GARFIELD OPPOSED TO
BALLINGER'S BILL FOR
WITHDRAWAL OF LANDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Former
Secretary of the Interior Garfield APP
peared before the senate committee on
public lands today and opposed the bill
submitted by Secretary Ballinger au-
thorizing the secretary to withdraw
public lands from settlement pending
recommendation to congress for legis-
lation in reference to them.
He declared that as the president
had authority to withdraw public
lands believed to contain valuable tim
Der on minerals or to be valuable for
the development of power, there was
no good reason for extending the
right to the secretary of the interior.
No conclusions were reached and
the bill will be taken up again to-
morrow.
tions involved in the bill under con-
sideration, was presented to the COM
mittee by Chairman Nelson.
The conclusions reached follow:
1.-The power of the president to re-
serve public lands from sales and en-
tries rests upon various statutes,
upon numerous decisions of the courts
and upon established and long
recognized usage.
"The presumption act of 1880 provided
that the privilege of presumption
should not extend to any land (which
is reserved from sale by act of con-
gress, or by order of the president"
This clearly gives the president the
power, on his own motion, to make the
reservation and leaves it in his dis
erection to exercise the power, and the
power may be exercised through an
executive department.
A number of decisions were cited by
Mr.. Nelson to show that courts are
agreed upon the point he makes.

UNIONIST PARTY
CONTINUES GAIN
CONSERVATIVES AGAIN WIN AT
ELECTIONS
Status of Factions Gives Laborites
and Nationalists Chance to Com=
promise with Powers in
Parliament
ASSOCIATED PressI

LONDON, Jan. 25.-Five hundred
and sixty members of the new parlia-
ment have been elected. They are dis
tributed as follows:
Unionists 23S, Liberals 21S, Laborites
81, Nationalists To-
The announcement of Unionist gains
continues with unbroken regularity.
Out of thirty-three results declared
today the Unionists had nine gains, of
which one was in Scotland, and one in
ireland.
Against these the Liberals were able
to get only two gains, in Scotland.
Among the prominent members
elected today were the Rt. Hon. Aus
ten Chamberlain, who won for the
Unionists in Worcestershire east, and
Sir A. F. Acland- Hood, chief Union
list whip, who retained his seat for the
west division of Somersetshire.
Among the Losers
Among those defeated were Sir C..
D. Rose in the eastern division of
COMMUNICATIVE, and f. H. Newman,
newspaper proprietor, who previously
held the seat for the northern or Bas-
selaw division of Nottinghamshire for
the Liberals.
The elections will continue through
out the week, but chances of the
the Liberals getting enough seats to
render them independent of the Labor
ties and Nationalist have disap-
peared, and it becomes most inter-
esting question as to how the Liberal
government is going to meet the diff
ficult task before it.
The air is full of suggestions of
compromise, but nothing is likely to
be decided until the prime minister
calls meeting of the cabinet next
week for a preliminary discussion of
the terms of the royal speech for the
opening OF the new parliament.
Various measures are expected to be
promised in the kings speech, in
Guiding Welsh disestablishment, unem-
ployment insurance as recently de-
tailed by Winston Spencer Churchill
and the veto of the house of lords.
The veto question will be the first
to be taken up after the address in
reply to the kings speech is dis
posed of.
The king will open parliament with
full state ceremony on February 10.
Queen Alexandra will accompany him.
Asquith's Idea
According to rumor from re-
liable source, Premier Asquith's pres
ent idea is to propose that the house
of lords be deprived of the power of
vetoing finance bills, but it is prac-
tically certain that such Il restricted
measure will not satisfy the NATIONAL
lists, to say nothing of the Radicals,
and unless the government proposes
to limit the lords veto on all legisla-
ton 1t is exceedingly likely that there
win be a split in the Liberal ranks

CAUSE OF PANIC
STOCK EXCHANGE JARRED BY
VIOLENT BREAK
Rush of Liquidation Due to Excessive
Speculation Attributed by Wall
Street to Anxiety as to
President
ASSOCIATED PressJ

