Land Fraud Gases
Come Up Tuesday
Special Agents of Government Have
Been Investigating Deeds Sc
cured Through Fraud.

Further investigation Of the Indian reser-
walton land fraud cases has been post
poned until Tuesday and a host OF wit
nesses has been summoned to appear at
that time before the federal grand jury.
The Investigations will 80 back about
three years and involve the validity of
deeds given by Indians Of the Omaha tribe
to and spectators for valuable lands for
wholly inadequate considerations These
deeds and contracts we're procured from
many of the Indians prior TO the expira-
ton OF the twenty-five years trusteeship
OF the United States In July last to become
effective when the Indians were granted
their patents. These patents have been
only recently issued and include some OF
the most valuable lands OF the Omaha In
dian reservation.
The Indians have just awakened to the
fact hat they were swindled and defraudsd
in giving these deeds, which they supposed
were mere leases.
II Is alleged that some former Indian
agents are implicated IN the frauds. which
could not have been perpetrated but with
their c~onnivance and knowledge. Several
expert special agents Of the land depart
ment have been investigating the matter.
and two or three OF them are here to pre-
sent the cases to the grand jury.
The work OF the grand jury Friday was
devoted largely 70 minor postoffice cases

How Illinois
Builds Roads
Highway Engineer Here for Conven-
ton Discusses Methods-Praise
for DOugas County Roads.

From what ] saw in The Bee while COM
ing TO Omaha on the train, / judge your
city engineer and Commercial club have
taken the right method to get up a sue
cessful good roads meeting" said A. N.
Johnson, state engineer of Illinois, in
charge of highways. He arrived in Omaha
at 12:l5 and was the guest of City En-
gineer Craig at the Commercial club.
Discussing the system adopted in ILL
nois, and which will probably furnish the
basis for a law to be offered in the next
session Of the Nebraska legislature, Mr..
Johnson said:
w have a merely advisory organization
in Illinois, the engineer being the ouly paid
official on the highway commission. We
haven't nearly enough men or equipment
to meet the demands made on us for help
in getting proposed Improved roads started;
yet fair progress is being made. In GER
tain parts Of the state a very good start
has been made, and sentiment in favor Of
better, or the best, roads is steadily grow
ing.
Our commission has in charge several
road building outfits, the property Of the
state, which we send out to different
places calling for them as rapidly as pos
sible, We also have a traction hauling out
Al' Dut the present equipment must De very
largely Increased before we can meet the
demand. There are no paved roads in I'LL
nois, such as 1 understand you ave here
in Douglas punt to some extent"
While in the employ of the United States
government, Mr.. Johnson built a sample
piece Of good road at Auburn, Neb. 1t
has been a source Of pride to those who
secured its construction. Mayor bort and
some other Auburn people are to be at
this meeting In Omaha.
Mr.. johnson spoke last night at Beatrice
on the subject OF good roads. The Com
mercial club OF hat city engaged him, and
he reports a very successful meeting was
held. The Commercial club of Beatrice,
like all progressive organizations, realizes -
said Mr.. johnson. that good roads in the
vicinity of a town and leading thertto are
a valuable asset; that they mean some
thing to the business men and aid ma
terially in drawing trade and thus lncreas-
ing the prosperity OF the section in which
they are built. This campaign is growing
ing in every state In the union and Ne
braska must get In line. So promising and
prosperous a state can not afford to lag
behind"

to place the $4,000 risk for three years at
the lump sum of 81, 200. Some hesitancy
was shown by the council committee to &C

local firm should get the plum. Finally.
though, the bid Of the South Omaha firm
was accepted and it was so notified, as
City Clerk Butler and City Comptroller
Lobeck assert.
Now comes a representative OF the O'NeiIl

PICKPOCKET WHO TOUCHED
TONY D0NAH0E IS IDENTIFIED
Wanted in Kansas City on n similar
Charge, Where He Was known
as Frank Price.

Word was received Thursday by Chief
Of Police Donahue from the chief Of police
at Kansas City that Harry Martin, the man
arrested in company with Ralph Moore
for picking pockets on a street car and
identified by Tony Donahoe as the man
who picked his pockets, is wanted in Kan
sas city on a similar charge. A picture
OF Martin was enclosed in the letter and
the information offered that Martin was
known in the Missouri city as Frank Price.
He was awaiting trial in the district court
and had been released on 500 bonds. He
jumped the bonds and is supposed 20 have
come directly to Omaha.
Martin or Price and Moore will have their
hearing before Judge Crawford in police

Hall Insurance
South Omaha Concern Would Like to
Back Out of Agreement to Write

The O'Neill Insurance company Of South
Omaha is showing a disposition to back
out Of it's agreement to insure the Omaha
city hall and its furnishings. The city Of
ficials refuse to let go of the certified
check for $500 that accompanied the o'Neill
bid. If the company refuses to accept the
contract as awarded to it by the council,
the city will declare the check forfeited.
AT the time bid were asked for insuring
the city hall there we're about a dozen bid
ders. All of the Omaha insurance firms

insurance agents have persuaded the South
Omaha firm its bid is too low? Maybe 70.
Anyway, Wen hold this check for $500. Just
as an evidence OF good faith. and II O'Neill
lets so, why we'll turn il II to the treasu y"
In the meantime, is the city hall and its
furnishings insured? Comptroller Lobeck
and Clerk Butler believe that it Is, from
the moment the bid was accepted by the
council and the record made Of the award.

INSURGENTS vs..

