COUNTRY TO KEEP COAL LANDS.
The President Intends 60 Withdraw All
such Lands From Public Entry.

WASHINGTON. Oct. s,-The President
had another extended conference with
Secretary Hitchcock to-day over the de-
tails OF a proposed order withdrawing
from all forms NJ public entry. lands con-
tanning coal deposits. Secretary Hitch
cock said on leaving the White Hous that
the order would be made soon. He ex-
planned that the matter was being de-
layed until reports on coal deposits from
the United States Geological Survey could
be received.
The purpose OF the order is to prevent the
railroads from acquiring control Of coal
lands. The necessity for such action was
impressed upon Secretary Hitchcock's
mind by the developments OF the inquiry
into the action OF the Gould railroads in
acquiring patents to valuable coal de-
posts in Wyoming, Utah. Colorado and
other Western States. Suits brought by
the Government to cancel the patents to
all Of these acquisitions on the ground
of fraud are o pending in the Federal
courts OF Utah and New Jersey.
The investigation mad by the Govern
ment has tended to show that agents were
hired TO make the entries, which we're inn
mediately turned over to the railroads.
BY this irregular method millions of acres
have passed to railroad ownership. Secre-
tary Hitchcock may recommend criminal
prosecutions IN some OF the cases. Inc
Secretary said to-day that IL il became
necessary 10 protect the mineral lands
general withdrawal might be ordered at
once of all lands that might possibly have
coal deposits and il the reports OF the
Geological Survey afterward showed no
coal deposits such lands could be released
from the effect of the order.
In the closing days OF the last session
Senator la Toilette introduced a resolu-
ton directing the President to make
general Withdrawals Of public lands shown
TO contain coal, oil, Ignite or other minerals
useful for fuel. The resolution did not
pass. Senator La Toilette said at the time
he introduced the resolut ion hat it was
an administration measure. Secretary
Hitchcock said to-day that oil lands would
not be included in the new order, which
would cover only coal deposits

From the Dundee Advertiser.
Ono of the newest fads of the medical
world is the sleep cure. According 10 the
physician who has sought to Introduce his
ideas among the Paristans, one sleeps en-
tirely too little. 1t is his argument that one
lives a certain length of time. and that this
time sickness not considered) is extended
over long or short period, according TO the
temperament of the person. He cites in
support of his theory the longevity of the
negroes and declares that they attain "A ripe
old age because they sleep when work Is not
absolutely essential. His treatment con-
sists of sending his patient to bed and maxi
ing him sleep. Eight hours day one may

teen be spent In bed. but the patient must
actually be asleep.
