Senator Hale, in response to the lat

Mr.. Tillman used his influence as a

land grants from the United States in
order that he and his family and his
secretary, j. B. Knight, might profit

Alaska Wheat Is a Fraud.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-"The ex.
ploitation of Alaska wheat and its
sale at price many times its real
value was nothing short of a get-rich.
quick scheme on the part of the pro-
moters," said W. M. Jardine, wheat
specialist of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, in discussing this
now notorious fraud.
At the special request of Secretary
Wilson, Mr.. Jardine went to Juliaette
Ida, the home of "Alaska" wheat
and at the close of the growing season
made careful and painstaking in
vestigation of the supposedly rare
and exceedingly valuable grain.
After the most scrutinous study of the
"Alaska" wheat, and an investiga-
tion of the conditions under which it
was being sold, Mr.. Jardine concluded
that the whole proposition was moth
ing more nor less than a deliber ate
swindle, framed up to enrich the pro.
moters, at the expense of the innocent
farmers, who allowed themselves to
be fooled by the alluring literature
circulated by the promoters OF the So
called "Alaska" wheat.

Many Dead In Coal Mine.

DUQUOIN, ILL.,, Jan. 1O.-A disas.
trous gas explosion, in which 25 men
lost their lives, occurred at an early
hour this morning in Joseph Letters
famous colliery at Zeigler. A spark
from q trolley pole of an electric mo.
tor car coming in contact with a
pocket OF gas is assigned as the cause
of the explosion.
The explosion was peculiar. No
noise or shock was heard or felt at
the opening of the shaft-only q puff
of smoke was noticeable. The engin-
eer noticed the smoke, and realizing
that an accident had happened sum-
moned aid. The mine recently had
been on on fire, and the flames had
been sealed and confined to workings
which were not in the vicinity of the
present explosion.

Railroad Legislation Blocked.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Gan adverse
report of the senate on Senator
Fulton's bill to prohibit rail-
roads from increasing freight and
passenger rates without due notice
was made today by Chairman Elkins
of the committee on Interstate com.
merce. The action anticipated a mes
sage from President Roosevelt calling
attention to the further need of legis-
lation on railroad rates as indicated
by the recent decision of the supreme
court of the United Jtates in the case
OF E. II. Hartman against the inter.
state commerce commission.
The Fulton bill was introduced a
year ago, and its author has con.
stantly urged its passage. It pro-
vides that no change shall be made
in rates except after 30 days. notice

less notice. Railroads are prohibited
from receiving any compensation for
passenger or freight transportation
other than that stated. The penalty
for violation is fine of not less than
81 200 or more than $4,000 for each
offense, and the same pen atty is made

Bill Before Congress Provides That
Patents Be Issued.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Thousande
OF homesteaders in Montana and other
public.land states are in danger O1
losing their rights to the lands or
which they have settled, and all i'm
provements, by the withdrawal of the
Ignite coal lands by the goverumen,
and their classification as mineral
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., too, agains,
whom no suspicion of improper inten-
tion ever has been directed.
Timothy j. Butler of the legal de-
partment of the government land of.
flee, in an address to the cOnserv alton
conference here recently, declared tn al
the land department has now fully
5000 cases before il in which home.
steaders are unable 10 cumplets fina
proof and receive patents to their
honlesfe ads because their farms have
been classified as coal lands.
Congressman Thomas r. NJ arsh all OF
North Dadota has put bill into the
house to correct the stu alton aud give
relief to these settlers, and it il he
lieved this measure, if it passes, will
save to the Dakota, Montana, Wyo-
ming and New Mexico settlers their
farms, although it will acknowledge
the government ownership of the
coal which may underlie their prop.
erty.
The Ignite coal fields have been
withdrawn from entry as public agri-
cultural lands as result of the inves.
tig ations made by the experts of the
geological survey. In many of the
most fertile agricultural sections of
these states the experts found evi.
dences of rich deposits of Ignite, and
the lands were Immediately classified
as coal lands. A homestead entry can
not be made on coal lands, and as a
result there are many farmers who
have been developing the agricultural
lands along the Missouri river who
find themselves unable now to perfect
title to their farms.
Congressman Marshall's bill pro-
vides that the government may give
title to the surface of the lands with
out giving title to the coal deposit
underneath.

the people should be satisfied, but
they say the plan to allow them to vote
would be more difficult to arrange than
would the passage of the bill. They

TILLMAN GRILLS ROOSEVELT
Pitchfork Statesman Resents Allega-
ton That He Is Land Grabber.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. - Senator
b. Il. Tillman arose to q question of
personal privilege in the senate this
morning to answer the charge made
against him by the president that he
was concerned in land grab in Oregon,
while at the same time lighting the
land grabbers on the floor of the SEN
ate in w ashington.
Tillman was dramatic in his speech
and manner. He invited thorough
investigation of his private life by
President Roosevelt or anyone else.
He said:
81 have not attempted to deceive
anybody; have told no falsehoods;
l have not broken any law: am gull
ty of no immoral conduct. ] had the
right to buy land if could"
Tillman accused the president of
Justification and cowardice and con.
tempt of the senate and violation of
the law in the use of the secret service.
He arraigned the president for allow
ing the amalgamation; of the Steel
trust, of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company and for helping "his dear
friend Hartman to hold 1900, 900
acres of public domain because Ben
Tillman wanted to buy LAO acres"
He admitted that perhaps he had
made a disingenuous statement in de.
claring that he had not bought or un.
dertaken to buy the land in question.
For the first time in his senatorial
career Tillman read his entire speech.

Accompanying it was q resolution
which declared it to be the sense of the
house that it shall decline to consider
any communication from any source
which is not respectful, recommending
that the Objectionable portion of the
presidents annual message be laid on
the table and that similar action be
taken with respect to the message ot
last Monday because of it's being
'unresponsive to the inquiry of the
house" as to what the president me ant

"chief argument in favor of the pro.
vision was that the congressman did

When Chairman Perkins of New
York of the special committee arose
to make his report he faced an almost
full membership while the galleries
were packed with interested spectators.
Messrs. Tawney, Smith of Iowa,
Sherley and Fitzgerald were on the
floor prepared by word of mouth to
resent what they deemed to be the in
sinu ations on the committee on appro-
priations. They were not alone in
their indigna nation. Indeed for some
time pact the feelings of the members
had been growing more and more in
tense, and some of them have been
giving way to their sentiments in lam
guages which fully testified to their
wounded pride.
