WILL GIVE BACK
HIS COAL LANDS
Hartman Does Not Care to
Be Prosecuted by
Government

Chicago, april 5.-A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington says:
It was learned last night that the
Hartman corporations, whose ramia-
cations extend to coal lands and other
vast interests In the Ear west, are Of
fering to restore to the government
properties they have heretofore claimed
as theirs by good and ample title. They
prefer to do this rather than be prose-
cuted.
Coal lands worth in the aggregate
millions of dollars are to be restored to
the public domain as a result OF recent
activities Of the inter state commerce
commission. The commission several
months ago set about to, investigate
the land frauds In Wyoming, Colorado
and Utah.
Union Pacific capitulates.
AS a result of the Investigations the
department Of commerce was given
transcripts Of testimony taken at Oma-
ha, Salt Lake, Denver and Pueblo by
Interstate Commerce Commissioners
Prouty and Clark and was directed by
the president to prosecute in any cases
where there was ground for prosecu-
ton.
At the first suggestion of prosecution,
however, the Union Pacific coal COM
pany has capitulated. 1t has made a
proposition to the government that it
will return a large area of Wyoming
coal lands to which 1t admits It's title
is worthless. The government law Of
ficers are considering this proposition
and while final action has not been Ia
ken, 1t was learned yesterday on the au-
thority OF men who have been conduct
ing the investigation that 1t will prob
ably be accepted and tire lands returned
to the public doraain.
It is understood on high government
authority that the officers Of the depart
ment Of Justice win give the Utah Fuel
company and the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company a chance to return the lands
in the same manner, and that II they
refuse prosecutions win be commenced
at onca.

Ethics of The Road,

A woman driving from Brattleboro to
Williamsville recently met an automobile
a short distance above the dam at West
Dummerston. Fearing to turn to the
right on account of the embankment she
refined her horse to the left side of the
road and waited for the machine to pass.
"Don't you know" said the automobile
driver before going by, ''that you should
turn to the right?" "Yes," replied
the woman, "but if my horse were fright
e1ed, he would have probably jumped
over the bank in case had turned that
side whereas your machine is not subject
to fear" "Well, I've met fool" be-
gan the automobilist testify, but the wo-
man interrupted him. $50 have |, good
day, sir" she replied, and drove on with
out waiting to continue the argument.

The expected verdict in the celebrated

quittal or disagreement-has been
reached in the form of a clear acquittal,
after majority of the jury had finally
won over minority to its own position.
A monstrous record of crime was piled
up by the prosecution against Haywood,
a mere incident of which was the Steu-
nenberg murder, but the weakness Of the
case against him lay in the character of
the witnesses by whom the state under
took to convict him. The men who I'M
blushingly confessed to crimes far worse
than those alleged against Haywood, and
by whose lips evidence was given against
him for the part he was said to have TAX
Ell in the conspiracies, moved deep cur
rent of resentment that somehow reacted
in Haywood's favor. If these wretches,
be their stories true or false, were to es-
cape the gallows because they ''peached"
on Haywood in order to save their necks,
it was unfair and unjust that he should
die. This may reasonably have been the