As showing the dire calamity
that threatens the regular wing
of the republican party the straw
vote taken by the Success magazine
among its p, 500 life members,
3,lO2 of which replied; makes
plain the attitude of the people to-
ward the insurgents movement.
y digest OF this vote of this vote
published in the Herald Tuesday
mornidg indicates that clear ma
iority Of the people are opposed to
Taft 5 friendly attitude with Aid
rich and Cannon; that a clear ma
Jority disapproVe of the president S
attitude on the recent tariff bill;
that the 'insurgent' members of
congress have the backing of their
constituents i'll every congressional
district
In discussing the answers to the
several Undergraduates Success
says,
IT h republican insurgents
against Cannonism were to a man
enthusiastically supported by their
neighbors, except in few instan
ces where the original insurgency
had been modified by later deci-
slons. The condemnation of Aid
rich and Cannon was almost as
pronounced III the Atlantic and
Pacific coast states as in the central
west and there is every evidence
that Cannonism and Aldrichism
are general national issues and do
not represent merely local insur
eency."

The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1910-01-06

There was imminent danger that
such sites left on the public do
main would be filed upon and OBJ
tanned under conditions that would
III no wise protect the public, but
would make monopoly possible i'll
the near future.
President Roosevelt brought the
question of control of power de
veloped on navigable streams dir
reCtly to the attention of congress
and started the policy he believed
necessary to protect the public
interests. The essential features
OF that policy were that power sites
should be granted only under con-
ditions that would limit grants to a
definite period and yield fair con
pensation to the government.
No more intolerable monopoly
can be imagined than that which
would control the water supply of
any great section of our country.
This policy does not mean GOV
ernment operation The PROPOSE
ton IS not to operate the water
powers, but TO permit their develop
ment and operation by private i'll
terests under regulations of the
character | have above referred to.
Thus the public interests are safe
guarded and the private interest is
given what it is entitled to, no
more no less.
The next step in the policy Of
conservation is legislative action to
what the executive has
done and to provide the means for
further safeguarding the public
interests wherever necessary.
The danger of the conservation
now is inaction. The
public action demands action. No
condition is so satisfactory to ag-
gressive private interest as inaction
on the part of the public authori- I
ties. The constant striving by
private Interest for its own profit,
for a larger share or control of /
natural resources, can only be kept
within proper bounds by ceaseless
vigilance and activity on the part
of the people representatives.
The fight for conservation is now
in the halls of congress. 1t now
rests with our representatives in
senate and house to do their share
in fulfilling the pledge given our
people that our vital natural re-
sources shall be conserved.
1t is not an easy task to obtain
legislation which is opposed by
great vested interests. There is no
danger that the rights and demands |
of such interests will be neglected; |
the danger is that the public inter
ests may be forgotten.
The people must see to it that

FORTY PER CENT
LOST IN GRAFT

TROY, n ", Dec. 80. The
ege of patriotism has yielded to
the age of commercialism Upper
most in the human mind today is
not the Stars and Stripes, but the
dollar mark.
Such was the declaration Of Su-
preme Court Justice Wesley O.
Howard, in an opinion today re-
ducing the compensation of mem
bers of a commission appointed to
appraise damages to property re-
sulting from from the construction
of the Ashokan reservoir in Ulster
county, which is to furnish a water
supply for New York City.
While the commission furnishes
avenues for the reckless escape Of
many dollars, there are other chan
nels of leakage and waste fully as
appalling, " said Justice Howard
1t is greatly to be regretted that
no public enterprise can be pro
tected and consummated without
this appalling loss, called graft
Graft is not necessarily an illegal
expenditure of money, but it is
that unnecessary, wastcful use that
characterizes the construction of
every public venture. AT least 40
per cent. of all money appropriated
for public use is lost in graft. All
things could be possible if this
frightful leak could be stopped

PEOPLE MUST FIGHT
SAYS J. R. GARFIELD

In 1906 Secretary Ethan Allen
Hitchcock of the interior withdrew
about O,0OOO 900 acres of coal land
from general entry, for the purpose
of examination and in order to
prevent further illegal or fraudu-
lent acquisition. When | became
secretary of the interior | continued
these Withdrawals, and directed
that the coal lands III the western
states be classified and valued in
accordance with their market value.
During my administration about
$4,000, 900 acres were classified
and revalued,' said Jas. r. Car
geld in an interview just published.
President Roosevelt urged upon
congress the need of a change in
the coal land laws. He recon-
mended that the coal be separated
from the surface, the latter be dis
posed of for the most available use
agriculture, grazing or timber
and the coal disposed of at fair
price by sale or lease, i'll accordance
with the public needs, but, under
such regulations as would prevent
monopoly. I advocated such legis-
lation before the house committee
on public lands, and made report
on a bill providing for it.
Congress, however, passed a law
merely authorizing the separation
of surface and coal in certain pend
ing bona fida homestead entries,
step in the right direction, but far
from what is needed.
My order for valuation and
classification could not apply to the
coast lands of Alaska, as by law
their value was fixed at SO per
acre, but | continued Secretary
Hitchcock order, as | believed
that most of the attempted loCa-
tons or entries in Alaska (includ-
ing the Cunningham claims) were
fraudulent or illegal.
The Alaska coal fields are of pc
culiar interest. They are Centered
in two great Alaska fields, compar-
atively small in area, but enOr-
mously valuable. | found that
some great interests were trying to
acquire control of the Alaska fields,
and some bills were pending in
congress which, if passed, would
have validated many fraudulent
entries.
l opposed by report and oral
hearing the bills that proposed to
validate fraudulent or illegal en-
tries, and pointed out the danger
of those fields passing under mono
polistic control, and urged that the
proposed law apply only to bona
fde entries or claims.
