DISCUSS LAND FRAUDS.
PRESIDENTS VISITORS.
Senator Fulton Declares Senator
Mitchell Innocent.
IrRon TIE rRrnuxE nuRrAu.l

Washington. Jan 4.-President Roosevelt to-
day discussed land fraud developments with
Senators Fulton. Of Oregon. and Hepburn. OF
Idaho, and Secretary Hitchcock. Senator Full
ton. after his talk with the President, defended
his colleague. Senator Mitchell. Senator
Mitchell" he said. lis as innocent Of sny base
or criminal connection with the land frauds in
our state as any in Oregon. Senator
Mitchell has been identified with the great in
terests Of our State for nearly a quarter of
a century. He has worked ably insistently and
honorably TO advance those interests To-day
he is a poor man. living in couple Of little
rooms here a side street. I am quite posi-
tive that his innocence Of the charges against
him VIII be demonstrated satisfactorily TO all
the world"
Senator Hepburn said that certain persons in
his State were attempting TO drag him into the
scandals II know who they are" he said
and they had better be careful how they start
rumors derogatory 10 my character. l always
choose my battle-ground, and when ] so into
a fight, go in 10 win. More than a year ago
called attention the floor Of the Senate. to
the existing frauds in Idaho, and demanded
that q stop be put to the Illegal practices. I
stood ready then to ferret out the rascals. and
stand ready TO do so now"
To provide additional safeguard against
trauos. the General Land Office IS seeking so far
as possible, to have its special agents investi-
gate every land entry case before it passes TO
patent. This policy, which already is in full
practice. has borne good results. and patents
have been withheld wherever the slightest
ground for suspicion has been found. The pub
lie land service was not long ago divided into
zine inspection districts with an agent in charge
OF each
In connection with the recent land fraud de-
Velopments, some interest attaches TO the in
Vestgation Of alleged fraudulent desert land
entries in Montana on which special agents have
been engaged. Senator Gibson, Of that State
many months ago sent two letters to the Com
missioner of the General Land Office. forwarding
complaints of citizens that there were frauds in
this class OF entries. The subject was taken up
and desert land entries since then have been
Tigidly investigated. The complaints were that
the lands entered were not taken in good faith
were not being irrigated and were not entered
Tor cultivation purposes, as requIed by law. 1t
was said at the General Land Office to-day that
the complaints were more general than specific
but that cases Of this sort have been under in
vestigafion in Montana and other States for
some months.
There were no new developments here to-day
In ths Oregon land fraud cases, and the work
OF the grand jury at Portland, which is to meet
again tomorrow. is awaited with considerable
interest.

TO CHECK PUSHCARTS
Mayor WW Choose a Special Com
mission to 4Ct.

The suppression, or at least the stringent regu-
lation, OF pushcarts in the streets of this CITY
will be Of the first municipal problems
which Mayor Mcclellan and his commissioners
will take up this year. The Tribune learned
yesterday from authoritative source that the
Mayor is about to appoint special commission
to wrestle with the pushcart question
One member of this commission, it is said will
be from the East Side Civic Club, which has
rooms in Grand-st. where several of the city
commissioners met citizens of the East Side
and members Of the Pushcart Pedlers Associa-
tion a few months ago for an open discussion
of the subject 1t is likely that a well known
member Of the Citizens Union will be asked to
serve. The other members have not yet been
decided on 1t is planned, according to The
Tribune's informant. to have at least three OF
the city commissioners as ex ofI1cio members of
the commission. The department heads likely
to be called on are DR.. Darlington, of the De-
partment Of Health; DR.. John McGraw Wood
bury, of the Department of Street Cleaning. and
William McAdoo, Of the Police Department The
first two named have made a special study OF
the pushcart problem from the standpoint of
public health and city cleanness.
OF the several solutions offered in the past the
plan of establishing markets in various parts of
the city seems to meet the most favor in official
circles The Street Cleaning Department ex-
perimented with this plan last summer utiliz-
ing the space under the williamsburg Bridge
as market places. The fish market was a sue
cess from the start. The vegetable and fruit
market failed because there was no city ordL-
nance forcing all of the pedlers to go into the
market. Said "A well known official yesterday:
Until market lots have been provided in vari-
Gus parts OF the city. cannot hope to cope
successfully with the push cart problem. II
will cost the city considerable sum to csn-
denim the necessary property. raise buildings
and put the markets IN shape. There can he
no hope of any direct revenue. The citys reward
will come in better general health conditions
and streets free for trafHc from curb 10 curb
when the markets have been provided we
must have ordinance prohibiting the push-
carts from using the public streets. All manner
of regulations may be provided but nothing
short OF keeping the carts off the streets entirely
will suffice. The pushcart men laugh at the reg
ulations the cty's law books and il
would take the entire strength Of the police
force to make them fully effective
1t has been suggested that Police Commits
soner McAdoo has the power 10 regulate the
absolute control over traffic. The vast Improve
ment in traffic regulation has brought much
praise TO the department, but il is doubtful IL
the pushcafts could be easily handled IL
may be tried. however, as an expedient while

MIR. HAY ON ZIONIST MOVEMENT.
Sees No Objection to Colonization of East
Africa by American Jews.

Washington. Jan. 4.-Colonization of East Africa
by American Jews in the opinion of Secretary Hay
will reflect no discredit the Americanism pa
triotsm of the coonists. The attention of the SEQ
retary was recently called. in a conversation with
Israel Zangwill, TO the movement in which the IN
ternational Society of Zionsts is interested, looking
the formation of Jewish colony in East Africa.
Mr.. ZaEgwil pointed out that some of the wealthy
Jews in this country have hesitated about joining
the movement fearing that their afilia1ion with it
might discredit the genuineness of their American
citizenship and patriotism. Mr.. Hay gave Mr. ZanS
will permission to make public his personal opinion
that participation in the Zionist movement could not
in the faintest degree dscredt the loyalty of Amer
lean Jews.
The society of which Mr.. ZangwiIl is a member
is undertaking the problem OF caring for between
60 600 and 70,OO0 possible immigrants a year from
this country and Europe TO East Africa.

THE POST DISCOVERY.
A Revelation In Human Food.

Previous to the discovery of the Post process
OF changing the starchy part of Wheat and Bar
ley into a form Of sugar, many people suffered
from what is known as starch Indigestion
That was shown by gas and all sorts OF stom-
sch and bowel trouble sometimes ending in
appendicitis) brought on By the undigested
starch in wheat, oats. white bread cake pud-
dings. etc. etc.
Nature ultimately punishes any one who con-
tinually takes some medicine or drug TO smooth
over or nullify bad conditions OF the body The
only safe way TO cure such is to correct or re-
move the cause. Therefore, IL was plain to Mr..
Post, IN working out his discovery. that people
who show some weakness in digesring- the
starchy part Of food. (Which IS much the largest
part Of all we eao must be helped by having the
starch digested or transformed before being
eaten. And Of course the safest and truesf
way TO DO this would be 10 initiate nature and
avoid all chemicals or outside and unnatural
things. The body digests the starchy food by
the following process: first IL is mixed With the
moisture or juices OF the mouth and stomach

Sodom reservoir and its tributaries put an eho
to the abuses there, but the Italians eVldehuS

some four hundred were in the habit OF batflihg

fairly clean place in that neighborhood despite
the presence of the horde of Italian laborers-
Down below, however, in one Of the trtbu-

Up at sodom the Italians knelt beside the
