It Was Made the Vehicle for Railroad
 Regulation Debate
Many Amendments Were Rejected Still the Bill Differs in Form From the Shape in Which it Came From the House.

upon the necessity of prohibiting rail road stockholders from acquiring lands and in support of his contention referred to the fact that through their officers the railroads of Pennsylvania own 9S per cent of the anthracite coal in that state.
 He declared that they had driven the independent operators out of bus mess, thus rendering all the people who use anthracite dependent upon the eight or nine corporations for their fuel He. declared that the peo- pie must be able to assert their sov- ereign authority over the transporta- tiOn lines and that they must be so controlled as to protect the general public. It has been said that if the railroad companies want the coal lands. they will get them regardless of what congress will do. He could not agree to that doctrine.
 'I want" he said, ito put on record the protest of one individual against the doctrine that the railroad com panies can secure the mastery for the national products of the country so as to interfere with their being fair and even handed transporters of the pro- ducts of the country. l want it put on record that this government of the United States is stronger than any of its creatures, stronger than the rail roads in the aggregate and all the cen tralized power of tire corporations rep resented by unlawful corporations and trusts. I would write it in the stat utes that the railroad companies must be common carriers and nothing else and write it so as to make it effect i've"
 MT. Newlands charged that the great corporations practically control all the coal lands in Pennsylvania and West Virginia and said they were rap idly extending their operations in Col oradO, Utah, New Mexico and other states and territories.
 MT. Teller took exceptions to some of the statements declaring that there was no monopoly of the coal lands in Colorado, and he defended the rights of the people of the west to control their own resources. He criticised the two great extensions of the forest res ervation system and said it was done in pursuance of "the insane notion that the government must hold the lands for the unborn"
 A somewhat general discussion Of the forest reserves followed, ana at It's close MT. LaFOllette again took the floor in reply to the speeches germane to his amendment. He said that all the senators who had spoken had pro fessed sympathy with his motive, but

PRIVATE CLAIMS DAY.

Washington, Mar. 2.-The first pri- vate claim session of the fifty-eighth congress occupied the house today. twenty-five bills being passed. All these measures carried small amounts for the relief of private individuals who are precluded under the laws from obtaining their rights. Opposition to many of the bills was made by MT. Mann of Illinois, and MT. Shackleford .of Missouri. This opposition accounted for the small number of measures con- sidered.
 The committee reporting the bills failed only in one instance in securing the favorable report in the committee of the whole necessary for favorable action in the house. Five bills favor ably considered in the committee failed to pass the house by reason of failure of quorum at 5:3O D. m.. when ad- journment was had until Monday.

YOUNG MIR. PATTERSON
That He is Tending Towards
 Socialism.

Chicago, March 2.-Commissioner of Public Works Joseph Medin Pat terson has rendered his resignation to Mayor Dunne. In his letter, Patterson says: 'I used to believe that many ills under which the nation suffers and by which it is threatened were to be pre- vented or avoided by a general inaug uration of public ownership of public utilities. But my experience has con vinced me that this policy will not be even one-fourth of the way sufficient
 Citing cases of foreign governments where the municipal system was sue cessfully developed, he says the prob lem of the unemployed is becoming of tremendous intensity. Common ownership" he says. "of all means of production and distribution would give everybody an equal chance. I cannot see why these things should be con- centrated more and more in the hands of a few. If this be the theory of socialists, then I am a socialist. You will find as other advanced radicals $ who believe as you do, will soon find that you are merely paltering with skin deep matters when you stop short of socialism. Mayor Dunne has ac- cepted his resignation.

