Washington. October 26-(Special.)- James s. Sherman, candidate for vice president on the republican ticket and lection of campaign funds from the trusts four years ago, is charged with entering into scheme to secure thousands or acres of valuable timber lands in New Mexico at mere fraction of their actual value. The disclosures, which are made through the New York World by Edmund Burke of California, Sherman's former business partner, are connected with the formation of the New Mexico Lumber and Development company. Burke says it was a $3,000000 concern, incorporated in 1901 by Sherman, Burke and Henry Casson. the present sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives.
 Burke's statement tallies with the Con gressional Record and letters between sherman and him dated during last Au- gust which are to be produced Burke, the republican nominee, entered into a scheme to obtain thousands of acres of valuable timber land in New Mexico for less than One-Ientn dctud1 fdiuC oiio eiAe's 'hN project was only abandoned because of the activities of Francis J. Henry and K. J. Burnes in Investigating land and timber frauds in the west.
 The articles of incorporation of the com pany were filed in the territory of Ari- zona, according to Burke, to secure se- crecy. He, as the authorized agent, en- tered into an arrangement with the mem bers of the land board of the territory of New Mexico to acquire territorial tim Der lands in that territory at about one- tenth of their cost Burke made the necessary arrangements" giving to Solic- itor General Bartlett of that territory. $500 in cash, to A. A. Keen, superintendent of lands, draft on a Philadelphia bank for $500, and to Governor Otero of New Mexico a draft for $5OO0, which went through the bank of Pueblo, Col. These officials constituted the land board of the territory.
 It is alleged that the land board of New Mexico gave to the New Mexico Lumber and Development company an

from him, and scouts the suggestion that MT. Mitchell and other labor leaders tare not in sympathy with him in his advo- cacy of the Pearre and Wilson iniunc- tion bill"
 John Mitchell, Frank Morrison and I are now on trial to show cause why we should not be sent to jail because we exerted our rights, having violated no law of state or nation," says Mir. Com pers. 'Will the President publicly justify Justice Gould's injunction and the con- tempt proceedings to send Mitchell Nor rison and me to jail on the grounds of contempt which are put forward by the Bucks Stove and Range company under that injunction2 The injunction issued by Justice Gould is based upon injunc- tions issued by Judge Taft and his lan- guage is quoted by Justice Gould.
 Tt is the purpose of the opponents of labor to villify the labor movement through me. and MT Roosevelt now joins the chorus upon the pretext that have attacked the federal courts. As man and citizen l have nothing to retract: but l insist that despite great prcvoca- ton I have always expressed my views and critieism-perhans in stz0nx yet re- snectful lapgQage.-

of property rights to the invasion of per sonal freedom.
 He quotes from the Presidents mes sages to Congress and declares that they show an utter confusion of the entire matter of injunction in MT. Roosevelts mind He claims that the decisions of the lower courts in Great Britain which were reversed by the higher courts there have been acceupted the basis of the issuance of the injunction in the Uni ted States. Mir Gompers also insists that the provisions of the Pearre and Wilson bills advocated by the Federation of La bor are not broad or comprehensive in scope as the British trades disputes act.
 Roosevelt as Mentor.
 ''The mere fact" continues Mir. Gosn- pers that Mir Roosevelt denounces a proposition as wicked does not so con- stitute it; time and circumstances and party obligations have persuaded him to modify his judgment and his utterances. Surely, it must bring unction to find his unwarranted attack on me so thoroughly appreciated by the New York Sun, which criticises him for his last utterance in as severe language as that with which he attacks me-"
 Referring to dissenting opinions of Jus tice Harlan, Justice Moody and many distinguished jurists and legal authorities on the abuse of the injunction, he de- clares that Mir. Roosevelt has placed me in good company
 'Of course" he says, "every one knows that the President strongly urged every measure which he advocated. and then accepted what his political opponents in his own party chose to give him. It is general knowledge that he had a more liberal platform prepared for adoption by the republican convention at Chicago, and then accepted what they doled out. All know that the nomination of MT. Sher- man was concerted by Senator Burrows and Genial Uncle Joe Cannon as a slap in the face to Mir Roosevelt: but the President. because his Injunction Judge Taft has been nominated for the presi- dency, now not only swallows the whole pot pourri but must needs directly and indirectly attack me in the fight which my fellow-workers and I are making in defense of equality before the law, of the men of labor with all other citizens and for the establishment of human freedom"
 Pearre Injunction Bill.
 Mir. Gompers assert that the ''Pearre injunction bill." which MT. Roosevelt at tacks,. has been for several Congresses without a word of arjticjsnl Y :

SHERMAN CHARGED WITH
 LAND GRABBING SCHEME

option on an extensive tract of land emb racing more than 150,000 acres. The price agreed upon was $3 an acre. To carry out this scheme the land board printed for the company several thousand application blanks addressed to the land board, each asking for grant of 160 acres, the limit allowed by law On the back of these applica- tions was printed power of attorney to the company by which athe appli- cant appointed the company its agent.
 These applications were to be signed by men working in the breweries of Milwaukee, then they were to be turned over to the company Burke alleges that on the advice of United States Senator Spooner Sherman and his associates finally decided that the scheme of using dummy entrymen was too dangerous. They decided to aban- don the plan and seek Legislative au- thority from the government to profit at it's expense.
 Sherman, then a member of congress, prepared and drew house bill No 11032 to amend an act entitled: "An act to make certain grants of land in. the territory of New Mexico and for other purposes" This bill was passed in the house and was then sent to the senate. There it met snag in the person of Senator Thomas M. Patterson of Colorado.
 He prevented 1t from passing after a. warm debate. Then came the sensational disclosures of other western land frauds. The project was abandoned for the time. On August g last Burke wrote to Candi- date Sherman saying the democratic na- tional committee had secured the facts of the attempted land grab and would prob ably use them to injure him.
 In his letter Mir. Burke said among other thihgs: No exigency can arrive in this world that would make me recreant to a trust or disloyal to friend-but they may attempt to blacken the facts. And I feel it my duty to tell you what they are trying to do.'
 Mr. sherman replied that he thanked Burke very much for apprising him of what was under way" The New York World states that it's efforts to se- cure a statement from MT. Sherman have been unavailing A telegram from the newspaper delivered at the~ Utica home of MT. Sherman has eiicited no reply. al- though MT. Sherman was known to be at home w. $.
