Commissioner BENNETT Says Alaska
% Claims All Held Up.

COnAAAAAAIOneE DCnneN SAyH ALASKA
" Claims All Held Up.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-According to a
statement issued today by COMMISSIONS
bennett of the general land office, none of
the applications to enter Alaska coal lands
has passed to entry. 1t is also shown that
Of tho Alaska coal cases preliminary ad-
verse reports have been received covering
about 100 entries. The Cunningham group
Of thirty-three entries, upon which aymen
was made in 1905 and 1907, and which will
cut an important figure in the Balllnger-
Pinchot inquiry, are now in hearing upon
adverse report of agents, Final reports
have been received upon about 100 entries,
upon a large number Of which the general
land office has recommended criminal pro-
ceedings a.. Adverse proceedings to cancel
entries have been directed upon most of the
entries finally reported upon by agents.
In the United States at large final ad-
verse reports from agents have been re-
ceived during the last twelve months upon
cases involving over $780, 900 acres of land
within the United States. Much Of this
is coal land.
1t appears from these reports made dur
ing the last eight years. coal lands within
the United States have been obtained by
fraud to the extent Of more than $1,000
acres, Ihese entries usually cover the
very best Of the coal and are estimated as
being worth $40, 600 700. 1t is declared that
II mined on a royalty sufficiently low to
enable Independent operators to compete
with existing coal combinations the returns
to the government would reach over $780,
100000. All OF these patents are from five
to eight years old.
Indications are that the fiscal year end
ing June. 1910, will show $1,000 acres OF pat
ented land recovered and that the cash
collections will approach or exceed the
81, 1900 appropriated for the work. Re
ports Involving over SO. 600 In timber tres
pass also have been made during the year.
Suits have been filed In many Of the cases.
During the six months ending January 1,
s247 .621 was collected on account OF public
lands and during the fiscal year 1sO8-O9,

ceding four years were less than 500, 600.

PERRY'S WORK SAVES CANE
Good Work by Cornhusker Captain
Beats Ames.
FINAL SCORE STANDS 90 TO 81

LINCOLN, Jan. 2-(Special Telegram
a margin Of two points gave Nebraska
another victory over the Ames Aggies at
the university armory Saturday, and put
the local five another notch nearer the
championship title OF the Missouri valley.
The game was desperately fought, and q
lead that the visitors gained early in the
bocond half was only overcome by rapid
fire passing on the part Of the -Cornhuskers
In the closing minutes Of the game, when
two brilliant throws by Captain Perry
placed the score at 80 to q In favor of his
team.
The sturdy Aggies frog the Iowa state
school battled with grim determination
throughout the contest and shot baskets
with such precise aim that they held the
score to 1e to 16 in the first session and
nosed into the lead by five points in the
first ten minutes of the last round. Much
faster team play marked the work Of the
farmers tonight than was displayed yes
terday.
Captain Perry starred for the Cornhusk-
ers' getting five goals from fleld ana keep
ing his guard from once locating the bas-
ket. His activity In racing after the ball
permitted him to break up many passes by
the Aggies hat probably would nave re-
suited in goals,
But even the hard work of Captain Perry
would not have Melted the Cornhuskers a
victory had not fresh men been sent into
the game for Nebraska in the last session.
Jones and Schmidt replaced Hutchinson
and lngersoll, respectively, and infused the
ginger that forced Ames to defeat. Schmidt
put the ball in the rings twice during the
first five minutes of his play, while Jones
dropped 1t into the netting once during that
period. AT left forward Herbert was a
real hero and dropped the ball into the
hole for five goals from field and five from
fouls, making a total of fifteen points that
he earned.
Veltrop, center, was a puzzle for his
opponent, Petrashek, and nearly snatched
away the Cornhusker's glory.

Germany Sends
Hostile Note
Far from Satisfied with Position of
United States on This
Proposition.

BERLIN, Jan. 2s.-The American note, or
the tariff is not satisfactory to the Ger
man government. A dispatch which was
delivered to the Foreign office last night
was ~deciphered in in~stallments today, be-
Ing examined page by page by the officials
concerned.
The first paragraphs Of the note, which
were favorable TO the German contention,
gave the impression that the controversy
was ended, but as the note proceeded Il
was perceived that various points have yet
to be considered and that Washington con-
tinues to hold positions to which Germany
is not prepared TO yield at the present time.
Tn feeling at the Foreign office is ons
Of great disappointment. and although there
ia no talk OF tariff hostIlities. 1t is evident
that there must be. a further exchange OF

Further Success.

LINCOLN, Jan, 23.@Special with two
victories over Ames nailed to their credit,
the Cornhusker basket ball shooters are
again in line for taking the championship
honors in the northern section of the
Missouri valley conference league. When
Drake comes here for two games next
Friday and Saturday, the local five will
be able to tell how 1t is to come out In
the race.
II two games can be won from the
Des Moines school the Cornhuskers will be
placed with half of the series to their
side and they Will have to be defeated in
all o games that will be played in re-
turn at Ames and Drake In order to be
thrown out Of the race. The two games
with Drake here this week and one with
each Ames and Drake on the return
would assure the local five of the title
again this winter n give It a chance to
meet the southern champions for the val
ley prize.
In local circles, however, Drake is
thought to be a sitter proposition han
tho Ames Aggies proved, and the Corn
huskers tArp likely TO have a hard time
taking two games from the Des Moines
players at the end Of this week. Ames
was a much better aggregation than the
five that represented that school last win

two defeats. Only brilliant playing at
the closing OF each game allowed the Ne

the reason for this is found in the desire
