Large Holdings Of Coal Land in Wv
om'ng, Colorado and Utah Offer
ed to Government in Hope of Es-
Gaping Prosecution - Land Worth
Millions.

Washington, April At was learned
tonight that the Hartman corporations
whose ramifications extend to coal land
ana other vast interests in the Far
west, are Offering to restore to the gov

lore claimed as theirs by good and am
pie title. They prefer to do this rather
than be prosecuted.
Coal land worth in the aggregate mil.
lions of dollars is to be restored 70 the
public domain, as a result of the recent
activities of the Interstate Commerce
commission. The commission several
months ago inv yestigated the land frauds
IN Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. It
was found that this whole section was
honeycombed with corruption and its
reports indicated that the general land

petent or worse in permitting the rail. |

ratIons, the Union Pacific Coal com
pany, the Utah Fuel company and the
COLORADO Fuel 4 Iron company to Sc
cure, by various and devious methods
control OF great areas of the richest coal
land in the West.
The Union Pacific Coal Company is A
subsidiary corporation of the Union
racine Railroad company. All the
stock of the coal company, except
qualifying shares for directors is owned {
by the railroad company. The Goa
company secured control of large
amount of scrip and used it to secure I
entry of land, which was rich in the a
hnest bituminous coal of the Wyoming
field.
As it is the coal company is anxious
TO return the valuable land to the gov
arnment and end the matter. But the
matter VIII not be allowed to end
here While there is no possible de- p
ense to the title under which this scrip 8

'ery valuable, constitutes only small II
