BILL FOR RELIEF
OF HoNEsTEADERs ON NJ. & c. R.
 R. LINE.
A Statement of the Case by Congress man Wiley Who is Pushing
 the Matter.

Washington, Dec. 12.-(Special.)- Representative A. A. Wiley has intro- duced the following bill which inter- ests a number of his constituents, en- titled bill for the relief of certain homestead settlers in the State of Ala bama:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House Of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem- bled, That where prior to August 29. anno domini nineteen hundred and four. any person made a homestead entry of lands within the place or indemnity limits of the grant by the Act of Con- gress approved June ,. 1856, Eleventh Statutes, page 1S). to the State of Ala bama to aid in the construction of the railroad known as the Girard and Mo- bile. or Mobile and Girard, having been allowed so to do by the officers of the Land Department. which lands have since been patented by the United States to other persons under the pro- visions of the act of March 8, 1857 (Twenty-fourth Statutes, page 55O) the holder of such patented title is hereby authorized to relinquish the tracts embraced in any such homestead entry to the United States by good and sufficient deed, and on filing the same with the Secretary of the Interior. the party so reilnQulShlng, his heirs or as- signs. shall be entitled to certificates in quantities not less than the smallest legal ub-division. to be issued by the Secretary of the Interior, authorizing him. his heirs or assigns. to enter or select in satisfaction of such certificate. and to receive a patent therefor. any vacant. surveyed, nonmineral public lands subject to entry under any of the homestead- laws at the time of such entry or selection.
 Sec. 2. That upon the filing of such deed of relinquishment in the Land De- partment all right, rrtle, and interest of the aforesaid patentee. his heirs or assigns. under such patent, to the tract or tracts so relinquished shall revert to and vest in the United States. and such lands shall be treated under the laws thereof in the same manner if no rights thereto had ever vested in the railroad grantee. and all qualified persons who made homestead entries of such lands. and have made final proof thereon in good faith, or their assigns, shall be entitled to patents upon the approval
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-12-13

Of such proof by the Land Department, t, ana such other persons as have not yet submitted final proof on homestead en- tries made as aforesaid may do so, and 1 upon approval thereof by the Land De- partment patents shall issue to them Sec. 3. That the Secretary of the Interior shall prescribe rules and reg ulations Tor the administration of this act.
 In explanation of the bill Colonel Wi ley said to The Advertiser representa- tive.
 Recently the Secretary of the Inte- rior. upon third application for a re- hearing. has made a most unjust decis- ion in the matter of certain contests instituted against homesteaders in Gov ington, Escambia. and other counties of my District. Perhaps you are &C., quainted with the facts. One Ed wards. long years ago, falsely repre- sented to the Commissioner of the General Land Office at Washington. that the Mobile and Girard Railroad had been completed from Girard to Mo- bile and, therefore, had earned all the alternate sections, to which it might have become entitled under an act of Congress of June 3, 1S56 granting lands to aid in the construction of rail- roads In Alabama. Edwards ran away. to parts unknown, and the Mobile and Girard Railroad asserted no title or claim to these lands farther south than Troy. After Congress. had passed the forfeiture act, some years ago, reclaim ing these lands. the Secretary of the Interior. under the provisions of that act, threw open the unearned lands to homestead entry. A great many of my constituents. in good faith, accepting thls invitation, homesteaded lands. erecting permanent improvements thereon, etc.
 Now, one Hampton D. Ewing through one Sanford. obtained a quit claim deed to these lands. in contro- versy, from said Edwards and com. menced a contest against these settlers before the Register in the Land Office at Montgomery. It was not denied that Sanford knew all about the fraud. but Ewing swore that he purchased in good faith. The decision having been made adversely to Ewing, he appealed to the Commissioner of the Land Ofice at Washington, who affirmed the ruling of the Land Office at Montgomery. He then appealed to the Secretary of the Interior, who twice affirmed the ruling of the Register in the Montgomery Land office; but upon d third anpIica. ton, some clerk in the Interior Denart- ment, just before the Presidential eIec- tion' granted a re-hearing, and held that Ewing was an innocent purchaser TOT value without notice of fraud that was perpetrated by Edwards and San ford upon the government in the first instance, and practically nullified the act or Congress known as the forfeit ure act, retaining these lands. making them a part of the public domain and throwing them open to homestead set tiers.
 I understand that patents have been issued for these lands to Ewing. and ha Is threatening to dispossess these inno- cent settlers, who paid their money to the government in good faith and who are entitled to be protected against the effect of this outrageous decision.
