REPORT ON TERRITORY LANDS
Senate Committee Recommends Sale of
Great Coal Tract

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-The select
committee of the Senate appointed dur
ing the last session of Congress to in
vestigate conditions in Indian Terri
tory made its report today through it's
chairman. Senator Clark of Wyoming.
The committees recommendations in
brief are as follows:
That the surface of the 100000 acres of coal
lands segregated in 1902 be sold. but that the
mineral rights be indefinitely retained the
property of the Indians.
That all restrictions be removed from the sur
plus lands of all citizens of the five civilized
tribes except miners
That the restrictions as to homesteads of the
members of the tribes who are not Of American
blood. including intermarried whites and freed
men, be removed.
That the restrictions on the homesteads of
Indians of either full mixed blood should be
retained.
That. with reference to oil and gas leases. the
regulation requiring a deposit of $1,000 by
leasers should be modified or dispensed with !;
that leases may be allowed without requiring the
consent Of the Secretary OF the Interior and
that the Senate tribunal In the Territory be au-
thorized to perform this service and that the
regulations governing pipe lines be so modi-
fed as to permit the construction of lines.
The surface land in the 500 600 acre coal land
segregation is estimated to be worth from $40
to Sl5 an acre and the mineral rights from s.
to $40 acre. On the question of the disposal
of this tract. which has been the subject of
much comment. the committee recommends that
immediate action be taken by Con-
gress as to the leasing or sale of the mineral in
said lands, but that immediate steps be taken
to provide for the sale Of the surface of said
segregation for the best price obtainabe. in
tracts not exceeding 160 acres each, to bona fde
settlers, reserving from the a sufficient
amount of surface for the necessary outside
works, building and operation of mines.
The committee expresses it's convic-
tion that by dealing thus separately
with the surface and the mineral the
best price could be obtained for the
owners and that the best results would
accrue to the State and it's people"
The committee believes that Secre-
tary Hitchcock's withdrawal of land
for forest purposes was without au-
thority OF law.

by the lack of railway equipment and
the delay in moving unloaded cars The
appeal was presented by the executive
committee OF the National Reciprocal
Demurrage convention recently held at
Chicago, headed by Victor H Beckman
of Seattle, chairman
The appeal said that the lumber
trade, while the commodity was one
of the heaviest contributors to railroad
revenue, had been perhaps the chief
sufferer from inadequate transporta-
ton facilities 1t was regarded that
properly framed Federal legislation
with due regard to the operating ques-
ton involved and the respective rights
of the public and common carrier would
afford relief in short time

matter UP with the committee again

FRENCH PRELATES
ARE DIVIDED

PARIS, Jan. l6.-The French episco-
pate continued today I'm session at the
Chateau de Lameutte. The Cardinals,
Archbishop and Bishops are divided
into distinct parties-ultramonta
who are irreconcilable and determined
TO persevere IN the effort TO compel the
state TO negotiate for a settlement with
the Vatican, and whose organ is the
CroiN. which openly advocates as the
only means Of possible victory the or
ganization of a political campaign by
the Catholics. under the kdership Of
the clergy in order to sed8re a change
in the Governments attitude. and lib
erals. or more liberaI-minded prelates.
who believe that the high dignitaries
OF the French church should do every
thing not specially interdicted by the
Pope in order to maintain religious
peace.
The latter consider that it is neces-
sary to reckon with public opinion,
which they believe will condemn open
rebellion, especially as the Govern
ment continues to affirm its desire not
10 close the churches, and accuses the
episcOpate Of obeying the suggestions
Of the reactiOnary political parties
As the Pope's condemnation only
covers the separation Of church and
state law and the new BRAND law
amending the separation measure, the
liberals favor taking advantage OF the
law Of 1901 to form cultural associa-
tions under the common law
The Catholic papers. however, be-
lieve that the ultramontaines are in
the majority.
owing to the secrecy under which
the proceedings OF the episcopate are
conducted II is difficult 10 obtain in
formation, but il is understood that a
majority Of the Bishops uphold the
ultramontaine view, which is not in
favor Of attempting to bring the church
within the law and which even goes
so far as TO allow the general eXpul-
sion OF the clergy from the churches as
a final resort to the private exercise Of
religion On the other hand, many Of
the prelates desire TO seize any per-
rnissfble means TO carry on public wor-
ship.
II is reported that the irreconcilables
finally dominated the opinion Of the
meeting.