Washington, Mar. 2.-The senate to- day passed the bill providing for the settlement of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes. Under the guise of considering the bin the senate spent practically the entire day in discus sion of the railroad question.
 The subject was raised by MT. La Folette's proposed amendment to the Indian bill prohibiting railroad compa- nies and their stockholders from ac- quiring coal lands in the Indian Terri tory, and when the question was once before the senate. it held it's place per sistently until almost the close of the days session. Notwithstanding Mr. LaFollette has sat in the senate less than three months, he led the debate and occupied more time than any other senator. He cOntended that the prohi- bition contained in his amendment IS necessary to prevent the railroads from controlling the coal business of the In dian Territory. Later in the day the LaFollette amendment together with all the Indian committees amendments to the section. was laid on the table.
 The bill has passed both the house and senate, but as the senate amended it in many respects it will now go into conference. It is a general bill for the adjustment of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes upon their abandon nent of their tribal organization. The following are the most important fea- lures Of the bill:
 Requires the enrolment of the members Of the Five Civilized Tribes by March 4, 1907; fixes the rights or the Indian freedmen contiues in of flee the present principal chiefs; pro- vides for the execution of tribal deeds; authorizes the secretary of the interior to assume charge of and sell tribal buildings for the benefit of the tribes; gives him control of the schools until a regular state or territorial school system is adopted; prohibits the sale of the coal and asphalt lands until af- ter the expiration of the present leases of those lands or until authoriZ ed by law; authorizes the secretary to sell the unaIIotted lands for the benefit of the tribes; removes some of the re- strictlons placed upon allottees in the matter of the alienation of lands; au- thorizes sectional line roads; gives au- thority to electric roads and light and power companies to locate canals, res ervors and dams; extends some of the Oklahomda laws to the Indian Terri tory and extends the present tribal re- lations and government until March f, 1907.

ORCHARDS STORY

Boise, Idaho, March 2.-Before the grand jury at Caldwell. this morning, Harry Orchard completed his testi- mony in the Steunenberg murder case. It is said he went into great detail about the entire matter telling the jurymen what induced him to under take the crime, how much he was paid. etc. He was brought back to the pen itentiary here. During the afternoon a number of witnesses were brought before the grand jury One was Cap tain w. s. Swain, of the ThieI agency of Spokane, who was on the ground early and has been in the employ of the state ever since.
 Jos. Fl. Hutchinson, former Iieuten- ant governor. also was before tn. jury. It was he who first formulated a theory of the nature of the bomb used, and he found a piece of the fishline used in firing the internal machine. Later he assisted in the search of Orchards belongings, dis covering many powders and other substances which it is thought were used in the manufacture of the bomb. His theory of the bomb was correct as shown by Orchards confession. The jury may take some additional testi- mOny tomorrow, but it is not expected any indictment will be returned until some time next week
 Orchard is quoted as having said to one of the three officers who guard ed him last night: Now that my mind has been unburdened of the guilty secrets which have haunted me continually" Orchard said, 'I feel like a new man. I know that I will be punished. I deserve to be punished to hn fin mi ,f IaNu I a bad man, but I have d conscious feeling within me that I can hardly de- scribe, that God approves the course which I have taken. My hope is to re- pair what I can of the evil I have done"

PRESIDENT WALSH
 TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
In Connection With the Failure of
 the Chicago National Bank.

Chicago. Mar. 2.-John R. Walsh, president of the defunct Chicago Ma tional bank, which closed it's doors on December IS, 1905, was today taken into custody on a federal warrant which charges him with a violation of the national banking laws in making false returns to the comptroller of the currency, and also asserts that he con verted to his own use without proper authority funds of the bank amount ing to S3,000,00O. He was released af- ter giving bonds of S5O,OOO.
 The arrest of MT. Walsh came as direct result of the last examination of the books of the Chicago National bank made by Special Bank Examiner Arthur L. Curry, sent to Chicago from Washington. The data furnished to the treasury department in Washing ton was sent to District Attorney Nor risOn in this city, with instructions to take the proper steps.
 MT. Morrison early today swore to the complaint before United States Commissioner FOote, who issued a warrant for the arrest Of Mir Walsh and placed it in the hands of Deputy Marshal Middleton. MT. Walsh was found in his office and placed under arrest.
 After being released MT. Walsh made the following statement: "The charge, in effect, is that as president of the bank 1 signed a report to the comp troller, which report it is now alleged is false. The report in question would ordinarily have been signed by me as q matter of course. The report referred to, however, was undoubtedly correct. These facts will be clearly established by the evidence if the case reaches q stage when evidence is produced. believe, however. that a more thorough investigation of the facts by the de- partment of justice and a comparison of the report with the books of the bank will convince the department of justice that it's position is uncalled for and can not be sustained"
 Any inference that might be drawn from the complaint that there has been any misrepresentation of funds in any way is absolutely false"

A FILING UP
 OF EVIDENCE
Second Confession in the
 Steunenberg Case
Said to be Made by Adams, and More Sweeping Than That of Orchard.

