Purchaser in 1903 of $180,000 in

asked IL he had anything to say in
regard to the case, he replied that
he believed Messrs. Richards and
Comstock had been acting in good
faith as regards the removal of their
unlawful fences and that they would
continue to act in good faith in the
matter OF removing the remainder of
their fences.
"As for the four years of determined
efforts and the expenditure Of thou
sands of dollars by the government
before the defendants were indicted
that OF course was not matter sub
mitted for my consideration. All
there was in the case for me to de-
eide was the sentence, and that
decision was not made until after I
had given the matter thorough con-
sideration."
Baxter is Quizzed
District Attorney Baxter has re-
ceived letter from the attorney gen.
eral which makes the inquiry as to
whether or not he (Mr. Baxter) made
any suggestion regarding prison
sentence before the defendants were
fined. The district attorney says he
made no suggestion to the court, mere
ly saying that he was satisfied that
Richards and Comstock meant to COM
ply with the law in regard to removing
their fences.

Munger's Hot Retort
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 16.-Speaking
of the Associated Press report to the
effect that Secretary Hitchcock of the
interior department was surprised
and indignant on account of the $500
fine and six-hour sentence passed upon
Bartlett Richards and William G..
Comstock for inclosing $4,000 acres
of government land, Judge Munger
who imposed the sentence in federal
court had this to say:
"Well, the secretary of the interior
has a perfect right to be surprised
and indignant if he wants to be. One
would naturally think he had enough
to look after with the affairs pertain
ing to his Office without seeking to
saddle himself with additional re-
sponsibilities.
"You may quote me as saying, how
ever that I think the result which
the government hoped to attain has
been effected The indictments and
the prosecution were primarily for the
purpose of obliging ranchment to
abandon their unlawful fences. Now
the enclosing of the public domain is
not a crime per Sc. Ii is nothing
more than a statutory offence.
Thinka Sentence Sufficient
'In view of this fact aud of the ad
ditional fact that the defendants de
clared that they had removed theli
unlawful fences in part and avowed
their intent of taking down any fence
which might still remain on govern
ment land. | believe the sentence
passed upon them was sufficient tt

BRITISH BIRTHS DECREASE.
Rate Last Year Lowest on Record in
Empixe-Abnormal Death Rate
Among Infants.

London.-The birth rate for England
and Wales during the year 1904 was
27.9 per 1000 of the population. a de-
crease Of 1.3 per 1000 compared with
the average for the ten years 1884,
1904, and lower than the rate of any
other year on record.
This startling fact is shown in a
report issued by the register general.
Not only has the birth rate fallen ac-
cording to the percentage OF the popu-
lation, but the number of actual birth
shows decrease of over 5000 on the
figures of 1903. Even within the IL
months OF 1904 a steady diminution is
shown.
While the birth rate is dwindling.
the deaths of babies in their first year
is still abnormally large. During the
three months that ended in December
1873, 4O5 deaths we're registered. and Of
these 30.967 we're infants under one
year of age. There were IN the same
period 22S 4 t1fss births. Thus for every
1 GOO babies born 1876 died. This ex-
traordinary and alarming mortality
varied according to district. 1t is sig
nificant that itreached its worst aspect
among the 76 great towns of Lam
cashire.
In the 142 smaller towns the mortal
ity is in some cases even worse. Tun-
stall and Lancaster head the list with
a proportion of 274 deaths of infants
under one year to every 1000 births,
while in Burslem the proportion was
264 per 1000 and in Macclesfield 255
per 1000. Excluding the 218 towns,
the proportion for the remainder Of
England and Wales was 118 deaths of
infants to every 1000 births.

DISCOVER ART TREASURES.
Paintings Supposedly by Old Masters
Found in st. Louis Picture
Collection.

st. LOuis.-What appears to be an
art collection OF rare value has been
discovered In the possession of Mrs.
II. NJ. Cooke. Some of the magnif-
cent paintings collected by this
woman's husband, now dead, are
claimed to be genuine old masters.
This statement the aFt authorities are
inclined TO discredit pending examina-
ton, for the reason that very few of
the paintings of the old masters are
outside the museums and nearly all
the originals are known and accounted
for and would bring fabulous prices if
placed on sale. A Vandyke or q
Rubens has not been sold in ten years
and record is kept OF every transfer
OF one OF the works OF the old painters.
Mrs. Cooke is positive that several
OF her treasures are genuine originals.
AT any rate, the collection is very val
liable and interesting. The rich color
.ings have been mellowed by age. One
which the owner claims is an original
