LANDS FOR THE People

The announcement from the gem
eral land once at Washington that
more than 100000 acres Of land.
heretofore temporarily withdrawn
for inclusion in national forest re-
serves, have been released and will
be opened for settlement at an early
date is another proof OF the favorable
attitude of the federal government
towards the promotion of the agri-
cultural settlement of the country.
In the pursuance of wise policy
of preventing, so far as possible, the
still remaining timbered section IF
the country from falling into the
hands of the big corporations that
are striving to get all of the valuable
forests within their grasp, the gov
eminent has, under the power vested
in it, temporarily withdrawn several
million acres of lands until careful
inspection can be made of their tim
Der value or of their adaptability to
agriculture.
AS soon as it is shown that any
tract is better fitted for agriculture
than for inclusion in a forest reserve
it has been the policy of the govern
ment to release the lands and open
them for settlement The large ex-
tent to which their has just been
done in La Grande, The Dalles and
other Oregon districts is evidence of
the sincerity of the federal admins
tration in it's professed' interest in
the welfare of actual settlers. Other
areas have been similarly opened in
the past and there are probably more
on the withdrawn list that will later
on be released. While the govern
ment is wisely guarding the forests
from the encroachpents of timber
barons, it is also doing all that it can
to provide homes for the homeseek-
ers.-Spokes

ENGINEERS HAVE
DARING SCHEME
Seek Franchise to Build Railroad to
Top Of High Mountain at an
Expense of 100000
Francs
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
GENEVA, Feb. 25-A daring en-
gineering scheme Is attracting much
attention here Two engineers, well
known for their work in building
mountain roads, have applied to the
federal council to grant them fran
chise for the construction of a railway
from Zermatt to the top of the Matter
horn. The scheme consists of two sec
tions, the first cog and ratchet track
from the Viege-Zermatt depot to the
through the Hoernli peak.
The second section comprises two
funiculaires from the refuge station to
the summit '5052 metres), the latter be-
ing constructed in a tunnel with a
gradient of So to 80 per cent.
The whole system is to be worked
electrically and the promoters propose
to construct buildings at the summit
sufficient to accommodate certain
number of visitors, including, If feas-
ible, a compressed air room for per-
sons who suffer mountain sickness.
1t Is estimated that it will require
four years to construct the railroad and
will cost ten million francs. The jour
ney from Zermatt to the summit will
require one hour and fifty minutes and
will cost fifty francs. AT present the
ascent takes twenty-four hours and the
charges for guides amount to 18 francs
AlpinistS are bitterly opposing the
scheme on the ground that 1t would
make one OF the finest and most diff
cult peaks in Switzerland accessible tc
every Cooks tourist and the Friboure
and Berne sections of the Alpine club
have already issued appeals for public
support to oppose its consummation.

WOMAN ARRESTED
ON THEFT CHARGE
Is Accused of Stealing $4,000 Worth of
JeWeIry and Checks from Room
of a Man She Had
Massaged

Mrs. Ella Cavnaugh, pretty dark
eyed woman about 25 years of age, was
arrested by Detectives Hosick and
Zeigler last night, charged with steal
ing more than $4,000 worth of jewels
and securities from the room of ]. c.
Smith, 322 South Spring street, early
yesterday morning.
Smith reported to the police yester-
day that he had been robbed of dia-
mond ring valued at $500, a watch and
chain valued at $410 and $1,000 in checks.
He told the officers he had stopped pay
ment on the checks and that it was
probable the thief could be arrested
when an effort was made to cash
them.
Detectives were detailed on the case
and it was learned that woman, said
to be Mrs. CaVnaugh, had been in
Smiths room the previous night and
gave him massage and alcohol bath.
Officers at once instituted search for
this woman with the result she was
found last night on South Spring street.
She was taken to the police station,
where she was closely questioned. Mrs.
CaVnaugh is said to have admitted
that she was present in Smiths room,
but denied taking the jewels. She was
locked up on suspicion.
Smith is an oil well owner and is
visiting in Los Angeles from Pennsyl-
Vania, where he is said to be prominent
in political affairs.
1t was at first reported that porch
climbers had stolen the Valuables and
Smith was quoted as saying he had
been awakened by man leaving the
room.

ADAMS LAWYER
MAKES NEW
MOVE
RY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WALLACE, Idaho, Feb. 25.-On the
resumption of the Adams trial this
afternoon and Immediately before the
jury had taken places in the court
room, Mr.. E. F. Richardson moved that
the jury be instructed to return a Ver-
dict for the defendant for the follow
ing reasons:
First, because the testimony rela-
tive to the death of Fred Tyler is not
sufficient to establish for the considera-
tion of the jury that Fred Tyler, as a
matter of fact is dead, and second, for
the reason though it should be suffi-
cient to establish that Fred Tyler came
to his death by reason of the commits
sion of 81 felony upon his person in his
| lifetime, and third, for the reason that
the evidence clearly demonstrates that
the so-called confession or confessions
| of Steve Adams. the defendant in this
case. were of such character and given
under such circumstances that they
were the result of fear and hope in
stilled into his mind by the person or
persons securing the confession"
Motion Is Denied
The motion was denied and an ex-
ception asked for and allowed.
Clarence S. Darrow then made the
opening address in behalf of the de-
fense, the jury having been called into
the room. He gave a sketch of Adams
life and his connection with the West
ern Federation, describing conditions
in Marble Greek and the advent of
claim jumpers.
He showed how they located and
placed a cabin on the claim owned by
Simpkins and how they stayed there
until August T. when Adams attended
birthday party at Mason's cabin on
August 7, and how Adams changed his
name to Steve Dixson until he
thought all Marble Creek trouble had
blown over.
Darrow detailed all of Adams move
ments in the Marble Greek district up
to August 8. when he left by boat for
Spokane He returned to st. Joe about
August II and stayed with Glover un-
til about August 20.

