his chance to file, even though there
NAV be plenty of homesteads in other
parts of the tract.
Then the near-farmerS object to
the expense of travelling from one
filing point to another. So the Twin
City Homesteaders' club has made
its main object the securing of one
filing place instead of four.
Rivalry of Dakota towns is re-
sponsible for the decision Of the au.
thorities to establish four filing
points. Aberdeen, S. D. was to
have been the filing point, but the
Commercial clubs Of LeBeau, Mo-
bridge, Lennon, Bismarck and
other towns demanded a share in
the filing business and four points
were named, The officers of the
homesteaders' club are confident that
the decision of the government will
be changed, and it is generally be-
lieved that Aberdeen will be selected
as the filing point, though the club
will not attempt to influence the Sc
lection.
One of the Minneapolis winners
will take a gasolene breaking pillow
to the reservation in the spring and
land will be broken on the home
steads on a contract sale.
Some of the club members are pre-
pairing to take portable, ready-built
houses onto the new land. The club
will hold "town meetings" weekly,
the first and third Monday evenings
in Minneapolis and the second and
fourth in St. Paul, during February
and March.

LIBEL suit AGAINST
CONTINUED from page ~

tempt to show that a libel had been
committed upon the American pe0-
pie.
"The statute under which this suit
was brought was drafted to punish
offenses not covered by the laws Of
the section in which they were com.
mitted. In constituting the statute it
is not for us to consider what fair
minded attorney general might do
under it; it is for us to consider what
can be done with it. We had better
have the sedition law or even the
star chamber again than such mon
strous practice as the government
advocated in this proceeding"
Judge Hough, in rendering his de-
cision, said, in part:
1T is charged here that the crime
of sending libellous matters through
the mails is punishable at the place
of destination of the libellous mat
ter. If it 'is so held that the offense
of libel on federal territory is a
crime cognizable in the federal
courts, the question is broad one.
In this case we have an alleged libel
that was published in New York
city and sent out into Orange county.
But we find that in the distribution
made in Orange county it happened
to be disseminated at West Point, a
territory coded to the government,
and therefore the action comes up
in this court.
ut cannot be denied that by the
same act crime may be committed
cognizable by the state and the ma
ton, but this affords no reason, to
confine the punishment of the Often
der to one jurisdiction. The law
which has been invoked here is, I
take it, simply territorial convent
ence, and therefore in this case if
any crime has been committed it is
to be regarded rather as an offense
against the state of New York, which
happened to be committed on gov.
eminent land, then an offense
against the government under the
statute.
"The burden of proof rests upon
the prosecution to show that it was
the intent of congress to entrust to
the courts Of the United States the
of offenses other than
those primarily committed on Unit
ed States territory"
Among lawyers the opinion was
generally that todays collapse of
governments case marks an end o.
further prosecution.
eff any further action is to be
taken" said Henry A. Wise, United
States district attorney, 1T rests
with the attorney general of the
United States"
In this connection is was pointed
out that the suit is an inheritance
and did not originate with the pres
ent attorney general. A similar suit
brought in Indianapolis last October
against the proprietor and editor of
the Indianapolis News had previously
been thrown out of court.

