CONGRESS TURNS
MARTIN DOWN
INVESTIGATION CAUSED BY COLO
RADIO MAN is
FINISHED.
CASE OF FRIAR LANDS
Philippine COMMISSION is Ex-
ONERATED-VOTE
UNANIMOUS.

WaShington.-The House committee
on insular affairs has unanimously
sagreed to report on the Martin friar
lands resolution, completely eXonerat-
ing the Philippines commission and all
other officers connected with the
transaction complained of, "of all crit
icism for selling and leasing public
lands and friar lands to persons not
citizens of the islands, and in tracts
greater than specified in the statute
of 1902
This is the finish to the investiga-
tion made as a result of a resolution
offered by Representative Martin of
Colorado, who charged that the COM
mission and certain officers of the
Philippine government had violated
the law in selling and leasing public
and friar lands.
Not single member of the commit
tee sustained Mr.. Martins contentious,
the exoneration as to fraud being
unanimous. Even Congressman Ruck-
er, Mr. Martins Colorado colleague on
the insular committee voted for the
report.
Several members favored a minor
ity report of questions of law, and will
make recommendations to Congress on
the amount of land to be hereafter
granted, but all were agreed there had
been no evidence submitted to sustain
Martins suggestion of crookedness.
The friar lands Investigation has
been an expensive one on account of
the great distance from which wit
nesses had to be summoned. The
printed record of committee hearings
cover 1000 pages, and the total cost
to the government will approximate
100000.
In statement submitted to the
committee, Governor Gen. Forbes
charges Mr.. Martin with having dis
torted the facts in his effort to make
case. Commissioner Worcester, in
a statement to the committee, after
citing many instances to prove his as,
sertions, said:
Representative Martin, by quota
tion and misrepresentation of pas
sages which suited his purpose, and
by the suppression Of passages, which,
if quoted, would have made his con-
tentions ridiculous, has succeeded in
presenting an utterly misleading pic
ture of the policy of the Philippine
government relative to the disposal of
friar lands.'

The Chino Copper Company, with c.
M. MacNeill and Spencer Penrose OF
Colorado Springs, large stockholders
and directors, reports development OF
ore bodies almost beyond belief. On
the company's property, comprising
$500 acres at Santa Rita, N. NJ, 40
100000 tons Of copper ore, averaging
2.35 per cent copper, has been blocked
out and the company's reduction
plant, having a capacity of 5000 tons
a dav, will be completed in June and
will be doubled by January, 1912. The
Significance of this new copper devei-
onment to the mining world may be
realized from the fact that it repre-
sents copper ore valued at $244,4OO,
600, at the present price of 13 cents
pound, and will result in placing
New Mexico on the copper map along
side Utah, where the Utah Copper
Company, another of MacNeilTs en-
terprises, has been operating for some
years as one of the main factors IN
the copper world.

method, the state will furnish him a
bottle of hydrocyanic acid, one drop
