WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, Startling
information Of alleged astounding
frauds upon public lands has come
into possession Of Secretary Garfield
through special agents. Allegation is
made that approximately $iioOOOOO0
worth OF lands in states principally
west Of the Mississippi river have
been acquired fraudulently withiq the
last two years by corporations and
individuals. With view to recover
ing these lands, Secretary Garfield
sent letters today to Chairman Hale
and Chairman Tawney Of the Senate
and house appropriation committees
respectively, asking for additional ap-
Of $5OO,00O which, il
granted with that already asked for
will give the department 100000
for that purpose. Garfield also sub
mits the statement Of Fl. Schwartz,
chief Of field service showing over
$4,000 distinct cases Of alleged fraud
demanding further investigation. Of
such cases awaiting investigation
here are in Oregon 1862, California

There was q complete absence Of
smoking In the council chambers last
night during the regular Monday
night session, and the change was 50
noticeable al to cause attention, for
the atmosphere was 50 clear and salu-
brious that there was no discomfort
Perhaps few Of the inveterate smok-
efs may have missed their cigars a
little but they said nothing, while the
absence of the smoke be-clouded at
mosphere lent an cir Of decency and
dignity that perhaps have been
slightly lacking before.
1t was the first real business ses-
sion Of the new council and every
thing passed off harmoniouly and
with precision. Much business is
piled lip, and a considerable amount
was gone over last night. The fact

fees, and his remarks were so sensible
and timely as to be well worthy Of

ut would appear to me-" said the
mayor chat each member Of the
committees should be given virtually
the same consideration, The mere
fact that one is made the chairman
does not mean that he should take
upon himself all the rights Of the
committees. The committees should
act as a whole. In that way the bene-
fit Of the consideration and Judgment
OF each Is secured, and the purpose of
the committee is secured. We have
heard complaints Of the chairmen as
suming powers that were not really
theirs, and ! hope that It will not
occur among Us, The committees
should act as a whole, though Of
course the chairman should have the
right Of calling his committee to-
gether, and Of presiding in committee
meetings"

Washington, ID. c., Nov 20.-The
United States government has de-
manded an explanation of the sum-
mary execution by the Nicaraguan
troops of two American citizens.
Leonard Grace and Leroy Cannon,
who were charged with participating
in the present revolution against the
Nicaraguan government.
Secretary of State Knox sent a dip
lomat note to Senior Rodriguez, the
charge d'affaires of Nicaragua in this
city. The vote was short and polite
from diplomatic viewpoint but was
emphatic in its diction and signif-
canoe.
Instructions were also forwarded
to Henry Caldera, the American vice
consul at Managua, asking for a com
plete report on the case.
Secretary Knox's demand will be
backed up by naval demonstration
on both the Atlantic and the Pacific
sides of Nicaragua The cruiser Des
Moines of 5000 tons displacement now
at Colon, has been ordered to the At
lantic side of Nicaragua. The gun
boat Vicksburg of 1910 tons, now at
San Jose de Guatemala, will go to
Corinto on the Pacific side Both of
these vessels will arrive at their des-
tinations within twenty-four hours.
Several more vessels are available
for duty in Nicaraguan waters if need
ed. In addition, there is a force of
about 500 marines in the canal zone
that can be hurried to Nicaragua in
case of emergency.

MRS, STETSON
HAS SUFFERED
COLLAPSE
At Friends Home Undergoing
Christian Science Treatment
BOSTON ORDEAL WAS SEVERE
Strain of Three Days Rapid Fire
q 80
Questioning too Much for Wo-
man of Her Years.

New York, Nov. 20.-A report
spread through the congregation OF
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
yesterday that Mrs. Augusta b. Sete-
son, the deposed leader who was eX-
communicated by the Mother Church
on Thursday after a three days or
deal, in which she faced Mrs. Eddys
directors. has broken down under the
strain and is now at the home of
friend in this city under the care OF
Christian Science practitioners.
Those who have seen Mrs. Stetson
since her return say she has appeared
to be on the verge of a nervous
breakdown. The strain OF the three
days of rapid-ire questioning by the
Mother Church Directors was an or
deal under which woman even
younger than Mrs. Stetson would
have quailed. She is nearly 20 years
old. And when she went on to Bos-
ton she was not strong.
Those who know Mrs. Stetson best
say that no physician would be called
in, even we're she to collapse utterly.
The teachings of Christian Science
would not allow that, and Mrs. Stet-
son, as she has proclaimed, is still
true to its beliefs.
The trustees of the First Church
held a short meeting yesterday. When
the meeting was over it was announc-
ed that no action upon Mrs. Stetson s
accommodation had been taken
and that only few routine matters
had been taken up.
AS to when another meeting of the
Trustees will be called to act on Mrs.
Stetson's resignation and to decide
whether her name shall be dropped
from the rolls of the First Church
here will depend largely upon Virgil
o. Strickler, the First Reader. The
church rules provide that a call for
such action should come from the
First Reader. Mr.. Stickler had moth
ing to say on the subject yesterday.
