The Government Sprang a Sen

Against Brokers

Washington, April 2-Armed with
bench warrants issued by the su-
preme court of the District Of Colum-
bia, special agents of the department
Of Justice this morning simultaneously
raided brokers' offices in New York,
Philadelphia, Jersey City, Baltimore,
Cincinnati and St. Louis.
Conspiracy indictm.a4s in whtdh
twenty-nine persons are named, five
OF them said to be millionaires, and
all interested in brokers' offices In the
large cities of the United States, were
returned late yesterday by the federal
grand Jury of the District Of Columbia
upon the evidence which the agents
of the department of justice had been
gathering for more than year. The
indictments were withheld yesterday
on the request of Attorney General
W,ckersham, SO that the department
Of Justice detectives might make the
raids simultaneously upon the places
suspected of being "bucket shops"
The men interested are said to be

THREE FACTIONS
IN LAND FIGHTS
The J Republicans l.l l. Divided ':i Into
Two Camps on the Conser-
walton Question

Washington. April 2.-Three fac
tions of the house committee ON pub.
lie lands yesterday pulled and hauled
at the administration bill for the
withdrawal Of pubi:c lands for con-
servation purposes. Republicans from
the public land states, who object to
any Change In the public land poll
cies. and Relub i.aas who ar" fol-
lowers of the modern conservation
program could not come to an agree
ment as between two bills.
In the end the Democrats denounced
both measures as being designed to
give the present and past administra-
tions clean bills of health In relation
to the conduct of the land laws. They
then introduced a bill of their own.
The Republicans were divided in
support Of the bill introduced in the
senate by Mr.. Nelson, which would
give the president absolute authority
to withdraw public lands for conser-
walton purposes of classification, and
the bill introduced in the house by
Mr.. Pickett of Iowa, which would
accomplish the same purpose and in
addition validate all past withdraw
ais. Both measures would provide
that the Withdrawals should remain
in force until revoked by the presi-
dent or by act Of congress.
After the Democrats on the COM
mittee assailed the attitude of both
factions of the Republicans the latter
made an effort to reach an agreement
and 1t was reported last night that
Mr.. Pickett would consent to the
elimination of that portion of the bill,
which specifically would validate past
Withdrawals made by the interior de-
partment.
The latter clause. it is said, was in
tended to validate certain Withdrawals
that were made under the Roosevelt
administration. 1t has been charged
in debates on the floor of both houses
that many of those Withdrawals were
without authority of law. That con-
tention was rejected by the senate
committee on public lands and the
valuation OF past acts therefore was
declared to be unnecessary.
A statement issued by the Democra-
tic members says their bill authorizes
the president to make Withdrawals of
public lands for. classification and re-
quires to be made to congress of with
drawals reports and provisions for
the classification of withdrawal lands.
"The primary purpose of the ad-
ministration measure relating to the
withdrawal Of public lands" 1t says,
Seems to be to validate existing
withdrawals and thus give the interior
department and the administration a
clean bill of health. While the with
drawal bill is to be labelled 'conserva-
tion' it In fact accomplishes nothing
toward that end. and merely gives the
president an express power which the
interior department for many years
has been exercising. No measure
merely legalizing Withdrawals is a
true conservation measure.
Classification is a primary and
very important step towards intelli-
gent handling Of the public domain
and without it congress will be forced
to proceed as in the past. by per-
mitting the interior department to
perform functions which properly be-
long to congress-"

GOLFERS WEEKLY
WAS IN THE DEAL
Told Discharged Officer His
Story Was Worth From
$4,000 to $4,000

