POLLOCK ISSUES
CONTRADICTION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s-An en-
phatic contradiction was made here to-
day by George F. Pollock, chief Of de-
partment B, Interior Department. Of
allegations in the affidavit made at Salt
Lake C4ly yesterday by Michael A
Myendorff, a special agent OF the Gov
ernment, that Pollock had instructed
Myendorff TO destroy four afidavits he
had procured against the Union Pacific
Coal Company in the coal land fraud
investigation in Utah.
Mr.. Pollock says that the state
ments contained in the morning papers
rejecting on his conduct and motives
matter are absolutely untrue. He
never personally or officially, by direc-
tion or suggestion expressed or implied,
nor by any act or commission or in
tended omission, aided or countenanced
q failure to prosecute, or the suppress
sion of any prosecution Of the investi-
cation referred to.
Mr.. Pollock characterizes the state
ment that he advised Mr.. Myendorff to
destroy the afhdavits alluded TO as will
fully false He affirms that he never
saw and was never informed OF any
afidavits that did not in due and regu-
lar course become and remain part of
the records Of the office; that he gave
Myendorff no instructions whatever in
regard TO the investigation, except as
expressed in official letters which are
on file and recorded in the land office.
No other advice 10 him was necessary,
as the well-established rules Of the Of
fee Instructed him as TO his duty.

HEPBURN HAS NEW
LAND BILL

WASHINGTON. Nov. Ex-senator
Hepburn, at the opening of the ses-
sion of Congress next Monday. will in
troduce bill creating United States
land courts in each of the public land
States, in which an appeal may be
taken from any final decision by the
Register and Receiver in regard TO the
right to enter the public lands. From
these courts an appeal will lie 10 ma
tionaI land court. to be provided by
<fle bill. with headquarters at Washing
ton and consisting Of three judges.
Hepburn thinks this will relieve the
men in the Land Office and the Interior
Department of the necessity for Sdecid-
ing legal controversies affecting the
entry of public lands and will greatly
curtail the expense and delay incident
to such contests and at the same time
secure judges who will be appointed
for their special fitness and ability to
handle such cases.

Albert c. Perry, commander of the
United States battleship Tennessee, to-
day characterized as absolutely false
the story that members of his crew had
mutinied against an order calling for
a four-hours' run under forced draft

with President Roosevelt. Captain
Perry says the run was merely for
one hour of the Virginia capes and
that everybody on board entered into

coaled on the Isthmus for the return
trip homeward and not during the trip.
They said the men on the Tennessee,

tions, refused to coal the ship. The
marine guard was ordered out, and
according to the men here, the marines
stood with pointed guns threatening
to shoot the first man who quit his
post during the coaling of the cruiser
The coaling was in this way completed
and as q result of the alleged mutiny
100 men were placed in the brig. These,
however. according to the report to-
day, were released when the homeward
start was begun ALI is now declared
TO be quiet on the cruiser Tennessee.
There was no trouble among the men
on the Washington. IT was declared
that the Washington on the homeward
trip had two break-downs. Her star

the Florida coast was reached This

INQUIRY COMMISSION

BOSTON, Nov. 2S.-The American
Peace Society made public in this city
today a letter which had been forward
ed to President Roosevelt in connection
with arbitration of matters of inter-
national dispute and dealing also with
the reduction of armaments by inter-
national agreement The letter in part
is as follows:
The directors of the American Peace
Society, in common with their fellow
citizens of the whole country. believe
that the foundations OF peace among
the nations which were established by
The Hague conference in 1899 can be
further materially strengthened by the
approaching conference of 1907. and we
venture respectfully, in behalf OF the
American Peace Society. TO suggest
that the following provisions should
constitute a part of the programme:
The further development of the per-

creation OF a treaty Of obligatory ar

with the object of enforcing Korea,s
claim in the dispute between China and
Korea with regard to the ownersbfp of
Kando the island province fncIosed by
the headvyafers of the Tumen and YaIu
rivers. Adyices from yladivostok saw
the military preparations are causing
alarm there.
The Korean Daily News says:
The military activity of the Jap
anese in Northern Korea certainly in a
measure justifies these apprehensions.
Light railroad built from the coast
to the central frontier, and post
ing stations, similar TO those which are
established on the roads from Fusan
TO Seoul. previous to the last war. have
been built every three miles along the
road connecting the east and west coasts.
The existence of large garrisons in the
north. the frequent arrival of Japan
ese troops on the east coat and General
Hazzewa,s recent tour of inspection all
offer excuses for the fears of the yladi-
vostok people"
The Korean paper believes the
preparations indicate Japan's intention
to pick a quarrel with China regarding
the ownership of Kando-
Weale, the well-known writer on
East Asian politics. telegraphs TO a
Shanghai paper observations made dur
ing a Journey through Russian Pa
cific provinces and Manchuria. He says
the VIadivestok garrison has been in
creased TO twice that of Port Arthur.
There are now $4,000 men and seventy
six forts, but owing to the disturbances
at home the whole military scheme is
confused and authorities are in con-
fict with one another. Increasing ac-
tivity by Japan in Northern Korea is
causing alarm. Regarding Manchuria,
he saws Chinese authority should be
strengthened and settlements made in
ternationaI, otherwise the growing
rivalry and animosity of the powers
will cause Manchuria to share Poland's s
fate.
General Nogi, hero of Port Arthur,
has invented artificial hands which au-
tomatically clutch articles. and a fac
tory will be equipped TO supply these