IMPETUS FOR
SHIP SUBSIDY
Final Action to Be Taken on Measure
Before Adjournment-Report
on the Indian Bill
Adopted
By Associated Press.

by Associated fTeSS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Ship sub
sidy secured marked impetus today in
the house, which just before adjourn
ment adopted a rule that will probably
insure the passage by the house of the
Littauer substitute for the senate bill
and result before the final adjournment
in positive legislation.
The rule was reported by Mr.. Dalzell
in the shape of a resolution providing
that the compromise bill shall be con-
sidered with debate limited to five
hours, and that the final vote shall be
taken not later than next Friday after
noon at O'Clock.
The rule was adopted by a vote of 1853
to 122, tWenty-four Republicans voting
with the Democrats in opposition to the
rule. The rule was agreed upon uneX-
pectedly by the rules committee at a
meeting held after the visit of Secretary
Root to the capitol, and 1t was very
generally understood that the adminis-
tration was responsible for the commit
tees action.
The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill was adopted, as was
the conference report on the bill provid-
ing for the allotment and distribution
of Indian tribal funds.

VIGOROUS FIGHT
TO SAVE THE
CAPITAL
BY Associated Press.


SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.-Sacramen-
to tonight made vigorous fight before
the joint Legislative committees on pub
lie buildings and grounds against the
removal of the capital to Berkeley. Fol-
lowing the legislatures visit to the
university town last Saturday to view
the proposed new site, the Berkeley ad-
vocates were quick to take advantage
of the good impression made and were
busy today urging the passage Of the
bill introduced last week.
Louis Titus of Berkeley and the Ala
media county delegation in the legis-
lature went before the joint committees
at a meeting tonight, which lasted until
midnight. Sacramento, thoroughly
aroused to, the danger of losing the
capital was also well represented to
combat the arguments Of the Berkeley
enthusiasts.
Titus denied the statement that real
estate speculation was the motive that
actuated and started the movement.
He dwelt on the beauties of the site,
the advantages of the location, the
greater convenience to state officers and
the greater number of people who would
be benefited if the seat of state govern
ment was located in Berkeley.
Terms 1t Economy
MI. llUuS InOuSHJ II WOulu ne ScOu-
omy to stop repairs on the capitol build
ing and issue bonds for a new building.
He set at rest the reports that Berkeley
would offer million dollars besides the
site by stating that the university town
would not offer any money as a bonus.
He was followed by Senator Lukens,
who made a strong argument for Berke-
ley, and Judge William H. Waste, who
explained the legal procedure neces-
sary. All the speakers urged that the
matter be submitted to the people.
Mayor Beard of Sacramento vigorous
ly opposed the removal, and former
Lieutenant Governor Anderson de-
nounced the men alleged to be behind
the movement and read a letter from
the state university alumni protesting
against the removal.
United States District Attorney Rob-
ert Devln deplored that certain real es-
tate men had prompted the move and
would plunge the state millions of doll
lars in debt to carry out their designs.
The Berkeley advocates made a spirited
defense of the movement and indig-
nantly denied that it was in the interest
of real estate syndicate.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-E. H. Harri-
man, head of the Union Pacific system,
spent today in a recital of portions Of
intimate history Of the financial opera
tions of himself and his assistants be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion, which in behalf Of the United
States government is investigating con-
soidations and combinations Of car
riers, relations between carriers and
community of interest therein, their
rates, facilities and practices.
Special counsel for the government
made particular attack on the reorgani-
zation and financing of the Chicago &s
Alton railroad by the Hartman sys-
tenn and their action, which, with a
challenge by counsel for the railroads
of the right of the interstate commerce
commission to inquire into the private
transactions of an Individual, consti-
tuted the two chief events of the days
proceedings.
Won't Tell Secrets
Mr. Hartman declined to tell what
Alton sold to the Union Pacific be-
longed to him individually, and the way
was paved for taking the question into
the federal courts. The point raised in
wolves a material limitation on the in
QuisitoriaI power of the commission and
is of serious Importance to the whole
question of interstate incorporation in
vestigation.
An effort was made to show that there
had been an enormous initiation of the
stock securities and liabilities of the
Alton and that the Hartman syndicate
had taken unfair profits by declaring
a dividend of 80 per cent from the pro-
ceeds of the first sale of the bonds,
amounting to $40,000,000; that the syn
dictate had sold itself the bonds at an
unreasonably low figure, only to resell
the bonds at enormous profits; that the
Hartman syndicate had in the Alton
capitalized the loss of former stock
holders in the road and the money
which had been spent by the old man
agement for bettermentS over a period
of ten years and already charged to
operating expenses; that the books of
the company had been doctored, and
that for an increase of the stock and
liabilities from about $40, 900 900 to $116,-
000,0 900 there was nothing to show ex-

WILL SELECT NEW SITE
FOR STATE PRISON
BY Associated Press.

BY NsSOCIated Press.
PHOENIX. Ariz,, Feb. Ex-Governor
Kibbey today signed a bill creating a
commission of five me 1bers to select a
new site for the territorial prison.
The present site at Yuma is undesir-
able because of remote location from
most of the territory, excessively hot
summer climate and because there
are no natural resources on which
prisoners may be employed advan-
tageously.
The prison greatly needs repairs and
it is believed it would be better to ap-
propriate more money and build a new
one.
Yuma people heretofore opposing the
project are now largely favoring it.
