Government Claims Patents to land in

Wis.,, Company Through Fraud
Proceedings Begun Years Ago.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 12.-Forty
thousand acres of timber land worth
from $1,O0O,oOO to $3,OO0,OoO is at
stake in the case in which testimony
was taken today at the federal build
ing by Attorney Peyton Gordon of
Washington, a special assistant to the
attorney general of the United States.
The proceedings were begun several
years ago by the federal government
against the Barber Lumber company
of Eau Claire, Wis, to cancel patents
that the government had issued be-
tween 1901 and 1908, for timber land
in the Boise basin, Idaho. The gov
ernment's complaint declared that the
patents had been obtained through a
fraud.
The case will be tried this year. In
the meantime, Mr.. Gordon has been
securing testimony on behalf of the
attorney generals office in Idaho,
California and the state of Washing
ton.

HILL TERRITORY
BEING INVADED
Hartman Planning to Steal March ON
Great Northern Magnate by Gain
ing Strategic Points.
PROFOUND SECRECY
Parties of Engineers Headed for Mon
tana and Idaho to Run Lines for
New Bitter Root ExtensiOn-Crews
Sworn to Utmost Secrecy.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 12.-The
Evening Telegram says:
Forward steps toward an early in
vasion of exclusive Hill territory are
being taken by the Hartman inter-
ests. ....-.-
The profound secrecy with which
the recent moves have been made in
dicate that the plan is to steal a
march and gain as many strategic
points as possible before the details of
the play have been discovered.
1t is learned authoritatively that
several parties of engineers are now
headed for Montana and Idaho ter
ritory for the purpose of running
lines for the new Bitter Root extern
sion of the Hartman system in the
northwest. One set of engineers, in
charge of Chief Location Engineer
Chase, was dispatched to Chief Engi-
neer Geo. W. Boschke from the Port
land headquarters last Wednesday,
and will have headquarters at Mis-
soula, Mont.
Another engineer from the crew
was dispatched to Lewiston, Idaho,
Saturday night, in charge of an as
sistant engineer from the local Of
fees. They will do reconnaissance
work eastward from Lewiston. A
third party will leave Portland and
probably will join the first outfit now
being established at Missoula.
These crews have been sworn to
the utmost secrecy as to the object
of their mission into the latest terri
tory in which Hartman will carry his
warfare against Jas. ]. Hill.
So far as can be learned here, the
plan is to extend the Bitter Root
line from Lewiston, Idaho, the pres
ent eastern terminus of the Lewiston
Riparia branch, rather than to fol-
low the route of the Northern Pacific
from Wallace to Missoula

MikadO Government Negotiating With

NEW YORK, April 12.-The Jap
anese government is negotiating with
an American builder of submarine
boats for the purchase of plans and
for new type of sub
marine of smaller model than the
type now in common use, but of dou-

the same destructive power as the
present type. The purpose of the
Japanese government, if the negotia-
tions are successfully concluded, is to
send draughtsmen to New York to
make drawings under the direction of
the American builders, but to build
all the new boats in Japan.

The American People:
"Oh, America, how vast is your op-

Endowed with measureless re-
sources, the undounded confidence of
your own people; favored with the
concentrated light of earth and heav-

with this mighty magnificent force
if you are permitted to realize your
ambition to lead the world whether
will you lead it to utter abandon
ment of faith in the eternal and the
neglect of every duty flowing out of
it, to senseless worship of Mammon
to useless frivolities? No, I am sure
you won't and | blush at the very
mention of such things and denounce
them with all my soul.
Where else can you lead this poor.

righteousness, purity, so honor kind
ness and simplicity to self-sacrific-

America, l invite you to the actual
realization of the Christian principles
you profess and to practical imitation
of Jesus Christ who came out of His
heaven to seek and to save.
Come along then. let us grid up
our loins and go out of our heaven
and put our arms around perishing
multitudes and bring them to Christ,
purity, peace in paradise.
81 invite you to make our common
Christianity an ungainsayable reality
and thus wipe out the reproach fast
gathering over us that it is nothing
more than exploded tradition, fash
ionable association or a lifeless cere-
money. Then when the wondering
world asks: In what country can
find the thing described by the let
ter of the Bible and set for forth in
the life of Jesus Christ"

