Justifies Action Which Allowed
Clerks in Office to Become IN
terested in Valuable Mineral Leases
---Admits Signing One instrument
Without Looking at Name---Stump-
age Report IS Reviewed More Com
pIetely

The reply of r. c, Dunn, Republican
candidate for governor and former
state auditor, to the charges con-
tanned in the reports of Public Exam
iner S. T. Johnson, published on Fri
day, was given out by Mr.. Dunn last
night.
The statement of Mr.. Dunn is al
most equal in volume to the charges
contained in the reports of Examiner
Johnson's exhaustive investigation of
the state auditors Office, and, while
it was evidently prepared with much
elaboration Of detail, it makes no
specific denial to the most important
point raised by the public examiner,
contained in the part of the Johnson
report relating to mineral leases to
state lands.
Mr.. Dunn admits that he signed the
Mabel Evans lease, perhaps the most
valuable lease ever given by the state
to mineral lands, without looking at
the name contained in the document,
but says that it would have made no
difference II he had, as the public had
the same information as to the char
acter Of the land that his clerks had.
Z The former state auditor says In his
reply that it has been customary for
state house officials to invest in mineral
leases. and he can find nothing in the
land or mineral laws of the state pro-
hibiting the practice He saws:

TO ROB LETTER TOMB.
Plot Reported to Authorities In
Washington


WASHINGTON, D.. c., Sept. 49,
Professional grave robbers have a
plot to rob the tomb of L. q. Letter in
Rock Creek cemetery here. The
scheme was discovered through corre-
spondence from the West received by
Supt. Howell, Of the local cemetery.
The plan, which duplicates several
professional grave robbers, was to re-
move the body of Mr.. Letter from the
cemetery and hold 1t for large ran
som from the Letter estate.
The details of the scheme were com
municated to Supt. Howell, along with
the information that the alleged ghouls
had left Chicago, and cautioning an
extra guard in the vicinity of the
Letter burying ground.
When the dispatch reached him
Supt. Howell merely smiled. The rea-
son was apparent later, when he ex-
planned that the remains of Mr.. Letter
are enclosed in metallic coffin, with
four feet of solid cement beneath it
and on all sides of it. On the top or
the coffin there is layer of cement
eight feet thick, interviewer with rail-
road iron. ALI Of this is surrounded
by fourteen foot plat.
Mr.. Howell said today that the
-would-be robbers had better bring a
carload of dynamite and a few der
ricks along if they have any hope Of
successfully carrying out their alleged
plans

DECLARES EXAMINER Is
IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS

The reply attacks the public exam
iner as being either ignorant Of the
timber business and the laws under
which the state pine is sold to private
parties, or malicious in his attacks on
Dunn. The present state administra-
ton Is also attacked, and Mr.. Dunn
terms the men who. have questioned
his honesty of purpose as Satellites"
He also charges Gov. Van SAINT with
having furnished the Democratic state
central committee with copy of the
johnson reports in advance of the one,
given him, and says that the reports
reached the newspapers and were wide
ly circulated before he had an oppor-
tunity to frame his reply.
State Auditor S. G. Iverson is
brought into tie reply to vouch for
certain statements of detail in the
Johnson report relating to timber
trespass, to which attempted refuta-
ton is made in the reply.
The former state auditor repeats
former statements of the difficulty in
enforcing liability for timber tres
pass, but insists that he always per-
formed his duty with an eye single to
the best interests of the state. He says
he never held private sales of state
pine, and that the books and records
of his Office were constantly open to
the public's inspection.
While the statement of Mr.. Dunn as
to the state mineral leases is not sat

plemented in day or two by a state
ment from George A. Finn, who, ac-

IAGGARI TO Open
CHICAGO QUARTERS
VIII Push Tariff Issue rom
Western Campaign Storm
Center

=
BROOKLYN Sept 1S.-A special to
the Eagle says:
Chicago, Sept 17.-Manye West
ern Democrats are urging upon the
national committee the expediency of
making vigorous Campaign on the
tariff issue in the states of the Middle
West President Roosevelt's utter
anees in defense of the protective
tariff We're drawn from him, to the
knowledge of the Democratic leaders,
by the recent general Democratic
criticism of his personaIity along lines
instigated or approved by Repub-
licans of the Mckinley school. They
We're advanced by the president, ac-
cording to these Democrats, in order
to allay the conceded opposition to
him by the Republican business in
terests of the country, which includes
the manufacturers who enjoy especial
advantages under the Dingley tariff
law.
Having put the president into an at
titude of Enthusiastically vigorous
defense of the Dingley tariff, the Dem
ocrats here now believe that they will
be able to- raise the tariff issue sue
cessfully, and wage promising fights
in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan. In short, the Democratic
leaders believe that they have finally
got the president into the attitude of
Benjamin Harrison when Grover
Cleveland successfully raised the tariff
issue in 1892, taking the electoral vote
of Illinois and Wisconsin out of the
Republican column and reducing the
Republican plurality in Ohio to 1000
votes.
Chicago Western Headquarters
While the exact intention of Chair
man Taggart's visit to Chicago next
Monday has not been announced, 1t is
understood here that he will earnestly
discuss the advisability OF making a
vigorous campaign all through the
Middle West on the tariff issue, with
the leaders here who are determined
to carry the states referred to. In
the same connection the proposition to
open headquarters for the national
committee in the West will be re-
opened, and it is not saying too much
to predict that this action will be
taken. 1t is likely also that the best
Democratic orators of the country
will be sent out from the Western
headquarters to talk tariff as well as
the trusts and militarism and the in
stability of the president. In line with
these propositions Judge Adams A.
Goodrich, one of the Chicago Demo-
Gratis who is especially active in aid Of
the cause in this section, made today

OKU IS FASTENING TO CUT
OFF THE RUSSIAN RETREAT
Sprnng Match Between Japanese and Russians,
the Former Trying to Head Off Such Of
Their Enemies as Have Not Escaped.
MORE FURIOUS FIG lTING WITH THE REAR GUARD

half an hour, the Russian fire opened
all along the line and furious at
tack was delivered by the Russians
which temporarily stopped the Japan
ese advance. The enemy was repulsed,
but repeated the attempt to dislodge
the Japanese vanguard six times, be-
ing repelled in every instance but in'
dieting great damage and sustaining
terrible losses.
After the sixth advance and Its ter
mination, the Russians turned to a
hasty retreat. They left their dead
and several guns behind, but managed
to take with them the greater number
of the latter and ali their wounded.
Their retreat in the first stages, led
down a long incline, which gave the
Russians the advantage of reaching
cover at the foot of the descent while
the Japanese, after collecting their
forces, we're compelled to take up the
pursuit by circuitous route, in or
der to get around the foot of the hills
and to prevent their becoming exposed
to the Russian rearguard fire.
So far the Russian right has been
successful in its retreat, but General
Oku is pressing it hard. The retreat
is being accomplished much more
quickly that was anticipated by the
Japanese and the success Of General
Oku's pursuit will largely depend upon
his ability to reach Flushing and Fu-
ling before the Russians can reach the
south shore Of the Hun river.
News was brought here today Of the
continuance of desultory fighting In
the hills east of the Japanese right,
where four divisions are pursuing
three Russian divisions cut off from
the Russian left main force on We'd
nesday last. General Kuroh has sent
reinforcements in the direction of
these forces. The engagements in the
hills are being fought without the aid
of big guns and both bodies are now
beyond gunshot of either of the main
armies.
