called. The logical time, of course, is

action whatever. Ti<@:.<
But if something must be done-and

New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Another land
scandal is rumored to be- hidden behind
veto message which the president will
send to congress in a few days. Both
the house and senate at this session
passed bill transferring from the
Yosemite National park, California, to
the Sierra forest reserve certain lands
in Mariposa county in the northwest
corner Of the park. In this large tract,
lying in the foothills, are included about
sixty thousand acres of patented land
and great many mines.
Under the park rules the people can
not improve this, land, and the motive
assigned for the transfer was a. desire
to develop the business enterprises and
industries of Mariposa county. s
The bill seemed rather harmless I'M
til it reached the president, who
probed deeply and discovered
sufficient reason for refusing to
sign, it. He notified Represents
tive Gillett- of California yes
terday that on the grounds that the
bill proposed to take out Of the park
several large groves of giant :. trees
Fthe most valuable assets of the
park he would veto the bill. Behind
the bill is a fight between the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe, railroad fol
an entrance to the park. AS the matte,
now stands, neither can enter it. .
