Judge Hunt May Decline.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The senate
committee on appropriations in re-
porting the urgency deficiency bill has
retained the house provision making
the salaries of customs judges $1,000
per annum, amending it to make this
rate apply hereafter as we'll as for the
present fiscal year. If this PROPOSE
tion becomes law it is possible th at
Judge Hunt will decline the customs
court appointment, for it is known
that he has signified to the president
his dissatiefaction with a salary of
$1,000.
This action, II it is finally approved,
will present an interesting situation,
the result of which will be awaited
with interest. The tariff law passed
last summer created this court and
fixed their annual salaries at $40, 900.
But the opinion is becoming general
about the capitol that the salaries of
these judges should not exceed those
of the circuit judges of the United
States, which salaries are $1,000.

Bids For Capitol:Wings.

HELENA, Feb. 4.-Grauite for the
construction OF the wings of the capitol
building can be furnished for approx.
imately S45, 900 less than the leeislat-
ure estimated, according to the bids
which were received and opened by
the state hoard of examiners. Five
bids were submitted In all, and If the
samples submitted for theIlowest bid
come up to the requirements, the
stone will be quarried at Clancy and
furnished to the state by T. Kain &
Son of Helena, for S192, 800 laid down
at the building.
Three bids were received from the
Kain firm as follows:
No. l, for s2l5, 900 for stone from
the Baxend ale quarry OF w. GIConrad.
No. 2, for S2O4,S75 for stone from
another Ten Mile quarry.
No. 3, for S192,890 for stone from
the Kain quarry near Clancy.
Mr.. Kain explained that while the
stone of all the bids was the same
quality, that the difference In the bids
was due to the ease with which the
stone could be quarried, the Clancy
quarry being the most easy to work.

Who Gets The Profits2

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Declaring
the farmer to be the last person con-
sidered in any conflict in which the
agriculturist is involved, Senate Nc
Cumber of North Dakota today deliv.
cred speech in the senate to demon.
strate that the farmers were not re.
ceiving a fair share of the high prices
which food products comm anded.
He said bills such as had been pre-
sented in the house for the removal of
duties on farm articles were equiva-
lent to an effort to establish a legis.
lative boycott against the tiller OF the
soil. This boycott was always to be
expected when food prices increased, ,
he said. But the discrimin alton
would not always continue for the
time was rapidly appro aching when
the farmer would receive proper com.
pens sation for his labor.
Contrasting the prices received by
the farmer with those paid by the con-
sumer he said that q four year old
steer which in North Dakota would
bring $40 would sell for 1880 when
retailed at the senate restaura ant steak
prices-enough to buy half q farm.

President May Withdraw Land.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The senate
committee on public lands today re.
ported substitute for administr alton
bills authorizing the president, for
conservation purposes, to withdraw
public lands from entry.
The decision to report such a meas
ure was reached after several hearings
had been held in which the necessity
for the legisl lation was attacked and
defended in spirited controversy.
As perfected, the bill follows:
"That the president may, at any
time in his discretion, withdraw from
settlement, location, sale or entry any
of the public lands of the United
States and reserve the same for fores-
try, water power, irrig alton, classiti-
cation or other public purposes, to be
specified In withdrawal, and such
Withdrawals and reservations shall
remai in force until revoked by him
or by an act of congress. The secre-
tary of the interior shall report all
such Withdrawals hereafter to con-
gress at the beginning of its next reg
ular session."

To Prosecute Beef Trust,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Wade II.
Ellie. who At the presidents direc.
tion, went to Chicago to consult with
the officials there regarding the pre-
sentation of the evidence against the
so.colled beef trust, before the feder al
grand jury, returned to Washington
today.
The case, Mr.. Ellis says, will be
pushed, although necessarily it would
take some time to finish the presenta.
tion to the grand jury of the testimony
gathered by the government agents
which is still in progress. He prob.
ably will return to Chicago in few
days.
Necess arily the governments case,
because of the statute of Limitations,
is restricted to operations chargeable
against the beef concern during the
last three years. It is said that the
department of justice will meet any
attempt of the packers to plead i'm.
muuity.

