Pc. EWART AT
THE CAPITAL
SAYS HE Is STILL IN AFFAIRS OF
HOME STATE OF MINNESOTA.
LIKES THE AIR OF WASHINGTON
Congressional Arena Hammond
and Ex-Songressman MeCIea-
ry Alison in Capital.

Washington, June 26.-Paul E.
Ewart. formerly United States attor-
ney In Minnesota and now assistant
attorney general of the United States,
Is in Washington for a conference
with Attorney General Wickersham
and Secretary Ballinger of the inter-
Tor, over Oklahoma land fraud cases
Mr.. Ewart has been engaged in
clearing up cases in the zinc and lead
districts of Oklahoma since last No
vember, with considerable success.
His efforts have resulted in the saving
to the government of about 10000
acres of valuable minera lands there,
and a large number Of cases are now
pending, owe which conferences are
to be held in Washington.
Rumors that Mr.. Ewart's absence
from the state has put him perma-
nently out of the congressional fight
in the second district of Minnesota,
were discussed reluctantly by him.
He would not indicate whether he had
ambitions to again figure in the Sec
ond district fight, but he declared
emphatically that he did not desire
to be considered as alien to Mime
sofa or Minnesota affairs.
The presence of three congressional
aspirants of the second district, Ham
mond, McCleary and Ewart, in Wash
lngton simultaneously, is enough to
make gossip rampant.
Former Congressman McCleary has
5pent practically the entire winter
here and is understood to have assist
ed in considerable research work on
tariff subjects. He and Mr.. Ewart
had an unexpected meeting at the
Willard yesterday and exchanged fell
citations.

PLAN TO AID N. w. SETTLERS.
To Be Again Allowed to Work Out
Part Of Cost of Lands.

Washington, June 90 Director
Newell, of the reclamation service,
acting under the suggestions made by
Secretary Ballinger of the interior de-
partment, is at work upon a plan to,
r~e-establish cooperative work IN the
reclamation projects throughout the
west upon lines which viii avoid the
legal obstacles found by Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham in his recent dest~
sion upon the matter.
The attorney general found that the
government ha' no right to enter
into an agreeLl n such as heretofore
made, whereby settlers were allowed
to work out part of the cost of their
irrigated lands.
The hardship which the breaking of
these agreements will make on the ir-
rigated land homesteaders is fully ap-
preciated by the federal authorities.
and an attempt is now being made to
devise a satisfactory plan to permit
the settlers to receive proper credit
for work lone for the government.

cent reports of their earnings, thirty
nine leading industrial corporations Of

ing a 2 per cent tax on net incomes.
These thirty-nine corporations would
Of course, contribute a comparatively
small amount of the money which
would be obtained by the government
through this source, most of which
would come from the great railroad
corporations.
Of the industrial concerns, the
Standard OIL Company would be the
largest contributor, paying $1,000, 900,
according to calculations based on
the largest report of earnings avail
able. The United States Steel cor,
poration would come next, with 1854,

MANKATO HAS
LATEST MURDER
REMAINS OF n. J. LEADBEATER
FOUND ON FARM NEAR MAN
kATO, MINI.
BURIED FOR TWO MONTHS
Hired Man, Party to Crime, 10 Forced
to Witness the Discovery, Then
Confesses, Declaring Wife Of
Victim Did The Killing.

Mankato. Mimi, June 28.-While
Frank Smith, a hired man, protested
that the body of his former employer
would not be found, a posse, search
Ing for III. j. Leadbeater, a farmer,
who disappeared from his home three
miles out of this city two months ago,
found the mutilated form of the miss
ing farmer buried three feet deep In
a potato patch, not ten feet from the
Identical spot on which Smith stood.
Smith, according to the authorities,
has confessed, duplicating Mrs. II. j.
Le~adbeater, wife of the murdered
man, claiming she killed her husband
while he was asleep, and Charles
Swandt, brother-fn-law of the victim,
who Is said to have helped the hired
man dispose Of the body. Smith, Mrs.
~Leadbeater and Mrs. Charles Swandt,
sister of Mrs. L~eadbeater, are under
arrest. While Swandt Is not in the
vicinity, a warrant is out for his ar
rest, which is expected to take place
this morning in Minnesota. The ex-
act place was not revealed.
Love for Another Man.
Love for another man is the motive
forwarded by Smith rs the motive of
the murder by the wife. Deputy Sher-
liz Gates Phillips, who has charge of
Smith. says that the latter confessed
to him that Mrs. Leadbeater muir
dered her husband on the night of
May 4, between 10 and IL O'Clock.
He claims the woman was in love
with another man from whom she had
received an engagement ring before
marrying Leadbeater.
To fulfill her promise to this man,
Smith says, the woman, who Is 33
years old (the husband was 53) de-
cided to get Leadbeater out OF the
way, Smith, Swandt and Mrs. Swandt
are said to have taken sides with Mrs.
L~eadbeater and TO have assisted in
every possible way to owe up the
details of the crime.
Another motive Is that there had
been a family quarrel, resulting from
the sale by Swandt Of a stock Of
goods which he had traded for a farm
owned by Leadbeater in Iowa. He
squandered the proceeds and failed
to make an accounting to Leadbeater.
II Is possible, the authorities be-
lieve, that Swandt killed the msn to
settle this debt, and that Mrs. Lead
beaten, Mrs. Swandt and Smith helped
to conceal the murder.
Still another motive put forth by
Smith, is a promised marriage to
Smith IL the husband was gone. The
prisoner claims the woman had tried
to poison her husband two or three
times before, promising that she
would marry him.
She was confronted by Smith late
yesterday afternoon, but she refused
to talk.
Following the disappearance OF
Leadbeater, who was a prominent
farmer, the entire country became
aroused and suspicion at once pointed
toward Smith. Nothing was done In
the matter, however, until Richard
Leadbeater, a brother, Of Hayward,
Wis, came to Mankato several days
ago and started 4 systematic search
for his brother.

Woman lives In an old, old world.
She thinks the old thoughts, feels the

Shortly after mignight a craft was
