ANTI.LAND FRAUD
CAMPAIGN GOES ON
Arrest and Fresh indictments
Punctuate Proceedings
In Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 17.-As
result of the investigation Of the al
legged wholesale public land frauds in
many Western states the grand jury Of
the District of Columbia today report
ed a joint indictment for conspiracy
against John A. Benson, a wealthy
real estate operator Of San Francisco;
Frederick A. Hyde, of San Francisco,
closely identified with Benson in land
affairs; Henry G. Dimond, of Cali
fornia, an attorney representing Ben
son and Hyde, and Joost H. Schnei-
der, Of Tucson, Ariz, an agent Of Ben
son and Hyde.
Bench warrants Immediately were
issued and Schneider was arrested in
this city late this afternoon by Secret
Service Agent William j. Burns, who
has been Investigating alleged public
land frauds in Western states.
Schneider was taken before Justice
Barnard and the latter fixed his bail at
$4,000. Attorneys Cole and Donald
son. representing the defendants, asked
that bail be fixed at $1,000, while the
government insisted on a $4,000 bond.
Schneider has been a witness before
the grand jury In the cases against the
other defendants. Benson already had
been indicted here on a charge Of brib-
cry and is now believed to be in New
York, while Hyde is thought to be in
San Francisco.
The indictment sets forth transact
tons by which land is alleged to have
been fraudulently acquired from the
government In California, Oregon,
Washington, Nevada and elsewhere.
Most Of these transactions are al
legged to have occurred under the lieu
land law. 1t is charged that all Of
the indicted parties on Dec. 80, 1901,
in this city conspired with other par
ties to the grand jury unknown to
defraud the United States out Of the
possession Of and title to numerous
large tracts of public lands Of the
United States open and to be opened
to selection in lieu of lands included
or to be included within forest re-
serves in various states, the con-
splracy being carried out by means of
false and fraudulent practices"
How It Was Worked.
The scheme alleged was to obtain
school or other lands by applications,
assignments and purchases In the
names Of fictitious persons or Of per-
sons not really desiring or qualified
to purchase them, Hyde and Benson
paying them small sums for the lands.
The indictment charges that there were
false representations in all these
transactions and that the publications,
supported by the indicted parties, were
forged, false and fraudulent.
In pursuance Of this alleged con-
spiracy thus carried through by dunn
my applicants, certain unsurveyed
tracts In the Olympia wash land
district, containing 3,400 acres, select
ed in the name of G. w. Clarke, Freder-
ick A. Hyde and John A. Benson, were
obtained and other lands specifically
cited were secured, including large tracts
in the Visalia (Cal) and Vancouver
land districts in Washington, in the
Woodward land district in Oklahoma
