The Cunningham claims and
the Wilson cases offer illustra-
lions of the old law lodging meth
cd. CLAWS, after them with a
sharp stick, embodied the Roose-
welt policy. Ballinger and his
|lieutenants have tried both to
protect those interested from the
laws pains and penalties, and
also to help them get away with
their big hunks of land. Such
is the story of the CLAWS testi-
mony.
Here, In his cold, incisive lam
guage on the stand, is a picture of
Iplutocracy in partnership with pol
itics to loot the public domain.
The combination is shown to be in
complete control of one great de-
partment of the government, and
the gang so drunken with power
and plumber, so boastful in their
success, as to parade it abroad.
to swagger and brag of their grip
on the machinery of government
and the property of the people.
Washington has seen nothing like
this spectacle, even in the days of
the Credit Mobilier and Star Route
fraud scandals. The postoffice in
vestigation exposed mere petty
larceny compared with this. Here
the charges made are of graft by
the square mile, of the plumber of
hundreds of coal mines.
Nevertheless the joint commit
tee means to apply the whitewash
brush if it can.

BEARDSTOWN, ILL.,, Feb. g.
1t isn't every outfielder that can
have Pop" Arson of Chicago
Colts fame come along in the
midst of his Is days suspension
and get a disposition to play a
game that lands him among
Muggsy McGraw's recruits.
That's what happened to Fred
Kommers of the Beardstown Ill
inois-Misouri league. Kommers is
a protege of Arson, and ever since
he played semi-professional ball in
Chicago the veteran has been
boosting him to McGraw.
Arson turned up at Bearnstown
presumably with orders to take the
outfielder if he still looked good.
Kommers had drawn 10 days the
day before for pulling the umpires
mask about 10 inches from his
face and allowing it to snap back.
Arson got permission for him to
play one game, and after it was
over New York got him for $500.

personal and private journal of
Clarence Cunningham, a most in
discreet document. CLAWS has
produced the most unexpected
letters and kilograms. He has
qualified as a sure huff Sherlock
Holmes.
The testimony of CLAWS, too,
made it very clear to the average
citizen, who is not up on groups
and claims and patents and west
ern land laws, Just what this fuss
was all about.
The law, prior to 1908, limited
q citizen to 160 acres of the sort
of public domain now in question,
and a company to 800 acres. The
law required citizen or company
to furnish affidavits that this land
was to be used and exploited by
that citizen or company. In short,
the intent of the law was to dis
tribute the public domain equally
and equitably among the people.
1t was intended to prevent corpor-
ations and combines from hogging
it. The corporations and the COM
bines early discovered the simple
device of hiring a number of peo-
pie to secure land and then turn it
over to the company. This method
was winked at, until one Thee.
Roosevelt undertook to square the
intend of the law with the enforce
ment of it. The resultant d howl
was loud one. Ballinger's friends

COMET MAX FORM
DEADLY POISON
IN THE AIR

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. O.
That the approach to earth Of
Halley's comet may be attended
with dire consequences to terHs-
tial life, is the opinion of Prof.
Edwin Booth of the chemistry de-
partment of the University of Cat
ifornia.
Following the discovery of cy-
anogen bands in the tail of the
wanderer by scientists at the
Yerkes observatory, Booth today
declared the danger from this gas
alone was Incompatible to that
offered by the combination of the
cyanogen with the hydrogen of
the air. This union, he stated.
would produce hydro-cyanic acid,
one of the most deadly poisons
known to science.
THE rarity of the cyanogen
that has been marked in the tail
of the comet will determine the
consequences when we are en-
veloped by it," Booth said. ely
dro-cyanic acid will be formed in
more or less quantities, but uni sss
the gas is of greater density than
is apparent, there Is little danger
for us.
eff the substance resulting In a
combination of these gases is
dense enough, the people of the
earth will experience the same
sensation when the comets tail
envelopes them as insects do when
they are exterminated with the
deadly stuff"
