 fact was, that in January, 1909, in the last administration, executive orders were made withdrawing from public settlement l,500,000 acres at the in stance of the reclamation service for the conservation of water power sites. soon alter you became secretary, you brought this order to my attention and said it included great deal of land that had no water power sites on it, running back many miles from the rivers, and that it included much land which ought to be opened to public set uement, that you had applied to the reclamation bureau to know whether it was desired for reclamation purposes and that they had recommended that it be returped. to the public domain.
 No Power Site Filings
 The order revealing withdrawals of million and half acres was made in April. Sufficient information was pro. cured from the geological survey to per init an order withdrawing the land up. on which were water power sites in many cases and with this withdrawal severed about 300,000 acres instead of 100000. The form of the new ordes was such that it set aside all filings and entries made prior to its going into effect and as matter of fact, not one single filing has been attempted on any of the water power sites since the orig inal order of withdrawal in January, 1909.
 "The story as to the fifteen thousand acres in Montana then presented by the governor was reduced to 15s acres near the Missouri river in Montana, or four tracts of forty acres each, and it now turns out from the examination of rec ords that these filings were re.filings of entries made ten years before; that the re-flings were made on the 1lth of June, 1909. more than two weeks after the withdrawal of water power sites in Montana, and that the four tracts of forty acres each filed upon have no water power sites on them at all.
 Withdrawals Hastily Made
 IL further appears from the report of the director of the geological sur vey that the order of withdrawal of January, 1909, was hastily made by townships and by reference to mad equate maps, that it included large areas not within miles of any river or stream, and that it failed to include many valuable water power sites in the immediate vicinity. From the same reliable source it is learned that under the withdrawals made by your depart ment from time to time, beginning in May last, there are now withheld from settlement awaiting the action of con gress 50 per cent more water power sites than under previous withdrawals.

and that this has been effected by the withdrawal of only one-ffth of the amount of the land. In connection with the same charge, weight has been given to the fact that you have declined to carry out the contracts made by the reclamation service with homesteaders and entrymen, by which certificates were issued to entrymen for work done and material furnished with view to enlarge the reclamation projects.
 "You brought up the question of the legality of such certificates in a cabinet meeting and were directed to submit them to the attorney general. That officer has very properly, in my .judg. ment, decided that it is at variance with the explicit prohibition in the reclamation law to issue such certif- cates, that the laws fundamental man date is that no project shall be entered upon until there is money enough in the reclamation fund to pay for the pro ject or the part thereof contracted for.
 "The certificate system is in fact a system for borrowing labor and ma terial and making the government debtor to intending settlers-a system that is inhibited by law and cannot but result ultimately in disaster. Of course, those who have accepted such certif. cates for labor and material in good faith ought to be recompensed and l shall ask congress at the next session for special relief for them

Should Continue Reclamation

''ln the meantime, the work of rec ever funds are available, with all dis patch possible, and l am assured that this is being done hope that after you have made personal investigation the finances you will be able to report to congress a showing of exactly what has been done, what ought to be done, and what additional legislation, if any, is needed to further the great and i'm. portant work.
 Another instance in your conduct which has been mentioned as indicative of your purpose to block the general plan of conservation of natural re- sources was your refusal to carry out contract made in the last administra. tion between the secretary of the inter ion and the secretary of agriculture, by which the interior department dele gated to the forestry bureau of the agricultural department the power and duty to conserve forests on the Indian reservations, and to expend under the control of the forestry bureau money appropriations to be expended by the Indian bureau for such conservation of Indian lands.
 Your deelination to carry out the contract was made necessary by ruI. ing of the comptroller. whose ruling is final and without appeal, even to the president, and that such an arrange. ment is delegation of responsibility and authority for the expenditure of money which the appropriation by con. gress for the Indian bureau did not au- thorize.

STAKE HOLDER FAILS TO
RETURN WITH MONEY
Victim of Card Sharps Seeks
Aid of Police

Card sharps swindled Charles Bianchi
of 662 Broadway out of 500 by the in
PRODUCTION of cold deck" Saturday
night in the saloon of Vincent Kueicli
5SS Jackson street. according to a COM
plant made at police headquarters By
Bianchi yesterday.
The game played was said to have
been "bocci.'
Bianchi informed the police that he
was dealt an almost invincible hand and
that the cards he held looked SO good
TO him that he wagered 500 that his
cards were the highest. In order to ex-
hibit the hands when the final call was
made it was suggested that one of the
party act as stake holder and decide
the winning hand. The stake holder
was selected, and he excused himself
for minute, saying he wished to bor-
row a book Of rules from friend of his
in the saloon. Bianchf says the stake
holder failed to return.
The detectives investigating the case
learned that Bianchi met with profess
sional card sharps and that the stake
holder was chosen in order to avoid
arousing the suspicious of the proprie-
tor OF the saloon.