HOUSE RECALLS
TARIFF BILL
In the Confusion Petroleum Was Lett
OF of the Free List by
Mistake.
WILL Be CORRECTED
Much Opposition Develops to ResOlu-
tiOns Appointing Several JanitOrs
and ApprOpriating Money for Ex-
penses Incident to Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The
house was in session two hours and
Is minutes today. The first action
taken was the adoption of a resolu-
ton calling upon the senate for a re-
turn of the Payne tariff bill next
Thursday in order that it might be
corrected so as to include products
of petroleum in the free list.
During the confusion incident to the
passage of the bill Friday, it was be-
lieved it included this provision but
it has developed that such was not the
case, although it clearly was the in
tention to include these products
along with crude and refined pc
troleum.
The house especially authorized its
enrolling clerk to make the correc-
ton and he can make the change with
in few minutes. 1t will, therefore,
cause no delay in tariff legislation. 1t
is understood the senate will not OBJ
ject to the return of the measure.
There was must opposition to two
resolutions: one to appoint several
janitors and the other to appropriate
a sum for the expenses of the house
incident to the extra session.
The first was defeated by being laid
on the table and the second was
adopted.
After sending the census bill to
conference, the house at 2:15 p. m.
adjourned until Thursday.

amended tariff bill Is now ON the sem
ate calendar and consideration Of the
measure will begin Thursday. 1t was
laid before the finance committee with
the Democratic members present, at
10 o'clock this morning, and after 80
minutes parleying a vote was taken
on the question of making a report
to the senate today, all of the Repub-
licans voting in the affirmative and
the Democrats in the negative.
Soon after the senate met, Senator
Aldrich presented the amended bill.
Senator Daniel, on behalf Of the mi
nority protested that the Democrats
had not been given an opportunity to
examine the measure, and Mr.. AID
rich replied that they could make
their examination by Thursday. He
stated also that as the majority is
Republican and for the bill, it's course
in fastening the report was warrant
ed. AS reported, the bill does not
contain all of the changes in rates
which the finance committee proposes
to make.
Although several important amend
ments have been made, such as the
women's gloves and hosiery, the plac-
ing of works of art on the free list
and the assessment of a duty on iron
ore, the revenue-p producing possibili-
ties of the bill are little changed.
The changes are mainly in the
schedule covering luxuries, the en-
tire liquor schedule being materially
advanced. The increase on wines and
spirits is expected to bring in about
$3,0O0,000 additional revenue. Sena-
tor Aldrich states that the committee
realizes that the increases raised will
not counterbalance the loss in reve-
nues resulting from reductions and
the lengthening of the free list. This
shortage will necessitate further in
creases ON certain luxuries and the
committee intends to report more
changes.
In discussing the revenue features
of the bill, Senator Aldrich insisted
that as it will be amended by the SEN
ate the Payne bill will provide suff-
cient funds to meet the expenses Of
the government without resorting to
any but import taxes. In this con-
nection those articles which the fed
eral government purchases in large
quantities in foreign markets are
provided with lower rates of duty.
This is in accordance with the plan
recently launched in the senate
through the appointment of new
committee on expenditures to reduce
the running expenses of the govern
ment.
No maximum and minimum provi-
sions or administrative features which
include additional forms of taxation
were reported. Several of the reve-
nue. features depend upon the COM
InlLLO0 s dCClOu ESSdiulu6 IliCSC oCS-
tions.
Besides the dutiable and free lists,
the only additional provision of the
bill was the Philippine free trade pro-
vision While not changing the pur-
port of the Philippine section, the
committees report included a new
draft of this provision by which its
successful operation will be assured.
Changes made in the cotton and
wool schedules are of interest largely
to the manufacturers of cotton and
wooden clothes.
The new provisions and the ar
rangement of the duties on the va
rious grades of clothing eliminate the
ambiguity which caused difficulty in
carrying out the provisions of the ex-
listing law without changing the ad
