LAND GRABBERS
FEDERAL Tolls

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 19.-The
government has commenced to lay Its
heavy hand upon those who have been
illegally engaged in fencing in the
public domain. The first to feel the
force of the government crusade
against the violators of the law are
William P. McFarlane and the Wy
oming Cattle company, against whom
suits have been entered in the United
States court here
For over year past a cloud of spe-
cial agents has been gathering evf-
dence against the companies and in
divduals who have intruded upon the
public domain and fenced it off for
their own use.
It is said a mass of evidence has
been gathered and that several scores
of stock raisers will be brought into
court and made to pay the penalty for
the r tr1nsgressions. The violation OF
this law * made criminal as well as
the basis of civil action, and it Is ru-
mored that where there has been flag
rant abuse of the public domain the
culprts will be prosecuted criminally
as we'll as being sued civlly.

WILL STUDY
SHIPYAROS

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-Secretary
MetcaR will leave Washington June 20
for san Francisco, where he intends
to study conditions In shipyards with
special reference to naval construc-
ton. The fact that existing labor COM
ditions on the Pacific coast and the
high price of material make 1t impos-
sible for shipbuilders there to compete
for government contracts with eastern
shipyards has given serious concern
to the hawai- development. While In
congress Secretary Metcalf strongly
resisted the abolition of the differen-
tial of per cent formerly allowed
in favor of Pacific coast shipbuilders'
and it is probable that if his investiga-
ton shows the percentage fairly rep
resents the difference between the east
and west a strong appeal will be made
to re-estaolish the differential.

SEVEN KILLED
TWO INJURED

SCRANTON, Pa, June 19.-Seven
men were killed outright and two 9TH
ers seriously injured in two explosions
of mine gas in the Johnson mine at
Priceburg late yesterday afternoon.
The. first explosion which occurred
about 8 O'Clock was caused by the
carelessness of a door tender who by
leaving the door open allowed gas to
accumulate in the workings. One man
was injured as a result of this explo-
sion. The second explosion, which re-
suited i'm the death of seven men and
the injury of another, resulted from
the ignition of the deadly fire damp
which accumulated after the first eX-
plosion.
About 1900 men work in the mine
No account was kept of those who had
come out before the explosion and 1t is
impossible to determine until the res
cuers return if the death list Is COM

Be Known

ALBANY, n. Y, June 19.--Governor
Hughes yesterday signed the New York
CITY recount bill. .uroviding for a re-
count and canvass by judicial process
of the ballots cast for mayor at the
last election in New York. Governor
Hughes says:
TT is we'll known to all who were
Of New York that there is widespread
doubt as to the accuracy of the Off
cial canvass. The failure to resolve
that doubt and determine in prompt
and decisive manner satisfactory to all
fair minded citizens the results of the
election will result in a grave scandal:
The denial of all relief either under
the existing law or through approprl-
ate legislation for the ascertainment
of the fact whether the votes had been
lawfully counted as cast has brought
our law into contempt and created
grievance shared by many thousands
of our fellow citizens.
IF the result of this recanvass is
to establish the election of Mayer Nc
CIellan 1t will largely re-establish con-
fidence in our election methods and
make the more unlikely the recurrence
of a similar situation.
"If on the other hand. the recan-
| yass should show that Mr.. Hearst wal
elected every fair-minded citizen
whatever his political convictions
would rejoice that the fear of estab
fishing a precedent does not preven
the righting of wrong"

That was when conditions were diff

extraordinary effort to swell the
