COAL LANDS
FRAUD CASES
The Government viii Use All its
Power to Reverse Judge
Lewis Decision.

Washington. Dec. sl.-At the last
cabinet meeting Of the year 1907 held
today the decision was reached by
the president and attorney general that
tho government win use every measure
in its power to bring about in the high
er court its disapproval Of the decision
rendered In Colorado by Judge Lewis
that there is no law against citizens
agreeing in advance 20 purchase coal
or other public lands that may be ac-
quired by others, under what is known
as the dummy entry man system.
Atty. Gen. Bonaparte said after the
cabinet meeting that It was fortunate
Congress last year passed law
giving the government the right TO ap,
peal in a criminal case as undoubtedly
the government would appeal to its
fullest extent against a decision quash-
ing indictments against men charged
with Illegally acquiring coal lands
The commissioner OF the general land
office said today that his department
had not initiated the land fraud cases
which have, save I'm a few instances.
been dismissed by federal Judge Lewis
at Denver. Although the land office Is
cooperating in every possible way with
the department OF Justice IN bringing
fraudulent countrymen 10 justice tine
interior department had nothing to do
with bringing the indictments which
have been quashed. and there are In
timatlons that the latter department
partially agrees with Judge Lewis in
his ruling that the persons accused
OF Illegally acquiring lands. cannot be
held under the indictments as drawn.
at least as they apply TO violations OF
the timber and stone act.
II Is understood that the land office
Is about ready TO call from 60 to so
violations OF the land laws IN The Colo
RADIO region 10 the attention Of the
grand jury. Some Of these may involve
a number OF the very persons whom
Judge Lewis has discharged. Commits
sioner Ballnger holds that IL Is speci-
hcally provided in the act Of 1878 that
the claimant Of land must make
showing at the time OF the application
that he does not take the land for the
benefit Of any other person. Under the
statute he does not have 20 repeat this
az the time OF proof. although the de-
partment calls for a showing or this
kind az the time Of proof IN order to
obtain all the evidence possible indi-
eating the good or bad faith at the time
OF application. In other words. il Is
held that a man may change his mind
as to the disposition OF the lands he
seeks to obtain from the government
The new cases which the land office
will bring are largely built upon per-
jury and false allegations as to char

land office h busily at work at Denver

Commissioner Ballinger said today
that he had examined the decision OF
