GIGANTIC STEAL
IS UNEARTHED
Secretary Garfield Secures AStOund-
ing EpidenCe-Will Fight to
Recover Land.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Information
of a startling character of alleged
wholesale and astounding frauds
upon the public lands has come into
the possession of Secretary of tie In
terror Garfield, through special
agents in the field. The serious allie
cation is made that approximately
$110,000.000 worth of lands in states
principally west of the Mississippi
river have been fraudulently acquired
within the past two years by corpu-
rations and individuals.
With view of recovering these
lands, Secretary Garfield sent letters
to Chairmen Hale and Tawney of the
senate and house appropriation COM
mittees respectively, asking for an
additional appropriation of 100000
which, if granted with that already
asked for, will give the department
$1,000,000 for that purpose. The spe-
cific purpose of the appropriation re-
quested is for preventing "depreda-
lions upon public timber, protecting
public lands, examining swamp lands,
ETC." 1t is stated that there is rea-
sonable prospect of recovering much
of this alleged fraudulently acquired
land if the appropriation is promptly
made.
1t also is pointed out that while
$1,OOO,0O0 may seem large, it is not 1
per cent of the commercial value of
the land which the government may
hope to recover. Secretary Garfield
also submits a statement of H. H.
Schwartz, chief of the field service,
showing over $4,000 distinct cases OF
alleged land frauds demanding fur
ther investigation.

BAILEY TALKS
ABOUT SOCIETY.
Opposes Increase in Presidents Sal
airy and Says Honor Should
Ee Sufficient.

Washington, Jan. 19.-By vote OF
81 to q the senate fixed the salary
of the speaker Of the house of repre-
sentatives at $4,000 instead of $12.-
600, as at present and instead of $780,
600 as proposed by the committee ON
appropriations.
A vigorous speech against any In
crease was made by Senator Bailey,
and numerous addresses were made
in support of the proposition. Mr.
Bailey declared that every position in
the gift Of the government should be
sought for the homer and not for the
emolument, and that the salaries
should be only sufficient to provide
proper living and education of chr
6ren
"But we are told here that the sal
aries are inadequate to provide enter
tainment which high officials are ex-
pected to give said Mr.. Bailey. II
am inclined to think that it would be-
a fortunate thing to reduce the sal
aries, if to reduce them would reduce
the amount of entertaining. l have
found that men who entertain most
are rot the men who do the public
work best, and if these men want to
srond their time in entertainment
they should not spend the peoples
money"
Speaking of lavish entertainments,
Mr.. Bailey said: IF private citizen
of New York wants to give a feast TO
monkeys he merely wants to enter
tain his ancestors, and he has a right
to do it. If the president is not rich
enough to give a great banquet, let
him give a modest one and invite
men for what they are worth instead
of for what they possess" Mr.. Bailey
said very few of the working men I'm
congress waste much of their time"
at these great entertainments.
Referring to the $80,500 allowed
the president above his salary for
maintenance of the White House, the
speaker stated that as long as there
was poorhouse he did not believe
in these expenditures, and when pau
pers cease to swarm in the great
cities the country may be called pros
porous. Speaking of entertainments
in Washington, Mr.. Bailey character
lied them as places where the men
dress up like head walters and the
ladies hardly dress at ALL
Senator Raynor endeavored to
have the senate adopt a resolution
calling on the attorney general for
information as to whether the presi-
dent had ordered suit brought
against the New York World and the
Indianapolis News because of alleged
libel in publications relating to pur-
chase of the Panama canal property,
and under what statute this action
had been taken. Mr. Raynor declared
that there was no statute authorizing
such legal procedure and that the at
tempt to sue the newspapers in the
name of the United States, If entered
upon, was an attempt to apply the
sedition laws long since repealed. He
declared there was no law under
which the libel laws could be made
to apply to statements respecting the
government.
