Malon Burgett, the deaf mute

A good sized crowd gathered at the
Novelty theater yesterday afternoon
to hear the returns of the Topeka

to give rain checks but this was be-

knocked down the telegraph wires
and prevented the telegraph com

Of the game except for the last few
innings.
Although the wires were down for

ROOSEVELT'S LETTER.
Read at Closing Session of Public
Lands Convention.

Denver, June 21.-The first public
land convention ever held came to an
end with the adoption of a series of
resolutions which were not so radical
as expected. A letter from President
Roosevelt was a feature of the closing
session. 1t was addressed to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, when it

lows:
There has been placed in my
hands a paper purporting to be issued
by the programme committee of the
public lands convention to be held at
Denver. The preliminary discussion
of the general subject in this paper
contains several statements to which
I desire to call your especial attention
as they not merely misrepresent the
attitude of the administration but
portray that attitude as the direct re-
portray that attitude as the direct re-
''The first and most important of
these misstatementS Is to the effect
that there has been change in the
public land policy of the government
which change will result in depriving
tie the public lands with citizens. This
allegation directly reverses the actual
facts. The course the government is
now pursuing is to carry out the ira
ditional home making policy of the
United States as to its public lands.
The men most interested in opposing
the action of the administration are
themselves endcavoring to upset the
traditional course of the government
and doing all in their power to turn
the public lands over to be exploited
by rich men and powerful corpora
lions whose interests are hostile to
those of the home makers.

withdrawn from settlement to enable
congress to consider a law to protect
the public interest against the great
coal monopolieS, by leasing the right
to mine the public coal Unfortunate
ly congress failed to act in the matter;
and most of the coal lands have been
already restored to entry, while the
remainder are being restored as rap
idly as the necessary extension in the
field can be made.
LAS a matter of actual fact most of
the coal lands have hitherto been
taken under some forms of entry
other than those of the coal entry
laws, and in many cases by actual
fraud. The administration will GER
tainly renew its efforts to get congress
to pass a law which will do away with
the fraud.
A Statement Denied
''The writer's of this programme
state that the plan for government
control of the range submitted to
congress last winter involved the per-
petual ownership of the lands by the
government. This statement is not in
accord with the facts. This proposed
law specifically provided that the
range land under government control
should be open to entry or location
under all of the public land laws and
provided in every way for the protec-
ton of the rights of the settler. AS a
matter of fact one of the prime rea-
sons for advocating its passage is be-
cause If enacted it will safeguard the
rights of the home maker on the pub
lie range far more effectively than
they are now safeguarded. and would
make settlement easier and safer than
1t can possibly be under present con-
ditions. AS to the forest reserves,
their creation has damaged just one
class; the managers and owners of
great lumber companies which by IL
legal, fraudulent or unfair methods,
have desired to get possession of the
valuable timber of the public domain,
to skin the land, and to abandon it
