President Roosevelt has Il ade II
good hit in making four Beef Trust of
ficers pay $25,0 600 each for being in a
conspiracy to defraud the public. But
what do they care for the fines when
they have compelled the public to pay
many thousands more than that for
their beef. Putting them behind bars
is what would do more to break up
trusts than paying fines.

thing because it insures a more honest
nomination when there is a contest for
the leading offices, but there is little
use for it i'll the nomination Of munich

where men are seekers after office and

May Revise Land Laws

WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-The public
lands committee has held its first meet
ing for the purposes of organization,
and will at one settle down to the
business of considering some import.
ant matters of legislation. Fsepresen.
tative Joseph NJ. Dixon, who is. a
member Of the committee, says that
the chairman, Mr.. Lacey, has ia &C.
cord ance with recommedna atoms OF the
department, prepared three bills for
prompt consideration. All these bills
will doubtless prove OF great interest
to all the public land states Of the
west. The first bill to DC considered
provides for the repeal of the timber
aud stone act, which, at the last ses.
sion was reported upon adversely by
the committee, but owing to the con-
tinued agitation OF the reputed land
frauds in the west, it now seems likely
that a favorable report will be made,
The second bill scheduled for consid'
GRAFTON provides for the decrease IL
number OF acres covered by the desert
land entries from 800 to l6O, with thu
additional proviso that patents shall
not issue until after entrymen hav,
established residence upon the land
The third bill, to which allusion has
been made, and which has the en-
dorsement of the president, seeks Il
abolish the Office of receiver in the

THE LEw1srOwN MURDER MYSTERY
Important Arrests May Lead to Detection
Of the Guilty Party.

LEW1STOWN, Dec. 10. The man
who murdered Samuel Studzinski, an
aged pawnbroker, in this city. on the
night of August p, Is believed to be
In custody: it is certain that q who
knows who committed the murder Is
under arrest, and the officers are con-
8dent they will know all In q very
short time.
Charles r. Bebb, who was arrested
q few days ago after the finding, uu-
der the Argus building, of two suit
cases, containing articles stolen from
the Stukzinski shop and also articles
stolen at the burglary of the Golden
Rule store, 10 June, was released
Wednesday, having established a per.
feet alibi.
Today the greatest sensation in this
sensational case was caused by the ar.
rest OF James Sherman, aged 10 years,
who has been in the employ of the
Argus for about four years, recently
In a confidential position, in charge
Of the Argus department of station
cry, typewriter supplies, etc.. The ar.
rest Of Sherman was followed by the
arrest OF Alex Mccoy, a negro, who
had been jauitor of the Argus build.
ing for about q year, and 1t seems
certain that n OF the two is either
the murderer of Studzinski or knows
who committed the brutal crime.
Sherman, who has resided here with
his parents for several years, has been
in the employ of the Argus since he
was Is years Of age, enjoying the con-
fidence Of all connected with the Argus
and having a splendid reputation.
Thanksgiving night, Sherman rat
fed o hair bride, or which he had
been selling tickets for some time
One of the unsold tickets drew the
bride, and it was left in Sherman's
possession, being seized today b,
Under Sheriff Martin. While Sher
man was selling tickets, he denied
having any interest in the bride, say

Martin believed that the bride wa
one that had been stolen from tn
Studzinski shop after the murder, ant
when he took Sherman into custod!
today, he charged that the bride hat
belonged to Studzinski. Sherman a
once admitted that he had lied abou
the bride, admitting he did not re
ceive it from Lewis, and finally h
claimed that it was given to him b,
Mccoy, he to rattle it off and to re
ceive all the proceeds above q certat
amount.
Martin also confronted Sherma
with the fact that Sherman recent
left with a local jeweler a gold watch
stolen from Studzinski, the watch I
be sold by the ~jeweler, and Sherma
at once asserted that this watch ha
also been given to him by Mccoy, h
to act as agent in selling it. TIL
watch and bride have both been pos
lively identified as the property Of tn
murdered man.