INNERW0RkINGS
OF STOCK POOL

New York, N. Y, Jan. 26.-Specal-
Some of the inner workings of the
pool in the stock of the Columbus &
Hooking Valley Coal and Iron com
pany, that went to smash last week,
were revealed yesterday by the publi-
cation Of the agreement signed by the
dom members of the pool. Further
light is shed upon the affair by a
statement from Howard Barna|by, who
was associated with the firm Of Lath-
rop, Haskins & Co. Among members
Of the pool, it is said, were Lathrop,
Haskins & Co.; J. M. Fiske & Co.;
Roberts, Hall & Crisis; Day, Adams &
Co., A. J. ELIAS & Co.: and Rollins &
Co. James r. Keene was the man.
ager of the pool.
The pool agreement in part is as
follows: o. ~.
"The undersigned, being DESTROYS
of purchasing at least 10000 shares
of the common stock of the Columbus
& blocking Coal and Iron company,
do hereby agree to purchase thesame
or so much thereof as in the opinion
of hereinafter appointed managers,
may be deemed advisable in the pro-
portion set opposite the respective
names of the said subscribers, and We
hereby appoint --, our agent and
manager to make such purchases at
OF September, 1909.
Each one signing this agreement
to pay on demand for so much of said.
purchases as his subscription (as near
as may he practicable), bears to the
whole amount subscribed, as such
agent or manager may require. Also,
to return the same amount of serti-
ficates or part thereof at any time
when called for before thu fret dav of
September, 1909, on receiving from tn
manager the amount paid therefor,
with intrest at 5 per cent per annum.
"F'uther, we hereby authorize the
said agent and manager to sell st
his discretion the whole or any part OF
certificates purchased, and again buy,
so buying and selling at his discre-
tion.'
This agreement afterwards was ex-
tended for another six months.
Mr.. Barnaby said:
shortly after the pool was extend
ed it was discovered that the pool and
its friends had contracts for more
stock than actually existed-con-
tracts for $4,000 shares, when only TO-
900 had been issued.
Cali this time James r. Keene
was the manager of the pool. He
was known to have fifteen thous-
and shares of Hooking stock when
the pool was first started, and he
had been picked to accumulate the
line because it was believed that no
man was better able to buy the stock
cheaply.
"When the pool found somebody
short on Hooking some 5000 shares
the management refused the oppor-
tunity to squeeze the short interest,
for it did not wish to disturb the
general market. Then followed the
big bear raid from a traitor in the
pool and the sensational drop of
Hooking stock last Wednesday.
Keene, it is understood, will be
asked tomorrow to render an &C
count of his stewardship" Of the
pool. This demand is to be made by
lawyers for the victims and members
of the pool. The agreement pro-
vides that the manager shall make
such statement when demanded.

BALLlNGER PUT ON
{Continued from page ~

Louis D. Brandeis, Of Boston, had
some difficulty in reducing his state.
ment to a brief recital of the charg-
es, but finally he summed up the
case for the prosecution in this way:
THAT prior to entering the gov
eminent service in any capacity, r.
A. Ballinger acted as attorney in
drawing up an agreement in escrow
and deeds in the Wilson coal COM
pany cases in Lewis county, Wash
ington, these cases being an alleged
fraud upon the land laws. Mr.. Bal
fingers name did not appear in
court records of the case.
THAT Mr.. Ballinger, as commits
sioner Of the land Office in 1907, did
not show due diligence in Investigate
ing the alleged frauds connected
with the Cunningham coal land
claims in Alaska; that he had
knowledge of all the circumstances
surrounding these claims, and in
spite of this entered the employ of
the land Office and before becoming
secretary of the interior; that he
ordered these claims to be clear list
ed for patent without due investiga-
ton and that they would have gone
to patent If CLAWS and others had
not interviewed.
1T is not any one act, but a SER
les of acts and circumstances" de-
clared Mr.. Brandeis, adding that 1t
was for the committee to determine
whether or not the lands which
should be held for benefit Of the
people and of posterity Cali in safe
hands,
Senators Nelson, Root. and Suth-
erland and Representatives Ohm
stead and Madison were the more
active Of the committeeman in ply
ing the witness and his attorney
with questions and many times they
referred to Ballinger's denials and
sought an explanation OF what they
considered discrepancies in his
statements.
The democratic members of the
committee were not much in evil
dence today. Representative James
asked only a question or two, and
IN each instance only to clarity some
point at issue. Representative Ora
ham, the other democrat, took issue
with Senator Nelson during the final
minutes of the hearing and declared
in certain instance the burden of
the proof was upon the secretary of
the interior rather than upon the
accusing witness.
The inquiry will be resumed Fri
day morning and hereafter tehre
will be morning sittings, every Fri
day and Saturday.