AssAILs POWDER MONOPOLY
Gaines Speaks in House ON the Patents
on Explosives

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Smokeless
powder patents were again under dis
cussion today in the House. Repre-
sentative Gaines of Tennessee told of
how Professor Monroe had patented
the smokeless powder process, having
discovered il while filling the chair Of
chemistry at the Naval Academy and
also said a patent was taken out by
John r. Bernardau. while the latter
was commanding officer in the navy.
Gaines quoted the Supreme Court de-
cision in the Gill and Solomon cases
that patent taken out by an officer
for discovery made by him in the line
of duty belongs to the Government
Monroe, he stated, had turned over his
patent TO the United States, and yet it
was today in the hands of a great pow
der monopoly, 'and the Government is
in the grasp OF that monopoly"
So far as Gaines could find out, Bar
nardou had not turned his patent over
to the Government.

SON Of CABRERA
To BECOME A
YANKEE
Scion of the President of
Guatemala an Applicant
for American Citizenship
LOVE FOR BERKELEY
GIRL THE CAUSE
Youth Prefers Gay Life
of San Francisco to a
Career Amid Revolutions

Forswearing his allegiance TO the
land of senoritas and revolutions
Diego Estrada Cabrera. oldest son OF
President Manuel Estrada Cabrera of
Guatemala, has made application Tor
American citizenship. The gay life OF
San Francisco has greater attractions
for him than a doubtful political ca
reer in a country where a man may be
either elected dictator or shot dead in
his tracks, as fortune dictates. Young
Cabrera's name has been posted in the
County Clerks office and his petition
for naturalization papers will be heard
on February 2S. In his application for
citizenship he says that he was born
in Guatemala and came to California
on August Is. 1900. His sponsor is E.
G. Fritz of 101 Frederick street.
In his application the youth gives his
name as Jose ID. z. Cabrera, although
when he arrived here he was known as
Diego Cabrera. The change is eX-
planned by the fact that in Berkeley,
where Cabrera attends school, the stu
dents corrupted his first name into
"Dago." 1t is his desire to rid himself
of the nickname.
1t was not long after his arrival here
that young Cabrera developed a fond
ness for all things American. He liked
the American theaters. he liked Ameri-
can sports and he liked American girls.
In Guatemala he found il irksome to
MI the part of a Presidents son. He
was bored by state ceremonials and
prevailed upon his father 10 send him
to America to complete his education.
Since his arrival here he has learned
more rapidly than his father desired.
He has studied art at the ringside and
on both sides of the footlights. He
prefers a good game of football to a
revolution. 1t may not last quite so
long he says, but the casualties are
just as great
1t is not recorded that he has taken
his parent into the secret and there
is much evidence to show that it was
not intended that his father should learn
Of his altered allegiance until he had
duly enrolled himself under the stars
and stripes.
President Cabrera has just entered
upon a new term of eight years. He
has run everything in the country, in
cluding his son, with a high hand. He
is as powerful in Guatemala as ever
Caesar was in Rome
There is a story to the effect that
young Cabrera's act was prompted by
the remark of a Berkeley beauty, to
whom he offered his hand, that she
could wed only an American.

HAU MURDER CASE
LETTERS FROM MOLITOR FAM
ILY FURNISH LIGHT.

KARLSRUHE, August 20.-Members Of
the Molitor family have published several
letters intended to break down the efforts
of Karl Haus counsel to find evidence ex-
culpating him of the charge of numbering
his mother-in-law, Frau Molitor The let
ters throw light upon the case as regarded
by the defense. Prior to the trial, DR..
Dietz. counsel for the prisoner, wrote to
Hau's wife, April u, saying:
LAS matters stand today there Is no
hope of acquittal."
DR.. Dietz added that he hoped the opinion
of Prof. Aschaefenburger of Cologne, the
expert in mental disease, would set forth
that Hau was responsible for MS acts
only in a diminished degree, and that the
jury would render verdict denying
he committed the murder with pre-
meditation"
..,,Her letter, from Prof Aschuefen-
burger to Hau's wife, expressed the hope
that expert opinions would tend to show
that the prisoner was mentally unsound,
adding:
1T would be great relief to you if
you could think back upon your husband
with the consciousness that he committed
the awful deed in consequence of a men
tai disease"
DR.. Dietz announced that during the
trial Prof. Aschaefenburger wrote to
him that he was fully convinced that Hau
was innocent.
