live in mortal terror that the state of
Colorado is going to get something
for nothing from the governm. Mt
Congress recently turned over to the
state the INDIAN school At Fort Lewis
and about 700 acres Of hand to be
used for the support Of the school
In return the state agreed to main
tain the school.
Now some members Of the admins
tration. notably the new secretary of
the interior. have discovered that
there is coal under this land and in
a letter to the President. the secre-
tary expresses the opinion that this
coal was not given to the state and
that it is still the property Of the ma
tional government.
The entire transaction was supposed
to have been closed and the governor
has accepted the land on behalf of
the state. The land was given with
out reservation and, in the opinion OF
state officials, now belongs wholly to
the state.
Gov. Shafroth has received q copy
OF the letter sent by Walter l.. Fisher.
the new secretary of the interior. in

strange and wonderful ideas about
conditions in Colorado and Gov.
Shafroth has written to all Of the
Colorado representatives asking that
they use their influence to see that
no effort is made to deprive Colorado
of the land it has received. The

alleged fraudulent locatOrs OF Alaska
ccal lands.
Judge Cornelius H. Hanford, in the
United States District Court. In over
ruling the motion to instruct the jury
to acQuit Charles F. Munday. e. z.
Siegley and Archie Shiels. sustained
all the vital points contended for by
the defendants.
The ground on which the court re-
fused TO grant the motion to acQuit
was not raised by counsel for either
side in the suit, but by the Judge him
self.
II leaves the government 30 little
room to stand ond that it is said to be
practically assured that the prosecu-
tion will be dropped
The lands in question are the Eng
lish. or Sir Edward Stracey group.
They are the most valuable coal lands
in the world, being richer even than
the Cunningham claims. Estimates of
their value range from one hundred
million dollars to a much larger sum.
The defendants. together with Alger-
non Stracey. a brother of Sir Edward
Stracey. were indicted at Tacoma last
fall, charged with conspiracy to de.
fraud the government. Stracey re-
mained in Vancouver, B. c., and avoid
ed arrest. After the jury had been
completed counsel for the defense
moved for instructions to the jury to
acquit the defendants.
The argument of the attorneys for
the defense was based almost en-
tirely on the contention that the 1904
law applied to Alaska coal claims in
stead Of the general land law Of 1873,
while the attorneys for the govern
ment insisted that the prohibitions of
the law Of 1873 should be read into
the law of 1904. Inasmuch as the
law of 1904 In terms permits the as
signment Of coal claims, the defend
ants counsel argued that II was not
illegal for the. defendants. to agree to
assign their coal claims.
Furthermore, defendants counsel
contended that IL it were legal for
locator to assign his claim. it was
eqdally legal for any person to buy
'as many of such assignments as he
could pay for, thus removing the very
foundation from the indictment upon
which the defendants were indicted.
"A foreign corporation" said the
court. cannot lawfully acquire or
hold a coal claim in Alaska, eithe'
in its corporate name nor in the
name of any agent or trustee. There
fore, for the reason that the indict-
ment charges conspiracy to acquire
coal claims or proprietary rights to
coal claims in Alaska for a foreign
corporation. it must be sustained as
4 valid indictment and the objection
to the introduction of evidence must
be overruled.
THE court will, however. instruct
the jury that to justify conviction
. of the defendants under it. the evil
dence must prove that the object Of
the conspiracy, If any. must have
been to perpetrate fraud by secur-
ing coal claims or proprietary rights
