HAVE NO DESIRE TO
INVES TIGATE
TILLMAN
COLLEAGUES INCLINE TO OPIN-
ION 1T is UNNECESSARY.
Senator, Himself May, However, Pre-
sent a Resolution Demanding
An Inquiry.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator who
have given consideration TO the de-
mand made by Senator Tnlman for
on investigation by the senate OF the
charges made by President Roosevelt,
in connection with the senator's Mt.
tempt to procure Oregon lands, in
cline to the opinion that there is no
question before the senate for an in
curry except as TO whether Mr. TIL
man was frank with his colleagues in
discussing the case. The opinion is
held generally that, even IL the
charges made by the President were
true, the act OF Mr.. Tillnan was not
q violation of the law. no member
Of the committee on privileges and
elections is inclined to present a res.
olution calling for one, and II one is
introduced ii Is likely that Senator
Tlllman will be the author. His friends
however. are determined to advise
him against insistence Oh his request
for an inquiry.
Just before going into the senate
chamber today. Senator Tillman call
ed on Attorney General Bonaparte on
the telephone and asked him wheth-
er he had brought suit against the
Southern Oregon Land company,
which holds land grants ror military
roads from Roseburg to Coos Bay.
This is the land comprising over .
100000 acres. of which Senator Till
man at one time contemplated pur-
chasing at $3.50 per acre, about ], 400
acres for himself, members of his
family and others
The attorney general was not able
to answer off-hand whether or not
suit had been brought against the
Southern Oregon company and Mr..
1illman asked him if he could not at
once call up some clerk and ascer-
tain what had been done in that case.
After some delay, with Mr.. Tinman
holding the phone and awaiting an
answer. the attorney general replied
that he would send Mr. Tnlman a note
on the subject Mr.. Tillman insisted
that he would like TO have an answer
at the earliest practicable moment.

Sen. TILLMAN HAS
N 4DE ANOTHER
EXPLANATION
HE is CERTAIN THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL is IN ERROR.
WHAT He Told eonaparte as to the
Character and Value of the
Land in Oregon.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Till
man late last night replied to Mr..
Bonaparte's statement about his inter
view with the attorney general in re-
gard to the Oregon land grants.
Senator Tillman declared he is will
ing TO place his oath alongside that of
the attorney general as 10 what he
said at that time. He said he told Mr..
Bonaparte he desired 10 secure some
of the land for himself II possible. He
said that it was his public duty to at
tempt TO secure a cancellation of the
land patents. If possible; his private
right thereafter to secure some Of the
land, If ne chose.
Il have hastily read the statement
issued by the attorney general" said
Mr.. Tillman and so far as l gather It's
Import there is no conflict of Yeraclty
between us, but rather one of memory.
But | feel very sure | mentioned
the valuable character OF the land and
that my interest in the matter had
been first aroused because | wanted TO
purchase 1t and told him so. AS to the
attorney generals statement about my
private interests whether actual or In
tNPfNAlllous ne 10 ltNAlniSNil9 CDlltGl,
While actually incorrect, ms private
interests at that time being confined
solely 10 the desire tnat | might get
some Of the land, If the government
should cancel the patents. but that was
so distant and problematical that it
amounted to nothing.
1T was my public policy to secure
the cancellation OF the patents. If pos
sible, after which 1t was my private
right to buy some Of 1t If l choose. AS
there were 100000 acres in the two
grants in question and | only wanted
! .440, the relative interests are easy
to see.
THE attorney general. in, the OPEN
ing part Of his statement. gives the
list of parties and corporations against
whom suit mas been brought, but fail
to see anything about any suit being
instituted 10 recover the land granted
to the state of Oregon TO aid in the
OF a military wagon road
from the navigable waters of Coos
Bay to Roseburg. These lands were
the ones in which was interested and
they were incorporated. botn in the
resolution which he drew and in tho
joint resolution which became the law.
Has. or has not, the attorney gener-
al obeyed the act of congress, as ! in
quired in my speech. Monday, and, if
not, why not?"
