OBTAINED COAL LAND BY FRAUD
Fifty Thousand Acres Valued at $f0,. 100000 Secured by shsrpers
 During Past Eight Years.

Washington, Jan. 25.-hccording to a statement issued by Commissioner Bennett of the general land office none of the applications to enter Alaska coal lands has passed to entry. It also ic shown that of the Alaska coal cases preliminary adverse reports have been received covering about TOO entries. The Cunningham group of 8 entries, upon which payment was made in 1906 and 1907, and which will have impor tant influence in the Ballinger-Pinchot Inquiry. is not in hearing upon adverse report of special agents.
 In the United States at large final adverse reports from agents have been received during the past 12 montas up. on cases involving over 150.000 acres of land within the United States. Much of this is coal land. It appears from these reports that during the past eight years coal lands within the Uni ted States have been obtained by fraud to the extent of more than 50,000 acres. These entries usually cover the very best of the coal and are estimated as being worth s1o,000,000.

bLAMES TIE TRUSTS
A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE HEARS SECRETARY WILSON
 ON CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES.
COUNTRY NEEDS MORE FARMERS
Mir. Wilson Prescribed This as Ons Remedy for Present Conditions Believes Farmers Are Not Getting Their Share of Prosperity.

Washington. Jan. 26-Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in his testimony before the congressional committee which Is Investigating the raise in the prices of foodstuffs in the district of Columbia declared that American farm products are sold cheaper abroad than they are in this country. He intimated that the trusts were to blame but declined to go into any lengthy explanation because the in yestigation which he Is conducting has not yet been completed. He blamed cost of living to this, together with the exorbitant profits demanded by the re- tail dealers. He prescribed as one remedy for the evil, return to the farm. More farmers and more intelli. gent farming. he declared, would great. ly remedy conditions.
 James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad also added the value of his testimony to the investigation in an interview In which he characteri. cally declared that the problem was not so much. "tbe high cost of living as of the cost of high living"
 To-day the agriculture department issued its bulletin upon the in crease in the supply of cattle on the ranges. It Is understood that these figures will confirm information com. ing from various sections of the coun- try that there Is unprecedented pros perity in the animal industry of the country. They promise to show that instead of scarcity in the sources of meat supply there is unusual plenty. They will show conclusively, 1t is pre-. dicted, that the present high prices of meat products are therefore the result of monoply by combinations in control
 of meat supply and are contrary to the
 law of supply and demand.
 The figures that the secretary of agriculture has collected thus far
 showed on January. 1909. that the price of beef was 22.6 per cent higher than the average level of prices in the five years from 1896 to 1900 inclusive cows before they were fattened was only a trifie higher than the average price he had received in the 1S96-l90C period. The increase in prices that he got for his cattle fattened on corn was not equal to the rise in the price of corn. From this the secretary de cided that the farmer was not getting all that was coming to him.
 The increase in the retail price oi meat, according to the departments information, also has been much great CT relatively than the increase in the wholesale price. When the packer has raised on the retailer. the retailer has passed the raise along to the consumer with little more tackled on TOT good measure.
 The National Board of Trade which will meet in convention here will make the problem of the increased cost of living one of the chief subjects of dis cussion at its session.

 The accident is ascribed to slip pery condition of the driveway, water which trickled from the cliff having frozen. The machine, in rounding the curve at Scarritt's point. evidently skidded on the ice toward the precipice at the outer edge of the drive. Ma honey. who was the contractor that had charge of the grading work of this scenic drive. was driving the car. He evidently tried to steer 1t toward the cliff. with the result that the heavy rear end of the car was thrown com pletely around. the rear wheels crash ing through fence and over the abyss
 At the point where the machine went over the cliff there Is a sheer rescent of probably 40 feet. with probably 40 feet more of steep hillside ending in an accumulation of boulders. Tracks in the roadway showed where the rear wheels of the car had backed over the precipice and the entire car was precipitated upon the rocks below. alighting on it's side and crushing two of the victims. The others either land ed on the rocks or were caught in the wreckage.

