WILL AVOID PROSECUTION
Corporations to Restore Coal
Lands to Public Domain.

Chicago, April 5.-A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington says.
II is learned that the Hartman cor
poraticns, whose ramifications extend
to coal lands and other vast interests
In the Far West, are offering to re-
store to the government properties
they have heretofore claimed as theirs
by good and ample title. They prefer
to do this rather than be prosecuted.
Coal lands worth In the aggregate
millions Of dollars are to be restored
to the public domain as result OF
recent activities Of the interstate COM
merce commission. The commission
several months ago set about to in.
vestigate the land frauds In Wyoming,
Colorado end Utah.
AS result OF its Investigations the
department of justice was given trans
cripts of testimony taken at Omaha,
Salt Lake, Denver and Pueblo by In
terstate Commerce Commissioners
Prouty and Clark and was directed by
the president to prosecute in any cases
where there was ground for prosecu-
tion.
At the first suggestion OF prosecu-
tion, however, the Union Pacific Coal
company has capitulated. 1t has made
4 proposition to the government that
It will return large area OF wy
oming coal lands to which 1t admits
its title Is worthless. The govern.
ment law officers are considering this
proposition and while final action has
not been taken 1t is learned on the
authority Of men who have been con-
ductirg the investigation that 1t will
probably be accepted and the lands
returned to the public domain.
It is understood on high govern
mept authority that the officers at the
department of justice will give the
Utah Fuel company and the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company chance TO
return the lands In the same manner
and that If they refuse prosecutions
will be commenced at once.

SCORE DEAD IN FIRE
Italian Hotel at San Francisco
Scene Of Catastrophe.
BUILDING BURNS LIKE TINDER
Most of the Victims, Who Were of
the Laborlno Glass, Were Caught
While Asleep and Burned to Death
Before Rescuers Reached the Scene.

San Francisco, April 5.-Twenty
persons were burned to death and
twenty seriously injured In fire
which destroyed an Italian hotel at
Seventeenth and Connecticut streets,
In the Potrero district.
The victims were of the laboring
class and were asleep in their rooms
when the fire started. Before they
could be aroused the flames had spread
through the building. The walls fell
and the inmates were buried in the
ruins, twenty being taken out dead
and dying. People from other hotels
in the vicinity rushed to the assist
once of the buried victims and sue
ceeded In rescuing all of them, 1t Is
believed, from the flaming timbers.
Teams were hurriedly harnessed and
automobiles brought into service and
the injured were rushed to the Po-
trero emergency hospital, where sew
era, died while awaiting treatment.
The fire that destroyed the hotel is
believed to have started In the kitchen
and had gained great headway before
It was discovered. There were over
100 dodgers In the building, which
burned like tinder, and most OF those
who lost their lives were caught while
asleep and roasted to death. So rap
Idly did the fire spread that 1t was
impossible to do much In the way of
rescue and even when the fire depart
mert arrived the blaze was SO fierce
that the firemen were hardly able to
place ladders against the walls. They
did, however. manage to save num-
her OF PEOPLE on the top story.

baCJNC t~ptfi!isiSStS.is
Washington, April 5.--Arguments in
the famous Hartman case, which was
heard by the interstate commerce
commission q few weeks ago In New
sion here. The proceedings are not
In the nature of hearing, but merely
an argument involving the question
whether the Union and Southern Pa
cific roads are competing lines. In
his testimony before the commission
In New York r.. f. Hartman insisted
that the two lines were not compet-
Ing lines.
Mr. Harriman's side of the case was
presented by John G. Milburn and r.
s. Lovett, SO far as the Southern Pa
ciflc Is concerned, and by Paul ID.
Cravath. who, it is expected, will ex-
plain the deal respecting the Chicago
and Alton railroad which was brought
out at the New York hearing. The
interstate commerce commission Is
represented by its special attorneys,
Frank B. Kellogg and c. A. Severance.
On the result of the arguments may
depend whether Mr.. Hartman and his
associates are to be prosecuted as a
combination in restraint of trade un-
der the provisions Of the Sherman
antitrust law. When on the stand In
New York Mr.. Hartman declined, by
advice OF counsel, to answer certain
inquiries put to him by the commits
sion concerning the transfer Of GER
tain Union Pacific stock. It has not
been determined yet whether the COM
mission will endeavor to force Mr..
Hartman, through proceedings In the
United States courts, to answer those
questions or not