Boise, Idaho. March 2.-The States man will say in the morning: The Statesman is authorized to announce that Steve Adams, arrested at Haines, Oregon, on February 20, in connection with the Steunenberg assas assination, has made a full and sweeping confes- sion.
 This second confession is far more important than that made by Harry Orchard" This is the statement made by James Mcfarland the famous de- tective, last evening, in the presence of Governor Gooding and J. H. Hawley, who is in charge of the prosecution.
 MT. Mcfarland asserted that Adams confession fully and exactly corrobo- rated that made by Orchard at every point touched on by both.
 Moreover" Mcfarland continued. Adams knows far more of the work ings of the inner circle than Orchard did and was able to give a mass of de- tailed information that Orchards con fession did not cover" This confess sion of Adams. he said. corroborated that given by Orchard every substan- tial point connected with the assassi- nation of Governor Steuenenberg. Adams, however, was not at Caldwell at the time of the assassination, nor was Orchard at the time of the un- successful effort in November. The man who assisted Orchard on that lat ter occasion, as set forth in Orchards confession was Jack SimDkins.
 Still another statement made by the detective was that the Adams confess sion gave details of a large number of murders that were not referred to in any manner by Orchard. It was fur ther stated that the confession mad been reduced 10 writing, signed and acknowledged

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 1S.-The
fuel situation as it exists today pre-
sents the most critical condition that
has existed in the history of the state.
Careful inquiry in every portion Of
the northern half of the state shows
that there is not town in which coal
can be had except in small quantities
and to supply immediate needs and in
dozens of places there is not pound
to be bought, the dealers having been
out of fuel for days and in some cases
for week or more.
At Lakota dealers are out and in
dividuals are sharing with their neigh
bors.
At Cando the -four mill has been
closed for three weeks for lack OF
fuel and the light plant closed last
Thursday and individuals are running
short. =

on Dec. 8.
At Towner and Rugby the schools
are closed, as in many smaller places
At Minot the central heating plant
has closed down at intervals to save
fuel,

Archbishop OF Paris Quits the Eptsco-
pal Residence. =,
Paris, Dec. 1S.-Cardinal Richard,
archbishop of Paris, has voluntarily
vacated the episcopal palace and tenn
porarily accepted the hospitality Of
Denys Cochin, the Conservative dep
uty, at the latter's residence in the
Rue de Babylone.z The departure Of
the priLnate was the occasion for an
imposing manifestation on the part of
the majority Of the bishops and
priests Of Paris, many members Of the
nobility and about 5000 men, women
and children The gathering COM
pletely blocked the street in front Of
the episcopal palace and those present
sang the ''Credo" and other canticles
as the cardinal was assisted into his
carriage by the coadjutor archbishop,
Mgr. Annette, and, his two Wears gen
eral., The crowd knelt and chanted as
the cardinal seated himself in the
vehicle. The venerable prelate, who
was much affected, then arose and
blessed the multitude. "a number of
young. Catholics thereupon approached
the carriage, detached the horses and
with difficulty dragged It through the
dense masses of people lining the
streets. On all sides were heard cries
of Long live Plus K" and. Long live
the cardinal" About three-quarters of
an hour were consumed in pulling the
carriage from the palace to the resi-
dence of M. Cochin, distance of
about one mile. Detachments of
mounted republican guards preceded
and followed the procession in order
to prevent any possible disorder, but
there was not the slightest attempt on
the part of the crowds to make any
counter manifestation.