WILL KEEP A PLEDGE
SENATORS AGREE TO PASSAGE or A POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
 MEASURE.
CONFERRED WITH THE PRESIDENT
Announcement Made at White House that Opposition to the Bill Had Been Abandoned and that 1t Would Be- come a Law.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Announce- ment was made at the White house after a conference, that senatorial op- position to the postal savings bank bill had been abandoned and the measure would become law at this session of congress.
 President Taft thus early put into effect his edict that congress has "got" to enact his entire legislative program at this session. The cabinet meeting went carefully over the whole program.
 The interstate commerce bills have not yet been taken up by the com. mittees. nor have the conservation bills. while the statehood bill Is under going senatorial repair. Postal sav- lngs. however, is ready for debate and and 1t was decided to press this to passage to the senate while the house Is disposing of the big appropriation bills.
 Accordingly immediately after luncheon, President Taft sent word 10 Senators Penrose. Carter and Crane that he wished to see them. All three are members of the senate com mittee on postofflces and post roads Penrose and Crane have been opposed 10 the postal savings bank while Car ter has favored 1t. Penrose Is chair man of the committee. Crane Is the representative of Senator Aldrich, in the absence of the latter in Florida
 There was an hours talk in the presidents room at which all sides of the question were discussed Penrose and Crane voiced their opposition, and the president insisted upon the measure. not only as performance of the party's pledge but as reform in which the people were yitally inter ested. There was talk on both sides, the president having the final say. which took the shape of demand that the senate organization turn in for the bill. Penrose and Crane re- iuctantly consented and Senator Car ter made public the news as the three left the executive offices.
 "A postal savings bank bill has been agreed upon." he said. 'and the meas
  ure will be passed by the senate"
 All of which Is a splendid triumph for Taft. and prompt working out of the driving policy which he h-as adopt ed. Postal savings banks have been among the prescribed reforms of the conservatives. Both Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon have been open iy opposed to them, despite the plat form declaration of the Chicago con vention. Speaker Cannon has fiatly announced that no postal savings bank bill woulG DC passed by congress
 Taft, however. mas decided that congress keS "got" to pass the bill and the outlook now is that 1t will be the first reform accomplished by his administration.

THE INQUIRY BEGINS
UNITED STATES MARsHALs SUB PoENA WITNESSES AT THE
 CHICAGO STOCK YARDS.
NO IMMUNITY BATHS THIS TIME
The Men Summoned as Witnesses Are From the Rank and File of the Workers-Judge Landis Claims Credit for Inquiry.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Deputy United various packing firms at the stock yards and served at least 30 subpoenas on employees to testify in the federal grand jury investigation of the beef trust. Forty-hive men were called in court of Judge K. M. Landis, the jurist who fined the Standard oil company S29, 9,000, 900, and 23 will be selected on the grand jury. It is expected Judge Landis will "say things" to the jury about the meat trust in directing the Investigation.
 District Attorney Sims and his as sistants have completed the report of the Inquiry made by special investiga- tors of the department of justice into the existence of an alleged combine to control prices. and forwarded It to Washington.
 The men sought as witnesses were not the men higher up" They were among the rank and file of workers mon who made rates and schedules and the many things that go to make up the routine of the business of the big packing houses, the government believes, will be of use in its battle against the packers.
 This time. 1t Is promised, none will be given the immunity bath" for they will not be called upon to testify Mir. Sims said that he had no idea when the suit lookisng for the dissolution of the National Packing company would be brought.
 As the first move of what prom ises to be the most remarkable trust investigation ever begun by the United revealed the true inside significance political and otherwise--of the pres ent prosecution.
 In the course of the most stirring in- structions to jury heard in Chicago in many years he disclosed the fact that the present investigation origi- hated. not In Washington but right here in Chicago.
 It was shown that the public an- nouncement of the plans of the Taft administration to institute both crimi- nal and civil proceedings against the big Chicago packers was made just "A hours after Judge Landis had in- formed District Attorney Edwin w. Sims of his own plan to cause an in- vestigation of the packing industry by the present grand jury.
 | Judge Landis' instructions were of a far more convincing and painstaking variety from the very first word to the last, then those that ever he has given to previous grand juries.
