FRAUD ORDER FOR LAWSON.
Complaint Against His Methods Made
- Governp,enf


New York, Oct. 26.-The United
States government, thru the postoffice
department, is investigating charges
made against Thomas w. Lawson of
improperly using the mails in an al
legged scheme to defraud thru the sale
of Bay State Gas stock to the public.
The governments investigation does
not imply that the postoffice depart
ment believes that Lawson is conduct
ing a swindling operation. Charges
have been made in writing by a per-
son who has been collecting evidence
against Lawson from investors who
have bought Bay State Gas on prom
ises in advertisements and circulars
sent thru the mails.
The postoffice department accepting
these charges as made in good faith has
instituted inquiry thru the Boston Of
flee. On the report of the inspectors
the postmaster general must decide
whether Lawson is abusing the priv
ileges of the mails. In such case, if
the investigation shows indisputable
evidence of a fraud, the postmaster
general issues a fraud order" seizes
the offenders mail and returns it to
the senders marked fraudulent"

Departs Without Hitch Amid Ban
zais of Vast Throng.
Yokohama, Oct 26.-Amid the cheers
japanese, the American fleet turned
their prows out of Yokohama harbor
late Sunday, and dividing into first and
second squadrons, sailed matestically
away, the first squadron returning to
Manila and the second pointing for
Annoy.
The usual stoicism OF the Japanese
was forgotten in the hour Of farewell
and the throngs that crowded every
vantage point became almost hysteri-
cal in their efforts to give still
further proof of their friendship for
the Americans.
Officers and men crowded the decks
of the ships and waved and cheered
back as long as the receding shore re-
mained in sight.
The memories Of the thousands OF
American sailors and officers who
were fortunate enough to share in the
Japanese festivities will need no jog
ging to remind them Of the week OF
Oct. 18, 1908. It will mark a dividing
line in the lives Of most of them and
future events will be timed as having
occurred before or after I'VE were in
Japan
Honolulu was fine, Australia was
great, the v-eit to China is looked for
ward to with expectancy, and big
time is awaited on the return to Ma
Mia. But Japan can not be outdone.
The flowers and fetes, the lanter9
and tinkling music, the dinners and
theaters, the little brown Japanese
men and the coy little Japanese maids,
the jinrickishas and teahouses, the
meeting with famed Japanese warriors
and over and thru 1t all, the marvel
Gus and spontaneous and heartfelt en-
thusiasm made an impression on ths
Americans that time will dull but
little.

FORESTS NEED STATE AID.
So Declares Millionaire Lumber King
Weyerhauser, to Committee.

Weyerhauser, to Committee.
st. Paul, Oct. &c. The congressional
committee which has been touring
northern Minnesota for the past ten
days investigating the supply of spruce
timber, arrived in st. Paul today to
continue its inquiry into the timber
supply and it's relation to the paper
manufacturing business of the coun-
try The committee called on Fred
erick Weyerhauser, the multi-million-
aire lumberman, and examined him as
to his knowledge of the standing tim
ber and future supply.
Weyerhauser said his company had
never made an estimate of the supply
Of spruce wood for the reason it had
never been considered as worth any
thing commercially, until recent years.
He said the best way to conserve
the forests was to prevent fires by
cutting out the standing timber. He
thought the state should look after the
prevention of fires and reforestratlon
of the cut or burned-over lands.
TT takes 200 years to raise full
grown pine trees" he said. Asked
as to the future supply of timber in
this country, he said there was an
immense stock of timber in the far
west. That's where it would come from
in the future. The timber now stand
ing would go fast providing the price
in not higher than 1t Is now.

Speaks in PeItina Rain.

Paterson, NJ j., Oct. 26-With a
steady rain pelting down upon them,
10000 persons here stood for an hour
today, while Bryan, wrapped in a rain
coat and with a slouch hat pulled
down on his brow, spoke. He urged
those present to vote for the democrat
ic candidate for congress in this dis
trict, saying that there could be little
real good accomplished by electfng
democratic president unless there also
should be a democratic congress be-
hind him. Bryan attacked the policy
of. the republican campaign managers.
in declining to publish the campaign
contributions until after election. He
denounced the republican platform as
standing for nothing" He spoke Of
the democratic platform as a declara-
ton of principles which mean some
thing, and which will be put into prac-
tice when he is elected.
The downpour continued thruout the
twenty minutes that Bryan was
speaking, and at the conclusion Of his
address, his clothing was saturated, and
little streams were trickling from his
wide brimmed hat AS Bryan and his
party climbed into the automobile
which was to take them to the depot
to get the train back to New York, the
thousands of dripping men and women
united in rousing cheers.

