BIG LAND SUIT Falls
Government Loses It's Case
Against Men Charged
With Fraud
TRIAL At SIOUX FALLS ENDS
Court Directs Verdict For the Defen-
dant, Owing to the TechnieaIities Of
the Law-The Case Deemed Of Much
Importance Of tho Government -
Other News.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 24.-The first of
the alleged land fraud cases to be tried
in South Dakota, after having been
on trial in the United States court in
this city several days, came to a sud-
den end yesterday, when on motion of
the attorneys for the defense, Judge
Garland directed a verdict for the de-
PENDANTS in the cases Of Thomas H.
Ayers. John I. Newell, John F. Nc
CURE and Howard A. Binwork of
Pierre, stockholders and agents Of the
Gas Belt Land & Abstract Company.
with headquarters at Pierre.
1t was shown by the evidence pre-
scented by the prosecution that the de-
PENDANTS procured fifteen widows of
soldiers from New Ulm and other
points in Minnesota to go to Pierre
and make entry on fifteen different
tracts OF government land; that all
their expenses were paid by the
agents company from the time they
left home until they returned. 1t not
peing necessary for the widows even
to pay the land office fees The tracts
were Immediately leased to cattle-
men.
In his decision directing a verdict in
favor of the defendants, Judge Garland
held in substance that at the time the
alleged defense was committed, in july
1903, rulings of the land department
and federal laws authorized soldiers
widows to make entry of public land
without the necessity of making set
tlement UPON It, and also authorized
them to lease the land even without
ever seeing, it, as was the case in this
instance
The law, however, was changed in
December. 1903. but too late to 'bene-
ut the prosecution in the case of
Ayers and the other three men.
At the April term of the United
States court in Sioux Falls an indict-
ment was returned against defendants
charging them with engaging in con-
spiracy to defraud the government out
of tracts of land between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills, in western
South Dakota The Indictment con-
tanned twenty three counts and was
one of the. most voluminous documents
of the kir.d ever returned by federal
grand jury in South Dakota.

GEN. PETER HAMS
DEFENDS LOCK CANAL
Declares This Type the Most Advisable
and One Most Readily
Completed

Gen. Peter Hams. canal commission
er. and signer of the minority report OF
the board OF consulting engineers. today
before the Senate Committee on Inter
oceanic Canals testified in defense OF a
lock canal across the isthmus os psn-
anna. as outlined by the minority re-
port. He said that such canal would
easily accommodate all commerce that
applied for transmission through the
isthmus and that he considered II TO
be the most feasible plan from the very
fact that Its construction would Oe COM
pleted at an earlier date than wound a
sea-level ditch
He said that with a lock canal much OF
the curvature of the waterway between
the Atlantic and Pacific at Pant ma
would be eliminated. This feature alrne
would guarantee speedy TRANSMISSION
of vessels and he had no idea that
locks large enough to accommodate q
S00-foot vessel could not be constructed
as easily as a 500 or 70o-foot lock-
On the Gatun dam proposition he
said that the site advocated by the lock
canal was all that could be desired.
and that much OF what was said againS>
the site he thought was based on opti-
mistic views He did not go into Iull
detail regarding the building of the
canal. confining himself mostly 20 the
type of the canal 70 be constructed.
which he considered paramount al this
time to all other questions.
