ROOSEVELT TURNS
TABLE ON T|LLMAN
MAKES PUBLIC RESULT OF IN
vEsTIGATIoN OF OREGON
LAND DEAL.
FINDS THAT SOUTH CAROLINA
SENATOR SOUGHT PER
soNAL PROFIT.

Washington, Jan. 9.-President
Roosevelt last night made public de
tails of the investigations by post,
Office inspectors and secret service
agents of Senator Tillman's connec-
ton with an alleged 'land grab in
Oregon. AS he presents the evidence
to Senator Hale in response to the
latter's request, to the heads of varl-
Gus executive departments for state
ment of the operations of the secret
service, the president undertakes to
show:
That Senator Tillman used his in
fuence as a senator in the effort to
force the government to compel a
railroad corporation TO relinquish its
control of land grants from the
United States in order that he and
his family and his secretary, j. b,
Knight, might profit through the pur-
chase of some of the land; that the
senator used his government Thanking
privileges in numerous instances for
the conduct of private business.
Comparatively few senators were
favored with an opportunity of reading
the presidents report to Hale, but
those who did read the report, took
a serious view of it, although most OF
| the senators refused to believe that
Mr.. Tillman had ever done anything
| in violation of his oath as senator
Mr. Tillman did not permit the fact
that the president was giving OUT
charges against him to alter his de
| termination to make no statement un
| til Monday No effort was made Dy
him to conceal the fact that when ne
had learned facts concerning the rail-
road grant he had made an effort to
obtain portions of the land IN the
name of himself and members OF his
family. but he declared that as, at the
most, he could have gotten possession
! of only a few hundred acres, his Ell
| efforts were. after all. in behalf OF
| the public and not especially in his
own interest.
The communication W Oelldlol Hdie
lis nearly 5000 words long, and in adj
dition. there is appended numerous
exhibits. including copies of letters
written by Mr.. Tillman and his agent
William E. Lee, showing that they did
make an effort to secure several quar-
| ter sections of Oregon land, and the
reports of the postofice inspectors
who investigated the transactions OF
the land agents. It was through this
investigation that the alleged interest
of Mr.. Tillman was brought to light
and fatefully. it appears. it was at his
instigation that the inquiry was be
gun.

MEASURES
TO PROTECT LIVES
lCOUNCIL REGULATES RUNNING
| OF ICEYAcHTS ON MONONA
| AND MENDOZA.
AID. HoBBINS WOULD STOP
CARELESS DISTRIBUTION OF
INJURIOUS STUFFS.

Two ordinances and one resolution
to protect human life were introduced
at the council meeting last night. Two
of them were passed and the third
was sent to a committee.
In order to avoid accidents ON the
ice, Alderman George w. Smith intro
duced an ordinance forbidding the
running of iceboats within a half mile
from the city shores on Lakes Mono
ma and Mendoza. 1t provides a fine
of not less than SIS nor more than
$50 for each offense. Alderman Smith
Explained that the lives of skaters are
often endangered by iceboats running
close to shore Some aldermen were
of the opinion that half mile is too
much and the ordinance was amended
making the line half mile or such a
distance as may be established by the
chief of police The ordinance was
then passed.
An ordinance introduced by Alder
man Louis NJ Hobbins prohibits the
placing or throwing of soaps powders.
motions, medicines or anything injuri-
Gus to human life in front of houses
and on streets or the public places.
Alderman Hobbins declared that lit
tie child in the first ward came near
losing its life by eating pills which
had been left on a doorstep. He said
that the ordinance will not affect
those distributors who hand articles
to competent persons The ordinance
was referred to the ordinance commit
tee.
The council adopted a resolution
presented by Alderman Elmer E. Mills
and which insfructs the city attorney
to request the Madison Gas & Electr;
Co. to build a fence around the open
ling in Lake Monona in the rear of its
Eplant on Williamson street. The

General Gilbert the charges filed BY
Mark w Waite, former deputy COM

governor said yesterday afternoon that

MURDER MYSTERY
STILL UNSOL WE'D
BROWNING NOW BELIEVED TO
BE THE VICTIM OF MicHl-
GAN CRIME.
PREACHERS WHEREABOUTS UN-
kNoWN-MoTIvE FOR CRIME
MISSING FACTOR.

