company and others, who are alleged to
be mixed up in the fraudulent acquisi.
ton of vast coal lands in Utah and
Wyoming. ....,
President Roosevelt has interested
himself personally in the land fraud
cases, and after careful examination
of the report of the interstate commerce
commission, which was made direct to
him, he has turned over the papers to
the department of Justice with instruc.
ton to act, and act vigorously, against
all who were shown to have been con-
cerned in the fraudulent entry and
fraudulent acquisition Of lands by the
coal company and by the railroad COM
pany.
Attorney J. T. Marchand Of the COM
mission and former Judge Elmer E.
Thomas Of Omaha are engaged In ar
ranging the evidence for presentation
to the federal grand juries in at least
two places. Indictments will be sought
for perjury, subornation Of perjury
and violations of the land acts under
which the coal lands, valued at many
MILLIONS Of dollars, are claimed to have
been stolen from the government by
the railroad company for the use of
the coal company, which it owns.
It also is understood that the govern.
ment is to make determined effort
not only to punish a number Of men,
who occupy high positions, even to
landing them in the penitentiary, if
possible, but also is going to begin pro.
eeedings for, the recovery Of all coal
lands Illegally taken.
Other Roads Sought.
The evidence upon which proseeu.
tions will be based was obtained by
the interstate commerce commission in
recent hearings at Omaha, Denver and
at Salt Lake City. These hearings are
to be followed by others which will
soon be begun, and which will be d.
rected against other big railroad sys.
tens In the west.
In the end, it is expected, the gov.
eminent will uncover land frauds
which will stagger the imagination In
their aggregate magnitude. %. Few, If
any, Of The railroads which now hold
coal lands are said to have got them
honestly, and the government purposes

the guilty parties are made to suffer,
