President and Land Laws.

The president sent a message TO
congress today on the public land
laws, in which he said there was need
of vigorous and immediate action to
recast the public land laws. He also
said he was grayely concerned about
the extremely unsatisfactory condition
of the public land laws and the pre-
valance of fraud under present condi-
tiOns, and expressed the opinion that
the present laws were chiefly respon-
sible. There is one way to stop these
frauds" he continued, "and therefore
I have directed the secretary of the
Interior to allow no patents to be Is
sued on public lands under any law
until by examination on the ground
of actual compliance with the law has
been found to exist"
Besides frauds, the president touch
ed on the right Of way privileges.
private homes within national forests,
national parks and government con-
troll Of grazing.
Three messages from the president
were received by congress with inter
est, but the Panama message received
the greatest attention. II was elab-
orately illustrated showing the work
on the great waterway in various
stages, and was in the form OF a very
entertaining story of the president S
visit. Handsomely bound subject
copies were laid on the desks OF men,
bers as the reading of the message
was begun.

PRESIDENT ELLIOTT DID
NOT KNOW OF SHORTAGE

Washington, Dec. .17.--In response
to kilograms addressed to several
western railroads by the Interstate
Commerce commission as to the cause
of reported shortage of cars for trans
portation of fuel. by reason of which
suffering Is entailed, President How
ard Elliott of the Northern Pacific
telegraphs to the commission from st.
Paul that while there is a shortage
in many parts OF the country along
his line he did not know of any short
age in the necessities of life. He did
not think the cause was any extraoF-
dinary delay in moving coal as al
legged, but rather was due to an in
creased domestic trade so that in
Montana and Idaho not enough coal
is mined to supply the increase. In
North Dokata and Minnesota. he said.
the difficulty Is partly due to trying to
move too much coal Ill very short
time. and partly to the increased con
sumption of fuel which is greater
than the facilities for hauling, moving
and storing. Severe weather in North
Dakota also aided in delay
