The sensation of the past week
in Congress has been the social
ed Sidney Bieber land scandal.
Senator Carter electrictritied the
Senate by exposing one of the
most barefaced frauds whereby,
with the evident cOnnivance OF
influential members Of the house
Bieber has secured fraudulent
title to valuable lands belonging
to the United States and has
very nearly secured title to a
third valuable piece of property.
Only the wariness Of secretary
Taft, who was directed by Con-
gress to convey title Bieber, has
prevented his acquiring full and
uneuuivocal title to the third
tract, for the improvement OF
which, together with adjoining
property on the river front, Con
congress has already expended
100000 and has planned tc
spend far more.
