WOULD UNCOVER
ISLAND SCANDAL
Congressman Martin Asks Aid in EX-
posing Fraud in Sale of Phil
ippine Lands.

Washington. May 6.-An effort is to
be made to obtain the names of those
who were interested as counsel or
otherwise in behalf of the American
Sugar company in obtaining a deci-
sion from the attorney general unGel
which a large tract of former friar
lands in the Philippines was sold to
the sugar trust in alleged violation of
the law of congress which limits the
amount of land which can be sold to
any individual or corporation.
Representative Martin of Colorado,
who started the investigation into
what he considered a scandal, yester-
day introduced resolution calling up
on the secretary of war to send to the
house the originals or copies of all the
letters written the attorney general
requesting his opinion upon the ques-
ton whether large tracts of land could
be sold, and the originals or copies
of all data. memoranda, letters and
other statements submitted by counsel
for Horace Hayemeyer and his asso-
ciates in the purchase of the San Jose
estate on the Island of Mindoro, Phil
ippines.
Mr.. Martin predicts sensational dis
closures if he is able to obtain the
information desired. He says that it
will be disclosed that persons high
up will be shown to have been inter.
ested in bringing about construction
of the law which he claims nullified
the intention of congress and which
has thrown open to exploitation valu-
able agricultural lands in the archi-
pelago.

played games ever on the local
grounds, Enterprise won from Jo-
seph, Sunday, one to nothing, main
ly by the mastery twirling of Bill
yeu, who allowed the heavy hitting
visitors but three hits and struck
out Is of them. He held them in
he hollow ofhis hand at all times,
his sharp curves, puzZling change of
speed and splendid brain work com
pletely mystifying the batsmen.
Bauer caught a fine game and
killed with perfect throw the only
attempt TO steal. The entire team
was up on it's toes all the time,
Casey French, Pace and Savage max
ing star plays, Frenchs work espec-
tally being of big league order.
Joseph presented almost new ant
a vastly improved team. Manion, the
Mt. Angel college coach, was behind
the bat, Brown, a good left-hander,
in the box, and Welch, a profession
al player, on third. Those sterling
members of last years Cove team,
Kali on first and Walters, the crack
quarter mile runner, in center put
UP fine game. The effect of
Manions coaching was seen in team
play that shut off at least one and
possibly more Enterprise scores
WEIGH played a good third but mar
red his record by a wild throw to
first. Brown was being found with
considerable frequency towards the
close of the game but good field
ing saved him worse beating.
The score story is brief. Only Il
on a side went to bat in the first
four innings, though three Joseph
men reached first Walters was hit
D I. perished in trying to steal sec
ond. Walters, running for Pidcock,
was given life for a minute by
PAGES tumble, but the latter re.
triaved his error by catching Walt
ers on the moth eaten hidden ball
trek. Kali also reached first on
an error but was doubled when
French shot the ball to first after
catching Shuts pop-up. In the
fifth Manion reached second on
long fly to left that Savage mis-
judged, but was caught at the
plate on lightning double by Hug,
Pace and Bauer.
Billyeu made the first hit of the
game in the fifth, and Savage run
ming for him stole second and came
all the way home on Manion's wild
throw over second. This proved |
the winning tally, though the error
was not needed to bring the score
IN as Pace followed with a smashing |
single to deep right center that
would have scored Savage. Pace
stole second but was left there by
he succeeding batsmen.
French knocked a daisy two-bag-
ger in the sixth but was out trying
o stretch it for three bases. Bill
'eu made another single in the
eventh and his runner, Savage,
cached second on Welchs wild
leave, only to be caught trying to
nake third on the ancient overthrow
o second trick. Pace made another
it in the eighth but was forced
t third.
The nearest Joseph came to scor-
lg was in the seventh. Kali was
n second by virtue of his single
nd Shuts sacrifice, when Manion
anged long fly to left that looked
ood for at least two bases, but Saw
&c saved the day by a splendid run
ing catch. The score:
