USED IOWA SOLDIERS.
lany Involved I'm Nebraska Land
Fraud Cases.

An effort was made at Omaha Fri
day by the defense in the Richard
Comstock land fraud trial in the Unit
ed State district court to discredit one
Of the government witnesses. Irving ID.
Hull, of Mirage who announced him.
self as a professional land locator. IL
was claimed by the defense that HUH
testimony was given in consideration
of his immunity from prosecution on
charges in connection with the lana
freud cases. Hull admitted having
been arrested and bound over to the
grand jury by a United State commits
sioner. but said no indictment was
found against him and that he was
not promised immunity.
Hulls testimony developed an
agreement between himself and Thos.
M. Huntington to secure soldiers MI
ings. The soldiers were to be given
$500 for their land after proving up.
Preparatory to final proof they were
to lease the land to Comstock and
Huntington was to get 800 for each
lease, and out of this 500 the eX-
penses and improvements were to be
paid for When final proof was COM
pleted the consideration for each sec
ton was to be 5000. Three hundred
dollars of this was to go to the soldier
and the other was to be divided be-
tween Huntington and James Hull, a
brother of the witness.
Hull testified to meeting Huntington
at Norfolk about the middle of June,
1904 He said
I'VE talked about securing old SOL
diers to file on government land. He
wanted me to get all / could and have
the men on the land the day the Kin
kaid law went into effect. He said ar
rangements had been made whereby
ne could place all the filings he could
get He preferred soldiers who had
the longest service in the army, be-
cause they could prove up sooner. He
said he had talk with my brother,
James j. Hull, few days before, and
I being an old soldier he thought l
could get old soldiers to file better
than he. He said man named Com
stock would place the filings. The
agreement was that the soldiers were
to go out to the land, make lease
Of 1t, and when it was made out he
would pay 500, the filing expenses to
be taken out of the lease money and
the balance of the proceeds of the
800 would go to Hunting and my

HARTJE FILES REPLY.
Rcsists His Wife's Efforts to Collect
Funds for Court Expenses.

Augustus Hartje, of Pittsburg, Pa,
defendant in a recent sensational d.
lvorce case, filed reply in the COM
mon pleas court Monday to the petit
ltion for alimony and expenses made
by his wife, Mary Scott Hartje, ten
days ago. Mrs. Hartje set up the
claim that her husband had an income
of $4,000 year and that her defense
to his charges had cost her $4,000
She therefore asked for sum to COW
Ter these expenses.
In his reply Mr.. Hartje entered a
general denial of the statements made
by his wife and characterized them as
wickedly and maliciously false. All
charges of corruption OF witnesses or
entering into any conspiracy to pro-
duce false testimony are likewise de-
MED
Hartje demands an itemized account
of his wifes expenses and says that
much OF 1t was unreasonably and UNI
lawfully contracted.

PROBE CAR SHORTAGE.
Matter Taken Up by Commerce Com
mission.

The car shortage throughout the
United States will be investigated by
the interstate commerce commission.
Commissioners Franklin X. Lane. who
has been looking into this subject, said
Monday that the commission would
take up the situation in the northwest
first. Agents are now in that section
investigating complaints against the
wheat carrying roads. Farmers in
many states have reported that the
railroads are preferring other traffic
and that they are unable to get their
grain to market in time to share in
the high prices now being paid in
Minneapolis and Chicago
The commission has issued a circu-
lar asking the grain growers to sub
NIT specific information regarding the
amount Of freight offered for ship
ment and the reasons given for not
transporting it.
Acting on reports submitted by the
interstate commerce commission At
torney General Moody has directed
that suits be brought against large
number of additional railroad compa-
MES to recover penalties for violations
of the safety appliance law through
failure to keep their equipment IN
proper condition. The attorney gen.
cal recently issued a similar order di-
recting suits against a large number
of other roads.
A mass meeting of orange growers
was held at Lindsay Cal, Saturday to
devise ways and means to induce the
Southern Pacific company to furnish
cars for the transportation of oranges
to eastern markets. The car shortage
was considered and it was the unani-
nous opinion that the railroad COM
pany had no excuse for its failure TO
handle the business offered. A COM
mittee was appointed to secure legal
advice and consider the proposition Of
taking the matter before the Interstate
commerce commission so that action
may be taken by congress at once
should the commission find legislation
necessary.

O'Brien Declares 1t is Doing It's Ut.
most for Irish Cause

William O'Brien, member of the
British parliament for Cork, address
ing a nationalist meeting at Castle ISL
and, county Kerry, Sunday declared
there was no split or scandal between
himself and his friends. BY the silent
force of public opinion, the speaker
said, he had caused the Irish party
to return to policy of Cancellation.
If he knew that the present govern
ment could carry the full Gladstonian
home rule program with the present
parliament and that it was cheating
them with a contemplate makeshift
he would be the first TO denounce it.
But he knew the contrary and John
Redmond, the Irish leader. knew it
also. The duty Of the Irish represent
atives, Mr.. O'Brien continued, was to
take counsel with the government and
make the present bill as large as posi-
ole.
