SUBMERGED LANDS
cHlPPERFlELD COMMITTEE WILL
REPORT TO LEGISLATURE
NEXT MONDAY.
Rumor That Committee Found Illinois
Was Deprived of Large Tracts
Of Land by Private
individuals.

Springfield Ill, Feb. 5.-The ex
IRENE secrecy with which it is being
guarded leads to the belief that the
report of the committee of the last
general assembly which made he eX
haustife submerged land inquiry IL
Illinois contains some real sensations
The committee is headed by Repre-
sentative B. M. Chipperfeld of Cas-
ton. The report is ready, but is un
der lock and key, and the word has
gone ont from Mr.. ChirpeliGeld's head
quarters that no intimation of it's con
tents shall be given out before it i:
submitted TO the legislature.
1t is the general impression tha'
the committee made discovery. 4
Is believed they will show that the
state of Illinois has been systematic
ally robbed of colossal lots of land
worth mint of money, through
these submerged land deals. 1t is ex.
pected the report will deal with eact
and every individual case, and will
show how the states losses on thesf
have mounted way into the millions
May Go to Assembly February 13.
Not only are the details of eac-
alleged steal given, but the law in
each case is defined. showing how
redress can be had. If this be true
wholesale litigation vii be precipi
tated against such corporations as
may te named in the report.
So successfully has the Chiperfeli
report been guarded its contents car
only lie surmised from the nature Of
the inquiry made and from the pur
rose of the probe as explained during
the last session.
B. NJ. Chiperfield said today thai
the report of the committee which in
vestigated submerged lands will PROB
ably be presented to the Legislature
February Is, and that he will prob
ably release the story on the report
on Susday night, February IL, for
publication in Monday morning
papers of February IS. This, now
ever, is subject to change by Mr.
Chiperfield. The only definite state
ment made by Mr.. Chiperfield was
that the report would not be present
ed to he Legislature during he coming
week.

FAMILY IN ROW
Widow Refuses to Comply With Dead
Husbands Wish Regarding Land
Grants to Peasants.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 5.--Every day
with the regularity of serial story
the Tolstoi family deploys itself In
the newspapers. The widow amour
ces to the world that she can not
think OF complying with her dead
husbands wishes that the peasants
on the Iasnaya Polyana estate SHOULD
remain the owners Of their land be-
cause she has seven sons anl three
daughters whose living must he con
sidered.
A tactless suggestion was made in
answer to this that perhaps 1t would
not undermine the constitutions OF
her sons if they tried the experiment
OF working Since then they nave
either fed abroad to raise cash on
their fathers memory or have re-
turned to obscurity here and in Mos
cCw.
The youngest daughter, Alexandra.
however, upholds as energetically the
fight for the Tolstonan creed as when
its prc?het WAS alive. She aud ner
mother are bomharding each other
with injunct!ops in the Moscow law
courts.
Many of Tolstoi's original manu-
scripts are in the Moscow Historical
Museum, whose curators lhd them
selves attacked on both sides. The
widow has notified them through
her lawyers, tAat ler daughter mist
not be allowed access to the Toistoi
room, as it was believed to be her
purpose TO remove some Of the docu-
ments as her fathers literary exc
cutriX Alexandra then obtained an
injunction against her mother enter
iGg the room because of her declared
intention not to surrender any of her
husband's papers taat she could find.
the court besought them to come to
an agreement, but after a two-hours'
painful interview, they parted on
worse terms than before. The court
has now placed seals on the Tolstoi
manuscript room until the rights OF
the case have been settled.