Washington. April 2.-The spright-
ly row in the committee yesterday
morning served to increase the de-
mand for seating room at the Ballin-
ger-Pinchot hearing this morning and
the largest crowd since the days of
the CLAWS. Pinchot and Garfield tes-
timony was on. when the doors were
opened. The cross-eXamination of H.
K. Love was continued by Attorney
Brandeis. representing Louis r. Gla-
Wis end others.
A new sensation was sprung soon
after the inquiry was resumed. At
torney Brandeis launched into the
cross-examination of MIR. Love, who
told of meeting John w. Dudley, FORM
ef resigter of the land Office at Janeau,
Alaska. last February at Janeau. Dud-
ley testified that Mr.. Love said he
had been ''let out" of his Office and
that Golfers Weekly had intimated
to him that lit would be worth from
$4,000 to $4,000" for him to go to
Washington to testify. "Do you mean
that the weekly meant to bribe him?"
asked Madison of the committee. mo.
not to bribe him but to pay him." re-
piled the witness.
The committee betrayed great inter-
est in the incident and pressed Love
for the details. The witness said he
saw Dudley three minutes and that
dudley said he wanted to go to Wash
ington to testify for the "other side" "
He said Dudley wanted him to tell
Ballinger of this offer and that he had
not accepted it. but that he desired
to testify for the 'other side.' Love
said he did not tell Ballinger because
he thought perhaps Dudley had put
wrong construction on the remark
of the weekly's agent. He said Dudley
did not tell him the name of the agent.
DO you think the Weekly wanted
Dudley to come here to tell the truth?"
asked Graham (DemD Most assur-
edly," said the witness.
Love said Dudley had expressed an
intention of going to Washington to
clear his record with the department
since he had been dismissed. The
committee decided by a unanimous
vote to subpoena Dudley, who. the
witness said. was engaged in busi-
ness at Juneau. Love said he did not
think he had mentioned the conver-
sation with Dudley to anybody. He
denied that Dudley had intended to
try to influence Ballinger by having
him mention the incident to the Sec
retary of the interior. Attorney
Brandeis questioned the witness for
nearly an hour. in regard to his tes-
timony yesterday after which Repre-
sentative Graham took him in hand.
After Love was excused Frank l..
Spalding of Cheyenne. Wyo.. formerly
disbursing officer and clerk in l.. r.
Claws Office at Seattle, was called
to the stand by Attorney Vertrees.

Naples, April 2!The blue bay of
Naples, bathed in its glorious sun
shine was never more beautiful than
when the steamer Prince Heinrich
with the Roosevelt family aboard.
steamed into the harbor at S:25 o'clock
this morning. The water front was
lined with thousands who wished to
share in the welcome to Mr.. Roose-
welt upon his return from Africa. Only
American Ambassador Leishman with
American Consul Crowinshield, the
commander of the fort and a group of
foreign correspondents were admitted
to the slip where the vessel docked.
But outside the gates, a surging mass
of excited persons, including hun
dreds Of Americans, craned their
necks to get an early glimpse of the
distinguished American.
Col. Roosevelt, attired In q gray
sack suit and wearing soft black hat.
appeared in splendid health and spir-
its. His weather-beaten face gave him
the appearance of a trained athlete.
He spoke with boyish pleasure of be-
ing able to set his foot again upon
European soil and of feeling that at
last he was homeward bound. He
said that the voyage from Alexan-
dria had been without special Incl
dent. A few moments later he de-
scended the, gang plank and II the
crowd, catching sight Of him., greeted
him with ringing cheers. b. $aa
AS the steamer moved slowly into
the harbor, the crowds on shore burst
out with cries of Long live Roose-
velt." Many Americans had provid-
ed themselves with flags and these
were waved frantically. The Roose.
velts, with those who had come to re-
ceive them, were soon whisked away
in automobiles to the Excelsior hotel.
AS the motor cars made their way
through the crowd, Col. Roosevelt
raised his hat and smiling, bowed
right and left in acknowledgment of
the repeated cheers.
No sooner had he reached his hotel
than the former president was beseig-
ed by newspapermen. Promptly and
firmly he reiterated his refusal to dis
cuss any phase of American politics
or other affairs, adding that he would
stick to his announced policy through
out his European tour. Any state
ments purporting to have come from
him would be unauthorized he said.

