AGAINST LAND LEASING.
Montana Cattiemen's Association Dc.
clarcs Against the Presidents
Plan,

The Roundup Association of Mon
tana Cattlemen, composed Of about
200 of the leading cattlemen of
northern Montana, have indorsed
resolutions at Great Falls opposing
the presidents plan Of leasing the
public domain to stockmen. Their
resolution is as follows:
Resolved. That this association
does not approve of leasing any part
Of the public domain and that 1t Is
distinctly and unqualifiedly opposed
to the permit system. which II re-
CARDS as being detrimental to the well
fare Of the establishment of resi-
dents of western states and in effect
would amount to taking an unwar-
ranted liberty with our rights and
privileges as American citizens.

Cannot Offer Immunity.

Another thing-the secretary of
the interior cannot legally offer i'm
munity to anyone who has violated the
law. Reports that he has offered i'm
munity to the people involved in the
$500 acres returned to the Union Pa
cific Coal company are absurd, be-
cause he could not give such immun-
ity were he to desire to do so. He
discovers evidence in a given case of
law violation; he forwards the evi-
dence to the department of justice
with recommendations as to what is
wise, and the matter thence forward
rests with the other department.; this
department has absolutely nothing to
do with It."

No Let Up and No Immunity.

Washington, May 29.-"You may
say that the administration now is
working to harmonize the action of the
Interior department and the depart
ment of justice in the matter of the
land fraud prosecutions; and that the
effort is to be even more intense to
prevent the commission of crimss
against the public domain"
Assistant Attorney General Wood
ruff, who is assigned to the interior
department, thus answered the fol-
lowing query put to him by your cor
respondent:
"Mr. Attorney General, in the west
there is more or less of wonderment at
what is reported to be the govern
ment's intention not to prosecute
criminally the officers of the Union
Pacific Coal company. who by recon-
veying $500 acres of coal land recently
acknowledged that they had obtained
II improperly. Can you say anything
on that subject?"
Mr.. Woodruff talked at length, go
Ing over the situation thoroughly, and
citing many hypothetical and as well
as actual cases involving the issue set
forth in the query. He said in part:
AT this time the government is in
dustriously employed in bringing clos
er together the two departments men,
toned, and it is the purpose to arrange
so that they will work in more perfect
harmony. ] personally know this to
be true. At no time has the govern
ment been so determined that all vio-
lations shall be punished. There will
be no discrimination, no making flesh
of one and fowl of the other Prepar-
ations are under way on a scale larger
than any heretofore, TO compel oh
servance of the law in acquiring pub
lie lands. Many matters now not
known to the people are under con-
sideration. Cases heretofore merely
mentioned in the newspapers are to
be pushed, and others brought to the
attention of the government are being
thorOughly investigated

Jerome objected that Mrs. Thaw

Delmas threw more light upon the
program Of the defence than al any
time since the trial opened in tryine
to get in Mrs. Thaw's statement as
to how she learned the identity of
Evelyn as the victim Of stanford
White.
Delmas virtually asked the court n
declare there was a legal presumption
that Thaw was insane from June 1903
until August 1906
The defence's experts while declaring
Thaw was insane at periods during th'
years were careful TO state he mifhi

put the issue that the court should
declare Thaw was legally insane during
the entire period between the time he
had heard Evelyn's story I'm Paris ant

heights. These boys shot and killed
