Agreement Reached to Exclude Those
Who Abuse Passport Privileges.
Washington, Feb. 13.-Exclusion Of
foreigners who use their passports to
secure admission to the United States
to the detriment of labor conditions
of this country is provided for by an
amendment to the immigration bill,
agreed upon by the conferees of the
senate and house today and reported to
congress.
The amendment is the result OF a
demand from the Pacific coast states
for the exclusion of Japanese coolies
and 1t is understood will aid In secur-
ing an understanding between the adj
ministration and the San Francisco
delegation now in Washington con-
ferring with President Roosevelt. The
provision agreed upon is as follows:
"That whenever the president shall
be satisfied that passports issued by
any foreign government to it's citizens
to go to any country, other than the
United States, or to any insular pos
session of the United States to the
canal zone, are being used for the pur-
pose Of enabling the holders to come
to the continental territory of the
United States to the detriment of labor
conditions therein, the president may
refuse to permit such citizens of the
country issuing such passports to en-
ter the continental territory OF the
limited States from such country, or
from such insular possessions or from
the canal zone"

WOULD CONSERVE
FUEL RESOURCES
President Calls Congress- Atten-
tion TO Urgent Need Of Pub
lie Land Legislation
LEASING SYSTEM GOOD IDEA
Legislation Needed Is That Providing
Title to and Development of Surface
Land, as Separate and Distinct From
Right to Underlying Fuels, Where
They May Exist.

Washington, Feb 13.-Roosevelt to-
day sent to congress a long message
calling attention to what he terms the
urgent need OF legislation affecting
different phases nf the public land sit
uation In the United States" He adj
vocates conservation of coal and other
fuel resources, OH lands still belonging
to the government, saying that hence
forth the nation should retain its title
to its fuel resources; urges government
control of western public land pas
lures. with a system OF small grazing
fees. etc.; asks for an appropriation
of 100000, Immediately, in addition
to the present estimates, to aid In de-
tecting and preventing land frauds. and
contends for q system of government
leasing Of its mineral lands, and for
treating these, fuel lands as public
utilities.
He says he cares little for details,
but that the prime need is that the
system should be established. The
president points out that it would
have been better IL some eastern coal
lands had been left under government
control, and suggests a provision In
the west against the recurrence of
the conditions which we deplore in the
east" Citing 1890 cases of public
land entries in the four districts men
toned, the president says that the nom
compliance with the law, found in over
half a dozen OF them, Is deliberate
fraud in very many cases.
The president first refers to his
previous messages to congress on the
subject, and again calls attention to
the Importance Of such legislation as
would provide title to and development
of surface land as separate and dis
tinct from the right to underlying min
eral fuels in regions where these may
occur, and the disposal OF those min
eral fuels under a leasing system on
conditions which would inure to benefit
the public as whole.

GIFT OF OIL KING BRIBERY.
RockefeIIers Endowment May Be Do
siarsd to Influence, GLADDEN. Declares.

Siaueo to Inuuouce, 0sdu0ou OoS'aSS'
Columbus, Feb. 13.--Rev. Dr. Wash
ington GLADDEN., pastor OF the First
CONGREGATIONAL church, who led In the
movement to prevent the church from
accepting gifts Of tainted money. says
that the endowment Of $32.000,000 pre-
sented to the general education board
by John D. Rockefeller has the appear
ance OF an attempt to. influence the
courts indirectly in the many cases
now pending against the Standard Oil
company all over the country.
aside from the magnitude Of this
gift said DR.. GLADDEN. yesterday. lin
what light are we expected to regard
1t? Is 1t beneficence or restitution?
1t happens to be true that the donor at
present is under indictment In many
parts of the country on the charge OF
having extorted vast sums from the
public Added to these indictments are
the grave charges Of the Interstate
commerce commission covering many
years of nefarious practices by which
enormous sums Of money have been
wrongfully obtained. If these charges
should be sustained the public would
know that a large part, at least, OF
these millions was plunder. In that
case the public could not regard ty6s
gift as beneticence. but as an act OF
restitution.
I'm any case, 1t would have been
more fitting to withhold this transfer
until the truth or falsity Of these In
dictments could be established in court.
As the case stands the transaction cam
not but wear color Of an attempt to in
tluence, thru public sentiment, the ac-
ton of the courts in the cases now
pending. 1t is to be hoped that this
attempt will not be successful"

NAY PREVENT STRIKE
Telegraph Operator. in Western Union
company's Principal Offices Thru
out the Country, Given Ten Per Cent
Increase in Salaries.

New York. Feb. 13.-An increase of
ten per cent in the salaries of telegraph
operators at the company's principal
offices thruout the country, was an
nounced by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company today, by Robert g.
Clowry. president of the company, in
letter to the general superintendents at
New York. Chicago, San Francisco and
Atlanta. This may forestall the
threatened strike of $4,000 telegraphers
in the principal cities of the country.
Manager Gillette, Of the local West
ern Union office, has received the fol-
lowing official statement from Presi-
dent Clowey, addressed to Superintend-
,ent Cook at Chicago:
New York, Feb. 13.-T. p. Cook,
general superintendent, Chicago: This
company has received petitions within
the last sixty days from sixteen offices
in the west and southwest asking for
an increase of 10 per cent in the sal
aries Of employees. These petitions
have been given careful consideration,
bearing in mind that the company
could moi discriminate in favor of a
few Offices but that any action taken
should be general. In this connection
it has been necessary to consider the
enormously increased cost of all kinds
of telegraph materials, which in many
cases has been from fifty to .one
hundred per cent, while the tariff
rates on messages and other traffic are
very low, in view of the demands of the
public for ever increasing facilities and
more rapid service. In fact many of
these rates are relics Of former ruinous
competition and are Improbable. Not
withstanding these facts the company
has decided to increase the salaries Of
operators at its principal offices thru
out the country ten per cent from

of the late Count John A. Creighton
has disappeared, and all efforts of the
executors to find it have been unavail-
ing.
A will made three years ago has
been found, but it is believed there is
a later one. Judge Woolworth, Count
Creighton's lawyer, died one year ago.
1t is believed Woolworth drew the will,
but no record of it is among his pa
pers.
Since the will which was found was
drawn, Count Creighton has disposed
of much property, having sold one
mine for s5,oOO,O0O. None of this is
accounted for in the will which has
been found, and the executors are sure
there is another will in existence. Mat
tiers pertaining to the property are at
