OF II.

Omaha, Neb., (SpeciaD AT last the

scenes in the great Western land grabs,

hundreds of indictments against cattle
men and old soldiers who committed per-
jury in carrying out the schemes OF the
gang.
Attorney Frank f. Lambert, who was
brought back from Oregon last week on
a charge of subordination OF perjury, in
connection with the land frauds, has
made a clean breast of the scheme, ac-
knowedging that he acted as go-betweer

and tell all he knows.
According to the story told by Lambert
he acted as agent for the cattle kings
for the purpose of securing soldiers
homesteads and entries. He AYERS that
he did wholesale business and received
$50 for each filing that he procured.
The soldiers took the lands with the
understanding that they were to be re-
linquished to the cattlemen, thereby per-
turing themselves. Many thousands Of
acres were relinquished in this way
The soldiers implicated are scattered

MOVE TO FORCE TURKEY
Great Britain, France and Italy to
Act.
GERMANY's DIPLOMATIC MOVE.
Lord Lansdowne Has Suggested to the Other
Powers That Demands Include Judicial as
Well as Financial Control Over Macedouia-
Austria. Germany and Russia Are Not Likely
10 Concur Ia the Scheme.

London (By Cable) Final arrange
ments for a combined naval demonstra-
ton against Turkey have been delayed
pending the receipt of replies from the
powers to suggestion from Lord Lans-
downe, the British foreign secretary,
that the demands be extended to include
not only financial, but Judicial, control
over Macedonia by the European powers,
an the extension of reforms to the
Vilayet of Adrianople, which, though dis
turbed like Macedonia, was not included
in the present Anstro-Russian scheme.
In making the proposition Lord Lans-
downe, who is convinced that financial
control alone of Macedonia will be in
adequate to secure order there. hopes to
obviate the necessity of again resorting
to the delicate maneuver of joint ma
val demonstration and by one coup to
secure concessions which will enable the
powers to permanently settle the Bal
kans.
Since Austria and Russia rejected the
original proposal for autonomy in Mace
donia Lord Lansdowne has been endeav-
oring by degrees to secure permanent
reforms. To his latest proposal it is
stated that Italy and France will proba-
bly, agree readily, but there is little hope
of Austria, Russia and Germany concur
ring therein.
At the foreign office it was said that
refusal of any power to agree to this
new proposal will make no difference in
the attitude of Great Britain, which coun-
try in any event will join in the proposed
demonstration against Turkey The next
step, it was said, will be an ultimatum,
in which it will be stated that in the
event of refusal by the Porte to accede
to the demands of the powers a demon
stration will Immediately be begun.
Command of the combined feet would
fall upon Austria, Russia being in no
position at present to assume command,
as she would be unable to participate in
the seizure of any Mediterranean port
without passing the Dardanelles, which
would be strictly contrary to the Treaty
of Berlin, under which the allies operate.
