GUILTY OF LAND FRAUDS

Of the four defendants on 36 counti
Of an indictment which charged con
spiracy to defraud the government O.
public lands and subornation of per
jury. The jury took but two hours tt
consider the evidence.
This, trial began November 10 and
the jury was completed two days
later. The entire time Of the court
since then was devoted to hearing
testimony for the government and the
arguments of the attorneys, no wit
nesses being introduced for the de-
tense.
The accusation against the officers
of the Nebraska Land and Feeding
company was that they attempted to
secure title to vast tracts of land
within the Spade ranch enclosure,
Sheridan and Box Butte counties,
Nebr, by means of fraudulent home
stead entries under the Kinkaid law
which permitted the homesteader to
take up a section of land in the semi.
arid districts. Scores of witnesses
were introduced who swore that they
filed on the lands at the solicitation
of agents of the principal defendants
with the understanding that they
would be paid all the way from $500
to $1,000 for their claims when title
was secured and that all necessary
improvement should be made by the
company.
A year ago Richards and Comstock
who are counted in the millionaire
class were convicted in the federal
court of illegally fencing government
land and fined $500 each and sentenc'
ed to six hours imprisonment each.
The latter part of the sentence waa
served at the Omaha club in the nom,
inal custody of their attorney who
had been deputized for that duty by
United States Marshall T. L. Mat
thews. As a sequel to this episode
President Roosevelt removed the
and United States District
Attorney Irving L. Baxter.

BLAMES SHIPPERS

PLAN TO DOUBLE EQUIPMENT
The Average Time of Freight Car In
Transit IL One Day While Nine
Are Consumed in Loading
and Unloading.

Washington, Dec. 21.-President A
Stickney Of the Chicago Great West
tern railroad, has submitted some in
teresting facts to the interstate com
merce commission bearing on the
distance Travelled and the time con
sumed In hauling and in loading and
unloading freight cars, which he re-
CARDS OF Importance in connection
with any legislation which may be
considered regarding the car short
age question. In arriving at his con-
illusions, Mr.. Stickney bases his es-
timating on the entire freight car ca
pacity Of the country.
They are as follows:
The average distance each loaded
freight car is hauled is $50 miles.
The average time consumed by the
railways In hauling is one day-24
hours.
The average time consumed by
shippers and consignees in loading
and unloading each car is nine days
PIG hours.
Mr.. Stickney then makes the fol-
lowing comment:
IF the law or any other power can
compel shippers to load and unload
each average car In IL days 1t
would be equivalent to doubling in
simultaneously the effectiveness of the
freight equipment of the railways
in effect adding to such equipment
100000 cars without cost to the rail-
ways and without increasing their
capitalization, while to purchase that
number of new cars would cost the
railways and add to their capitaliza-
tlon the enormous sum of $1,360,010,-
900, which at per cent, would add
to their annual charges $54,O0O,OOO
to be collected from the people.
1.-THE movement of freight cars
from point to point, which is the func-
ton of the railway, and the loading
and unloading, which is the duty
from the shippers, are inseparable
and each must wait upon the other
As long as shippers consume nine
days In loading and unloading each |
car, transportation will be delayed.
"Tf delays in transportation can be
prevented by legislation, such legis-
lation must compel the loading and
within reasonable time"