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Stocks broke
from to points this afternoon in
several of the most active issues with
violence not often exceeded on the
exchange except in periods of absolute
decentralization.
EARLY sales We're in enormous volume
and flooded the market from every
quarter.
Some of the severest losses were in
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Read
ing, Amalgamated Copper, United States
Steel and Consolidated Gas.
The announcement of an extra divi-
dend on steel common was not made
until after the close of the market and
did not affect the behavior of steel for
the day.
This rush of Liquidation was gener-
ally conceded to be speculative, and
Wall street, in explanation, protested
acute anxiety over the attitude of Press
ident Taft toward corporations in gem
eral, both good and bad"
There was a momentary lull and q
following rally after the issuance of q
statement from the White House ex-
postulating against the sensational in
tentionS attributed to the government.
But at least the weakness of the mar
ket again became acute and closing
prices were near the lowest.
At the same time the banks were ex-
ercising a rigid discrimination against
some stocks, held as collateral for
loans, which have come under suspicion
of manipulation.
The criticism that purely fictitious
prices have in some instances been
established by market pools and the un-
savory prominence of the Hooking Coal
episode, following close upon the scam
dal of Rock Island, have made bankers
sensitive. Stocks thus Disseminated
against were severe sufferers
Prices of wheat, corn, cotton, oats
and pork declined at the same time with
stocks. Total sales for the day reached
the unusual figures of 1,617,S21 shares,
against 5S37S6 a year ago.

LOBBYIST ROUTED
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS DE-
N0UNCES OFFICER
Army Major Causes LaWmaker Much
Worry, and Latter Asks Dick
inson to Get Rid of
Him
On Sale Tomorrow, Not Today


WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 25.-
James Wickersham, Alaskan delegate
to congress, has demanded of Secre-
tary Dickinson of the war department
that he order out of Washington back
to Alaska or to military duty Mai. w.
p. Richardson, chairman of the Alaska
road commission.
Wickersham charges Richardson with
exercising too much influence on con-
gressional committees.
The demand bears the date OF Jan
uary 20, but it became public only to-
night.
When the Alaskan legislative council
bill was before the senate committee
on territories Delegate Wickersham
charged that Major Richardson was in
Washington claiming to be the adviser
of the administration on all matters
relating to Alaska; that he was in fact
lobbying in behalf of special interests,
mentioning among others the Guggen-
helm interests.
Delegate Wickersham also charged
that Richardson was endeavoring to
perpetuate himself as chairman of the
road commission and at the same time
legislate himself into the office of COM
missioner of the interior an office Gre
ated by the Alaska legislative council
bill, at salary of $500 a year.
Threatened Him
In his letter to the secretary of war
Mr.. Wickersham says he was met by
Major Richardson as he came from
the committee room and in an angry
tone was threatened by the army Of
ficer for what he had said to the COM
mittee.
Speaking Of the encounter Mr.. Wick
ersham says:
HE said that only his position as an
officer in the army and my position as
delegate in congress protected me.
shall perform my duty as delegate
from Alaska without fear of assault
from Major Richardson, but 1 m6st
earnestly protest against being threat
ened in the capitol by an officer in the
army for daring to perform such duty.
"It is bad enough to have him lob
bying around the corridors in an effort
to impose himself as a part of a mil
itary legislature on a helpless and law
abiding American community in time
of peace to increase his own salary and
evade his duties in the army, without
having him threatening the representa-
tive of those people for performing his
congressional duties, and 1 protest
against his violence ana his insolence."
Mr.. Wickersham charged that the
passage Of the legislative council bill
would, in effect, create a military leg
islature in Alaska, since no part of its
membership would be elected by the
people.
He also charges that Major Richard
son Is lobbying in favor of other leg
| islation to which Mr.. Wickersham says
he is opposed as being inimical to the
| people Of Alaska.

railroad and financially responsible.

tAssoclated Pressl

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-In accordance
with popular expectation, directors Of
the United States steel corporation
announced today, after the close of the
stock market, that dividends on COM
mon shares of the corporation had re-
verified to the original rate of per
cent annually.
Directors today declared a regular"
dividend of 1 per cent and an extra
dividend of three-quarters of l per
cent. Dividends for the previous quar-
tiers have been:
For the first quarter, one-half of /
per cent; for the second, three quarters
of l per cent; for the third quarter, l
per cent, and today's, IA per cent.
Although an extra dividend had long
been rumored in the market the be-
havior of the common shares today,
and more particularly toward the close,
in no way bore out the facts.
Outcome in Doubt
According to the best information
obtainable there was a division Of
opinion among the directors, and the
outcome was probably in doubt up to
the time of the meeting.
Rumor credits the Morgan faction in
the board with having favored an extra
dividend, but Chairman Gary said ac-
ton had been unanimous.
The regular quarterly dividend of
~ per cent was declared on the pre-
ferred shares.
For the first time in reports of the
corporation there appeared an item of
$3,200,000 to be taken from the reserve
fund ito cover advanced mining roy
alties."
Total earnings for 1909 amounted to
S191, 479, 975. The record year of the
corporation was 1907, with earnings of
$3.50 1854, 673.
Since its organization in April, 1901,
the corporation has earned $1,071, 720,-

Of trade, Europe has more labor than
it can profitably employ: America has
less. Consequently it is to the adyant-

The money returned to Europe is