President Roosevelt Presents Record
of Candidate

of Candidate.
Washington, Oct 70. - president
Roosevelt, in a letter made public Sun
day. tells why laboring men should
vote for Taft
The letter was written Oct 19 to P.
H. Grace tinancier of Parlor City
lodge No. sc of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen of Binghampton,
N. Y.
Mr. Grace had written to Mr.. Roose-
velt asking for his views as to how the
railroad men could best serve their
own interests at the election in view
of the fact that, as he said. ION one
side the papers and speeches assert
that Mr. Taft is the father of injunc-
tions in labor disputes and the enemy
of the working men. On the other side
it is declared that Mr.. Taft has rec
ognized the right of labor and has in
fact been and now is friendly to the
best interests of organized labor"
The president prepared his views as
to Mr. Taft's fitness to serve the labor
element from knowledge of the candi-
dates record and wrote letter in
which he credits Taft with recent
decision of a Chicago court uphold
ing the right of unions to establish
pickets exhibited the decisions of
Taft revolutonizing judicial procedure
in employees injury suits, and review
ing the economic progress under the
present administration which he says
will be continued under Taft and
brought to ruin if Bryan is elected

Warm Reception in Connecticut.

Warm Reception in Connecticut.
New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 26.-The
"only way Bryan ever influenced the
return of prosperity was by being beat
en-. That is the way he has brought on
prosperity every time and 1 hope the
same method will be continued
This was Taft's first message to
Connecticut today, delivered to crowd
which greeted his special train at
Stanford, on it's way to New Haven.
The crowd cheered and shouted as
surances that the result desired would
follow.
At South Norwalk, where another
stop was made, the crowd was even
larger and waited in the rain to get a
glimpse of the candidate. The candi-
date had another opportunity to speak
at Bridgeport, which he embraced
briefly.
The Taft special reached New Haven
at 10: 80. The candidate was met at the
station and escorted by several march
ing clubs thru the principal streets to
the Second regiment armory, where he
delivered an address. A long line of
students marching behind Taft club
ba,.ner stepped in time to the slogan,
repeated over and over, Taft, Taft,
Big Bill Taft"
The candidate in his address re-
viewed the record of the two parties.
saying that if he did not thoroughly
believe republican success meant the
real prosperity of the country, he
should feel like withdrawing from the
canvass. The democratic tariff was
compared with the prosperity said to
have followed it's repeal and the estab-
lishment of a protective system. The
establishment of the gold standard
regulation of the trusts and not their
destruction, were each touched upon.
At this point he said Bryan would take
the tariff off of trust made goods and
"thus destroy not only the trusts but
their Independent competitors"

ROSEBUD CLAIMS MAY BE VOID.
Daughter of Outlaw Claimant to Land
Has Been Found.

Has Been Found.
Chicago, Oct. 26.-Long missing, the
daughter of Jack" Sully, the South
Dakota outlaw who occupied the Rose
bud reservation for more than half a
century before he was killed by fed
eral officials six years ago, has been
located in Chicago. She is declared to
be Trixie Sing, wife of Louis Sing, a
millionaire Chinaman.
Captain Martin Peterson of the First
regiment L. N. G., who was sent to the
Rosebud district during the land regis
tration in an effort to locate Sully's
missing daughter for a Chicago real
estate firm has returned with informa-
ton that leads him to believe positive
ly that Mrs. Sing is the one who, as a
child was stolen from the reservation
twenty-five years ago.
The result may be contest of all
the claims on the Rosebud.
1t is expected that the heirs of Sully
will claim title to the reservation on
the grounds that it was occupied by
the notorious cattle rustler for longer
than twenty years.
Four of Sully's five children are now
living in South Dakota The third
daughter was stolen by a white woman
when she was 2 years old. She is
Trixie Sing, Captain Peterson is salts
fed.
The missing daughter of the outlaw
had to be found it is said, to secure
a quit-claim for the heirs. 1t is said
the other children have already signed
a >quit-claim deed to the reservation.
Mrs. Sing admits that the woman
who raised her told her before her
death three months ago that she was
born out on the Dakota reservation
and that she was half Indian.
