CANNON SPEAKS IN SEDALIA
Illinois Statesman Discusses Labor,
Panama Canal and TRrin
Problems.

SEDALIA Mo. Sept 24.--The republic
can campaign was opened in Sedalia to-
day by Speaker Joseph q. Cannon and
Congressman James 4. Watson of In
diana. There were two meetings. Mr..
Watson delivering the principal address
in the afternoon and MIR. Cannon speaking
at night.
John welborn of the seventh Missouri
district introduced Mr.. Cannon, who spoke
for an hour and half.
Mr.. Cannon dwelt particularly on the
labor problem and it's relations to the
building of the Panama canal. He de-
clared that the labor peculiar to the
climate nearest the equator was necessary
and said that the American working man
had no business there; that he could not
live and. II by chance he did live. he
would not make money at the wages paid
and the cost of subsistence. The tariff
question was touched very lightly in Mr..
Cannon's address. He endorsed the adj
minlstration policy in every respect and
made II plain to the republicans Of central
Missouri that the issue of the next cam
paign had already been made up. There
can be no other issue for the democrats
than a sweeping condemnation of the poll
cles that have brought this country the
most bountiful prosperity and have earned
it the respect of the world he said.
ST. LOUIS. Mo, Sept 24.-Speaker
Joseph @. Cannon passed through st. Louis
this morning on his way to Sedalia, Mo-,
to begin campaign speaking tour
through the state
II am not a candidate for the presi-
dency and there Is no such a bee in my
head" said the speaker. when the next
republican convention meets 1t will look
over the records OF the men and will name
the best man.
"I am out to do what can with my
little mite toward electing republican
members of congress to assure repub-
lican house. for If the house is not re-
publican there will be little chance for a
| republican candidate to be elected presi-
dent"
When asked about the Cuban situation,
| Speaker Cannon said:
"Of course II would be bad taste for me
| to say anything about the, situation in
Cuba with the secretary of state and the
| president handling the situation. The
United States will see that justice is
done and the trouble ended.
II think that Cuba is large enough to
take care of itself and could end he
trouble IL the right steps were taken.

LANDFRAUDS NEAR ALLIANCE
Alleged Conspiracy Unsarthed by Fedora
officials in Chicago.
POLICY PROMOTER KING ARRESTED
Windy City Gambler Alleged TO Have
Cotton Bogus Title to seven
Sections of Nebraska
Land.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.--An extensive
scheme of land frauds in government
lands in the vicinity of Alliance, Neb,
was unearthed here today and Patrick J..
King, for many years the head policy
promoter of Chicago. was arrested on a
charge of being the ringleader For
three months secret service operatives
have been at work in Chicago in connec-
tion with the existence of a company said
to have been organized for the purpose
of illegally obtaining title TO homesteads
in Nebraska, and today the first arrest
was made on complaint of Secret Service
Operative Robert Hobbs of Washington.
Suborna ton of perjury was the specific
charge ON which King was arrested. He
was arraigned before United states Com
missioner Foote and released on S2.5O0
bonds until October 4.
1t is charged that King, with a number
of other men, has used aged civil war
veterans and their widows to further their
scheme of obtaining title to vast tracts
of land in Nebraska. King is charged
with having fraudulently obtained title to
seven sections of land from as many
former soldiers.
Agents of King are said to have per-
suaded former soldiers to file claims on
the land, after which they we're induced
to sign contracts to transfer the title to
King. The prospective homesteader was
then given railroad fare to Nebraska and
his expenses paid. When the title was
cleared the land was turned over to King.
The land filed upon is of little value at
present and irrigation was relied upon to
make the scheme profitable.
Kings case will have to be transferred
to the courts of Nebraska for trial be-
cause the alleged fraud was committed
there. King demanded and was given a
