Fraud IA Coal Lands.

According to a statement issued by
Commissioner bennett of the general
land Office, none of the applications to
enter Alaska coal lands have passed to
entry. 1t also is shown that of the
Alaska coal cases preliminary adverse
reports have been received covering
about 700 entries.
The Cunningham group of thirty
three entries. upon which payment was
made in 1906 and 1907. and which will
cut an important figure in the Ballinger-
Pin chOt inquiry. are now in hearing
upon adverse reports of special agents.
Final reports have been received upon
100 entries, on large number of which
the general land Office has recommended
criminal proceedings. Adverse pro-
ceedings to cancel entries have been
directed upon most of the entries finally
reported upon by agents.
In the United States at large, final
adverse reports from agents have been
received in the last twelve months upon
cases involving more than l5O, 600 acres
of land within the United States.
Much of this is coal lands.
1t appears from these reports that in
the last eight years coal lands within
the United States have been obtained
by fraud to the extent of more than 50,
600 acres. These entries usually cover
the best of the coal and are today esti-
mated as being worth $40, 900, 600.
1t is declared that if mined on royalty
sufficiently low to enable independent
operators to compete with existing coal
combinations, the returns to the gov
ernment would reach more than one
hundred million dollars.

Baseball Rules

A statement of the rules committee
of the National baseball league:
For the first time two umpires are
officially recognized in the national
game, and their duties are defined.
The umpire behind the plate is the
umpire in chief, and the one on bases is
designated as field umpire.
Wild pitches and passed balls will no
longer be recognized, and these desig-
nations disappear from the game. They
will be classed as errors.
A batter throwing bat before run
ming so that it hits umpire or catcher
also will be fined for the first offense
five dollars. A catcher's box extending
fifteen feet from the bases is provided.
Foul strikes are designated ''illegalIy
batted balls" No change can be made
in the batter's box by batter after
pitcher is ready to deliver ball. A
ball passing an inield and hitting an
umpire on foul ground permits a runner
all the bases he can get, but, if an
umpire is hit by ball, no runner can
score unless forced by another base
runner.
The batting order must be delivered
to the umpire at the plate just before
the game by the two captains. This
order must be retained throughout the
game unless a man is taken out.
Umpires will make rulings on coach
ing violations or discoloring the ball in
their own judgment without waiting
for captains to notify them.
Throwing mask or glove at batted
ball by fielder entities the batter who
becomes a base runner to three bases.
These changes and additions become
the law of baseball in the National
league at once without further sanction.

Secretary Ballinser's Defence

In the speech which Secretary Bal
linger made Saturday night he seems to
have overlooked the main point in the
controversy that has ragged about his
name.
We are not aware that anyone en-
titled to public confidence has seriously
proposed that any executive officer Of
the government should violate the laws
enacted by congress, and it is certainly
very far from being complete defence
for the secretary to emphasize the i'm
portance of law observance.
The main point of the charge against
Secretary Ballinger is this: A large
amount of discretion is left to executive
officers. 1t is possible for them to
make of this discretion a most valuable
instrument for the defence of the public
interests, or this same discretion may
be used to the public inquiry. The man
that guides his public actions by q
punctilious sense of the technicalities of
the law, and refuses to take any action
in behalf of the public interests. which
is not specifically laid upon him as an
official duty by the law, falls far short
of being an efficient and faithful SER
want of the people.
1t is true that the charges against
Secretary Ballinger include some vio-
lationS Of law hut those arcnaatiopa
thus far appear to be rather trivial and
without serious justification.
1t is otherwise with the accusation
that he has failed to use his official
powers to their full measure for the
protection of the public interests, and
his emphasis of the point that he has
not failed to act according to the strict
measure of his legal duty does not tend

A committee of farmers in the New
Windsor district in Weld county was
set to work the other day to figure out
the cost of producing an acre of sugar
beets. AS base line 1909 tons the
acre was decided upon for the calculus
as this has been the average yield of
the district for the last five years. The
committee reported its estimated at
$47. As. At these figures the net loss to
renters is s. Is an acre and to the
farmer land owner it gives a profit of
only $l2.55. Conservative estimates

and make it necessary to receive a
gross amount of from $75 to $50 an acre

land shall pay at least $40 per annum or

may be said that strict conformity to

THE l.. C. ENDOWMENT.
Raising of Quarter Million for
Luther.

From time to time we have called
attention to the proposed perman-
ent endowment of $25O,O0O.00 for
Luther College, $5O,000.00 of which
has been promised by Hon. j. j. Hill
of ST. Paul. Last week we stated
that Prof. DR.. H. G. Stub has given
devote the entire year to the raising
of this money. Many others are at
work, and are determined that this
great opportunity to place Luther
College upon a substantial financial
foundation shall not be lost. Those
in charge of the matter are meeting
with splendid success wherever they
go among the friends of Luther Col
lege, and there is every reason to
believe that the endowment will be
accomplished during the next year
1t must be raised by November,
1911.
That the citizens of DEBORAH are
ready to do their part, and as they
always have, their home institution,
is evidenced by the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously
adopted by the DEBORAH Commercial
Club at it's meeting last night:
Whereas, the friends of Luther
College of this city are engaged in
campaign for the raising of a per-
manent endowment fund Of $780,
10000 for that institution. $780,
10000 of which has already been
promised by Hon. J. j. Hill of St.
Paul,

cial Club of the City of DEBORAH,
Iowa, that we heartily and enthusi-
astically endorse the project and
hereby tender the movement our
earnest support"
