the interest of cattle
men and similar interests.
Maxwell and Syndicates.
It is probable that before the las,
i word has been spoken Mr.. Maxwell
will also come In for some criticism
1 The claim is made that he is close to
two syndicates that have established
bureaus in washington to work for 9
straight repeal of the laws In ques.
/ ton. These syndicates are far from
! being disinterested, and since they
stand for precisely what Mr.. Maxwell
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-11-27

wants, the northwest, 1t Is claimed,
ought to reserve it's judgment and
leave congress to make such inquiries
as will determine which side is right.
One of the syndicates holds vast
tracts Of land bought from western
land grant railways. The other is
the owner of large quantities of scrip.
If the present laws are repealed and
nothing put in their places, it is
claimed these land gcrip people
would be very happy. Such a condi-
ton would make land scarce by
ment's extensive holdings, and nat
urally would raise it's price. The
scrip people would rejoice in the
knowledge that they would still be
able to locate on this government
land, however, and that nobody else
would.
Mr.. Maxwell claims to be disinter-
ested and he probably is. But the
syndicates are demanding the abso-
lutte repeal of these laws, with moth
ing to take their place, and Maxwell
demands the same thing. Concedfng
Mr.. Maxwell entire honesty Of pur-
pose, it still remains that his demand.

he replied as follows:

cation OF lieu land, forestry selection
