Reeder fought the lieu selec-
ton clause of the homestead act,
under which railroad companies
were trading some of the unfa-
vorably situated sections secured
in their grant for lands covered
by timber of high value or con-
tanning rich deposits of coal.
This clause was repealed in 1904.
He has also waged relentless war
on the abuses of the timber and
stone act and other public land
laws, under which the develop
ment of vast resources is being
so rapidly centralized in the
hands of a few large companies.
Nearly One-half of the eigh hun
dred million acres of public land
is situated in Alaska, and the
balance scattered throughout
twenty five states and territories.
Nine States, Nevada, Montana,
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wy
oming, California, Idaho and
Colorado, contain over 20 million
acre each, and seven more, Ore
gon South Dakota, Washington,
Nebraska. North Dakota. Min
nesota and Arkansas, contain
from nearly 2 million down to
two million each. A great deal of
this land contains coal, but prior
to last October the coal lands
were rapidly being secured by
private interests, when the preSi
dent stepped in and reserved go
million acres as a guarantee of
future supply. That these lands
and nearly as much more could
be mined under lease, the Cover
nment retaining control and re-
ceiving nominal return, has
been clearly demonstrated in the
rental of the rich mines of In
dian Territory, where the mine
operators pay the Indians 6 to 8
cents ton royalty.
Mr. Reeder's strong appeal on
the floor of the house for revi-
sion of the land laws a speech
that filed IA pages of the Con-
gressional Record, is well rem
embered. That speech was made
on April Is, 1904, when it was
not so popular as now to oppose
the ingenious financier who con-
trary to the spirit of the land
laws, were getting together small
empires, the richest of timber
and coal and grazing lands,
through the employment of
pseudo homesteaders. Some
public men who opposed them
lost their political heads. And
who is responsible for this
change in sentiment? The Presi-
dent? Aye, but not he alone.
We're it not for the moral support
of just such men as Reeder, who
could not be deceived or Swayed
from their sworn duty to their
constituents and the nation by
the temptation to participate in
the division of spoils land ten
years ago it was counted almost
shiftless not to look up and lay
by few thousand acres up
northwest for rainy day. the
splendid reforms inaugurated by
President Roosevelt would have
been impossible.

Delegation Returns in High
Spirits Over the Defeat
of Atlanta
EVERYBODY INTERESTED
IN GREAT IRON CENTER
Sentiment In Washington Indicates
That the Matter viii Be Settled at
This Session and Birmingham
Will Be the Victor.

The Birmingham sub-treasury delega-
ton which went to washington a week
ago returned last night jubilant over
the manner in which Blrminghams claims
were received.
1t must be confessed too that much of
the committees hilarity was the result
of Atlantas discontinue. Such victory
over Atlanta is sweet to the loyal sons
of Birmingham.
The delegation which returned last night
was composed of former Governor Joseph
F. Johnston, Charles ]. Allison and e.
w. Barrett of Birmingham and g. W.
Pratt of Pell City. The party was de-
layed many hours by a freight wreck
just south of Chattanooga Thursday
night. The members will make formal
report on their trip today to Chairman w.
P. G. Harding and the officers of the
Commercial club.
First Battle Won.
The vote of the congressional caucus
in Washington last Monday afternoon,
selecting Birmingham was the first great
step toward success. The Georgia delega-
ton, foreseeing deefat, withdrew from
this caucus and Birmingham received the
vote of the entire delegations from the
southeastern states interested.
The matter is now before the ways and
means committee of the House of Repre-
sentatlves, and though the Georgia dele
CATION is making strenuous fight be-
fore the committee to have the recommen-
dation of the caucus dsregarded the
Birmingham delegation has reason to be-
lieve that large majority of the com
mittee will stand by Birmingham.
The Atlanta delegation went before
the ways and means committee with
many figures and statements that were
incorrect and misleading as to the rel
alive Importance of the two cities but
these we're substantially counteracted by
tho local delegation.
ira gentlemen from Atlanta attempted
to show the committee that the value
OF manufactured products in Birming-
ham was only 100000 per annum, but
the claim was shown to be absurd In the
face of an annual pay roll in Birming-
ham of $4,000, 900.

STANDARD TRUST IS
ALLEGED BANKRUPT
Petition Filled In Federal Court Asking
That a Receiver Be
Appointed.

In the United States district court yes
terday petition was filed by Ben Tupelo,
B. J. Mitchell G. T. Evans, Frank Moor
man, Jesse Strauss, w. A. Wallace and
others, citizens of Cincinnati, alleging
that the Standard Trust company was
bankrupt and had committed an act Of
bankruptcy by turning over $4,000 of
its funds to its officers without any Sc
curlty.
The petitioners further allege that the
corporation is engaged in business
which is illegal and is in the nature of a
lottery; that it purports to have been or
ganized in the state of Delaware, but
never did any business there. and that 1t
has collected large sums Of money and
has transferred or concealed same; that
It has $4,000 on deposit in the First Ma
tional bank of Birmingham.
The petitioners pray that a receiver be
appointed to take possession OF the as
sets of the company and the First Ma
tional bank be made party to the suit
and enjoined from paying out whatever
money 1t has on deposit belonging to the
company.
The case is set for hearing January 26.
