Mr.. Seely then proceeded to review

from all interstate carriers of all
phases of their operations, and the

he would take up the subject at once.
At the outset he emphasized the i'm
portance of the task confronting the
present land board or any board that
had the administration of vast
acreage of public lands. He said that
Colorado was unusually favored in
the matter of its land holdings, and
that at present there were "a million
acres in the state in the public do
main, either owned by the state or
by the national government. OF this
amount IG million acres are with
drawn from entry. He reviewed the
prices received for state lands by 9TH

WILL DISTRIBUTE RICHES.
Reports Say Rockefeller Will Bestow
Millions Upon Poor People.

Reports Say Rockefeller Will Bestow
Millions Upon Poor People.
New York, July 2S.-That John D.
Rockefeller, the oil king, is preparing
to distribute good part of his numer-
GUS millions in charity is predicted by
those who profess to have acquaint-
ance with the Rockefeller plans. 1t is
said Rockefeller has already transfer
red many millions to his son, John D.
Jr., so that the younger Rockefeller
may have the honor and fame of being
the dispenser of princely gifts.
According to the accepted version of
the rumored plan, the money will be
given directly to the poor through GER
tain Rockefeller channels. Charitable
institutions and colleges will not bene-
fit to any extent by the projected phi
lanthropy.
Like all other Rockefeller activities,
the distribution of wealth to the mass
es will be handled by company duly
Incorporated.
Just what method of charity will be
followed has not been ascertained. but
it is said the money will be given out
right to the needy and that little will
be handled as loans. Whatever loans
may be made will be without interest.
Rockefeller refused to discuss the
rumor in any part, but the activity of
his agents has lent a certain color of
truth to the report.

Wednesday, July 20.

Washington, July 28.-The confer
ence committee finished its work to-
day, but Taft is dspleased and may
not stand for the agreementgs, which
are:
Lumber, rough, $1.40 a thousand
feet. The house rate was 81 and the
senate rate S1.50. The senate differ
entails were adopted, making lumber
planed on one side dutiable at $3.50;
two des, 81. three sides, $2.5 y,
and four sides, $3.50. The senate
rates on lath and shingles, which were
higher than the house rates, also were
adopted.
Votes were taken on rough lumber
at $1.25 and at $3.50, but no agree
ment could be reached except at the
Sl.40 rate for rough, with the senate
differentials on finished lumber.
Gloves were made dutiable at rates
considerably in advance of the duties
fixed by the senate bill, which for the
most part were the same as the Ding
ley rates.
The print paper rate was fixed at
$3.75 ton. This is only 25 cents less
than the senate rate and $1.75 more
than the house rate. 1t is expected
that this rate will arouse the ire of the
house committee which investigated
the wood pulp and paper question.
Hides were left OH the free list, con-
tingent upon the adoption of the house
rule authorizing the conferees to go
below the house rates in fixing the rates
on leather and leather products.
If the report is laid before the house
on Friday, according to present pro-
gram, it will be taken up Saturday.

Washington, July 26.-Hides will be

ufactures is reduced below the house
rates. Unless the advocates of free
hides are able to carry out this plan,
the whole is to be called off. A decis-
ion to this effect was reached by the
tariff conferees today.
The conference adjourned tonight
until II o'clock tomorrow morning, but
the house members assemble half an
hour earlier that they may plan for
executing their part of the agreement.
1t is expected that they will have re-
port from the house leaders as to the
possibility of passing a rule comforting
jurisdiction upon them to agree to
lower rates on leather than those
named in the house bill.

SPAIN SUFFERS GREAT LOSS
Troops Are Driven Back With 5000
Killed and Wounded.

Madrid, July 3O.-Official dispatches
received here today admit that the
battle between Moorish tribesmen and
the Spanish forces outside of Melilla
July 27 was disastrous defeat. The
Moors cut off communication with the
Spanish outposts, and the main force
of the Spaniards was driven back under
the walls of the city, here fighting con-
tinued desperately in the city.
Mellilla is full of wounded.
The extent of the disaster is plainly
apparent from General Marina's dis
patches given out at the war office
today. He says:
'On July 27 the Moors cut the rail
road, severing communication with our
outposts. Our batteries shelled the
Moors, but the advance posts were en-
dangered and they had to be abandoned.
The situation at Melilla is grave, de-
spite the desperate bravery of tn
troops, who are now fighting under the
walls of the city.
"Our losses in the engagement were
General Pintos, colonel, two lieuten-
ant colonels, five captains and many
officers and subalterns and about 1000
men. The wounded number at least
1,500, including many officers. The
hippodrome is full of wounded soldiers.
Two generals were mortally wounded. 4"

Chicago Police Collected Nearly $3,-
100000 Year for Protection.
Chicago, July 28.-Astounding reve-
lations follow the partial investiga-
tion of vice conditions in Chicago,
made in connection with the present
crusade against police graft. Many
vicious industries were seen to be GEN.
tered in several districts of the city in
such proportions that the task of in
vestigating conditions in the territory
over which Inspector McCann had jur-
isdiction is gigantic and will unfold to
the grand jury's gaze spectacle many
times as loathsome as that presented
by the levee west of the river.
Conservatively estimated, the an
nual amounts in graft alleged to be
paid for police protection by resorts of
many kinds in the city, including dis
orderly houses, hotels, flats, rooming
houses, gambling houses, dance halls,
and saloons, made total of $685.
76O, nearly 5000 places contributing
to the sum, if such fund exists.
The largest part of this enormous
revenue is said to be paid by resort

Madrid, July 29.-The revolution in

There is much bloodshed. Artillery

The city is terror-stricken. The revo-

WHITES FEAR FOR SAFETY.
Bloody Troubles Expected With Reds
IN British Columbia.

Victoria, B. c., July 29.-The situa-
tion in Skeena, where 1900 members
of related Indian tribes threaten the
safety of the scattered whites, has
been little, if any improved by the in
vestigatlon conducted by Special Com
missioner Stewart, Of the Ottawa Office
of Indian affairs, who with Superin-
tendent Vowel and Chief of Indian
Police O'Connell returned here today
from Hazelton, hoping that clash be-
tween the reds and the whites may be
averted by diplomatic and immediate
government action, but admittedly far
from sanguine.
Others from the North today en-
phatically assert the Indians only
await the closing of navigation to ini-
tiate sanguinary hostilities. These in
dependent Northerners brought from
Hazelton a petition of the white resi-
dents of the Skeena for transmission
to Ottawa asking the immediate dis
patch of sufficient force of the
mounted police to guarantee their safe
ty and also protect the builders of the
Grand Trunk Pacific.

Washington, July 27. - "Lumber
duty of 81 900 or defeat for the
tariff conference report by the house" ,"
This in effect was the ultimatum given
President Taft tonight by Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means commit
tee, and a number of other congress-
men. The conference at the White
House lasted until late. Mr.. Payne
remained with the president after the
others had gone.
Some of those present stated posi-
lively that the senate must accede to
the rate of 81 1000 on lumber, as
