Pinchot With Insurgents.
Following his return from Oyster
Bay, Mr.. Pinehot gave out an interest,
ing interview, praislng the war of the
insurgents in congress. Former For
ester Piuchot made the claim that he
was expressing his individual senti-
ments and declared his remarks were
inspired by nothing more than his per-
sonal views.
Speaking of the bills which had been
before congress, Mr.. Pinchot said he
hoped particularly for the success OF
the bill which would prevent coal COM
panies taking up lands for mining pur-
poses, by sending settlers to get farm
land on the site of the coal deposits,
This bill, he said, would mean that the
settler taking up farming land could
not mine the underlying coal unless he
applied for the right. 1t would stop
fraud and compel the companies to take
up land Mt its real value.

but that this had been all smoothed