Port Huron, Mich, Jan. BY
means of two false teeth it was def
nitely established yesterday afternoon
that Gideon Browning of Adair was
the man who was murdered last Tues
day evening in Rattle Run" Methodist
church in Columbus township. With
part of the mystery which has en-
shrouded the brutal crime thus
cleared, the supervisors of ST. Clair
county Immediately offered a reward
Iof $500 for the arrest of Rev. John H
Carmichael of Adair, a pastor of the
church, and the man who was at first
supposed to have been killed, dismem-
befed and then burned in the stove.
The teeth which identified the dead
man were found when the ashes from
the stove were sifted. Yesterday aft
ernoon DR.. G. H. Browbeer of ST. Clair,
dentist who made Browning a set of
false teeth recently, examined them
and decided the blackened relics were
pal VI DlOWu SCI. HIS uCCiSIOu
satisfied Prosecuting Attorney Brown
that it was Browning who had been
killed and the supervisors immediate
lily offered a reward for Carmichael's
larrest. Strenuous efforts to discover
i some motive for the destruction of the
carpenter by the minister was fruit
less. Rumors that Carmichael had
been seen crossing the ST. Clair river
into Canada could not be corroborat-
led. An officer, sent to ST. Thomas
Ont, reported no trace of him there.
Mrs Carmichael and Miss Carmich-
ael wife and daughter of the minister,
were examined yesterday by the pros
ecuting attorney here and he stated
afterward that he was convinced that
they knew nothing of the murder nor
of the mans disappearance. The
statement made yesterday by Mrs
lCarmichael that her husbands sister
| is an inmate of an insane asylum in
West Virginia may explain some OF
the horrible features of the crime if
the authorities suspicious about Car
michael are borne out. Mrs. Carmich-
ael also said her husband was moody
and restless the night before he disap-
appeared and apparently was brooding
over something.
1t was also learned that Monday, the
day before the murder, Carmichael
came to the postoffice in Adair, ap-
lparently much agitated and perturbed
and received letter which he took
away without opening 1t is thought
this letter may have had some connec-
ltion with the strange intimacy be-
tween the minister and the carpenter
which had been noticed for number
of weeks before their Joint disappear
Iance and the crime in the church.
| But the motive and Carmichael's
whereabouts are still complete mys-
Itery
Carmichael Was Indiscreet.

To Remove Its Plant.
The Standard Oil company has an
option on the property formerly used
by Fischer & Niemann for a coal and

Paterson streets and Alderman Con-
stantine introduced an ordinance by
request granting permission to the
company to erect there for term Of
I25 years warehouse, tanks, and 9TH
er buildings necessary to their busl-
ness. Mayor Schubert stated that the
property adjoins that of the Valvoline
Oil company and that it would be a
good plan to confine the OIL companies
to one district. The company now
has it's warehouse and tanks on land
owned by the ST. Paul road at west
Madison and according to the mayor
it has been asked to remove from
there owing to the Drifting CHAM park

cepted and the mayor appointed julius

olutions which provide that East

BROTHER CHARLEY RETIREs.

At the eleventh hour Charles Taft has withdrawn as candidate for the United States senate from Ohio. Ieay- ing a clear field for Theodore Bur ton, who now represents his state in the lower house of congress. Taft, himself, in an interview that is fairly alive with self,abnegatiou and desire for harmony" states that he with drew for the good of the party.
 The millionaire newspaper owner has never been noted for his retiring disposition and the truth of the mat. tes is that he saw that he had no chance of election and withdrew after making dicker with the Ohio polid. cal leaders to succeed Senator Dick two years hence. It is also rumored that President-Elect Taft found his brothers senatorial aspirations some what embarrassing and requested him to step out of the contest.
 Whatever motives inspired his act ions. it is indubitable that he has re- tired and there will be no widespread
