JOKER IS FOUND.
Townsend Exposes Trickssy In 8. p.
Land Grant Suit

Washington, March 13.-At to
days meeting of house public lands
lcommittee, alleged innocent pur-
chasers" of Oregon q California rail-
Iroad land and their counsel were
heard at length In behalf of the
amendment to the Fulton resolution
(which would ostensibly validate prac-
ltically every sale heretofore made by
1.-THE railroads. but cross-questionin
Iof the witnesses by B. ID. Townsend,
who investigated the land grant
|clearly developed the fact that the
proposed innocent purchasers"
amendment contains joker which In
reality would have fully protected
the railroad company against any
suit which the department OF justice
might institute. The entire day was
devoted to the hearing, and on Sat-
lurday Mr.. Townsend will be heard In
behalf of the resolution as 1t passed
the senate and In opposition to all
innocent purchasers" amendments.
In practically every argument
made it was notable that counsel laid
far more stress upon the interests of |
the railroad company than upon the |
interests of their purported clients, |
yet each one, when cross-questioned |
disavowed any interest In the rail-
road company's affairs. In connection
with the pleas OF attorneys, it was
observed that General Land Agent
Eberline, of the Southern Pacific,
who blocked sales of railroad land in
and after 1902, was present, together
with L. E. Payson, eastern counsel
for the Hartman railroads, and Mr.. Ii
Rich, New York banker, who holds
20,000,000 of the Oregon & Cali
fornia comapny's bonds. Yet no one
protesting to represent the railroad
ayailed himself of the opportunity to i,
make statement. =
Various counsel for purchasers of 9
abroad land were requested to sug-
5est form of amendment which :
would protect all innocent pur-
'hasers for value who are not guiltyl
II fraud. None of these amendments
made any distinction as to who these t
might be. 0
Mr.. Townsend called attention tn Il
he fact that in 1870 the East Side Il
20. conveyed its entire grant to the ii
)regon & California Co., SO that the IG
ompany, under the proposed amend +,
nents, could be regarded as a 'sDur- .
naser Tor value and without fraud . y
ne same is true of the West Side y
rant under the sale of 1880. More q
yer there are two trust deeds Of ca
SSl, which convey the entire land M
rant to the preferred Stockholders re
,ltnout condition. Again the limo
emit purchasers CO
On July /, 1887, a 100000 0oo ",
lortgage was given to the Union g..
rust Co. Upon oss-examination 0p
Mr., Townsend it was admitted nv
10 attorneys that If any of the Ju
mendments proposed bv them hs
iouid be adopted, it would validate Nj
! tnese conveyances and thus defeat to
le entlre suit of the government Fo
"a tne railroad company. Not re,
