MOVES TO RECOVER
MUCH indian Land
SPECIAL ATTORNEY FOR GOV.
EMINENT COLLECTS EVIL
DENcE AGAINST LUM-
5E1 COMPANIES.

Minneapolis, Dec. 6.-Chauncey c.
Richardson, special attorney for the
government, is collecting evidence to
establish that various lumber COM
panies have practiced fraud upon both
full-blooded and half-breed Indians
on the White Earth reservation to get
their timber lands away from them.
Mr.. Richardson has worked in CO.
operation with Inspector Linnen and
Special Agent Moorhead representa-
tives Of the interior department, who
have made such representations to At
torney General Wickersham that the
latter has ordered suits to be instituted
on behalf Of the United States govern
ment to get back from the companies
as much OF the land as possible on the
ground that the property was bought
from minors and full-blooded Indians
whom the government does not allow
to sell their allotments.
Mr.. Richardson has an affidavit by
Bay Bah Nah e-Wabe, a full-blood
Chippewa, living at Pine Pont, declar-
ing he was induced to deem an eighty
acre tract Of his own, and another
of his wtfe's for 5000. He said he was
TOLD by the buyer that there was
mortgage against his allotment and
that unless he Immediately conveyed
the property to the person who APP
preached him, he would lose the fun
value of the land through foreclosure
proceedings.
He declares in the AFFIDAVIT that he
had known nothing Of any such mort
gage, but he had confidence in what
was told him, and yielded to threats,
cajolery and misrepresentation" After
the deed had been signed by him and
his wife, he found that his wife's
property, too, had been unwittingly
decided away.
The suits Mr.. Richardson will in
stitute in the state courts will take up
the cause OF mixed as well as full
bloods.

would on Monday Of this week com
mence cutting timber along its right
of way across the Minnesota. national
forest, and requested instructions in
order to prev INT tresspass on timber
belonging to the Indians inasmuch as
there were no papers on file in his Of
flee showing that the right of way had
been granted that road.
Careful examination Of the records
of the landoffice failed to disclose that
the 500 road had been granted a right
OF way, and on inquiry of the Indian
office and forestry bureau, the same
information was obtained. A telegram
to that effect was sent Mr.. O'NeiI, with
instructions to notify the railroad and
prevent tresspass if possible. Within a
few days, on Monday last, a second
telegram was received from Mr.. O'NeiI.
asking authority to fix a price on the
timber cut by the railroad company, to
which answer was made that inasmuch
as no right of way had been granted,
any cutting by the roads EMPLOYEES
would be considered tresspass and to
again so notify the railroaG authorities.
Within the past few days a third tele-
gram was received from Mr.. O'Neil
stating that the company had begun
cutting timber and had also located it's
camp on an Indian allotment.
In response to this, Commissioner
bennett instructed Mr.. O'NeiI to pre-
sent the facts to District Attorney G.
G. Houpt at ST. Paul, with a view to
stopping the illegal cutting of timber
and to take appropriate action in re-
gard to the tresspass already commit
ed. Today telegram was received
here from O'Neil stating that the rail-
road company had stopped cutting.
1t is stated at the landoffice that the
500 road committed a clear violation
Of the law In going or the Minnesota
forest reserve without permit, but
these is some question as to whether
the government can prevent the road
from constructing it's line over Indian
allotments.

the lives lost, fifry-nine drowned when
their vessels went to the bottom. and
three were killed in an explosion.
Chief among the causes of the
many losses OF the last season have
been fogs and collisions, the combi-
nation Of which has led to many a
disaster. Twenty four collisions are
recorded, and at least 50 per cent Of
these were caused by fog. Fire, wind
and waves exacted their usual toll OF
money and life.

SUBMARINE MINES
 FINALLY PLACED

Washington, December 9.-After years Of fruitless endeavor submarine mines have been planted in the deep waters of the race at the eastern entrance to Long Island Sound. and New York city is to- day better fortified against attack by sea than ever before. Announcement of the solution of this difficult problem was made today by Gen. Arthur Murray, chies of the Coast artillery, in his annual re- port to the Secretary of War.
 Until recent experiments were made 1t was believed by army and navy officers that mines could not be planted in water deeper than 100 or 16o feet.
 It was found, however. by officers of the Coast artillery that it was quite as easy to plant the mines in deep water as in shallow, if heavy enough anchors were obtainable. So with anchors weighing 15oo pounds, mines were planted in the trace" at depth of 125, then 200 and finally 900 feet. The complete submarine eo,1ipment for the race is now. being prepared. and will be in place soon.
 General Murray recommends in his re- port the permanent assignment of one submarine as a part of the essential de- fense of each of the following points:
 Admiralty inlet Washington; San Fran cisco, the entrance to Chesapeake bay; and the entrance to Long Island Sound from the east. These would be used as an adjunct to the harbor defenses already there. ~
 He asked for a reorganization of the Coast artillery, so as to make it inde- pendent of other arms of the service.
