CHiPPERFlELD COMMITTEE WILL
REPORT TO LEGISLATURE
NEXT MONDAY.
Rumor That Committee Found Illinois
Was Deprived of Large Tracts
OF Land by Private
individuals.

Springfield, H., 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. NJ. Chipperfeld of Cas-
ton. The report is ready, but is un
den lock and key. and the word has
gone out from Mr.. Chirpelf'eld's head
quarters that no intimation of it's con
tents shall be given out before it i:
submitted to the legislature.
It is the general impression tina
the committee made discovery II
is believed tley will show that the
state of Illinois has been systematic
ally rCh5ed of colossal lots of land
worth mint of money, through
these submerged land deals. 1t is eX.
pected the report will deal with each
and every individual case, and will
show how the states losses on these

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

tated against such corporations as
may Le named in the report.
SO successfully has the Chiperfield
report been guarded its contents car
only he 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 prop
ably be presented to the Legislature
February 10, and that he will prob
ably release the story on the report
on Susday night, February IL, for
publication in Monday morning

ever, is subject to change by Mr.
Chiperfield. The only definite state
