WASHINGTON'S HEIRS,
Increment to Pay for Loss of
Land IN Ohio.
TFrom The Tribun. Bureau. ]

Washington, ian. Is, - Representative
Lamb. of Virginia. introduced bill to-day
providing that s3oO,10o be paid by the gov
ernment to Colonel Robert e. Lee, jr., ad-
ministrator de bonis non of George Wash
ingtoB's estate, fer the alleged loss of land
IN Hamilton aud Clermont counties, Ohio,
which originally belonged to the first Presi-
dent. There can be no doubt that some
difficulty will be experienced by Mr.. Lamb
IN obtaining the massage of the bill. but an
even more difficult task would await the
administrators of the claim should they be
called upon to find the rishtful heirs of
General Washington.
The claim of Colonel Lee rests on the
following basis: Lord Dunmore of Virginia
issued a land warrant 10 John Rootes in
1853. which was bought from him by George
Washington. Later the Legislature of Nir-
glnia passed joint resolution which pro-
vided that all persons who. served In the
army and held land warrants might ex-
change them for warrants which would
permit them TO locate on the vacant lands
reserved on the western side of the Ohio
River for officers and soldiers of the Cont
mental army. General Washington is said
to have obtained 3.051 acres in this manner.
According 10 Colonel Lee, the surveys were
confirmed by Congress, but later deputy
surveyor from Virginia made three entries
completely covering the Washington loea-
tions. Other persons bought the land. and
Colonel Lee now comes 10 Congress for
recompepse.
The matter has been under consideration
IN Congress before, and its publicity has
resulted IN greatly increasing the living
heirs of General Washington. Colonel Lee
has received dozens of letters from near
relatives of Washington. and he views with
some trepidaton the prospect of the pass
age OF the bill.

fFrom The Tribune Bureau

tfrom me Irfbuhe Bureau.1
Washington. Jan. 13.-Practcally the en-
tire session of the Senate to-day was de-
voted to debate on the various resolutions
relating TO the claims OF former postmas-
ters growing out of the readiustment of
their salaries When this question had
been settled by the reference of the resolu-
tons 10 the COMMITTEES on Postoffices and
Post Roads, short executive session was
held TO confirm the nominations of about
three hundred and thirty census supervisors
Adjournment was then taken until Monday
All census supervisors were confirmed ex-
cept two in Wisconsin and one each in
Georgia, Alabama and Michigan.
The claims Of the postma sters brought
on general debate. Various resolutions
were pending calling on the Secretary of the
Treasury to audit and report for payment
a list OF the so-called SpaIding claims Of
postnasters who served from 1864 TO 1874
Senators Hale, Lodge. Carter ana Penrose
wanted all the resolutions sent to the Com
mittee on Postoffices and Post Roads. MIR.
Fenrose said the claims involved about
$4,000 600. OF which attorneys would get
about s1.O00.0oo. lie had letters read indi-
eating that systematic campaign had
been made by claim agents, among them
u. G. Rathbons. former Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General. 10 work up sentiment
for this legislation and to make former
postmasters believe that the government
was trying to cheat them. The claims had
been notorious for fifteen years, Mr. Pen
rose said. He submitted letters from
Treasury and postoffice officials who said
the claims were without merit.
When Mr. Penrose promised that If all
the resolutions Of this character were re-
ferred TO his committee, a report would be
submitted not later than February 1,
unanimous consent was granted for this
reference.

appropriation bill was passed by the House
without amendment to-day. II carries

Replying TO suggestion that there were
many copies of President Cleveland's mes

New Haven, Jan. 1s.-Representative
julius Kahn, of California. who spoke here
tonight before the Business Mems As
ISOLATION, in commenting on the Pinchot
controversy, said:
i think President Taft would have got
along all right with Mr.. Pinchot If it had
not been for the latter's action in sending
the letter to Senator Dolliver. ME-.
Plnchots friends do not uphold him in
that matter, and I think all the facts will
be brought out in the coming investiga-
tion."
When asked If he was an insurgent, he
said: L have been an insurgent twice,

HONESTY AND TACT.
From The Detroit Free Press

from The Detfoit Free Press.
Mr.. Pinchot is very estimabls man In
many ways. He did much good service for
the nation In his position. He was not
working merely for pay. IL is understood
since he is wealthy. A sincere desire IN
preserve the peoples rights may be con-
ceded to him But absolute honesty Os
purpose is not always coincident Win tsc.
and wisdom. Mr.. Pinchot with all his min
lie spirit, has been suffering from a dis
torted view of his own position.

UNPARDONABLE.
From The washington s.a-


If Mr.. Pinchot felt that he could not
consistently remain a member of the ad-
ministration in these circumstances he
should have resigned. AS he chose to re-
main and to commit al act of insuhor-
dination unpardouable in any ciFcunl-
stances, and particularly so under the con-
ditions existing, he invited the action which
was taken yesterday and OF which the
Presidents letter is a complete and con-
vincing explanation.

President Taft could hardly have taken
any other course. We have no doubt that
the retiring officer meant his Istter which
was read in the Senate as a challenge to
the President. AS we said yesterday, he
could hardly have made the letter public
u not TO compel the President TO remove
him.