Forestry Service Under Fire.

WASHINGTON. Feb. IA running
fire of criticism was poured into the
forestry service in the house today
while the agricultural appropriation
bill was under considerati The
entire session was devoted to the for
estry schedule. Representative Mon
dell of Wyoming, and Taylor of Col
orado, were the chief critics of the
bureau of forestry, which found many
defenders in the house.
Mr.. Mondell, replying to an inquiry
by Representative Mann of Illinois,
as to why the national forests could
not be made profitable now, if ever,
said the reason was found in the
"scand alous extravaganza" tn at char.
acterized the conduct of the forestry
service.

Hill Sounds Warning.

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-Jsmes j. Hill,
the railroad msgnate, sees q menace
to western prosperity In the tendency
to invest beyond its capital available.
Mr.. Hill says that If there comes q
panic people cannot look to the gov
ernment to help because it will be q
serious condition brought down on
the people by their own acts. Gener-
ally speaking, however, the railro ad
builder sees nothing but prosperity in
1910.
Mr.. Hill said: "Western banks are
loaning up very closely, but still there
ia plenty OF money. The only menace
see is tendency to invest beyond
the available capacity. If that hap
pens the investors cannot look to the
government for aid. Already consid.
cradle capital is invested in new lands
and probably in western Canada.
Montana is being developed very
rapidly as an agricultural state. 1t
now has larger acreage than Illi-
nois. Traffic is moving freely through
the northwest and business is good
everywhere.

CHICAGO MEN INDICTED.
City Alleged To Have Been Robbed
BY Clever Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Four true bills,
charging city hall officials with con-
spiracy in connection with the S45, 900
''shale rock" scandal, were returned
by the county grand jury today. The
men indicted we're:
John Ericsson, engineer.
Michael H. McGovern, contr actor.
Paul Rediesk, former deputy com
missioner of public works.
Ralph A. Bonnell, former assistant
city engineer.
All the above, with the excep ption oi
Ericsson, were indicted a short time
ago in connection with an alleged at
tempt to defraud the city of about
$3.50, 900 In the building of "section
NJ of the Lawrence avenue sewer.
"The shale rock" scandal also was
unearthed 10 the construction of "sec.
tion D" of the same sewer. The city
paid the McGovern company more
than $45 900 for the removal of q large
quantity of so.called "shale rock. u
Upon examin alton by experts it was
stated that the "shale rock'' was
nothing more than hard clay and of.
fered little obstruction.
Mr.. McGovern was the contr actor
IN charge of the construction and the
man who was paid for the removal OF
the rock. Bonnell certified that 1t was
rock and Ericsson approved Bonnell's q
decision. Rediesk then put his stamp
of approval on the work and the
money was paid later to the company

HERMANN DENIES FRAUD.
Former Commissioner Of General
Land Office Is On Trial.


Land Office Is On Trial.
PORTLAND, Feb. 2.-All through the
cross.examin alton today of former
Congressman Binger Hermann, who
is on trial in the United States district
court here on a charge of conspiracy
to defraud the government of public
lands, Prosecutor F. ). Heney piled
the aged defendant with questions re-
garding knowledge possessed by
Herm ann concerning alleged frauds
in the Blue mountain reserve and
what efforts Hermann had made while
in Office to ascertain whether frauds
were being perpetrated.
In substance, Rermann's answers
were that he had never known that the
government was being defrauded in
this reserve, though be did know that
there had been frauds in connection
with the creation OF nearly every other
reserve in Oregon. This fact, Her.
mann declared, had not excited his
suspicion in the Blue mountain case,
nor did the fact that huge frauds had
been perpetrated in Michigan and
Wisconsin under the timber and stone
act cause more than general suspi.
cion that men who would cheat once
would cheat again.
Throughout the day there were sharp
exchanges between the defendant and
his interrogation. On one occasion,
when Heney asked ii the reason Her.
mann said he had not read an article
