CLAIMED THAT HE HAS ILLEGAL.
LY FENCED LARGE TRACTS
OF LAND IN COLORADO.
DENIAL BY The SENATOR
1T Is CLAIMED COLORADO LEG.
ISLATURE ASSISTED HIM IN
RETURN FOR INFLUENCE.

Observation-Disclosures a Washington
printed sensational article in which
1t stated that A. S. Connolly OF Chey.
enne had filed charges with the Bal
tinger-Pinchot investigating committee
against Senator Warren of Wyoming,
in regard to his alleged fencing OF
public lands.
Connolly is also quoted as charging
that Warren had fenced large tracts
OF government lands in Colorado, and,
in return for promise that he would
secure United States mint and other
public buildings for Denver. the Colo
faro State Legislature had govern
ment lands declared state school
lands, and leased them to the War
rem Live Stock Company.
Senator Warren, Connolly charged,
deceived Secretary OF War Taft and
various army officers and secured a
large army post at Fort Russell, and
and induced the government to build
expensive reservoirs for water, and
now cannot get water for the reser-
voirs.
Connolly is further quoted as charg-
ing that Warren also deceived Presl-
dent Roosevelt and obtained his sup
port for Fort Russell and protection
in his land fencing, in return for
standing by him in the Brownsville
case.
Cheyenne.-Senator Warren Monday
night authorized the following inter-
view relative to the Connolly charges:
Neither Francis E. Warren nor
any company in which he is interested
has an acre of government land ille-
gally inclosed, nor any illegal fence
on or surrounding government land.
Upon Senator Warren's application,
the commissioner OF the general land
office, in the early part OF Secretary
Garfield's administration, had special
agents specifically examine everything
relating to Warren and the Warren
Live Stock Company land holdings,
their fences. etc. The government
agents report on file here and in
Washington justifies the denial above
made, and the conditions today are the
same as then. An examination of the
records of ST. Elizabeth's insane asy-
lum at Washington will disclose that
A. S. Connolly was an inmate of that
asylum and has since been considered
unbalanced and his statement is un.
worthy of attention. All of his allie
cations are untrue and may be consid-
cred the Nominations of a diseased
mind"
