The House today gave consideration
to legislation affecting the District OF
Columbia.
On motion of Mr.. Powers, the bill ex-
tending the statutes of limitations from
three TO five years in its application to
government officials and clerks was re-
committed to the committee on judiciary.
When the District of Columbia bust
ness was disposed of, the postOflice sup
ply bill was taken up in committee
of the whole.
Mr.. Powers was the first speaker and
he launched Immediately into discus
sion of the "indictment' of Congress in
the Bristow report.
The House, he declared, was right
eously indignant. There was not one
fact in the report, he continued, that
impugned the character of any member
mentioned. The committee, he declared,
that is now investigating this omnibus
indictment will find out the true facts.
If members of Congress have not the
right to 90 10 the executive departments
to see to the interests of their constit-
uents, what right does a Congressman
really have, he asked.

THE GARBLED account of the defeat
of the Machen primary election bill in
the State Senate on Saturday telegraphed
from Richmond to Washington paper,
does Senator Martin and Mr.. Barksdale
great injustice. The account published
in the paper referred to does not agree
at all with the speech that Mr. Banks
dale really made and the intimation that
the bill was defeated through Senator
Martins influence is entirely incorrect.
Senator Martin has said time and time
again that he favored any fair primary
bill that the Legislature chose to pass
end his best friends know that he made
no effort to defeat the Machen bill. As
will be seen by a dispatch from Rich
mOnd in another column Mr.. Barksdale
in the Senate today denied that the OPP
ponents of the bill defeated it on account
OF Senator Martin.

CONGRESSIONAL

There was an echo of the Indianola,
Miss, postofTice case in the Senate on
Saturday, when Mr. McLaurin rose to a
question of personal privilege to explain
a newspaper report to the effect that the
authorities of that place arrest peddlers
of pictures of President Roosevelt and
Booker Washington, who may chance to
90 there. Mr.. McLaurin said that ar
rests of picture vendors had been made
both at Indianola and a neighboring
town, but that the arrests were due to
the fact that their wares were of an i'm
proper and lewd character, and not be-
cause they were selling pictures of the
President and Mr.. Washington The
Senate considered but did not dispose of
the fortifcation appropriation bill. A
number of bills were passed. One of
them has for its purpose the prevention
of the desecration of the American flag
by using it for advertising purposes.

GIGANTIC LAND FRAUDS
Officers UncOVering One InvoIvine
 Thousands of Acres.

Portland, Ore. Nov. 24.-Link bv link the government is forging the chain of evidence by which it is hoped to prove the existence of a conspiracy to de- fraud the United States out of thous- ands of acres of it's public lands.
 United States District Attorney Hall and Assistant United States Attorney General Heney bent their energies to convince the jury by the testiunonv. of A w Barber. clerk in the general land office, that the claims in the now noto- rious "11-7" district. for which home stead patents were issued. were never improved or resided upon by any of the claimants to whom they were awarded and that the issuance of the patents was upon testimony false from begin ming to end.
 Barber was the only witness examin- ed by the government this forenoon The witness testified that he was a practical surveyor and had conducted eXamina tions Of surveys in fifteen diff ferent states Last June he had pro- ceeded to township II south. rance I east, on written instructions to exam inc into conditions there. Four men accompanied him. They went over the territory in question and found an in- accessible forest His instructions were ec N-Aellll4llr a. laSL or lNeuLN-IVO claims as to improvement and residence.
 Mir Barber read a list of the claims examined, among which were the fcl- lowing names Harry C. Barr. Henry Young. Jos. Wilson, Emma Porter. Maud Witt, Geo. w. Pettis. Geo. Graham. Nellie Backus. Zonas K. Wat son, Frank H. Wolgamot. Jos. Wilkins. Christie F. Landham, Albert O. Aus tin, Hattie S. Lowell. Alex. R. Brown. John F. Foster, Wm. Mclaughlin and James A. Taylor. Twelve of these claims. the prosecution contends. were deeded to Emma l.. Watson Among them was that of Emma Porter. who. the government claims. is none other than Mrs. Watson herself.
 Barber's evidence differs in detail from all the sworn testimony given by the alleged homesteaders in making proof. The witness said that he found that the homestead law had not been compiled with in any respect as re- gards residence, improvements and cultivation. The country is mountain ous. there were no roads. no houses. no fences. no fields, no barns. nor any of the other homestead appurtenances.
