cation by the secret agents of the in
terror department for more than three
Years. These secret agents have un-
earthed startling evidence showing
that the public domain has literally
been looted by corporations who have
been protected in their operations by
United States senators and federal Of
ficials.
Most of the lands acquired by the So
called cOnspirators were timber tracts
in the west, of which hundreds OF
thousands of acres have been taken
from the public domain.
How Frauds Were Worked.
In some instances the services of
dummy" cntrynen were utilized for
the purpose. In others the title was
obtained through the use of lieu land
scrip.
In obtaining the conviction of the
men said to be involved the govern
ment expects to regain possession of
large areas of forest land. some of
which have been i'll the hands OF lum-
bcr operators for many years Much
of the land. it is understood, has not
yet been cut over.
1t is admitted by certain officials that
in number of instances the offenders
viii be immune from criminal prosecu-
ton owing to the fact that the statute
of limitatiolrNill apply. but in all such
cases the title of the Land will revert
to the government, as conclusive proof
is in the hands of the officials invalida-
ting the titles of the holders.

FOR FINISH FIGHT
L. Y. Sherman's Refusal of 40
pointment Means Bitter
Political Contest.
DECLARES SELF FOR CANNON
Lieutenant Governor Feels That he
Has Been Grievously SIighted
by the President.

Springfield, H., May 2i.-Lieutenant
Governor l.. Y. Sherman, who yester-
day refused the place on the Spanish
claims commission to which President
Roosevelt had appointed him. last night
declared himself for Speaker Cannon
for president, saying:
Il am willing to so with Speaker
Cannon as far as the brush is cut and
then to help cut the brush for him.
Shermans refusal of a $4,000 a year
place under Roosevelt and his declara-
ton for Cannon is taken to presagc a
finish fight in the state against the
Roosevelt policies.
"Gcts Even" with Roosevelt.
At the same time Sherman has, in Il
measure. evencd up with the president
for numerous Sights which he thinks
have been cast upon him.
During fair week q year ago, when
nearly all the state politicians were
gathered in Springfield Sherman was
told that Joseph w. Fifer was about to
resign from the interstate commerce
commission, and that he could have the
place if he would accept it. Sherman
said if the tender came from President
Roosevelt he would seriously cOnsid-
er its acceptance.
Politician barred.
Then a short paragraph of news came
from Washington to the effect that
President Roosevelt desired a lawyer
and not a politician. for the place on
the interstate commerce commission
This sighting imputation cut Sher-
man To the quick. because he is known
everywhere as a lawyer of ability and
one whose love for his profession is
unsurpassed. Sherman set about to get
even. and now. with RooscveIts name
signed to a commission that he de
clincs to accept. he believes he cannot
be classed as disgruntlcd office seek
or and that he is free TO make a fight
in the state for Cannon.

Question.

New York, May 2l.-'It is perhaps
safe to say that there is no more strik-
ing example in this country of the dan
gerous and harmful possibilities of Il
great corporation than that which is
now being afforded by the United
States steel corporation in its attitude
toward demands for sound rails"
This is the opening statement of Il
most drastic arraignment of the steel
corporation which is made in the cur
rent issue OF the Railroad Gazette IN
an article entitled For Better Rails"
Leading Railroad journal.
The Gazette is one of the leading rail
road and technical journals of this
country and of Europe. 1t is publishC!
in this city and III London, and i'll bOUn
countries it has a wide circulation ana
wiClds a powerful influence. In dealing
with the question the publication does
not mincc words and calls things by
their right names when occasion re-
quires.
There is no individual or COmbinl-
tiOn of individuals" the article cOntin-
Ucs, which knows better how to make
good rail than does the United State;
steel corporation with its splendid army
of experts. Nevertheless, it knowingly
makes rails which break and kill peo
pie The tops Of the ingots are not be
! ing cropped off below the point where
| high phosphorus and impurities are
| found"
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-05-24

The statement of Mr. Schwab to the
effect that rails are manufactured from
specifications prepared and presented
by the railroad companies themselves
is thus dealt with:
specifications as furnished by the
railroad companies are totally disrC-
gardcd, and rails especially in the new
and heavier sections, are furnished with
spots in them so full of impurities and
so brittle that they must necessarily
break when subjected to the strain of
traffic The steel company knows this
quite well. The steel company declines
to take cognizanco of the fact because
this would mean considerable reduc-
tion in the output, although no impor-
tant loss in material"
