Telegram.) Congressman Mccarthy
showed his mettle today in successfully
defending and passing the senate bill
granting 10000 acres OF government land
to the state of Wisconsin. The bill was
| introduced in the senate by Mr.. LaFollettc
and was reported to the house by MI.
Mccarthy from the committee ON public
| lands When he called UP the bill today
under suspension of the rules Mr. Mon
dell Of Wyoming objected TO its passage
on the ground that II was wholly new leg
islstion and creating a precedence that
might prove a boomerang for the govern
! ment. Mr.. Mccarthy. however. showed to
| the house that Mr.. Mondell was not ac-
| quainted with the facts in the case and
| that bills of similar character were passed
| in previous congresses for western states.
| The house passed the bill without dis
senting vote. Wisconsin has 100000 acres
within the state reserve, in which is in
cluded 10000 acres of government land.
| This 10000 acres Is necessary to be set
apart forest reserve in order to keep
the hres from reaching the rest of the
timber and at the same time conserve the
waters of three principal feeders Of the
Mississippi.
| KittredEe IL Mad.
Senator Kittredge, the giant statesmen
! from South Dakota, has entered the
strongest kind OF a protest against the
| nomination of James d. Elliott to be dis
| trfct attorney for South Dakota. When
the conference with the president was
ended today Senator Kittredge came from
the White House with the distinct knowl-
edge that the president mad determined to
appoint Elliott and Kittredge was mad.
| Kittredge is member Of the judiciary
committee on interoceanic canals The
| bRliPf il ua
will oppose the confirmation of Elliott in
the senate judiciary committee and in the
| event there is a favorable report in be-
| half Of Elliotts confirmation IL is thought
| Kittredge will take the fight to the floor.
On the other hand Senator Gamble, who
| is by means new hand at fighting,
will see to it that Elliott is promptly
confirmed il he can bring it about.
