IN FOREST LAND CONTESTS.
New Order to Protect Settlers and
Government.

In order to protect the interests of
the government as well as those of the
settlers and other claimans of land
within the national forests the de-
partments of the interior and agri-
culture have entered into a CO.
operative program that will govern
the prosecution of contested cases.
Under its terms both the general
land Office and the forest service will
be adequately represented at the hear
ings of the registers and receivers of
land offices in all cases involving for
est lands. The department of agri-
culture is given the same right as
private contestant to appeal to the sec
rotary of the interior from any decis-
ion rendered by the commissioner of
the general land office.
Instructions have been issued to the
field officers of the forest service di-
recting that no contests be initiated by
the government for slight and techni-
cal noncompliance with the law by
claimants who have entered lands in
the national forests in good faith.
When it is apparent, however, that
an entry is merely subterfuge to
acquire title to the timber lands or
to control water, water power sites
or rights of way, the instructions
state, contest should be begun even
If the technical requirements of the
law appear to have been fulfilled.

WOMEN DOWN ON POLICE.
Suffrage Demonstration in London Is
Spectacular.

London,-Half million women
marched in body to Hyde park Sat
urday afternoon in protest against the
action of the government in shelving
the franchise bill, granting the ballot
to women with proper qualifications.
This was the most spectacular incident
in the English suffrage movement.
Thousands looked on and cheerd while
the women waved flags and cheered
for the cause Many became hys-
terical in their excitement.
Many women took part. Miss
Maude Roosevelt second cousin of
Theodore Roosevelt, made speech, and
Alice Davidson of Columbia university
was also in line. Professor Martin of
Leland Stanford university spoke. Mrs.
0. P. Belmont was advertised as
speaker, but she slipped away from
London and went to Paris on the plea
that a relative was i'll.
The police were unable to handle the
crowd. A number of the foot police
were bowled over and nearly trampled
to death before they could be rescued
by mounted troops.

SEN. HUMMELSHINE,.
IN The POLICY FOLLOWED BY
CANNON and ALDRICH.
Criticized Them for Action in Support
of Railroad Bill of Wickersham' In
Speech in Kansas says IL
Was in Direct Reputation of Party
Platform.

Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa,
in his speech before the Chautauqua at
Peabody, Kan, Saturday, asserted that
Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon
were traitors to their party, If not to
the country, when they gave their sup
port to the Wickersham railroad bill as
it came from the attorney general s
Office and demanded that it go through
congress.
"'That bill was a direct reputation
of the republican party platform OF
1908, and it was directly in the inter
ests of the railroads and not in the
interest of the great common people
of the country" said Senator Cummins.
"Speaker Cannon and Senator
Aldrich, and men of their class, seem
to think the republican party was
formed to make men rich. l think it
was born to make men free. They
think it was born to make millionaires;
I believe it was born to drive misery
out of this country.
"Senator Aldrich has vigorously OPP
posed all regulation of the railroads
by congress ever since the interstate
commerce commission was introduced
in 1887. I was born and always have
been a republican, but I can not and
will not follow the leadership of a
traitor to his party and the people,"
Senator Cummins spoke in big
tent where the heat was intense, but
he continued his address for two
hours to large audience.