THE DEMOCRATS
ARE DIVIDED
Not Able to Agree on Merits of
the Railroad Rate
Bill

Washington, April 2.-Widely di-
verging views ON regulative control
of common carriers, including split
minority presentation, are expressed
in reports which accompanied the sub
mission of the administration railroad
bill to the house by the interstate
commerce committee today. That
measure, drafted by Attorney General
Wickersham at the instance of Presi-
dent Taft. introduced by Representa-
tive Townsend of Michigan and trans
formed by radical changes in the
house committee in substitute meas
ure. already is being debated in the
senate and in the house probably will
follow the naval appropriation bill.
Chairman Mann, who will act as
sponsor for the bill, though opposed
to the commerce court and others of
its provisions, will seek to fix a date
on Monday, but members of the COM
mittee are of the opinion that the
naval bill probably will occupy all
of next week.
The majority report, which Chair
man Mann signed with the other Re-
publican members, stamps the pro-
posed legislation as even more i'm
portant than any preceding acts for
the control of interstate and foreign
railroads. imposing no undue bur-
dens nor interference with railway
management and conferring large
benefits upon the shippers and public
at large.
The minority report, striking at the
commerce court, declares mo untried.
experimental legislation of a doubt
full constitutional character should be
entered upon by congress at this time
when lie1her consumers. shippers nor
railroads ask for such legislation"
The minority members, while ear
nest advocates of federal regulation
or supervision of interstate railroads,
attack the bill as paternalistic.
Still another set of views is pre-
sented by Messrs. Sims of Tennessee
and Russell of Texas, Democratic
members of the committee, who refuse
to sign the minority report, though in
favor of some of its features. Mr..
Richardson of Alabama, who signed
the minority report, believes the bill
leads to government ownership of
railroads and will offer an amend
ment prescribing physical valuation
instead of fluctuating value of capital
stock as a basis for ascertaining
fair and reasonable rate.

a senator during the first session in
which he serves, Senator johnson
was rapidly winning the esteem and
confidence of his fellow members and
was already impressing the senate
with the sturdiness of his character.
Those who had previous service with
him in the house knew that he would
in the senate maintain his excellent
political record.
His Courage and Fidelity.
"Mr. President. in these days when
the spirit of commercialism domi-
mates a larger portion of our press
than ever before, when sensational
ism is rampant over all the land,
when false issues, shamelessly array
ed in words never intended for ig-
noble use. are manufactured sfor
selfish ends, when temptation to Ride
into places of trust ON scme tidal
wave Of popular error created for
that purpose and which may be as
transient and ephemeral as the mist,
is so prevalent, we need not so much
past ideals to guide and strengthen
us as men of today with courage in
vincible for truth, living examples
that it is better to be right at all
times than to he popular some of the
time. Senator Johnson had that
courage, that fidelity that would deem
defeat victory if in the right cause.
That is the record, not only of his
public career, but as we'll of his pri-
vate life.
His desire was to benefit human
ity. 1t was his ambition for twenty
years to become a member of the
United States senate to carry that de-
sire into effective legislation; and
when that ambition was at last real.
l, lied, no man was happier than he OF
more ready to take upon his should
ers all the burdens and duties of that
high office.
| Upon the trestlc board of hope, he
had long before traced the design o.
his own life's edifice-a structure
which should be useful, and fair, and
true, and lofty. Patiently and faith.
fully had he builded along these lines
until it's fair proportions fore-sha.
dowed it's future grandeur And whel
1t had reached that stage of compile
tion from whence he could clearl,
discern the elimination of his en-.
deavors. the fruition of his ambition
and his hearts faircst hopes, the
stroke of death fell upon him. and
noble resolutions and lofty purposes
were as dream that is past.
I'VE are unable. MIR. President, to
comprehend that edict of providence
which cut short promising career
at time that seemed to him and to
those who knew him. to be SO pro.
pitious for good. Yet through all we
know that this tangled skien is in the
hands of One who sees the end from
the beginning. He shall yet unravel
ALL
IN little mound overlooking his
own home. the scenes of his labors
and joys for more than twenty years
