Mormon Church. that Joseph Smith, r.,

and Tabor
The telegram to Senator Burrows de-
clares as untrue the statement of Presi-

PUBLIC LANDS REPORT
SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS
Commission Recommends Repeal
of the Timber and Stone Act
and Approves of Selling.
HOMESTEAD
ENTRIES

WASHINGTON. March THE commits
sion appointed by the President on October
p. 1903. consisting of w A Richards. com
missioner of the General Land Office, Gift
ford PinchOt, chief forester Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. and F. H. Newell. chief
engineer Of the reclamation service, to make
suggestions regarding revision of laws re-
lating to public lands, has made to the
President a partial report which was sent
to Congress to-day. 1t recommends the
repeal of the timber and stone act and the
substitution of suitable provisions for sell
ing after appraisal, the timber public
lands which is needed in large small
quantities for industrial purposes.
he commission also recommends the re-
peal OF the law permitting assignment of
entries under the desert land law, and urges
the importance of a more careful admins
tration of the law. especially of those pro-
visions relating TO obtaining an adequate
water supply. 1t advocates the restricting
or the communication clause of the home
stead entry where such entries are located
within forestry reserves or where the land
Is chiefly valuable for timber.
1t suggests the outlines for a law permit
ting homestead entries upon agricultural
land within forest reserves and the survey
and description of such agricultural lands
by metes and bounds rather than by the
rectangular system, thus permitting the
agricultural lands to be selected along the
land without taking in extensive tracts of
side hill
The recommendation also is made that
when lands are restored to entry after tenn
porary segregation, ample time should be al
lowed homestead entry men to exercise
their rights giving them the, preference over
persons who may wish to select the land
by the use OF script or other form of entry.

CAPTAIN BIELER OPPOSES
ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL
Advances. Some Novel Ideas
Against Its Passage on
Moral Grounds.
HE OBJECTS TO "SLAVERY"

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March captain ]. L.
Bieler, of Indianapolis, is one of the most
active opponents of the Hepburn olliver'
original packages bill now being considered
by the House committee on judiciary. He
has made two visits TO Washington in the
past month or so to speak against the
measure. Captain Bieler bases his oppoSi-
ton, not on questions of trade or commerce
but on personal liberty. Il stand before
you a citizen of this great Republic by
choice, but L challenge anybody to be a
better American than | am. When Amerl-
cans were needed =! was there to defend.
as my Hoosier friend and poet, James
WhitcOmb Rsley, would say, Old Glory,
the symbol of liberty. | also fought 10
free the blacks. But how time does change!
Here L stand before you after a period or
forty years and plead with you not TO make
the whites slaves. as they would be If you
take away the mental power to govern the
bodily wants. If this bill passes how long
do you suppose it will be before these
gentlemen will come to you TO prohibit the
some of you gentlemen of the committee
enjoy good cigar as well as l do. Captain
Bieler stated that he did not question the
sincerity of the advocates of the Hepburn
Dolliver bill. But if their views prevail,
he said you will introduce into the re-
spective States the deadliest enemies OF
mankind. and they are the cocaine and
morphine habits.
''As long as hops and barley grow" said
Captain Bieler, beer will be made, and if
made, it will be used As long as the
grapevine produces that magnificent clus-
ter, the precious juice will be used in one
form or another. AS long as the corn
grows the Bourbon will not only be used
for hair tonic, but also, my friends on
the opposite side would have it, for medic
inal purposes only"

CHESHIRE AND DAVIDSON
WILL GET EXEQUATURS
Will Be Permitted to Act as United
States Consuls at Mukden
and Antung.

WASHINGTON. March THE Chinese
government has granted the application of
the State Department for exequatur for
Messrs. Cheshire and Davidson as United
States consuls at Mukden and Antung,
respectively. These officers are now at sea
on their way TO the East and they should
reach Shanghai about the end of the first
week in April At this point they will wait
for further instructions from the State De-
partment before proceeding to their posts.
Antung is reported to be garrisoned by a
Russian force and Mukden is believed to
be the Russian headquarters in Manchuria.
In this situation the State Department does
Tot care TO force an issue by insisting upon
the reception of the cOnsuls. Besides IL is
pointed out that there is at present abso-
lutely no trade relations between Mukden
and Antung on the one hand and the
United States on the other; so that there
is no real necessity for the presence of
American consuls at those places just now.
Messrs. Cheshire and Davidson will tarry
at Shanghai for time awaiting the devel-
opments of the campaign.

frayed from appropriations contained in

priation indicated.
